That [[Real Is Brown|dull, brown]] (''[[Reality Is Unrealistic|sometimes pretty]]''!) place you visit when you're not [[Quantum Leap|traversing time]] [[Doctor Who|and space]], [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|slaying vampires]], [[Batman|dressing like a flying mammal]] to fight [[The Joker|a clown]], [[Harry Potter (novel)|learning wizardry]], stopping [[Counter-Strike|terrorists]], [[Justice League (animation)|saving the world]] [[Destroy All Humans!|or destroying it]], [[Mass Effect|saving the galaxy]], [[M*A*S*H (television)|dissing the Korean War from the rear]], [[Mystery Science Theater 3000|riffing at awful movies]], [[Star Trek|going boldly where no one has gone before]], fighting [[The Suffering|monsters]] [[The X-Files|all over]] [[Fringe|the country]] while driving a [[Supernatural (TV series)|cool muscle car]], or participating in some other [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|horrendously addictive activity]].
 
Best known for being the sole work in a completely different medium of its own, called "Reality". Surprisingly good graphics for a legacy system. For a work that appears to have taken [[Development Hell|a damned long time]] to develop before release to the general public, it ought to be good.

Also the name of [[Real Life Comics|a webcomic]] whose actual connection to real life varies. "Varies" having the meaning here of including [[Time Travel]] and [[Humongous Mecha]].
 
Some claim it's [[Better Than It Sounds]].
 
A not-infrequent source of accounts of [[Muse Abuse]], in-universe or otherwise.
 
Holds the world record for the longest-running series of all time. It is unlikely to be cancelled anytime soon,<ref>There have been some fakeouts in [[wikipedia:Year 2000 problem|recent]] [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13134489/ns/us_news-life/ years], but we won't know if it's [[wikipedia:2012Year phenomenon2038 problem|coming soon]] until the time comes...</ref> , even though it has been critically panned and ratings continue to fall.
 
See also: [[Truth in Television]]. Do not confuse with similar [[Realism]], or [[w:Real Life (band)|the '80s new wave band Real Life]].
 
'''''Note:''' Be sure to read the [[No Real Life Examples, Please]] page to make sure the trope examples you add aren't listed there, as those tropes are devoid of Real Life examples for various different reasons. The list isn't exactly small, so there's a high chance that your future contribution is subject to a revert.''
