Line 1: {{Darth Wiki}} {{~~trope~~Just for Fun}} This is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek approach to certain tropes that will never be agreed upon by the community, either due to being absolutely universal, [[People Sit on Chairs\|pointless]], far too [[Your Mileage May Vary\|subjective]], [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Like]], or [[The Same but More]].

You click "start", and then "shut down" - you click "start" to do a lot of things. You can also use ALT+F4, the <code>shutdown</code> command, etc.</ref> ** The Commodore 64 has no Start key or button. * Two People Who Do Not Meet And Who Are Not In Love Line 100: * My Lower Body From My Waist To My Ankles In My Pants [[Monty Python\|I've got two legs from my hips to the ground...]] [[The Beatles (band)\|He got feet down below his knees..]] ** Aversions include some examples of [[Inspirationally Disadvantaged]], [[Sorry, Billy, But You Just Don't Have Legs]], and [[Bizarre Alien Locomotion]]. * Person Who Is Moderately Attractive Line 109: * The Fred [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-423 That's what you think.] Precedent: [[Jack Attack]] was ~~[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1315914034023323900&page=0~~ cut]. * Gravity ** Inverted in ''[[I Wanna Be the Guy]]''.
