Line 29:
* Let's say that you're confronting a [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] who's ruined your life by putting kiddie porn on your computer. You put a gun, given to you by a mysterious benefactor, to her head [[Just Between You and Me|and explain why you're about to kill her]], and she offers to give you and your kids enough money to start over on the condition that you give her the gun so she can use it to find out who your benefactor is. Do you accept this offer? If you say no, you are a smarter man than [[100 Bullets|Lee Dolan]].
* The characters of ''[[The Walking Dead (comics)|The Walking Dead]]'' have never seen zombie movies. Fine. But they still don't learn. Multiple characters die/are injured in the exact same zombie-attacking way. Heck, zombies or no, the cop character never quite grasps the concept of 'clear one room before going to next'.
** This seems to be standard across all forms of zombie fiction. It afflicts the ''Walking Dead'' TV series and almost any zombie movie you could care to name. One supposes that when the opponents are mindless, shambling corpses, it requires making the characters into complete idiots to explain how such enemies brought about the end of the world.
* The unwashed heathens in [[Jack Chick]]'s tracts seem to exist in a world where no one who isn't already a Christian has heard about Christianity. (See: [[Easy Evangelism]].)
* After being [[Tap on the Head|knocked out]] many times by being hit on the back of his head, you might have thought that [[Tintin]] would at least watch his back whenever he's sneaking up on a villain's lair or on the villains themselves.
