Forced romantic interest that were clearly the idea of some dipshit exec who wants to play it safe with generic audiences by inserting every cliche they can think of.
But, what if they just stayed good friends?
Insert guy getting defenestrated.
They do that sometimes to good effect.
Theres a lot of "will they, wont they" and then, nope they dont.
One of my favorite things from 30 Rock - they didn't force any of the main characters together. They even had Kim Jong Il talk directly to the camera at the end of an episode telling the writers not to overthink it and have Jack and Liz get together.
That is one of my favorite jokes as they’re mocking fans who wanted them to get together.
Obvious exposition dumbass who needs breathing explained to him coming in a close second.
My favorite non-example of this was in Mr Robot. The main character starts explaining something and the other character just says something like "we know what a raspberry pi is jackass" and it was fantastic.
