This trope is a fish coming onto land on a beach from a large mass of water, presumably from the ocean. This portraying evolution, or a gag based on evolution, incorrectly. Tetrapods probably came from fresh water [1] Hence why amphibians, the intermediate evolutionary step between other tetrapods and Tiktaalik, live in fresh water, for at least part of their life cycle. Of course this trope may have actually been the scientific view, but it's not anymore (if so, if someone could give a date that would be great).
