>smart character becomes dumb>starts acting like a horny little cockslut
For sit-coms with status quos they need to contrive a reason for the status quo to return.So a newly-smart character must return to being dumb. And them becoming pompous is a natural conflict to allow that to happen.
>>152055701Patrick is always a prick
>>152055852This, if you have a funny show then having a Flowers for Algernon ending is too depressing for people. If the character is a dick then them going back to being stupid isn't as sad if they're humble as well.
>>152055701Sandy has boobs, right? Its just the shitty new seasons retconning that she actually has developed mammalries underneath her bikini, right??
>>152055726This needs to happen more often but with nerdy girls
characters in a show can only be as intelligent as their writers, for the same reason you can't emulate a PS5 on a gameboy. It's usually safest to fall back on stereotypes in that case.
>>152055701knowledge makes way for ego and then arrogancelack of knowledge leads to bliss and ignorance
>dumb character becomes smart>tries to kill his friends
>>152056334No
>>152055852Also, as a bonus it teaches the cattle-slaves that being smart is bad and they're better off remaining ignorant and easily controlled. Only the rich and powerful really deserve the gift of intelligence.
>>152055701i liked the way dexter's lab went about it - dee dee becomes way smarter than dexter, tries to be as accommodating as she reasonably can until she gets enough of his tantrums and goes off to outdo him on her own>>152057068not really, the most arrogant people in the world are always the most uneducated and the more knowledge you have the more aware you are of how much you still don't know
>>152057155>a body has been discovered!
>OP is too young and stupid to not get the Flowers for Algernon reference the thread
>>152056087>who you callin' prickhead?
>>152057044Have you ever heard of the term "dickmatize"Can turn an brilliant physicist to double digit IQ cockslut with the zip if a fly.
>>152057178Obsessed
>>152055701To be fair, the realization that you're much more capable than you initially thought can result in a huge confidence boost that can be mistaken for snobbery if you don't also have the emotional intelligence boost to learn how to appear humble.
>>152058290I went and read it after seeing your post and now I'm sad.
>>152057073This is the only "dumb character becomes smart" episode I ever liked, because Sheen doesnt really become an asshole, he becomes an actual fucking god and stops relating to normal people altogether.
>>152057155>the last panel of a doujin
>>152058986>stops relating to normal people altogether.He was already there.
>>152058290>not knowing a random book that only /lit/heads read makes you dumb
>>152057480>standing in her brother's lab full of crazy inventions she didn't make >still feels the need to act superior to him
You know what handled this really well? Archie's Weird Mysteries.The character who became super smart was taken down a peg when he was asked to explain the things he just said and realized that his knowledge of all this stuff was basically just mindless trivia since he never actually developed the thinking skills to grapple with all the knowledge in his head. He couldn't invent things or apply knowledge, he was basically just turned into a modern google-fu guy.

>>152059197you guys always find a way to take a silly cartoon way too personally i swear
>>152055701I would totally fuck Sandy up the ass while Patrick watches
>>152055701Because eing smart is evil and being a retard rules in fact Im not even going to bother continuing this post in a coherent wjljwejoprwqiooiveofebio;oieif39rqpepopij re re FUCK YOU DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE I RAPE YOUR DAD TO DEATH AND SHIT DOWN HIS THROAT AND CONSUME HIM WHOLE
>>152059072>>152058986all that episode showed is that if sheen had ultraman-like abilities he absolutely would use them for selfish evil deeds and that's hilarious
>>152056334Yes, she is a girl squirrel. In one bizare episode, she also removes her fur to take a shower. Waiting for an obsessed coomer to edit the show scene so she is nude.https://www.tiktok.com/@hey.diesel/video/7498171254097333550
>>152059174>only /lit/heads readFlowers for Algernon is highschool English class core as fuck. Plenty of people have read it
>>152058290but charlie didn't become an asshole he just realized how hot his caretaker was
>>152055701>dumb character becomes smart>they're in constant pain from thinking too much
>>152055701Rabbids Invasion has an episode where one of the Rabbids becomes smart, but they don't turn into a jerk. Instead they change back because all the insane Rabbids find them weird.
>>152055701Patrick intentionally chooses to not use his brain because otherwise he would go back to being a criminal mastermind.
>>152060510I had a different take on the episode, not that I took it personally. One day you'll understand what a different opinion is.
>poor character gets rich>wastes it all in a VERY short time >changes and acts like a cunt>drr friendship is most importantsick of this story and narrative. especially when it's jews writing the shit
>>152061664>poor character gets rich>they distribute the wealth equally amongst their friends>it's a Stalinist episode
>>152060510Are you retarded?
>>152055701DuckTales 2017 broke away from this.
>>152055701I always hated this trope, I would prefer if they simply used there knowledge really dumb stuff
>>152055701>it's a monkey's paw wish that just makes everyone else dumberhonestly one of few bad episodes of Reboot.
>>152061199>Charlie's coworkers used to make him the butt of their jokes because they knew he wouldn't get them.>One day Charlie does get the jokes.>Everyone goes, "oh shit!"
>>152055701Adventure Time and Gravity Falls turned this into "dumb character realizes they were formerly smart and it's a metaphor for dementia."
>>152056334yea
>>152055701>>152061664These kinds of things are the pitfalls of episodic TV that /co/ so desperately wants to go back to. For all its faults, streaming can afford to ignore this kind of thing because status quo is not important due to the whole mini-series structure getting popularized.

>>152055701this is prevalent across cartoon media, OP>dumb character becomes smart>starts acting like an arrogant prick>poor character becomes rich>starts acting like an arrogant prick>fat character becomes skinny>starts acting like an arrogant prick>weak character becomes strong>starts acting like an arrogant prick>ugly character becomes beautiful>starts acting like an arrogant prickits to remind the goyim children to know their place. never dream of more.
>>152064770>>weak character becomes strong>>starts acting like an arrogant prickalways immediately reminds me of the bodybuilder episode of late KoTH. man, i always hated that one popping up in reruns. i love koth but as i got older i realized how many episodes i genuinely dont want to watch. some of them aren't even near-finale seasonal rot either.
>>152064801Reminded me of the Family ep where Joe gets the use of his legs back. "SO SAY GOOD MORNING!"
>>152065003*Guy
>>152055701many such cases
>>152061664>poor character becomes rich>they're frugal, they keep their money>the status quo doesn't change>future episodes show them doing things like paying for group dinners, paying for gas, paying bail>the show never calls attention to this
>>152065003Pretty sure all the long-runners (Spongebob, Family Guy, Simpsons) have done literally all these plots >>152064770

are you all going to be a smartholes too?
>>152057073WITH A SUPER-POWERED MIND
>>152055701If you're at all familiar with SpongeBob SquarePants, you'd know Patrick is ALWAYS an arrogant prick.
>smart character becomes even smarter>questions their own existence and quits being a villian because nothing matters anymore Gaaaayyyyy
>>152064386What?
Don't Hug Me I'm Scared had the right idea.>Dumb character becomes smart>Sees that everyone else is an arrogant prick and ditches them
The twist that he replaced his cranium with brain coral makes no sense. It's called that because it looks like gray matter, and it would have felt much different than a starfish limb. The implication that Patrick could pick up a working brain off the ground and somehow know everything his old brain did is mind-boggling.
>>152064770Remember when they made Barney sober in The Simpsons and just, never did anything with that and reverted him back with no fanfare?
>>152072680That's how I feel browsing this board everyday
>>152061140It was weird because they angled certain scenes to "cover" her, but she's still wearing the bikini.
