* '''Played For Drama''':

** Alice sits on a chair, thinking deeply about her day.

** Alice sits on a chair and decides the seat is too rigid for comfort. Alice chooses another chair but sinks too far into the cushion. Alice picks yet another chair that seems to be optimal. [[Third Time's the ~~Charm|Third Time's The~~ Charm]] -- until the chair collapses under her inside of 30 seconds. This leads to discussions of [[Unfortunate Implications]] where Alice feels she needs to knock off 20 pounds (when she's already a size 2), and how chairs are [[They Don't Make Them Like They Used To|shoddily manufactured nowadays]].

* '''Double Subverted''': After it gets launched, it gets subject to severe [[Trope Decay]] that undermines the specificity.

* '''Parodied''': Alice makes a humorous writeup of the "People Watch TV" 'trope' on the forum.

* '''Deconstructed''': Alice writes up a YKTTW for "People Watch TV" and leaves [[TV Tropes]] for a while. When she returns, she is shocked to discover that all of the responses to her post were flames by tropers fed up with a recent trend of [[People Sit On Chairs]]-type tropes popping up on YKTTW.

* '''Reconstructed''': Alice writes up an article for "People Watch TV," but upon realizing that it is meaningless, she puts a lot of effort into making the tone of the article match up to [[TV Tropes]]' casual, wry, snarky style, while still describing the "trope" well. The trope is indeed meaningless, but the article is so well-written and humorous that it gets launched anyways as a [[Just for Fun]] page.

* '''Zig Zagged''': Alice proposes "Taking Off Your Shoes At The Door" as a trope, and a flamewar breaks out over whether this is actually too common.

Line 72:

* '''Conversed''': "I thought the essay would be an interesting analysis of the show, but I think the author was just ignorant of the culture the author was writing in -- none of the stuff it called 'radical' actually was."

* '''Played For Laughs''': "I need to come up with an extremely important, prominent, [[Older Than Dirt]] trope that no other troper has ever realized before!" *[[Smash Cut]] to Alice writing "People Watch TV"*

* '''Played For Drama''': A legion of tropers whose [[People Sit On Chairs]]-type YKTTW posts were discarded finally stand up for themselves after all this time. They lanch a hostile overthrow of [[TV Tropes]] 'government', cutlist all the [[Tropes of Legend]], and replace them all with tropes such as "Most Birds Can Fly" and "People Pay For Things With Money".
