&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What's on the grill if you're "grillin up some 'good boys'"&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Overly complicated navel-gazing plots in video games, especially those that absolutely do not need plots&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Leaving a Blingee on your ancestor's grave.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A door that is shut but it's not flush with the doorway and the "door ajar" alarm goes off.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A car upgrade where if you partially close the door it closes it the rest of the way for you.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Why don't they make two planes out of the black box material, one on top of the other.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A car door that is in many respects shut.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go back to sleep and wake up properly, dipshit.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Trying to make Shitty Shut happen with Gen Z by getting on TikTok and using a filter that makes you look young and doing meme dances.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Euphemism withdrawal.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Steadfastly refusing to swear but still calling it a shitpost because that's what you call it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The clip art dude sailing across the screen.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Doing one dance and your shadow doing a slightly different dance.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reshooting a scene but keeping the same shadows as before.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pop quiz: sideburn on only one side of the face, or slept on a greasy bench?&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;The additional challenge of a mechanical bull mounted upside down on the ceiling.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Figuring out how to do a special effects shot for a story moment and then deciding to put the effect in every other shot regardless of whether it makes sense.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Watching a 40 year old music video and then tracking down the director and asking if you win a prize for being the first to notice a specific joke.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The falling yellow liquid spilling forth within the billiards bar.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go low, Ken and sons.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Bad boys who are also bad dancers.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Ultimate Good Boy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Running out the time rewind potion.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A puzzle game with story except for the enormous lore dump at the end.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bob's Game.&lt;/li&gt;
