Pet peeves in animation

[Ace]

How about a thread to talk about pet peeves in animation? I thought we had one but I think that was when the server was down. Any small things you seem more bothered by than most?

I seem to have a lot of them, but I think my biggest complaints about cartoons go for live-action too (as well as comics and books). My pet peeves seem to involve fiction in general rather than the medium of animation itself.

I don't think I've seen this in anything for a while, but I remember in the 90s I hated it whenever characters would come up with a plot to fool another character and then in the next scene act it out with an obvious sarcastic sounding stilted delivery that wouldn't fool anyone. I guess it was to keep kids up with what was going on, but it always seemed redundant and kind of patronizing when the previous scene has already established what was going on.

Obvious miscommunication romance plots. Hate them. And obvious animation errors but that makes me sound nitpicky.

This applies to live action as well, but when a person telling the truth is made out to be a liar by other characters.

Yeah I hate those plots. So annoying. And then they get outcasted for it.

Overuse of bright highest contrast possible primary colors in cartoons just looks kind of bad to me.
