The Scrappy/Live-Action TV: Difference between revisions
It's a YMMV trope, dude. In some people's opinions, he fits, and I can at least see why even if I disagree.
(Carlton, one of TV's most beloved sitcom characters, a scrappy? Come on.) |

Line 98:
** When Daphne's brother Simon and her mother started appearing quite frequently, the terms 'annoying', 'obnoxious' and, most critically, 'not very funny' began to be heard applied to them very quickly.
** Also, Lana's son Kirby was introduced as a young, everyman character and totally upset the show's character dynamic.
* ''[[Fresh Prince of Bel Air]]'': [[Cousin Oliver|Nicky]], who was a complete annoying idiot, even for a kid. Some fans also believe Carlton to be an example.
* Michelle Tanner from ''[[Full House]]'', mainly in the later seasons when she is a mouthy, spoiled brat who faces no consequence whatsoever for her actions, is as definitive of a Scrappy as the trope namer himself. Fans of the series universally hate her and feel that she makes the later seasons all but unwatchable.
** This is reconigized by the writers of the series, who made one episodes subplot about D.J. and Stephanie trying to convince Danny to be tougher on Michelle, who they feel is given much more leniency then them.
