Hated Tropes (Hated Trope) The series is good, but the beginning is so embarrassing that many people give up there.

Dan Da Dan

The beginning of Dan Da Dan is notorious for starting with aliens trying to impregnate Momo in the first episode; however, despite such over-the-top moments, the rest of the series doesn't feature many scenes like that

Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san

Despite a premise that is off-putting—given that the girl bullies her romantic partner to the point of making Naoto cry early in the series—their relationship evolves beautifully; the teasing becomes less cruel over time, eventually turning into a rather sweet romance

Uma Musume Pretty Derby

Someone on the production team had the audacity to have the trainer start meeting up with Special Week like that—even though, in reality, he is a good trainer who doesn't usually treat the girls that way.

I think one of my favorite gags will always be when Sarge is shooting Griff with the sniper rifle.

"This is the best game since griffball!"

"I thought it was my turn?"

"This is the lightning round!"

"... Who's in the ligh-"

"Me."

BANG

And that one throwaway line about a violent sport Sarge invented specifically to harm Grif became the foundation for the best Halo 3 game mode ever.

Of all time.

Church: I dunno… what about that sword?, what if it runs on radiation, that’s what’s making him sick?

Caboose: or… what if it runs on solar power?

Church: if it’s running on Solar Power how is that making him sick?

Caboose:… is he a republican?
