Line 1:

* Harry Kim from ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' and his habit of dying and coming back to life. It's been exaggerated by the fans, though, to the point where someone who only knew the show through its fans would think Harry's grave says "Harry Kim: Born: 2341. Died: 2371, 2372, 2373, 2374..."
* ''[[Stargate]]'':
**
** ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'': Samantha Carter [[Remember When You Blew Up a Sun?|blew up a sun]]. ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'': Rodney McKay blew up a solar system (''though he'd like to remind you that it was actually just five sixths of it''). ''[[Stargate Universe]] '': Nicholas Rush dialed an untested address into a gate, marooning him and most of his coworkers on an ancient ship and blowing up a planet in the process. Let's just assume that being hired as a scientist by Stargate Command requires high knowledge of [[Stuff Blowing Up]].
** Everett Young beat the crap out of Rush and left him to die on a desolate planet. The civilian population on the ship [[The Mutiny|didn't take it too kindly.]]
* A recurring joke about the Daleks in ''[[Doctor Who]]'' was their inability to go up stairs. This weakness was addressed in the 1988 serial 'Remembrance of the Daleks', but the jokes persisted at least up until 2005, when 'Dalek' -- which also addressed this point -- was shown. It's perhaps worth pointing out that, by the time the first story aired, the audience of ''Doctor Who'' was roughly three guys and a dog, so it's possible that not enough people actually saw it for the change to sink in.
Line 86 ⟶ 87:
* Ben Wyatt of ''[[Parks and Recreation]]'' won a brief measure of nationwide fame when he rode a wave of local anti-incumbent sentiment and got elected mayor of his town at the tender age of 18. He got some more fame when he bankrupted his town and got impeached after a month. Needless to say, he doesn't like being reminded of it, which any citizen with a search engine is happy to do.
