Red and White Comedy Poster: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

We've all seen them. The posters featuring the unlucky Average Joe protagonist, usually in a compromising position, set against a white background. The title will be written in big, bold red letters, almost always in the [[Useful Notes/Fonts|Futura or Impact font]].

Use of this format seems to have declined since the late Noughties, and it may be on the way to becoming a [[Discredited Trope]], thanks to some notable offenders that use this style tainting the audience's expectations.
