Orcus on His Throne will always be my pet peeve.5/10, mostly neutral, though I worry when it happens to something I like.
"I guess I just don't want you to feel like you're nothing. I don't want anybody to feel like that."8/10
Generally fun, sometimes it gets annoying where the fans take it too far or insist that their theory must be correct even if it doesn't make any sense.
Watch It for the Meme
6/10. Slight case of Misaimed Fandom, but it can open a wider audience appeal.

They Changed It, Now It Sucks!
"We live in a society" - Winston Churchill, probably3/10. Tends to show a lack of faith on both the creator's and fan's sides.
Play-Along Meme Orcus on His Throne will always be my pet peeve.
5/10
Usually pretty bland, the joke tends to get pretty old real fast. Though thankfully, they usually don't last long. The exception is usually when the entire piece of media in question is so bizarre, to the point that it takes copiuos amounts of Willing Suspension of Disbelief. Its especially fun when you introduce a friend to said media.
Viva la je!6/10. Though it could be an annoyance, especially to those used to the easier levels, it makes a game arguably more challenging.
Now that's what I call good cop, bad cop.10/10. There's a reason why I love LARPing as villains.
Cry for the Devil Orcus on His Throne will always be my pet peeve.
7/10 It can work at showing the villain in a tragic light, though it's best if the villain was already sympathetic to begin with.
Iron Woobie note Google Snake Game.
10/10. They’re a good example of a character that has gone through a rough life, but still manages to endure it and keep going. It makes you root for them all the more.
They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot
5/10
If you have a good idea for a story, don't throw its potential out the window.
So Bad, It's Good
7/10. Can be entertaining, but at the times can be wasted potential for something geniunly good.
The Inverse Law of Fandom Levity
"We live in a society" - Winston Churchill, probably4/10. Darker works having a lighthearted fanbase is fun to me, but I tend to take umbrage with lighthearted works having dead-serious fanbases. (See SpongeBob SquarePants and RWBY)

2/10. As sequels grow more difficult, I find them to be less enjoyable and more frustrating.
No Casualties Run Everything that lives is designed to end...
4/10. Sometimes a good Self-Imposed Challenge, but more often than not frustrating.

5/10 Neutral, but I can understand the sentiment behind.
"We live in a society" - Winston Churchill, probably
8/10. Purely evil villains are the ones I like to root against the most and the most eager to see get their comeuppance.
Evil Is Cool
9/10 It’s generally a pretty good sign if the villains are entertaining, so long as it doesn’t lead to fans downplaying their more vile actions or traits.
I want to go to Tonio's.4/10 - Fine as long as they aren't total assholes.
Oh no! The DREADED AQUAE MORTIS! No, wait, it's just your imagination.
8/10
My favourite scenario with this trope, is when the The Villain executes one of these, after being backed into a corner, while previously trying to act as affable as possible. I'm in general a huge fan of characters going through corruption arcs.

Viva la je!
