"I did it to protect you" - Every fucking show.

Ohh I like this game. I just heard one earlier that made me think of the same thing.

"I just can't tell you!" (Tells them, reluctantly moments later) - Literally every episode of every show ROFL

"Stay put!" --- Proceeds to not stay put.


The other one would be a repetitive scenario when a male has done something that could be perceived as wrong and as he tries to explain a (usually) blonde female cuts him halfway in rage and storms out or talks over him, ignoring every logical explaining he would give.

This is probably more from movies than shows, but after a villain's henchman fails, the villain, holding a gun (or death beam or sword or what ever fits) says to the henchman "now you will see the price of your failure...", and then turns the gun and shoots someone else. The villain usually has some justification to shoot a different person, but the main point of it is to be a shocking twist. But it's never a shocking twist because we always see it coming!

If I were a villain's henchman in some action movie I would never have to worry about failing my boss. Because he will never actually kill me, he will just scare me into thinking he'll do it and then kill someone else in front of me as the "price of my failure".

How about any scene where the villain could just kill the "Hero", but, instead chooses to explain his entire scheme to him and allow him enough time to escape from "certain death".

Not a TV show kind of guy so talking about movies.

The bomb is disarmed 3 seconds before it explodes...
Victim runs from car straight path...

Wait what? most the shows ive seen where this happens the villain usually just straight up kills the henchman or w/e (if the villain is evil enough)

Older shows/movies did it the way he explained, new ones do it the way you said.



This is never fucking said in a show, maybe in movies.

I did it for you or I did it for us would be more common.

What? WHAT?
