Line 54:
* [[Deus Ex Nukina]]: [[Wild Mass Guessing|Possibly part of the plot or universe]] of the next album.
* [[Dies Wide Open]]: {{spoiler|Mikey}} in the music video for "The Ghost of You".
* [[Documentary Episode]]: ''Life on the Murder Scene''.
* [[Dye or Die|Dye or Be Recognized at Comic Con]]. Apparently, the blonde hair at the 2010 SDCC was Gerard's "costume" so he could buy He-Man action figures in peace.
* [[Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette]]: Gerard when he isn't busy dyeing his hair white or some ridiculous shade of pink.
** Also Frank.
Line 65:
* [[Funny Afro]]: Ray Toro, [[Fan Nickname|the Man with the Plan, the Torosaurus,]] has a positively EPIC afro. Over the years, his is the only hairstyle that has remained relatively constant, only darkening in color and deflating somewhat during [[The Black Parade]] and [[Danger Days: The True Lives of The Fabulous Killjoys|Danger Days]]. It even has a (fake) [http://raytorosfro.tumblr.com/ blog].
* [[Genki Girl]]: Gerard is a Western male example on stage.
* [[The Glasses Gotta Go]]: Once again, Mikey Way, except ''he'' decided they had to go (and got Lasik).
* [[Guyliner]]
* [[Hammerspace Hair]]: Possibly Ray's 'fro.
** [[Mean Girls|He knows everything about everyone! That's why his hair is so big, it's full of secrets.]]
* [[Hollywood Pudgy]]: Gerard is the most obvious carrier of this trope within the band. Ray and Bob may also qualify, though Bob is no longer part of the band.
** NME claims that [http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp240/BessHoudinisMCR/101110-mcr-outtakes-5.jpg Ray] is now "getting fat" and has "doughy lovehandles". In actuality, he's completely normal.
* [[Iconic Item]]: Feathered boas, striped ties, the leather jacket ([[Memetic Mutation|that'll turn your stomach]]), the bat belt buckle from ''Life on the Murder Scene''... Coffee and cigarettes might even count with this band.
** Mikey's now-departed glasses.
Line 77:
* [[Iris Out]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDWgsQhbaqU&feature=related Welcome to the Black Parade] contains a rather persistent one, which keeps on trying to end the video.
* [[Jerk Jock]]: The apparent "enemy" in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOnI5GGpXck&ob=av3n "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)"] video.
* [[Joisey]]: With the exception of Bob Bryar, everybody is from New Jersey.
* [[Jump Physics]]: A live show will make you wonder if they've harnessed some kind of ability to alter this.
* [[Large Ham]]: Gerard owns this trope and then some. If he were an actor, [[Chewing the Scenery|he'd constantly have a belly full of scenery]].
Line 99:
** Draculoids! Which are not really vampires. Just [[Mooks]] in Halloween masks. "Vampire Money" is also a...subversion? Aversion?
** It's a [[Take That]] at ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'', which is ''even better''.
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Played straight in the case of ''Three Cheers of Sweet Revenge'', where "fuck" is only heard twice in the whole album. (It still got a Parental Warning sticker.)
** Also happens in individual songs, like ''Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back'', which has one loud F-bomb in the middle.
* [[Porn Stache]]: Frank sports one sometimes. Makes him look like [[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]].
* [[Prison Rape]]: "You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us In Prison", which seems to be a subversion of [[Double Standard Rape (Male on Male)]]. The laughter at the end is the singer going insane and threatening to burn down a hotel.
* [[Real Trailer, Fake Movie]]: The basic theme of the "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZudX66IBat8 I'm Not Okay (I Promise)]" video.
Line 110:
** "Vampire Money" is gosh darn full of it. The song was written in response to the band's choice to not write a song for the ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' movies, [[David Bowie]] and Mark Bolan get a [[Title Drop|Name Drop]] and the opening is almost a perfect copy of "Ballroom Blitz" by Sweet.
* [[Slouch of Villainy]]: Averted. Gerard just has really bad posture, but he's far from villainous.
* [[So My Kids Can Watch]]: Their appearance on [[Yo Gabba Gabba!]] performing [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LAx8kNfFcc "Every Snowflake is Different"] might be this.
* [[Take That]]: As mentioned above, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3L6T0dfHa0 "Vampire Money"] is a pretty snarky one directed at ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]''.
* [[Teens Are Monsters]]: "Teenagers".
