This troper was watching the ''{{Futurama}}'' episode once where Zap Brannigan plants a bomb in Bender's chest that will explode when Bender says "ass". Near the end of the episode when it's revealed they couldn't remove the bomb and Bender says "What's the use of living if I can't say ass?" The very ''moment'' he gasps in realization of what he said, they cut to an emergency newscast that took up the rest of the episode's time. This troper had never screamed so loud in frustration.

This troper saw the same episode, and saw the same thing happen, and originally thought the newscast was part of a gag. It was ''extremely'' upsetting to find out that it was a genuine news interruption. Up until that point, I thought news interruptions at ''that'' sort of crucial moments only happened in parody.

If memory serves, bomb fails to explode, but later they can't remove it, so its reprogrammed to go off with a word Bender would never say. After the FadeToBlack, he says "antiquing", you hear an explosion, and the screen flashes white. This Troper hates, ''hates'', ''HATES'' this trope with a passion. There is nothing more frustrating than for there to be all this buildup to some monumental reveal... and it doesn't happen (this troper isn't nearly as bothered when something is brought up momentarily and never elaborated on. It's the buildup coupled with the not-reveal that induces mouth-frothing). It represents one of two things to him:

1. It's a TakeOurWordForIt scenario. The author(s) simply cannot think up an event, name, etc. that would live up to the expectations of the fans. Hoverer, this reason isn't anywhere near as common as the next reason,

2. Laziness. This is the "unwilling" of the "unwilling or unable" scenario. Of course, there are other reasons, but as a writing enthusiast, it bothers me that the writer(s) can't be arsed to come up with an explanation. It should be noted that there ''is'' a difference between mentioning something offhandedly and never exploring it, and deliberately withholding a crucial piece of the plot because the writers think it makes them look clever. And the truth is, it just becomes a whole bunch of wasted effort that would have been better put to use elsewhere.

Because of his hatred for this trope, This Troper avoids it entirely in his writing, and will create notes explaining every detail of his stories, even if such details never make an appearance in the story (the notes are good for reference).

Breaking Dawn. Enough said.

In R.E. class (Religious Education, in case you don't have it), we were on the topic Medical Ethics, which included such lovely things as abortion and euthanasia. Whilst on the topic of Abortion, we had to watch this video about a teenage girl who gets pregnant and seriously considers and discusses whether she should get an abortion or not. The teacher stopped the video when the girl is talking to a doctor, who's going through what she could do, and she never put the video back on to watch the end. For WEEKS I was sitting in her classes thinking "Did she get the abortion or not?" Eventually, unable to stop my curiosity any longer, I ask my teacher...only to be told that that was actaully where the video ended, and that it isn't specified whether she got it done or not. Needless to say, I was pissed.

This sort of thing happens ''all the time'' in real life. Every time you ask someone to repeat what they just said and hear "don't worry about it" in return, chances are you're never going to hear what they were talking about.

This troper is pissed off because at the very end of the {{Umineko}} series, we still don't know what really happened on that eventful day. However, now it's all about putting the information together to find out who the culprit is and choosing which arc is the real one and what not.
