it takes a special brand of infuriating
to piss off fans this much welcome to
watchmojo.com in that made fans rage
quit before we begin we publish new
content every day so be sure to
subscribe to our Channel and ring the
bell to get notified about our latest
videos for this list we’re reluctantly
looking back at outrageous scenes in our
favorite TV shows that drove fans away
whether through bad writing killing off
a beloved character or moments that were
just plain difficult to watch we’ll be
excluding terrible series finales we’re
looking at you Dexter because at that
point it was too late to rage quit
caution there will be heavy spoilers and
even heavier headaches number 10 the
lottery roseanne for the first eight
seasons roseanne was praised by viewers
for its accurate portrayal of the life
of a working-class family however all
that changed in season 9 when the
connors became millionaires after
winning the lottery this might be a
great thing for a family constantly
striving for financial security but it
also completely abandoned the original
theme of daily monetary struggles that
made the sitcom feel so grounded in fact
the whole season became so surreal
that it might as well have just been an
entirely different show you know going a
lot of movies a lot of plays somebody
that will travel would take one of them
fortunately Roseanne winning the lottery
turned out to be just a part of her
coping story at the end of the season
and almost forgiven sweetheart all is
forgiven
number 9 selling out Jesse Breaking Bad
Walt originally hired Jack’s neo-nazi
gang to kill Jesse only to end up in a
trap and almost arrested when the white
supremacists arrive Jesse goes into
hiding but Walt reveals his hiding spot
without a second thought allowing them
to abduct Jesse and make him their meth
slave found him what makes it even worse
is that just when it looks like Walt
wants to call it off he spitefully
reveals instead that he’s allowed
Jesse’s girlfriend to die I could have
seen
I didn’t
while the episode itself has been called
one of the series best well its actions
are nothing less than despicable towards
someone whom he once called a partner
and considering all he’s done to Jesse
already that’s really saying something
number eight Laura Lance’s death
arrow Laurel was Oliver Queen’s main
love interest and the second to dawn the
Black Canary identity while the
character divided fans she struggled
through addiction and persevered to
become a formidable hero in her own
right until the writers suddenly killed
her off in season four even besides the
fact that it broke the arrow canary
tradition her demise restarted all these
violent tendencies reducing Laurel –
woman in refrigerator status upsetting
some fans further it seemed like Laurel
was given the short end of the stick
just to make room for the Oliver
Felicity relationship which has proven a
rocky roller coaster of its own am I
supposed to do an apology Oliver I’m
just supposed to move on number seven
jumping the shark literally happy days
in this infamous episode the Happy Days
gang leave the drive-in diner behind for
the beach where Fonzie water skis over a
jump and a huge shark the Fonz might
have the magic touch when it comes to
fixing the jukebox and being cool but
when did he learn to water-ski seeing
him pull off such an over-the-top stunt
was so ridiculous it had spawned the
phrase jumping the shark used to
describe the moment when a beloved TV
show resorts to cheap gimmicks to try to
stay alive all the times you were gonna
make it huh
yeah I did the Fonz may have made that
jump and silenced the skeptics on the
beach but it would have been best if you
just stayed on shore number six the
wedding Game of Thrones Game of Thrones
has gotten away with some pretty
gruesome content over the years but this
was a whole new level
for starters the episode unbowed unbent
unbroken sees Sansa Stark forced to
marry the sadistic Ramsay Bolton and
that’s not even the worst part
joining to ask a second time by Hades
that night Ramsay orders her to undress
and then rapes her off-camera while the
broken Theon Greyjoy watches with tears
in his eyes
unsurprisingly this scene horrified
viewers thanks to the graphic nauseating
imagery and terrifying tension others
felt that the scene was unnecessary and
only added shock value at least we got
to see Ramsay meet a fitting end in a
later episode number 5 the funeral
two-and-a-half men following Charlie
Sheen’s controversial dismissal from Two
and a Half Men the character had to be
written out of the show so they decided
to kill him off screen at the start of
season 9 if killing Charlie wasn’t
enough to rile up fans the spiteful
funeral scene definitely did the trick
Charlie Harper was the love of my life
and a wonderful wonderful man not only
is it implied that he was murdered but
everyone shows up just to heckle the
service in front of his family no less
even if Sheen and the show staff parted
on bad terms fans found this little
send-off more tasteless and immature
than funny
however Sheen got the last laugh by
reportedly enjoying the funeral scene
calling it eerie but fun number 4
Lexa’s death the hundred LexA was a
popular recurring member on the hundred
thanks to her a complex character and
budding romance with Clarke
so naturally the show decided to have
her accidentally gunned down and die in
her lover’s arms wait what
as you can imagine fans were outraged
that the show would succumb to the
barrier gaze trope an unfortunate
convention in which gay characters are
treated as expendable and often killed
off in the middle of romantic subplots
basically insinuating that lgbtq+
characters can’t have happy endings
Buffy the Vampire Slayer faced similar
flak from their fans after killing
willows girl Tara at least on the
hundred LexA and Clarke got to say
goodbye number three the Brian ratings
trap family guide in the episode life of
Brian Brian and Stewie are about to
enjoy some wholesome street hockey when
a runaway car suddenly runs Brian over
he passes away a short time afterward
and while the rest of the family moves
on Stewie and the audience are left to
mourn this unbelievable loss the episode
prompted a massive outcry from
distraught fans but fortunately Brian
returned from the dead just two episodes
later and creator Seth MacFarlane
revealed that the whole ordeal was
supposed to teach viewers a lesson about
taking our loved ones for granted I
couldn’t live without you so I came back
from the future to save your life it’s
hard to tell which was worse how they
toyed with our feelings for what was
essentially a rating stunt or that they
couldn’t commit to their little shake-up
number two the real Seymour Skinner The
Simpsons it’s hard to tell when exactly
The Simpsons started losing its touch
but a lot of signs point towards season
nines the principal and the popper
mother she’s my mother it turns out that
Principal Skinner an established
character since the very first season is
actually an imposter a former street
punk mentored by the real Seymour
Skinner when the original Skinner was
declared dead
the imposter assumed the role in his
honor until the genuine article suddenly
returns
what’s even more aggravating is that in
the end everyone ditches the real deal
and decides to forget that the whole
incident ever happened which it really
never should have now don’t come back
if you’ve made it this far without
calling it quits here are a few
dishonorable mentions that was you what
were you thinking they already knew damn
it sherry the way you keep defying me
I’m not to find you David I ain’t
protecting you David I speed for Wally’s
life and more as yours
Pam I’m right here and I’m fine well
there was so much crime Bobby it seems
so real
there was Sue Ellen and there was Mark
and and I was married number one
Carl Grimes the walking dead The Walking
Dead definitely knows how to shock
people whether with the negan
cliffhanger of season six or in this
case killing off Carl Grimes we witness
Carl slowly grow from one of the most
annoying TV kids into a hardened mature
young man but his journey was brought to
an abrupt end in season 8 when he was
bitten by a walker fans were especially
miffed that Carl’s death marked a
significant departure from the comics in
which he grows more and more into
humanity’s Savior it’s not supposed to
be like this he could have been the
future of the show but instead the
writers made him as disposable as
everyone else in the franchise do you
