History YMMV / TheMaskedDancerUK

* EliminationHoudini: Pearly King in the second series wasn't as good a dancer as the reactions and votes to stay in the competition from both the audience and the judges would have you believe. Similar to Doughnuts in the third series of ''Singer'', he was chosen more for the character he brought to his performances rather than his actual skills, though unlike Doughnuts he made it all the way to the final. While his performances in the last two episodes were considerably better, some people thought it was too little too late.

** In the semi-final of the second series, Onomatopoeia impresses the audience with his tap dancing skills, with the music even stopping at one point to show it off.

* BrokenBase: Viewers are divided on whether this show is as good as the Masked Singer or not; some people think the Masked Singer is better because the contestant’s singing voices are often enough of a clue while ''Dancer'' relies on more hints in the form of games, but others enjoy watching the contestants show off some rather impressive moves.

* GrowingTheBeard: The second series faced an improvement due to acctually being able to have a studio audience this time as opposed to the online audience of the previous series, as well as airing weekly like ''Singer'' does instead of daily like the first series did.

** In the first episode, Viper/[[spoiler:Jordan Banjo, a professional dancer]] was voted out after not only ending up in the bottom three, but also having the judges choose Beetroot, whom the viewers felt didn't really dance, over him.
** Episode 6 of the second series has Candlestick/[[spoiler:Liam Charles]], who, while not a professional dancer, was still better than other contestants such as Sea Slug and Pearly King, who did not end up in the bottom two for that episode. And while Onomatopoeia, the other person in the bottom two, was still fairly good, most people agreed that Candlestick was the better dancer (even the studio audience seemed to agree, but it was the judge's decision).

** Just the fact that the majority of the dancers are actually in their 40's or 50's. It shows that you can still be a good dancer despite your age.

* SoOkayItsAverage: While this show does still have its fans, most people agree that ''Singer'' is better.

** Squirrel doing the splits during some of her performances, most notably in the final. [[spoiler:Even more so when it’s revealed that she’s the 56-year-old Creator/BonnieLangford]].

** During the first few episodes, a popular guess from the viewers for Knickerbocker Glory was David Walliams... and then he appeared as a guest judge in Episode 6, shutting that down.

* CaptainObviousReveal: As soon as the possibility of [[spoiler:Knickerbocker Glory being Craig Revel Horwood]] was brought up, it became obvious with their clue packages, especially in the semi-final. In fact, several viewers even guessed it from the first few episodes. It’s probably why they ended up the first to be unmasked in the semi-final. And even for those who didn't guess correctly it didn't take long for it to become apparent that [[spoiler:he was actually a man DisguisedInDrag]].
* HilariousInHindsight: One that happened within the same episode: In Episode 5, Jonathan Ross guessed that Squirrel could be [[spoiler:Zoe Ball]], only for [[spoiler:Llama to get unmasked and revealed to be Zoe Ball]] instead. He even lampshades this.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
** ''Everything'' about Rubber Chicken, who just ''owns'' his persona, moving his arms like people do when impersonating chickens, and constantly making clucking noises. In one episode, Joel throws some seeds onto the floor for him, which he pretends to eat.
** In Episode 3, Joel speaks in an over-the-top southern accent as Scarecrow is about to leave the stage after her performance. Mo tells him to never speak like that again.
** David Walliums joins the panel as a guest judge in Episode 5, [[CluelessDetective and guesses Donald Trump for one of the contestants]].
** The aforementioned moment with the pigeon showing up at the end of Carwash's semi-final performance.
** Holly Willoughby joins the panel for the final while wearing a bright yellow dress. Carwash's first performance that night featured the dancing sponges, and she realises her dress makes her look like a sponge as well.

** BigLippedAlligatorMoment: At the end of Carwash's performance of "Singing in the Rain", someone in a pigeon costume comes onto the stage and offers Carwash a cone of chips. This is never brought up again, nor is it mentioned when he gets unmasked.

** In Episode 4, Car Wash does a few backflips in succession across the stage.
