1 | "''Seinfeld'' Is Unfunny" may refer to one of the following tropes (YMMV except where noted): |
2 | |
3 | * CondemnedByHistory: Something that was once mostly liked is now viewed with outright contempt. |
4 | * DancingBear: A work whose reputation is based on one gimmick rather than any other merits. |
5 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Elements of a work or series that differ early in its existence, either because of evolving artistry or the work’s identity is still unknown. Not a YMMV trope. |
6 | * FairForItsDay: Something that might come across as a CaptainObviousAesop or even offensive today was considered progressive in its time. |
7 | * GenreTurningPoint: A work redefines a genre it occupies. |
8 | * HypeBacklash: Any work that becomes immensely popular and beloved will eventually receive new viewers who don’t think it’s as good as the hype. |
9 | * ItsPopularNowItSucks: The more mainstream something is, the more critical people are of it. |
10 | * ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Something is seen as bad simply because it's too similar to a previous work, rather than due to any particular flaw on its own. |
11 | * ItWasHisSled: A PlotTwist that has become so widely known it is no longer seen as shocking. |
12 | * OlderThanTheyThink: An idea many might believe originates from a certain work actually predates that work. |
13 | * OnceOriginalNowCommon: A work that was once seen as innovative and fresh is now seen as quaint because of its immense influence. Formerly named "''Seinfeld'' is Unfunny" after the television series ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}''. |
14 | * UnintentionalPeriodPiece: An AudienceReaction in which a work has so many cultural trademarks of its era that it comes across as a deliberate exaggeration to modern viewers. |
15 | * ValuesDissonance: An element of a work is viewed as normal in its own culture/time period, but is considered questionable in another culture/time period. |
