Narm/Live-Action TV: Difference between revisions

Line 31:

* It's alluded to in the main page, but now that everything's been split off, the [[Trope Namer]] from ''[[Six Feet Under]]'' should have its own entry.

{{quote| '''Nate''': "My arm's numb... Numb arm. Numb arm. Narm. Narm..." [[Wall Banger (Darth Wiki)|* THUD* ]]}}

* In the ''[[~~Babylon 5 (TV)|~~Babylon 5]]'' episode "A late delivery from Avalon", {{spoiler|when the faux-King Arthur Laments: "I was responsible...Their armor was not strong enough to protect them... Their horses were on fire!"}}

** In the episode "Moments of Transition," the denouement, in which Neroon makes a [[Heroic Sacrifice]], is just packed with Narm, especially since it turns into a three-way [[Ham to Ham Combat]] between Neroon, Delenn, and Shakiri.

** War Without End, Part 1: Ivanova's distress call from the future. Narm-tastically over-the-top.

Line 227:

** Nathan's beard at the beginning of season 2.

** Peter's Season One Bangs. I couldn't even take the climactic scene of the final seriously, all the emotional weight just got nullified by the all encompassing Bangs!Narm. I was pissed, actually.

* A normal occurrence on several [[Perp Sweating]] scenes in many a [[Crime Time Soap]] that happens to state that [[New Media Are Evil]], at least to anyone who has some understanding of this new media. Moreso after a few years have passed, and we get to hear Ice-T refer to videogames as "[[Ultra Super Death Gore Fest Chainsawer 3000|magical rape land]]" in reruns long after any fear is long gone.

* ''[[John From Cincinnati]]'' had a few. One example is when Butchie calls his ex-girlfriend on the cell phone and insults her, making her hang up in his face. A few minutes later, he calls her again only to repeat the ''same'' insult. He repeats the process a few times.

* One particularly tense scene near the end of the first season of ''[[The Wire]]'' had emotionally-torn drug dealer D'Angelo repeatedly shouting "Where's Wallace?" at his boss. In some countries, this can get undermined because Wallace is the long form of Wally, and there are "Where's Wally?" books . . .

Line 329:

{{quote| ''"I LIIIVE in your '''SOOOOOOUUUUULLL!!!''' Like a CAAAAAGED BIRD!!! But SOMETIMES, the DOOOOOR is left OOOOOPEN!!"''}}

* ''[[Chuck]]''. Every time he decides to get anywhere with Sarah, BAM--Bryce Larkin. It's supposed to be a dramatic moment, every time. They put Matthew Bomer's name in the opening credits, guaranteeing that either we get a flashback episode or he's gonna appear in the end. It's usually the latter. No surprise.

* ''[[~~Twenty Four~~ (TV)|Twenty Four]]''. twice during day 4, the son of the Secretary of State gets brought into CTU under suspicion of working with the terrorists. Each time, he cries and whines to most hilariously Narmy levels. "YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! THIS IS ILLEGAL!" It gets even worse towards the end of the season with [[The Reveal]] that "the secret he's been holding back", which CTU has spent hours torturing him to get him to divulge, is that {{spoiler|he's bisexual.}}

** {{spoiler|Wayne Palmer's}} cerebral hemorrhage in series 6 is quite narmish to some.

Line 477:

{{quote| I must find her! How can I find her?! ...Dance... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnHmoaRB8pg I can DANCE!!!]}}

* ''[[Yo Gabba Gabba]]'' manages to have this. Normally it would be overlooked because it is a show for preschoolers. But in the episode "Careful," Plex is temporarily shut down because he was hit by a ''snowball'' by Muno. Everyone else proceeds to sing about not throwing things at friends. Was there ice in that snowball, or is ''[[Yo Gabba Gabba]]'' trying to eliminate snowball fights?

* ''[[~~Dollhouse (TV)|~~Dollhouse]]'': "Omega, why did you hit me with a pipe?"

* ''[[Dollhouse]]'': "Omega, why did you hit me with a pipe?"

* There was a microwave instructional video played in some home economics classes that showed a girl putting a donut in a microwave. After she pressed the start button, the video then showed footage of the atomic bomb exploding.

* A local TV station in Columbus, Ohio once aired a negative review of the film 1941, given by a strait-laced newscaster. She tried to be indignant as she asked, "What is so funny about the inability to make a bowel movement?" but came off as unintentionally hilarious.

* Mentally-ill Selwyn in ''Moses Jones'' explains that some thugs, who he refers to as demons, "Ironed him! With a... [long pause]... iron!" It's probably the accent.

* ''[[Blake's Seven ~~(TV)~~|Blakes Seven]]''. Three words. Brian the Spider.

* ''[[Blake's Seven|Blakes Seven]]''. Three words. Brian the Spider.

* From ''[[Farscape (TV)|Farscape]]'': when Crichton discovers the reason why Zhaan was an imprisoned convict, he decides to shout the information back at her. Twice. "You '''killed''' the man you were having '''sex''' with!" The line is bad enough, but the way he stresses the words makes it sound as though he considers having sex with someone is just as horrific as killing them afterwards.

** A lot of Ben Browder's line deliveries can count as this.
