Probably the closest thing. I was thinking about when the glurge is used to contrast a darker reality of the show or its production (the Close Enough example had reality turning into a sitcom to display how the escapism was bad), which maybe could be an in-universe variation of Angst? What Angst?.

Edited by mightymewtron I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

I don't think it's Glurge, which seems specifically about "inspirational" and "emotional" stories that are actually shallow and hard to swallow.

I think Subverted Kids' Show is more accurate.
