Culture Dumps

Episode 38: Jumping the Shark

17 Jul 2021

Description

The phrase “Jumping the Shark” refers to a moment in a television show, film, book, or any other form of entertainment where the established rules, characters, and plot points are tossed aside to make room for a ridiculous moment. To jump the shark is to create a culture dump. While the phrase comes from a notorious episode of “Happy Days,” there are hundreds of examples of shark jumping throughout entertainment history. Ryan is joined by Adam Papagan to discuss this phenomenon.
