Line 30:
* Why is [[Dawn of War]] called... [[Dawn of War]]? Its licensed from Warhammer ''40000'', which was a tabletop game that came after ''Warhammer''. One of Warhammer 40000's taglines are "In the grim darkness of the ''future'', there is only ''war''."
** It's named after a game mode from the Tabletop. It begins with only deploying scouts and working your way up. It starts at Dawn, and it's a War. Lazy Pun, but, hey, it works.
* Even though they weren't the original names, shouldn't Proto Man, being less advanced than ''[[Mega Man (
* Why is it that, on ''[[Doctor Who]]'', everyone acts as though the Ninth Doctor never existed? They almost never mention the regeneration or the fact that he used to have a different face (except in "The Christmas Invasion," "New Earth," and "Utopia"). It seems that the writers only want us to remember David Tennant, even though Christopher Eccleston did a [[Catch Phrase|FANTASTIC!]] job as well. Hell, the only other regeneration that the Tenth Doctor has acknowledged is the Fifth Doctor, and that's not exactly canon...
** In fairness, the classic series never used to frequently make a big deal about the previous selves either. But I can't help but get the feeling for some reason that there's a certain rift between Christopher Eccleston and the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' production team...
Line 46:
* For the last time, Xander in [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|''Once More, With Feeling,'']] "skeezy cheeses" really ''is'' a description!
* No matter how many times I watch ''[[The Dark Knight]]'', it still doesn't let me see Mark Hamill's Joker in live action, with writing for an adult audience.
** For the record, Mark Hamill's [[Batman:
* Private eyes [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle|suspect the most suspicious person]]. Romantic heroes have no idea that the [[First Girl Wins]]. Yet whenever a horror movie character shows [[Genre Blindness]], everyone groans!
** The detectives and the romantic heroes get smarter. The horror film victims don't. Except the [[Final Girl]], and it still took her seeing everyone else taken out to grow a brain.
Line 61:
** Keys are always in the refrigerator. If there are small children in the house, then both keys, socks, and anything else you lose is either in the fridge, microwave, oven, closet, sink, or any other place where it's too late.
** That's the reason I wear [[Mis Matched Socks]]...I can't even bother keeping them together. And as for keys? Last time I spent so long looking for my keys, they turned out to be on the towel rack in the bathroom, of all places.
* How the HELL did [[Heroes (TV series)|Niki's]] {{spoiler|body not get damaged in the explosion?!}}
** Better yet, why the hell is [[Ali Larter]] still on the show? If other series follow suit, we may have [[Ali Larter Job Security]] as a trope.
*** ...[[Money, Dear Boy|The money?]] Just for shiggles? Because she claims that her characters are "[[Blatant Lies|strong women]]?" There's a reason why she is one of the [[Fallen Creator (Darth Wiki)|Fallen Actresses]] (and former ''Heroes'' worker [[Jeph Loeb]] is a Fallen Creator, what do ya know?).
Line 87:
** 42.
** Why not?
** I disagree with the second poster, though; the answer is ''clearly'' [[Earthworm Jim (
* Where is the exit button frothy?
* Why not?
Line 97:
** Why isn't there a ''[[Nightmare Fuel]]'' section for fan art? [[Squick|Makes sense]]...
*** [[Rule 34]], dude, [[Rule 34]].
* The ''Resistance'' games for [[
** 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 116:
** Sex, Pregnant Woman, Babies.
** [[Calvin and Hobbes|Most people just buy the assembly kit from Sears.]]
** [[Yu-Gi-Oh!:
* Why do teenage girls love ''[[Gossip Girl]]''? High school is ''nothing'' like that, so that show should not be used as guidance.
** You just answered your own quesiton.
* Markov Jump Processes. Fuck you Mr. Markov. You and your infinitesimal generator.
* Where are the [[Troper Tales]] for [[Screw Yourself]] already? We've already got [[Troper Tales]] for everything else, even [[Brother-Sister Incest|social taboos]]. Now where's the granddaddy of social taboos already?
** [[Troper Tales/Screw Yourself|There is one,]] but if you are talking about [[A Date
* What is up with [[Everything's Better
** Blame [[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Aurora]]. I always liked the blue dress better.
** Explains, in part, why the only Princess I really like is Belle. Blue and gold-what's not to like?
* If Batman has two rules he will never break (never kill and never use a firearm), why doesn't he just cut off all of the Joker's limbs to make him harmless without breaking either rule?
Line 130:
* Since [[Firefly]] is now extremely popular, why don't FOX resurrect it? Or is there some kind of rule against that?
** Because [[Joss Whedon]] doesn't want to resurrect it.
*** Because he knows that he'll be [[Screwed
**** Because there's a difference between the internet liking something and having good enough TV ratings to justify a second season. Also, the movie tanked, hard, so maybe Extremely Popular isn't the right way to put it.
* Where is our [[Zeerust]] Home, Our [[Flying Car]], Our [[Ridiculously-Human Robots|Human-like]] [[Robot Buddy|Robot]], [[Food Pills]], and our [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]??? [[I Want My Jetpack|We Want Our]] [[Jet Pack]]!!!!
Line 142:
*** Peak Oil, shrinking arable land and dwindling water supplies.
* How the Hell is 1 + 1 = 3?
** It isn't. 1 + 1 = 10 [[Portal (
** Rounding errors- "1" consists of a possible range of values between 0.5 and 1.5 (actually, an infinitesimal above 0.5, but meh). So 1+1=1 is just as valid as 1+1=3 and 1+1=2 (the average).
*** Because Big Brother said so.
Line 148:
** You can fix that: in the part of the URL where it says DarthWiki/ThisExists, replace the slash with a dot. It works for any of the other namespaces; [[Tropers/Anonymous User|I]] only found this out by accident.
** And now it doesn't work anymore. Boo.
* ''[[
** Because [[Everything's Worse
* I found some MAJOR [[Gosh Dang It to Heck|Butt]] [[Ass Pull|Pulls]] that show up [[Reality Is Unrealistic|EVERYWHERE]]
** Bombs explode!
Line 216:
** "Troperette" would have been better. Actually, no - ''"I"'' would have been better. Why, back in troper tales, did no one ever use "I"? All the third person was just pointless and silly.
* Where RPG elements are concerned - would hot lasers hurt fire elementals?
* Why is [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
** It must be that she's 20% cooler than the other ponies.
** What's the big deal with the My Little Pony fad in general? I don't get it. It's a show meant to teach 3 to 9 year-old girls the importance of friendship, sharing, and caring, it's not something that 20 to 40 year-old men should be jacking off to.
