Go To


1	* {{Adorkable}}: The series protagonist Duncan. Most of the show is him trying to fit in and follow trends, only to fail. This only adds to his charm.
2	* CriticalDissonance: On Rotten Tomatoes, [[https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/duncanville/s01 the first season]] scored 91% critical praise (though admittedly based on just 11 reviews), but had an audience score of 55% from users.
3	* CrossesTheLineTwice:
4	** The sign outside Duncan’s school reading “Pretty Much Asbestos Free!”
5	** In “Witch Day,” Hal the hardware man accidentally feeds his truffle sniffing pig a corn dog.
6	** In "Jack's Pipe Dream", Bex after hearing that Jack's rock opera would include the Vietnam war, suggests to take her grandmother who was a veteran to see it, thinking that it'll bring back some great memories.
7	** In the episode "Who's Vroomin Who" Kimberly, who had just been awaken by Jing's toy, got so angry that she almost smothered Jing with a pillow.
8	** "Are you gonna be okay home alone with none of your friends speaking to you and a drawer full of freshly sharpened knives?"
9	* JerkassWoobie: As mean as Kimberly is to Duncan, you can see why she acts out, with how the rest of her family ignores her.
10	* MemeticMutation: "Ham and cheese!"[[note]]Really, the entire Fridge episode, after its spontaneous notoriety stemming from a promotional tweet from [=HypraSeaPea=].[[/note]]
11	* {{Moe}}: Jing is just the cutest.
12	* TheScrappy: Mayor Jen is very much detested for being an immensely mean and manipulative CorruptPolitician who [[KarmaHoudini always gets away with her vile actions]].
13	* SoOkayItsAverage: See CriticalDissonance. Despite critical praise, general audiences view the series to be more of a run-of-the-mill sitcom.
14	* {{Squick}}:
15	** Kimberly wearing the same underwear for five days and having to turn them inside out, even Wolf got grossed out eventually.
16	** Jing's crush on Duncan. Thankfully the creators seemed to catch on quick to the grossness, and the gag was dropped after the first couple of episodes.
17	* TearJerker:
18	** 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 at an attempt to become internet-famous in the episode, Party Like a Rocket Star.
19	--->'''Bex:''' NO GRANDMA! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE. starts tearing up I think a piece of the Devil got in me. voice starts cracking and she's sobbing YOU'RE MY EVERYTHING GRANDMA! YOU'RE MY EVERYTHING!
20	** 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 PlayedForLaughs but still very sad.
