Annoy The Audience

If you're going to do that, you might as well have two giant middle fingers on the screen and the words "FUCK YOU" flashing too.

When the audience rolls its eyes at the franchise for doing something that displeases them. One of these things, for example, can be playing an overplayed UnTrash or introducing a terrible role to the story. Because annoyance is less severe than anger, Annoying The Audience barely ever turns them angry. The creators, if they're terrible at their job, can Annoy The Audience by using a Sock Puppet Explanation to answer their questions or Killing The Expectations of the audience by delivering a disappointing event.
