Beware the Silly Ones/Playing With: Difference between revisions

Line 18:

* '''Enforced''': The writer created the villain wanting to trick the viewers into thinking the villain is harmless.

* '''Lampshaded''': "Have you ever noticed how it's always the ''stupid'' ones you have to look out for?"

* '''Invoked''': "Oh, come on! Does anyone ''really'' believe a guy who calls himself Dr. Mephistop[[Godwin's Law|hitler]] spends his days [[Pet the Dog|playing with puppies]] and [[Go Karting With Bowser|playing video games with the local law enforcement]]? What about that shipment of 5,000 metric tons of [[Unobtainium]] he had shipped to his hidden volcano base just yesterday, huh? Or that tanker full of [[Made of Explodium|Explodium]] that vanished in the Pacific less than 10 miles from his Island Resort ''[[Doomy Dooms of Doom|Of Doom]]?''"

* '''Invoked''': "Oh, come on! Does anyone ''really'' believe a guy who calls himself Dr. Mephistop[[Godwin's Law|hitler]] spends his days [[Pet the Dog|playing with puppies]] and [[Go-Karting With Bowser|playing video games with the local law enforcement]]? What about that shipment of 5,000 metric tons of [[Unobtainium]] he had shipped to his hidden volcano base just yesterday, huh? Or that tanker full of [[Made of Explodium|Explodium]] that vanished in the Pacific less than 10 miles from his Island Resort ''[[Doomy Dooms of Doom|Of Doom]]?''"

* '''Defied''': The villain acts serious wanting to be taken seriously.

* '''Discussed''': "You have to wonder about [[Monster Clown|The Greasepainter]]. I mean, sure, ''now'' he's making silly faces and balloon animals for the kids, and he hasn't pulled off one of his crazy world domination schemes in months, but what about last week, when we spotted him less than a block from that armed car robbery? Or the stuff he does in the basement [[Noodle Implements|with those cats and that Tesla coil]]? And I could ''swear'' I heard him [[Ax Crazy|muttering "kill 'em all" under his breath]]. Something tells me we should keep an eye on him."
