Basic Trope: Some Hollywood hack gets something wrong again. * Straight: The creators of Generic Science Show generally get things like units of measure wrong. * Exaggerated: * The creators of the show get everything wrong, so that the only value is the Guilty Pleasure value. * Critical Research Failure. * Downplayed: The creators of the show tend to get only obscure things wrong. * Justified: * They're TV executives, not scientists. You can't blame them for everything. * A character states something factually incorrect, but the character is known to be an idiot. * Inverted: Shown Their Work * Subverted: * The producers actually start researching things to make the show credible. Or they are correct by accident. * The subject is so outlandi

  • Basic Trope: Some Hollywood hack gets something wrong again. * Straight: The creators of Generic Science Show generally get things like units of measure wrong. * Exaggerated: * The creators of the show get everything wrong, so that the only value is the Guilty Pleasure value. * Critical Research Failure. * Downplayed: The creators of the show tend to get only obscure things wrong. * Justified: * They're TV executives, not scientists. You can't blame them for everything. * A character states something factually incorrect, but the character is known to be an idiot. * Inverted: Shown Their Work * Subverted: * The producers actually start researching things to make the show credible. Or they are correct by accident. * The subject is so outlandishly absurd that one would naturally think there's no way it could be correct, until they find out that it is. * Double Subverted: * But that was just to get the FCC off their backs, and they're back to their old antics within a few weeks. * See Dan Browned. * Parodied: * The opening narration openly admits that they don't do a lick of research. * Alternatively: They do the research, then replace all the correct details with incorrect ones on purpose. * Deconstructed: * The show is popular enough to where Six-Pack thinks that most of what they say is true, even when it isn't...much to the consternation of anyone who did the research. * See Dan Browned. * Reconstructed: * The show's lack of research causes people to become genuinely interested in the subject matter - to the point where they're willing to do their own research. * See Dan Browned. * Zig Zagged: They increased the quality, but that was just to appease the FCC. But even after that period ends, the quality is still higher overall. * Averted: The work is fairly accurate, but makes no attempt to go into detail. * Enforced: "Ah, I've got too much to do - I don't have time to research that science stuff!" * Lampshaded: * "You sure this is how it actually happened?" * "Yes, we know it wouldn't really happen this way. Just go with it." * Invoked: * See "Enforced" and "Parodied". * Acceptable Breaks From Reality. * Defied: The producers decide to actually do their research before the show starts airing. * Discussed: "Are you sure we can halve the cooking time by doubling the temperature?" "No; and frankly the colossal mess we're about to make is the sole reason why we even have viewers. Now, did the recipe say degrees Kelvin or Fahrenheit?" "Eh, lets flip a coin!" * Conversed: "Generic Science Show? Oh, goody, another person who thinks they're talking truth." Back to Shown Their Work...I mean, Did Not Get the Girl...that is, Did Not Do the Research.
