People Are Exposing The Totally Unrealistic Behaviors Of TV Or Movie Characters In Funny Tweets (40 Pics)
When you think about it, TV Land is such a weird place. Characters never seem to finish their meals (and leave most of their food untouched in cafes which hurts me on a personal level), they don’t say ‘goodbye’ when they end their calls, and whenever they switch on the TV, there’s always a news segment on that’s relevant to their situation.
Really, life seems much more convenient on-screen. But it is raising some eyebrows. So much so that the people over on Twitter are posting example after example of how bizarre life is when you’re a film or TV character. Scroll down to check out these funny quirks and remember to upvote the ones that made you pause for a moment.
Pop culture and entertainment expert Mike Sington, who is a former Senior Executive at NBCUniversal, explained to Bored Panda that unrealistic scenarios and acting decisions are required to keep the plot moving on a TV show. "No one wants to see characters eat a full meal, that would bring a storyline to a screeching halt! Things like seeing a relevant news segment playing can immediately fast forward a storyline or emphasize a plot point. It’s a common tool that writers use," he said. And we fully agree. (Though the Joey Tribbiani in all of us is wondering how good the meal has to be to get featured from start to finish.)

And I don’t ever crash unless I’m the bad guy or I need more emotional scarring
It’s the tablecloth that annoys me... we never use tablecloths except at Christmas
Haha, yes, and I'm always like "Why doesn't he/she just tell... ah, it's a movie..."
Also, simply walk away after giving a snippet of information. "You should talk to X, I can't say anymore, I already said too much"
And always on some obscure instant message platform, nothing anyone has ever seen.
That implies they aren't aware of the muzzle energy of their particular firearm. For instance .38 Long Colt likely wouldn't come out the other side of their head. By comparison, 9mm Luger would have the aforementioned effects.
and you will be an expert in pathology, fingerprints, and ballistics
And don't forget to victoriously announce: I'm in!' when you discover the password.
Hello, i am a boob in a TV drama. I am never, ever allowed to be seen because it's indecent and yucky. But if i grow on a leading female character, i am supposed to look perky and abundant through her clothes to make people know i'm there. My good friend nipple is allowed to be clearly seen if it grows on a male actor, of course.
Yeah, well, you can't actually put everything in now can you? You also don't see people actually walking/driving/biking somewhere the whole way. Or sleeping from beginning to end... That's not something you see that is actually not happening in real life. Like table cloths and turning your head for ten seconds at a time while driving...
Showers in the movies are there for crying or having sex. Not for washing.
Or tie you to a chair and give you a long speech about the origins of his evilness and his urge to destroy the world, while giving you the time to scramble up your knife/car keyes and free yourself, much to his surprise.
The only exception being the car chase in see no evil, hear non evil. Cracks me up every time. "Look at the road!"... "Ok if it make you feel better"
Nobody ever grabs bacon. They grab a bagel or an apple and say: goodbye honey! :D
like...what? if the person were really there, you would've just slapped them in the face countless times, and woken them up...
Hello, I am a person in a movie who was just fired. I am carrying my stuff and a plant in a small cardboard box.
No, it's always a little boy or girl carrying the library of congress in a suitcase without wheels
also, you're a hacker and you type random stuff super fast, then...your solution!!
And massage really badly. How hard is it to find out how a masseur would start a massage and do that? They're all large movements that would show on camera, I can see that doing it badly is better visually than doing it correctly.
Well, I brush(and floss) my teeth every time I finish a meal, or snack, etcc. But for the last 40 years I havent used a scintlilla of tooth paste , cause I use a grinded tree (Joazeiro) bark as a cleaning soap. Not very palatable, but much more effective.
Meanwhile, the soundtrack has you constantly upshifting, ten, fifteen, infinity times.
Hello, I am a person in a movie and some police officers visit me to ask me about a case that happened 20 years ago. And of course I remember everything with every small detail (whereas I can't even remember what I ate last week!)
And I never hesitate if asked for an alibi, I know exactly what I have done every hour of days, weeks or months ago.

I can take days off work with no notice, and can instantly afford first class plane tickets on the first flight out of here to tell someone something that I apparently can't tell them on the phone, and that I spent the whole rest of the movie not telling them.
Also, there's always an available seat on the plane.

I always ask in the dark downstairs " Who is there?" And the answer sadly never is "Just we pea cans".
