History ReferencedBy / TVTropes

* JustForFun/TropeTan and CaptainObvious are characters in ''Webcomic/TheWayOfTheMetagamer''. The comic also directly mentions ''JustForFun/AvatarAndTheAirbendingFellowshipOfVampireSlayers'' and tropes on Wiki/ThisVeryWiki.

* Wiki/TFWikiDotNet [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ruined_FOREVER proudly proclaims]] its status as the TropeNamer for DarthWiki/RuinedFOREVER. Their [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Kid-appeal_character article]] on The Bumblebee (renamed to KidAppealCharacter, although the redirect remains) makes a similar reference, what with all three of the Trope Namers being on the list.

It's no surprise that the TV Tropes Wiki is one of the most popular websites on the Internet,[[note]]([[http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/tvtropes.org as of the last time we checked, we're 9,769th]])[[/note]] and, equally, it's no surprise that other webpages want to give us a ShoutOut, or that we would want to return the favor by shouting back to the pages that reference us.

* [[http://wiki.alternatehistory.com/doku.php/offtopic/tv_tropes The AH.com Wiki]] (wiki of the site which brought you ''Script/AHDotComTheSeries'', ''Literature/LookToTheWest'', ''Literature/DecadesOfDarkness'', the Literature/ChaosTimeline and others).

* Gary Karkofsky, protagonist of ''Literature/TheRulesOfSupervillainy'' mentions TV tropes and specific tropes several times during his adventures. Creator/CTPhipps is notably a troper on the site.

* [[https://1d4chan.org/wiki/TVTropes 1d4chan]] (an unnofficial wiki for WebsiteFourChan's [[TabletopGames /tg/]] board) has an article discussing TV Tropes. In spite of their criticism of us, they begrudgingly admit that there ''is'' an overlap in userbase.

* Wiki/RationalWiki [[http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/TV_Tropes lists TV Tropes under "Internet Kooks"]][[note]]specifically under "sometimes good, sometimes shit".[[/note]]
%%Please don't complain about this. RW's criticisms are pretty valid.

* ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'' mentions this wiki in the notes a lot. So does ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids''. As {{@/Dmmaus}} is a known {{Troper}}, this should be expected.

It's no surprise that the TV Tropes Wiki is one of the most popular websites on the Internet,[[note]]([[http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/tvtropes.org as of the last time we checked, we're 11,168th]])[[/note]] and, equally, it's no surprise that other webpages want to give us a ShoutOut, or that we would want to return the favor by shouting back to the pages that reference us.

-->'''Chugga:''' I don't know who runs my TV Tropes page, but I gotta say this: I have undying respect for whoever you person or persons are because you keep that thing updated like nuts. Especially the [[{{Funny/Chuggaaconroy}} Funny]] page. My god, it's nuts.

* On ''WebVideo/{{Unraveled}}'', Brian discusses the purpose of art in his call for updating ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'''s music:

-->--'''[[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]]''', review on ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'' #306 (once again using one of his quotes)

-->A visit to TVT&I will teach you [[RuleOfThree three things]]: (1) originality is dead, (2) no one misses it, and (3) [[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife you’ve just blown six hours]].

-->''Watch the special and tick off all the {{Continuity Nod}}s you recognize because there will be tons of them! Expect dozens of {{Call Back}}s to previous stories also. Well…even more than usual. We already know that TheBusCameBack for [[Creator/DavidTennant Tennant]] and [[Creator/BilliePiper Piper]] and [[Creator/StevenMoffat Moffat]] [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Dropped a Bridge]] on Creator/PaulMcGann’s Doctor in the prequel, so who else can we be expected to see."''

* [[WebVideo/VShojo Ironmouse]], upon seeing a clip of [[WebAnimation/{{Hololive}} Kiara]] reacting to the [[Characters/HololiveEnglishGenerationOneMyth HoloMyth page]], more specifically the note attached which mentions the existence of [[Characters/VShojo her character page]], her curiosity was piqued and she went to see it for herself. Mouse's reaction ranges from acknowledging the accuracy, laughing or freaking out at some absurd tropes, refusing to read a few of the entries, to expressing comedic outrage towards certain tropes that rub her the wrong way.

* The [[http://sonichu.com/cwcki/Sonichu_(comic) Sonichu (comic)]] page on [[http://sonichu.com/cwcki/Main_Page CWCki]] links to the ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'' article in its external links.
** ''Webcomic/{{Asperchu}}'s'' main page links to its TV Tropes page.

** Their pages on [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_laugh Evil Laugh]], [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manic_Pixie_Dream_Girl Manic Pixie Dream Girl]] and more, reference [[WeAreNotAloneIndex our own pages]] on them.

It's no surprise that the TV Tropes Wiki is one of the most popular websites on the Internet,[[note]]([[http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/tvtropes.org as of the last time we checked, we're 10,439th]])[[/note]] and, equally, it's no surprise that other webpages want to give us a ShoutOut, or that we would want to return the favor by shouting back to the pages that reference us.

* ''ComicBook/LokiAgentOfAsgard'' knows their tropes. Not only is an early chapter called "LetsYouAndHimFight", but the following chapter has an airplane passenger read "Movietropes.com" ([[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife "You will never leave"]]) and check out the trope "Something On The Wing" (which admittedly doesn't exist... ''yet'') when that trope happens to himself.

* ''Fanfic/ManOfDreams'': the author mentions TV Tropes in the first author's note and later references the fact that TVTropesWillRuinYourLife.

-->A visit to TVT&I will teach you [[RuleOfThree three things]]: (1) originality is dead, (2) no one misses it, and (3) [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife you’ve just blown six hours]].

* [[http://dizzy.pestermom.com/?p=index This]] ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' fansite references some tropes and [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife warns about the dangers of Trope Addiction]] with every link to this site. It's a {{Troper Work|s}}, and the main site of Webcomic/TouhouNekokayou.

-->While innumerable examples of all these spring to mind, I can't help feeling that filmgoers who [[MeasuringTheMarigolds spend their time trope-spotting]] rather than following the plot [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife may be missing some of the finer points of the art form]], but to each his own.

* During one of her superchat reading streams, Kiara Takahashi of WebAnimation/{{hololive}} EN was pointed to [[Characters/HololiveEnglishGenerationOneMyth her entry on the hololive characters pages]], and proceeded to read several examples from it live with a mix of amusement and shock. [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife She concluded by saying she would read more of the page later, off-stream.]]

** As of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'', Chugga is prone to mention many tropes by name that likely are only known by [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife tropers who visit this website often]], implying that Emile may have spent much more time on Wiki/ThisVeryWiki than he lets on.

'''Pat:''' Well, [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife Woolie is dead]].

* The ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'' Wiki has a page about an enemy in the game called the [[http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Tome_of_Tropes Tome of Tropes]], which is a giant book that explains and gives names to all of the recurring themes in media and real life. Although taking a look in the tome is a good thing to do in times of boredom, [[TvTropesWillRuinYourLife you might spend too much time reading it, which is harmful to your health and salary.]]

* Another indirect example: Pop culture analysis site The Mary Sue[[note]]which is already named after [[MarySue a trope]], albeit one that predates this wiki[[/note]] published [[http://www.themarysue.com/nightmare-hippy-girls/ an article]] titled "What We Can Actually Learn by Re-Imagining the 'ManicPixieDreamGirl' Trope". It doesn't mention this page, although it gives due credit to Creator/NathanRabin for naming the concept.

It's no surprise that the TV Tropes Wiki is one of the most popular websites on the Internet,[[note]]([[http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/tvtropes.org as of the last time we checked, we're actually 2,016th]])[[/note]] and, equally, it's no surprise that other webpages want to give us a ShoutOut, or that we would want to return the favor by shouting back to the pages that reference us.

* The Creator/{{Netflix}} special ''Attack of the Hollywood Clichés'' is esentially a review of various TV Tropes articles such as the CarChase, CowboyCop, FatalFamilyPhoto, MirrorScare, RedRightHand, ManicPixieDreamGirl, and TheSmurfettePrinciple with commentary from various Hollywood actors, directors, and movie critics. As the title indicates, it takes a decidedly more hostile view on the tropes it discusses than TV Tropes itself does, often criticizing them from an {{Anvilicious}} left-wing perspective. On this website, the more neutral view that Administrivia/TropesAreTools predominates.
