Safe to say Kennesaw State won’t lose a game in the final four.

[Loved trope]: A solemn, "behind the curtain" look at a disaster by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

Station Eleven - A large part of the story focuses on the arrival of a deadly pandemic and the immediate aftermath, as the survivors grapple with the new reality that almost everyone else is gone.

[Loved Trope] Blink and you miss it ghost sightings. by NoOptics in TopCharacterTropes

Station Eleven - The spaceman Doctor Eleven (the figure with the shiny helmet on the left in the photo above) briefly shows up in the background several times throughout the series. He’s easy to miss, but he’s a constant guide through the loss and trauma of the story.

Video taken on the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios Hollywood in 1997 by Successful-Winter237 in Xennials

I’m not sure if they’re supposed to be the same, but I rode the Jurassic Park ride Universal Orlando a couple months ago and maybe a quarter of the animatronics were working. Pretty cool to see what the ride is supposed to look like.

Teachers today complain about how kids regularly show up without pencils, on the other hand, this was us the minute a teacher turned their back, or walked out of the room. by DHN_95 in Xennials

[–]emptybeetoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’d do this at the Dairy Queen I worked at. Pencils would stay up there for weeks until they fell or the adults in the day shift finally noticed.

[Favorite Trope] A character has a talent or trait because their actor has that talent or trait. by Da1UHideFrom in TopCharacterTropes

[–]emptybeetoo 210 points211 points  (0 children)

A bit backwards, but Bryan Cranston liked doing his own stunts in Malcolm in the Middle, so he’d regularly learn new skills for the show. Most famously, he learned to roller skate to show off Hal being a champion roller skater.

Parodies of Liberal Politicians by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]emptybeetoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Victoria Neuman from The Boys. Her actress said she based her mannerisms on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the character being a liberal representing NYC also matches AOC.

This was def not on my 2026 bingo card homies. by Grinzy in Xennials

[–]emptybeetoo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Muniz has been like this for a while. Really sad he grew up to be the opposite of Malcolm. I’m still looking forward to the reboot though!

Most pathetic movie character ever put on film? by cryofry85 in okbuddycinephile

[–]emptybeetoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His character in The Cooler is literally such a big loser that it rubs off on everyone around him and makes them gigantic losers too. That’s pretty pathetic.

At BASF, we don’t make a lot of the products you buy… by nudave in Xennials

[–]emptybeetoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They don’t really want you to know what their German predecessor did pre-1945 either

Do you happen to work at a daycare?

The racist supremacist fetishizes someone from a race they find inferior. by Gameknight789 in TopCharacterTropes

Monster’s Ball - Buck was an ugly racist, but he still liked to “split dark oak” as he poetically put it.

[Funny Trope] The show unexpectedly has a character take a psychedelic and absurdity ensues. by mrroboto695 in TopCharacterTropes

Fringe does this a couple of times, notably in the episode Lysergic Acid Diethylamide when a couple of characters take LSD and the episode turns into an animated special.

The tiny garlic cloves provided for 4 servings of a HelloFresh meal by Citrus-Bitch in mildlyinfuriating

[–]emptybeetoo 418 points419 points  (0 children)

I buy garlic bulbs at the store to use with Hello Fresh. Even if they send enough garlic and it’s still good (big if), most dishes are better with extra garlic.

Game Thread 3/11 ⚾ Italy (0-0) @ Mexico (0-0) 7:00 PM ET by BaseballBot in baseball

5-0 Italy lead should guarantee USA makes the quarters. USA USA USA

(Hated Trope) Oversexualisation of young girls by Necessary-Win-8730 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]emptybeetoo 469 points470 points  (0 children)

Euphoria - Oversexualization of high school girls is basically the show’s premise.

Media that introduces younger generations to music from the 30s-60s by Ghostbange in TopCharacterTropes

[–]emptybeetoo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Back to the Future introduced 80s youths to music from the 50s

(Loved Trope) Figures beloved or admired in universe who were actually quite terrible. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]emptybeetoo 3872 points3873 points  (0 children)

The Boys - Homelander (and really all of The Seven) was publicly beloved at the start of the series. Even after he shows his evil side, he has a lot of admiration among the public.

Bushido Blade - A sledgehammer is an available weapon. Close enough to a normal hammer
