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.

    Lying unnecessarily and making things so much worse. Or the lie is so horribly impossible to fake that the thought of seeing the lair twist for an entire movie makes my stomach hurt.

    Also, :maybe-later-kiddo:, what the fuck is up with the word "lie"? All of the variants that I tried to use in the first two sentences too way to long for me to figure out how to spell. I never noticed it until trying to make this comment.
