Line 16:
* Critic's Corollary: ''90% of people lack the taste necessary to distinguish between crud and non-crud.''
** Critic's Second Corollary: ''90% of people will criticize 90% of what they see regardless of their ability to distinguish crud from non-crud.''
* All The[[TV Tropes]]' Corollary: ''The difficulty of getting a group of people to agree on '''which''' 10% is '''not''' crud [[Your Mileage May Vary|exponentially approaches infinity as the size of the group increases.]]'' (Or, "Crud is in the eye of the beholder... so to speak.")
** All TheTV Tropes' Second Corollary: ''The other 90% of crud is further divided into [[Love It or Hate It|"Subjective Crud,"]] [[So Bad It's Good|"Crud You]] [[Guilty Pleasure|Like Anyway"]], and [[Epic Fail|"Total Crud."]] The exact proportions of this division have never been researched, and most likely varies by the individual for reasons mentioned above.''
** All TheTV Tropes' Laconic Corollary: ''Ninety percent of [[Laconic]] articles are crud.''
* [[The Theorem of Narrow Interests]]: ''The more constrained the thing you're looking for, the fewer good examples exist.''
** Also: ''If a video game has user-created content, a large amount of it will be based on [[Video Game Perversity Potential|male or female genitalia]] or "[[Little Big Planet|LittleBig]][[Godwin's Law|Holocaust.]]"''
