I hate that one trope where there's an alien or a guy from an isolated tribe that's never been to America, and they come to America and their new American friends show them shopping malls and fast food and the outsider is all "This is amazing! I love America!"

Just once I'd like this trope to be subverted with the alien or whatever spitting out the fast food and saying something like, "Oh god, what is this shit? It's giving me a heart attack!" or they go to a mall and are mortified by the advertising and that they have to slave away to afford any of it.

Are there any tropes you're tired of? They can be as dumb and petty as you want. It's fun to rip on pointless things sometimes.

    It's not really a trope I guess, but I hate when a movie/show explains stuff that doesn't actually need to be said. Like a show I watched yesterday felt the need to be like "listen, we both know he's your father!" when it was very clear without being said. If they really needed to say it out loud maybe she could call him dad when she went to see him in the hospital
