The biggest one for me is in Butterfly effect, when he goes back in time and gives himself the scars, it goes against everything we learned about time travel in that movie. If he did that he would have had the scars all along, they would not have appeared out of thin air, also the timeline would have diverged there.

In the same vein, in looper where they start crippling the past version of a person and the future one who is running away from something gets starts stumbling more and more until he can't walk, but the first few hundred meters he still made somehow.

But that is internally coherent from what I remember. I.e. time always works that way, changes in the past are propagated, and time travelers get the effects sometime after it.

Ah maybe it is. I don't remember it very well anymore. Then it wouldn't be a bad scene and more of a bad overall setup.

The scene where Al Pacino gets slapped by a big black guy wearing only a cowboy hat and a jockstrap in Cruising (1980)

This Scene from Designated Survivor. I'm still chuckling when thinking about it.

A lot of scenes are just thinly veiled commercials - why are we spending so much time looking at the front of a brand-new car the characters are getting into? It's always awkward and takes away from the scene.

The Office, Season 6, episode 20, “The Leads”. All the characters in this episode always seemed to me like they had a different personality for just this one episode. It really stands out IMO.

I was completely on Michael's side through that whole story. When Phyllis called him numb nuts, I think any other manager would have fired her ass. But they treat Michael like shit sometimes cause he's so forgiving.

Also after the Michael Scott paper company when Phyllis is crying that Michael claimed they were family but went after their customers, yeah Phillis? And what did you guys say when Michael treated you as family? You scoffed at him and brushed him off. So fuck you. Also hate how when you get a new customer you "got a new customer" but when you lose a customer it's "they STOLE the customer". There's no stealing here buddy, just a better salesperson

Chicago fire. Stella and Severide being "away" longer than expected. Out of the blue ignoring the other one. I know the actors had other work to do, but it was sloppy writing.
