After just returning home from the movies, you stand at the fridge deciding what to eat since the movie popcorn didn't really constitute dinner. With the fridge door open, you puzzle through the movie's plot points, and there is a disconnect in the storyline, some pivot point that says to you, "Screenwriter( or author) took me for a ride." It's when you scowl and realize you've been had. It's when a plot point is so contrived or unbelievable that it insults the reader's / viewer's intelligence. Occurs mostly frequently in movie sequels, romance novel series, and television drama series that seek to continue the money-making franchise. Related to: "jump the shark," "pin the plausibility meter," "eyeroll." Shorter versions: "fridge it," "faceplant," "as if," "bin it.'
