* For {{Elemental Plane}}s, the four classical NaturalElements: Fire, Water, Earth and Air are most likely to come up, sometimes accompanied by secondary ones such as lightning or magic. But that's by no means a requirement, as just about anything else is liable to get its own conceptual plane as well. A dimension of mayonnaise, a world made of diamond, or a rectangular realm of rectangles, you name it.

* AllJustADream has quite a broad scope. It can be used for a single scene, entire episodes, entire seasons (''Series/{{Dallas}}''), or even [[MindScrew the entire series]] (''Series/StElsewhere''). It can be a regular dream (''Film/TheWizardOfOz''), a [[CuckoosNest psychotic delusion of innocence]] told by an UnreliableNarrator (''Film/TheCabinetOfDrCaligari'') or even a "simulation" (''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''; 6th season, episodes 4th and 5th). ''Series/{{Newhart}}'' manages to make fun of this, ''and'' crank it up even further by claiming the series is the dream of a character (played by the same actor) in ''another series'' (namely, ''Series/TheBobNewhartShow'').

* GameGourmet is about variety of collectible or selectable food in video games. It is common for games under this trope to have too many different foodstuffs to count, but the current minimum stands at 10 (which is still only a guideline).

* WhamEpisode, WhamLine, and WhamShot don't always have to be about negative {{Plot Twist}}s. They can involve positive plot twists as well, like a seemingly villain-aligned character revealing themselves as TheMole to the heroes, or a seemingly-inept companion of the hero finally [[IAmNotLeftHanded revealing their true abilities]]. The important part about these tropes is that they suddenly and significantly change the course of the story.
