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.

Get the Subversion of Subverted Expectations mug.
A ridiculous word that has a insane meaning. There should never be expectations because nothing is or ever was expected from us in the first place.
Objectifying generation: “yo why does that girl not have a hour glass figure?!”
Girls:” Why is it a expectation to have tits and a ass but I’m made how I’m made this is bs”
Generations: “haha those jeans don’t look right ! “

Impossible or unrealistic expectations are not something anybody is going to live up to.
Some people were expecting the guy to work himself out until he physically resembled Superman in order to keep his job. They didn't want him touching drugs, since drugs were like kryptonite, they wanted him to comply with their wholesome agenda/program. They called it lighting a fire under his ass. They could not under any circumstances, let the guy do what they were paying him to do or be human instead of superhuman, they had to turn his best efforts into bullshit over doing human shit that other humans did, and not satisfying their expectations.

Their expectations were never really realistic, since the guy was always going to end up doing human shit like everybody else did.

Telling somebody who already is the way they are to be themselves, then telling them to be more, do more, is an unrealistic expectation.
Unrealistic expectations don't allow anybody to improve on their own terms, so they don't really allow somebody to improve at anything. People don't try to improve at something for or because of a program. Really, they are better off deprogramming themselves, and unplugging from the bullshit.

Expecting miracles to happen or be worked is expecting the impossible to become reality. Expecting changes to happen when someone's fingers are snapped.
The teenager committed suicide because he thought he owed somebody impossible expectations, when really he didnt need to change anything about who he was, he was only human, and not perfect. He hadn't lived long enough to realize he didn't owe anybody anything, or that one day he would know that life really was a beautiful thing, but that there would still be people in life he had to fight his entire life, and that they weren't strong enough to make life something other than beautiful, no matter how hard they tried.
