* Tropers/MrDeath: An early episode of ''Series/MindOfMencia'' opened with Mencia, in bed for some reason, receiving a phone call from what was supposed to be then-President UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush. Bush tells Mencia he loves the show, but asks him to be more politically correct. Mencia responds that he respects the president, but "Go fuck yourself," to a round of applause. Aside from being a pointless, unoriginal TakeThat (yeah, so edgy, taking on the same guy that every comedian in America makes fun of), but it's practically a CriticalResearchFailure: Bush, and republicans in general, almost never advocate political correctness; if anything, it's a liberal democrat ideal. It would be like ''Series/TheManShow'' doing a bit where UsefulNotes/BillClinton calls in and tells them that the girls jumping on trampolines is inappropriate. If you're going to tell the president to "go fuck yourself," do it in response to something he actually does. Come on, Carlos, I'm a republican and even I can see there's plenty of legitimate targets! It was a stupid, pointless, and baseless insult.

* PurpleShirt: I'm sure that ''Series/XPlay'' has had a lot of bad moments, namely when they let their BiasSteamroller spread through but I'll focus on one review that just reeks of CowboyBebopAtHisComputer... the review for ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss''. I am not saying this because I like the game, but because I've actually played it, so I know what stuff Morgan is right about, what's being taken out of context, and what's just flat out wrong. For starters, she (or whoever wrote the review, Adam and Morgan have admitted to not playing every game they review, further reducing any integrity the two had to virtually nothing) is completely oblivious to how the ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'' works, and complains about the game being a ClicheStorm. She gives a lot of evidence that she has only played the first third of the game tops, and even during that time, didn't really pay attention. Not to know that the series will have a WhamEpisode and will start deconstructing or playing with all the tropes they establish within the first third of the game is pretty much a CriticalResearchFailure. I get the idea that this is an {{RPG}} and that {{RPG}}s are rather long games, but honestly, when I myself reviewed games, and was reviewing a game I hadn't fully beaten yet, at least admitted it was a "First impressions". (Even Yahtzee admits reviewing games he's not finished.) Strike one. As for what she says about the plot... Morgan basically jumps to conclusions about the plot and writes them off as a check list of RPG Cliches. (See again, Tales's DeconstructorFleet). She mentions that Dist is the "Effeminate RPG villain bent on world domination". What? Dist?! As anyone who has played beyond the point Morgan (or the writer) got could tell you... this is a flat out lie. Effeminate? Okay, StrawmanHasAPoint there - you can argue that about Dist. But Dist is the primary antagonist bent on world domination? CriticalResearchFailure - The BigBad is actually someone completely different (Van) and World Domination is not even one of his goals. In fact, Mohs is being built up as the BigBad at that point of the game. To be fair, maybe Morgan (or the writer) deduced that the game would do something like that. And in that case, they're actually right since Mohs is only the BigBadWannabe, but even he doesn't want to take over the world. Even more research failures and BlatantLies, strike two. And finally? [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking The X-play tendency of taking a quote out of context and repeating it ad nauseum because it sounds funny]]. Yeah, guys? It's not funny. Even if you take Dist's quote out of context... it's still not funny. There were several better lines they could have taken out of context that would have been a little more funny, but overall, that wasn't. Strike three - we have a train-wreck.
* Tropers/{{Pgj1997}}: Their VideoGame/PokemonChannel review made me cringe so much, all because of one line. That line is "In case you're wondering where the 'game' part comes in, it doesn't. You literally watch your Pikachu watch TV!" ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! For anyone's who's actually played Pokémon Channel, you'll know that, although watching TV is the main focus, in the game [[CriticalResearchFailure you can interact with stuff in the room, and go outside]]. And, while they mention it, they brush it off like it's not important. Then they say "But mostly, Pikachu wants to watch TV, and buy things". Even though, in that exact moment, they show the game giving the player [[FailedASpotCheck a yes or no option, so it's not mandatory if he asks]]. It's like they only played 30 minutes of the game, changed the [=GameCube=]'s clock when neccesarry, and didn't bother doing anything else. They then proceed to give the game 1/5 for "not actually being a video game". I'm sorry, does the game come on a disk? Does the game provide interactive features? Can you play it on a video game console? Does it have goals to work towards? Yes. To all of the above. So fuck off. If they actually played through the whole thing, I'd bet you they'd give it at least a 2/5, or maybe a 3/5. First impressions aren't everything, you know.

* Tropers/{{Gravidef}}: ''Series/BlueBloods'' has always been a show that talks about how wonderful and amazing the police, and especially the NYPD, are; any problems with the cops are ''always'' the product of a singular "bad apple" rather than any sort of problem within the police system itself. It's become uncomfortable at times--representing the Black Lives Matter movement with a strawman whose protests always turn out to be criminal, having Frank [[MightyWhitey step in and resolve problems among people of different races or beliefs with some Irish Catholic wisdom]], the NYPD blaming residents of a poor neighborhood for not reporting gangs as the reason why they can't arrest them--but for this Troper, the absolute kicker comes in the episode "Nightmares." The main plot sees Danny and his partner Kate trying to solve the mystery of why a teenager dressed as Baron Samedi (Kate, the supposed expert on vodou cultures, keeps referring to him as "''The'' Baron Samedi," [[CriticalResearchFailure which is incorrect]]--that's a preview of what's to come) fatally stabbed a man dressed as a priest on Halloween night. Upon discovering that the costumed man borrowed a pectoral cross from an actual priest, they go to interview him, and it's clear that he and the other members of the clergy are hiding something. Danny goes on a long rant about [[PaedoHunt child-molesting priests being total monsters, and the men who cover it up being just as guilty]]. These are all true points, but the problem is that that's not the secret. The priest in question had been called in to do an ''exorcism'' on the teenager, which is an understandable thing to be kept under wraps, especially because exorcism is used as an absolute last resort and involves priests working alongside physical and mental health professionals to ensure that the supposed possession isn't some form of illness, mental or otherwise--all highly-classified information that requires the police to get special specific permission to access. That plot ends with the teenager's Haitian church being able to perform a proper exorcism, with Danny [[MagicalNegro looking on in wonder at the simple yet powerful wisdom held by the congregation]] (which we naturally [[StatusQuoIsGod never hear about again]]). But as offensive as that is, it pales in comparison to the B-plot: Frank's press secretary Garrett reveals that, after his wife recently cheated on him, he went down to Atlantic City for a weekend and ended up cheating on her as well. Garrett lied to the other woman about his job, and sent illicit text messages about his plans for her. As he explains what happened, he repeatedly points out that the affair was mutual and that the woman has a very strong case for bringing him to court. He's prepared to hand in his resignation, as he knows that what he did was wrong (not to mention ''illegal''), and he wants to avoid a scandal. So what does Frank do? He asks his father to call up his old Atlantic City cop buddies--specifically saying there can't be a paper trail--to pressure the woman into dropping her (completely legitimate) case. There's a name for that kind of action--coercion--and it's a crime. And why does Frank decide to do it? [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality Because he likes Garrett.]] But the worst part: the show ''never points out the comparison'' between the plots. If there's any connection, it's that "It's wrong when members of nearly every profession cover up for each other, but when the police do it, it's totally fine." This goes straight beyond ViewersAreMorons and into pure propaganda: "The police are perfect in every way and whatever they do is justified." And THAT is both revolting and terrifying.

** WRM5: None of that is the worst to me. (Frankly, complaining about how mean ''Scrubs'' is to J.D. is like complaining about how wet the ocean is.) As a diabetic myself, I'm astounded at how poor the show's portrayal of diabetes is. As it mentions on YMMV.{{Scrubs}}, the show portrays diabetes as being basically AIDS - a slow death sentence that will one day take you at a young age, when in fact diabetes is controllable and survivable. The dethroning moment, though, came in one episode where the B-plot revolved around Turk trying to choose what sort of cake he wanted, because he was only allowed to eat one sweet thing a month (or something like that) and wanted it to be special. This is dangerously wrong, as diabetics have to be careful of their blood sugar dropping too low as well as going too high. The idea of only eating one sweet thing a month is preposterous and trying to handle your diabetes that way will absolutely kill you. What's especially shocking is that the show is usually known for how accurate it is, which means it can't possibly just be a mild case of CriticalResearchFailure.

* Loekman3: ''Series/AnimalFaceOff'' [[InformedAbility claims to do their research for each one of the animals but in fact]], [[CriticalResearchFailure they exist just to frustrate the animal fans to the point that a real expert would just roll their eyes and kick the asses of the so called show experts out of the show]]. The epitome of this is the ending of the saltwater vs great white shark where the narrator apparently stated that a crocodile has to resurface to breathe despite the fact that only a few minutes has passed since the crocodile has entered underwater. [[SomewhereAHerpetologistIsCrying Any reptile experts will tell you that a crocodile can stay underwater for hours while a shark would not survive that long since the crocodile kept biting it to the point of incapacitation]]. Thus they created a cheap victory for the shark just for a lame shock value, i.e. a plot twist for the sake of a plot twist. [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle Wiz and Boomstick has every right to laugh their asses off]] after that scene.

* {{Tyrekecorrea}}: Forgive me. It's common knowledge on TV Tropes that I'm big on ''Series/SesameStreet'', but I have to speak on Julia. For those of you who don't know. Julia's a Muppet girl with Autism. Sesame Street is, on the whole, all about celebrating diversity. I understand that, and at its most basic, that's fine. However, the portrayal of Julia is all wrong. For one thing, there's so much emphasis on what makes Julia different that it's not really possible to show her fitting in. Instead of normalizing Julia's presence, the other Muppets follow her lead in acting out. It's not cool, because at three and a half and three years old, respectively, Elmo and Zoe are more mature than four year old Julia, who is encouraging them to act like babies. Julia looks... different, too, in the same way that people with disabilities often look different, the way that prompts other people to stare at people with disabilities, think they're weird, or even tease them. Julia is portrayed in a stereotypical manner, and apparently everybody is okay with this. It takes us back to a time when people with disabilities were treated like freaks. Julia encourages marginalization of people with disabilities.
** Tropers/GoblinCipher: There was a time when ''Sesame Street'''s celebrity cameos and pop culture references were occasional ParentalBonus, but eventually it started getting way, way out of hand. For a perfect example, see the video for "The Monster in the Mirror." It starts out as the charming Grover song we all remember, but then completely overloads itself with cameos from (deep breath) Creator/RobinWilliams, Creator/CandiceBergen, Creator/WhoopiGoldberg, Creator/JuliaRoberts, Music/RayCharles, Chubby Checker, Tyne Daly, Bo Jackson, Creator/GlennClose, Creator/LouDiamondPhillips, Creator/JeffGoldblum, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Creator/GeenaDavis, Crator/TraceyUllman, Creator/TimRobbins, Kadeem Hardison, Jeff Smith, Robert MacNeil, Charlayne Hunter-Gault, and WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons! A single celebrity guest to help Grover sing the song would have been fine, but this wasn't about the song, the kids, or even the parents. This was about celebrity egos.

* Tropers/MrDeath: An early episode of ''Series/MindOfMencia'' opened with Mencia, in bed for some reason, receiving a phone call from what was supposed to be then-President UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush. Bush tells Mencia he loves the show, but asks him to be more politically correct. Mencia responds that he respects the president, but "Go fuck yourself," to a round of applause. Aside from being a pointless, unoriginal TakeThat (yeah, so edgy, taking on the same guy that every comedian in America makes fun of), but it's practically a CriticalResearchFailure: Bush, and republicans in general, almost never advocate political correctness; if anything, it's a liberal democrat ideal. It would be like ''Series/TheManShow'' doing a bit where UsefulNotes/BillClinton calls in and tells them that the [[{{Gainaxing}} girls jumping on trampolines]] is inappropriate. If you're going to tell the president to "go fuck yourself," do it in response to something he actually does. Come on, Carlos, I'm a republican and even I can see there's plenty of legitimate targets! It was a stupid, pointless, and baseless insult.

* Tropers/{{kinola}}: I'm surprised no one did a DMoS for ''Series/The Book of Boba Fett'' yet, so here we go: the show started out fine but began to fall apart as it progressed. So many things were wrong with the show, but what I was most frustrated about was how they dealt with Jabba the Hutt's unnamed cousins. I really like their entrance, and how they had Black Krrsantan as their bodyguard. I truly believed that they were going to be the BigBadEnsemble for the show, especially since they sent Krrsantan to kill Boba in Jabba's old palace. But after that, they decide they were just messing with Boba, give him a pet rancor, and disappear. Then the Pyke Syndicate became the BigBad for the rest of the time. Just...why? It felt like gaslighting to me.

* {{Tyrekecorrea}}: Forgive me. It's common knowledge on TV Tropes that I'm big on ''Series/SesameStreet'', but I have to speak on Julia. For those of you who don't know.

Julia encourages marginalization of people with disabilities.

* Alan Palgut: For ''Series/TheOfficeUS'', nothing stood out as more insulting and demoralising as "Diversity Day," the episode where the series splits from ''Series/TheOfficeUK''. Michael's truest low comes when [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons he does an an awful imitation of Apu]] by offering his "cookie-cookie" to Kelly.

* CapriciousSalmon: I can't believe I'm doing this, but here's a DMOS for ''Series/TheHandmaidsTale''. I won't lie, the show really dropped the ball during Season 3, and they really held themselves back. Thankfully, Season 4, for the most part, has been a big improvement. That can't be said for the episode "Home." It starts off great, with June finally in Canada and getting the help she needs. Obviously, she's still dealing with the post-traumatic stress such a situation would bring. The DMOS for me comes near the end when after a super stressful day, June and Luke start to make love, and Luke gets uncomfortable. In response, [[MoralEventHorizon June holds down her protesting husband, covers his mouth, and starts to violently have sex with Luke against his will, enjoying it all and knowing he's telling her to stop.]] Did the writers not realize this is rape, and our protagonist has done something unquestionably evil?! Apparently they didn't, since they seemed kind of confused in interviews they gave after the episode aired. Maybe it doesn't put June on the level of somebody like Fred Waterford, but as a main protagonist, she crossed the MoralEventHorizon than she did with Ofmatthew, because while Natalie at least "wronged" her, Luke has been nothing but patient with her so far and has been trying his hardest to help her adjust. June is one of my least favorite protagonists ever because of the CharacterShilling she gets just for breathing, and this scene sealed my dislike. What purpose does it serve outside of shock value? What's worse is like most interesting THT plot points, this is never brought up again. At best, June tries it again during the next episode, and Luke justifiably tells her to stop. I heard a possible reason why they did the scene was that in real life, many rape victims can become hypersexual due to their minds attempting to gain back control. So are they trying to say [[UnfortunateImplications it's fine for June to rape Luke, an innocent party, because she was beaten and raped back in Gilead, while Luke was doing whatever little he could to get her out?]] Traumatized or not, this is not OK! Rape in any form and regardless of gender, isn't OK, and that's a huge point of the show! THT can be pretty progressive and informative' but this is a huge leap backward. Overall, it ruined a season I was mostly enjoying up to this point, and it ruined a character whose likability was hanging on by a thread.

* Tropers/{{Gravidef}}: ''Series/BlueBloods'' has always been a show that talks about how wonderful and amazing the police, and especially the NYPD, are; any problems with the cops are ''always'' the product of a singular "bad apple" rather than any sort of problem within the police system itself.

* neckinhalf: ''Series/{{Dexter}}'' Season 8's penultimate episode, ''Monkey in a Box'', has one moment in particular that made me give up on the SERIES. As in, I can't even watch season 1-4 [=DVDs=] now. Dexter has Oliver Saxon (this season's big bad) on a table, ready to kill him. Except, he's realized that thanks to Hannah's love, he doesn't need to kill anymore. So he leaves Saxon there for Deb to take in. Two HUGE problems here: A) Saxon has to have some kind of proof at this point that Dex is a serial killer, just by looking through Vogel's files. He would IMMEDIATELY rat Dex out if he was taken in. Deb would be in a pinch to say the least. B) Dexter has had murderous urges as a child. He killed small animals, had messed up drawings, and all the other "hallmarks" of a serial killer that are in public consciousness. Yet, the love of a woman who poisons people has somehow eroded that. A woman that he spared from his table and fell in love with for very little reason in the first place. That THIS is how Dexter loses his urge to kill is an utter embarrassment to say the very least.

* Patrickthekid: Much of season 5 of ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'' is awful, but if there's one episode most people (myself included) will point as the worst of the series, it's [[Recap/XenaS05E15MarriedWithFishsticks Marriage With Fishsticks]], an unfunny parody of the series ''Series/MarriedWithChildren''. Basically Gabrielle is bonked on the head in dispute between two Greek gods who conviently forgot about the plot point of killing the baby Eve or at least using Gabrielle as leverage. To be fair, one of them was unlikely to go through with it, but there is no reason why the other one didn't jump at the chance. The rest of the episode is basically said character living through a domesticated life as a mermaid wife to a Joxer lookalike with his skeeviness straight up to eleven. None of the jokes do a good job paying homage to either show, the kids look outright horrendous and everyone is outright awful to Gabrielle without it looking fun or cool. It was so bad, the current showrunners were removed from the show and the old one had to jump in to salvage the season.

* TheLuckyCat: I really liked watching ''Series/{{Misfits}}'' and even if I do think the show took a dive in quality after Nathan and then the rest of the original cast left, I was still into it enough that I watched it through to the end. But my DMOS is the series finale. To summarise, Jess has a one-night stand with a guy who turns out to be a complete {{Yandere}} and thanks to his power, Jess ends up a year in the future. She finds out she got pregnant from the one night stand and now she's in a relationship with Luke, and her friends all thought she was dead because she disappeared. So Jess has to try and figure out what happened and how to go back in time and get the gang back together. That's all fine, but what really annoys me is at the episode's end after [[BadFuture Rudy gets killed taking out the Jumper Posse]], Jess records a video message to herself in the past and slits her wrists, forcing Luke to go back a year to stop her. Jess then listens to the message from her future self, telling her to have sex with Luke, kill him and then go find Rudy, Finn, Abbey and Alex and tell them what happened to prevent the Jumper Posse from forming and turning evil. ''What?'' So Jess, for some inexplicable reason, decides to have the baby she had with a psychopath despite only being with it for one day, and she has no concrete proof that this ''is'' her child - [[FridgeLogic Luke could very well have been lying to her to about being it's mother]], since he implies he's pulled this on girls before, and the only hint she was going to have a kid is that the woman who knits the future made a jumper depicting Jess holding a baby in a previous episode. Rudy tells Jess he loves her and will stay with her to raise the baby even if it's not his, but Jess choosing to keep some random lunatic's baby BecauseDestinySaysSo even though she's still on community service and has no way of supporting it or herself when she easily could just wait a couple of years and maybe have a baby with Rudy, who she actually loves, when the time is right, leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Instead she willingly keeps a kid she has no memory of conceiving, having or raising, all because some psychopath that she only had a fling with because she was upset with Rudy, told her it was hers and now she's stuck with this choice for the rest of her life. The only way this could have been worse is if she'd ended up with [[EntitledToHaveYou Finn]] instead, but it totally robs Jess of her autonomy and flies in the face of her character that's been established since Season Four.
* [=SorPepita=]: The final scene of the ''Series/ChillingAdventuresOfSabrina'' series finale heavily, and I mean ''heavily'' implies that Nick committed suicide in order to be [[TogetherInDeath together forever with the deceased Sabrina]], and isn't that romantic? Err, I beg your pardon? I don't care about the characters knowing for a fact that there exists an afterlife in their universe, that is so disgustingly wrong that I cannot ''begin'' to describe how or why is it. For me it's kind of like {{Manga/Monster}}'s Johan on the issue of why you shouldn't go around killing people: either you get it or you don't, and no amount of explaining is going to fix anything. And here I was, thinking that the writers of this series got it, but nooo. Cue the flashbacks of [=SMeyer=]'s ''Literature/NewMoon'' romanticizing suicidal depression! This is so bad that poor Creator/KiernanShipka had to resort to speculating that [[https://www.thewrap.com/chilling-adventures-of-sabrina-ending-sabrina-death-nick-suicide-series-finale-kiernan-shipka/ Nick's true intention was to rescue her from the afterlife]] in order to justify it, which is something that the scene doesn't hint at, like, ''at all''. Awesome work, dudes. To quote ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'''s Tin Man in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': "You are like five minutes from gone and you leave with that? You know, it's like cutting a huge fart and then walking out of the room. And that's how we will remember you: as a big fart."

* Tropers/MotiveFan: I read a lot about how Season 5 for ''Series/NineOneOne'' has been the weakest one so far, but I didn't really feel it until episode [[ThirteenIsUnlucky thirteen]], Fear-o-phobia. The very first scene is Chimney and Maddie telling their friends that they've broken up. Not showing the breakup, telling their friends that it's already happened. I'm not particularly given to shipping, but the way it's done here is so flat and empty, especially considering ''just how much'' we've seen them go through. On top of that, the fact that Chimney punched Buck in the face earlier that season is settled completely offscreen with a single sentence of "we worked it out". It honestly feels like settling one of the biggest drama points of the season, if not the ''series'', was all a pointless formality that the writers wanted out of the way so they could add even ''more'' overdone drama with Taylor.

* Levitator: For two shining seasons ''Series/TheUmbrellaAcademy'' was the cream of the crop of modern television. But season 3 came with ''major'' CharacterDerailment, and I found everyone increasingly unlikable. The true DMOS, though, comes in episode 6. After a heated argument with Luthor, Allison uses her superpowers to tell Luthor, "I heard a rumor that you want me." Luthor shambles back to Allison and kisses her against his will. She has a change of heart, but still, that is ''attempted rape!'' They don't fully embrace the DoubleStandard, thankfully, but she still gets off way too light. It's portrayed as a nasty moment, but she's EasilyForgiven and only gets a token scolding, while it's also implied that [[UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming this is partly Luthor's fault for not being sensitive to her feelings.]] I cannot imagine a male attempted rapist being treated so softly. And no, I don't give a fuck about her stupid daughter; you don't get to rape people! I consider this to be Allison's MoralEventHorizon; she is now irredeemably monstrous and I am rooting for her to be killed off. I may keep watching this show, but there is no hope for Allison anymore.

* Tropers/{{Midna}}: ''Series/TheBoys2019'' was never going to be "for me", but I really did try to give it a chance, or at least the benefit of the doubt. Then Season 3, episode 1 happened. [[spoiler:[[IncredibleShrinkingMan Termite]]. [[NauseaFuel Penis]].]] I think it's supposed to be funny, a reference to an ''Ant-Man'' meme, but who would laugh at something like that? The Ant-Man joke is funny to think about, not see filmed on-screen with a professional budget. Nobody actually wanted to see [[spoiler:Ant-Man jump into a full-size practical replica of Thanos's ass]]--and we didn't, because Marvel knows restraint. Besides the [[spoiler:cock schlock]], there's a difference being shocking to make a satirical point about hero worship and the way we treat celebrities in real life, and being shocking because you've bought into your own hype and want to see how low you can go without actively driving people away. (And that poor whale was already pushing it.) If the show is going to be anything like this going forward, no thanks.

* Tropers/{{Midna}}: ''Series/TheBoys2019'' was never going to be "for me", but I really did try to give it a chance, or at least the benefit of the doubt. Then Season 3, episode 1 happened. [[spoiler:[[IncredibleShrinkingMan Termite]]. [[NauseaFuel Penis]].]] I think it's supposed to be funny, but who would laugh at something like that?

* Tropers/{{ccorb}}: I'm surprised nobody's written any [=DMoS=]s on ''Series/{{Atypical}}'' yet after three years. Maybe because everything that sucks about the show is already on its YMMV page. For those of you who don't know, the show is about an [[HollywoodAutism autistic]] teenage boy on his mysogynistic QuestForSex who gets [[{{Squick}} a crush on his therapist]], and is so full of {{Wangst}}, [[JerkSue Jerk Sues]], and UnfortunateImplications that it could be called ''[[DisabilityAsAnExcuseForJerkassery Disability as an Excuse for]]'' ''[[UpToEleven Sociopathy]]'': ''The Show''. Anyway, my [=DMoS=] for ''Atypical'' is a scene in the first season when [[TheSociopath Sam]] and [[CasanovaWannabe Zahid]] [[TrojanGauntlet go to a drugstore to buy condoms for Sam's first sex act]]. Now, naturally, the audience would assume that Sam (who is 18) would already know how condoms work and, if he didn't, would have free access to the Internet that MyBelovedSmother didn't monitor so he could look it up (An earlier episode shows him watching a dumb "How to Pick Up Girls" video). What does he do instead? Walk straight up to the counter and ask the pharmacist questions such as [[WhatAnIdiot "Can I try condoms on before I buy them?" and "Can I return them if they don't meet the guarantee?"]] Even with the stupid plotlines and unlikeable characters, this is the worst writing I have ever watched in a Netflix show. And oh, due to DawsonCasting, the actor playing Sam is 25 years old at the time of release. [[{{Squick}} That's right, a 25-year-old man is asking how condoms work]]. It's pretty telling that especially after the show started steadily GrowingTheBeard in Season 2, most people [[JustHereForGodzilla watch this show just for]] [[spoiler:Casey and Izzie's romance]][[note]]In fact, it would be a borderline EightDeadlyWords series if it weren't for them[[/note]].

* Patrickthekid: Much of season 5 of ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'' is awful, but if there's one episode most people (myself included) will point as the worst of the series, it's [[Recap/XenaS05E15MarriedWithFishsticks Marriage With Fishsticks]], an unfunny parody of the series ''Series/MarriedWithChildren''. Basically Gabrielle is bonked on the head in dispute between two Greek gods who conviently forgot about the plot point of killing the baby Eve or at least using Gabrielle as leverage. To be fair, one of them was unlikely to go through with it, but there is no reason why the other one didn't jump at the chance. The rest of the episode is basically said character living through a domesticated life as a mermaid wife to a Joxer lookalike with his skeeviness straight UpToEleven. None of the jokes do a good job paying homage to either show, the kids look outright horrendous and everyone is outright awful to Gabrielle without it looking fun or cool. It was so bad, the current showrunners were removed from the show and the old one had to jump in to salvage the season.

* Tropers/{{KoopaKid17}}: ''Series/HoleyMoley'' was one of my guilty pleasures. Note that I typed "was". This is because of what Joe Tessitore and Rob Riggle did in the episode "Can You Feel The Urge?". To explain, a contestant managed to stay dry on the King Parthur's Court hole. However, a judge told him that he had to be assessed the one-stroke penalty because he committed a rule violation to do so. Joe and Rob went on a tirade against the judge, repeatedly saying among other things that [[SoreLoser the contestant should punch him]]. One of them even said the judge should be [[DisproportionateRetribution killed]]. Hey, Joe and Rob, do you know what happens to people who physically abuse sports officials? At any level? They get well-deserved fines, suspensions, bans and even assault charges. But, apparently, you assholes think it's okay to encourage this kind of harm. I've seen sportscasters get upset with umpires and referees, but they've never expressed the level of classlessness that Joe and Rob displayed on ''Holey Moley''. They should be held responsible in case a kid sees their unsportsmanlike rants and brings their wishes to the field.

* Tropers/{{LLSmoothJ}}: Like many people around my age, I grew up with ''Series/FamilyMatters'' and I didn't think much of it at the time. But [[FridgeHorror after thinking about it]] (Partially due to the Social Injustice Warrior himself Vee Infuso), as controversal as it may sound, one moment sticks out for me: Many see it as a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Heartwarming Moment]], but Steve and Laura becoming an Official Couple is one of, if not the worst moment in the series. Forget [[FanPreferredCouple believing that Steve was better off with Myra]], [[DerailingLoveInterests who ended up being done filthy]]. Throughout the entire series, Laura has rejected Steve's advances time after time again, making it clear that she was not into him. Even after their relationship improved, she made it clear that she was not interested. And then near the twilight of the series, she changes her tune and hooks up with Steve, who was already in a healthy relationship with Myra? Come ''on''! Not only did this ruin three characters (One intentionally, the other two unintentionally), this gave rise to the idea that [[StalkingIsLove if you stalk someone enough]] to the point of sabotage and life ruination, the object of your affection will give in. Wonder why we having romance plots such as those in Literature/{{Twilight}} and why the DoggedNiceGuy [[DiscreditedTrope eventually became]] [[RonTheDeathEater villified as]] [[EntitledToHaveYou an Entitled Nice Guy]]? You can look at this show and others like this (At least those with similar romance plots).

* Levitator: For two shining seasons ''Series/TheUmbrellaAcademy'' was the cream of the crop of modern television. But season 3 came with ''major' CharacterDerailment, and I found everyone increasingly unlikable. The true DMOS, though, comes in episode 6. After a heated argument with Luthor, Allison uses her superpowers to tell Luthor, "I heard a rumor that you want me." Luthor shambles back to ALlisoin and kisses her against his will. She has a change of heart, but still, that is ''attempted rape!'' They don't fully embrace the DoubleStandard, thankfully, but she still gets off way too light. It's portrayed as a nasty moment, but she's EasilyForgiven and only gets a token scolding, while it's also implied that [[UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming this is partly Luthor's fault for not being sensitive to her feelings.]] I cannot imagine a male attempted rapist being treated so softly. And no, I don't give a fuck about her stupid daughter; you don't get to rape people! I consider this to be Allision's MoralEventHorizon; she is now irredeemably monstrous and I am rooting for her to be killed off. I may keep watching this show, but there is no hope for Allison anymore.

* Tropers/AlmightyKingPrawn: ''Music/LadyGaga and Franchise/TheMuppets: Holiday Spectacular'' is already terrible; it is a strong contender for the worst thing to come out of the entire Muppet franchise. However, the ending is the icing on this massive shit cake: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TsDKtWILE4 Pepe, basically, in the most G-rated way he can, sexually assaults Lady Gaga]]. As my name suggests, Pepe is one of my favorite Muppets, probably second only to Gonzo, but here, I think I finally realized why he is TheScrappy to so many people. Like, I understand he's TheCasanova -- I, myself, usually find his antics hilarious, and I am AFAB and identify as at least feminine. But here, he's straight up implied to be touching her vagina. I almost don't even want to accept that this is the same character I love.
