Reviving this discussion because the problem keeps popping up. Narm isn't just about complaining, which is what many of these entries are doing. They don't explain why the scene is unintentionally funny, they just complain about something they don't like. It's a serious problem.

There's already a discussion below, contribute to that, and please restore your deleted entries out of fairness.

That discussion was from over 2 years ago. It makes no sense to revive it and it's better to make a new thread for visibility purposes.

Somebody needs to change the tone of this page. It's 90% whining and bad snark.

It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane. Hide / Show Replies

Fully agreed. As it stands, it reads like a page nitpicking around any potenttial silliness.

Now it seems like a good portion of them are passive-aggressively defensive.

"While this was awesome, here's why this one part isn't."

I cut a bunch of the entries, particularly ones near the end of the page which were really starting to go off the deep end towards complaining. Hopefully this will help steer the page back in the right direction.

I do think Fridge Logic and Narm are not mutually exclusive. Littlefinger's teleportation, for example, did make many supposedly dramatic scenes very difficult to take seriously.

Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.

Well, if you actually found Littlefinger's sudden appearances unintentionally funny while you were watching the show, then you can re-add the entry, just make sure you word it that way. The way the entry was worded it came across more as Fridge Logic. Fridge Logic, by definition, happens after you watch the show, while Narm occurs while you are watching it. If you finish a show and then go "wait, that was stupid!", that's not Narm.

^ This.

Also, "X scene becomes unintentionally funny for those who have seen/played/read *insert name of obscure work here* due to Y minor similarity" doesn't really qualify as Narm.
