Gannon Banned: Difference between revisions

The trope name comes from ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' [http://www.gannon-banned.com/ forum] that lays out ground rules about obvious false rumors (like that a [http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00022/ cover song] [[Misattributed Song|was produced by a different band than the one that actually did it]], that Link's name is Zelda, etc.) and shuns people that continue to spread them. Also, as shown by the picture above, in one version of one game, the [[Big Bad]] Ganon's name was misspelled as Gannon; so referring to him as Gannon (instead of Ganon) is also something likely to get you banned. Of course, the list does have things like "Claiming Zelda II is anything other than the best Zelda game ever" and calling [[The Legend of Zelda CDI Games]] "epic", so there's a strong hint of [[Stealth Parody]] present.

 

 

Not to be confused with [[Just for Pun|Banning Ganon]], who's a [[Complete Monster]] and clearly deserves to be [[Overly Long Gag|Ganon]] [[Sealed Evil in a Can|Canned]].

* Pronouncing the word "Eureka" as anything but ee-oou-reck-ah will cause [[Eureka Seven|certain fans]] to cringe. Even when you're talking about [[Eureka|another series entirely]].

** Interestingly, in Modern Greek "eureka" is pronounced "evrika".

* Chances are, if you mention "Robotech", you're going to have to listen to why ''Robotech'' sucks, why Harmony Gold sucks, why it ruined ''Macross'', and a number of other things, that usually don't relate to the other two series ''Robotech'' used. Even if it is a Robotech video on Youtube...

** Nearly every single Macross video has at least one Robotech basher who just randomly starts the bashing without any provocation or anyone mentioning Robotech before the basher does.

* ''[[Doctor Who]]'':

** Referring to everyone's favorite Time Lord as "[[Doctor Who]]", or his show as ''Dr. Who,'' is ''not'' going to ingratiate you with the fanbase. The origin of all the confusion, as noted on the main ''[[Doctor Who]]'' page, is that the name for the character during the show's development was originally "Dr. Who," a name that was retained in the credits and internal documentation for over 20 years, despite the fact that the character was never called that on-screen except in [[Mythology Gag|Mythology Gags]]<ref>For example, one character introduces him as "The Doctor," then the other says, "Doctor who?"</ref>. (Rather like the [[Trope Namer]], in that sense.)

** Using "Timelord" instead of "Time Lord" or any spelling other than TARDIS is a bad idea.

** It's also probably a good idea to avoid referring to the actor that played the Fifth Doctor as "Peter Davidson," unless you enjoy the thought of being lectured on how [[Peter Davison]] is an actor, while Peter Davidson is the guy who used to draw Desperate Dan in ''The Dandy''.<br /><br />[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'s Fifth Doctor announcement managed to mess this up , reading "PETER DAVIDSON '''IS''' THE DOCTOR" (they lampshaded this later when Davison got a cover for "Time Crash").
