Negative Continuity: Difference between revisions

Line 199:
* Very few things that happened in episodes of ''[[Ren and Stimpy]]'' carried on into later episodes (they lived in a different place every episode), but one of the things that did get carried from episode to episode was Stimpy's first material possession (a litter box)... until it was destroyed.
* ''[[Kim Possible]]'' had mostly a negative continuity. [[Character Development]] was [[Status Quo Is God|always nullified]], the destroyed [[Supervillain Lair|Supervillain Lairs]] were always rebuilt, etc. The reason was admittedly that the creators didn't care much about continuity. This was however changed during [[Post Script Season]].
* ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' is very guilty of this, but averts it with the episodes with [[Boisterous Bruiser|The Scotsman]].{{context}}
* Just about every ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' episode has Negative Continuity. In one, Squidward and SpongeBob were turned into snails, and in another they were turned into fruit and about to be eaten by the Flying Dutchman. Seems to be happening a lot less often in the newer seasons, but definitely true of the first few, at least.
* ''[[Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi]]'', given that the premise seemed to be to just put the character in [[Played for Laughs|antic inducing situations for 7 minutes]], and then start anew in the next short. It does become a bit of a head scratcher when skills the two have acquired simply vanish, and little bits are blatantly reversed-- such as Yumi's fear of squirrels in Season 1 paired with her love and devotion to squirrels in Season 2. Also Kaz's love of watching professional paint drying, contrasted with his later attitude of what a waste of time it is.
