Here at last is a section where you can put all those nagging questions that have Always Bugged You about various and sundry TV shows and stuff. Found a single typo in a thousand pages of perfect grammar? Got some [[Fridge Logic]] you want to [[Ass Pull|just make up]]? Dump it here!

== From actual media ==
* [http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/811075/posts 50 reasons] that ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' sucks. [[Poe's Law]] may apply.
 
== [[Just for Fun|From us tropers]] ==
Line 68:
*** Two Words: Jade. Goody.
*** She has a perfume?! Who would wear that? I mean, pork smells good and all but...
* How do ships in [[Shoot 'Em UpsUp]]s move backwards?
** To sell them. They're basically celebrity endorsements.
** They don't, they just move forward slower than the screen is scrolling.
* Why is it in cartoons whenever anyone's detesting the school lunch, NOBODY''nobody'' ever thinks to bring their own lunch?
** Easy: lunchboxes and bags could be hiding WEAPONS''weapons'', and are thus banned. ...Hey, it worked to ban backpacks at my junior high school.
*** So could your pockets. Or orifices.
*** My elementary school now confiscates box lunches that they deem unhealthy, like diet sodas... or dare I say it... Sugar Free Candy!!! I would like to point out that my elementary school admin was staffed with complete morons.
Line 96:
** Why isn't there a ''[[Nightmare Fuel]]'' section for fan art? [[Squick|Makes sense]]...
*** [[Rule 34]], dude, [[Rule 34]].
* The ''Resistance'' games for [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]]. America joins the war in Britain with not the slightest idea the Chimera exist. A few days later, Hale, the only person the Brits have seen to been resistant to the virus, is taken back by the Americans to join the Sentinels... a unit of men resistant to the Chimera. This troper is having a hard time deciding whether this will be explained more in Resistance 3, as R2 seems to hint, or is simply an [[Ass Pull]], given how different Resistance 2 was, stylistically.
** Also: the battleships, furies, and kraken. The Chimera had to tunnel under the English Channel to invade Britain. One would think they would have brought forth the battleships and sea-going critters rather than bothering with the tunnels.
** Speaking of style, why does the US have things that '''shouldn't'' be in the 50's I know it's and Alternet history but really.
Line 104:
** False advertising. They sell hope, not games.
** Because ''We Lied'' is too close to ''[[Elfen Lied]]''.
* I have this question for the respective makers of ''[[The Grudge]]'' and the new horror film ''My Bloody Valentine 3D'': Why would you cast Sarah Michelle Gellar and/or [[Jensen Ackles]] in horror films? It makes the films really hard to watch because the audiences have to tell themselves that that's not [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy Summers]] or [[Supernatural (TV series)|Dean Winchester]] fighting the monster(s). The main problem is that the shows they regularly appear in are usually better products than those films.
** This entry. Is that Welsh?
** It looks like a Newtonian mechanics problem that's been put through a blender.
Line 189:
*** More specifically, you buy two budgies from a pet shop, tie them both to a large stone, and casually drop them in a river. This is, however, considered by many experts to be taking the easy way out. A more complex method, but much more gratifying, is to hire [[Crazy Prepared|a microlight and fit it with a laser-guided stone cannon]]. Flying into a flock of starlings, wait until you have two or more birds lined up in your targeting system, one behind the other, and fire.
** Simple you had a rock to [[A Wizard Did It|a wizard and let them take care of it]].
[[Take a Third Option|Alternatively]], get a very large stone, go to [http://lahore.metblogs.com/archives/images/2007/12/trafalgar-pigeon-feeding.jpg Trafalgar Square]{{broken link}}, and drop it on a bunch of pigeons.
** Hit one bird with the stone so that it gets knocked into the other bird with lethal force.
*** '''''[[Overly Long Gag|OR]]'''''... you throw a stone, kill a bird, pick same stone up afterwards, kill a bird. ''[[Memetic Mutation|Simples!]]''
