* 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
* 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.
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
* 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.
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 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]].
** [[All the Tropes Wiki Drinking Game|Three sips!]] Pot Hole'd Take That optional.
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
* 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.
Line 153 ⟶ 155:
* 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! [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|Curse you,
* 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 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 ''[[Warhammer
* 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
* 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.
Line 255 ⟶ 257:
* 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 266 ⟶ 268:
** 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 277 ⟶ 279:
** series/movies/books/videogames
* Obligatory ''[[Doctor Who]]'' example.
* Example that is [[Pothole|pot holed]] right back the
*
* [[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 [[
* 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. [[
* 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 (novel)|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.
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,
* 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.
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 380 ⟶ 382:
* 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 [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|what other people do with their lives]].
* Obligatory reference that [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life]].
* Trope Name is a Time Lord, and
* 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
* An example With random Capital letterS.
* An example that is more [[Wild Mass Guessing]] than anything else.
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:
* 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.
Line 448 ⟶ 450:
* 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
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 459 ⟶ 463:
* 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]] ''[[
* 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 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.
