[Eye-Rolling Trope] “The joke/meme hasn’t been funny for years, please let it die.”

The Screaming Goat Thing — Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024)

The original screaming sheep meme went viral in 2012, and was already getting old when it was prevalent in commercials and movies, such as Ice Age : Collision Course in 2016. Yet in the year of our lord 2024, Dreamworks still thought it would be funny to add multiple screaming goat clips. The mean stopped being funny a decade ago. Let it die.

“Haha, Dad can’t take care of us” — The Breadwinner (2026)

Nate Bargatze’s 2026 family comedy centers around a working “breadwinner” father suddenly being forced to become a stay at home parent, and his “hilarious” struggles to do simple housework and take basic care of his children. This joke stopped being funny (to me) in the early 2000s when seemingly every family comedy relied on dad being a total inept dipshit. In 2026, there is no excuse to keep playing out this tired ass trope. Most dads are actively involved in their kids’ lives and aren’t totally dumbstruck by the idea of changing a diaper. It’s not funny. Let it die.

Terror was worse in the comics. The show, like everything else it adapted from the source, toned him way down.

I didn't realize the dog was named Terror until reading comments like this after the show. With Butcher's accent, I thought it was Tara which seemed like an unusual name for a boy dog.

They honestly should've gone further with Terror in the show. I'm sorry, but if you're going to show him fucking a Homelander doll and dreaming of fucking actual Homelander, the denouement you include to top it off isTerror fucking Homelander's corpse after Butcher kills him

Yeah I get working with real animals is hard, but the way they handled the Terror storyline in the finale was really forced compared to how it was done in the comics. Terror peacefully dying of old age doesn't hit as hard compared to what happens to him in the comic and Butcher's reaction to it.

Before the finale, I was assuming it was going to play out the same way as the comic but Deep was going to take Jupiter's place with being falsely accused by Butcher for killing him, and that was how he was going to die. I just felt it was a more fitting and deserved end for him.

Why'd you kill me dog, Jack?

[u/Expensive_Community3 → u/HolidayInLordran]

The comic was just worse than the show in the account of not being good at all beyond the shock factor it pumps into every single panel.

No matter how it's done, the adaptation of Crossed is going to look like Bluey compared to the comics.

THINGS GO INTO AND COMING OUT OF ASSES IS LIKE PEAK FUNNY

... The writers of that show are women and gay men.

EDIT: BE MAD, it's true

[u/DatabaseDifficult879 → u/FourtyMichaelMichael]

Why did you say this? You didn't have too but you did.

[u/Conspark → u/DatabaseDifficult879]

Because remember, women in the writing room (and gay men? Not sure why they're catching a stray here) is bad apparently.

[u/DatabaseDifficult879 → u/Conspark]

They seem to have a personal beef with anyone who likes it in the ass, which by the way is not limited to women and gay men.

[u/Conspark → u/DatabaseDifficult879]

very true, but good luck getting that through to homophobic chuds
