(New trope, updated link)
Line 17:
* [[Being Evil Sucks]]: It can really suck to be a video game villain. Nobody appreciates the hard work you put into your villainy, you don't get any of the glory like the hero does, and in Ralph's case, he's constantly thrown off the edge of a tall building when Felix saves the day.
* [[The Cameo]]: Ralph's villain support group consists of [[Pac-Man (Video Game)|Clyde]], [[Mortal Kombat (Franchise)|Kano, Scorpion]], [[Altered Beast (Video Game)|Neff]], [[Super Mario Bros (Franchise)|Bowser]], [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Franchise)|Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik]], [[Street Fighter (Franchise)|Zangief and M. Bison]], [[Dungeons and Dragons (Tabletop Game)|a Beholder]] and a zombie from [[House of the Dead (Video Game)|House of the Dead]]. However, Zangief is not a villain in the games.
** [[Q Bert (Video Game)|Q Bert*bert]] appears in the movie, and is the one to tell Felix where Ralph went. He also appears in the Game Central Station with numerous other characters from his game.
** Also in the station is the [[Paperboy (Video Game)|Paperboy]] from...well, ''[[Shaped Like Itself|Paperboy.]]''
** And outside the game cameos, Tiny, the [[Tyrannosaurus Rex]] from ''[[Meet the Robinsons]]'', makes a background appearance in Game Central Station.
Line 31:
* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]: Ralph is barefoot.
* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: Calhoun is being voiced by Jane Lynch. 'Nuff said.
* [[The End of the World as We Know It]]: When a video game is unplugged. ''Fix-It Felix, Jr.'' is threatened with this when the game is marked as "out of order" because Ralph has gone missing. Happened to ''Q*Bert'', leaving its inhabitants homeless in Game Central Station.
* [[Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs]]: Vanelope wears a hair ribbon made of taffy and she has various types of candy stuck in her hair.
* [[Expy]]: All of the principle leads in this film are expies of video game characters in some way. Disney also got the rights to use actual videogame characters for cameos rather than just expies, a la ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]'' and ''[[Toy Story]]''. Ralph himself is basically a human [[Donkey Kong]]. The hero of the game, Felix, is an imitation of [[Super Mario Brothers|Mario.]]
