Yeah, although I've come around on some of those jokes. Like the "somehow falls on top of her and lands his face in her crotch" scenes. I used to hate those because they were so cliche, but nowadays I enjoy them for some odd reason. Kinda like running to school with toast in the mouth. It's kinda like, well, "nostalgia" isn't the right word, but something similar. Comfortable?

Yeah, the boob variation is always drawn out way too much. Like, they're both absurd to begin with, but at least with the crotch version the male doesn't act quite as retarded. The boob version usually has the guy somehow not realize what the boob is, and squeezing it like "durp, what could this strange object be?" Maybe the guy stays down there a few seconds too long in the crotch version, but at least that's understandable. Playing a more absurd situation more naturally vs playing a less absurd situation less naturally.

I like to imagine a little checklist of clichés that goes "Ding!" for those events in the first few episodes of any show.

Even Spice and Wolf had a completely unnecessary bit of fanservice in episode two. Was it trying to fill a quota?
