The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.

Sounds like old-fashioned Anti-Climax.

...So I am. Clearly, TV Tropes has already ruined my life, since I didn't even stop to think it might be a term in general usage I already knew. Thank you!
I'm not sure whether or not this is already a trope, or on the other hand if it even falls into the category of tropes, but—
A TV show/series of novels/webcomic/etc. has been drawing out the Will They or Won't They? between two characters who have really blatant, possibly even canonically acknowledged, Everyone Can See It UST. It's been going on for a while, and may actually be the driving force of the work. Finally, they actually do hook up, but by this point the Genre Savvy troper's opinion is "well, obviously" instead of "SQUEE!!1!" It's not Shipping Bed Death because that's what happens after the hookup, and it's not a Romantic Plot Tumor or any other bad writing trope—I'm looking for a totally underwhelmed reaction to They Do even if everything else ought to be good (a shipping-specific version of Arc Fatigue, maybe? except that implies actual frustration instead of just "well, duh").
