...what?

I once watched this as a kid and I utterly despised everyone in it. So tomorrow I will be banned and will have all the characters make me disappear into the void. Captain Flamingo! Captain Flamingo! Captain Flamingo!

The Holocaust didn't happen they hate me because I know the truth about how the holocaust was a cover up for the rapture.


I'm sorry, what?

You're distrusted now.

 

[Linako 2.0]

You're distrusted now.

I demand that you trust me now. according to tv tropes, you must give all latin americans and braziallians what they want because if they don't. something bad will happen!
I don't even know what it is, but it WILL be bad...things.. done to people.. who are bad!

[c-no]

Me thinks the troper is a Brazilian or a Latin American user. I bet the anger said troper brought up will be nothing but tard raging on how you'd deny them something.

The "Dethroning Moment of Suck" page for advertising is a veritable autism mine, I've found....

One Cheerios commercial makes me seethe with rage whenever I see it...[insert sperging about how some kid acts

... but this one takes the cake and I have to share it with all of you.

I remember there being some sort of ad campaign for Pop Tarts that was basically a parody of Survivor. It started off pretty good and enjoyable, showing every participant slowly get picked off one by one until there was nobody left. Okay, so that's standard issue for the Pop Tarts ads at the time; Pop Tarts exist as sentient beings and meet their ends by getting eaten (and even then, the concept of that is downright terrifying). Double Berry, one of the participants who was supposedly killed off right at the beginning of the event, was revealed to have saved everyone from their fates, and giving everyone a second chance at hope. Alright, awesome! So then, it boiled down to a vote to choose which boat the group would use to get off the island (which Wildberry's motorboat won in what I can assume was a landslide vote for the possible practicality of it), and managed to get off the island. Sounds good, right? Well, everything reaches a bullshit climax. The boat breaks down out in the middle of the ocean despite the fact that it seemed like a good idea, and it looks like they're stranded again. A cruise ship shows up, and it looks like all's well that ends well, right? Nope! Sorry, everyone gets eaten by the patrons on board, making several weeks and months of waiting and anticipation completely and utterly fucking pointless. They only did that because Status Quo Is God and the humans are always gonna eat them no matter whether we had any bearings on their fates or not. Fuck you guys, too!This story had such good potential and could have ended happily, but chances are they planned it all in advance anyways and it left a bitter taste in my mouth. It didn't make me want to eat Pop Tarts, but it sure as hell made me want to massacre all of those gluttonous bastards [], all in the name of those Pop Tarts they unceremoniously chowed down on when things looked their best.

I forgot all about the advertising page. Now I remember why.

Mystic Eclectic: From a Kia Cars Commercial: a father rushes home, with the journey ending with him placing a goldfish in an empty bowl a split second before his young daughter enters and greets her pet, with silent commendation from his wife. DeliberatelyBlunt, lyricised rendition of the William Tell Overture aside, this commercial reads to this troper as: "Have you purchased our shiny, reliable new car? Congratulations! Pets are disposable again, all the while replaceable with your children being none the wiser!" Black comedy parenting dressed in classical oeuvre at its most skewed.

• Time Traveler Jessica: Plus this fish is going to die too - there's a reason you're supposed to put the bag in the bowl for a while. The water has to be the same temperature or the poor fish will die of shock.
• fluffything: Even if the gesture of the husband replacing the goldfish were merely an act of genuine concern of not wanting his daughter heartbroken, the way he went about doing it is one of the worst ways possible. Fish are very delicate creatures and must be transported carefully. Even if the car is safe for humans, zooming around at high speeds is going to be extremely stressful for the fish. Not to mention that the fish was kept in only a plastic bag and secured in a seat belt, which should've ruptured giving how the guy was driving and how the bag was moving back and forth so violently. I guess the proper transportation of pet fish isn't a concern for the commercial makers at Kia. Hope that little girl in that ad enjoys her new dead goldfish.

: In June 2014, a Verizon ad was posted on blip.tv promoting the "Inspire Her Mind" campaign, further promoting women having careers in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (abbreviated STEM). It's a solid campaign with good examples to further its aims, but the commercial is quite suspect. In Time-Lapse, a girl named Sam is told time and again by her parents not to do certain things, such as "don't get your dress dirty," while rock climbing, "don't mess with that" when picking up a starfish on a beach, or even telling her a project is becoming too much to handle, said project being an impressive Solar System Mobile in her bedroom. The most egregious example comes in the form of this remark: "why don't you hand [the drill] to your brother" in the midst of building a model rocket. With all this together, the message can be misread as an attack against parents as promoting inadvertently androgynous ideals, limiting the feminine opportunity to just one that's saccharine and confining to certain archetypes, as well as their insecurities. Before it's over, this can be seen as less girl-power oriented and more of a cry of "don't let your stubborn, obsolete family get in the way of your ambitions." A silver lining arrives at the end, where Sam notices a Science Fair poster in school and a narrator says that "it's time to tell her she's brilliant." Consider the commercial's structure: this young woman has had at least 15 years of this overshadowing, as well as the divine patience to deal with it, only to still be isolated to showing brilliance when the family is out of sight. Even for how inadvertently it's been delivered, the commercial's unintentional attack seems just as prominent when taking all of these happenings into account. In short, the campaign has great points and makes for another great display of Equality in Occupation [1], but this commercial only takes into account the Fridge Horror of how any child's insecurities can be formed, especially in regards to the female psyche, in addition to the imposed superiority of parental ambitions and the inferiority complex in general.

I don't understand the point of this entry

Saiyan Warrior 006: The new M&Ms mascot Brown (is that her name?) Apparently they wanted a new female lead in place of Green. But they failed spectacularly as Brown is pretty much a smug know it all bitch who acts like she's better than everyone. The latest commercial featuring her has her trick Red into getting into a girl who loves chocolate and it's implied at the end she's going to eat him and Brown has a smile on her face when she sends him off. Honestly can't we just have Red and Yellow, or bring back Blue instead of this broad?

• Lawand Disorder: Just M&Ms commercials in general these days bug me. You're talking about cartoon characters, whose main appeal has historically been (and continues to be) very young children, and pretty well all the commercials now have a heavy focus on their sex lives. Not in the 'nod to the parents' sort of way cartoons use so families will watch shows together, but in a way that seems to say the executives didn't consider children might watch at all.
• The Snow Squirrel: Your post inspired me to bring something up, check this out:[2] Mars claims they try not to market to kids! Um...what? I figure the company's trying to discourage little kids' exposure to junk food, but then why on earth do you keep putting characters from the latest Pixar films on the wrappers, still have ads for all your other candy littering Nickelodeon commercial breaks, or still market those candy tubes with the cute little figurine on top every burger-flippin' holiday, which are meant specifically as gifts for small children? It's my personal DMoS simply because this strategy makes no sense at all. Mars M&Ms: now in Broken Aesop flavor.

• Samuel: This ad for the video game Blur. It is a Shallow Parody of the Mario Kartfranchise. The Tastes Like Diabetes imagery is an exaggeration and unlike the break-neck speeds from Mario Kart the karts shown in the parody are driven at a sluggish pace. This ad finishes with the pink monster saying "Racing's not about winning, it's about making friends," followed by a punch in the stomach by a Toad Expy. The message the advertisers were trying to send is condescending and the ad itself looked like a huge middle finger to Nintendo.

Yuki-Akuma: I just recently saw an Australian advertisement online for staying in school and just had to add it here. It starts off well, with a group of teenagers ditching their school uniforms and driving in a van to a beach where they have the time of their lives, playing in the water, laughing, kissing, all that stuff, and then... a girl blows up. Then, all the other teenagers start blowing up, until one last girl is left and screams before she too is blown up offscreen. What. The. Fuck. This ad rubbed me the wrong way because of how mean-spirited it is in delivering the messageof not skipping school. Not just that, but it's not even the slightest bit comical, it's horrific and disturbing as all hell. The ad would count as Dude, Not Funny! but I don't think it was meant to be funny at all. If anything this ad makes me want to leave school and never come back.

• Bengson26: My issue is how intelligent they're making the teens look. The reason why they were blowing up is because they were in a fucking explosives testing site. This would have been fine if weren't for the fact that were shown crossing a fence to the site. In other words, these kids aren't rock stupid, they're dark matter stupid
• Ax Machina: Also, who is guarding the site? You'd think that in an explosives testing site, they'd throw some guards in the beach to stop the above issue. But nope, Fridge Logic is thrown out the window so that the advertisers can put in some morals that don't have anything to do with what happens in the actual PSA.

I tried to just find the best ones but there was just so much autism

EDIT: especially special entries

• This one time, I was trying to download a PDF of a Dungeons & Dragons sourcebook. It failed. Then I tried to download it from a different site, and it succeeded. The sourcebook didn't have anything for sorcerers. I didn't read it again, until I read it a few months later. It still didn't. Then I closed the file, and looked at weird pornography. I was already desensitized.

• Went to TV Tropes after hearing about how addicting it is and about all the things it can do for your life. It's articulate, but rather bland and everything seems the same. I haven't been back since. I think.

Trope-spergs are either aroused, scared or enraged by any given thing they see, so stuff that doesn't elicit such emotions might actually be rare and notable.

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

I honestly don't know what's more annoying, the Family Guy spergs or the spergs who like bashing them at every waking moment

 

[Floating Scotsman]

Found this on the Crowning Moment of Indifference page:

After seeing so much gushing and controversy surrounding it, I finally sat down and watched My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Outside of the gorgeous animation, it was simply okay. Not as good as the fans made it out to be, not as bad as the haters made it out to be. Just... okay.

Am I missing something in regards to MLP's animation? Even this person, who simply thought the show was "okay", thought the animation was gorgeous. Is it really? I'm sure I've seen plenty of Flash cartoons with more appealing animation.

No not really. the Animation is meh at best and error-prone at worst.

I've seen Flash used much better in other shows. Though that isn't saying much considering how most things (shows or web animations) done up in Flash tend to look like crap to begin with.

I kind of think that most Tropers who sperg about the "gorgeous animation" have never actually seen anything well-animated.

Same. I'm almost half tempted to show them this site. But I'm afraid they may bitch and moan about it.

You think that's well animated?! Feh! Everybody knows that My Little Pony is the most gorgeously animated series that ever was! Fantasia, The Last Unicorn, the works of Chuck Jones and Tex Avery - all shit in comparison!

(The sad thing is, there are a few tropers who would genuinely say that. I joke not...)

You're expecting someone who contributes to these tropes to know what good animation looks like

But of course. Bronies/Tropers are all about being single-minded individuals with no other interests. Fuck, I doubt half of them even do anything beyond be Bronies and breathe.

the works of Chuck Jones and Tex Avery

Well of course it's better than those! Those things are ugly and off-model all the time! And what's the deal with wild takes anyway?

I hear they know a secret technique on how to survive without shitting and eating so you can watch more MLP.

Well of course it's better than those! Those things are ugly and off-model all the time! And what's the deal with wild takes anyway?

And this, unfortunately, isn't too far off from the truth. There are a few tropers who love the classics, but they don't speak up in the forums much.
