Wall Banger/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

** The real complaint about this? Wilt's honesty (and longer time of residence) doesn't give him any immunity against Bendy's framejob.

** The episode never elaborated on what happened to Bendy afterwards. His absence in later episodes may hint that he got kicked out at some point. Bloo DID word his justification badly:

"Yeah, but Bendy stole a cookie!" }}

** The episode was so widely hated that the ''writers'' of the show themselves apologized for it.

** For both this and the following "Bart the Murderer" posts, it's important to remember [[Rule of Funny|that this is Springfield, where they sacrifice goats to scare off eclipses and have rioting as an official hobby.]]

*** There's also a scene in season six's "A Star is Burns" (the infamous ''Simpsons''-''[[The Critic]]'' crossover that Matt Groening wanted no part of [hence, the removal of his name in the credits]) where the town tries to have Skinner burned at the stake for saying the Earth revolves around the Sun.

* The ending of "Bart the Murderer." Long story short, Bart ends up becoming a bartender for the Springfield Mob. When Principal Skinner goes missing after punishing Bart in school, Bart is immediately accused of murdering him, resulting in his standing trial in court. Luckily, Skinner shows up and explains that he was accidentally trapped in his garage all week, clearing Bart of all the charges. Nothing wrong with that, right? WRONGO. During the trial, Fat Tony and the other gangsters claim that Bart is the leader of the Springfield Mob...and everyone in court ''believes'' them, completely ignoring the fact that Bart ''is a 10-year-old boy!'' I know the people of Springfield aren't exactly Einsteins, but come on! We're supposed to accept that they honestly believe a 10-year-old is capable of leading a group of thugs, robbers, blackmailers, and murderers?!

** To be fair to the writers, this was actually [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by ''Mr. Burns'', of all people. When Smithers notes that Bart is looking at 180 years in jail, Burns replies that he's thankful to live in a country so hysterical about crime that a ten year old child could be tried as an adult.

** ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'', "Equal Fights" did something similar: That eppy's baddie, Femme Fatale, goes on a rant about the lack of female superheroes. To their credit, the PPG do come up with a few in response, but FF points out that [[Distaff Counterpart|they're mostly female counterparts to male superheroes]], and the only counterexample the girls can come up with is [[Wonder Woman]] (points above). (She also points out the lack of female villains, but at least remembers to (dis)count Princess and Sedusa.) This ''still'' doesn't detract from the awesomeness of the episode.

* ''[[The Batman]]'' episode "A Dark Knight To Remember", where Bruce gets [[Easy Amnesia]] and forgets he's Batman--but not Bruce Wayne. Alfred never ''once'' [[Idiot Plot|just tried to get him to remember why he became Batman with one simple line]]:

** The first season of ''[[The Batman]]'' is full of Wall Bangers. In "Topsy Turvy," experienced police detectives Bennett and Yin follow up on a Joker card they were sent with no return address telling them to come alone to an abandoned theater. Once they become trapped in gooey Joker gum, it's revealed that the Joker is behind this. They're surprised!

** "The Man Who Would Be Bat". Detectives Bennett and Yin are pursuing The Batman and decide they can find him by following actual bats. These bats lead them to Wayne Enterprises, where the creepy Dr. Langstrom is using them to research a cure for deafness for his pink-clad little niece. Bruce decides to help by giving the little girl a hearing aid. Hearing aids do not work that way.... It turns out the girl can hear -- which Bruce should have figured out, since she answered the door after he ''knocked.'' Finally, he learns that Langstrom has been researching bats so he can turn into a giant bat that drains blood from the living. ''[[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]].'' And he shoots globs of sticky spit. Bennett has to say, loudly, "What is this stuff?!" in true cliche fashion. Get Langstrom to drink the insta-cure. The End.
