Line 141:
* "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" from [[Community]]. I haven't completely seen Season 2, but so far this is Pierce's worst moment. Imagine if [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic S 1 E 25 Party Of One|Party of One]] was done by Pikie Pie being a dillhole to someother pony instead of the main plot. In it, Pierce doesn't get invited to a Dungeons and Dragons game by Jeff to cheer up a possibly suicidal classmate named "Fat Neil" [[Fridge Logic|who the narrotor keeps calling him]]. Pierce's D&D character steals Neil's sword he worked hard for and wipes his privates on it and humps it and loads over that Neil has no friends and is fat. This, as someone who got bullied, a very painful experience and wanted to knock that fucking asshole's teeth out.
** I second that, Pierce is supposed to be a dick but he is just so cartoonishly, pointlessly evil in this episode it just throws everything out of order. The series had been building towards a real low moment for Pierce but seemed to jump ahead another six episodes worth of developement in this episode. It makes his behaviour in Celebrity Pharmacology seem reasonable and to an extent it was. He was obviously just desperate for attention and the addiction was messing with his head, hence the teaching kids bad lessons and paying off Annie. Please correct me if I'm wrong since I haven't seen it in a while but he seemed to redeem himself in the end of Celebrity Pharmacology making this derailment far worse.
* The ''[[CSI: Crime Scene Investigation]]'' episode "Sounds of Silence," featured Sara and Warrick being unforgiveably - and uncharacteristically - rude to a deaf person in the course of their investigation. You could cite ignorance of the deaf community as one of the factors, but it's just simple courtesy to not ignore the person you're talking to in favor of the translator (and you'd think the translator would at least make them aware of this before they started their interview). The whole situation seemed to be designed purely as a setup for the reveal that Grissom knows sign language, and it just seemed like there could have been a better way to do it other than having our characters pick up an [[Idiot Ball]].
* The ''[[Boston Legal]]'' episode where Denny shoots a homeless guy with a paintball gun. Yeah, he was [[What the Hell, Hero?|called on it repeatedly]], but the willful jump from "[[Crazy Awesome|loveable nut]]" to "[[Jerkass|smug, unrepentant asswipe]]" was jarring.
* I know it's rather odd seeing a [[Disney Channel]] show being on this page, but this troper recently watched an [[A.N.T. Farm]] episode that pretty much made this troper give up on [[Disney Channel]] completely. In the new episode PatANT, the [[Alpha Bitch]] of the show goes through a "Boy Who Cried Wolf plot" pretending to be hurt and everybody believed it. But in the end, she actually does break her legs. So what does the cast do? [[Kick the Dog|They just fucking leave her there, now not believing her.]] Holy hell, Disney, I know she was an [[Alpha Bitch]], but come the fuck on! That's just fucking harsh, even for a Disney Channel show. [[What Happened to the Mouse?|And did I mention that this is the last we see of her, which means we don't know what happens to her?]] They were trying to force us to think she deserved it, but it's just [[Disproportionate Retribution]], plain and simple. It's just sad how Disney Channel went from teaching life lessons to sadistic comedy like this on their shows.
