Line 252:
* In the 1990s ''[[Incredible Hulk]]'' animated series, the military would invariably show up and ruin everything at the exact moment Bruce Banner was undergoing a procedure that would eliminate the Hulk once and for all. If they wanted to get rid of the Hulk so badly, they could have left him alone.
** Of course, this assumes that the military was watching the cartoon. That they're in. General Ross was convinced Banner was a dangerous villain, it was sort of the point of his character, it's not like he could read that week's script and say "Oh, if we don't interrupt him Banner will cure himself, let's just stay home this week."
*** This works for the first few times, but if General Ross ''never'' clues in after multiple attempts then he is legitimately guilty of professional negligence; one of the things his military intelligence people and scientific advisors ''should'' be doing is analyzing the bits that Banner keeps leaving behind to try and figure out what he's up to (if the guy you believe is a dangerous monster keeps trying to do something, then by your own logic its a potential danger and needs to be paid attention to), and after collecting enough bits a pattern should start to be obvious.
* There is not an episode of ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'' which couldn't have been solved or averted by creating the standing wish of "always warn me before any wish that might take away my power to make wishes" and then just flat undoing anything left. Of course, both protagonist Timmy and fairy godparent Cosmo are ''supposed'' to be idiots. One episode actually commented on this concept. One time Timmy wishes that he loses his emotions and after that, has nothing to do but think. He comes to the conclusion that "the reason they couldn't build a boat on ''Gilligan's Island'' is because it would end the series...", which is somewhat similar to ''his'' situation.
** This was at its absolute worst in the episode where Timmy enters the TV. They didn't even give him some paper-thin reason as to why he couldn't wish the remote back to him and away from Vicky. It's never even ''mentioned.''
