Line 73:
** 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:
*** 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 146:
* 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:
* 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, TV 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 201:
** 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.
Line 213:
* 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:
* 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:
* 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:
** 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 284:
*** 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 Emake]] 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. [[
* 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 346:
* 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 381:
* Obligatory reference that [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life]].
* Trope Name is a Time Lord, and TV 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 hottip</ref>.
* An example With random Capital letterS.
