User blog comment:AustinDR/When Does Mean-Spirited Humor Fail?/@comment-26302585-20170308202831

One example of mean-spirited humor that I think fails is "Get the Message". Lori is so bitter towards Lincoln for no reason, other than the plot demands it. Him accidentally stumbling into her room is not a good reason for her to be mean to him. If Lincoln did something like break her phone, I would understand because she loves her phone, but Lincoln did nothing, I repeat, nothing to warrant Lori's rude behavior towards him. And you know what's worse, Lori gets away with being bitter towards Lincoln in the end and doesn't learn anything.
