    I absolutely hate the trope where they start out with something interesting and have to do a flashback to the parts that led up to it. Like I just had that happen with a sequel to a book I was reading, and I’m really struggling to get started. I fucking hate the

    *cold open to something dramatic happening*

    Record scritch “I bet you’re wondering how I got here. Well, it all started…”

    bullshit trope and its really hard for me to look past some times.

        It was so hard to not reference that scene, because I really agree with Morty but didn’t want to seem like I was just memeing.such a garbage trope…

          You could always refer to the other time Dan Harmon referred to the same trope, with the Community episode where Abed is trying to tell the story through flashbacks, annoying everyone around him.
