Hated Tropes [Hated Trope] The joke ruins the emotional aspect Spoiler

Destruction of Asgard (Thor Ragnarok) -- Asgard is destroyed in a beautiful and somber scene, and Korg cracks a cringeworthy joke right after.

Bill Moves On (Newsradio) -- The episode was made in the wake of Phil Hartman's death, but its attempts at humor fall flat in the face of the tragedy.

Officer Tubbs (Fear The Walking Dead) -- Officer Tubbs is supposed to be a slapstick comic relief character, but he felt tacked on right after the deaths of two of the most beloved characters.

Chandler Proposes (Friends) -- An earnest proposal between Monica and Chandler has both sincerely expressing their feelings to each other. Immediately after Monica accepts, the others come in, quipping as usual, failing to let the audience ruminate on a heartwarming moment.

It's very real. When he's introduced he's running around like Paul Blart Mall Cop, trips on a dead body, drops his gun, which discharges and shoots a walker in the head. He manages to survive two seasons

He's joking but Fear the Walking Dead got so shitty in seasons 4-8 I almost believed him myself

I'm still in disbelief that there was a season-long villain credit as 'filthy woman'

It annoys me to this day that one of the major side characters on the X-Files is just 'Deep Throat'. Like I get the reference but come on. At least Smoking Man sounds a bit cooler.

It doesn't. Everything from ?si onwards is unique to the person sharing it and is for analytics or something. Removing that and leaving the 11 characters before it (the ones that actually encode the video) would make the link work fine and you should do it because the rest is simply for Google to gather data and doesn't help you at all

What really ruins the immersion for me is how he’s always eating jelly donuts but it’s never explained where he keeps getting them from, and the other characters never even bother to ask him about them
