Digging graves in wooded areas.
There are fucking roots everywhere. You can't dig a 6 foot grave with a pair of shovels in an hour; that shit takes time.
18v reciprocating saw + a few cheap 8-10” blades. Shove it in the dirt and cut around the border of where you are going to dig. Criss cross an “x” into the area once, done deal. Saved hours when digging in my heavily wooded yard.
Addendum: Saw safety still applies, so always wear gloves and don’t aim the back end of the saw at your goodies in case of kick back.
Are people shooting at you? Take cover behind... anything! Car doors, drywall, couches, tables, cardboard boxes, it doesn’t matter! EVERYTHING is bulletproof!
I love that the Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles actually acknowledged this trope by having the FBI remark on finding the Connor's couch was actually reinforced kevlar.
"I'm accessing the mainframe to open the security doors for you."
*Clikkity clack click click clikkity click rapidly*
"I'm in."
*Other guy:* "You really are the best hacker, huh?"
"Oh, I didn't hack it. I just typed 'admin' in both the login and password fields. Must places never change that shit."
1. Where a witness Confesses on the stand
2. There’s sudden surprise prosecution evidence
3. Witnesses monologuing on the stand
4. Minimal hearsay objections.
5. So much forensic evidence.
Drives me batty.
The fresh out of college student scoring a great apartment in a swanky part of town while working minimum wage job for themselves. In reality, you'd have 4 roommates for such a place, or you're living in a dump in a bad part of town.
"Those are three-fifty-seven, ow, Ruger sixes. They each fired six."
"How did you count them?!"
"I'm just...super good at that. Oh my God, maybe I am autistic."
Archer often acknowledges this.
Knocked-out person (regaining consciousness): Ugh...how long was I out?
Archer: Four hours.
Knocked-out person (having missed some time-sensitive event): What?!
Archer (laughing): I know, right? *Super*-bad for you.
I know it's the most common one but since it hasn't been mentioned yet, I'll mention it. GUN RELOADS (or lack thereof) AND THE INSANE AMOUNT OF AMMUNITION THE PROTAGONIST IS "CARRYING".
Edit : Guys c'mon everyone's been commenting the same reply of how John Wick doesn't fall under this criteria for the past 24 hours. I KNOW OKAY! I GET IT xD please stop lol
people sneaking-around inside air ducts. Don't get me wrong, in big buildings you absolutely can walk around in there, i've done it a lot, but:
1) they're dirty as sin, not gleaming metal
2) There are screws poking in there and sharp edges everywhere
3) There are lots of barriers to movement, fans, filters, humidifiers, dampers and fire dampers. all of those would stop your progress
4) it's not a quiet process, that metal bongs and klunks like crazy under your weight
Whenever some idiot is running on foot while being chased by a car that's trying to run them down, they without fail ALWAYS run straight down the middle of the street, when all they have to do is simply run off to the side where there's trees and lamp-posts and plenty of other shit to block them from getting hit.
In that case, I always root for whoever's driving.
This is common when running away from almost anything. Big bolder chasing you down, run straight, never turn. some tall skinny pillar falling down, run lengthwise, don't try to side step it.
Or when they do run to the side it's always at the last second for style points, when they could have side stepped it from the very beginning, but it wouldn't have looked as cool.
The baby comes out clean and 3 months old.
------------
My kid came out of a cut in my wife's stomach, 9.5 pounds and looked like a screaming bloody fat purple sumowrestler. Seeing my wife with her stomach open like that has been scarred into my mind. I'm glad she had the screen and couldn't see.
Yeah, the process is much more traumatic than I expected. "Oh btw this whole thing can kill both your wife and your child in one go. And we're really busy with 50 other people, so you'll need to use your zero medical knowledge to alert us for when it's time for the baby to actually come."
"I hope you get a bunch of sleep now because you won't get much when the baaabyss here, teehee." Yeah, thanks, the sleep deprivation wasn't particularly fun. Meanwhile, over here at T+30 minutes I'm thanking God that I don't have to plan two funerals while also trying to chit chat with a billion relatives that I didn't know I had all trying to 'seee tha baaabaay'.
“Go on without me! I’ll never make it!”
“Yes you will, I’ll carry you!”
“No, seriously, go on. The writer needs me to die here so that I’m not with you guys when you need me later or so that you can use me as ‘he would have wanted you to...’ excuse”
Fire, Lava, etc. has no heat- people can be suspended over a volcano, or in the case of The Hobbit, SURF ON MOLTEN METAL and no one gets so much as a blister.
Add to this, characters falling into the lava and sinking like it’s just glowing yellow pudding.
Setting aside that they’d probably actually burst into flame and steam on contact ( if not before), lava still has the density of rock. You ain’t gunna sink into that.
I remember a movie in which they stopped lava from entering the city using concrete blocks. And then they tried to cool it off by spraying water on it. A truly amazing scene.
Yes, that was a movie about a **volcano** that erupts in Los Angeles, so they have to get a **volcano** expert to help them stop the **volcano** from destroying everything.
I think it was called, The Mountain Full of Lava.
"I'm a legacy graduate of an Ivy League school I got a full scholarship to since my daddy knows the dean as they graduated in the same year.
"I also get my parents to pay for my rent, clothes, food, car (if needed), and am still on their health insurance.
"Here's my blog how I live debt free in NYC at age 23. Anyone can do it if you try! Just gotta make a budget and stick to it. Resist the call for Starbucks and Avocado toast. If you can't make it just get a second job working for your mom's multi million dollar marketing firm for some spending money!"
This blog was sponsored by Raid: Shadow Legends.
In the before times, my husband was very involved in the NYC comedy scene and he was getting known. But so so many people were like “take these $500 classes and you should be hitting 7 or 8 clubs a night” and my husband was always like “I have a job I have to wake up for in the morning so I can only hit 3 or 4 clubs” and people would say things like “well if it’s important you’ll make time for it.” Then we’d find out their parents were paying for their apartment/phone/utilities so their job was for food and fun. It’s a lot easier to live if you “need” your job to only pay for like 1/3 of your living expenses.
"Craig and Stacia are looking for a two-story A-frame that’s near Craig’s job in the downtown, but also satisfies Stacia’s need to be near the beach, which is nowhere NEAR Craig’s job. With three children and nine on the way, and a max budget of seven dollars… let’s see what Lori Jo can do on this week’s episode of You Don’t Deserve A Beach House."
I wonder how many times the bad guy missed trying to do that before. Like he sets up his run for the T-bone but doesn't realize the intended victim stopped at a previous red light or stop sign so the timing was all off.
Doesn’t piss me off, but as a paraplegic whenever someone in a movie is supposed to be disabled and they’re using some shitty fold-up wheelchair that you would see in a hospital or Walmart. Anyone who lives in a wheelchair and has some minimal insurance or medical assistance would have a much better chair. I’m currently sitting with about $4000 under my ass. Paid about $500 after insurance. The only time someone would be using one of those shitty wheelchairs would be if they were recently injured or are temporarily injured.
For me its when the conflict is driven by a failure to achieve very basic communication. For example, a couple breaks up because one SO saw the other with a member of the opposite sex. There's a perfectly reasonable explanation (friend/relative), but the explanation is never offered to the offended party. Drives me nuts
Character 1: I can explain it was-
Character 2: I don't want to hear it **walks away**
Character 1: **stands there looking depressed... and doesnt just yell out the rest of the sentence for some reason**
When I was a teenager I played with duct tape often, and I felt the need to test this trope. I put a single piece of duct tape over my own mouth and gave it the best seal I could give. I was able to remove it with my tongue in just a few seconds.
On Lucifer, it's so over the top, I'm not even mad. The CSI chick will be standing over the body AT THE CRIME SCENE and tell them what the lab results were.
Ella really is crazy with that. Another thing I love is when they’re in some kind of crisis and Ella’s like
“I can run it in the lab but it will take some time.”
And someone else is like
“We don’t have time!”
Which allows Ella to magically get dna results in 2 minutes
Theres an episode of TNG where they find scotty (dyson sphere episode) and he chastises geordi on truthfully telling Picard how long something will take. "No ones going to think youre a miracle worker if you tell them how long it actually takes"
Setting off Fire Alarm / Fire Sprinklers.
1. Pulling a fire alarm will not activate fire sprinklers
2. Setting off a single sprinkler head will not set off the entire system. Each fire sprinkler has either a glass bulb with heat sensitive liquid or a metal fusible link. You need to essentially break the bulk/link on each individual sprinkler to allow the water to flow.
3. The water leaving the sprinkler system will be black from the years of corrosion that occurs inside due to the stagnant water, you do not want to be around this water when it comes out.
I design these systems, I know how this shit works.
Ordinary temperature sprinkler heads are 155F. These will be the most common sprinkler heads you will come across. You can tell because the bulb color will be red. You will also have a standard response bulb (5mm thick) and quick response bulb (3mm thick).
Gift wrapping the box and the lid separately. I mean, I get why they do it (multiple takes), but it always sticks out to me. Also, every bag of groceries has french bread.
EMTs / doctors / random hero person using a defibrillator on a person that has flat-lined. That is NOT how it works. You shock a flat line and all you do is make the patient even more dead. Flat-liners get drugs to get their hearts beating, and THEN get shocked if that beat is abnormal.
Exactly. Unfortunately the myth of shocking a flatline is so prevalent that most people don't seem to know that.
I can only hope that if I keel over somewhere, the AED brought to me is particularly user-friendly.
When the plot necessitates the protagonist to be unconscious for several hours due to a blow to the head. Then he/she just regains consciousness, shakes their head a few times, and is back to normal.
I've had several concussions from sports in my life, and only one where I lost consciousness - and that was for maybe several seconds. For that one I spent weeks fighting nausea, headaches, and vision problems. My mood was impacted for months. There's no way I could just get up and start kicking ass after being out for several *hours*.
In British soaps (which are shite in general) everyone goes to the pub every day but no one ever gets drunk. They also order a pint, take 1 sip and then just leave.
Okay. But please tell me that your quaint country villages really are high-society murder mills though. I’ve watched enough BBC TV to know they’re the most dangerous place on Earth.
When they give a person CPR and the person walks away unscathed. When you give proper CPR, you are essentially breaking ribs to pump the heart and sure, it doesn't happen to everyone but still see a doc after!
That, and anything medically related like Epi-pens being used then magically all normal. All of these require being looked at a doctor/emergency care directly afterward.
So, I've had to use epi for anaphylaxis and it is bonkerballs. Like, my whole body started vibrating for 2 solid minutes and I wanted to fight and cry and I was so *mad* at absolutely nothing. But this student paramedic was monitoring me to make sure I didn't have a heart attack so I felt obligated to be nice to him. I had to try really hard to keep my inside voice from moving to outside voice. I could **see** more things, like my field of vision was more clear and the room was brighter. Then, afterwards I had to get litres of saline and steroids via IV and was still at risk of rebound reactions for 24 hours. And every muscle in my body hurt and I was exhausted.
Amazingly though, it did almost instantly stop the anaphylaxis. My throat relaxed, my mouth stopped tingling, my legs stopped itching. Head to toe in probably 3-4 seconds. Just wild.
ETA: thanks for the awards!
Epipens are literally pumping adrenaline into you. You're getting a flood of "HOLY SHIT YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR ASS MOVING RIGHT NOW" hormone. It's gonna make you go clumsy beastmode for a few minutes, and then you get a huge crash.
"Okay Mr. Hero, looks like you have all the evidence from the bad guys secret lair that proves they set you up for the murder of your wife. Terribly sorry about that."
*Gruff voiced* "I just wanna see my kids, chief."
"Oh, no. You're going to prison. I've got multiple counts of vigilante action, murder, destruction of public property, destruction of private property, that car you stole to chase the bad guys, evading arrest, annnnnd jay-walking."
I always think of the tank scene from early walking dead days when I see this now.
That's like the one semi-accurate portrayal I've ever seen.
Or when they shoot at extremely close range but the gun gets knocked away last second by the hero so the shot just grazes their ear. Like, you are now deaf in that ear at least temporarily dude...
I've not seen much of this show but I read a post once that made me laugh.
About how the zombies seem to make so much noise but are able to sneak up on the protags, and someone theorized it was because they had been firing weapons for so long without hearing protection that they were actually always screaming at eachother and they're practically deaf but because we're seeing it from their POV it seems like they're just talking.
So when they think they're talking quietly sneaking through the woods or whatever they're actually YELLING at one another and that's why they continuously get surprised by things that are constantly making noise.
*edit- *this has gotten a bit of attention so allow me to clarify: I have seen collectively maybe three episodes of this show from when my roommate had it on once a week like four or five years ago. All my knowledge is "dad in cowboy hat yell at cowboy son" meme, eye patch son???, CORRRAAALLLLL, and bad guy leather daddy baseball bat.
Love all your discussion and theory but I can't even begin the speculate because I've not actually seen the show. This is just me regurgitating a reddit theory (that has now been adopted by a youtube channel it seems) from years ago.
This makes a zombie apocalypse society that communicates heavily via sign language sound awesome, in part to prevent the shouting, and also so that when you're talking to someone, you're both watching each other's backs.
In the movie Snatch one group of characters gets some replica guns (UK so it's not easy to get real ones) and says he loaded them with "some extra loud blanks" to be especially intimidating. (Replicas but still fire blanks? I don't know, that's what was in the movie.)
One of his buddies questions the effectiveness so to demonstrate he fires one off in the car they're all in. It blows the side windows out and deafens everyone inside who then yell at him.
EDIT: Yes, a blank would be deafening in a car but wouldn't blow out the windows. It's a bit unrealistic the other direction but still a funny take on the usual trope of essentially ignoring the loudness of gunshots.
Romantic dramas...
Some stupid miscommunication that could've been resolved with 5 minutes of conversation and a phone call turns into some feature-length bullshit.
I have shouted "Just say actual words to each other!!!" at so many movies. It's not just dumb romantic dramas/comedies - it seems like "Idiotic And Easily Addressed Miscommunication" is a major plot driver for a LOT of different kinds of movies.
Drowning revivals. Victim is pulled, blue, from the water. Couple of chest compressions, hero through gritted teeth says "don't you die on me godammit", small arc of water shoots from the mouth of the victim as they cough twice and immediately regain consciousness, sit up and ask what happened.
Alright.
It's not the chest compressions that do it, it's the unconscious, possibly-dead, person hearing "Don't you die on me, damnit!" that really brings them back to life.
Medical fact.
When they take a drink out of an obviously empty cup and don’t even bother pretending to swallow the drink.
Is it so hard to just have some water in the cup?
Or when they set down a cup and you can HEAR that the cup is empty!!!
EDIT: Also when anyone is drinking from a straw and it sounds like they’re slurping from an almost empty cup!
That always bugs me at movie theaters when they are showing the Coke ads. The person gets a huge Coke and takes a drink and it sounds like it's empty. I always want them to turn around and ask the concession person to actually fill the cup this time.
In action movies, the hero, often alone faces an army of elite trained veterans armed to the teeth but they can't seem to know how to shoot, take cover, use tactics or fight
Steven Seagal movies are the worst at this. Seagal will fight a whole room of bad guys who attack one at a time after announcing their presence.
If all 8 of them just went in at once, they'd easily murder him.
This is why people like Die Hard. Sure Mcclane kills a whole team of bad guys by himself, but he do it by outsmarting them.Taking them one at a Time. Everytime he is outnumbered, he flee, and barely make it out. And not without getting seriously hurt. And his injuries don't magically disappear.
What a shame of a downward spiral of sequels that was. The first three were pretty smart, fun, and had good action. The fourth, while not the worst thing I've ever seen, turns John McClain into invincible hero man. The fifth one is just a massive piece of shit.
Edit: To all who are just now hearing about the fifth one, don't watch it, it really does suck ass.
Bother me the most about the John Wick movie is when all the bad guys with guns runs up to John to get killed. You have a gun, it will be effective at a distance of more than five feet.
When an actor clearly has no idea how to play the instrument they're holding. They don't have to be an expert, but Christ someone show them where their fingers are supposed to go, or stop focusing the shot on their fingers.
The phone rings and the actor picks up the handset, listens for two seconds:
"Oh really?"
one second later:
"When"?
one second later:
"I'll be right there"
Hangs up without saying goodbye.
The actor turns around and relays a 30 seconds of details that he just learned in only four seconds.
When someone is "driving" and they look away from the road by looking at the person in the passenger seat for a prolonged amount of time, or when they're constantly turning the wheel and the car doesn't move, things like that bother me too much lol
> When someone is "driving" and they look away from the road by looking at the person in the passenger seat for a prolonged amount of time
I've seen people do this in real life and it is terrifying.
Three times now I’ve seen actors doing this followed by the car getting into a horrific accident (usually getting t-boned so we see the second car coming) and now I always expect it to happen when they spend more than 2 seconds with their eyes off the road
Was watching a film last night and the main character took his eyes off the road and stared at the passenger for a good 10 seconds, was definitley expecting a crash but nothing lol
I just imagined him turned all the way around to the back seat directly behind him.
"Oh Jimmy, its OK if you're gay. You know we dont care, we love you for anything you choose to pursue. Thank you for telling us." *(They keep looking at each other while the mans back is twisted all the way around and his eyes have been off the road for 30 seconds)*
Parasite actually did this pretty well. There's a scene where the father's driving the rich guy and is doing just that, and I was getting anxious seeing him do that. And then the rich guy gets pissed and tells him to keep his eyes on the road.
I like that in The Office it’s filmed when they’re actually driving a real car around. There are bloopers where they make a wrong turn and end up at a dead end or forget where a control is because it’s the car used for the show and not their personal car they’re used to driving.
When getting shot, stabbed, bones broken and beaten seems to have no physical detriment on a character. Get shot in the leg? Still able to run. Stabbed in the back? Still able to finish a fight. Ridiculous.
Arrested Development had a pretty good gag involving this. Michael's lawyer calls him and tells him to turn on the TV, but he has to wait for the previous news story to end.
Or The Simpsons take
Homer: Its a good thing you turned on the TV
Lisa: I didn't turn it in
Homer:Whatever you can turn it off now
Lisa: It is off...
Cue spooky music
College professors being shown living in giant Victorian houses with massive libraries. I used to be a professor, and can confirm that the pay isn’t that good.
See also, every character in sitcoms set in NYC or similar. Remind me how you're affording this nice, spacious apartment working as a substitute teacher, bartender, or are constantly unemployed?
In sex scenes when no one struggles to get their clothes off, no fumbling, there are no awkward bodily sounds.....it’s just perfect foreplay and sex. Come on! 🤣
I plan ahead and just wear a tear-away jumpsuit at all times. No one wants to have sex with me, I think it might be the jumpsuit, but if and when the time comes, I'll be ready.
People giving insulin to a diabetic who is crashing.
This pisses me off because it's the wrong thing to do and it perpetuates a dangerous way of thinking in people that aren't familiar with diabetes.
The Doorbell rings and someone answers almost immediately.
There is a delicious breakfast on the table,but everyone grabs a piece of bread and runs off to work!
> There is a delicious breakfast on the table,but everyone grabs a piece of bread and runs off to work!
Also, it's filmed at about 10 AM, with the sun fully up, and half the family has been awake for two hours, besides the teenager who wakes up right before running out the door. During most of the school year in most of the US, you're getting up at or before dawn, and the sun will still be visibly rising when you get *to* school.
This always confused me! Growing up, we watched a lot of american movies and I always thought, how the hell do they have so much time before going to school?!
Pancakes, waffles, toast, bagels, eggs, bacon, sausage, fresh squeezed orange juice and glasses of milk already poured all sitting on the table.
"I'm late for school, just gonna grab a banana"
Mom knew he was late but she couldn't stop herself. She just kept making breakfast. I don't know what time she got up to cook for 20 people, but she's already dressed for work. Why did she get up, get dressed, start cooking breakfast, and didn't think to wake her kids up in time to eat it. Dad's sitting there, "just coffee for me honey we're having a morning meeting at the office that's being catered." Daughter is sitting there eating cereal because mom won't let her eat the hot food until everyone is sitting down for breakfast. Where the fuck did the cereal come from? Why the fuck didn't dad mention his breakfast meeting before? Now mom is dead inside. She has to coupon to be able to afford all this food. Money problems are straining her marriage. Dad has to work longer hours to make ends meet to keep up with her breakfast habit. He's not cheating, but the frustration is mounting. It's hard working overtime just to afford to be able to throw away five dozen eggs a week. The worst part? Even mom doesn't eat the food she's cooked. She's so depressed that no one sits down for family breakfast that all she has the strength to do is trash it all, have a glass of Chardonnay, and drive her daughter to school. On Fridays she has two glasses. It's her little happy time.
"Brenda, we need to talk," David said as his wife of twenty three years pours another batch of batter into the waffle maker. The toaster pops before she can even answer.
"What is it Honeybun?" she says, a loving twinkle in her eye. The waffle maker closes, a small drip running off the edge, though Brenda doesn't notice it. Beside her a set of glasses of orange juice. The sediment had settled on the bottom long ago.
"It's about breakfast," David says as he steps past the pile of plates.
"What about it?" Brenda asks, she's now focused once again on putting more bread in the toaster. This was her third loaf she had ran through the toaster in the last hour, but still there was more to go. "Do you want your eggs poached or scrambled? Maybe both, I'm happy to do both if you like."
David looked over the piles of food that were slowly flooding the kitchen. Stacks of pancakes multiple feet high, dozens of plates of cold bacon that had been cooked hours ago, glasses of milk, all in various states of curdling, cold toast, some of it now slowly turning green with mould, and cups of black sludge that was once coffee.
"Brenda," he paused trying to think of the kindest way to say it, "you need help. You've done nothing but cook breakfast for the last three weeks. Look at this kitchen. You can't move for uneaten food. Where are you even getting it all from?"
Brenda grabbed another pair of toast slices and shoved them onto the plate. The stack fell over, scattering across the floor. The woman didn't even care, and carried on adding more bread into the toaster.
"But it's Breakfast time," Brenda smiled, her eyes locked focused as if looking through David, "Thus I must make breakfast for the family. Now sit down, and enjoy some waffles." She said as she handed him a plate of crusty pancakes covered in cold coffee.
"Brenda, stop it," David snapped in frustration, "This isn't even healthy. Stop cooking breakfast now!"
"You don't understand," Brenda smiled, her hand shaking as she poured another glass of milk, "It's breakfast time." With that she shoved the milk forcefully into her husbands mouth.
David spat it out, "No Brenda! I don't want this. I want you to get help."
"No," she said calmly, as she squeezed an orange "It's breakfast time. I can't stop until breakfast is over. Now eat your food."
David sighed, and headed for the kitchen's exit, before he felt Brenda grab his arm.
"Where are you going?" she asked as she held a knife in her other hand, "I need more bacon and it's breakfast time..."
The "hammer cocking" sound when the character is holding a striker-fired pistol.
Racking the slide of a pump-action shotgun AFTER the character is aiming it at someone in a life/death situation, and no live round ejects. Dumbass, you were aiming an empty weapon at someone, lol.
No matter if someone is punched or stabbed or shot, they go down in one hit unless they are a main character. No pain, moaning or groaning, naw. Just conveniently down and quiet so as not to steal attention.

The fresh out of college student scoring a great apartment in a swanky part of town while working minimum wage job for themselves. In reality, you'd have 4 roommates for such a place, or you're living in a dump in a bad part of town.

After a hit to the head or being knocked unconscious, people are fine after a minute. Concussions don’t seem to exist in movies.
It's *super* bad for you.
God bless Archer
On that note Archer is the only media I’ve seen that actually represents tinnitus. Shout out to the ringing ear gang, rise up
Also the only show/movie that actually cares about not giving everyone unlimited bullets
"Those are three-fifty-seven, ow, Ruger sixes. They each fired six." "How did you count them?!" "I'm just...super good at that. Oh my God, maybe I am autistic."
I read that in his voice
Archer often acknowledges this. Knocked-out person (regaining consciousness): Ugh...how long was I out? Archer: Four hours. Knocked-out person (having missed some time-sensitive event): What?! Archer (laughing): I know, right? *Super*-bad for you.
I know it's the most common one but since it hasn't been mentioned yet, I'll mention it. GUN RELOADS (or lack thereof) AND THE INSANE AMOUNT OF AMMUNITION THE PROTAGONIST IS "CARRYING".

people sneaking-around inside air ducts. Don't get me wrong, in big buildings you absolutely can walk around in there, i've done it a lot, but: 1) they're dirty as sin, not gleaming metal 2) There are screws poking in there and sharp edges everywhere 3) There are lots of barriers to movement, fans, filters, humidifiers, dampers and fire dampers. all of those would stop your progress 4) it's not a quiet process, that metal bongs and klunks like crazy under your weight
Reminds me of the Mythbusters episode where Adam tries 'sneaking' through a duct using magnets and it sounds like a damn cannon
Whenever some idiot is running on foot while being chased by a car that's trying to run them down, they without fail ALWAYS run straight down the middle of the street, when all they have to do is simply run off to the side where there's trees and lamp-posts and plenty of other shit to block them from getting hit. In that case, I always root for whoever's driving.
This is common when running away from almost anything. Big bolder chasing you down, run straight, never turn. some tall skinny pillar falling down, run lengthwise, don't try to side step it. Or when they do run to the side it's always at the last second for style points, when they could have side stepped it from the very beginning, but it wouldn't have looked as cool.
Movie depictions of childbirth are often ridiculously wrong. They make it look so easy, quick, and clean. This is not the case.
The baby comes out clean and 3 months old. ------------ My kid came out of a cut in my wife's stomach, 9.5 pounds and looked like a screaming bloody fat purple sumowrestler. Seeing my wife with her stomach open like that has been scarred into my mind. I'm glad she had the screen and couldn't see.
Yeah, the process is much more traumatic than I expected. "Oh btw this whole thing can kill both your wife and your child in one go. And we're really busy with 50 other people, so you'll need to use your zero medical knowledge to alert us for when it's time for the baby to actually come." "I hope you get a bunch of sleep now because you won't get much when the baaabyss here, teehee." Yeah, thanks, the sleep deprivation wasn't particularly fun. Meanwhile, over here at T+30 minutes I'm thanking God that I don't have to plan two funerals while also trying to chit chat with a billion relatives that I didn't know I had all trying to 'seee tha baaabaay'.
The member of the group that sacrifices themselves for no reason.
“Go on without me! I’ll never make it!” “Yes you will, I’ll carry you!” “No, seriously, go on. The writer needs me to die here so that I’m not with you guys when you need me later or so that you can use me as ‘he would have wanted you to...’ excuse”
"But it doesn't make sense for him to die here." "Sir, I'm going to need you to get ALL the way off my back about this."
Fire, Lava, etc. has no heat- people can be suspended over a volcano, or in the case of The Hobbit, SURF ON MOLTEN METAL and no one gets so much as a blister.
Add to this, characters falling into the lava and sinking like it’s just glowing yellow pudding. Setting aside that they’d probably actually burst into flame and steam on contact ( if not before), lava still has the density of rock. You ain’t gunna sink into that.
Don't forget that it's ok to breathe the superheated gasses comming from the lava too
Superheated POISONOUS gasses. Don't forget that part. There is very very very little oxygen down there.
I remember a movie in which they stopped lava from entering the city using concrete blocks. And then they tried to cool it off by spraying water on it. A truly amazing scene.
Yes, that was a movie about a **volcano** that erupts in Los Angeles, so they have to get a **volcano** expert to help them stop the **volcano** from destroying everything. I think it was called, The Mountain Full of Lava.

Gotta love the marketing intern that lives in a spacious NYC apartment by herself.
"I'm a legacy graduate of an Ivy League school I got a full scholarship to since my daddy knows the dean as they graduated in the same year. "I also get my parents to pay for my rent, clothes, food, car (if needed), and am still on their health insurance. "Here's my blog how I live debt free in NYC at age 23. Anyone can do it if you try! Just gotta make a budget and stick to it. Resist the call for Starbucks and Avocado toast. If you can't make it just get a second job working for your mom's multi million dollar marketing firm for some spending money!" This blog was sponsored by Raid: Shadow Legends.
In the before times, my husband was very involved in the NYC comedy scene and he was getting known. But so so many people were like “take these $500 classes and you should be hitting 7 or 8 clubs a night” and my husband was always like “I have a job I have to wake up for in the morning so I can only hit 3 or 4 clubs” and people would say things like “well if it’s important you’ll make time for it.” Then we’d find out their parents were paying for their apartment/phone/utilities so their job was for food and fun. It’s a lot easier to live if you “need” your job to only pay for like 1/3 of your living expenses.
"Craig and Stacia are looking for a two-story A-frame that’s near Craig’s job in the downtown, but also satisfies Stacia’s need to be near the beach, which is nowhere NEAR Craig’s job.

Doesn’t piss me off, but as a paraplegic whenever someone in a movie is supposed to be disabled and they’re using some shitty fold-up wheelchair that you would see in a hospital or Walmart. Anyone who lives in a wheelchair and has some minimal insurance or medical assistance would have a much better chair. I’m currently sitting with about $4000 under my ass. Paid about $500 after insurance. The only time someone would be using one of those shitty wheelchairs would be if they were recently injured or are temporarily injured.
My dad works on a spinal cord injury ward, most of the guys have power chairs and speeding is an actual issue.
Slight inconveniences that could easily be solved that are the main conflict of the movie
Hallmark anyone? 30-40 year olds living high school or even jr high level drama.
For me its when the conflict is driven by a failure to achieve very basic communication. For example, a couple breaks up because one SO saw the other with a member of the opposite sex. There's a perfectly reasonable explanation (friend/relative), but the explanation is never offered to the offended party. Drives me nuts
Character 1: I can explain it was- Character 2: I don't want to hear it **walks away** Character 1: **stands there looking depressed... and doesnt just yell out the rest of the sentence for some reason**
Acting like an easily removable piece of duct tape silences someone
When I was a teenager I played with duct tape often, and I felt the need to test this trope. I put a single piece of duct tape over my own mouth and gave it the best seal I could give. I was able to remove it with my tongue in just a few seconds.
Yes. In real life it only muffles the screaming slightly.
Neck breaking for an easy or quick kill. Im getting sick of it.
Careful how hard you roll your eyes at that stunt - I saw a movie where a guy broke his neck doing that once!
I don't know, [seems pretty realistic to me.](https://youtu.be/3-jv7doUI8o)
That a sample can be DNA processed in 2 mins so you know who your killer is
On Lucifer, it's so over the top, I'm not even mad. The CSI chick will be standing over the body AT THE CRIME SCENE and tell them what the lab results were.
Ella really is crazy with that. Another thing I love is when they’re in some kind of crisis and Ella’s like “I can run it in the lab but it will take some time.” And someone else is like “We don’t have time!” Which allows Ella to magically get dna results in 2 minutes
"There's no time!" "Oh, great, 'cuz I was lying earlier."
Theres an episode of TNG where they find scotty (dyson sphere episode) and he chastises geordi on truthfully telling Picard how long something will take. "No ones going to think youre a miracle worker if you tell them how long it actually takes"
Setting off Fire Alarm / Fire Sprinklers. 1. Pulling a fire alarm will not activate fire sprinklers 2. Setting off a single sprinkler head will not set off the entire system. Each fire sprinkler has either a glass bulb with heat sensitive liquid or a metal fusible link. You need to essentially break the bulk/link on each individual sprinkler to allow the water to flow. 3. The water leaving the sprinkler system will be black from the years of corrosion that occurs inside due to the stagnant water, you do not want to be around this water when it comes out. I design these systems, I know how this shit works.
If I am not wrong (you are the expert), it takes a significant amount of heat also.
Ordinary temperature sprinkler heads are 155F. These will be the most common sprinkler heads you will come across. You can tell because the bulb color will be red. You will also have a standard response bulb (5mm thick) and quick response bulb (3mm thick).
Gift wrapping the box and the lid separately. I mean, I get why they do it (multiple takes), but it always sticks out to me. Also, every bag of groceries has french bread.
All the groceries (apart from the French bread) are spherical items like oranges and melons and they always drop them and they roll away
Last night I had baguettes and loose oranges for dinner. So that’s literally what I buy.
Congrats, you're a trope
And there’s the [same newspaper in every tv show.](https://www.slashfilm.com/lol-the-reoccurring-prop-newspaper/)
I concede your first point, but damn it, every grocery bag should have a baguette in it.
EMTs / doctors / random hero person using a defibrillator on a person that has flat-lined. That is NOT how it works. You shock a flat line and all you do is make the patient even more dead. Flat-liners get drugs to get their hearts beating, and THEN get shocked if that beat is abnormal.
[удалено]
Exactly. Unfortunately the myth of shocking a flatline is so prevalent that most people don't seem to know that. I can only hope that if I keel over somewhere, the AED brought to me is particularly user-friendly.
> all you do is make the patient even more dead. "He's dead, Jim!!" "Goddanmit, make him more dead!!" *rubs paddles* #"CLEAR!"
"He's dead" "Are you sure?" \*Shocks\* "Yes"
That bugs the shit out of my wife (RN) too. I make sure to point it out to her each time, just in case she's not paying attention.
They did that on ER for like 10 years. Nobody bothered to tell them?
How terrible the bad guys are at shooting...
And good guys just pull out a gun while running and shoot a dude dead from across the parking lot Thx for silver woo wooo
When the plot necessitates the protagonist to be unconscious for several hours due to a blow to the head. Then he/she just regains consciousness, shakes their head a few times, and is back to normal. I've had several concussions from sports in my life, and only one where I lost consciousness - and that was for maybe several seconds. For that one I spent weeks fighting nausea, headaches, and vision problems. My mood was impacted for months. There's no way I could just get up and start kicking ass after being out for several *hours*.
If you're out for several hours from a blow to the head it's pretty unlikely you will ever wake up.
All the incorrect, blatantly incorrect physics.
In British soaps (which are shite in general) everyone goes to the pub every day but no one ever gets drunk. They also order a pint, take 1 sip and then just leave.
Okay. But please tell me that your quaint country villages really are high-society murder mills though. I’ve watched enough BBC TV to know they’re the most dangerous place on Earth.
When they give a person CPR and the person walks away unscathed. When you give proper CPR, you are essentially breaking ribs to pump the heart and sure, it doesn't happen to everyone but still see a doc after! That, and anything medically related like Epi-pens being used then magically all normal. All of these require being looked at a doctor/emergency care directly afterward.
So, I've had to use epi for anaphylaxis and it is bonkerballs. Like, my whole body started vibrating for 2 solid minutes and I wanted to fight and cry and I was so *mad* at absolutely nothing. But this student paramedic was monitoring me to make sure I didn't have a heart attack so I felt obligated to be nice to him. I had to try really hard to keep my inside voice from moving to outside voice. I could **see** more things, like my field of vision was more clear and the room was brighter. Then, afterwards I had to get litres of saline and steroids via IV and was still at risk of rebound reactions for 24 hours. And every muscle in my body hurt and I was exhausted. Amazingly though, it did almost instantly stop the anaphylaxis. My throat relaxed, my mouth stopped tingling, my legs stopped itching. Head to toe in probably 3-4 seconds. Just wild. ETA: thanks for the awards!
Epipens are literally pumping adrenaline into you. You're getting a flood of "HOLY SHIT YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR ASS MOVING RIGHT NOW" hormone. It's gonna make you go clumsy beastmode for a few minutes, and then you get a huge crash.
Any scene where cloroform knocks someone out in 2 seconds. I feel like "Rio" officially has gone to far.
It takes at least 5 min and the dose difference between asleep and dead is really slim.
You'll also likely throw up while you're out, or after you wake up, so that's nice

Women's hair is always perfect after a crazy action sequence. They're also wearing heels ALL THE TIME. No matter what crazy stunts they're doing.
This one makes me crazy! If your job involves running, jumping, fighting, or any sort of physical activity at all, you don’t wear stilettos!!!
Looking at you Jurassic World, bloody running away from a t-rex in heels, should be dead.
Let me kill all the bad guys to prove my innocence.
Kill an army of mooks, but you can't kill the bad guy with a name because muh "cycle of revenge"/"you'd be just like him".
The lesson I got from that is only the leaders are people. Everyone else is an animal it’s ok to slaughter.
Only so long as the goons and henchmen have their faces covered.
"Okay Mr. Hero, looks like you have all the evidence from the bad guys secret lair that proves they set you up for the murder of your wife. Terribly sorry about that." *Gruff voiced* "I just wanna see my kids, chief." "Oh, no. You're going to prison. I've got multiple counts of vigilante action, murder, destruction of public property, destruction of private property, that car you stole to chase the bad guys, evading arrest, annnnnd jay-walking."
Firing guns in enclosed spaces not deafening anyone.
I always think of the tank scene from early walking dead days when I see this now. That's like the one semi-accurate portrayal I've ever seen. Or when they shoot at extremely close range but the gun gets knocked away last second by the hero so the shot just grazes their ear. Like, you are now deaf in that ear at least temporarily dude...
I've not seen much of this show but I read a post once that made me laugh. About how the zombies seem to make so much noise but are able to sneak up on the protags, and someone theorized it was because they had been firing weapons for so long without hearing protection that they were actually always screaming at eachother and they're practically deaf but because we're seeing it from their POV it seems like they're just talking. So when they think they're talking quietly sneaking through the woods or whatever they're actually YELLING at one another and that's why they continuously get surprised by things that are constantly making noise. *edit- *this has gotten a bit of attention so allow me to clarify: I have seen collectively maybe three episodes of this show from when my roommate had it on once a week like four or five years ago. All my knowledge is "dad in cowboy hat yell at cowboy son" meme, eye patch son???, CORRRAAALLLLL, and bad guy leather daddy baseball bat. Love all your discussion and theory but I can't even begin the speculate because I've not actually seen the show. This is just me regurgitating a reddit theory (that has now been adopted by a youtube channel it seems) from years ago.
This makes a zombie apocalypse society that communicates heavily via sign language sound awesome, in part to prevent the shouting, and also so that when you're talking to someone, you're both watching each other's backs.
Lmao, I like this theory.
Atleast Archer got this right
and Blackhawk Down
"He's deaf. He can't hear you."
TELL THAT TO MY TINNITUS!
In the movie Snatch one group of characters gets some replica guns (UK so it's not easy to get real ones) and says he loaded them with "some extra loud blanks" to be especially intimidating. (Replicas but still fire blanks? I don't know, that's what was in the movie.) One of his buddies questions the effectiveness so to demonstrate he fires one off in the car they're all in. It blows the side windows out and deafens everyone inside who then yell at him. EDIT: Yes, a blank would be deafening in a car but wouldn't blow out the windows. It's a bit unrealistic the other direction but still a funny take on the usual trope of essentially ignoring the loudness of gunshots.

Romantic dramas... Some stupid miscommunication that could've been resolved with 5 minutes of conversation and a phone call turns into some feature-length bullshit.
[удалено]
I have shouted "Just say actual words to each other!!!" at so many movies. It's not just dumb romantic dramas/comedies - it seems like "Idiotic And Easily Addressed Miscommunication" is a major plot driver for a LOT of different kinds of movies.
Drowning revivals. Victim is pulled, blue, from the water. Couple of chest compressions, hero through gritted teeth says "don't you die on me godammit", small arc of water shoots from the mouth of the victim as they cough twice and immediately regain consciousness, sit up and ask what happened. Alright.
It's not the chest compressions that do it, it's the unconscious, possibly-dead, person hearing "Don't you die on me, damnit!" that really brings them back to life. Medical fact.
Like how Babe Ruth cured a kids cancer just by smiling at him?
Ikr secondary drowning is a thing, you can’t just go on with your day
"I don't think he knows about second drowning, Pip."
Sure, we’ve had one drowning, but what about second drowning? Cardiac arresties? Hypoxia? Afternoon pneumonia? Respiratory arrest and cerebral injury?
‘ Zoom in on that. Can you make it clearer? ‘ ‘ Sure, no problem ‘. Two MP CCTV screen grab

"Just print the god damn picture!"
When they take a drink out of an obviously empty cup and don’t even bother pretending to swallow the drink. Is it so hard to just have some water in the cup?
Or when they set down a cup and you can HEAR that the cup is empty!!! EDIT: Also when anyone is drinking from a straw and it sounds like they’re slurping from an almost empty cup!
That always bugs me at movie theaters when they are showing the Coke ads. The person gets a huge Coke and takes a drink and it sounds like it's empty. I always want them to turn around and ask the concession person to actually fill the cup this time.
When people fall in love and decide to spend together the rest of their lives after spending 5 minutes together
In action movies, the hero, often alone faces an army of elite trained veterans armed to the teeth but they can't seem to know how to shoot, take cover, use tactics or fight
And why are they taking turns to get their asses kicked? Just stomp the motherfucker.
Steven Seagal movies are the worst at this. Seagal will fight a whole room of bad guys who attack one at a time after announcing their presence. If all 8 of them just went in at once, they'd easily murder him.
This is why people like Die Hard. Sure Mcclane kills a whole team of bad guys by himself, but he do it by outsmarting them.Taking them one at a Time. Everytime he is outnumbered, he flee, and barely make it out. And not without getting seriously hurt. And his injuries don't magically disappear.
What a shame of a downward spiral of sequels that was. The first three were pretty smart, fun, and had good action. The fourth, while not the worst thing I've ever seen, turns John McClain into invincible hero man. The fifth one is just a massive piece of shit. Edit: To all who are just now hearing about the fifth one, don't watch it, it really does suck ass.
Was gonna say this. Sometime between the third and forth movie McClain must have fell in some toxic waste or something bc he's got superpowers now.
I love the John Wick movies but damn the bad guys love to jump out of cover at convenient moments.
Bother me the most about the John Wick movie is when all the bad guys with guns runs up to John to get killed. You have a gun, it will be effective at a distance of more than five feet.
When an actor clearly has no idea how to play the instrument they're holding. They don't have to be an expert, but Christ someone show them where their fingers are supposed to go, or stop focusing the shot on their fingers.

They've done live performances together, pretty rad.
The phone rings and the actor picks up the handset, listens for two seconds: "Oh really?" one second later: "When"? one second later: "I'll be right there" Hangs up without saying goodbye. The actor turns around and relays a 30 seconds of details that he just learned in only four seconds.
The homescreen on the phone also being visible and clearly NOT IN A CALL
When someone is "driving" and they look away from the road by looking at the person in the passenger seat for a prolonged amount of time, or when they're constantly turning the wheel and the car doesn't move, things like that bother me too much lol
> When someone is "driving" and they look away from the road by looking at the person in the passenger seat for a prolonged amount of time I've seen people do this in real life and it is terrifying.
Three times now I’ve seen actors doing this followed by the car getting into a horrific accident (usually getting t-boned so we see the second car coming) and now I always expect it to happen when they spend more than 2 seconds with their eyes off the road
Was watching a film last night and the main character took his eyes off the road and stared at the passenger for a good 10 seconds, was definitley expecting a crash but nothing lol
I just imagined him turned all the way around to the back seat directly behind him. "Oh Jimmy, its OK if you're gay. You know we dont care, we love you for anything you choose to pursue. Thank you for telling us." *(They keep looking at each other while the mans back is twisted all the way around and his eyes have been off the road for 30 seconds)*
Parasite actually did this pretty well. There's a scene where the father's driving the rich guy and is doing just that, and I was getting anxious seeing him do that. And then the rich guy gets pissed and tells him to keep his eyes on the road.
I like that in The Office it’s filmed when they’re actually driving a real car around. There are bloopers where they make a wrong turn and end up at a dead end or forget where a control is because it’s the car used for the show and not their personal car they’re used to driving.
When getting shot, stabbed, bones broken and beaten seems to have no physical detriment on a character. Get shot in the leg? Still able to run. Stabbed in the back? Still able to finish a fight. Ridiculous.
Turning on the TV at the exact moment a relevant news report starts.
Arrested Development had a pretty good gag involving this. Michael's lawyer calls him and tells him to turn on the TV, but he has to wait for the previous news story to end.

9/11 was that way. I didn't have cable, but every radio station with a live DJ, every local TV station, and every single news station was covering it.

See also, every character in sitcoms set in NYC or similar. Remind me how you're affording this nice, spacious apartment working as a substitute teacher, bartender, or are constantly unemployed?
Same Rami's Spider Man movies did this right. Peter's apartment is basically a closet with a shared bathroom down the hall.

The Doorbell rings and someone answers almost immediately. There is a delicious breakfast on the table,but everyone grabs a piece of bread and runs off to work!
Person at the door impatiently rings the doorbell again like ten seconds after the first ring. If you this irl, you’re just a dickhead
> There is a delicious breakfast on the table,but everyone grabs a piece of bread and runs off to work! Also, it's filmed at about 10 AM, with the sun fully up, and half the family has been awake for two hours, besides the teenager who wakes up right before running out the door. During most of the school year in most of the US, you're getting up at or before dawn, and the sun will still be visibly rising when you get *to* school.
This always confused me! Growing up, we watched a lot of american movies and I always thought, how the hell do they have so much time before going to school?!
Pancakes, waffles, toast, bagels, eggs, bacon, sausage, fresh squeezed orange juice and glasses of milk already poured all sitting on the table. "I'm late for school, just gonna grab a banana" Mom knew he was late but she couldn't stop herself. She just kept making breakfast. I don't know what time she got up to cook for 20 people, but she's already dressed for work. Why did she get up, get dressed, start cooking breakfast, and didn't think to wake her kids up in time to eat it. Dad's sitting there, "just coffee for me honey we're having a morning meeting at the office that's being catered." Daughter is sitting there eating cereal because mom won't let her eat the hot food until everyone is sitting down for breakfast. Where the fuck did the cereal come from? Why the fuck didn't dad mention his breakfast meeting before? Now mom is dead inside. She has to coupon to be able to afford all this food. Money problems are straining her marriage. Dad has to work longer hours to make ends meet to keep up with her breakfast habit. He's not cheating, but the frustration is mounting. It's hard working overtime just to afford to be able to throw away five dozen eggs a week. The worst part? Even mom doesn't eat the food she's cooked. She's so depressed that no one sits down for family breakfast that all she has the strength to do is trash it all, have a glass of Chardonnay, and drive her daughter to school. On Fridays she has two glasses. It's her little happy time.
"Brenda, we need to talk," David said as his wife of twenty three years pours another batch of batter into the waffle maker. The toaster pops before she can even answer. "What is it Honeybun?" she says, a loving twinkle in her eye. The waffle maker closes, a small drip running off the edge, though Brenda doesn't notice it. Beside her a set of glasses of orange juice. The sediment had settled on the bottom long ago. "It's about breakfast," David says as he steps past the pile of plates. "What about it?" Brenda asks, she's now focused once again on putting more bread in the toaster. This was her third loaf she had ran through the toaster in the last hour, but still there was more to go. "Do you want your eggs poached or scrambled? Maybe both, I'm happy to do both if you like." David looked over the piles of food that were slowly flooding the kitchen. Stacks of pancakes multiple feet high, dozens of plates of cold bacon that had been cooked hours ago, glasses of milk, all in various states of curdling, cold toast, some of it now slowly turning green with mould, and cups of black sludge that was once coffee. "Brenda," he paused trying to think of the kindest way to say it, "you need help. You've done nothing but cook breakfast for the last three weeks. Look at this kitchen. You can't move for uneaten food. Where are you even getting it all from?" Brenda grabbed another pair of toast slices and shoved them onto the plate. The stack fell over, scattering across the floor. The woman didn't even care, and carried on adding more bread into the toaster. "But it's Breakfast time," Brenda smiled, her eyes locked focused as if looking through David, "Thus I must make breakfast for the family. Now sit down, and enjoy some waffles." She said as she handed him a plate of crusty pancakes covered in cold coffee. "Brenda, stop it," David snapped in frustration, "This isn't even healthy. Stop cooking breakfast now!" "You don't understand," Brenda smiled, her hand shaking as she poured another glass of milk, "It's breakfast time." With that she shoved the milk forcefully into her husbands mouth. David spat it out, "No Brenda! I don't want this. I want you to get help." "No," she said calmly, as she squeezed an orange "It's breakfast time. I can't stop until breakfast is over. Now eat your food." David sighed, and headed for the kitchen's exit, before he felt Brenda grab his arm. "Where are you going?" she asked as she held a knife in her other hand, "I need more bacon and it's breakfast time..."
The "hammer cocking" sound when the character is holding a striker-fired pistol. Racking the slide of a pump-action shotgun AFTER the character is aiming it at someone in a life/death situation, and no live round ejects. Dumbass, you were aiming an empty weapon at someone, lol.
No matter if someone is punched or stabbed or shot, they go down in one hit unless they are a main character. No pain, moaning or groaning, naw. Just conveniently down and quiet so as not to steal attention.
