{{quote|[[TV Tropes]] is a veritable black hole of hyperlinks, each leading further into the center of oblivion. The entire site is made up of a community that spends its life collecting patterns and commonalities between fictional worlds. It applies names to every plot device, every story arc and every cinematic tool ever captured by a camera and then links them to one another. The result is like being in the mind of a paranoid schizophrenic deciphering hidden codes in newspapers. Clicking on one link will ensure that you click on another, and another until you have lost your way back home and forgotten who you are.|[[Cracked.com]] columnist [[Soren Bowie]], '''[http://www.cracked.com/blog/exploring-internet-in-11-days-epic-online-odyssey/ "Charybdis"]'''}}
 
{{quote|There are two things about the book that make it purest evil: the first is that anyone can add to it, so it's always changing and growing larger. The second is that every entry contains several references to other cleverly-named [[Trope|tropestrope]]s, and touching one of those names sends you to an explanation of that [[Trope]]trope's name, complete with references to other [[Trope|tropes]] . . . and at some point you look up and see you're eight years older than when you started.|[[Kingdom of Loathing]], "Tome Of Tropes" encounter}}

{{quote|''"Death Note is (at least the first half) a truly excellent story, but when you put it as Tropey [[Mc Tropeface]] finds a Droppytrope and [[Tropey Angel]] Tropes him into Troping a [[Trope Trope]] along with [[Loli Trope]] and [[No Name Trope]] Trope the Trope, well.. it kind of loses something in the translation, you know?"''|'''[[Billy vs. SNAKEMAN|Al McMasters]]'''}}
