Line 267:
* Not even dictionaries are immune! ''The American Heritage Dictionary Fourth Edition'' defines [[Anime]] as "a style of Japanese animation characterized by a bright, stylized art, futuristic settings, violence, and sex." [[Sarcasm Mode|Because every anime is]] [[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]], ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (anime)|Transformers Robots in Disguise]]'', ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'', ''and'' [[Bible Black]].
** [[All Anime Is Naughty Tentacles|At least they didn't bring up the]] [[Naughty Tentacles]]...
* Robert Newcomb's [[Chronicles of Blood and Stone|The Fifth Sorceress]], a book some say may be worse than the [[Inheritance Cycle]], has [[Wall Banger|WallBangers]] all round; but what took the cake was when the [[Designated Hero]], Tristan, was given a sword by [[The Dragon]] and told to behead his father. Tristan goes and does just that. No hesitation whatsoever. ''Then,'' only after killing his dad, does he go to attack [[The Dragon]], saying, "You made me kill my father!". [https://web.archive.org/web/20141112004626/http://eragon-sporkings.wikispaces.com/Fifth_Thirteen Kippurbird's sporking says it better.]
** The funny thing is, the book's characterizations and ideas are internally consistent. The villains weren't [[Straw Feminist]]s. The protagonist wasn't a [[Kavorka Man]], just [[Mr. Fanservice]]. The [[Humans Are White|complete lack of nonwhites]] wasn't intended as racist—after all, why should a fantasy world mimic our own in racial diversity? Then the main character's sister {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn|joined the villains]] and promptly turned into a [[Depraved Bisexual]]}}. Arrgh! And this is the first of a series, and the sequel is out now...
* ''[[Dexter]] in the Dark.'' The events of this book bring in forces that had not been hinted at before and are barely hinted at later.
