Line 97:
* It's arguable that the humor in Australian mockumentary ''[[We Can Be Heroes]]'' derives from the patheticness of the characters.
* ''[[Everybody Loves Raymond]]'', to some extent. There are no more than token efforts to solve the [[Dysfunction Junction]] situation. Ray is a wuss when it comes to standing up to his wife and mother, although he does get better at this in the later seasons; Frank is an insensitive [[Jerkass]]; Deborah is a mean, overly angry housewife; Robert is a self-loathing whiner who expresses [[Wangst]] despite the fact that he's in his forties; and Marie is simply the personification of the devil who uses guilt to get what she wants in addition to being meddlesome.
* ''[[Dinner: Impossible]]'' could be fairly accurately summarized as "Food Network tries to kill Robert Irvine." ''[[Restaurant: Impossible]]'' allows him to spread the suffering around a bit more.
** From the same network, a lot of the "Food Network Specials" basically consist of the audience waiting for the cake to fall over.
** Or shows like ''[[Chopped]]'' and ''[[Cupcake Wars]]'' which is a stage by stage elimination show where 3 out of 4 chefs dreams gets crushed one chef at a time.
