History YMMV / Duncanville

* {{Squick}}: Kimberly wearing the same underwear for five days and having to turn them inside out, even Wolf got grossed out eventually.
** In fact each episode makes sure to feature at least one gross-out joke with Kimberly whether it's offscreen or on.

* SoOkayItsAverage: See CriticalDissonance. Despite critical praise, audiences view the first season to be more of a run-of-the-mill sitcom.

** Bex appears to be this show's [[ButtMonkey Meg]] or at least a close second compared to Kimberly with how most of the jokes centered around her are about how she clings for approval and living with only her grandma. This is specially shown when she yelled "Shut Up" to her Grandma at an attempt to become internet-famous in the episode, Party Like a Rocket Star.

* ToughActToFollow: Between the breakout success of ''WesternAnimation/BlessTheHarts'', which ended Fox's nine-year adult animation DorkAge, and considering ''Duncanville'' co-creator Mike Scully was also a writer and the showrunner of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' from seasons 9 to 12 which many considered to be the start of that show's SeasonalRot, there is a bit of skepticism on whether or not this show was going to be just as bad as the network's past animated failures.

* PopCulturalOsmosis: The show's ThemeTune is actually a licensed song from IRONTOM called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fg-EmuLH1o "I'm Better"]], but not that many people would know that.

* TheScrappy: Mayor Jen is very much detested for being an immensely mean and manipulative CorruptPolitician who [[KarmaHoodini always gets away with her vile actions]].

* {{Tearjerker}}:

** The two sibling camp councilors in "Sibling Revelry" who were former campers who never got along and were stuck in camp for 20 years. They still bicker and don't even know if their parents are still alive, It's all PlayedForLughs but still very sad.
