Line 28:
* In ''[[Star Wars|The Empire Strikes Back]]'', Darth Vader goes through several commanding officers, often [[You Are in Command Now|promoting the person under them in the process]]. One amusing scene has him force strangle the elderly Admiral Ozzel who [[You Have Failed Me...|had failed him]] while talking with his ship's Captain, Piett. As the admiral gasps his last, he then says "You are in charge now, ''Admiral'' Piett", having promoted him on the spot. Piett's face is priceless as he doesn't know whether to look grateful or worried.
** The Prequels have the Jedi High Council which over the course of 13 years goes through half their original twelve members. Some positions even had to be replaced more than once.
** Arguably worse than the ''[[24]]'' example mentioned below is the position of Queen of Naboo. Granted it is stated to be an elective monarchy with monarchs serving two four-year terms and they can step when they want, but that doesn't change fact in Legends Naboo had four queens over the course of less than two terms. <ref> [[The Phantom Menace]] took place months into Queen Amidala's first term and afterwards she served the maximum eight years before stepping down. The Next Monarch was Queen Jamillia from [[Attack Of The Clones]] who served the minimum four years before being replaced by Queen Neeyutnee from ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars]]''. Neeyutnee was in turned replaced by Queen Apailana from ''[[Revenge Of The Sith]]'' after maybe one year or so (The Clone Wars officially occurred over three years) but Apailana was assassinated by The 501st Legion only one year after that movie in ''[[Star Wars: Battlefront (series)| Battlefront II]]'' and got replaced by Queen Klyantha. That adds up to about 7 years with four queens. </ref>
* Mr. Thackeray was one of a string of teachers in ''[[To Sir, With Love]]''; the kids drove one of his predecessors to suicide.
* The live-action ''[[Casper the Friendly Ghost|Casper]]'' movie. The villainess brings in a priest, ''[[Ghostbusters|Ray Stantz]]'' and even a wrecking crew. Eventually, the protagonist's father, a psychic psychiatrist, is contacted to try and exorcise the house.
* [[This Is Spinal Tap|Spinal Tap]]'s drummers have a tendency to expire in a number of strange ways. Two of them spontaneously combusted.
* ''[[The Addams Family|Addams Family Values]]''. The family go through nannies at such a rate, the agency finally suggests they get a
* The therapists [[Good Will Hunting|Will Hunting]] goes through before Robin Williams comes along.
* ''[[Rango]]'' discovers that the position of sheriff of the town of Dirt is like this, complete with a brief shot of a cluster of graves in the town cemetery.
