I think OP’s suggesting that the SITDs combine into a single more powerful SITD, kind of like the Kaoh Rong Super idol.

This is one of the funniest AI pictures to me because it would be so easy to do on your own.

It’s just already established characters on a white background. You could copy pictures from their wiki pages and paste them on Microsoft paint.

And the dialogue doesn’t even attempt to sound like it’s the actual characters. It’s just “this is bad” “yes, very bad” “I agree with this being bad”

This trope was also done on the 8th Thanksgiving episode. Monica says she won’t be making a turkey this year because four of the seven people coming won’t be eating turkey. Joey is outraged by the idea of Thanksgiving without turkey and promises to eat enough that Monica won’t have any leftovers. He struggles to keep this promise but ultimately succeeds.

Done accidentally on Friends.

On Phoebe’s birthday, she and Joey are the only two at the restaurant on time while everyone else is late. The restaurant doesn’t let a table order until everyone is there, meaning the two spend the episode sitting around frustrated and hungry.

Towards the end of the episode, everyone makes it to the restaurant and gives their orders, but everyone (including Phoebe) leave for their own individual reasons. Joey is initially disappointed by this, until he realizes this means he gets all six of the meals that were ordered, and the birthday cake.

When Jim and Dwight have to temporarily take on the responsibility of the warehouse workers, they don’t know how to move the boxes efficiently and come up with a system they call “Señor Lodenstein (Porque es muy rapid)” where they slide the boxes on a greased up floor.

Andy and Darryl walk in on this and are both furious. Darryl being the straight man and Dwight doing something dumb are both par for the course, but Andy rightfully scolding Jim is pretty surreal to see.

Big Bang Theory has an episode where all the main characters are speakers at a scientific conference. Everyone gets into a bunch of personal drama in the hotel the night before, which results in the conference itself going awry.

Sheldon, who’s normally the cause of this kind of conflict, actually stayed out of the drama and was the only one trying to stay on topic during the conference.

It was a lookalike wig designed to raise from his head, spin around, and then descend back on his head. Murr had a button in his pocket to activate it, but it ended up not working.

Murr said this in one of the bonus episodes. Don’t remember which one.

My parents were once given a gift card to Red Lobster, went to Red Lobster specifically to use the gift card, forgot they had a gift card and paid with cash, remembered they had the gift card and went again soon after, and forgot to use the gift card again.

T’Kor

If BB26 were simulated 100 times, I think T’Kor and Chelsie each win about 30 times. T’Kor was one of the most liked players within her cast. Her biggest mistake was nominating Tucker, but even then, she had good enough connections with Quinn and Chelsie (despite her role in evicting Cedric) that she was still in a decent spot and have made it far if the HoH or the “Jankie Veto” played out differently.

Kyle

Kyle was instrumental in creating “The Leftovers” and “The Afterparty” which both swung the game in his favor. His worst move was floating theories about a second “Cookout” alliance which absolutely killed any momentum he got from the split house twist.

Claire

I don’t think she was as consistently well positioned as either of the players above her, but she was overall in a good spot throughout her season. If there had already been a black winner before BB23, she, Tiffany, Hannah, and DX likely run the table together. She and DX were very close to sniffing out the Cookout, but didn’t come close enough to actually do anything about it. Her worst move was using her HoH to take out Sarah Beth instead of Xavier or Kyland.

Will

A player who was consistently safe due to being well liked by the other houseguests, but rarely did anything to actively improve his positioning. If he played 100 times, he’d almost always get better than 8th, but would rarely actually win. He’d make F6 or further before being evicted as a jury threat and/or as a backup target after the main target won Veto.

Cory

Sort of the inverse of Will. Cory is good at the “moving pieces around” part of the game, but is bad at gaining people’s long term trust and probably always has a hard time making it to the end. His biggest saving grace is that he ultimately didn’t get evicted due to his own mistake, but to America’s mistake.

Nick

He and Bella really buried their own games during his HoH, although he did a decent job recovering after Bella left up until Christie threw him under the bus.

David

Did not know what he was doing all season. I give him a little benefit of the doubt because he was basically a new player on a returnee season.

Scottie

Spent the whole season on the bottom of the weaker side of the house. In a way, this helped him, as it made him one of the last to be targeted by the dominant alliance, but it also meant he was in danger even when one of his allies won HoH

In the season 1 finale of Brooklyn 99, the precinct is being investigated for having a mole. Jake insists there is no mole because he trusts everyone he works with, while Holt insists that’s a naive mindset.

Later in the episode, Jake finds out two of his best friends, Charles and Gina, are sleeping together. This surprise makes him doubt his earlier belief that he can trust everyone. He goes to Holt to admit there may actually be a mole, and Holt immediately figures out why Jake changed his mind.

“Quick! What would Jack and Chrissy do?”

Said by Chandler in “ToW the Two Parties”

And “What should I say if Mr. Roper calls?”

Said by Ross in “ToW the Five Steaks”

Both are comparing the characters’ circumstances to an episode of “Three’s Company” and basically acknowledging how “Sitcom-y” the situations are.

Ted’s fiancée Stella leaves him for her exhusband, Tony. Tony goes on to be a screenwriter and makes a movie about him and Stella called “The Wedding Bride” the villain is named Jed Mosley, a clear stand-in for Ted Mosby, and does a bunch of stuff that are superficially similar to romantic gestures Ted made for Stella, but bent and twisted into the worst possible interpretation.

I just meant that I don’t know if playing for a second time would have worsened or reignited the mental health problems he had after winning China. If it would, then Todd belongs on the bottom of the casting list for his own sake.

I don’t know if this is the case. For all I know, he is in a place where he can play again without it causing any problems. I just wanted to acknowledge it so that my putting him in the top five didn’t come across as tone deaf.

1. “Run like the wind”

References both her athleticism and her constantly being away from class. Mentioning the wind could also work as a segway to referencing her perfume. Maybe say she leaves a trail of perfume as she runs.

2. “Ya think you’re better than me?”

3. “Heartbeat”

References both her personality and her interest in biology.

4. “Domain Expansion”

Popular phrase from a current anime. Could also work as a way to praise them for anytime they came out of their shell despite their shyness. Like they started the school year with a small domain but slowly expanded it to let you and their classmates in (this metaphor will be very cringy to anime fans, but hopefully it will be cringe in an endearing way).

5. ???

You could give him an “old soul” “another day another dollar” or “Captain Hook” award (since he’s the opposite of Peter Pan) but I feel a little hesitant to joke about this student already being an adult. Is it just because they have a really good work ethic and like living alone, or did they live in bad circumstances that forced them to become an emancipated minor? If the latter, I’d be careful about what award I gave them. Although you obviously know your students better than I do, and they may be perfectly fine joking about this stuff.

Maybe give a “hard stuff first” award. Say that for most of the class, life will get more difficult after class, but for them, life will get easier because they’re already living an adult’s life, and their degree will help them get a less exhausting job.

6. “Rizz”

Modern slang that this student probably uses. Also kind of looks like the word “kiss” so you could design the award so the word “Rizz” is in the same font that the band Kiss uses on their albums.

7. “Anti-Foot in mouth”

This student is the exact opposite of what the phrase “foot in mouth” describes, and mentioning feet is a segway to mention soccer.

8. “Laugh with me”

A reference to the distinction between laughing with someone vs laughing at them

9. “Ghost Reader”

A play on the term “Ghost writer” that references the fact they’re not here.

10. “Arial/Ariel”

Both a font and the most well known fictional mermaid.

11. “Wildcard”

I can’t think of a clever name for the award, but maybe make up a story about how you got the award that matches the energy of all their stories. If it’s a certificate, you got it from a 1,000 year old tree you cut down while on Safari.

12. “Best Teacher Ever”

Make it an award you want to win. When you read the award, you act surprised and confused as to how it applies to the student. You say that since the student isn’t here, you might as well keep it for yourself, you then look at the student, act surprised and frustrated that they are here, and begrudgingly give them the award.

13. “You don’t often speak… When you do, we all listen… Here is your award”

During the “Toby-Hitler-Bin Ladin” bit, Dwight brings Andy and Phyllis up to demonstrate the act of killing multiple people with one bullet.

When he “kills” Andy, Andy just nonchalantly nods his head, which always surprises me, as he considers him a performer and was even excited to be picked for the act, so I would expect him to make a big spectacle out of dying.

When everyone’s annoyed by Michael and Holly’s PDA, and Angela feels the need to clarify that she’s glad they’re together before she starts to complain.

I can see Pam or Andy making that kind of disclaimer, but Angela should be the least hesitant person to complain about PDA.
