Contrast:
- Necessary Weasel - An unrealistic trope which the audience expects to be there.
- Stylistic Suck - Making a work/art style etc. bad on purpose.
- Who Writes This Crap? - When a show's writing is criticized In-Universe.
- They Just Didn't Care - When the audience feels that the creators weren't even making an effort.
- Intended Audience Reaction - An attempt to intentionally evoke a reaction from the audience.
Not to be mistaken for Writers Suck, which has more to do with Butt Monkeys than bad writing.
