Also known as "manufactured drama," forced drama is the writing technique of creating contrived circumstances and events, or unnatural character behaviors, for the purpose of easily getting emotional reactions from the audience.
It is seen as a transparent, amateurish method of getting an audience emotionally invested in a work.

: In episode 19, why didn't Bob tell Dave about that deal? He tells Dave everything and has no reason to lie. Isn't that out of character?
: Yeah, it was so the writers could force drama by dragging out Dave's misunderstanding for the next couple episodes.
: Her crush dumped her, her puppy died, then she was struck by lightning in the middle of her parents' divorce after being told she has cancer. Am I expected to fall for this forced drama and actually feel sad?

Get the forced acquaintancemug. D-forcing is the act of playing music of the dragonforce variety very loudly at passers buy whilst in a car, in order to gain their attention and also to cause surprise. The idea is to have the music set very loudly but paused, so that when a target (a person at the side of the road) is about next to the car, you can press play and "d-force" them. It is important to know that having the windows down will greatly increase impact. For added effect a shout from the people in the car can be used to gain attention just before the music is played.
