Compressed Vice/Playing With: Difference between revisions

* '''Exaggerated''': By the end of the episode, Bob is in the hospital, dying of emphysema and/or cancer.

* '''Justified''':

** The need for [[Character Development]] in a show that has little in the way of continuity.

* '''Inverted''': Bob, who has chain-smoked his way through the whole series, has his last cigarette and effortlessly goes cold turkey.

** Bob doesn't smoke in-series.

** Bob smokes, but the effects are either neglected, or presented more realistically (over time, not instantaneously)

* '''Invoked''': The tobacco company adds something to the cigarettes they make to produce addiction (and thus [[Money, Dear Boy|generate revenue]]) faster.

* '''Defied''': "What, were you expecting me to have just started up smoking like a chimney over night? Get real."
