[[Example
Plain, simple, and brief explanation of the trope. Common features of said trope.
Line 15:
Discussion of how the trope relates to anime or manga, even if it doesn't.
[[The Oldest Ones in
Shoehorned reminder that [[Tropes Are Tools]], so no [[Justifying Edit|Justifying Edits]] or [[Square Peg, Round Trope|Square Peg Round Tropery]] please.
Line 46:
* Example. (And how!)
** [[Justifying Edit|But it actually isn't!]]
*** Utterly unironic [[Example Indentation in Trope Lists|sub-bulleted]] condemnation of [[Justifying Edit|Justifying Edits]]. [[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
** 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 62:
* 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 90:
** 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 99:
*
* [[Take That|Pot Hole'd]] [[Pothole|Take That]].
** [[All
* [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Example]] [[Overly Long Gag|festooned]] [[Overused Running Gag|with]] [[The End -
* Example, followed by several
** Lines
Line 110:
** [[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.
Line 150:
*** 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.
Line 167:
* 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 [[All
* 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 205:
** 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
* 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 254:
* Example that potholes the series name in the [[Doctor Who|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]].
Line 279:
* 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 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. [[TV Tropes
* 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 (
** 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 ''[[
** [[Big No]]!!!!!!
* Example with no explanation.
Line 307:
* 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:
* Obligatory [[Monster (
** 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 [[All
* 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 361:
* Example made by a contributor that doesn't know how to properly [[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 [[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 [[All
* Example with minor historical inaccuracies.
** A scathing explanation of why this is wrong!
Line 439:
* 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
* 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 [[
* 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.
