So somebody, for example a youtube showman, is making a series(let's name it "Cool Monkeys"), and people love it. But then, he makes some episodes of "Super Cats", and fans are angry, because they think that the maker should only make Cool Monkeys and stop making that Shity "Super Cats" episodes.
Also, I've got an extra question: A technology and stuff from XX-XXI century is being parodied in cavemen era, or medieval era. Good example: Flinstones: Newspaper is made of rock, Cars use legs etc.

I think we know the story between Buffy and Faith by now. Faith's a new slayer, she's a bad girl fighting vampires, accidntly kills someone, goes to rape Xander, becomes evil, kills for fun, Buffy puts her in a coma. Faith wakes up, goes looking for revenge, steals Buffy's body, acts like herself in Buffy'[s body, Willow and Tara come to the rescue, Faith runs to LA and goes on a rampage to get Angel's attention, she wants him to kill her.
The point now. In Sanctuary Angel tries to get Faith to redeem herself, Buffy comes to town seeking revenge, Faith is fine with Buffy wanting to kill her but Angel basically tells Buff to piss off. Is there a trope for Buffy, the hero, acting like a trouble making bitch (I'm using Television Without Pity's description here) in this episode.

Is there a trope where Bob is dating Alice, but Bob is getting his lines fed by Charlie (usually via an earpiece)? Hilarity Ensues. Examples I've seen include Gullivers Travels 2010 , The Tuxedo , Rio, Muppets Tonight, and Short Circuit 2 .

Do we have a trope for killers who never let themselves be detected? Specifically, I want a place to put this quote:
"Never seen, never heard: the assassin's way of life."

Bob is hanging from a rope in the villain's layer. He kicks his shoe off, which has a paperclip inside, and starts swinging to use the wind to push the paperclip near a light. The light reflects off of the paperclip and it burns the rope he's hanging from. He's free! AKA: Do we have a trope for when a character escapes with a BARE minimum of supplies?

Is there a trope for this scenario?
Two characters are engaged in a struggle of some kind, when something improbable and spectacular happens, causing them to momentarily stop their struggle and look at each other in disbelief, and maybe even smile and chuckle nervously. Usually after a second or two they immediately resume their struggle.

Looking for a trope where an attack can't damage his target or even get them to notice him. They could be throwing punching or launching missile and the target doesn't seem to notice or care. This generally happens when there is a weaker attacker and significant powerful target. They might turn around at some point ad make some comment like "Are you quite finished?" or "Hello?" or "What are you doing?"

I'm sure this one must exist, I just can't seem to find it.
Essentially, it's the female character who everyone fancies. She just seems to be a magnet for romantic attention, without consciously trying to earn it. Many male members of the regular cast will pine after her, and if there's a male guest star, odds are he'll be after her, too.
Imagine the girl at the centre of a Gender Flipped Unwanted Harem, except her love woes are not necessarily the focus of the film / show. That's who we're talking about.
Not Ms. Fanservice - she may be fancied by fans as well, but we're talking strictly about her in-universe appeal.
Might be a result of The Smurfette Principle.
Examples might be: Mary in Theres Something About Mary, Annie in Being Human, Gadget in Chip And Dale Rescue Rangers.
EDIT: Never mind, I found it. It's Dude Magnet.

Is there a trope for when the monster eats something that makes noise, and its subsequant attacks are heralded by the sound of that object from inside the creature? The most famous example would be the crocodile from Peter Pan, which had swallowed a ticking clock, but it's also been used in the Tremors franchise (Graboid eats boom box), the novel Sewer, Gas & Electric (mutant shark eats musical wristwatch), and as a fake-out in Jurassic Park 3 (dinosaur eats a satellite phone, which is later heard ringing from what turns out to be a pile of poo, not an attacking dino).
Here's another trope that I can't find anywhere; one character notices something that he becomes greatly horrified or surprised at, but it turns out to be something mundane rather than the main event that happened. Happens fairly often in Sponge Bob Square Pants. It could be a subtrope of Completely Missing The Point, but I don't know what it's called. Does anyone know what that trope is called?
