YMMV / Toddlers & Tiaras

• Ensemble Dark Horse: Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson. She got her own show for crying out loud!
• Harsher in Hindsight: A judge in one episode tries to claim that kids who do gymnastics have it worse than kids who do pageants. While they were clearly meant to be wrong, the later-exposed sex abuse scandal ended up proving that both pursuits could be bad in their own ways.
• Memetic Mutation: Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, particularly after the "go-go juice" incident went viral.
  "A dolla makes me holla, Honey Boo Boo child!"
• Nightmare Fuel: The spray tans being applied to a baby or toddler. There's just so much crying and screaming...
• Strawman Has a Point:
  • Danielle, the epitome of what's wrong with these pageants and a bit of a darling of the producers because her huge tantrums bring huge ratings, made a great point when a one-year-old that was literally carried on stage won the grand prize. What did she say? "It's just a baby. She didn't even do nothin'." Many viewers agreed.
  • A very flamboyant judge said that he hates it when the wigs look obviously fake (usually due to being too big or unbalanced), like someone just "stuck a poodle to the back of their kid's head!"
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: A common reaction to the overwhelming number of parents who care more about looks and winning than their own children. This can also apply to some of the brattier children.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not for Little Girls?: Oh, a show about little girls playing dress-up and having a beauty contest! Sounds fun and wholesome, right? Sure it is...
