Revision as of 20:03, 9 April 2017

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, pointless, far too subjective, Complaining About Shows You Don't Like, or The Same but More.

Compare Lousy Alternate Titles for titles that will never happen.

Too Universal / People Sit on Chairs

Tom Siddell: It's when a character says something to another character in a story, and then later a different character says a thing that has nothing to do with that other thing.

"Alright, I see your quarter and raise you a stick of gum."
"Ooh, high roller!"


Too Obscure/Bizarre

Too Specific

Complaining About Shows You Don't Like

Too Subjective


The Same but More


X Meets Y Tropes


ABC Meets XYZ


Silly Puns, Often on Other Trope Names

Too Dangerous


Attracts Pot Holes

  • And How
  • Explanation is in my head
  • I Wish I Was Making This Up
    • I Am Totally Making This Up
  • No Explanation Needed
  • No Points For Guessing
  • Nuff Said
  • That's What Nuff Said
  • Oh, and ...
  • Quipping - Because You Fight Like a Cow really shouldn't be the trope's name.
  • So There You Go
  • That Is All
  • The - with specific instructions to link to The page every time you use The word "The" on The wiki.
  • Full Stop
  • Well Then
  • I Love You
  • This Is Awesome
  • Overstatement
  • I Know Already!
  • I Would Rather Not Discuss It
  • What a Shame
  • And That's All You Need to Know
  • The Best
  • The Worst
  • But Why?
  • Think again!
  • Brutal Subversion
  • Do I Need To Say It?


Unknowable

  • Seen It Exactly Zero Times
  • Did The Research At The Last Minute
    • Forced Someone To Do The Research For Him
  • Will Never Be Remade
  • Secretly Nonfictional
  • Index Of All Indices That Do Not Contain Themselves (think about it)
    • That's not Unknowable so much as Impossible.
      • Well, it's possible to make, just not to be complete. But how many pages on a wiki can be said to be complete?
  • Tropes That Pass In The Night
  • Tropes in Ultraviolet


Articles That Will Never Self-Demonstrate


Tropes That Will Never Be On Echo Chamber

  1. ↑ particles that is, as most other stuff is made of multiple particles.
  2. ↑ Actually, there are steps in between. You click "start", and then "shut down" - you click "start" to do a lot of things.
  3. ↑ No it doesn't.
  4. ↑ Also known as: Needs More Hate
  5. ↑ I meant History
  6. ↑ Let's assume that any article about self-demonstrating articles does self-demonstrate. Therefore Self-Demonstrating Article is a self-demonstrating article, proving the assumption true. Now, let's assume that any such article doesn't self demonstrate. Therefore Self-Demonstrating Article is not self-demonstrating, and the assumption is again true.
  7. ↑ Boxer shorts notwithstanding
