History DethroningMoment / WESTERNANIMATION

* Tropers/{{Busterman}}: ''Futurama'''s episode entitled "Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences" had two big moments here. First was the Comic-Con bit, which essentially was a big ego massage, the Bender costume contest spot being especially grating. I can't speak for everyone, I know, but when it comes to fictional characters I'd want to nail, animated ones rank way down with ones who appear in live-action being at the top. Due to this, the "Every nerd's fantasy" felt like a giant insult/ego trip. The second was the ending, where it was clear that the gun was the teleporter ray, but it was still heavily drawn out with false tension. Even if the viewer didn't catch it, why the heck didn't Fransworth just point out it was the gun HE invented?

* Tropers/{{Manwiththeplan}}: [[spoiler: Cedric]] being the final villain of the second/final season of {{WITCH}}. GregWeisman, I love you, but just because you ''can'' pull off a twist doesn't always mean you ''should'', especially when it means sacrificing satisfying end battles with two menacing, well-developed villains for a final battle against a horendously unimpressive, underdeveloped one.

* Tropers/GreatPikminFan: Lindsay's elimination on ''TotalDramaIsland''. While it might not be as anticlimatic as her's in the second season or as hypocritical as Ezekiel's in the first season (about half the cast is hinted at having sexist believes themselfs), it still qualifies as one of my least favorite. Why? The "rules" to the challenge. So for those that don't know, the remaining campers have to build their own bikes for racing, but then it is revealed that they have to ride someone else's bike. '''Fair enough'''. If someone wipes out, the maker of the bike cannot move to the next race: a sudden death challenge where the person who gets last place is eliminated. Since they are riding each other's bike, this makes sense since whoever's bike you bring to the finish has to go to the elimination race and not you (dispite not being that fair but hey, the game has done several things not fair). '''However''', if you wipe out on the elimination race, you are safe (although Chris does not say that untill the race was over). This leads to Lindsay being eliminated by crossing ''second'' out of four and two other players losing the race due to the course hazards. Because of this, that basically means that you '''shouldn't''' aim for the goal (although you get seemingly pointless invincibility). [[FlatWhat Wh]][[ViolationOfCommonSense at]]. Also, [=LeShawna=] and Izzy are completely safe despite [[ItMakesSenseInContext not even being in the challenge at all.]] [[hottip:* :By the way, I don't even ''like'' Lindsay in the first place. And I wound't want [=LeShawna=] or [[PerverseSexualLust especially]] Izzy to be eliminated for not being in the challenge, but still.]]

** Tropers/MichaelJJ: ''Just the Two of Us.'' It is the point where the show pretty much said "We're no longer going to care if these characters are likeable in favor of {{Flanderization}} and CharacterDerailment. Timmy casually wishing everyone out of the universe was about as {{Jerkass}} as he got, and Cosmo's jarring switch from being clingy with Wanda to wanting to avoid her was just too painful to watch. Add to that the fact that FridgeLogic tells you the wish should have been impossible to grant, and you have got, without a doubt, the absolute low point of the series.

* Do not remove an entry from the page (unless the event in question is blatantly untrue) nor create a JustifyingEdit to defend a moment - it goes without saying YourMileageMayVary.
* Try and make entries actual [=DMOSs=], not just a protracted whinge about how bad a show has become. Deconstructions of tasteless jokes don't really count.

* You're only allowed to list one moment per show, so choose which was the worst, or don't list anything at all.

* ''Transformers'' death of basically the entire cast to make way for a new set of toys is often seen as a dethroning moment. Mostly because killing the old characters was unnecessary and illogical (since in the preceding series all of the characters suffered more severe injuries and survived, but in the movie they drop like flies). The fact that the new characters are pretty much universally lame adds insult to injury, and the whole mess just traumatized a generation of children.
** To put it in modern perspective, imagine going to watch "The Simpsons Movie" and seeing all of the Simpsons die in the first half hour so the remainder of the movie could star Ned Flanders.
* The ''{{Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends}}'' episode 'A Firestar Is Born'. Not just a DMOS for this show, but for the character Wolverine and the {{X-Men}} in general when, after being throws to the side by Juggernaut, ''Wolverine gets his claws stuck in a simple brick wall. [[{{Narm}} I-I'm stuck!]]
* ThePowerpuffGirls beating up Rainbow the Clown and throwing him in prison was their DMOS. It was just utterly sickening that the girls would do an act like that.
** The DMOS for this troper was the horrifically pointless death of Bunny, the deformed and mentally challenged "sister" they made for kicks. It would have to fly five miles straight up to reach DownerEnding status. Way to pump that NightmareFuel to all the kiddies at home!
** Probably the worst episode, however, is ''Neighbor Hood''. Basically, a somewhat harmless kids show starts asking its young viewers to send them money. Petty, but nothing illegal so far... until Bubbles watches it and actually ''[[WallBanger robs the mayor's bank to steal all the town's money]]''. No hypnotizing was involved, a children's tv personality only had to ask Bubbles to commit a crime that ''she beats people up for doing regularly''. Oh, and not only is she never held responsible for this, but her sisters decide that the people involved in the show are evil criminals because they had the nerve to... ask for money in a kid's show. They're right- the show was being taped, after all, in an actual prison, but that just raises the question: why didn't this clue Bubbles in as she was handing them the money? Needless to say, [[UnderStatement this was not a very good Bubbles episode]].
*** And, it's based on a [[http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/soupy1.asp real-life event.]] Parents were angry about it, but no one was arrested for it. In both cases, it was just the kids' show's hosts being assholes. Uh, note to the writers of PPG, being a selfish jerk is rude, but it's not a crime.
*** Bubbles is a KarmaHoudini. ''All'' the girls have their low points of acting as a villain, Blossom in ''A Very Special Blossom'' and Buttercup in ''Moral Decay'', but they get punished for them. Bubbles gets of scott-free in ''Bubblevicious'' and ''Neighbour Hood'' both.
** What about the episode where Mojo Jojo makes the girls giant, and the citizens of Townsville berate them for their clumsiness? That's a WhatTheHellTownspeople moment there.
* In ''TeenTitans'' "Titans In Tokyo", the Titans have their DMOS once they arrive in Tokyo. To start with, Robin, protege of {{Batman}} and supposed great detective, uses ''Fodor's'' to try and find criminals. Also, they get all the way to Japan before realizing ''none of them speak Japanese'' (Starfire has a way around this, but still). Then in the ensuing fight, half the team takes themselves out in various ridiculous ways and Raven just keeps throwing ''people's cars'' at the monster, even after she realizes it's useless. GG titans. -Tropers/{{Haven}}
** Also, when Robin takes down the {{Ultraman}} {{expy}}, he then starts pounding it brutally to finish it off. Not only was this unnecessary, not only did it landed Robin and his team mates in hot water, but it becomes worse when you realize he was taught by Batman, who has a VERY strict "No Kill" policy (sure he beats the crap out of a bad guy but when they're down he's done with then he doesn't just keep pounding away). Way to go Robin.
** And then there's the opening sequence, in which the Titans fight off an intruder in the tower, subdue him and call the police to ...no wait, I mean tie him up and throw him into the basement so Robin can pretend to [[TwentyFour Jack Baeur]]. Huh? Since when have they ''ever'' operated like that? Yeah, yeah, Batman's a dark vigilante hero, but even Batman doesn't hold criminals captive in the Batcave until they talk! Besides, regardless of origins, the ''Teen Titans'' cartoon is a whole universe away from the sort of behavior. It came out of nowhere and made Robin look like a psycho, especially when the police get involved shortly after that (and rightly calls Robin out, which, even though the character was supposed to be a JerkAss, came off more as TheStrawmanStrikesBack). Ten minutes into the movie, and that whole setup of Robin going all Gitmo with a suspect had already ruined it for me.
** Batman has taken many people to interogate them in the Batcave. He knows several methods of torture, and has beaten people to a bloddy mess for answers. As for Batman not taking things too far, once he truly tried to BEAT THE JOKER TO DEATH. WITH HIS FISTS.
*** What makes this even worse is the infuriating {{Aesop Amnesia}} that got dumped on Robin. You know, one of the coolest and more subtle moments of Season 3 and 4 was Robin growing out of his {{Jerkass}} characterization after nearly losing his life and friends in 'Haunted' and becoming someone genuinely more caring (if still a [[{{Unfunny}} hardass]]), which was emphasized in episodes like The Quest, Titans East, and the entire Raven arc. Some of the best writing in television. Then it gets completely undone in this movie. Fuck you, straight-to-DVD movie.
** One for Raven, through the entire movie she makes fun of Beast Boy. Belittling him and insulting him (even when he's RIGHT about something.) She never gets her comeuppance. One gets the impression that the writers went overboard trying to sink [[RelationshipWritingFumble Beast Boy/Raven.]]
*** Of course, if they were trying to sink [[BelligerentSexualTension ships]] [[SlapSlapKiss like]] [[TheMasochismTango this one]], they didn't know what they were doing.
** In the show itself, there's the series finale. After spending years waiting to figure out what happened to Terra, we get an answer... In the form of her completely forgetting who she is. While Beast Boy is (futilely) trying to return her to her old self, the Titans are fighting a seemingly unbeatable opponent. As Beast Boy says his final goodbye to Terra, he leaves her school and... Cue Credits. That's it. After watching this episode, I almost felt betrayed. The episode itself wasn't terrible, but the fact that it got ScrewedOverByTheNetwork and forced this episode to become the finale really, really sucked. Which also brings up the point that they had originally wanted to do this episode in Season 3. If they had done that instead, then perhaps they could've given Terra back her memories or something, and the show would've ended on a triumphant note with the Brotherhood defeated.
** In the season 4 episode "Troq," the team pledges to help an intergalactic soldier with his "final solution" to an alien menace. En route, however, the team learns the likable soldier is also a racist prone to speaking and acting on his prejudices. Despite this, the team helps to commit genocide, parting with the BrokenAesop that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, as long as it's human-shaped and speaks English.
* The ''FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' episode "I Only Have Surprise for You" was one big DMOS for the entire Fosters' residence. [[spoiler: They basically brutally humiliate Mac in an extremely cruel fashion, even though they are susposed to be his ''friends'' who actually care about him. Some friends huh?]]
** For me, it was the episode "The Big Cheese". The scene that kicked me in the teeth was when the tv crew comes to film Fosters, only to find it is a wreck (thanks to everyone joining in with Cheese's dancing), proceed to give Fosters negative publicity, cause Eduardo to burst into tears because they won't stop filming him without his shorts on, and Cheese hogging up all the limelight ''including'' the closing credits reel. It did not help that Bloo acted like a complete jerk without motivation, as opposed to earlier seasons (such as the one where he treats the puppies badly after they divert attention away from him and his "time machine"). Yes I know there's no excuse for bad behaviour but at least Bloo had motivations.(Tropers/{{Triassicranger}}).
** The episode "Fosters goes to Europe" makes me uncomfortable to this day. Mac spends the entire time trying to get the whole group together for the plane trip, yet everyone spends the entire episode goofing around. Eventually they end up not going and blame everything on Mac yet again. Between the bitter ending and almost nothing at all happening for the whole episode it's just bad filler, especially at a time when the episodes were getting real good.
** Okay then, I guess on behalf of everyone on the Fosters fansite [[http://www.fosters-home.com/ Never Forgotten]], I have to add the end of "The Little Peas" as the most widely recognized DethroningMomentOfSuck for the show. Not only is it a retelling of the aforementioned episode "The Big Cheese" (which is not well liked either), but focuses on an OC and has little to do with the main cast at all (NO, I am not writing about a fanfic). The real kicker is the end, where it turns out the ONE good thing Frankie managed to do in The Big Cheese (where she was pretty much tortured the whole way through) turns out to be the idea of the OC's, not hers. Not only was it a tremendously poor episode (by the show's standards, at least) but it actually makes PREVIOUS EPISODES WORSE FOR HAVING EXISTED. Now THAT is a DethroningMomentOfSuck accomplishment. (Tropers/{{Ub3rD4n}})
* In ''{{Recess}}'', the episode where Randall Weems makes a HeelFaceTurn but when he feels odd about it, T.J encourages him to go back into being a dependent friendless jerk and succeeds. And this was presented as a ''good thing'' and making T.J appear ''wise''. FacePalm.
* ''{{Futurama}}'' has the episode "The Cryonic Woman," in which we're introduced to Fry's ex-girlfriend Michelle, who he stumbles upon while working at the cryogenics lab that he froze himself in 1000 years ago. Michelle rapidly turns into TheScrappy with her fear of everything in the year 3000. Fuck. Piss. Oh my God.
** Especially strange due to how it portrays L.A. Other episodes show it consistently to be just like the real L.A. but all futuristic. But for that episode only it's apparently a desert wasteland, or at least has one nearby that's never seen otherwise. What?
** For me, it was unfreezing Pauly Shore over ''Weird Al''.
** For This Troper, it was the end of recent episode where Amy and Bender fall in love and try (and succeed) to make "Robosexual" (IE: [[CargoShip Robot/Human]])) marriage legal. While most of the episode in and of itself was quite good, the DMOS comes at the end with the most blatant example of StatusQuoIsGod and/or AssPull ever used on the series. Long story short, Bender breaks up with Amy just because he doesn't want to be in a monagomous relationship ([[SarcasmMode Ya know, because there aren't married people who are ok with their spouses having sex with other people.]]). What could've been a great sub-plot for the series (IE: Bender and Amy's trials and victories regarding their "Robosexual" relationship) is simply tossed aside so that we can continue on with the Kiff/Amy relationship.
*** Not to mention that the ending makes the ''entire'' plot of the episode seem utterly pointless. Hey, writers of Futurama, you can't just cause a new and interesting development in a character, have them win a major struggle regarding said development, and then just [[StatusQuoIsGod change everything back to normal]] [[AssPull for no well-explained reason]] whatsoever. Shows with continuity and CharacterDevelopment don't work that way.
*** Also, using robot-human relationships as a stand-in for homosexuality does NOT WORK because the show already established that robot-human relationships are indeed BAD way back in the Lucy Liu episode. DON'T DATE ROBOTS, remember?!
** "Attack of the Killer App". In its entirety. This episode threw away all of the intelligence and subtlety that made the series so great to begin with, and replaced it with idiotic pop culture references that seem to shout, "It's funny 'cuz it sounds like 'iPhone'! GET IT?!?!?" And just when you become convinced the writers couldn't possibly stoop any lower, we get a sub-plot about Leela having a singing boil on her butt named Susan (It's funny 'cuz it sounds like "Susan Boyle"! GET IT?!?!?) Not only is this stupid, not only does it make no sense in or out of context, not only does it require the audience to believe that Fry never noticed this in the past ten years despite seeing Leela naked on several occasions (and that it, you know, sings in a loud and obnoxious voice); the most infuriating thing is that this is a shameless pop culture reference that was ''already outdated by the time the episode aired''.
*** Well, don't forget that Leela is a mutant. Judging by things we've seen on other mutants, [[ItMakesSenseInContext this is a good enough explanation.]] Plus, she states that she usually gets rid of the boil but it always comes back. Maybe she's just done a really good job of keeping it secret. However, I do agree that "Killer App" was the worst episode in the entire series. However, the ending was a CrowningMomentOfFunny for me, since it was ''one'' pop culture joke that didn't feel outdated and was true...
** "In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela." Leela is [[RapeAsComedy forced to have sex]] with Zapp, a man she hates, at gunpoint. In front of Fry, who is interested in pursuing a relationship with her. And that's how the episode ends. [[DudeNotFunny What the hell?]] (This is simply the closing of an episode that doesn't even try for any sort of subtlety among the myriad "lol orgies" jokes.)
** Now, I don't really support the DarthWiki that much, or even believe in it. However, my own personal DMOS in ''Futurama'', which in my opinion is a very funny and clever show (yes, that includes the episodes that have been listed here so far), comes in the form of the episode "The Duh-Vinci Code". What makes it so DMOS-worthy? While having the mandatory funny parts all Futurama episodes have, I personally think that everyone on the planet Vinci making fun of Da Vinci and Farnsworth was rather cruel and harsh. Not to mention that the revenge Da Vinci would've accomplished against them never came, and he ended up dying instead. Even though I plan on watching this episode again, I think that Da Vinci deserved a lot better... and those Jerkass inhabitants of Vinci deserved a lot worse.
* The quote of Scrappy Doo was pretty much the Defining Moment of Suck of every fan of ''ScoobyDoo'' and sealed the deal for any future CuteKidsAndRobots, nothing like having [[TheScrappy a trope dedicated to hating this puppy to know how bad it is]].
** While we're on the subject of Scooby Doo, the twist ending to ''Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost'' is listed as a SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfAwesome, but really belongs here. Ben Ravencroft's ancestor was painted as an innocent old woman who was murdered due to hysteria and ignorance, like all the other victims of the Salem Witch Trials. This ending was akin to "Well, there was this ''one'' Jew killed in the Holocaust who actually did drink the blood of Christian babies...."
*** The instant "Wiccan" is described as being both a ''race'' and the ''good counterpart to witches'', the movie loses any and all reason for existing it might have had. [[ManCalledTrue This troper's]] Wiccan friend has admitted to [[WallBanger beating her head against the wall]] on hearing that one.
*** Plus even though the eponymous Witch turned out to be evil, one of the spells she cast was the ultimate {{Narm}}. One of the spells she casts creates a giant turkey monster. Yeah, you read that right. [[NightmareRetardant A giant turkey monster]]. Boy, I hate to imagine how much she got picked on at [[WinxClub Cloud Tower]].
** The {{Irony}} was that the line was coined by FrankWelker. But that was when the character was meant to actually ''do something'' on the show. Then TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong reared its head, and Scrappy turned into TheLoad, but didn't realize it, making everytime he said that line just horrible.
* ''TheFairlyOddparents'' episode ''Just the Two of Us.'' It is the absolute epitome of the show's mass {{Flanderization}} and CharacterDerailment that has plagued the show in recent years. Trixie's insane behavior is a far cry from the wonderful character development she got in "The Boy Who Would be Queen," Timmy casually wishing everyone out of the universe was about as {{Jerkass}} as he got, and Cosmo's jarring switch from being clingy with Wanda to wanting to avoid her was just too painful to watch. Add to that the fact that FridgeLogic tells you the wish should have been impossible to grant, and you have got, without a doubt, the absolute low point of the series.
** Oh, there's a lower moment. ''It's a Wishful Life''. It consists of a plot full of ContrivedCoincidence towards an inverse DeusAngstMachina to show how everyone would have been better off if Timmy never existed, which, by extension, since Timmy is an audience proxy, basically encourages children's insecurities about how their parents would be better off without them. [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop Yeah, that's a great message to send to kids, isn't it?]] This takes ThisLoserIsYou to a ridiculous extreme, but really, the person that penned this story is the one that really sucks. ~DarthWiki/{{Cliche}}
** The episode were Timmy wished his dad was smarter. Apperantly, smart people don't have emotions. In fact, emotions make them explode because they can't even grasp the concept.
** The episode in which Trixie Tang throws a costume party. Why? Because Crocker is thrown what maybe the most [[WallBanger wall-banger inducing]] IdiotBall in the series. Long story short, Crocker (in a fairy costume, no surprise there) criticizes Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof ([[ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself dressed as themselves]]) on their so-called "fairy costumes". Uh, Crocker, shouldn't you of all people know what a fairy looks like?
*** Furthermore, why isn't it that he recognizes Poof especially. In the earlier episode ''Bad Heir Day'', Crocker had formed a close bond with Poof and is well-aware that Poof is a fairy (and is perhaps the only fairy he genuinely cares for) and that Cosmo and Wanda are Poof's parents. Psst...Earth to Crocker, [[strike:Denzel Jr.]] [[strike:DJ]], Poof is floating right in front of you.
** Another DMOS in this series is Tootie's CharacterDerailment in season seven. Seriously. In ''Light Out!'' ''she forces Timmy to kiss her or to knock him out to give him CPR!!!!'' Really Kevin Sullivan ''hates'' Tootie...
* For me, the episode of ''TheProudFamily'' with the "psycho duck" certainly qualifies. It starts out good enough with Penny rescuing a mallard duck who can't swim and having him stay at the house until he recovers. The duck keeps stealing Oscar's food, but no one but Oscar ever sees the duck doing so. This in and of itself would make for a hilarious episode....But, then the WallBanger sets in where the duck goes batshit insane for no reason whatsoever. Seriously, it's a random shift from an episode about Penny rescuing a cute yet mischievous (Towards Oscar at least) duck to an episode about the '''entire'' family (and friends) being terrified of an insane power-hungry duck. Why?
** Also, the seemingly tacked-on ending where the duck is revealed to have belonged to a billionaire and that [[LawyerFriendlyCameo Wizard Kelly]] (himself already a multi-billionaire in the series) had returned Chester (the psycho duck) to his owner and gotten the million dollar reward. The ending has no real purpose other than to serve as a YankTheDogsChain moment for Oscar. Yes, Oscar is the ButtMonkey of the series...but that was just cruel.
** The awfulness peaks with the fact that they try to get rid of the duck by ''driving it to, and releasing it in Canada.'' And then ''driving all the way back.'' You know, because it'd be too hard to just, say, ''call animal control'' and tell Penny that the duck is crazy, they're doing something about it and she should just deal with it?
* ''[[EdEddNEddy Ed Edd 'n' Eddy's]]'' "It Smells Like An Ed". Not only do all the kids grab massive Conflict Balls by ''completly ignoring'' the obvious evidence that the Eds are innocent, but they derailed Jimmy from the ButtMonkey to a petty, vengeful SmugSnake. The last one wouldn't be as bad if Jimmy had kept the spine he grew, but no, he goes right back to being the ButtMonkey after the episode. And this is coming from someone who ''genuinely likes'' the series.
** Speaking of spines, isn't anyone else bothered by the Eds' cowardice in Act 2? They could've just stood up to the kids and helped them solve the crime instead of running away like Ed's favourite animal, the chicken!
** The episode where Nazz [[strike:dates]] babysits Eddy is a DMOS. First of all, why would a 12 year-old boy like Eddy need a babysitter? (Especially considering that Eddy seems ''perfectly'' capable of taking care of himself and that he's done fine without parental/adult/babysitter supervision before.) Second, why would Nazz (a girl who's either about the same age or only a few years older) be the one to babysit him? Also, there's the fact that she doesn't even bother '''telling''' Eddy in the first place what's really going on. Oh, [[ItGotWorse but it gets better (not).]] Then, Nazz invites all of her friends over and they TRASH Eddy's house ([[SarcasmMode Great babysitting job you've done, Nazz. Trash the very house you're being paid to watch over]]).
*** Oh, and the ending where [[spoiler:Eddy gets his tongue stuck in the door to his own room and Ed (normally one of the nicest characters in the series) puts a diaper on Eddy's tongue and calls him a "baby".]] That's right, the episode ends with Eddy (who hasn't done ANYTHING wrong in the entire episode) being not only heartbroken (poor guy genuinely thought he was finally going to get the girl) and humilated in his OWN HOME all due to a big misunderstanding.
*** Also, why didn't his parents just leave him a note or something that told them that Nazz was going to visit to keep an eye on things? Just who in their right minds would leave a 12 year old and NOT let him know where they were going or if anyone was coming over to check up on things? Worst. Parenting. Ever.
** Want to see an IdiotBall? Try the episode "[[http://ed.wikia.com/wiki/Too_Smart_for_His_Own_Ed Too Smart for His Own Ed]]". Rolf, Ed, Edd and Plank are in a spelling bee, and when Plank and Rolf are eliminated, Edd loses by ''being off by one letter, which he corrects after''. Then Ed ([[SarcasmMode surprise]], the same guy who won the betting episode ["All Eds are Off!"] and the race between the Eds for a jawbreaker [The end of "Ed or Tails"]) wins, and... '''everyone'''[[hottip:* :Well, except for possibly Jonny who was too busy trying to get revenge on Nazz for "insulting" Plank; Plank himself; and the Kanker sisters, who wern't even in this episode]] '''thinks he's smart and Edd is an idiot''' (even Ed's ''own sister'' Sarah, who's lived with him forever, forces him to solve an algebra problem (that's not even her's -- it's Jimmy's) and gets mad along with the other kids when she finds out that, yes, Ed is stupid). Seriously, they think the same guy who destroyed Jonny's house by accident (long story), is smarter than the guy who could have been the one who built... 99.9% of Eddy's scams, and had a RunningGag of talking in such a complicated manner than nobody understands him. Just because Edd was off by ''one'' letter, and that was caused by stage fright. (Tropers/GreatPikminFan).
* ''AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers'' -- "Mothmoose." There's this magical creature that's supposedly responsible for bringing the harvest to Kirwin (shown in every OTHER episode of the series to be masters of agricultural genetic modification). It's a flying, speckled moose. The dumbest villain the show ever came up with steals it, threatening the harvest on that planet. (Did we mention that the species in question has been shown in every other ep to have tech capable of working around that?) [[LampshadeHanging Even Walsh seems to think the whole thing is low-priority and stupid, saying the Rangers are on other missions]]. Cue a bunch of secondary characters, including the Kiwi Kids (take Spridle from Speed Racer, multiply by three - right down to the voice) and [[TheScrappy Buzzwang]]. Mix in an absurd scene of "Kiwi Fu," and a completely bizarre ''musical number,'' and this Troper flat out asked Dan Fiorla what he was smoking when he wrote it. [[{{Ptitle1fqxgbbvavmd}} He was stone sober.]]
* Lindsay's elimination on ''TotalDramaIsland''. While it might not be as anticlimatic as her's in the second season or as hypocritical as Ezekiel's in the first season (about half the cast is hinted at having sexist believes themselfs), it still qualifies as one of my least favorite. Why? The "rules" to the challenge. So for those that don't know, the remaining campers have to build their own bikes for racing, but then it is revealed that they have to ride someone else's bike. '''Fair enough'''. If someone wipes out, the maker of the bike cannot move to the next race: a sudden death challenge where the person who gets last place is eliminated. Since they are riding each other's bike, this makes sense since whoever's bike you bring to the finish has to go to the elimination race and not you (dispite not being that fair but hey, the game has done several things not fair). '''However''', if you wipe out on the elimination race, you are safe (although Chris does not say that untill the race was over). This leads to Lindsay being eliminated by crossing ''second'' out of four and two other players losing the race due to the course hazards. Because of this, that basically means that you '''shouldn't''' aim for the goal (although you get seemingly pointless invincibility). [[FlatWhat Wh]][[ViolationOfCommonSense at]]. Also, [=LeShawna=] and Izzy are completely safe despite [[ItMakesSenseInContext not even being in the challenge at all.]] [[hottip:* :By the way, I don't even ''like'' Lindsay in the first place. And I wound't want [=LeShawna=] or [[PerverseSexualLust especially]] Izzy to be eliminated for not being in the challenge, but still.]] (@/GreatPikminFan)
** I think the finale of ''Total Drama Island'' in America and Canada is a [=DMoS=] cause they let Owen beat Gwen. And the only reason Owen won is because everyone helped him win so they have a party. And seriously Gwen was more deserving of winning; she won more challenges, went through love and loss, and took down Heather the antagonist, while Owen farted, ate, lost his pants, and got beat up a lot. I just want to say I am a fan of Owen as well, and that I'm fat and lazy like him and I am okay that Owen proved fat guys can be winners, but that would've worked better if he was competing against Heather or a ButtMonkey, but not Gwen. It's because the comedic relief who just wanted a party beat a person who went from a recluse to the most developed character on the show and wanted to used the money to help her go to college and make her mom's life easier that makes it a [=DMoS=]. And if you've seen the alternate ending you'll realize that it's better, Gwen and Owen split the money, everyone minus Heather still would've have had a wild party, and Trent encouraging Gwen to win was a much better way for the two to get hook up. This troper would also like to admit that he wrote the TDI alternate ending as one of the show's [=CMoA=].(Tropers/{{Ajustice}})
** Gwen's elimination in Total Drama Action. Thanks to Justin, she was forced to take a fall to 'make up' for Trent cheating for her on the challenges. Newsflash Gwen, you've already explained yourself, you weren't in on Trent trying to cheat on the challenges for you. Your conscience and Karma should be clear. Now just play fairly and beat the opposing team since without Trent they can't have the excuse for losing anymore.
*** We can't forget how the others treated her, Beth and Lindsay were helping Justin make sure Gwen lost on purpose, Bridgette of all people insults Gwen in the first two aftermaths calling her backstabber and a traitor, and in the second AM the audience is booing her and Geoff is trying to hurt her. No one thought or talked about how Gwen at least proved she was a woman of her word throwing the game for the Grips, that she was as much a victim of circumstance as Trent was if not more, or that Justin was responsible for things going the way they did or that he used Gwen, it seems his looks made him immune to blame. This the main reason this troper would rather have had Gwen win TDI than there being anymore seasons.
**** Well to be fair the abuse does stop after Trent lampshades that particular point (acknowledging that he wasn't exactly innocent himself.)
**** Gwen should have won. She played fairly, and worked hard. Owen, while I love the guy, mostly got by via pure dumb luck instead of skill. With Gwen winning, she'd have used the money responsibly, help her mom, and get into a good school. Those that sabotaged her...dear god, you are selfish ''assholes'' since all you wanted was a party. Everyone who sided with Owen on the show was a bastard who didn't care that Gwen had a ''legitimate'' reason to ''need'' the money.
*** For that matter, the 'reunion' episode too. Kicking off Trent and the others for Noah, Ezekiel, and Cody? Seriously? And everyone ''agreeing'' for yet ''another'' season of torture...
**** Well, Trent probably needs to be away from the show for a while...besides, Noah, Ezekiel, and Cody are fan-favorites that have gotten next to no screentime, as compared to Trent, who isn't widely loved anymore.
** All of Rock'n Rule can count, due to the absolutely random bringing back of Owen, and for continuing Courtney's I-will-win-for-I-am-JerkSue streak.
*** To add to Rock'n'Rule I say TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot by not bringing back Gwen. Considering the start of Duncan and Courtney relationship tension was because Courtney thought Duncan and Gwen had something going, so it would have perfect have been to bring her back into the equation and see if there would be a resolution to Duncan and Gwen, plus it could've also given Gwen a redemption arc and give her a chance to make up for her early and unfair elimination. But instead they brought Owen back because his family blew all of their money on a cheese cellar and [[DealWithTheDevil Chris offered to give him the money to pay it off if he spied on the others.]] Personally I can't think of a good enough reason why Chris and the Producers wanted someone to spy on the contestants of their own show. Were they trying to fix the competition, or get dirt on the others that they could use against them. And if they want someone to stir up the "Doo-Doo" Gwen was obviously a better choice, too bad the writers didn't realize that.
**** Well, do you watch ''Total Drama World Tour''? It's worked...
** Speaking of ''Total Drama World Tour''...[[TheScrappy Sierra]] revealing she had been [[ManipulativeBastard manipulating Cody's emotions]] in order to get close to him at the end of the episode in Paris. Now, for the most part, the episode is decent enough. However, throughout the episode Sierra is acting all [[{{Wangst}} wangsty]] after finding out that Cody doesn't like her. And Sierra sings quite an EarWorm of a song about this as well. So, Cody pretty much works his ''ass'' off trying to cheer Sierra up until he finally snaps and admits that he finds her [[StalkerWithACrush creepy stalker behavior]] more tolerable than her constant weeping. Sounds like an attempt to develop Sierra's relationship with Cody and [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap save her from her "Scrappy" status]] right? Nope. Turns out she was "playing hard to get" so that Cody would start "liking" (or "tolerating", in this case) her. It pretty much cemented Sierra's "Scrappy" status for me right there.
*** Not to mention that, earlier, Chris yelled at ''Cody'' to make Sierra stop crying. Um, Chris, you find Sierra to be '''unbelievably annoying''' as well, remember? Or did you forget she wouldn't stop talking about your most embarrassing secrets ([[BerserkButton like being in a "boy band"]])? If anything, it just made the aforementioned reveal of Sierra playing [[ManipulativeBastard "manipulative bitch"]] to Cody all the more unbearable...and I'm not even that big of a Cody fan to begin with.
* The ''{{Ben 10}}'' skinwalker episode. Seriously. They ''[[CriticalResearchFailure loused]]'' it up worse than most skinwalker portrayals they made the Navajo ''[[CriticalResearchFailure Puebloan]]'', of course nobody pronounced "Yee Naaldlooshii" correctly, they randomly adopted The Wolfman's "infection" thing, as if that ''necessarily'' goes with changing shape (a skinwalker is a [[BlackMagic witch]], who gets his power by ''intentionally'' [[KillTheOnesYouLove going]] [[IncestIsRelative over]] [[ILoveTheDead the]] MoralEventHorizon). Then there's the fact it wasn't scary beyond all human comprehension. If you, as an adult, are not ruining undergarments at the mere ''thought'' of what you're portraying, you aren't doing a skinwalker story correctly. Remember how Ghost-Freak was too scary for kids? Skinwalkers cut off corpses' fingers, grind their fingerprints, and use the resulting "corpse-poison" to curse people to death. Because they can. A skinwalker would eat Ghost-Freak while he screamed. No, they're not age appropriate, that's why the episode never should've used them. Not even for a lame ''{{Scooby-Doo}}'' thing.
** One of the central reveals of the episode was that the wolf alien had ''nothing'' to do with the skinwalker myth. Which leads to a smaller WallBanger: shouldn't Wes have noticed the massive discrepancies? It's annoying to think that the local expert (and Plumber) was talking out of his ass the whole time.
* Speaking of ''{{Ben 10}}'', a ''Ben10AlienForce'' episode has a HUGE DMOS going against it. Long story short, the episode revolves around Ben trying to stop a war between blue aliens and red aliens...and he ends up making things worse. Oh, geez, where to start on the DMOS moments?
** How about the alien BrattyHalfPint. Good gods, was she annoying! Not only does she throw a fit just because Ben used the wrong arm to shake her hand (How was he supposed to know if no one told him in the first place?), but she then starts hating him just because he (accidentally) made things worse. Uh, kid, didn't you call Ben to help stop the two sides from fighting? He succeeded in that part, though not in the way expected.
** Not to mention the FamilyUnfriendlyAesop the episode provides to its audience-''"Hey, everybody! Don't bother trying to stop a war. You'll only make things worse! Just let both sides fight and eventually destroy one another!"''
** Oh, and let's not forget when the red and blue aliens get mad at Ben just for accidentally destroying a statue of theirs (Which was the cause of the fighting in the first place). Hey, aliens, here's an idea, why don't you just ask Ben to rebuild the statue!? It was an accident!
** Speaking of bad episodes, how about the one which was basically about "aliens on Spring Break". How bad is it? The plot centers around teen/college-age aliens that produce golden poop (no, really) whenever they eat popcorn (And turn into exploding-radioactive poop-producing monsters when they eat meat). [[SarcasmMode Yes, that's exactly what I want in an action cartoon series...an episode that's 90% poop jokes.]] Allow me to explain just how horrible the episode was: college age aliens on Space Spring Break come to Earth to eat popcorn (aka Space Booze) every X years. When one of them goes missing, his friend calls Ben and friends for help since Space Spring Break is almost over and the aliens are going to be leaving soon. It turns out the missing alien was kidnapped by the town's mayor so he could force feed the little moron popcorn to cover his inexplicable debts. When the alien doesn't shit out as much gold as the mayor had hoped, he throws in a steak for the little shit to eat so he could make more gold turds. But guess what? Turns out the species of alien the teen aliens are have interesting reactions to different food as the alien's friend explains to Ben and Co.: Feed them popcorn and they'll shit gold, but if they eat meat, they turn into giant nigh-unstoppable mutated versions of themselves who shit... uranium. Long story short, the kidnapped alien '''intentionally eats''' the meat (even knowing it will mutate him) and after the obligatory fight scene turns back to normal. '''''[[{{Wallbanger}} Then the once kidnapped alien declares that all humans are selfish jerks and says that they'll never come to this dump (Earth) again.]]''''' What a selfish little prick...
*** What, no [[BadassDecay Vilgax]] [[VillainDecay reference]] here?
*** While I like the show (Even if it's full of things I'd rather not see), the Chromastone episode, it's not the fact they ruined the impact of Tetrax's planet being destroyed, it's not the fact Chromastone was pretty much [[{{Asspull}} asspulled]] into TheMessiah, no, it's the end of the episode, where it turned out ''Vilgax caught a cold'', the pettiness of stealing also caught the eye as well, I admit, while I don't particularly like the Derailment Vilgax went through, this stands out in my eyes because: 1. Vilgax, though becoming rather unoriginal thanks to stealing alien powers, was still credible. 2. He's the BigBad of the entire series, he doesn't ''need'' to steal a weapon he doesn't need anymore. 3. ''Catching a cold'' is just humiliating! The ultimate disgrace to any TV Show villain! This is the guy who's tried to saw off a child's arm for an all powerful watch! This is the guy who would kill the main characters family if it suited his goals! This is the guy who destroyed ''Mount Rushmore's heads'' with [[{{CrowningMomentOfAwesome}} Ben's face]]! '''''WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING'''''!?!?!
**** While Ben can be an inattentive jerk, one ep involving his girlfriend was a real WallBanger -- and I like his girlfriend, generally speaking. She kept the alien who would become Ship--long term, a smart and strategic decision. Problem : She kept Ship, an alien being of unknown properties, and without telling any of the Trio. Whole eps and perhaps whole arcs have been about someone messing with alien tech and it not going well. The fact that it did in Julie's case is not the point. Had Ben been the one who kept Ship, half the episode would have involved Gwen reaming him for holding on to unknown tech and not telling them. In fact, her superior brain seems to forget operational procedure anytime Julie is involved. Is she that anxious to avoid certain feelings and get her cousin safely [[KissingCousins paired off?]]
* My DMOS for ''AmericanDad'' was in the season 3 episode "Dope & Faith". Forget about Stan and his atheist friend he's trying to convert, and let's go with Roger and Steve. Roger plans to humiliate Steve; we all know that Roger is a huge {{Jerkass}} with tendencies towards DisproportionateRetribution, but that's not the DMOS. To humiliate him, he fakes a letter saying that Steve has been admitted in [[HarryPotter Hogwarts]]. '''And Steve believes him'''. A 15 year old boy who is said to be intelligent instantly believe that magic exists, that he's a mage and that Hogwarts, a fictional place, exists. Just because somebody(Roger) sent him a letter.
*** Not to mention that it was a freaking '''crack lab''' he got sent to, where he not only helped make the stuff (thinking it was potions class) but actually brought a sack of it home as "Homework". Oblivious much?
*** I think Steve is 14 but it's still immature for his age. He pretty much already believed in magic wholeheartedly which is why Roger knew the prank would work.
** For me, it was the more episode where Roger gets mad at the Smiths for hurting his feelings at a Roast for his birthday. Why? Simple...'''[[{{Futurama}} ROASTS]] [[MemeticMutation DON'T WORK THAT WAY!]]''' A Roast is where one holds a mocking tribute to someone, and makes insulting yet good-natured jokes towards that person. It is '''not''' simply going "Person X, you're a drunken idiot" (insert canned laughter here).
*** Likewise, the [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop rather idiotic moral]]-''"It's ok for family members to blatantly insult one another because it doesn't hurt as much when a loved one is mean to you."'' [[FacePalm Hand meet forehead...]]
*** Stan was basically the spokesman for this trope (at least in my opinion) when the Smiths get to the space station. First [[FanDisservice he's wearing panties]], more importantly when Roger has Francine and Hayley in his clutches Stan heartlessly goes to the escape pod thinking only of his safety. Oh, but he did go back to change panties. This proves that Stan is as bad a husband and parent as [[FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]], when push comes to shove he only cares about saving his own sorry Ass and won't look back.
Stan did say in the beginning that the family would promise to "throw some good-nature barbs" It was Roger who insisted otherwise:
-->'''Roger:''' "Good-natured? Oh no, don't you '''dare''' go light on me! The best roasts are brutal and hilarious!"
* The episode of ''MoralOrel'' regarding maturity. Orel tries to be more mature, by emulating the behavior of the adults in town. Okay, so his intentions were noble, but the execution was appalling. Since the adults of Moralton are a combination of hypocritical, self-loathing, and miserable, this is how Orel decides to act. Cut to a montage of Orel acting the polar opposite of his wide-eyed, cheery self, including envisioning himself as a middle aged -- and then elderly -- man, walking out of a surprise birthday party thrown for him, raiding his father's liquor cabinet, and a scene in his school cafeteria where everyone is laughing and enjoying their lunch, while Orel is off by himself, being miserable, ''with the scenery around him in black and white''. All this set to the dreariest, most joy-killing song ever composed. [[AriRockefeller I]] couldn't get that piece of [[EarWorm ear sodomy]] out even after changing the channel, and had to resort to immersion in CrowningMusicOfAwesome (the ''StreetFighter IV'' soundtrack did wonders).
* ''It's Your First Kiss Charlie Brown''. Let's all say it together: LUCY COST THE TEAM THE FOOTBALL GAME, ''NOT CHARLIE BROWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!''
** Also, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT THE LITTLE RED-HAIRED GIRL LOOKS LIKE!!!!!!!
*** And...PEPPERMINT PATTY DOES NOT TAUNT CHARLIE BROWN LIKE LUCY, ET AL WOULD!!!!!!
**** Finally....DON'T USE BACKWARDS MASKING TO CENSOR THE LINES IN WHICH THE LATTER HAPPENS!!!!
* ''AquaTeenHungerForce'': Season 4's "Party All The Time", where Frylock discovers he has melanoma (cancer) on his face. His condition grows worse, until his skin is pale, his face is severely scarred and all of the fries are gone from his head, while Shake and Meatwad attempt to cheer him up with a bunch of one-note tricks (including Shake shoving his hand into a bee hive and the group organizing a surprise performance by Andrew W.K.). The episode marked a severe shift from absurdist humor to dark and depressing. Also, after the numerous times death has been played for laughs in the series ([[YouKilledKenny Carl and Shake have each died more than once over the course of the series in absurd ways]]), saddling the mentor of the group with a disease and playing it straight doesn't have the same impact. A note to the writers: cancer is not funny. ''Ever''. ({{Crazyrabbits}})
* ''{{Arthur}}'': "Buster Gets Real." The episode gives CharacterDerailment to the usually light-hearted Buster not simply by having him no longer liking ''[[ShowWithinAShow Bionic Bunny]]'', but for him now treating TV like SeriousBusiness and thus looking down on ''Bionic Bunny'' for "not being true to life" in favor of a crappy reality show (I repeat: the guy obsessed with stuff like aliens is dropping a pasttime of his because it isn't true to life.) Arthur ''tries to tell him'' that a ''fictional superhero cartoon'' is not supposed to be true to life, but by the end of the episode it's Arthur who's forced to learn AnAesop, not Buster.
** So basically, a show about {{funny animal}}s is [[BrokenAesop trying to teach kids]] not to enjoy unrealistic shows?
** "Arthur's Big Hit". [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Arthur hits D.W.]] for wrecking his model plane, even when she was told not to touch it for the entire week. [[WallBanger Unfortunately, the parents punish Arthur, all his friends tell him he's wrong, and, just because he was feeling "conflict", Binky hits him!]] Look, we get that the [[AnAesop aesop]] is supposed to be "hitting is wrong", but it falls flat whenever the viewer sides with Arthur. It wouldn't have been as bad if [[KarmaHoudini D.W.]] got punished too.
* Cleveland's {{Character Derailment}} after he got his [[TheClevelandShow spin-off series]]. The episode "Our Gang" is a great example, when the teenagers Cleveland was looking after admitted their going straight after seeing how dangerous drug dealing is he threaten them if they ever if they ever come near him or his family. And in a flashback in the same episode Cleveland thought about how he helped a homeless man when all he did was correct the spelling on his sign, and then he made fun of his body odor.
* For ''{{6teen}}'' it's Lights Out, because it meant the absolute end of Jude and Starr's relationship. First they turn Starr from a laid back, oddly creative, vegan skater girl into Goth now calling herself Nebula for no apparent reason, Jude even pointed out that she was her normal self the day before, Jude tried to adjust to this change but he kept calling her by her original name, he even went Goth himself for her but it still didn't seem to work. And even though the gang and (Starr)Nebula's new goth friends got along fine she still decided to break things up with Jude, she did admit that she has serious feeling for him and that she was doing this because she was going through changes in life and wanted to try different things and probably didn't want to put Jude through all of this, and two split on good terms. But in all seriousness the writers did a lousy thing by breaking up the chemistry between the two. I mean Caitlin pointed out in an earlier episode Starr stayed even though he throw up in her mouth that was a definite sign of love those two. And the fact that they had Starr's character literally rewritten over night to help keep he from Jude is just wrong.
* I thought [[AvatarTheLastAirbender Azula's]] "Do the tides command this ship?" speech was truly facepalm-worthy due to the pointless stupidity. Yeah, they needed to [[KickTheDog make her clearly evil]], but did they have to make her look stupid? (Before I am inundated with vocal disagreements, both show and character ''were'' thoroughly re-throned.)
** I agree. I was really dissapointed, that ship did not sink, so Azula would have to swim to shore herself. Would be a good lesson in pragmatic command.
** I'm a huge Avatar fan and was always lovingly enthralled by the simple intelligence in the storytelling. Azula's "tides" speech felt rather...extraneously pointless to the point where he was wondering whether Azula's character from then on would be characterized by unintentional {{Narm}}. Luckily, he was proven wrong...
*** But the ship did land safely. So she was right.
*** This troper seconds that. Given that [[SurroundedByIdiots the captain ruins her plans in the same episode]] this troper thought she was being sarcastic and hammering the point home that the Captain was an idiot and should just follow her orders.
** For this troper, the absolute biggest DethroningMomentOfSuck in the entire fucking series would be Sokka's little "You have to be aloof to get girls" speech in "The Fortune Teller". Oh my ''gosh'', what the HELL were the writers thinking, trying to invoke the obnoxious AllGirlsWantBadBoys trope? I might be slightly biased, because that trope is an enormous PetPeeveTrope of mine (Along with it's DistaffCounterpart, "AllGuysWantCheerleaders"), but honestly, I almost dropped the show because I just think that's the single most [[{{Wallbanger}} retarded and obnoxious]] moment in the entire show. But, since I still love Avatar overall, I eventually let it slide. But that one part... Ugh, that's the one single part in the whole series that just smashes hard onto my BerserkButton. (This troper would just like to clarify that he doesn't blame Sokka for that DMOS; I love Sokka, I blame the '''writers''' for actually having the nerve to invoke such nonsense.)
*** Ehh? I thought the joke was that Sokka had NO idea what he was talking about. The writers weren't saying he was right at all, notice his advice didn't help Aang attract Katara one bit (I know he thought Aang was talking about that other girl but she already liked Aang anyway). Also, aloof ≠ bad boy.
* The ''HouseOfMouse'' episode in which Scrooge [=McDuck=] buys the club and makes everyone miserable with his budget cuts has rubbed [[Tropers/FroggoFan64 me]] the wrong way for a good reason. Among the things Scrooge does to the club is that he frakkin' fires Huey, Dewey and Louie, his own grandnephews, from their position as the house band! After all those times they helped him search for treasures back in the comics and ''DuckTales'', this is how he repays them?! Something must've really turned him sour between the last ''DuckTales'' episode and this.
* The recent episode of JohnnyTest falls under this due to blatant "{{Asspull}} [[WordOfGod Of God]]". Basically, the episode focuses on Johnny's parents finding out Dukey can talk after Johnny tells them he's tired of them thinking he has no friends. Anyway, Dukey starts hanging out with Johnny's parents more so....Johnny gets several other kids to help him erase his parents memories. What? You mean instead of Johnny simply ''telling'' his parents he feels bad for making Dukey hang out with them instead of him, he pretty much pushes the ResetButton? What the hell, writers? You could've added a new comedy dynamic by showing how Mr. and Mrs. Test would handle having a talking dog in subsequent episodes...But, nope. Amnesia.
* [[{{Series/X-Men}} X-Men The Animated Series]]. Specifically, the episode ''The Fifth Horseman''. The previous season ended with the ''Beyond Good and Evil'' story arc, the single most epic arc in the entire series, with heroes and villains working together in the present, the future, and the distant past all finally leading up to [[spoiler: Apocalypse being destroyed and removed from time.]] Awesome! Five episodes later [[spoiler: THEY BRING HIM RIGHT THE FARK BACK!!]] GYAH! Way to render the most epic story arc in the entire series completely pointless, guys! ''The Fifth Horseman'' was immediately followed by four filler episodes and a rushed series finale. There's a reason for that. That reason is that it was terrible enough to make [[TheScrappy Warlock]] seem awesome in comparison.

* The ''FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' episode "I Have a Surprise for You" was one big DMOS for the entire Fosters' residence. [[spoiler: They basically brutally humiliate Mac in an extremely cruel fashion, even though they are susposed to be his ''friends'' who actually care about him. Some friends huh?]]

** Speaking of ''Total Drama World Tour''...[[TheScrappy Sierra]] revealing she had been [[ManipulativeBastard manipulating Cody's emotions]] in order to get close to him at the end of the (somewhat) recent episode in Paris. Now, for the most part, the episode is decent enough. However, throughout the episode Sierra is acting all wangsty after finding out that Cody doesn't like her. And Sierra sings quite an EarWorm of a song about this as well. So, Cody pretty much works his ''ass'' off trying to cheer Sierra up until he finally snaps and admits that he finds her [[StalkerWithACrush creepy stalker behavior]] more tolerable than her constant weeping. Sounds like an attempt to develop Sierra's relationship with Cody and [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap save her from her "Scrappy" status]] right? Nope. Turns out she was "playing hard to get" so that Cody would start "liking" (or "tolerating", in this case) her. It pretty much cemented Sierra's "Scrappy" status for me right there.

*** And this goes even more to Trent's CharacterDerailment. He was put into a Creepy Stalker like boyfriend instead of the cool everyman we saw in Total Drama Island. I mean seriously, did a Duncan/Gwen writer get hired?
