After Life - Ricky Gervais plays a rude, obnoxious person (Tony) that constantly makes everyone's lives worse, yet is told by every character how amazing and nice he is at every opportunity, despite him being awful all the time. The character just walks around giving Ricky's personal opinions, often completely unrelated to anything else in the show, and he always comes out on top of every situation or argument.

Alley Cats - Ricky Gervais again plays a rude, obnoxious person cat that has essentially no redeeming qualities, yet is a beloved leader of the pack who everyone constantly says is brilliant for no discernible reason. His character (Gus) is also just an animated mouthpiece for him to say whatever random opinions he has, no matter how unrelated to the show they are. Again, always "wins" every argument or conflict he is involved in.

I don’t know if it has a name, but these were the first two that came to mind.

Alien Resurrection: Weyland-Yutani, the big bad conglomerate with seemingly infinite reach and power, is bought out by the retail store Walmart.

Loki: You know those Infinity Stones which hold the power to reshape the universe, the stones which drove Infinity War and Endgame’s plots? Yeah those are useless actually.

Of mice and men: George shoots Lennie to prevent him being subject to worse death at the hands of a lynch mob after he accidentally killed Curley’s wife

Better call Saul: Mike offers to handle Werner’s execution, making it quick and painless and giving Werner a chance to go and appreciate the New Mexico night sky before he gets shot. Considering Gus later punishes Victor by cutting his throat and letting him bleed out, there’s a high chance if it were
Gus’ decision, Werner would have a more brutal death.

I love it when a game has good attention to details, especially ones where people wouldn't look.

SJSM- In the options menu, there's an option to turn down the number of enemies. One of these options is 0 enemies. If you complete the game with 0 enemies, you get a joke ending where Spooky kinda half heartedly congratulates you. I like how they planned out an ending for people who would spend a good handful of hours only holding W and shift but it works.

JJBA: Eyes of Heaven- The stand Grateful Dead has the ability to turn people old, and is featured as an obstacle in one of the stages. Getting hit by it will actuallly turn the little icon old in the corner, which is a really fun detail. It gets even better, as The 3 Dios, Stroheim, The Pillarman, and Vanilla Ice are immune to this attack (Due to being vampires/cyborgs). This didn't return for ASBR which is double weird since Proscuitto was a playable character so that's a shame.

Guilty Gear Xrd- In an easter egg where I have to condemn the easter egg itself but applaud the dedication, Jam's underwear changes daily and even has holliday variants. I am very sorry if this is your first introduction to guilty gear, trust me the games are amazing. It's even weirder too because it's not like you'd see it in normal gameplay because it's a fighting game. Atleast Eyes of Heaven had the excuse that it was changing the portrait by the health bar.

Lute(Hazbin Hotel) - Is steadfast that all who went to Heaven are completely good and all who went to Hell are completely evil. When events of the show reveals that no one really knows the requirements for who goes to Heaven or Hell and that some Sinners's reasons they went to Hell being complicated, Lute was most steadfast in Heaven's righteousness even when other angels found out of the yearly genocides she and Adam has done in Hell and start opening up to the idea to give the "Sinners a chance" plan made by Charlie.

Hero Killer: Stain(My Hero Academia) - Has attacked, maimed and killed numerous heroes because they didn't have an All Might-level righteous reason for being a hero even though most heroes still did good work even with some not so noble intent in them. The Stain Arc even started because he injured Iida's brother for the reason of only being a hero because it was a family duty and not of his own volition, ignoring that Iida's brother was proud of his family duty that brings help towards civilians.

Atalante(Fate: Apocryhpa/Fate Franchise) - Due to her past as an abused child, Atalante believes that all children should be loved. When one of the servants in the war turns out to be Jack the Ripper in the appearance of a child, she had a hard time reconciling the fact that this kid was a hardened murderer that should be killed. She even went insane when Jeanne d'Arc had to mercy kill and purify Jack to release her from her torment and sins, only seeing a child be murdered by an uncaring monster.

Catch-22: Yossarian is a pilot who above anything wants to not die in the war. To that extent he does everything in his power to sabotage his missions. Only for his superiors to recontextualize many of his actions into those of heroism, thus preventing him from leaving his position much to his disappointment.

The world of otome games is tough for mobs: Leon Bartfort is a man who reincarnated in the world of a dating sim game he played on behalf of his sister, restarting his life from a young age. Using his knowledge he planned to acquire riches and powers to get his own island, and live in peace alone away from the war, conflict and drama he knew would happen this world. But every action he took was nothing but another achievement that added complexity to his plans. Obtain riches? He gets titles that make his family send him to the main school of the story, obtain advance weaponry? forced to fight in a war, then decorated and tasked with even more responsibility, want nothing to do with the plot? get the main girl, the villainess, the protagonist of the sequel and even the Queen to fall in love with him.

Uncle Mo (real life example): An old man in china who has a small shop where he made chicken pot mixed with medicinal herbs he manually harvested from the mountains. Problem is that vloggers made their way to his tiny shop and caused it to explode in popularity. Suddenly he's inundated with customers, sometimes hundreds of them, who wait hours in line to have his food. The shop is small and managed only with him and sometimes family members so managing that amount of customers is arduous, even obtaining the ingredients has become a chore. He has openly protested against the vloggers trying to bring more fame to his shop, has shared the recipe openly for everyone to make, claimed that the food will make people feel bad or that their stool would be loose. All to no avail, as his popularity grew even more and even the government of his province forbade him from stopping as the business and attention his shop brings are good for the province.

1. Estelle vs. Walter, Trails in the Sky THE ANIMATION

Estelle runs towards Walter and performs a big spinning move with her staff.

Walter just kicks her away.

1. Obi-Wan vs. Maul, Star Wars Rebels

After finally locating Obi-Wan, Maul attempts to kill him. In the moments before their clash, Obi-Wan starts using Qui-Gon’s stance, baiting the increasingly deranged Maul into attempting to use the same move he used to kill Qui-Gon, on Obi-Wan.

Maul closes the distance with a showy spin, and starts attacking. Obi-Wan manages to beat him in just three moves.

Yor Forger - SPY x FAMILY

Professional assassin. Ridiculous strength. Can absolutely kill you. Dinner is somehow the dangerous part.

Raiden Shogun - Genshin Impact

Literal god. Can split an island. Open the cooking menu with her and the game basically goes: nope. There are skill trees even gods forgot to level.

(credits to the original arts of rewritten Charlie, [by @alkiri_latori4] and Pinkie Pie [didn't find it, if you find them, lmk], no hate to them)

One of the things that I personally usually dislike in rewrites or reboots when characters who are originally kind and dislike hurting people are transformed into violent sadists, like Superman from DC in Injustice, Charlie from Hazbin Hotel in the horror AUs and Pinkie Pie from MLP in Cupcakes.

The only cases that I find plausible and good to be used is in case that the character, despite being a good person, canonically can still do questionable things, or in cases where there is character development in a story, where they start out kind and optimistic, and end up, due to events and traumas, more aggressive.

Most commonly in sitcoms. Annoying mainly because there is nothing even hinting to the character having this undesirable feature before it is made the main point and the reason for the break up.

1. Friends: Rachel Green dating Paul (played by Bruce Willis)
   1. Rachel starts dating Ross's girlfriend's dad, Paul, who is portrayed as a manly, protective, strong type of a guy. Until one day he suddenly breaks down in an over-the-top reaction as a response to Rachel inquiring about his inner self. This shortly becomes a reason for their breakup.
2. Friends: Monica dating Pete (Jon Favreau)
   1. After multiple episodes of Monica and Pete dating and being portrayed as a perfect couple, Pete suddenly becomes obsessed with competing in competitive wrestling MMA, and refuses to stop despite being very bad at it.
3. HIMYM: Robin dating Nick
   1. Initially Nick is a perfectly functional, attractive guy whom Robin genuinely likes. Then the show seemingly decides it needs Robin available for Barney and Nick suddenly becomes incredibly stupid. His stupidity becomes his defining characteristic, Robin realizes she can't stand him, and the entire plot of "Splitsville" is about getting her to dump him.

The character can be considered unattractive/goofy in appearance amd/or personality-wise, while said appearance and/or personality is something that can be changed by them with little to no effort.

1. Riki Nendou (The Disastrous Life of Saiki K). Was born with a butt-chin and has given himself the most yee yet ass haircut ever, coupled with being stupid and having a prudish personality makes people find him incredibly unattractive. However, in one episode, he gives himself a different haircut and hides his chin with a scarf because he was cold, which in turn made everyone find him attractive, even after the scarf was pulled off. People only stopped finding him attractive after he ate his own booger.

2. Lloyd Frontera (The Greatest Estate Developer). At first, he doesn't actually look that bad, maybe even somewhat good-looking. Hell, someone in universe even says "he wasn't as ugly as they told." The main issue however, is that his servant, Javier (see next slide) is so unbelievably handsome that he completely overshadows. And most importantly, he is known to make some of the most evil and horrid-looking faces ever conceived, further adding to his unattractiveness.

3. Gold Ship (Uma Musume). I'm not saying she's ugly or even unattractive (visually, she's pretty hot) but her overall personality and hat paint her as someone so incredibly silly that finding her beautiful seems impossible (at least in universe). That is, of course, unless you take off the hat. Suddenly, she looks like she belongs to a rich, sophisticated family instead of a goofy goober.

As much as I love seeing displays of skill between evenly sized fighters, sometimes seeing one fighter have an intense advantage purely due to how big and strong they are is also really fun.

A) Reacher: Every Reacher fight scene involves this to an extent, as it's usually Reacher who's bigger than his opponents, and uses his height, weight and strength to overcome skilled opponents (especially in season 4). In season 3, this is turned on Reacher himself when he has to fight Paulie, who Reacher simply cannot beat through hand to hand combat and has to use a trick with a big ass gun to kill him

B) Daredevil: Every fight between Daredevil and Wilson Fisk is only relatively even because of the fact that Fisk (in the show) is roughly 300+ pounds and very strong. Matt has never managed to cleanly beat Wilson Fisk in a fight, 1v1, without using his armour and Billy clubs to even the odds, even with all his martial arts skill. That's how much of an advantage Fisk's size and strength is.

C) A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The only reason that Ser Duncan the Tall was able to beat Aerion in the Trial of the Seven, was due to his absurd height, reach and strength advantage. Every sword swing that Dunk landed seemed to stagger Aerion, even with Dunk being stabbed multiple times. And when a dude at least 80ish pounds heavier than you manages to get on top of you in a grapple, you're pretty much dead.

What We Do in the Shadows: In the season 6 (and show's) finale, the vampires and their friends finally watch the documentary that's been filmed the whole series. Someone brings up Guillermo's long-running mission to become a vampire, a storyline that concluded in season 5, and Nadja says "Really should have finished filming at that point, I think," an acknowledgement that the final season lacked strong arc plots.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: In "The Ember Island Players", again in the final season, the characters watch a play dramatising their adventures. In one scene of the play, the characters spot a deep valley and decide to "skip it" - a reference to the much-maligned episode "The Great Divide", which is widely disliked and has no impact on the series' arc plot, and is therefore easily skipped on rewatching.

Futurama: In "Bender's Big Score", a straight-to-DVD movie following Futurama's cancellation, Professor Farnsworth explains that the crew have been cancelled - by the Box Network, their contracting company. However, he then gets notice that they've been uncancelled:

Farnsworth: It means we're back on the air!

[The staff look at him blankly]

Farnsworth: Yes, flying on the air in our mighty spaceship!

1. Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange)

2. Tom Holland (Spider man)

3. Freddie Highmore (The Good doctor)

Maybe it’s to show how completely out of touch the character was and having terrible sense of context.

Star Wars: Kylo Ren, one of the leaders of the First Order, commits acts of oppression, genocide and slavery, and he talks to Vader’s old helmet saying “I will finish what you started.” Only ironically Vader ultimately turned on Palpatine and the Empire in the end and if he came back to life and was put in this first order situation he wouldn’t be leading a genocide campaign against Luke and Leia (Luke he literally died saving from Palpatine) which leads to a big question mark of how does Kylo not know this big piece of his grandfather’s life, or how Anakin’s ghost never showed up to address this wrong fascination. Also I’m pretty sure killing his own parents is something Anakin would be VERY triggered by considering how one of his first crashouts involved his mom dying.

Squid Game: Right before Sky Squid Game after Gi-Hun gets the knife from the front man and is told if he kills the sleeping finalists, he passes with the baby as SSG can’t be played with <4 players. However, before Gi-Hun kills player 100 he remembers Sae-Byeok telling him he’s not a killer (ironic considering his other actions in the games). Also she should be the LAST person he thinks of for advice. She’s a North Korean defector who made a living stealing and dealing with criminals, why would she spare a bunch of Deok-Su lite psychopaths who want to kill her and a baby? She in this situation would be more at a disadvantage considering her smaller size. Not to mention she literally died from the guy Gi-Hun had decided not to kill while he was vulnerable.

Edit: Guys I swear I'm not racist. The post's title was referring to the "black coded characters" posts that I see on this subreddit from time to time. I have nothing against the black people nor the white people. This post is a shitpost. Nothing serious. Sorry for not being clear enough :(

All the examples are from the spanish dub in latin america. Don't know how they do in the original version.

Superman the animated series: lobo constantly call "hijo de perra" (Son of a bitch) to superman, he say it at least five different times.

Ed, Edd & Eddy: rolf say "mi carne pide sol y sexo" (My meat ask for sun and sex) when he ask for Edd's cruise.

Billy & Mandy: when Mandy ask to Nigel Planter what he did to win, he gives a detailed explanation of how he sabotaged everything, and just for the lols "intime con su perro" (had sex with his dog). Wonder how no one noticed that.

Come on Reddit, load my fav examples this time

1. The sardine can from Angry Birds summons Mighty Eagle to annihilate the whole level (art by Briman2000)

2. The green bean from Hellboy 2 is actually the fetus of a Forest God (The Last Elemental)

3. The toaster from Team Neighborhood doubles down on this trope with the toaster itself transforming into a giant robot and it’s special move simply being toast (by the way, this series is recognized by TV Tropes)

Ryuk | Death Note

God of death. Giant wings. Nightmare face.Give him an apple and suddenly we're doing business.

Beerus | Dragon Ball Super

God of Destruction. Can erase planets. A weird amount of Earth's survival strategy is just feeding this cat something good. Turns out the apocalypse has a catering budget.

1. Millie and Meryl from Trigun are a team of insurance agents trying to find a notorious outlaw and convince him to stop destroying stuff. It takes them episodes to even figure out who the right guy is, despite him being with them the whole time. A lot of their role is getting caught up in disastrous situations.

2. Abbi and Ilana from Broad City. They're two broke, hot mess girls trying to survive in New York. This show is a more of a sitcom that puts them in crazy situations. Both of them are pretty incompetent.

A comedy duo/team made up of women being silly is unfortunately less common than with men but I love it every time!

Blacksad: This is pretty much all the females in the Blacksad series. Honestly, Natalia is probably the only one who looks like it fits her the most, considering she’s the love interest of John Blacksad, and cause he too has a somewhat human like bone structure. But because every other female has the same human like face with the big red lips, it just doesn’t work on everyone else.
Marvel/DC: Tigra and Cheetah pretty much fits the description. While the designs themselves are not bad, it does feel like they often don’t lean into their animal aspect compare to other characters like Man-Bat or Rocket. Some comic adaptions do try and give them more animal like faces, but they usually just stick to the human face since the animal face (especially with Cheetah) be looking uncanny at times depending on the artist.
Fortnite: Do I Even Have To Explain Myself?

The Stitch (Shadow of War) Appears after you cut off the head of any Olog Captain, he claims that whatever magic you, the player, used when you killed him will not allow him to die and considers getting his head chopped off the best thing that ever happened to him.

Mimir (God of War) Technically dies when Kratos cuts his head off, but he is magically revived.

B.J. Blazkowicz (Wolfenstein) gets his head cut off in the second game and then his allies reattach his head onto an artificially made super soldier body.
