>mayor is constantly fucking up and never gets deposed
>or if they do get deposed the new mayor is even worse, making everyone want the old mayor back
And on a related note
>jerk stops being a jerk and everyone misses them being a jerk for some reason
Imagine a cartoon about a town that gets a new, awful mayor every episode and they have to figure how to get them out of office every week.
Like the replacements but no good ending.
>it's a girl power episode and now suddenly every male character becomes a misogynist
Great idea
Would watch/10
>main villain is an incompetent loser who cant accomplish anything while the real big bad is teased only for seconds before the season finale
It was kind of good the first time but nowadays this has been done to death
>there's a girl power episode
>The barely functional fat retard father married to sexy, sassy wife.
>being a princess is inherently bad and you gotta be a "epic badass warrior princess"to be worth a damn
>also "le epic twist princess saves knight from dragon XD"
I'd be more surprised with a simple knight fights dragon to save princess story with how done to death people try to twist it
Sounds nice.
Every time.
Every fucking time.
>the political allegory episode
>Imagine a cartoon where literally every episode is the same premise, and that premise is local poltics!
That sounds awful.
>Female character gets character development and/or redesign
>hair shortened
>Female characters are mostly or entirely immune to slapstick
>another show that has "alternate dimensions" where anything is possible
This meme needs to stop, it's just a lazy way to add new settings and characters.
>comedic show set in past
>constant anachronistic jokes
It just seems lazy
>Tease romance between 2 characters, they get on really well, seem like a perfect couple
>Nope, can't have comfy couples, every relationship must be based on conflict and angst
Any specific examples you had in mind?
>character is a musical god
>the episode doesn't have them cover any actual song, just do short original snippets
Fuck this every single time it pops up.
Futurama did parallel universes right.
It's rooted in truth though.
You could eat babies on live TV and still remain in office thanks to Gerrymandering.
>Character meets himself from different universes
>only one is a girl
>inb4 standard shitty ship pairs.
To be fair it's a loose premise, more of a formula, that allows for a variety of situations. You can pretty much do whatever the fuck you want.
I always wanted one of those to end up with the joke that "the main" version was somehow the major divergent/odd one out. Like they do the big multiversal crossover and he's the universe where he's a white guy while the rest are near identical asian women or something with minor divergences.
>Female character is about to get rekt
>Male character saves them
>I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF
>fat people are always stupid, lazy, obsessed with food, disgusting, evil, incompetent, and/or comic relief
This needs to stop, it's basically criminal to stereotype any other group of people like this and shit on them that hard, but even when 2/3 of Americans and a lot of the global population are obese, it still persists somehow.
isn't that literally the cliff face maker episode of naruto shippuden?
guy scrapped two projects because the guy in charge: died without being sworn in officially, never got to be sworn in officially because the comatose incumbent came out of her coma.
>inb4 "but it's true lol fatfag btfo"
but it's true lol fatfag btfo
the only bad thing about this trope is that is not real.
>"cartoons" are basically (poorly) illustrated radio plays that exist solely to deliver a hackneyed script
To be entirely fair, Rocky and Bullwinkle did this and was a masterpiece that can't be recreated any more.
examples?
95% of "cartoons" since the 1950s.
Any specific examples?
>Fat people aren't portrayed as constantly excercising and never eating
seriously why are we never portrayed this way? its glandular!
*ahem*
isn't he like, dead?
the only thing that needs to go away is people who use the term trope.
if we weren't allowed to laugh at fat people we'd burn them at the stake.
