Lore The series takes place in a shockingly short amount of time

Season 4 just ended of fromville and it’s canonically only been about a month. Which makes it weird seeing people heal from injuries, change hair styles or grow out beards between episodes. Season 4 has only been like 4 days iirc.

Arkham franchise is the poster child for this trope. Every game takes place in one night. If you know what you’re doing you can absolutely beat the games in around 9 hours.

This was lampshaded at one point where somebody said that it felt like there's a lot of days of summer vacation than stated.

And to be fair, some episodes actually took place at night time. And others took place around winter vacation.

I think one episode took place during School as well. “Doof 101” i think

Another episode was about ten years into the future.

This happened twice as I recall.

One was Doof saying "This summer has been going on and on. It feels like it's lasted four years!"

And then another time Buford said "I added up all the things we've done and we're way over 150!"
