Have you ever watched a tv show or movie and then something so ridiculous or out of character happens that you just shake your head and walk away?

My friend was recently trying to get me into pretty little liars when we got to an episode where the main characters were threatened via a message in a fortune cookie. I couldn't watch any more after that.

Share your moments with me FS.

Every romance thing in Korra

First episode of Glee, Rachael accuses a teacher of being a pedophile in order to get the lead. Guy shows up later and says it was a "blessing" or some shit. Couldn't watch after that.

I had to quit PLL because of all the "nope" moments. The big reveal of A was the last straw for me and I just laughed and laughed. That was season 2 I think.

That wasn't A. Just for the record.

Oo, SPN and "Time For A Wedding". That episode was packed with stupid. I mean, I did have my problems with the show before that, but this episode made me realize that it was time to quit watching.

The time Fallon got kidnapped by a UFO.

The last episode of Roseanne. I didn't bother finishing it after the "revelation".

The Connor/Jasmine mess in Angel.

Season 2 finale of Teen Wolf. The "twu wuw" with Lydia and Jackson almost did it, but the "I'll forgive you everything" with Scott and Allison on top of that was just too ridiculous for me. And no, those weren't my only problems with that episode.

I'm blocking "Time For A Wedding" from my memory. Overall, though, the things I love about SPN outweigh the things I hate about it, so I'm still on board. But, ugh, that episode.

I think the worst part of the TW finale was that up until that point I assumed I wasn't supposed to understand things and that all would be revealed. Turns out it was just too badly made to be believed.

I was watching that old anime, Rose of Versailles, about a girl who was raised as a boy by her father who was a soldier without any male heirs, who becomes the head of Marie Antoinette's guards shortly before the French Revolution. Well it's all fine and dandy, amusingly overdramatic but the characters are interesting.
Then suddenly, three fourths of the way into the show, the main character's childhood friend (who was a major character) suddenly rips off her shirt, screaming that she should stop trying to be a man, and pushes her back onto her bed. He leaves after she punches him if I remember correctly but then we're ex[ected to feel sorry for him???? I want to know how it ends but ugh it was just so weird and random and rapey

Re: tw ??attempted rape??

It's been a while since I watched Fringe, but when the alt universe love interest died so that the reg universe dude could move over there and open things up for, uh, the main characters to get together. Wow. I can't even remember their names. I really liked that show, but that pissed me off so much that I stopped watching.

I stopped watching Angel after they killed off Doyle, which was pretty early on. I later decided to give the show another chance and watched until the end, but I always missed Doyle.

I know there have been others but I can't think of them right now. I usually stop watching a show/movie because I get bored, not because of one particular event.

I started watching Once Upon a Time when it first aired. There wasn't a particular moment that turned me against it but just the general bizzaro factors kept piling higher and higher. I finally just stopped. (The last episode I watched was probably when Regina killed the Sheriff. NOPE!)

I have a friend who's REALLY into Big Bang Theory and she wanted me to watch it. It hit all of my annoyance buttons, one right after the other: sitcom cliches! Poorly developed, stereotypical characters! The girl is stupid! Honestly, I couldn't watch any of it after that.

A thousand years ago one of my friends was trying to make me read a book called "Tithe", something urban-fantasy with fairies, and the main human characters discovered more about these mysterious fairie folk by looking them up on the internet and all of the presented information was true. I simply had to stop reading.

My "nope" moment with PLL was the very first episode, when the 16-year-old main character hooked up with her adult teacher and the audience was supposed to be rooting for them because ~she's wise beyond her years~ or some bullshit. HELL FUCKING NOPE. Having seen that play out in real life, I absolutely cannot stomach it in entertainment.

The Hangover. The whole film was full of "Nope" moments, but at lest they were framed in the context of "Comedy". The point I shook my head and would have waked away (If it hadn't been right at the end) was when the dentist character, having spent the entirety of the film cheating on his wife, and even committing bigamy, returns to his wife and pubic humiliates her at the wedding, in front of all her friends. This is framed as a good positive thing where the evil symbol of authority, the "controlling" woman gets what's coming to her.

Nope. Nice try hangover, for a film built on immature man-child power fantasies, that was one too far.

I was watching Day Break Illusion because I wanted something cheap and knock-offy to watch (It's a bad Madoka ripoff). I noped right the fuck out when what looks to be a ten year old with tits ( I think they're fifteen? IDEK) was turned evil and is now running around completely naked as a half-wolf thing. NOTHANKSJAPAN.

Korra's first season with tah travesty of a love triangle episode.

I still stuck with it out of pure stubbornness, but it was a very painful ride...

And the gifs I keep seeing of the Twins from the new episodes have me going "NOPE" with how possessive one of them is over Bolin. Like she made up her mind and he has no say. I'll have to see the full episode to get the full context, but going by gifs alone, that makes me all kinds of uncomfortable.

The literary version occurred with Twilight; everyone I knew was raving about it, it was in the vein of stories I liked, and the first chapter was interesting enough. Then after two more chapters of her slowly building up what a weird creeper Edward was, Bella Googles "the dude is probably a vampire" and BOOM OMG INSTANTLY IN TRUEST TRUE LOVE.

Nope. *book toss*

With Bones there wasn't a "nope" moment, it was the death of a dozen cuts of Booth ending the episode with an "I told you so."

Some police procedural I don't even remember the name of, in what I think was the first episode. Nothing about it was working for me or my friend, but then one of the detectives started ranting about "Do you think I took stupid pills?!" or something like that on the way down the stairs, and we looked at each other and both said, "I'm done." It was just so grating and trying-to-be-edgy and ... just inane.

I quit "Wonderfalls" on something like the fourth episode, but I think that was just "Look, ma, I'm so quirky!" overload rather than any one individual thing.

For the most part, though, I stay through the bitter end, hate!watching things. I need to learn to drop stuff sooner.

Once Upon a Time. When August (a 30 something year old man) turns into Pinocchio (a 10 year old boy), forgetting his entire life, memories, and lessons learned.

And then the characters see it as a happy ending. Like, Snow White and Prince Charming are smiling and crying tears of joy and I'm all "WTF?" I checked out after that.

when shawn told jules the truth about being psychic. fuck that noise.

and I'm a pretty little liars fan to be honest, but there was one episode where emily received a message in a box of alphabet cereal from the school cafeteria. it was all packaged and everything, but there was a message inside and all the letters were "A." I mean, come on. that's just not possible. same with their takeout being replaced with nasty things on various occasions.

When I realized I would be playing a whiny, angsty 15-year-old and his kawaii nguu childhood friend (soon to be love interest, surely) A-FUCKING-GAIN at the start of FFXII I almost noped on out.

I actually noped on out when I realized that the battle system let you run around the enemies as if it were an active combat system, yet was still entirely turn based and the movement did absolutely nothing.

Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. The scene where thy fuck up someone's surgery in order to get their hands on medical marijuana. I just couldn't see the characters as anything other than monstrous after that.

I was reading a book called "Princess of Wands," and I had to stop where the law enforcement agent decided to share absolutely all of the information on the case he was working on with some random stranger (the books protagonist) for no good reason.

I was also reading some young adult novel featuring a girl who turns put to be a witch or something which start with her moving to Seattle after her parents were killed. The line "everyone carries an umbrella in Seattle because you never when it's going to rain" threw me out of the story entirely. Almost nobody carries an umbrella in Seattle, because it rarely rains so hard you need more than a light jacket. If you can't do basic research on the city you're setting your story in, don't set it there.
