Line 10:
* '''Parodied''':
** The immortal maintains a huge and obvious collection of artifacts that actually aren't proof of his long life.
** Julius makes a [[Visual Pun|literal exposition in a museum-like style]] with all evidence that he lived in the Ancient Rome. With texts in Latin.
* '''Deconstructed''':
* '''Reconstructed''':
* '''Zig Zagged''':
* '''Averted''':
* '''Enforced''':
* '''Lampshaded''': The immortal may say something like "What, did you think I'd keep something proving I'm a thousand years old lying around where anyone can find it?"
* '''Invoked''':
* '''Exploited''':
* '''Defied''': Julius try to avoid to be discovered as an immortal being because [[Mad Scientist|Mad Scientists]] could try to make he to get into a test subject, so he hides all evidence of his antiquity.
* '''Discussed''':
* '''Conversed''': [[Genre Savvy]] Characters talk about the trope in a [[Show Within a Show]].
* '''Played For Laughs''': Declarations of immortality are met with flat disbelief or a character who is depicted as very old, but never directly referred to as immortal, does something that suggests they are. Like claiming your place of birth is a prehistoric continent.
* '''Played For Drama''': Julius has to be very careful about who does he shares this evidence with, because some [[Mad Scientist]] could be obsessed with use him as test subject to get immortality secrets.
* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': The (normally unintentional) trope is used quite intentionally.
