Kardashed expectations

When the worldview of a young woman raised on all 18 TV seasons of Keeping Up With Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kris, Kylie and Kendall collides with 2020? not to mention? as if that weren't bad enough? their show gets canceled? I mean.
Growing up, she figured her days would like, be all, like, shopping, makeup, hair, like facials and stuff, and not like, unemployment? driving her mom's Kia to TJMaxx while wearing ugly-ass masks? This totally sucked and who was gonna pay for her Kardashed expectations?

Kardashed expectations

Disappointment when the real world of 2020 does not keep up with the Kardashians.
Would like, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kris, Kylie and Kendall ever, like, accept being canceled? It was rigged, fraudulent, they weren't leaving, and someone was gonna pay for her Kardashed expectations.

Impossible expectations

Expecting a team that doesn't have all their players to make the playoffs.
Nobody thought the Hornets would make the playoffs after halfway through the season, because nobody had impossible expectations (except one of their opponents, who always has great expectations of everyone about everything, because everything has to be uber competitive enough for her).

Unrealistic expectations

Expectations that shouldn't be but are.
This rock band Solence has unrealistic expectations of their audience, they are daring the audience to come and beat them up. Not only does it not make sense to dare a bunch of people you never met (that you would otherwise have no problem with) and who have never met you (and would otherwise have no problem with you) to come and beat you up. The logistics of it alone for them to locate these guys based on what time they're going to be where and trying to pinpoint them even though the audience members trying to do all this stuff have to work the next day, it's an unrealistic expectation and the band knows it when they write lyrics like that. What kind of audience member has time to go find and beat up some band member they never met?

Subversion of Subverted Expectations

A double whammy subversion of expectations, in particular in regard to film and television, where the audience is led to believe that a scene will follow through with a subversion of expectations regarding theme or humor before the opposite happens. May not always work- relies on the assumption that the audience is expecting the unexpected, but not expecting the expected.
As an example, we can take the Wheel of Fortune scene with Randy Marsh in South Park. In it, he must spell out the word which means "people who annoy me". He manages to by dumb luck fill out every single other letter in the answer leaving him with N_GGERS. The expectation by the audience is that at the last second he will answer with the word "Nagger" rather than "nigger", however at the last second the build-up to the joke concludes with a subversion of the audience's subverted expectations and the joke plays out as it would normally: with Randy answering "NIGGERS!".
We were led to believe that the punchline would be changed at the last minute, but the movie did a Subversion of Subverted Expectations by continuing the joke on as normal.
