Line 100:
* The Ponzi scheme arc on [[Two and A Half Men]]. Alan rips off his family and friends, only feels a token amount of guilt, and when Rose offers to pay him so he can pay everyone back in return for not telling Charlie that Rose made up being married to make Charlie want her, he gets all pissy because he doesn't want to lie to his brother. [[Flat What|What]]? He just scammed his brother out of thousands of dollars, was planning on scamming Rose for the money, and was planning on using the information to blackmail Rose so she wouldn't tell about his scam, and now he chooses to act like [[Not So Different|he's any more moral than Rose]]? Granted, Alan has decayed a lot as a character. He started as the [[Henpecked Husband]] and voice of reason to being a [[Straw Loser]] and [[Butt Monkey]], but at this point, he [[Moral Event Horizon|becomes completely irredeemable]].
** Ok, so Judith kicks Herb out of her house because he followed Charlie's advice to put his foot down and stand up against Judith's abusive behavior. Alan hears about this, grins sadistically when he thinks about how the harpy bitch that constantly screws up his life is suffering, and later, goes to her house. Most viewers were expecting Alan to rub it in her face. Instead it ends up with Alan comforting her, and getting back with Judith, like if [[Idiot Ball|he forgot all the shit she put him through up to this point]]. [[Status Quo Is God|Of Course]], it ends with Judith breaking it up again, going back with Herb and remaining an abusive harpy for the rest of the series, [[Karma Houdini|never getting any comeuppance whatsoever for her actions]]. There should be a limit to how much one can [[Turn the Other Cheek]].
* The finale of [[Seinfeld]]. While visiting another town, the gang watches a guy get mugged and do nothing, so a nearby cop, instead of arresting the mugger, arrests them for not abiding by some Good Samaritan Law. The prosecution decides that this is some huge landmark case that is more important than a serial killer, and starts to bring in people that the gang pissed off as witnesses. The prosecutor claimed it was establishing a pattern of behavior that the gang showed when not helping the mugging victim. That may have been acceptable for a couple of people, but then they pull in people who had stupid reasons for hating them, people who have their own assumptions of the gangs actions, and even a guy who, according to Jerry, left America for parts unknown! Then when the gang gets found guilty, everyone cheers and the judge delivers a [[Reason You Suck Speech]] to the gang. The fact that the prosecution was allowed to pull in every character who had ever been on the show is incredibly stupid. [[
* To say [[X-Play]] has [[Seasonal Rot|suffered in recent years]] would be an [[Understatement]]. One moment that annoyed me was when they did [[Take That|Your Childhood Sucks]]: [[Final Fantasy VII]]. Not because they [[He Panned It, Now He Sucks|panned it]], but they picked the most asinine reasons to do so. The rant consisted of nothing but nitpicks about the graphics ([[Wall Banger|despite being made in 1997]]), the music, the random battles (which is like complaining about reloading in a FPS), and how muched they hated [[Fan Hater|the people who liked it]]. In a nutshell, they pretty much said "This game sucks for being a JRPG made in the 90s."
** A DMOS for this troper regarding the above is that not another single "Your Childhood Sucks" really made another appearance after I believe one more entry. So it was kind of an excuse to bash maybe two games.
