only to come right back with a dry look on her face and the subtitles "Emily: Human Woman". She giddily agrees and steps away for a split second. Deadpan Snarker: Pretty much all the time, but one standout example is when she explains hymens and Adam suggests bringing in an expert.She also hosts the "Same Time, Different Place" segments in Reanimated History, where she talks about other historical events that aren't usually talked about in history class. She takes over segments in "Adam Ruins Sex" and "Adam Ruins Malls", and she gets an entire episode to herself in "Emily Ruins Adam". Victim in "Adam Ruins Giving", "Adam Ruins Sex", "Adam Ruins Restaurants", "Adam Ruins Having a Baby", "Adam Ruins Drugs", "Adam Ruins Prisons", "Adam Ruins Malls", and "Adam Ruins Death". This Is Gonna Suck: General reaction from returning victims.Įmily AxfordBy far the most frequent of Adam's victims and probably the only one willing to call him a friend.In "Adam Ruins Sex", he claims that all it takes is having knowledge about a subject that he doesn't know for anyone else to use his abilities, other characters having adopted this ability whenever they know something he doesn't. He claims that he has "taken a vow" to only use it for edutainment purposes, implying that the power was either given or taught to him. Reality Warper: He is shown possessing amazing abilities, being able to teleport, create life, time-travel, make guests appear and a host of other powers.Insufferable Genius: While genuinely a lot nicer than most examples of this trope, Adam tends to frustrate a lot of people with his trivia, often ruining things that people love for them just to satisfy his need to teach people something.Geeky Turn-On: Likes people who also like to prove others wrong and know things he doesn't.
Even in his adulthood, he struggles to make friends because he's always ruining things.
For these reasons, Adam lacks friends in the show because people won't put up with a killjoy who spouts trivia at any prompt. Which aggravates his audience before they give him a chance to speak his mind. Fatal Flaw: Ego, when Adam feels the need to be morally outraged or provide a lecture, he shames people first before explaining his point.Character Development: He starts to learn to stop ruining once in a while.He ends up doing it without even knowing during the R&B segment, implying that this is compulsive behavior. In "Adam Ruins Housing", Adam's demonstrations have led to him being blacklisted by every renter in the city due to him continuously ruining the plumbing by flushing golf-balls.Various episodes have implied that he was like this as a child as well, with his younger sister acting more like his handler than, well, a younger sister. Ambiguous Disorder: Adam has shown to be incredibly book smart in an overarching variety of topics, but he is terrible at picking social cues, often dropping trivia and doing the "ruin" segment at incredibly bad and inappropriate times.
