Drowning in melodrama

melodramatic

The state of being exaggeratedly (theatrically) dramatic.

'Melodramatic' is derived from melodrama, which is in turn derived from the Greek word 'melos' (music) and the word 'drama'.
Random student: *watching commercial in class about poor children in Africa*: Oh, those poor kids! I just want to hug them and kiss them and tell them *sniff* they're going to be okay! Oh, I'm sorry *sniff*... can I get some water?

Me to another classmate: ''Ugh, just another display of attention-seeking from Ms Melodramatic. I swear, she's constantly trying to make herself look more thoughtful or 'nice' than she really is. Either that, or she's just overreacting.''

Melobromatic 

A show or movie so full of bro-lingo, bro-filled plot devices, and bro-based scenarios that it reaches a point where no un-bro could possibly relate to the broishness going down on screen.

The viewer can be lost in minutes based on the amount of melobroma on display. A viewers tolerance to melobromatic entertainment is based on the actual content of bro they exude in real life.

Disagreements over the amount of melobroma on display usually end when one party is called a 'Fag'
I used to like Entourage, but it's gotten way too melobromatic for my tastes

Franklin and Bash may be the most melobromatic thing I've ever seen in my life. I think if I watched 5 more minutes, I was going to experience a superbrova
