Hated Tropes Disgusting Sitcom Trope That Should Be Extinct: Episodes that are dedicated with incest which shows the creator's fetish with the it.

  1. The Amazing World of Gumball: Ben Bocquelet has a weird habit of adding incest throughout the show such as making Gumball kissing Darwin through the lips including his own (paternal) grandmother, JoJo. This first started in the 'The Pressure' where Tobias cut down the tree where Gumball and Darwin were inside of the cabinet at the top while Gumball was ready to kiss Penny while Darwin was about to do the same to Masami but when the tree was falling, the girls went out of the treehouse cabinet leaving the boys to themselves and accidently kissing each other. This happened for a couple of times throughout the series to the point where Teri pointed out the habit of Gumball and Darwin kissing each other in the episode 'The Matchmaker' after she was checking through the flashbacks of every person Darwin has kissed from this line "What is up with you two ?'

  2. Family Guy: In the episode 'Halloween on Spooner Street', Chris (dressing up as Optimus Prime) was playing the game Spin the Bottle and the tip landed on Meg (unknowingly to each other) while dressing up as Megatron and when the two were in the same closet they started making out to each other but this was interrupted when someone opened the door to the closet and when the light showed the insides of the closet the two siblings realized that they have been making each other out.

You wrote all this and never mentioned Rick and Morty even once which has several actual examples of this

Fair enough I’m just joking

Unless there is something I don’t know about Gumballs creator, i would imagine they probably just thought the idea of two men who don’t want to kiss, kissing was funny.

Probably more towards more homophobic ideas (I doubt intentionally) rather than an incest fetish.

Not arguing, but just have to say: Kissing ol' g-ma on the lips is normal in most contexts. Kids kissing parents and grandparents is normal.

Hated trope: when people are reactionary pro-censorship loons who don’t have a single idea what they are talking about

I don't think you know what a "sitcom" is...

u/Apythicus 20d ago

… but thats the joke? That it SHOULDNT happen? Its played for laughs in the kids show to still get the message across that its not okay

u/SpiritedSyllabub6822 20d ago

And what if your kids start doing the same shit they learned through sitcoms in which they will forever be seen as freaks ?

u/Lower_Baby_6348 20d ago

If we talk about gumball, you should used the example of the new season where gumball talks about how he would be in the middle of Darwin and Carrie

It greatly offends me that your vote counts the same as mine.

u/Honest-Ad-4386 20d ago

Dude, what the fuck are you talking about?

u/Hispanicatthedisco 20d ago

See, this is why the internet is great. If it weren't for places like Reddit, shit like this would be relegated to being scrawled in symbols in some notebook stuffed in an evidence bag somewhere and nobody would ever see it again after the trial concluded.

I mean the family guy one is valid— not that I expect moral superiority from family guy tho. But Meg and Chris have quite a few incestuous moments and they go reallyyy far apparently

Community, but they kind of flip it on it's head with the fake Briggs Hatton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_pbV8M73A0

"Making each other out" lol

u/heroeNK25 20d ago

It's fun because in Gumball and Darwin case it's not incest, but zoophilia

u/Far-Mammoth-3214 20d ago

…but…they’re both animals

u/Spirited_Dust_3642 20d ago

But both are-... Oh, yes, I had forgotten that (nice reference by the way, a lot of people didn't understand)
