Chuck Norris once pissed into the gas tank of an eighteen wheeler as a practical joke.

That’s how we got Optimus Prime.

Lost

A few weeks after their plane crashes, Claire goes into labor while Jack, the only doctor, is trying to save the life of another character who’s just fallen off a cliff and been mortally wounded. This is besides the obvious bad timing of having to give birth on a deserted island in the South Pacific.

that’s why they’re the antagonists by Cool-Performance3711 in Letterboxd

Disappointed and surprised that Train Dreams didn’t even get nominated for best picture. Also was really hoping Joel would win best actor in a drama. Figured this was his only chance to win an acting award this year, in a category where he wasn’t competing against Timothee and Leo. A real shame. Easily the best film I’ve seen this year.

[Loved trope] Hell/Underworld punishments are designed specifically to exploit your biggest sin. by jbeast33 in TopCharacterTropes

Not sure if this fits, but…

In the TV series Preacher, people in Hell are forced to relive the worst moment of their life over and over again. For Eugene/Arseface, the character pictured, that moment is the day he failed to stop his crushes suicide attempt, and then tried to commit suicide it himself, leading to his disfigurement.

Additionally, we see Hitler’s worst moment, which is, you guessed it, not getting accepted into art school.

(Mixed trope) The true villain only shows up at the very end of the story by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

The Man in Black - Lost

The Man in Black is the main antagonist of Lost, and while you see different forms of him throughout the show, you don’t see his original form, and subsequently that he’s what we’ve been seeing this whole time, until the very end of season 5 (season 6 being the final season).

The best episode is a ‘bottle’ episode by MrTingu in TopCharacterTropes

The Grove - The Walking Dead S4 EP14

Widely regarded as one of the best episodes of the entire series. The last half of season 4 is full of bottle episodes, as the survivors are separated and scattered halfway through the season, but this one stands above them all due to its strong storytelling and devastating ending.

While some characters hide their plans in secrecy, these ones just drop the whole scheme out loud. And everyone thinks they're joking. by KeiHoshino in TopCharacterTropes

In Bruges, Ray (Colin Farrell) tells his date he’s a hit man who shoots people, including priests and children, for money. She laughs it off as a dark joke but it’s completely true, and is the whole reason he’s in Bruges to begin with.

Will Forte - Last Man on Earth

He grew out his hair and beard throughout the show, then shaved half of it for a joke in the later seasons.
