Law of Inverse Favoritism

The Law of Inverse Favoritism refers to the tendency of fanfiction authors to make their FAVORITE characters suffer the most, either INSTEAD of the ones they hate, or ALONGSIDE the ones they hate. For example, if you were a huge Sonic fan, and Tails was your favorite character, he would tend to go through the most serious shit in any stories you wrote, maybe he'd lose one of his tails, maybe he'd die, maybe he'd lose someone who meant a lot to him (Like Sonic himself).

This law does not always apply, however, and some authors may like certain characters TOO much to make them eligible for this, as if there's a sort of uncanny valley where, right before the character means the most to you out of any, ones short of that standard suffer, but the ones shorter or ahead of the valley do not.
This seems to often be determined by how innocent or pure the character is. The moreso they are, the more likely they'll be excluded. For example, I often write Animaniacs fanfics, and Wakko never gets hurt as badly as anyone else, so he would probably be an exception for the Law of Inverse Favoritism.

Alice: You know how people who write fanfics often tend to torture their FAVORITE characters, and not the ones they HATE?

Bob: Yeah, I'm often guilty of that myself. I know how that works.

Alice: Well, you're one of my favorites to write in my stories now, so get ready for hell. That doesn't bother you at all, does it?

Bob: I t 's v e n g e a n c e f o r a l l I ' v e w r i t t e n

Alice: I also came up with a name for that. I'll call it "The Law of Inverse Favoritism".

Bob: Accurate.

Inverse Comedian

A self aware (in this case a potentially talented person in another endeavor) or very dim comedian that is such a lousy performer they elicit laughter towards them rather than the joke itself without realizing it. Rather, being laughed at instead of laughing with the audience.

Tony Stark: I'm pretty drunk wanna laugh at some 90s inverse comedians?
Captain America: Sure
Tony Stark: Pauly Shore or Rob Schneider?
Captain: I never saw Biodome, might as well get that out of the way.. but I need to go get something from my guy before we watch that one

inverse-proportion of business-minding

Refers to a "it would be humorous if it weren't serious" social truth: if someone habitually sticks his nose in where it doesn't belong, his OWN life is usually gonna be in total shambles --- in other words, he's so busy minding OTHER people's business that he doesn't have any time or energy left to mind his OWN business properly!

A good way to determine if a self-proclaimed "vigilante of morality/diligence" is truly “caring ‘n’ helpful” is to view da overall status of da loudmouth's OWN life --- if he’s merely a grumpy loner whom da locals mostly avoid, then he's probably just a classic example of da inverse-proportion of business-minding; he merely wants to "feel important for five minutes". Reminds me of dat arrogantly-righteous and absurdly-overzealous young lawyer I once saw on TV, and who was actually bringing criminal charges against teenagers who were merely having intimate relationships. Many of da teens --- and even some of da parents, much as they themselves disapproved of pre-marital sex --- felt dat da sniffy-Puritan attorney was grossly overstepping his bounds. Yet when da interviewer asked him da most obvious question imaginable --- whether HE HIMSELF had ever sought sex from a girl during his OWN teenage years --- he suddenly got snootily offensive, and huffily monotoned back with, "Sir --- I will be compelled to terminate da interview if this line of questioning is pursued." HA --- looks like da only real reason for his being such a litigious a**h**e was dat either HE HIMSELF was privately embroiled in some paternity suit and/or sexual-misconduct allegations and so he wished to appear fiercely-moralistic to seem innocent of any wrongdoing, or else he was merely JEALOUS of da hot young studs in da neighborhood who were "getting lucky" with all of those "cute 'n' juicies" sweet-sixteens!
