The Eye of Argon/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Bile Fascination - Arguably the only reason it's so well-known.
  • Fetish Retardant - With descriptions such as "[Carthena's] sagging nipples" and "the amorphos [sic], broad bleated [sic] female," Fetish Retardant abounds.
  • Marty Stu - Grignr.
  • Narm - A challenge at Sci Fi conventions is to read as far as you can in a dramatic voice without laughing. A similar challenge involves inhaling helium beforehand.
  • So Bad It's Good - Some people think its hilarious. Some... think it's just awful.
  • Squick

With a loud crack the rodents head parted from its squirming torso, sending out a sprinking shower of crimson gore, and trailing a slimy string of disjointed vertebrae, snapped trachea, esophagus, and jugular, disjointed hyoid bone, morose purpled stretched hide, and blood seared muscles.

YMMV tropes in Adam Cadre's Mystery Science Theater 3000 fan-MSTing presentation:

Mike: Wow! That was really something! Try this: "I have a dream that one day my four little children will be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
Crow - No problem. "As Grignr sleeping, morbid notions prnacing morbidly into his oval. `The reddish orb of heat beng in the crimson sky.' Stated the terrible fetid nightmar. And his ofspring of four -- or maybe forty, however it may be -- will hav the dark morbid hand of blood juridicating over all of Ecordia. `Not red! Not reddish! not crimson! Not rose red! Not blood red!' Sayeth Dsipk the judge. But by the fetid entrails will the small rodents be accontd."
