Is this the real life?

Smart frogposter because that actually is an unbearable trope, way too common in lazy TV series. It's also terrible for the viewer because there is no surprise or mystery, you always know how to solve the problem - JUST FUCKING OPEN YOUR MOUTHS AND MAKE SOUNDS.

Didn't the first shrek do this

>character tries to reasonable explain
>"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!"

>character wants to say something
>gets interrupted every single time because other characters can't spend 3 seconds to judge if it might be important
>WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME
>I WAS TRYING TO

I think I was pretty clear.

Pardon?
