Fictitious band is playing a gig. Small audience of enthusiastic extras absolutely going for it, one arm in the air, big old smiles, jigging about, a good few "wooo"s and "yeah"s and shouting the name of the band in there and all, not one of them signing along. Sometimes real life bands get similar gubbins. The new Twin Peaks did well at having a “this band is alright for gigging nobodies coming through our backwoods hick town” vibe with low-key head-bobbing and some chat in the back, but they were all like pure famous bands.

I am irked at the number of times that someone gets into their car to find someone is hiding in the back seat. How often does this happen in real life?
See, this is what happens when nobody locks their car…

Had to check that this isn’t the bullshit people post on social media thread. 
err…???
's cool; not having a dig; it just reminded me of some of the false safety advice that pops up from time to time; you know the sort of thing:
(what came first - the tv/film cliché or the apocraphyl stories?)
I’ve seen it in films from the 1930s onwards. Someone gets into their car, not realising someone is in the back. It happens so frequently in films and TV shows. And is nothing to do with the Snopes post above whatsoever.
Aye, I’m aware of the trope.
I know that’s not the same thing as the Snopes link but I’d suggest there is a general link of sorts as there’s a whole set of tropes and clichés attached to car use which make for good fear-inducing yarns but aren’t quite mirrored by reality. My original post was just identifying that there’s a bunch of tv tropes and chainmail/social media tropes that share the same territory. No judgement on the validity of your example in the context of this thread.

hmm, but porn is generally a bit gross isn’t it?
I’d much rather all the stupid fake saxophone stuff, I think my childhood would have lacked without it

Kind of reminds me of the over the top sex scenes in The Highlander films, totally superfluous to the plot and lasted about 10 minutes each time.

I’m so glad it’s not just me who haaaaates sex scenes! Related: make out scenes where you just hear sloppy mouth noises really loudly in the mix. Bleurgh.
