There’s so many and most are just lazy writing. But what’s the one trope you’d be most happy to see gone for good?
Inspired by @AcceptanceIII thoughts on Bottoms here
Woman see man hugging another woman
Woman loses the plot
Turns out to be his sister or cousin

When you go to teen coms/ rom coms / christmas films the trope is the genre, it’s like saying you shouldn’t put jump scares in cheesy horrors
You’re a trope

I don’t think there’s ever been a good “some or all of the cast goes to a foreign city” episode of a TV show. Yes, I’m including the Copenhagen episode of The Bear in that.
folk horror/hauntology thing where someone goes on holiday for a relaxing rural retreat only to find there is a legend of a goat woman who appears every 17 years to
etc

People finding out dramatic news via the answer machine attached to their landline. No one has used a landline answer machine since 2010.
Something outlandish happens, witnessed by a street drunk, who looks at the event, then his bottle, back to the event, then tosses the bottle over his shoulder and shakes his head in a ‘never again’ manner

Not sure its a trope but character not finding the right time to say something that is very important so irl you’d prioritise saying it above all else.
I saw you doing the thing
Well actually…
I saw you do it and now i have to tell the police and divorce you and smear your name and have you evicted.
Oh well, i guess there goes my window for a very simple and proveable explanation

Scenes in restaurant with Will Poulter = good
Pointless montages of multicoloured cottages = bad
