ITT: Tropes you fricking hate
>It's an episode with clips from older episodes
>it's an episode
>The cool kids are buttholes.
>Previously nerdy character becomes an butthole when he or she joins the cool kids.
This always bothered me even as a kid. The cool kids in my school were well, cool. The nerds were usually the biggest jerks.
This is part of a larger trope I really dislike
Character suddenly acquires money/power/women or some other thing that elevates his social status and immediately becomes a giant dickhead in the most out of character way
'person acquires a tiny crumb of power and lets their ego run unchecked' is pretty accurate to real life, people just see it in media all the time and think "I would never do that" while being the exact kind of person who would
>people just see it in media all the time and think "I would never do that" while being the exact kind of person who would
That's why you don't think "I would never do that". You say "I WILL never do that".
Not thou shalt not. Say "I WILL NOT."
It's contrived as frick because of the status quo, but that doesn't stop it from being annoying. The only example I can think of that doesn't do it is Steven Universe, believe it or not. Greg has a lavish party and the bill ends up being ridiculous, but he still has plenty left to live comfortably and he never turns into an OOC dickhead.
What about when a character becomes extremely wealthy / successful but then quits it all because they cant hang out with their friends 24/7.
these make sense once you realize that people who grew into cartoonists were spiteful, vindictive fricks, who became little tyrants the second they got any sort of control in their miserable lives.
Maybe Butch Hartman
the problem is that no one questions WHY cool kids are, or rather can be, buttholes, and why nerdy kids can be jerks
the former happens because they can afford to, they never had to struggle and they know they can wave their dicks around without consequences
the latter happens because nerdy kids feel disillusioned with a world that mistreats them
neither is 100% guaranteed to happen, but when it does, theyre usually vastly different types of jerks
>The nerds were usually the biggest jerks.
You sound like a woman who doesn't understand banter
found the nerd
>found the nerd
>on Cinemaphile.org
>t. Douchey loner nerd kid
When it's with someone youre not friends with, it's not banter, it's called being a rude homosexual. But aspies aren't known for their social tact and there was a reason you were a loner
Not him, but in my (euro) school the nerds really were the biggest fricking buttholes in the school (right after stupid b***hy teen girls but they’re women).
The cool kids did banter a lot but it was never overly malicious or toxic and they could still just spend time with you without being too much of buttholes. I was a very mediocre kid and even though they made fun of me at times, they never went over the line and actually called me to hang out with them or helped me in gym and maths classes because they were just normal teens.
Nerds, on the other hand, were so self-conscious, miserable and needy of feeling superior to someone that nobody wanted to spend time with them, because who wants to listen to some skinny frick berate you for not knowing the latest JRPG or not watching Battlestar Galactica?
>EWW LOOK AT THAT GROSS NERD HAHA WHAT A homosexual
>OMG WHY IS HE SO MEAN TO ME NERDS ARE SUCH MEAN LOSERS
I know women aren't capable of introspection of critical thinking but jesus christl.
You're not a homosexual because you're alone, you're alone because you're a homosexual. Learn some self control and people skills or cope forever
Based, this isn't a thread for anon's manifesto on women
cart before horse
>"banters" with people he doesn't know
>gets butthurt when no one associates with him because people should be forced to be his friend no matter what he does to them
>copes that its their fault he's rude to them but he's not actually rude its just banter
>decides to live on an anonymous image board instead where no one can recognize and exclude him like they do everywhere else
like pottery. you thought real life would be like Cinemaphile lol
In my school the cool, jock types were a lot smarter than the nerdy ugly kids
it seems some nerd fricked your girl or something, usually that's why "cool" kids are like that, they can't handle someone different to their empty consoomer head
>The main character finally snaps and blows up at the annoying character for being annoying
>Annoying character runs off crying, sad, etc.
>Rest of the group is mad at the MC for this, despite MC being right
>MC has to apologize to annoying character
>Status quo restored
>Annoying character WILL be a little shit again and there’s nothing you can to about it
Or:
>Symbolic haircut
I hate this shit so goddamn much. More of an Cinemaphile thing but FRICK I hate it, especially since 99% of the time the girl looked better with long hair.
The "Radical protestors are going too far" plot. I hate liberals so much.
>Symbolic haircut
Yes, frick this shit. Long hair is so much cooler.
>symbolic haircut
>their hair is shown to be longer afterwards
huh?
>character does a meta commentary about the overly done trope they or another character is about to play on
>proceeds to play it completely straight afterwards
I dont even necessarily hate this but it just feels dumb and a waste of time.
It would be fun to have the whole trope play out as usual while the fifth wheel of the group keeps going "and now here's what's going to happen... of course, it happened. What a surprise." It would culminate to the biggest shit storm ever, one of the characters holding to a tree root above an endless chasm as the characters playing along with the trope would look completely lost, the odd one out calls it quit over how stupid it is, and then they just go "Hold on. Hold on. What are we doing? What's going on here?" and then they just untangle the quid pro quo in a single exchange and go "oooh, so that's what it was all about - I feel so STUPID right now". After a short silence, they all part ways in different directions, the guy is abandoned dangling on the tree root as if he wasn't there, then the episode ends.
>The whole "kill him, he is the fake/clone" and "no kill him, im clearly the real [character]" Trope
Ash vs evil dead did this trope good but still I hate it.
Does anyone even do this unironically anymore or are you just complaining about a dead and buried legacy trope
Might as well gripe about falling anvils
>character A saves character B's life
>B dedicates himself to being A's servant
>A gets annoyed by it
>A sets up a fake danger to be "saved" from so he can get even with B
>the fake danger becomes real
>everything turns out fine and then A tells B to frick off and stop being a servant
I swear to frick, every single cartoon series has done this plot at some point
I can only remember the Hey Arnold one, which is exactly as you describe, and not a single other one.
Not him but I know back at the barnyard did it
powerpuff girls did it and i'm sure there's more
Could've sworn CatDog did it too
The fat comedic relief that only relies on food jokes and farts
>MC is facing off against a villain who is unabashedly evil
>Finally beat the big bad
>I can’t kill him, or I’ll be just as bad as him!
NO YOU FRICKING WON’T HE’S PURE EVIL
SOME PEOPLE ARE BEYOND REDEMPTION
BEYOND SAVING
PURE EVIL
F U C K
Or:
>main character about to fight big bad absolute evil
>"you know[main character],you and i are not so different"
YES THEY FRICKING ARE
>Character goes through character development
>Ignored by the sequel because the writers didn't know how to write them
>Characters tries to improve themselves, ends up becoming a jerk, character reverts to their former self
I hate the status quo in general.
>two characters are in love but cant confess
>they finally confess in the last episode
>either thats the end or there is a sequel and they broke up in the sequel because writers dont know how to write people in a relationship
I hate the status quo too,anon, you're not alone
I dont hate the freudian trio but is really obnoxious when they go for the route of "the skinny ,the fat and the girl "
>we need the best friend to be unimposing and obviously stand no chance of hooking up with the token female ladywoman, especially so as to not get in the way of the MC and her realizing that what they were looking for was there in front of them all along
>it's OK he will get his own love interest, who will also be fat
Fricking hate these. The last anon touches on another thing that bugs me, love interests being genderbent clones or exact opposites (to the point you wonder what the hell they have in common), no in-between.
>modern day superhero has to stop a bank robbery
i dont know if that still a common crime in the US but last time i heard in the news about someone irl trying to do that was back in like 2006
>who did it episode
>it was the pet
Does it count in Housebroken if they're all pets?
>Character lies about some incredibly implausible stunt they pulled
>People actually buy that he did it
>Ends up having to do exactly that stunt by the end of the episode/movie
>Character actually pulls a stunt by sheer accidental/events lining up improbably
>Tries to convince everyone but they won't believe him
>"bad guy" was being mind controlled, or forced or something
>"heroes" still beat the shit out of him
>MC gets a beating from the bully:
Why can't they hit back at the bully for once?
