YMMV / Total Drama: Battle of the Generations

• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: While giving the contestants the rundown of the Samoa challenge, Chef emphasizes the importance they place on family. Dominic Toretto then appears to voice his approval. No one acknowledges his appearance and Chef continues the explanation as if nothing happened.
  • Cody occasionally referencing memes throughout his run also crosses over into this.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • The Author's Notes at the First Aftermath chapter states who they think are the canon winners of the series. The second part of the Island (2023) confirms that Owen is the official winner of the first season.
  • For many of the chapters, Chef acts as the co-host of the season and describes what the challenges will be about. Come the Reboot season in 2023, and that is exactly the role that Chef fills throughout the season.
• Jerkass Woobie: Dave. While his actions aren't very moral or justified, the harassment he's been through between seasons and being manipulated (albeit briefly) again this season shows how much the guy has been swung around the place since his original debut. It also becomes quite clear that he's having self-esteem issues because of everything the show is throwing at him.
• Moral Event Horizon: Amy crosses this when she tells Sammy that she wished the latter just died in the womb. This makes Sammy realize that Amy will never change and is Beyond Redemption.
• Squick: Anyone aware of the Better Call Saul episode being referenced in "Friday Night Crackdown's" post-elimination scene will realize that Sugar takes a swig from a bottle of piss.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Some readers have expressed the sentiment that the author's runner up considerations for the returnees, Staci and Josee, would have been more interesting than their choice of Izzy and Jo.
