Ugh.

Well. Here we are 10 years later - the country is in absolute ruins with no leadership in sight while we are pummeled by sitcoms that alternate between "goofball, idiot husband who keeps forgetting his beautiful, successful wife's birthday but darn it, she loves the big lug anyway!!" and "group of great looking, neurotic friends who sit around and despair about all the sex they're having" while movie studios refuse to release a movie unless it's a sequel, a prequel, a re-make, or an update of a cartoon, comic strip or tv show. - an XMASTIME classic from 2006
Vanity Fair has 8 COMEDY TROPES THAT MUST DIE, such as of course:

She’s also a hooker with a Ph.D. And she just remembered her biological clock is ticking.

Ugh. All 8 drive me fucking crazy; I've prolly already bitched about most of them on Xmastime. To enjoy all my many, MANY moratoriums on things, click HERE.
