Line 22:
* Referring to [[The Other Wiki]] as such.
* A YKTTW meme occurs when someone makes a blank post, after which people start complaining that we already have [[Dada Comics]], and supplying examples of the proposed trope in various media (inevitably including John Cage's ''4:33''). This is because the YKTTW for [[Dada Comics]] was actually started this way.
* Look no further than [[Wild Mass Guessing]]: [[Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory]] and [[Assassin's Creed|Altair]], [[Memetic Badass|who kills everything]]. Everyone is also a [[Doctor Who|Time Lord]] and [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Haruhi Suzumiya]], and living inside the subconscious of both [[St. Elsewhere|Tommy Westphall]] and [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Shinji Ikari]].
** Martin Van Buren [[More Information Than You Require|really was]] a Time Lord.
** [[Memetic Badass|Look. No. Further.]] [[Pirates of the Caribbean|William]] "Bootstrap Bill" Turner '''''IS A TIME LORD'''''. Who makes ''EVERYONE'' '''THEIR TARDIS on [[TV Tropes]]'''!
Line 67:
* The phrase 'loli rape bunker' has become popular after being used in a thread on the forums about a German/Swiss [[Hikikomori]] [[Otaku]] who bought a bunker to [[Porn Stash|store all his]] [[Lolicon|loli]] [[Squick|rape]] [[Doujinshi]] in, so that he could fap all the way through Armaggeddon. Disturbingly yet hilariously, many people on the forum have now changed their user location to say 'loli rape bunker' or a variation thereof.
* On the forums, sex-related derails, sometimes described as "Tropers Are Horny Bastards". Forced derails tend to take the form of references to orange juice and ''Diablo II'', following an attempt to derail the Fetishes thread.
** The phrase "TAKE THAT SHIT TO FETISHES" has become a meme itself, whenever someone thinks that a sex related derail is imminent.
* ''Every'' thread will eventually derail into discussions about sex, [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]], or [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Haruhi]]. No exceptions. One of these things is not found in a brothel...
** You forgot [[Joss Whedon]] works.
Line 103:
** It's the top-rated comment for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuTG7iasgaE this video], with (at time of writing) about 300 votes, linked from [[So Unfunny It's Funny]].
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dC0_lVaiTQ This video] is linked from [[Bound and Gagged]], and almost every comment mentions TV Tropes. It's now reached a critical mass, and newer comments express surprise that every comment really does mention TV Tropes.
* ''[[Warhammer
* I hate memes from the fora too. Fuck that guy.
* Marking that a trope is being [[Egregious|egregiously]] used within a work by adding the phrase "''And how!''" as description to an example, usually with some kind of misplaced italics. Further repetitive use of the same tropes [[Lampshade Hanging|will lead to a promotion]] to "''but of COURSE!''"
Line 140:
* [[Just a Face And A Caption|Image caption: [Character] shows us how it's done.]]
* [[The Points Mean Nothing|Bonus points]] for awarding points to your entries.
* [[media:Topic_make_me_make_this_face.png|Topic make me make this face.]] * image of [[Azumanga Daioh|Osaka]] staring blankly*
* [[TV Tropes]] is practically the poster child for this.
* In the case of ''[[FATAL]]'', any discussion about the "game"'s Chaos Magic will eventually lead to jokes about summoning "randy gay ogres".
Line 175:
* "You needed to know this." A meme from [[TV Tropes Forum|the forum's "Trash Heap" thread]].
* Full stop, full stop.
* Whenever there's a link to something scary and/or disturbing someone is likely to write: "Yeah right, as if X could be really that bad-''HOLY SHIT'' ." or anything similar.
* If a character is named Fate (e.g. in [[Lyrical Nanoha|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]), claiming that the trope [[You Can't Fight Fate]] refers to that character and listing examples (Jail Scaglietti) and exceptions to the rule (Nanoha).
* In the Fan Fic recs pages, the [[Sturgeon's Law]] phrase "The remaining ten percent is worth dying for," is replaced by something more suitable for the fandom. For example, [[Mass Effect|"I'm commander Shepard and these are my favorite Fan Fictions on the internet."]] or [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|The Remaining ten percent is worth getting]] [[Fan Nickname|tanged for.]] Or even [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|"Proof that the remaining ten percent is worth being sent to the moon for.]]
