Compressed Vice	comment	The plotline has a character display some vice, flaw, prejudice, addiction or other negative attribute or behavior, which said character has never before this point shown any signs of suffering from, but which they then engage in solely as the setup for some sort of One Shot gag or An Aesop. (In some cases, the plot claims/suggests that they've always had this problem, even though previous episodes show otherwise.) It then vanishes totally after the end of the gag and/or plot. Sometimes this is meant to serve as Character Development, but due to the entire process being constrained to that one single episode, it's not very convincingnote In the case of substance addictions, a common form of this trope, there are very few substances that are instantly addictive; most addictions, including common ones such as tobacco and pot smoking or alcoholism, require repeated exposure over time (certainly longer than the average timeframe of a TV episode, for example) before the addiction takes hold. And most addictions are not defeated in a short time-frame either, with many considering it a lifetime condition. Other vices, such as prejudice, similarly don't usually instantly come and go. If the creators are more consistent about the issue, it becomes a largely Informed Flaw which drives several distinct episodes but still is never observed in a character outside them. Shows up frequently in Very Special Episode, although rarely in the Too Smart for Strangers variant for obvious reasons... This is distinct from writers adding enduring flaws to a Flat Character, or hypocrisy no one notices. If the character has to try to lose the vice in the same episode, they'll find Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere (but will usually not get "Flowers for Algernon" Syndrome afterwards). Compare Compressed Abstinence, Long-Lost Uncle Aesop, Can't Get Away with Nuthin', Characterization Marches On, Jerkass Ball, Idiot Ball, Temporarily Exaggerated Trait. This trope is a sub-trope of Backstory of the Day. Examples

Compressed Vice / int_111a44e	comment	Himitsu no Akko-chan, the original 1969 series, manages to wish a Compressed Vice to the main character, just to scare her into her personal Aesop. In episode 32, aptly named "_____", upon meeting a deaf-mute kid, Akko-chan, out of empathy and curiosity, wishes to her magic mirror to be a deaf-mute version of herself. Upon discovering that, being speechless, she can't wish anymore, and she'll be stuck that way forever, Akko-chan breaks apart, feeling scared and useless until the mirror, reasoning that she got her Aesop about hasty wishes and physical ailments, and she understood the true courage of her new friend (who will never be seen around for the rest of the series), lifts the wish on its own accord.

However, after Dave goes back in time and alters the event that causes him to start smoking, he is surprised to find that he has no addiction at all... and the other characters assure him he never did, smoking was never relevant to any of their adventures, and they are confused when he brings it up. The author even devotes a filler comic to two fans explaining how the previous plots where his habit was a key point make sense without it.

While it only lasts an episode, there's a FOUR MONTH Time Skip in the middle, in which Jake moves out after finding Finn's behavior creepy. "Power Animal" gives Jake extreme ADHD. He has shown a short attention span in other episodes, but never to the absurd life-threatening levels shown here. One episode has Jake ignore Finn because he's supposedly always making up fake adventures. Whether the Compressed Vice is Finn's (for lying) or Jake's (for disbelieving Finn) isn't clear, since the adventure Finn is talking about is real, but at the end he does make one up.

Compressed Vice / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons has been doing this every week for the past decade. Though some have come to receive Continuity Nods every now and then. Minor but still worth mentioning: Marge being obsessed with visiting Paris (and being occasionally disappointed when the show's constant use of the Vacation Episode doesn't take the family there) was a Running Gag that continued long after the family actually lived there as ex-pats for an unknown amount of time (long enough to become fed up and go back to the United States) in the episode "Bart Mangled Banner". Another aversion is mentioned in the episode where Lisa begins having an eating disorder, due to suddenly getting body-image issues. Homer looks at her at the end of the episode, waiting for her to mention the moral she learned, but Lisa admits that — like many people — she is still suffering from these body-images and isn't sure how soon it might disappear, if at all. A few episodes still make references to her having these problems. Her being a vegetarian was also a character detail that never went away (by contractual obligation to Paul McCartney, even) but the show has provided a few gags that Lisa still has a love for eating meat that she has to consciously struggle against (like loving to smell the all-meat meals Homer eats). One of the most flagrant examples of this in the episode "Fear of Flying", which suddenly introduced Marge's titular phobia and linked it to several incidents in her childhood despite an earlier episode ("Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington") having had the family go on a flight with no incident whatsoever. The plot of the episode "Kill Gil, Vols. 1 & 2" revolves around Straw Loser Gil Gunderson becoming The Thing That Would Not Leave in the Simpson house for almost a whole year because Marge is unable to tell him "no" and takes that long to build up the rage to finally say it. Marge Simpson, who is the biggest nay-sayer and nag in the whole series to the point that multiple episodes either revolve around her negativity ruining the lives of everybody else in the cast or make mention that she has a well-known reputation as one among all of the people in Springfield. She even gets a quick flashback to her childhood for convenient Freudian Excuse. A Running Gag in the form of Homer's "life-long dream" changing every time it comes up, and Marge pointing this out (what Marge states to be Homer's actual life-long dream also changes each time). One episode had Bart's hellion tendencies stemming from Homer's inability to punish Bart for his bad behavior. The same Homer who routinely strangles him for misbehaving. Which was then the focus of another episode when he went to a parenting class because strangling Bart as punishment was inappropriate. So Bart is either a borderline sociopath (at least by Lisa's standards) because Homer strangles him or Homer strangling him for anything Homer perceives as a slight is the one thing in the universe that prevents him from literally taking over Springfield Stewie Griffin-style. Both Homer and Marge had separate displays of homophobia, punctuated even further by both of them showing the opposite opinion in each other's bouts. In Homer's case, he not only doesn't care about other men that he's befriended (because of plot reasons) being gay but he's so dumb that he doesn't even notice said men are gay no matter how blatant they are until another member of the family (normally whoever is the one showing discomfort this time) flat-out points it out to him. "Girls Just Want to Have Sums" has the extremely common, and extremely annoying, case of this trope where male characters become inexplicably misogynistic in order to justify a Straw Feminist taking over the school so they can preach a message about gender equality. While Bart and Homer have been sexist in the past, Principal Skinner, despite acknowledging in the past that Lisa is the best student in the school, makes a crack about a former student's less-than-perfect math grades being because she's a girl, setting off the events of the episode. One episode has Mr. Burns being mistaken for an alien because he glows in the dark, thanks to his continuous exposure to the power plant's toxic wastes. This trait never comes up again. Like every other trope under the sun, this one has been Lampshaded by the show, too. In an episode where the family goes to a horse race, Lisa worries that Marge's intense reactions to the race means she's developing a gambling addiction. The Comic Book Guy stands up in front of them, points out that Marge already has a gambling problem, and declares this the Worst Episode Ever. "The Heartbroke Kid" has Bart suddenly get hooked on junk food when Springfield Elementary gets new vending machines. He becomes severely obese in just three weeks, and even has a heart attack. He kicks his new addiction as quickly as he developed it when he discovers that his parents had turned their home into a youth hostel to pay for the Fat Camp to which they had sent him.

Most evident in "Edward Strikes Out", where he suddenly develops a rather callous case of Fantastic Racism towards Rocky. Later episodes seem to settle for making him rather self-conscious, which was at least vaguely referred to in the original episodes (if not nearly to the same extent).

Compressed Vice / int_455e3038	comment	King of the Hill: One episode revolves around Hank's obsession with his guitar. Peggy claims that he pays more attention to the guitar than to her despite the fact that it's the only episode in which the guitar appears. It was eventually replaced with a similar vice: him treating the family dog Ladybird extremely well, sometimes better than he treats Bobby or Peggy. This one, however, stayed through the entire series. Peggy again claims that Hank was ignoring her and was spending more time with Bobby who was doing well in Home Ec., though this was more from the longer-running character flaw of Peggy that she has to be the center of attention and acknowledged as the best at everything, even when it's incredibly clear that she's not. Bobby taking up cooking was something she supported at first until it became clear he was better at it than her and getting more attention from Hank as a result. They also had an episode (Keeping Up With Our Joneses) in which the whole family took up smoking, and was over it by the end credits. It does at least go to the trouble of explaining that both Hank and Peggy were apparently smokers at some point in the past, but quit after Bobby was conceived. Hank is also seen smoking once, in a later episode (Hanky Panky) during a severely stressful situation. The episode "The Honeymooners" suddenly depicts Hank's mother Tilly as being selfish, wild, reckless, and out of control. She also cheats on her husband Gary whom she loved dearly, and divorces him for a man she just met. The other characters act like she's always behaved this way.

But then, many examples can be taken from the show where people get over things (emotionally or physically) way faster than they should realistically be able to — Tony having major surgery after being shot but getting straight back to work just a couple of hours later, for example. The heroin thing was handwaved by Jack being given some vague other drug that would mask the withdrawal symptoms for about a day, i.e. the rest of the season, after the writers realized it was becoming more trouble than it was worth. heir focus episode.

Harold adds that he noticed the compulsion in Trent around the time Trent first noticed Gwen liked him, which was in the previous season, but there's zero evidence of that as the two were on opposite teams and didn't interact until both of them were eliminated. "The Princess Pride" suddenly makes a case for Lindsay's feet being inexcusably huge, even opting to never showing her bare feet onscreen, to justify the role of the princess going to Courtney when Lindsay can't fit into the glass slippers. Lindsay's bare feet would be fully visible in previous and later episodes, looking no bigger than any other girls'.

It comes out of nowhere to justify a 'women are strong' Aesop that seemed to just be an excuse to put tight leather outfits on underage girls. "Target X" has a downplayed example. The episode's B-plot has Scott and Jean struggling to teach the younger X-kids, as all of them act disrespectfully. This wouldn't be out of character for some, but Amara/Magma is included in those misbehaving. Literally every other episode portrayed her as a Shrinking Violet who also respects Jean as an older sister figure.

May be somewhat justified since Larry believes breaking a good luck charm has resulted in sudden bad luck, but also extremely coincidental with Ray's "Lesson of the Day" Speech about how there's no such thing as luck (since Lorena's clumsiness vanishes after this episode). Another Lorena one in "You Go Girl". She suddenly becomes passionate about gender equality and being included, with Sonia having a realization about gender imbalances in the family. Ray in particular suddenly acts rather chauvinistically, treating the housework as something entirely for Sonia to do. Lorena was never not included in the brothers' schemes and if she wasn't, it was because of her constant snitching on them rather than because she was a girl. Could possibly be hand waved as something she spontaneously picked up from reading a magazine.

The episode ends with Static and Adam giving a brief speech about dyslexia and the issue is never brought up again. This is particularly egregious since Adam was previously shown reading normally. One previous episode even had him state "I still have all this fan mail to read" as he picks up, opens, and begins to read said mail — and when he's retconned into being dyslexic, the fact that none of his fan mail has been opened is the first clue that he has difficulty reading.

Compressed Vice / int_60f02ddb	comment	American Dad!: "Office Spaceman" reveals that Francine has a hatred of left-handed people because she was originally left-handed herself as a child, but a nun she was raised by was convinced that lefties were evil and disciplined her into using her right. At the end of the episode when Steve and Hayley get her to accept the fact she's left-handed, she tries to get used to being a lefty again and handles tasks like you would expect a right-handed person doing tasks with their left for the first time would do, from writing on the shopping list illegibly to slitting Steve's throat with a butter knife (he got better). "The Wrestler" has Stan obsessed with his wrestling record from high school, with a room in his house devoted to the trophies, and Francine is sick of hearing about his wrestling career and touring his museum. Odd, then, that none of the previous 126 episodes had mentioned any of this. Lampshaded by Steve commenting that he's lived in the house all his life and has never seen the wrestling museum before. "Pulling Double Booty" suddenly reveals that Hayley has severe anger issues when being dumped (by "severe", we mean "rampaging death machine"), even though she was dumped by an illegal immigrant in "American Dream Factory" and harmed nobody (though she did immediately call the FBI to capture and deport him, though it was a far more controlled tantrum she soon regretted), and yet the episode implies she's been The Berserker since she was a child. "Lost in Space" displays Jeff as incredibly neglectful toward Hayley in their relationship. Even considering that the compilation was rigged to leave out all the good times they shared, it's hard to buy that an Extreme Doormat like Jeff would ever look like the bad guy at all given Hayley's more consistently callous portrayal (Stan mentions in the aforementioned "Pulling Double Booty" that she dumped Jeff at least once a week before they got married). A combination of this trope and Forgot About His Powers is one of the main contributors to Stan's Badass Decay as well as his status as a Designated Villain. Many episodes will have Stan develop a completely new never before seen flaw that is usually completely contradictory to his previous skillset. The plot of the episode "Finger Lenting Good" pretty much revolves around this trope, where the family vows to rid their bad habits during Lent or else Bullock will cut off the finger of the person who cracks first. The bad habits in question — Stan's constant shouting in anger, Francine's smoking habit, Steve's excessive crying, Hayley's junk food addiction and Jeff's constant hugging — only show up in this episode and never reappear.note Francine's smoking did pop up now and again, but seldom enough to count for this trope, and while Stan and Steve are regularly portrayed as overbearing and wimpy, respectively, it's not to the extent in this episode Similarly, "Dr. Klaustus" focuses on the Smiths secretly disrespecting each other in ways that have never come up before: Stan has eaten out after work to avoid Francineâ€™s apparently horrendous cooking for a decade (despite regularly eating her meals in other episodes), Francine steals $50 from Stan's wallet for drugs every week, Hayley plays Ultimate Frisbee without Jeff because he plays it poorly (never mind that she's never shown any interest in the game before now), Jeff cannot get aroused with Hayley unless he thinks of Francine, and Steve has Greg and Terry pose as his parents in front of his girlfriend because he's ashamed of Stan and Francine. All of them are also presented as being pathologically incapable of listening to anything Klaus says unless they're not looking directly at the talking fish; Klaus is a Butt-Monkey, but they aren't usually THIS callous toward him.

Compressed Vice / int_671d5c19	comment	The Powerpuff Girls (1998): The episode "Cover Up" reveals that Buttercup psyches herself up to fight crime by privately stroking a green blanket while repeatedly muttering "I am a good fighter". She's so dedicated to this ritual that she's late to helping her sisters save the day, despite flying out with them before and after this episode, and goes hysterical when the blanket disappears. Blossom tricks her with an ordinary rag, and when Buttercup gets back the real one that Professor was actually washing the whole time, her sisters shame her out of dependence. What makes this particularly odd is that Bubbles, who regularly sleeps with a stuffed octopus and keeps a large pile of stuffed animals, is just as judgmental as Blossom. An even more egregious example is shown in "Moral Decay", in which Buttercup becomes obsessed with trying to make as much money as possible by knocking out the foes' teeth and putting them under her pillow for the tooth fairy to take in exchange for the money. Buttercup has never been known for Greed, and it even gets worse when she even attack the villains unprovoked just to gain as much money as possible without a single motivation on what she even wants to do with the money. It's especially bad when you consider that Buttercup's role in this episode was so villainous she might as well be just Princess Morbucks in disguise.

Given that their linking scenes have the feel of love scenes, and that he neglects other duties to link with her, his actions seem to be a metaphor for sex addiction. This was merely a rare lapse in Odo's normal ability to keep his emotions closely guarded. Several episodes mention or deal with how important Linking is to him and his species, and how much it's the thing he's most forsaking in order to reject The Founder's actions. There was a late episode, where there was a homicidal shapeshifter on the station, and the other main characters responded by revealing their prejudice against shapeshifters, which had never been hinted at before, even after years of fighting a Dominion run by shapeshifters. Might have been partly explained by that particular shapeshifter constantly harping about how everyone else was prejudiced against him for being so superior to them (which inclined them to treat him like a jerk). Odo's friends make an effort to be nice to the stand-offish stranger at first, but he brushes them off and accuses them of trying to make Odo an Uncle Tom.

Compressed Vice / int_746814ae	comment	A few episodes of Arthur involve this. One that sticks out is "Arthur Weighs In", where Arthur has an obesity/weight management problem when he had shown few to no signs of this in prior episodes (one would expect it to be Big Eater Buster Baxter to have this problem, and Arthur looks no bigger than usual either). Arthur also suddenly becomes a bully out of nowhere when he continually teases Sue Ellen about her funny-looking sweater in "So Funny I Forgot To Laugh", it makes it seem like Arthur, one of the least likely characters to become a bully and who was often teased by his classmates in prior episodes, was just made a bully for the sake of having An Aesop about bullying. Flagrant is an apt description. Yet another episode, "Buster Gets Real" involves Buster giving up Bionic Bunny in favor of a reality show about employees at a supermarket because it's more true to life. This happens for no other reason than for Arthur to learn that you can still be friends with someone with different interests than you. It's especially ridiculous given that the character involved is the one whose most defining trait is his obsession with fantastical stuff, so the idea of Buster rejecting something on the grounds of it being unrealistic is just absurd. To top it all off, Buster's like for said reality show is never brought up again, and he is seen still enjoying Bionic Bunny in later episodes. "Speak Up, Francine" is driven by the fact that Francine has severe Stage Fright, even though by that point in the show's run she had long been established to have no issues with being up on stage performing in front of or speaking to a bunch of people (and having done so a few times completely by herself).

Upon witnessing the spectacle, George is startled enough to later ask Jerry if he's seen it before, to which Jerry reacts with shell-shocked horror and obvious familiarity ("Did she do the little kicks and the thumbs?") The problem is further sold as an old one with a Flashback to Jerry watching Elaine dance for the first time five years prior, complete with both wearing some of their early 90s Iconic Outfits and Elaine's "wall of hair," which had been phased out a season or two earlier. It's still a little hard to buy that Jerry is the only member of the group who's ever seen her dance before, given that the episode is part of the show's penultimate season and they've been almost inseparable for nearly a decade at this point. (There's a clear implication that Kramer has never seen it either, as when he does he immediately hits her with the Brutal Honesty she should have heard years ago).

It's so bad that even when the bus is stopped in traffic he gets ill. This has never been mentioned before or since, not even the times where he rode with his family in their car up to a campsite in "The Other Exchange Student" or in the Season 2 episode "Friend-enemies" where he partied in a bus, sang karaoke, and even rode around on a white tiger (sort of) with absolutely no problems whatsoever.

Compressed Vice / int_8d7f29ec	comment	Glee: In "The Power of Madonna", the boys are suddenly shown mistreating the girls in various ways in order to set up the feminist message of the episode. This is incredibly jarring because, for instance, Artie is shown being rude and misogynistic to Tina, even though he has never displayed this attitude before (though he would display it again in the future). A few other examples include Mercedes developing a borderline eating disorder (cured by a granola bar and a "Don't worry, you're beautiful" talk), Rachel becoming self-conscious about her big nose (cured by a song and dance number), everyone becoming a heavy drinker (cured by solemn talk from Mr. Schue) and Tina all of a sudden being jealous of Rachel (cured when she's promised solos next year, which incidentally never happens). Ryder is suddenly revealed to have crippling dyslexia. It isn't cured or mentioned again and he's able to read perfectly in a later season. At the beginning of Puppet Master Blaine inexplicably becomes an insufferable control freak, which is then promptly cured by the end of the episode. The latter seasons in general tended to make excessive use of this to compensate for the increasingly thin overarching story-lines. Rachel learned every other episode either that she shouldn't apologize for the ambition or that sometimes friendship is more important than ambition, Depending on the Writer. Sue learns not to be a psychopath and that the Glee club is not so bad a few times per season. Shue learns not to impose himself too much on the Glee club a little more often than necessary. Santana and Quinn learn to be kind Finn and Puck (and to a lesser extent the cheerleaders) also constantly learn that popularity isn't everything

However, the protocol was never used or mentioned in any other episodes. To make matters worse, the girls explain the Protocol to Lincoln as if it's the first time he's heard of it, and he reacts that way too. Are we sure he wasn't adopted? In "Green House", the Loud house is shown to have a massive carbon footprint, as each sister does things that are bad for the environment. Lincoln convinces the sisters to moderate their consumption of resources, but they get annoyed when they see him play the hypocrite with them and in the end they all go back to their eco-unfriendly ways, which they never display again afterwards, nor is the house's carbon footprint ever brought up again. In "Spell It Out", Lucy gets constantly overlooked by her siblings, having her activities interrupted or her objects destroyed by accident. Lucy treats this behavior from them as the norm, despite how there was never any sign before or after that of the siblings being this neglectful of Lucy. In "The Mad Scientist", Lisa is continually pestered by her siblings, interrupting her videoconference. There is also no evidence before or after that that Lisa's work is constantly interrupted by her siblings.

Compressed Vice / int_9a1a8272	comment	Odd Squad: The conflict of "Recipe for Disaster" is driven by Olive and Otto being on bad terms with each other and seeing each other in a negative light — Olive thinks Otto is too immature and laid-back, while Otto thinks Olive takes things far too seriously. This is despite the fact that their partner chemistry is strong and they're never shown having a full-blown argument even once throughout the season. In "Flatastrophe", Oprah becomes quite vain when Otto takes her six pieces of artwork (a Shout-Out to "Marilyn Diptych") and she complains that she has nothing beautiful to look at before holding up a mirror and looking at her reflection. While she does hold herself in high standards, it's not usually to It's All About Me degrees. Another Oprah-related example occurs in "Not So Splash" where the driving force of the episode is her treating swimming as an emotional crutch for her and getting upset enough to give Implied Death Threats to Olive and Otto when she tells them what will happen if she is unable to swim. In "Odd Squad Needs You", Oscar is shown being fearful of Oprah when Otis offers to make the titular commercial with her as the lead actress, because in his own words, "You can't boss the boss!" While he does display fear and surprise at Oprah's actions at times, it's usually subtle, and it never goes to such an extent that he hides to get away from her and her presumed wrath like in the episode. In "Running on Empty", Omar, who is already well-known as The Ditz, decides to take hold of the Idiot Ball and become even more stupid than he is originally, prioritizing playing games with Oswald to get to know him better over catching a blob. He's never shown to be this dumb in any future episode. This trope ends up being one of the major flaws in the Story Arc for the first half of Season 3. In "End of the Road", it's revealed that Opal was too overprotective of Olizabeth, and because of it, she dropped out of the Academy and became a villain instead while Opal graduated and became an agent. However, Opal has never displayed such a trait throughout the season, and while she does show concern for her teammates' safety at times, it's never taken to Safety Worst extremes. In "Nature of the Sandbeast", Orla develops an inflated ego when telling her story of how Dr. Dry got the titular Sandbeast's golden egg. While she is known to be smug at times, she usually resorts to Brutal Honesty rather than egotism.

Compressed Vice / int_a183d57f	comment	Futurama: In one episode, Bender reveals that he cannot get up if he is knocked onto his back. By the end of the episode, he learns how to overcome this. Lampshaded by Fry pointing out that Bender has never once had this problem before, to which Bender responds that every other time he was always lying slightly on his side. One episode gave Bender an obsession with being remembered — something he'd never even hinted about caring about before. It does manage to become a bit of a recurring character trait tied to his ego and budding megalomania. Another episode parodies this. Four of Bender's ten most frequently used words were words he only used in that episode. This came with the bonus that some of said words were added into his regular slew of catchphrases ("Hot diggity daffodil!"). Bender's irrational hatred of Nibbler lasts exactly one episode. At the beginning of "Neutopia", every male Planet Express employee is suddenly misogynist, and all the female employees suddenly act like stereotypical women. It probably was just to get the plot going, but still. There's also the earlier episode of Amazon Women in the Mood, where Fry becomes as chauvinistic as Zapp Brannigan, despite usually being a well-meaning idiot. The two episodes are far apart enough to be a case of this trope. In "Benderama", Bender is psychotically lazy, to the point that it's his only defining trait in that episode. The human crew's sudden (and inconsistent) robot racism in "Fear of a Bot Planet" is flagrant. Leela and Amy are suddenly extremely vitriolic and competitive towards one another in "The Butterjunk Effect", when they've gotten along fine in every other episode. Made even weirder by the fact that Fry states that they've always been this way. While Amy and Leela did have a somewhat vitriolic relationship before, it seemed to be mostly Amy having No Social Skills instead of her intentionally trying to piss Leela off, and Leela would normally respond with an annoyed expression. In this episode, her jabs are entirely intentional and Leela's responses are a lot more direct. In "The Prisoner of Benda", Amy is suddenly an extreme glutton. However, her childhood obesity was a Running Gag prior to that episode, so it's more a sudden decision to fall Off the Wagon. In the first "Anthology of Interest", Leela is suddenly very inhibited and unimpulsive. While the Straight Man of the group, she definitely had moments of impulsiveness (such as ejecting a delivery mid-flight just so she could rush to do something else) and said episode stood out as even weirder as later episodes would make her overly impulsive. Bender's Big Score plays this for a gag, when, after drinking a six-pack of cheap beer, Bender (who is a robot) declares "For the first time ever, I gotta use the bathroom." In "The Sting", Leela, usually the team's voice of reason, turns out to be almost suicidally competitive, going on an unnecessary mission and putting herself and her crew in mortal danger to prove themselves superior to Farnsworth's previous crew (who died on the mission in question). This trait does recur in the episode "MÃ¶bius Dick" and the movie Bender's Game. In "The Ghost in the Machines", Fry is suddenly scared of just about everything, from parade balloons to bars of soap. This makes Bender's goal of literally scaring him to death almost too easy. Parodied in the first few minutes of "Free Will Hunting", in which Bender fully cycles through several of these in under 24 hours in a way that would be unbelievable coming from anyone but Bender. In "Proposition Infinity", Amy gets a sudden desire for bad boys, which leads her to being dumped by Kif and hooking up with Bender for the rest of the episode. After Bender dumps her for wanting to stay monogamous, Kif wins her back at the end by adopting some bad boy traits himself, which, along with Amy's bad-boy preferences, are never seen again.

A flashback at the beginning of the second film shows that, even as children, Melman had a crush on Gloria. This is partly due to the fact that a dropped subplot for the first film would've been that Gloria would've been pregnant during the film and Melman, whose crush on her was clear in this version, would've eventually gotten together with Gloria and agree to raise the child with her. Additionally, an inverse case with Melman's hypochondria in the first film, which is completely gone by the sequel. The only hint appears to be his great knowledge of medicine.

Buttercup has never been known for Greed, and it even gets worse when she even attack the villains unprovoked just to gain as much money as possible without a single motivation on what she even wants to do with the money. It's especially bad when you consider that Buttercup's role in this episode was so villainous she might as well be just Princess Morbucks in disguise.

In "Spike At Your Service", the titular character who up until now has been depicted as a reasonably competent and reliable assistant abruptly becomes unbelievably incompetent and clumsy, oafishly stupid and unaware, and incapable of basic tasks he's been shown doing in other episodes just fine all for the sake of some jokes. In "28 Pranks Later", Rainbow Dash plays various inappropriate, cruel pranks and refuses to stop when other point out that what she's doing is wrong; meanwhile, Pinkie Pie laughs at these pranks even while objecting to them. However, in the much earlier episode "Griffon the Brush Off", both were shown to have limits, with Pinkie refusing to prank Fluttershy at all because she wouldn't take it well, and Rainbow seeing Pinkie's point and agreeing not to do it. In the short "Starlight the Hypnotist", Twilight Sparkle is suddenly shown to have a crippling, debilitating, and completely over-the-top fear of ladybugs that dates back to a childhood incident, in spite of her being shown having no problem whatsoever with ladybugs before and her much-beloved "Ladybugs Awake" rhyme. Fans wasted no time making fun of this.

She eventually starts hallucinating sprites from the game. What's especially weird is that Ronald plays video games on the regular and he never seems that obsessed and Alice Boxwood (Ronald's sister) was shown the same game in the same episode and she never developed an obsession. "Martha's Dirty Habit" has a main plot that is about Martha's obsessive digging. While this main plot isn't an example of the trope as she digs a lot anyway and the obsessiveness is said to be something that only happens in springtime, there's a subplot of Daniel Lorraine (Helen's dad) giving up snacking between meals and it shows that Mariella (Helen's mother) has been trying to get him to stop. Not only is there no logical reason for Daniel to stop snacking (he's not sick, doesn't have an eating disorder and is not even overweight), Mariella has never shown any disdain for his snacking before this episode.

They cursed just as much before and after then. Justified with Randy's single-episode struggle with alcoholism. He was pulled over for Drunk Driving and forced to attend AA despite not really being an alcoholic. Impressionable joiner that he is, he takes the "admitting you are helpless to help yourself" part rather too readily to heart, and descends into full-blown dependency, convinced he has a terminal illness that forces him to drink. Though it should be noted later episodes do make him quite the alcoholic but this is the only one that focuses on it to such a degree. Randy again, in the episode "Holiday Special", is revealed to have been a Christopher Columbus fanboy for all of his life, and this comes to bite him back in the ass when he decides to protest Columbus Day by tearing down Columbus statues and worse. Of course, this is just another of his many quirks that were never mentioned before.

Sure, he fought against them a lot, but they were always the aggressors. Consider that much of Kirk's antipathy for the Klingons is said to stem from the fact that they murdered his son back in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. However, Star Trek III featured a scene in which the Klingon directly responsible for that was falling into a lava pit, and Kirk's immediate response was to try to Save the Villain. And yet, three films later, Kirk hates all Klingons due to the actions of a guy whom he was willing to save? Moreover, in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Kirk seemed willing to accept the Klingons when they approached him in a spirit of peace.

This is made worse in hindsight because another episode had them arguing the Doctor was a person, not just an AI, when he was denied rights over the publishing of his holonovel for being a hologram. A further example occurs in a Voyager episode where Chakotay notes that whenever Janeway fiddles with her comm badge it is a tell-tale sign that she's making a big plan. Janeway then performs the incredibly awkward-looking gesture, which she never did before or after that one moment.

The bad habits of Ted, Marshall, Barney, and Robin are noticeable prior to the episode (although Robin's misuse of the word was subtle before it was pointed out), and they still have them in later episodes. Lily's habit of chewing too loudly is a true Compressed Vice, as it appeared only for that episode. Justified in later episodes featuring the characters throwing "interventions" to stop each other's similar minor annoying habits: though Barney's use of magic was featured in previous episodes, other characters' habits had just never been incorporated into Future Ted's unreliable narration. Lily is a frequent victim of this. One episode gave her a complete inability to aim just because the episode was about the group's blind spots in regards to common knowledge (something that doesn't even follow the main theme anyway...), and another episode claimed she had many similarities to Marshall's father just because the episode was about the psychological tendency to end up with someone like your parents. Another episode shows all five characters being habitual cigarette smokers. Previously, Barney, Robin, and Lily had been seen smoking cigars, and it was hinted that Robin smoked cigarettes, but this episode portrayed Robin as practically a chimney. The other characters don't smoke nearly as often but obviously way more than has ever been let on before. Ted's children are stunned at the news. Justified, as Future Ted on-occasion realizes he forgot to mention seemingly-obvious plot points until they became relevant to the story. He's also actively editing content, most notably with his "eating sandwiches" euphemism.

When the others berate Chandler for his smoking, he rattles off a list of their annoying habits that he puts up with, such as Joey's knuckle-cracking, Phoebe chewing her hair and Monica snorting when she laughs. None of them ever came up before (though this is understandable since it's only the third episode) or after. The cracks about Ross over-pronouncing words and Rachel screwing up drink orders at work don't apply as both remain character traits beyond that episode. An episode that shows less respect for continuity comes in the Season Five New Year's episode where Rachel suddenly turns into a gossip who can't shut up about her coworkers' dirty laundry. The whole thing turns out to be a plot device to launch us into a Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere plot as Rachel resolves to stop gossiping, and then immediately discovers the unkeepable secret that Chandler and Monica are doin' it. Several episodes made jokes about Chandler being more emotional than the other guys, and "The One With All The Candy" specifically pointed him out as the most likely to cry (and he did). Then, in "The One Where Chandler Can't Cry" it turns out...

Another episode has Chip and Dale suddenly obsessed with tricking each other (followed up by shouting "Got you last, got you best!") when otherwise the only thing they really compete over is Gadget's affections.

Compressed Vice / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: Worf was the victim of this in the episode where a genderless alien species showed up, and he was saying things like it being "unnatural" and the like. This particular prejudice wasn't seen previously in all the cases where he met aliens who didn't have a traditional gender setup and never appeared again.
