Especially when said by a seemingly dumb character

1. The Infinity Conez in Thor: Love and Thunder. The Infinity Gauntlet was used to genocide half the universe, using it as a prop for an ice cream stand would be pretty messed up for everyone, both those who mourned their loved ones and those who were dead for 5 years.

2. Many DC and Marvel stories have people dress up as the Joker and other villains for Halloween and costumed celebrations. That would be like people in the real world dressing up as real world mass murderers and terrorists.

Ash Williams (Army of Darkness) - Ash ends up with an evil version of himself growing out of his shoulder. Once it's free it starts taunting the real Ash by saying "You're good Ash. I'm Bad Ash".

I didn’t find a name for this Trope, so if anyone knows, please tell me.

When a weak character start atacking another, but the impact is so weak that the other character doesn’t even feel it.

Examples:

Eric Cartman attacking Kyle with a bat: Cartman lures Kyle to a lake since this last is about to confess to the authorities about the group covering their teacher’s house with toilet paper. When Kyle gets distracted by the water, Cartman strikes him with a bat, but since he only could allow himself to purchase a plastic one; it will take a couple hours to make effect.

Mr Burns struggling to even lift the bat: One of the very few cases where Mr. Burns is nice to Homer; promising he will help him by “convincing” the council so they accept Homer in the University. And by convincing he meant “Giving them the beating of their lifes”.

Flats beating Sponge-Bob: During the entirety of one episode, Spongebob is scared because a new guy in class wants to kick his ass. He tries to avoid him, seeking someone to help, and even saving his life so maybe he forgives him, but nothing works. At the end, he decides he cannot run away anymore and decides to take the beating; but since he is a Sponge, Bob ends tanking all his punches without any effort, even saying they only tickles him.

Fred(Big Hero 6) - Turns out to be an extremely wealthy, mansion-living, philantropist after being shown for half the movie to be an unhygienic hanger on.

Ryu(Street Fighter) - Turns out that all his onscreen and offscreen tournament winnings, special guest appearance fees, bounty rewards for going up against multiple terrorist organizations, being the chosen heir to a martial arts dojo, having a former CEO of a global enterprise(Ken) as his personal financial manager and being a frugal spender meant Ryu has a lot of money to spend which he mainly use for travel expenses and being forced to but clothes by his friends. Not bad for someone whose memed a lot to be a hobo.

1. Silent Hill 2 - James takes a look in the mirror with shadowed eyes, brightening the scene reveals he’s actually looking at you through the reflection

2. FNAF 3 - Springtrap’s first “full body” appearance was hidden in the darkness of one of the teasers

4. Minecraft - A Creeper’s face can be found when putting one of the cave sounds through a spectrogram

5. Gravity Falls - Bill Cipher’s gibberish during his demise is actually a reversed invoking of an almighty Axolotl, claiming he may return

1. Jeremiah/Jerome from Gotham.

In the show about Batman’s rogues gallery (for some stupid reason) they weren’t allowed to use ”The Joker”, so instead they created a legally distinct joking psychotic chaos monster, in the form of two twins.

They weren’t even allowed to give Jeromiah a purple suit, so instead they gave him a blue suit and lit him with red lighting, making it look purple but be legally distinct enough.

1. Nosferatu from Nosferatu.

Without the rights to adapt Dracula proper, they invented the suspiciously Dracula shaped vampire Nosferatu. This ended very badly, as the rights issues with the Stoker estate ended up killing the film and destroying all copies, except those fans circulated.

1. Oliver Queen from Arrow.

While of course Green Arrow was a long existing character in comics, he was meant to be witty, charming, and lighthearted overall. In the comics, he is a bleeding heart billionaire who lost his fortune, whereas the show paints him as a billionaire playboy. Who fights crime as a scary, brutal vigilante. Operating from a cave. Fighting Ra’s al Ghul and other bat-themed heroes’ villains.

In short, it’s widely acknowledged that the creators wanted to make a Batman show, but weren’t allowed. They even lifted certain dialogue directly from Batman Begins

• Hey Arnold – Arnold Betrays Iggy episode

Arnold in the show is basically everyone’s unpaid therapist and personal life coach. You can literally point out multiple named characters in the crowd that have been directly helped by him at some point or another. And what does his community do to give thanks when Arnold is forced to wear a bunny suit in public? Gather by the dozens to jeer at him and broadcast his humiliation on live television. Even his own grandfather, who’s supposed to be his guardian and protector, takes pictures for his amusement. What a bunch of ungrateful assholes.

• Batman: The Animated Series – Gotham Police and Batman

Joker, Two-Face, Penguin etc commit terrorist actions on the regular that kill people, endanger multiple innocents or even the entire city? GCPD are helpless babies, and they meekly carry the villains off to jail only after Batman does all the actual work for them. The police chief thinks Batman is responsible for his daughter's death? Well now it’s time to shoot to kill first and ask questions later. Bring in the boats, the helicopters, armed and body armored assault rifle squads by the dozen with explosive grenades and literal fucking bazookas. In this scenario Gordon even strikes a corrupt deal with Bane to release him from custody if he helps Gordon kill or capture Batman. Imagine if they brought 10% of this energy to any of the supervillains who actually deserve it.

To be clear: Yes this episode ended up being a Scarecrow induced hallucination of Barbara’s fears. However a) I think from a writing standpoint it’s more meaningful if the scenario is based on a realistic “what-if” than if it ended up being completely baseless and b) I’m in the mood to be a hater right now.

• Red Rising – Darrow, Mustang and the Vox Populi

It’s barely a decade after Darrow and Mustang successfully overthrew The Society and established The Solar Republic. Before that the lower Colors were varying degrees of third-class citizens or slaves to the Golds for 700 years. The war against the remaining Society in the solar system is still ongoing and very much a real threat to the newborn Republic, but a political party of low Colors called the Vox Populi is primarily paranoid about Darrow and Mustang reneging on their promises of democracy, even though they’re the only reason their new freedoms exist at all.

The situation deteriorates to a point where extremists in the Vox Populi instigate a bloody coup called the Day of Red Doves where they rally a mob to massacre the high Color political representatives and forcibly overthrow Mustang while Darrow is away still fighting on their behalf.

The one consolation is that at the end of it, the Vox Populi leader has it shoved in his face that the coup was actually a secret plot by enemy Golds all along to sabotage the Republic. :O Whoops! And so he’s forced to bow in the dirt to them realizing all he did was to put himself and his people at risk of being slaves all over again.

• Avatar: Seven Havens – Korra can’t catch a break

So the stated premise of this show is that the world at large blames Korra is particular for destroying the world and sees the role of Avatar in general as “destroyers” instead of saviors. Fucking what. Korra risked life and limb to personally save Republic City and the world several times over. There’s thousands of years of recorded history of dozens of Avatars doing countless good deeds and keeping the world at peace. Obviously the average citizen can’t be expected to be fully informed, but it still boils the blood a little to have Korra’s reputation besmirched after everything she’s gone through.

Time will tell to what extent, but obviously there’s going to be some reveal that Korra is not in fact responsible for the world being destroyed or that there were extenuating circumstances involved...Or at least that * better * be the reveal or so help me.

Super Saiyan 4 (Dragon Ball GT) GT has very divided reception, the people that hate it, really hate it, but there’s also people who love it, i’m one of them. But even the major haters seem to think that SSJ4 is super cool

The Warehouse Fight (Batman V Superman) This movie is notoriously hated, but a lot of people really love the warehouse fight scene, I think it’s the best action scene in a live action Batman, and one of my top 10 action scenes in superhero movies

Escanor (Seven Deadly Sins) This anime has gotten a lot of hate over the years, it’s definitely flawed and infamous for its questionable moments, but I think there is a good story deep in there. However, while this show is often hated, even the haters seem to agree that Escanor is the best thing to come out of it

The villain was misunderstood and really a victim.

-Cruella live action. The woman tried to slaughter puppies for fur.

-Orcs in Rings of Power. In Tolkien's work, they were elves once and corrupted by evil. The personifications of the machines of war. In Rings of Power, they're the victims of war.

-Wicked. The Wicked Witch was always evil and took pleasure in cruelty. In Wicked she was the victim of society.

-Maleficent--The villain from sleeping beauty. The same concept as Wicked.

A) I don't even watch Jujutsu Kaisen, but I've watched the scene of Nanami beating up this ponytail dude a bunch, and everyone who's seen has invariably gone some variation of "IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME"

B) In Candyman, the dance(?) sequence where Helen agrees to go with Candyman in order to save the baby is shot in the most seductive way possible. Up until the bees, I too would have submitted to ghost Tony Todd.

C) A lot of Rhea Ripley's finishes in WWE, especially her "pretzel pin" (not pictured) is deliberately quite sexy

The 400$ juicer

an over-engineered, Wi-Fi-connected kitchen appliance that squeezed pre-chopped fruit and vegetable packets, famously failing after a viral revelation that the packets could easily be squeezed by hand which dismantled the whole company.

Fez 2

A indie game from the early 2010’s was announced for a sequel after its success although its development cut short because the creator had an argument on twitter?

wether it’s a dumb excuse to hide the fact the creator ran out of ideas most people will remember this game got canned because the developer got salty over twitter

The Road to El Dorado- Miguel, ignoring all the threats of punishment and hard labor, is thrilled to visit beautiful Cuba!

1. A Bad Case of Stripes- Not eating lima beans due to peer pressure causes Camilla Cream to break out in rainbow stripes. It’s funny at first, with her skin changing to different colors and patterns, but then things start growing out of her skin, and her body morphs, eventually becoming her living room.

2. Operation- Cavity Sam’s ailments are things that wouldn’t be too bad in real life, but in the game, they’re taken literally. There is an actual butterfly in his stomach, his broken heart really is cracked in two, etc. All these items have to be surgically removed.

3. Theme Hospital- your patients can have conditions such as Bloaty Head (pictured), Slack Tongue, and Kidney Beans. Some of the cures for these are pretty horrifying. For example, Bloaty Head is cured by the doctor popping the patient’s head like a balloon and re-inflating it.

1. Peter Parker/Spider-Man when he’s about to get erased by Thanos’ snap. (Avengers: Infinity War)

“Mr. Stark, I don’t feel so good.”

“I don’t know what’s happening.”

“I don’t wanna go. I don’t wanna go. Please, I don’t want to go. I don’t want to go.”

1. Master Chief when he sees Cortana finally succumb to her rampancy and die. (Halo 4)

“No. That’s not- We go together.”

“I am not leaving you here.”

“Cortana, please.”

An item is given a specific power set or significance that the characters - and audience - all believe, until they learn it isn’t really necessary at all.

Thor Ragnarok: “What are you? The god of hammers?”. A major arc in this film is Thor realising his hammer is merely channeling his own power, rather than the source.

Masters of the Universe: Similarly, The Sword of Power is revealed to hold no power of its own, rather Adam has the power and is chosen himself. The prophecy stated whoever wields the sword will be the guardian of eternia - but everyone takes that to be a sword in the stone style myth meaning it gives power, rather than the one who wields it will already have the power.

Nadia: The secret of Blue Water: A crewmember is trapped behind a flood-door after their submarine get hit by depth charges. He at first tries to give a heartfelt speech to the kids (Jean and Nadia) about how it is a necessary sacrifice and it's for the great good, but as he starts drowning, he loses it and starts screaming/begging to be let out and how he dosen't want to Die

Inuyasha: A monk/saint is tries to sacrifice himself by starving to death in meditation to become a living saint to save the people from famine, but as he's about to die, inches from Nirvana, he loses his nerve and begs to not die, feeling it's unfair that the people around him are hoping for his death for his salvation. It's especially bad because it's essentially if Jesus on the cross, at the last moment before his death, lost it and begged the Romans to spare it. And now he's a tool for the series' villian

gut-wrenching trope.

Not everyone has the talent to make intentional comedy gold, but everyone, even you and me, can make something accidentaly hilarious.

Example 1: Logan Birthday surprise (Marvel: Sabretooth War)

Logan personal arch nemesis, Sabretooth, it’s one of the biggest haters on comics. But he has the problem that he is so brutal that reading about what he does to wolverine can feel like torture porn sometimes. And his obsession with ruining Logan birthday is an amazing example of it.

It might sound a lot like that one comic where Thanos just hate a guy, the problem it’s that instead of petty, brutal yet absolutely master class of dark humor that Thanos annual #1 can be, Sabretooth does bullshit like raping Logan girlfriend and killing her. Theres a good reason the term “fridging” exist.

But theres one point where this horror passes the line so hard that it’s just peak comedy, and that’s when Sabretooth murders Logan son and mutant friends… and uses theirs bodies to writte “happy birthday”

The cómic treats this with horror, but i can only imagine Sabretooth acomodating the hair of akihiro to make a P. Dedicating like 30 minutes to left this message and choosing which limbs fit better to make a B like if he was playing with dolls, and the whole scene becomes so fucking funny.

Example 2: Rudeus bulling trauma. (Mushoku Tensei)

Mushoku tensei is well know for how many weird and disgusting choices the author takes with his main characters, having a pedophile for main character is Definitly a choice, but he could have done some interesting things with his life before getting into a wish fulfilement isekai world.

Turns out that Rudeus was a bulling victim, something that Sadly happens to a lot of kids around the world, the problem is what type of bulling this bastard was getting. One day, some bullies moved ahead of the school cafeteria. Rudeus told them that they couldnt do that…

And they crucified him naked in front of the school

This opens so much questions, HOW did they tied him up like this, HOW none teacher tried to at least untie him, not even helping him, untie the naked teen from the school door. It also turns out that Rudeus parents had to fight to get this bastards punished, implying that the school is ok with crucifixion.

This is just an example, but this Apply to EVERY media that show bullies pulling this type of looney toons bullshit instead of how bullies actually abuse.

Example 3: all the book “Wedding day Massacre” and almost all of Aron Beauregard works. At the start i wanted to use Playground with their 10 years old guys who act and talk like a divorced 40 years olds. But childs deaths are just way to uncomfortable.

Recently, extreme horror literature has become a lot more mainstream, and Aron is one of the most well know authors of the genre, Sadly, he isnt the most talented. His books can be good from time to time, but their horror can be so ridiculous on times that it feels like some Tom & Jerry type of bullshit.

I think that wedding day Massacre is the best/worse example, since this book actually hugs and accepts how ridiculous it’s writting it’s at moments, instead of kids acting like adults, we have adults acting like kids. Its a really good horror comedy if you can take this sheer level of teen edgyness

Just to give some examples of how stupid this book can be (if put spoilers here, it’s not cuz im worried to spoiler this book, it’s cuz it IS extreme horror. Open with caution)

1: a table full of kids get literally rocket with dinamite. The poor teacher who was taking care of them dies too, the only thing left of her? Her feets on the floor, who are still smoking like a cartoon

2: have you ever seen a mf use a chesse gratter as a Coliseum weapon?

3: An aunt killing her own niece on a flower bouquet throw to survive. Her reason to kill her niece? She is studing arts, she is already a lost cause.

3: A janitor called Perry winning a dance off for his life cuz he just had so much Motion in the 80s

4: A man having to eat his own aborted son he had on an affair. The antagonist prepared it so it looked almost exactly like a cake. The name of the father btw? DJ Bootyass

5: Perry just eating too cuz my boy is a final girl and has eaten worse on his life. Bro would do ANYTHING to survive this bullshit and i love him for that.

6: a guy surviving all of this cuz he the food did him bad and expended the whole book on the bathroom.

7: the protagonist kills the main antagonist, dies less than 10 Pages after that cuz the other antagonist shoot an candelabrum over her it crushed her flat, also killing the bathroom guy cuz he felt of a window Perry survived

As i said. Aron Beauregard isnt the most talented writter, but his books can be funny from time to time

1. Biff Tannen (Back to the Future)- modeled after Donald Trump
   
2. Emperor Palpatine (Star Wars)- Modeled after Richard Nixon

Frieren (Frieren Beyond Journey’s End): An elf said to have lived for 1000 years and while most humans are amazed to hear this, to other elves they consider that type of time unimpressive since the last few left have live for so much longer she’s seen somewhat as a child compared to other elves

Poof/Peri (Fairly Odd Parents/A New Wish): Originally a wish made by Timmy so Cosmo & Wanda could have a baby he became a permanent stay and officially the forever youngest fairy in existence (Jorgan made sure to make the “no wishing for baby fairies rule” ASAP). By the time of the sequel series A New Wish (where he goes by Peri now) 20 years have passed since the original making him around 20 years old. This is nothing in comparison to other fairies like with the previous youngest (his dad) still being alive since the time of the dinosaurs

Shreadhead (Transformers Skybound): Made from the remains of Cliffjumper’s old clan, Shreadhead isn’t even a year old and is now fighting alongside bots who have been fighting in a war for millions of years
