It's clearly down to the increase in visible moustache-twirling villains in the news, saying stuff like "and I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids."

Or something.

Personally, I'm also annoyed at the increased use of "needs done", which feels like it's missing half a sentence. But hey, languages are big - and can fit a lot of different usage.

needs done

Could you use it in a sentence, or is that literally the sentence?

“Can you clean the toilet? It needs done.” - like this, or?

Yes like that the carpet needs vacuumed. I hate it. They remove the Hamlet from the situation there is no " to be"

They drop "to be" for infinitive verbs. The clothes need washed. That bully needs beat up. Etc.

My brother-in-law says the dishes "need washed" and I can't tell you how badly that grates on me.
