What joke, in otherwise great sitcoms, do you hate? (lemmy.zip)

I don’t mean that the joke just isn’t funny, I want to know a joke that almost makes you want to fast-forward through the scene.

I hate how in Disney family sitcoms as well as some cartoons, there's always the stock dumb kid that gives the majority of the humor, and it's humor that gets old.

And they get dumber and dumber by every season

The example I think that got me to dislike the trope was in Austin and Ally. The character Desmond was eating a muffin with the muffin wrapper on, and one of the characters mentioned you "have to remove the wrapper before eating it", so he removes the wrapper and throws the muffin away and starts eating the wrapper because that's how he interpreted their advice. And I'm thinking has there ever been a teenager who didn't have some instinct on how to eat a muffin.

One character I actually really like because he makes fun of the trope (at least in one episode), is Barry from American Dad!

I grow tired of how all the Pixar style movies use the same facial visual gags. They're all kinda samey.

Better than Dreamworks, though

It's all the same crap to me.
