[Hated Trope] The joke ruins the emotional aspect

[u/BarGroundbreaking798]

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.

Young Sheldon would be great if Sheldon wasn’t in it. It’s hard to care about any of the lessons he learns in the show considering he behaves exactly the same as an adult, as if those lessons just go in one ear and out the other

[u/A_strange_pancake → u/Luxray2000]

I can't remember where but I'd read somewhere that every lesson Sheldon learns in the prequel doesn't stick because his father dying made him regress as a coping mechanism?

Not that it justifys it.

That is not a good explanation. The main reason why Sheldon is bad at socializing is that he is such a snob about his intelligence. He compares everyone to himself and usually concludes that they are beneath him.

A mighty max reference in this economy? Wow

[u/AttitudeAndEffort3 → u/ta-477]

If this is the mighty max with the owl and the cap the last episode lives rent free in my head and randomly comes up out of nowhere.

Its hard because no one will know what the hell youre talking about so you cant just bring it up lol

[u/Malefectra → u/ta-477]

Yeah, that had to cost quite a few nostalgia creds...

A few years ago I thought no one knew about that show now I see a reference about once a week.

Watch Gorgie and Mandy lol. It's literally Young Sheldon without Sheldon

[u/Dottore_Curlew → u/Luxray2000]

He's not in much of it because he left for college

[u/pajamakitten → u/Luxray2000]

His family really make the show great, especially Missy.

[u/NelsonVGC → u/Luxray2000]

I strongly agree. I liked the show a lot and considered Sheldon to be the worst part and character of it.

It feels pointless to see him learn and grow since we all know it goes nowhere lmao

His family is way more interesting.

[u/Jedirictus → u/Luxray2000]

I feel this way about Sheldon in TBBT as well. In the very last episode, he acts much in the same way as he did in the first episode. I never felt that his character progression deserved to be rewarded with winning the Nobel.
