Basic Trope: A character tends to be forgetful for reasons aside from having a brain injury or dementia.
- Straight: Jones often has difficulty remembering things, often asking questions about something that just happened a few minutes ago.
- Exaggerated:
- Jones tends to forget details like his own name, where he lives, etc
- Everyone in the cast has difficulty remembering things.
- Downplayed: Jones occasionally forgets certain details of something that just happened.
- Justified:
- Jones has short-term memory loss.
- Jones gets distracted easily or otherwise wasn't paying attention to what he was supposed to remember.
- Inverted: Jones has an excellent memory.
- Subverted: ???
- Double Subverted: ???
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged:
- Sometimes, Jones has a great memory, but other times he finds it difficult to remember anything.
- Jones is good at remembering some things, but not others.
- Averted:
- Jones doesn't have a bad memory.
- The reason why Jones is forgetful is explicitly said to be because of a brain injury, or dementia.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Played for Laughs: Jones' constant forgetfulness is treated as a Running Gag, where he does things such as looking for something that's in his other hand.
- Played for Drama: Jones feels frustrated and/or embarrassed by his difficulty remembering things, and is looking for ways to improve his memory.
