* Example at the top by a new troper who doesn't know to always put new examples at the bottom.
Line 46 ⟶ 48:
* Example. (And how!)
** [[Justifying Edit|But it actually isn't!]]
*** Utterly unironic [[All The Tropes:Example Indentation in Trope Lists|sub-bulleted]] condemnation of [[Justifying Edit|Justifying Edits]]s. [[Hypocritical Humor|Hypocritical]] reminder to [[Repair, Don't Respond]].
* Example from an obscure work at or near the top only because it was [[Entry Pimp|a favorite]] of the Trope Launcher.
* Equally obscure example at or near the top because the three-hundredth edit was made by someone who either [[Parabombing|doesn't know the rules]] or feels that this example is way better than the ones below.
* Chronologically-confusing entry that refers to entries further down the page but got moved to the top thanks to someone alphabetizing all the entries but not re-writing them to fit.
* Example from a classic which allows an editor to declare it one of [[The Oldest Ones in Thethe Book]].
** Surprise trope example from mythology, indicating that this trope is [[Older Than Dirt]].
* Example declared to be the [[Ur Example]], even though likely not one.
Line 59 ⟶ 61:
* Example that has nothing to do with the trope, but is related to the title of the trope; which the original Troper chose to be clever.
* [[Zero Context Example|Example]].
* Example that was closer to the top due to an overeager [[Entry Pimp|Entry Pimper]]er, but was pushed downward by more of the same.
* Example after example about ''Obscure Anime [[No Export for You|That Was Never Released Outside Japan]]''.
* Example that will be repeated further down the page by an overeager fan of the series.
* [[Two Words: Obvious Trope|Two words: Incomprehensible example]].
* Three and a half pages of [[Anime]] examples that you just scroll right on by because you've never heard of any of them.
* Example. [[Zero Context Example|Just...Example]].
Line 73 ⟶ 75:
** Example from yet another Discworld book that has more to do with one of the previous Discworld examples than it actually does this trope.
* Example of [[Lampshade Hanging]], [[Subverted Trope|subversion]], and/or [[Deconstruction]] from ''[[Order of the Stick]]''.
* A lone [[Real Life]] example erroneously declared as [[Truth in Television]] which we are not making up.
* Example that this editor is shocked, surprised, or astounded hasn't been mentioned yet. You've probably never heard of it.
* Example from a recent arc of a webcomic that's been around for 8 years doing five updates a week, so the archive is huge, and since the example is so far up the page it's long ago fallen off the edit page, so there's no way to tell when "recent" was.
Line 82 ⟶ 84:
* Example from ''[[Trope Overdosed]]: The Series''.
** Comment that the series in question [[Fanon Discontinuity|does not exist]], despite the fact that no one cares what the writer thinks.
* Example from ''<nowiki>~[[Avatar: The Last Airbender~</nowiki>]]'', with mention of how it happened in a manner that was awesome.
** Another example from ''[[Trope Overdosed]]: The Series'', indented, and perhaps directly addressing the last one, but separated from it because some other Troper added an example in between for whatever reason.
** Example from ''<nowiki>~[[Avatar: The Last Airbender~</nowiki>]]'', with mention of how the ending was an [[Ass Pull]].
* Example that dates back before what was originally thought to be the [[Ur Example]], making this trope [[Older Than They Think]].
* Example from a Sci-Fi series/film {{spoiler|in which the trope is part of an especially creepy case of [[Human Resources]]}}.
Line 90 ⟶ 92:
** Angry addition pointing out that it was either [[Justified Trope|Justified]] or [[Deconstruction|Deconstructed]] in this instance, added by an angry [[Fan Boy]] who does not realize that [[Tropes Are Not Bad]].
** {{spoiler|1=Poorly marked spoiler, which you will assume is for MGS2's ending, but in fact spoils MGS4.}}
** Unmarked spoiler for ''End Of Evangelion'' or ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]''.
** Example from an ''Evangelion / Metal Gear Solid'' [[Crossover]] [[Slash Fic]] [[Too Much Information|that you would much rather have not known about]].
* Example involving {{spoiler|character you would never suspect}}, the [[Big Bad]] in a particular [[Story Arc]] of a very popular show.
Line 97 ⟶ 99:
*** Actually is an example of the first line because an above line remembered or interpreted something wrong (maybe even this line).
* Obscure example from an editor with a photographic memory.
*
* [[Take That|Pot Hole'd]] [[Pothole|Take That]].
** [[TVAll the Tropes Wiki Drinking Game|Three sips!]] Pot Hole'd Take That optional.
* [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Example]] [[Overly Long Gag|festooned]] [[Overused Running Gag|with]] [[The End - or Is It?|seemingly]] [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|random]] [[Death Byby Newbery Medal|and]] [[The Inheritance Trilogy|unnecessary]] [[Pothole|pot holes,]] [[Xanatos Gambit|just]] [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: theThe Abridged Series|because]] [[They Might Be Giants|the]] [[Nerd|troper]] [[Xanatos Roulette|is]] [[Smug Snake|trying]] to be [[Kawaiiko|cute.]]
* Example, followed by several
** Lines
Line 110 ⟶ 112:
** [[Trope Name Injokes Discussion|On the discussion page.]]
** Reminder to move [[Natter]] to the [[Trope Name Injokes Discussion|Discussion Page]] that doesn't actually remove the natter.
* Example that once contained natter and [[Justifying Edit|gratuitous justification]], but which a troper has [[Repair, Don't Respond|refactored]] to flow more smoothly.
** A single remaining bullet of natter that ends up having been condensed from three or more bullets.
* [[Fetish Fuel|This]] trope is somebody's sexual fetish. The troper cataloging this fact will probably reveal more about themself than you needed to know.
** Reminder that not everyone [[Nightmare Fuel|agrees]] with the [[Nightmare Fuel StationattendantStation Attendant|previous troper]]. [[Squick]].
* Four more examples from a single [[Trope Overdosed]] series.
** Four more examples from a single [[Trope Overdosed]] series.
Line 140 ⟶ 142:
** Attempt to delete/rectify above, which [[Fox News Liberal|gets restored multiple times]] as ideological bias matches community preferences.
*** Above example deleted.
* example that has no capitalization or punctuation because the person who wrote it didnt realize that tvall the tropes isnt a chatroom
* Example that steps on a fanboys' toes.
** [[Justifying Edit|Justified]] because.
Line 146 ⟶ 148:
* Example from earlier on the page that I'm repeating because I'm an overeager fan.
* Repeated example from earlier on the list.
* Example from some redlinked anime called [[Donotuse|Nipponisu no Serizu Neemu Disupeto Puresenssu wa Taituru no Ingurisu]], the title of which you can't make heads or tails of because you don't know Japanese, peppered with mentions of seemingly every single [[Anime Fan Speak]] trope for added confusion.
** Complaint that you can't make head or tails of the above because you don't know Japanese.
*** Natter about how it's Romaji, not actual Japanese.
* An example from a series with an [[Entry Pimp]], allowing you to know who added it without even looking at the history.
* Perfectly normal example with a random word potholed [[Yes! Pretty Cure 5|for]] some reason.
* Example that leaves out article but has otherwise perfect grammar.
* An example that is already on the page but uses somewhat different writing.
* {{spoiler|Spoiler covered}} example from a series you've been following {{spoiler|that lacks the volume or episode it appears in}}, leading you to believe {{spoiler|that you've passed this spoiler and that [[Late Arrival Spoiler|you should know this already]]}}. You haven't, and so you've been {{spoiler|spoiled! [[TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|Curse you, TVAll The Tropes!]]}}
* 陰茎の例日本語。(see [[The First Law of Trope Examples]]).
** Translation of the above from a bilingual troper who thinks too highly of himself.
Line 164 ⟶ 166:
*** "Example written in Japanese"
* Example from [[Paul Robinson]] claiming that the trope is represented in his non-existent novel ''[[Instrument of God]]''.
{{quote| Two-kilobyte block of text alleged to be a quote from ''[[Instrument of God]]'' which doesn't really seem to have any particular relevance to the trope, or, really, anything else for that matter.}}
* Far-reaching example from [[This Troper]]'s favorite [[Trope Overdosed]] series. It's not really relevant but you'll leave it because someone else will just add it again.
* A particularly [[Egregious]] [[Author Vocabulary Calendar|example]].
** Redirect to [[TVAll the Tropes Wiki Drinking Game]].
* Rare example from a particular medium, not to be confused with the dozen other examples from that medium.
* An example which bugs you because you wanted to be the one to add it.
Line 190 ⟶ 192:
* Completely mundane example, but the person who added it insists that he isn't making it up.
* Example that was sorted into the wrong medium.
* Example from ''Warhammer40000[[Warhammer 40,000]]'', with shoehorned reminder of that game's [[Black and Grey Morality]] and/or [[World Half Empty]], probably describing the Imperium at length, and ending with "And they're the ''good'' guys."
* Example, combining this with Rape The Dog, [[Nightmare Fuel]], or some other trope whose name we had to change.
make matters worse, a third editor went on to delete the first half, leaving you with no clue what it's about unless by some chance it happens to look familiar to you.
Line 201 ⟶ 203:
** Example of an inversion that's actually a double subversion.
*** Argument pointing out that previous example is a double subversion and not an inversion.
*** Statement expounding on the notion that inversions are a type of subversion.
** Example of a double subversion that doesn't even belong on this page.
** Example of an aversion that's actually a totally straight example of the trope.
** Example of a subversion that actually is a subversion. Probably the first you've seen all day.
* Not exactly an example of [[Trope Name Injokes]], but it's so funny I have to tell you all about the time in [[Trope Overdosed]] where (insert description of either A} the trope being played perfectly straight or B} something completely unrelated) and it was so funny that I forgot we had [[Examples Searching for Aa Trope]] where these things really ought to go.
* Repeated example from earlier on the list.
* Example from a show you don't watch and may have never heard of, written [[Gushing About Shows You Like|so worshipfully]] that you get [[Hype Aversion]] from a single sentence fragment.
Line 213 ⟶ 215:
* Example that this editor is shocked, surprised, or astounded hasn't been mentioned yet, even though it has.
* Example added by a [completely clueless dork|new contributor] who doesn't understand that PMWiki doesn't use <nowiki>[ThatOtherWiki|MediaWiki]</nowiki> markup coding, thinks double curly brackets or asterisks code for italics, and doesn't bother to look at any adjacent examples to see how ''they're'' coded.
* Example which, by some fluke of nature, and bizarre linguistic ability/inability by [[That Troper]] which leads to an example which goes into unnecessary and intricate details as to just how the example is indeed example, and details everything in such great volume that they might just as well quoted the actual trope example from the series in question leading to entire lengths of the page taken up with just one very long example, an example that usually so long because it's only vaguely related to the trope that it's reputedly about, and the length of the example is a roundabout way of justifying it as an example.
** [[Flat What|What?]]
* [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Like|Snarky]] example from ''[[Snark Bait]]: The Series'' that would be heavily edited if it weren't for the fact that most tropers agree.
* [[Completely Missing the Point|Finally, example which does not fit in at all!]]
** Unnecessary explanation explaining why.
Line 236 ⟶ 238:
* Example covered in spoiler tags from a series that you're not up to date yet, {{spoiler|yet you read the spoilers anyway because you just...can't...help yourself}}...dangit!
** If Example is Anime, Manga, or other non-English media, {{spoiler|you read even more spoilers because you are up to date... on the English releases. The next spoilers are from not-yet-officially-translated-but-available-online-anyways sections of the series. You kick yourself for forgetting those and rant to yourself about people breaking the law and ruining the surprise as a result even though you probably did that at one point yourself.}} ...dangit more!!
*** If Example is Anime, Manga, or other non-English media, {{spoiler|you read even more spoilers because you are up to date... on the Fan Subbed Anime. The next spoilers are from Manga Fan Translations. You kick yourself for forgetting those and rant to yourself about people breaking the law and ruining the surprise as a result even though you probably did that at one point yourself.}} ...[[Rule of Three|dangit yet again!!!]]
* {{spoiler|An entry that is entirely spoiler tagged, presumably because even knowing the series is an example of this trope is a spoiler, but making it so that anybody has to highlight it just to see what series they're talking about, ruining any use of the spoiler tag in the first place.}}
* Perfectly sensible example that helps the reader understand the trope better and is enlightened for it.
* '''[[Hot -Blooded|OVERLY HYPED BOLDED, BLUE TEXT EXAMPLE, NEVER WITH ANY EXPLANATION, AND ALWAYS WITH GRATUITOUS EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]]'''
** And usually much less verbose than that.
* [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Meta |Meta-example]] that needs a Wikipedia-URL to explain in full.
** [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Meta |Example]] that doesn't need one, but gets one anyway.
* Example that contains the words "also" or "similar to the above/below" despite the referred-to examples being deleted or moved, making it look very weird.
* Example that looks weird because someone with a vendetta against removed the [[Pothole]] or [[Wiki Word]] without bothering to fix the rest of the sentence.
Line 252 ⟶ 254:
** A paragraph that starts with "YMMV".
* Example that gets no particularly strong emotional reaction from you, the reader, but is nonetheless [[Pothole|Pot Holed]] to [[Nightmare Fuel|one]] [[Crowning Moment of Funny|of]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|the]] [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|various]] [[Subjective Tropes]]. Maybe you had to be there.
* Example that potholes the series name in the [[Doctor Who (TV)|character]] [[Firefly|name]] so it can't be searched for on the page and will be repeated further down at some point.
* Example that is [[Too Dumb to Live|already somewhere on this page,]] [[What an Idiot!|but put here anyway.]]
* [[Two Words: Obvious Trope|Two Words]]: [[Next Trope]]
** Natter about how this trope needs to be explained.
* Example [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch]].
** [[Justifying Edit]]
Line 261 ⟶ 263:
* [[Suzumiya Haruhi]] example.
** Not to mention another example in that series.
* Example involving a ''~[[Monty Python's Flying Circus~]]'' sketch.
** Natter referential joke!
*** Obscure joke reference!
** More joke references.
* Example saying Character Name embodies this trope, without any mention of what work provides us with Character Name. Not even a pot hole.
* Obligatory ''[[Firefly]]'' reference.
* Obligatory example from a ''[[Star Trek]]'' series/movie/book/videogame.
** Ten
Line 276 ⟶ 278:
** ''[[Star Trek]]''
** series/movies/books/videogames
* Obligatory ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' example.
* Example that is [[Pothole|pot holed]] right back the [[Trope Name Injokes|this page]].
* [[Trope Name Injokes]] is a pretty good description of the plot to ''Series''.
* [[Two Words: Obvious Trope|One word]]: Example. Many, many more words. In fact, an entire paragraph of words describing that example, but still incomprehensible unless you're familiar with the source, probably describing how cool [[This Troper]] thinks the source is and how great an example it allegedly is.
* Example from [[Indiana Jones|something]] with a [[Broken Base]], written in a highly diplomatic and value-neutral way, using phrases like "this upset some of the fans". This example probably replaced several paragraphs worth of argument from opposite sides of the schism, possibly [[Thread Mode|between the same two people]].
** Follow up post by someone who didn't get the memo, continuing the argument by saying how much that usage of the trope sucked.
*** Rebuttal from someone else who didn't get the memo, responding to the above, which eventually gets the page locked.
* Example from the original version of a classic horror film, written in such a way as to instantly differentiate itself from the poorly-received [[R EmakeRemake]] or myriad [[Sequelitis|disappointing sequels]].
* Example from a series you don't watch and has never particularly interested you, but - from this example, at least - actually sounds kind of clever. [[TVAll The Tropes Asas a Gateway Drug|Perhaps the series is worth checking out?]]
* In ''Series'', {{spoiler|this trope is used in such a spoileriffic fashion that only the show name has escaped spoiler tags. Despite this caution, the show's mere presence on this page is enough to clue people in.}}
** {{spoiler|An example which goes on for ten lines of text completely hidden, including the title, just talking about how much ''Series'' is an example, exactly what happened, with ALSO randomly popping up in all caps, [[No Periods, Period|no periods]] (linked to the wrong page) [[Tons Of Red Text]] and links that, when you highlight the "example," you accidentally get sent to some random page. At the very end, there are only two words to clue you in on how an entire paragraph could somehow be an extremely long winded example.}}
* ''ExamplesWithoutSpaces'' because someone tried to link them using both the brackets and a [[Wiki Word]].
* Obligatory ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'' example, noting how it was either 'done badly', or 'particularly glaring'.
** Remark that it becomes even worse if you consider the [[Unfortunate Implications]] this carries.
* {{<nowiki>[[</nowiki> Bizarre and inexplicable case of empty double brackets}} ]], caused by the deletion of the article [[I Am Not Making This Up]] which led to the phrase just outright being deleted in every instance that it appeared in the wiki, {{ [[leading to a lot of broken}}]] [[Pothole|pot holes]]. {{ [[Seriously.}}]]
* Example that causes you to lose The Game.
** Indignant denial citing ''[[Xkcd (Webcomic)|Xkcd]]''.
** [[Big No]]!!!!!!
* Example with no explanation.
Line 307 ⟶ 309:
* Example with an explanation that contradicts the explanation on the page for the work.
* and you cantf ogret the axmaples that seekm tp have been typed wotja bliandfold on> <ref>And you can't forget the examples that seem to have been typed with a blindfold on.</ref>
* Very long example that goes on for a long, long, long time, with only two sentence breaks, setting up essentially the entire plot of a long-running series, for no apparent reason, becoming redundant at some point, but also just rambling on and on. It gives you the impression that somebody is just [[Shout -Out|talking and talking]] [[Star Trek: theThe Next Generation|in one long, incredibly unbroken sentence]], moving from topic to topic, so that nobody has a chance to interrupt, working in at least one (overused and not all that funny) [[Memetic Mutation|meme]] along the way which you wish the writer would of left out, drawing gradually closer to having something resembling a point, {{spoiler|perhaps with something in spoiler tags, perhaps not}}, becoming redundant at some point, but also just rambling on and on, and ''finally'' actually describing how this is an example, which is kind of a letdown. Then there's a followup about [[This Troper]]'s very strong feelings on the matter which you don't really care about, and something about [[Ho Yay]] or [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], and because this ridiculous example is so long, everyone just kind of skims it and never notices the grammatical error in the middle.
* Obligatory [[Monster (Animemanga)|Johan]] reference.
** Firm assertion that '''Johan is this trope'''.
* Example that [[Candle Jack]] kidna
** An argument about the propriety of using a meme on a trope page.
* Light-hearted self-deprecating [[TVAll the Tropes Wiki Drinking Game|meta]] example.
* Reference to a show (i.e. [[Firefly]]) entered at the bottom because the editor has only read the page description, and not bothered to look to see if an entry of that show is already there. [[Ass Pull|87% chance]] of being the exact same example just worded differently.
 
Line 329 ⟶ 331:
** Response that points out that the above example is not an example.
*** Further response that suggests it may be an example of [[Next Trope]].
* Example that, for some reason, [[Trope Name Injokes|potholes back to this same page]].
* Example that, for some reason, italicizes a ''[[Wiki Word]]'' that isn't a title.
* Example that, [[Rule of Three|for some reason]], put a [[Wiki Word]] in brackets, resulting in a bracketed number instead of the simple link the editor intended.
* Particularly well-written and informative example that will never be read because it's too far down on the page.
* Example that's irrelevant, yet witty.
{{quote| '''Random Character''': Witty remark.}}
* Example from a show with a relevant quote:
{{quote| '''Character''': Quote which makes total sense.<br />
** Second example from same show that's in small type because of erroneous formatting. }}
* Example that's so bland it hardly needs supporting explanation.
Line 346 ⟶ 348:
* Example from a [[Web Comic]] so obscure that you get the feeling that it was added by the [[Troper Works|comic's author]].
* (Example put in parentheses for no real reason other than that's just how the particular troper makes all of their entries, even if no one else on the page is doing it.)
** Reproach by a troper who would rather argue than fix the formatting of said example.
* Example, natch.
* Example: duh
Line 359 ⟶ 361:
* I'm not sure if this really counts, but something that may or may not be an example of the trope.
* An example of a rare, unusual variation of this trope that fits.
* Example made by a contributor that doesn't know how to properly [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/[Pothole |pothole single-word articles]] and uses the external link markup instead.
* Example made by a contributor [[Expy|similar to the above]] that also doesn't understand single-word links and threw in a random capital letter instead.
* Example made by a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhatAnIdiot[What an Idiot!|completely clueless contributor]] that uses the external link markup for a simple pothole despite proper examples of said formatting being all over the source code, easily visible to any editor.
* WHAT? How the heck did we get this far without citing example?! Example practically IS this trope.
* Example that is repeating a previous example, but deleted the first one.
* Arguably, an [[Examples Are Not Arguable|arguable example]].
* [[My Favorite Show]] is the undisputed king of having this trope in spades, 'nuff said, full stop.
* Example that [[TVAll the Tropes Wiki Drinking Game|deliberately does things that make you drink]] and ends with "Now drink up!".
* Example with minor historical inaccuracies.
** A scathing explanation of why this is wrong!
Line 374 ⟶ 376:
*** [[Completely Missing the Point|Sarcastic reply that is potholed to Completely Missing the Point]].
* Non-example added by someone who clearly didn't read the trope description and is just guessing based on the name.
* Example from [[The Simpsons]] pointing out that they [[The Simpsons Did It|did it]], unaware of the actual purpose of [[ItsIt's Been Done|that trope]].
* Example awkwardly referencing a [[Renamed Tropes]] because someone was too lazy to reword it.
* [[Too Dumb to Live|I can't believe nobody's mentioned]] [[Overly Long Gag|the example from earlier on the page!]]
* [[Long Runner]], referenced by name only with absolutely no context.
* Example from a webcomic that was updated earlier today or an episode that just aired which you wanted to add as well. Making you wonder [[TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|what other people do with their lives]].
* Obligatory reference that [[TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life]].
* Trope Name is a Time Lord, and TVAll The Tropes is its TARDIS.
* An example where the editor, instead of using a [[Wiki Word]], just put the words in curly brackets for some reason.
** An example where a [[Wiki Word]] is potholed to ''itself''.
* An otherwise-unnoteworthy example .<ref>that some bastard decided to add a snark to inside a hottipfootnote</ref>.
* An example With random Capital letterS.
* An example that is more [[Wild Mass Guessing]] than anything else.
Line 408 ⟶ 410:
* Example with <s> Alicia</s> ''Alice'' and Bob, from Television Show, which was <s> canceled</s> un-canceled after this example was written, but this is the next editor's favorite show, so everything must be crossed out instead of just corrected. This of course looks incredibly silly since strikethrough doesn't even exist anymore.
'''Alice''': Quote that is formatted
{{quote| wrong}}
* Example with an extra blank line after it.
 
* Example with a quote, followed by some more elaboration.
{{quote| '''Alice''': The quote.<br />
'''Bob''': Yes, this is the quote.<br />
The elaboration, which is still in quote-format because of bad formatting. }}
* Example that mentions the "[[Blatant Lies|current]]" page picture or quote, which is completely different from both the actual current picture or quote and several other examples that also mention outdated pictures or quotes.
Line 434 ⟶ 436:
* {{supersecretspoiler| Example using deprecated mark-up}} <s>in a lame attempt at sarcasm</s>.
* An example from ''[[Mass Effect]]''.
** An example of how it was subverted in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' that really should be a different trope altogether, with bad [[All The Tropes:Example Indentation in Trope Lists|Example Indentation]] on top.
* Example from ''[[Paranoia]]'', described in a perfectly normal manner from the perspective of the real world.
** In-character complaint about security levels, happiness, and treason. Request that the above person report to an execution chamber.
* Example that was originally typed with no space after the bullet, but was automatically rectified by the wiki.
* exmplew ith Relly bad spelleng or Lost of tyops sgiend egogy.
* Obligatory example with [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]].
* An example without the name of the work because this troper forgot.
* Example discussing how Show/Person X with a large [[Periphery Hatedom]] does this trope badly. Probably already on the page, but the troper that puts it really hates this thing.
* Example that never actually happened, possibly due to the troper confusing [[Word of Dante]] with [[Word of God]].
** Actually that didn't happen, because long-winded explanation of what actually happened (which is pointless because someone will just delete the example, because of the explanation).
* Example from [[Super Mario 64 (Video Game)|Super Mario 64]] using a quote specific to the DS remake with a link to [[Updated Rerelease]] or [[Super Title 64 Advance]].
* Link to a [[Homestar Runner|sbemail]] which makes fun of this trope.
* Example from an obscure fetish-based independent work with a link to said work's trope page, not pointing out that said work is fetish-based.
* Example described as "an interesting use of this trope" or "an odd example" despite being unremarkable.
* An example from a work.<br /><br />There was a need for paragraphs.
 
There was a need for paragraphs.
* Example that's played straight and subverted, somehow.
* Vague non-example pointing out this trope ''always'' occurs in this medium.
Line 458 ⟶ 462:
* An example that references "a [[Examples Are Not Recent|recent]] episode of [[My Favorite Show]]" without any further elaboration to help identify the episode months or years down the road.
* An example that blatantly insults a particular [[Guilty Pleasure]] series that is not deleted because a lot of tropers agree with it.
* An example that's already been brought up twice, potholed to [[How Did We Miss This One?]].
* Example containing [[Pothole|a pothole broken into]] ''[[Pothole|multiple]]'' [[Pothole|links to the]] ''[[PotholesPothole|same article]]'' [[Pothole|by]] ''[[Pothole|italicized words]]''. Alternatively, example containing 'improper formatting of italics''.
* Example that is duplicated on Another Related Trope Page. It really fits on that page better, but it hasn't been removed because that page is newer, and no one made the connection between the two tropes until after the newer one was launched.
* Example of an inversion that technically doesn't belong here, since the inverted trope has its own page.
Line 466 ⟶ 470:
* Valid example that happens to get all the context wrong, from the name of the main character to where he was when it happened.
** Correction by fan of above series, who didn't change the actual entry because then other tropers wouldn't see how wrong it is.
* Example which spoiler-tags {{spoiler|the fact the trope happens}}.
* Example in which the contributercontributor pluralised a [[Wiki Word]] when the actual link is singular, thereby creating a redlink.
* Example in which the contributercontributor wrote "TitleOfBookTitle Of Book" rather than "Title Of Book (Literature/TitleOfBook)", thereby either creating a redlink or a link to a similarly titled work in a different medium.
* Example that assures us is a positive example of a negative trope, so we can be reminded [[Tropes Are Not Bad]].
** As well as [[Wild Mass Guessing|a theory of that troper on why that makes sense]], with the unavoidable [[Pothole]] to [[Fridge Brilliance]].
* Obligatory example about how evil Disney/[insert corporation here] is.
* Example that uses spoilers to hide {{spoiler|a real-life, well-known death.}}
* Don't forget this poorly formatted example! This Troper can't believe nobody mentioned this one before.
* Example that attempts to justify [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Like]] by quoting a snarky internet critic.
Line 486 ⟶ 490:
* Troper Tales
** Snide [[Natter]] pointing out the removal of Troper Tales.
* Example involving [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]], thus invoking [[GodwinsGodwin's Law]].
** Example involving Stalin, thus invoking [[GodwinsGodwin's Law]] Response.
* Controversial example that is bound to be deleted at some point for fear that it might result in [[Internet Backdraft]].
** Counterpoint to controversial example, which might even get the entire [[Real Life]] section taken off the page, despite the fact that the rest of the [[Real Life]] examples were perfectly uncontroversial, albeit better placed in [[Troper Tales]].
*** Blatant, badly spelled [[Flame Bait]] to above, asserting that all who stand on one particular side of the discussion are [[Eats Babies|baby munching]] [[GodwinsGodwin's Law|Nazis]].
* Historical example that is now found not to be true.
* Example that doesn't quite fit the trope.
Line 498 ⟶ 502:
* Non-example stating that [[Captain Obvious|this sometimes occurs in real life]].
* Example from earlier on the page! Again!
* Urban Legend that totally happened to this troper's sister's ex-boyfriend's 2nd cousin's niece's math teacher's internet chat friend.
