History ReferencedBy / TVTropes

* The Daily Beast once published an article by Matt Lewis titled "[[https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-arizona-speech-proves-his-shock-comic-act-has-jumped-the-shark Trump’s Arizona Speech Proves His Shock Comic Act Has Jumped the Shark]]", which links to CousinOliver and JumpingTheShark. In it, he talks about how UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump's brand of shock-jock politics may be wearing out its welcome, and how he took on a fresh young face in Kari Lake[[note]], who would go on to lose her bid for Governor of UsefulNotes/{{Arizona}},[[/note]] in an attempt to lend some rejuvenation to his flagging brand.

* [[Website/TheAgonyBooth Mr. Mendo]] reviewed ''Film/TheRoom'' on [[http://www.agonybooth.com/video1191_The_Room_2003_Movie_Review.aspx this site's request]], and referred to the Booth's occassionally rocky relationship with Tropers. Still, he calls TV Tropes his favorite website.

* [[http://animefeet.blogspot.com/2014/01/bare-feet-as-trope-in-media.html This post]] at the Anime Feet blog criticizes our DoesNotLikeShoes page.

* In a ''National Review'' [[http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/432350/if-i-say-do-it-theyre-going-do-it-thats-what-leadership-all-about column]] on the 2016 US Presidential election, Jim Geraghty discusses how ''Series/TwentyFour'' AntiHero Jack Bauer refused to cross the MoralEventHorizon, complete with a link to the trope page.

* [[https://pure-good-heroes.fandom.com/wiki/Pure_Good_Wiki:Goodness_Zone Pure Good Wiki]] links to ThisVeryWiki's HeroesFrontierStep page on the former wiki's equivalent called "Goodness Zone".

* WebVideo/TheMysteriousMrEnter regularly references TV Tropes in his videos, linked his tropes page to his channel, and even edited it a bit. He even showed the StatusQuoIsGod page briefly in the episode regarding "[[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Seahorse Seashell Party]]".

* Website/KnowYourMeme used this site to confirm if WebAnimation/YouTubePoop was a [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/youtube-poop meme]]. It's not just YTP, though. There are at least five other articles that have mentioned or linked back to this wiki.

* [[http://youchewpoop.com/wiki/index.php/Chewiki Chewiki]], the official wiki of WebAnimation/YouTubePoop (yeah, really), has [[http://youchewpoop.com/wiki/index.php/TV_Tropes an informative page]] on TV Tropes as well.

* In the August 2014 issue of ''Otaku USA'', Jason Bradley Thompson's review of ''LightNovel/DragonarAcademy'' has this reference:

--> "Alright, Miss Stout. From what you've told me you have a severe case of... hold on... SanitySlippage, which is an AmbiguousDisorder caused by... huh... You're now what we technically call a [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} 'cuckoolander']]."

* This ''Series/DoctorWho'' [[http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/what-to-expect-the-day-of-the-doctor-55464.htm TV article]] about the "[[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor Day of the Doctor]]" is very aware of TV Tropes; the entire article is about 80% WikiWord references. For example...
-->''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."''

* The Daily Beast once published an article by Matt Lewis titled "[[https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-arizona-speech-proves-his-shock-comic-act-has-jumped-the-shark Trump’s Arizona Speech Proves His Shock Comic Act Has Jumped the Shark]]", which links to CousinOliver and JumpingTheShark. In it, he talks about how UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump's brand of shock-jock politics may be wearing out its welcome, and how he took on a fresh young face in Kari Lake[[note]], who would go on to lose her bid for Governor of Arizona,[[/note]] in an attempt to lend some rejuvenation to his flagging brand.

* [[https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-arizona-speech-proves-his-shock-comic-act-has-jumped-the-shark This]] article from The Daily Beast, by Matt Lewis, links to CousinOliver and JumpingTheShark.

* The Creator/{{Netflix}} special ''Attack of the Hollywood Clichés'' is esentially a review of various TV Tropes articles such as the WireDilemma, 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.

** Made more obvious in Episode 16 of the Runaway Guys' ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii'' [=LP=], where he comments, "LetsPlay/{{Josh|Jepson}}, according to TV Tropes, you're [[TheChick the girl.]]"

* [[http://www.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Touhou_Wiki The Touhou Wiki]], although it doesn't have an actual entry for Website/TVTropes, as would be expected from a wiki on Franchise/TouhouProject, but it does include a link to our [[Characters/TouhouProject Touhou character page]] from the character index on TW.

[[folder:Film]]

* In Website/TheEditingRoom's script for ''Film/TulipFever'', Holliday Grainger claims that Creator/AliciaVikander's ZanyScheme to fool her husband by pretending to be pregnant while Holliday actually has the baby is "the dumbest fucking plan ever. EVER. It's the new [[TropeCodifier codifier]] for 'IdiotPlot' on TV Tropes."

* ''TabletopGame/{{Fate}}: Core'' system ([[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/evilhat/fate-core link]]) has the following advice about the setting for a Fate game:

* [[http://pishoque.net/brian/fanfic/kbdh/index.htm Kyon: Big Damn Hero]] is a story that is described as a crossover between LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya and Website/TVTropes. Based on the [[{{Troperiffic}} massive number of tropes]] listed on [[Fanfic/KyonBigDamnHero the Main Trope page for the story]], not to mention several tropes [[ShoutOut referred to]] [[ConversationalTroping by name]].

* LetsPlay/LewisBrindley and LetsPlay/SimonLane referenced the site in the ''Machinima/YogscastMinecraftSeries'' when they note when a safe path leads to nowhere but a dangerous path leads further.

* Wiki/RationalWiki [[http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/TV_Tropes lists TV Tropes under "Internet Kooks"]][[note]]specifically under "sometimes good, sometimes shit".[[/note]]

* [[http://pishoque.net/brian/fanfic/kbdh/index.htm Kyon: Big Damn Hero]] is a story that is described as a crossover between LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya and Wiki/TVTropes. Based on the [[{{Troperiffic}} massive number of tropes]] listed on [[Fanfic/KyonBigDamnHero the Main Trope page for the story]], not to mention several tropes [[ShoutOut referred to]] [[ConversationalTroping by name]].
* The author of ''Fanfic/LightAndDarkTheAdventuresOfDarkYagami'' was apparently pleased to find our entry on it. Dark randomly declares himself a "sutle [sic] MagnificentBastard" as a TakeThat to the wiki claiming Dark had no subtle gambits, and we're suddenly told Near did a lot of [[FelonyMisdemeanor supposedly evil things]] after Wiki/TVTropes claimed Near did nothing worthy of his ChewToy status. Later, he thought it was awesome that @/{{Slowzombie}} is {{l|etsPlay}}iveblogging it, [[LiteralMinded Slow's eye problems notwithstanding]].

* In ''WebVideo/DeathNoteTheAbridgedSeriesKpts4tv'', Raye Penber uses Wiki/TVTropes to aid in the Kira investigation:
-->'''Raye Penber:''' So far all I have is from Wiki/TVTropes. Did you know that Kira means glitter in Japanese?

** [[http://www.cracked.com/photoplasty_199_17-board-games-too-awesome-to-exist/ Another Photoshop bit]] postulates Wiki/TVTropes the BoardGame.

* TheRant for [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/ripcord This]] ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'' strip is "Is this something already covered by Wiki/TVTropes? I haven't checked yet". [[StrawVulcan It is]].

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': [[http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8006917&postcount=137 According to the Giant]], he's aware of Wiki/TVTropes, but has never directly referenced it; everything that seems like a reference is OlderThanTheyThink.

* In at least [[http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/?date=2010-02-12 one]] ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' strip, Dan has linked to Wiki/TVTropes in TheRant. Specifically, the RedShirt page.

** After Erin takes Kratos' (from ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'') advice and try to destroy her friend's UsefulNotes/XBox360 and almost seriously harming another in the process, she gets thrown out of their house. [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/comics/critical-miss/9527-Consensus She then decides to get drunk,]] and comments that "This is going to look '''terrible''' on my Wiki/TVTropes page."

* The Wiki/SCPFoundation lists this site as an safe-class object: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-4445-j SCP 4445]]. (Granted, it's a joke entry, written in response to our article about them...) Seems that in the SCP-verse, this wiki is a front for the Foundation, used for psychological screening and recruitment. Also, in [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/supplemental-report-239-b-192 Supplemental Report 239-B-192]]. [-Not to mention members showing up on the forum occasionally.-]
* The ''WebOriginal/{{Inglip}}'''s main (so to say) artist Prodlly (alias The Troll) evidently is deeply in love with Wiki/TVTropes, to the extent that he sometimes mentions it directly in the comics, for surplus metalulz.

* ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'': Linkara made the exclamation "Oh my God! Wiki/TVTropes used one of my quotes!" during a PreviouslyOn montage.[[note]]According to Linkara it was the headline quote for BrokenAesop[[/note]]

** Dedicated a [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thedudette/nostalgia-chick/16616-the-smurfette-principle whole video]] to DistaffCounterpart and TheSmurfettePrinciple, using Wiki/TVTropes' names for both.
** She strikes again in [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thedudette/nostalgia-chick/22681-ever-after her review]] of ''[[Literature/{{Cinderella}} Ever After]]'', where she discusses TheWoobie trope and mentions Wiki/TVTropes by name.

** In his later review of ''[[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/ir/yrt/readright/21419-lets-bible Let's Bible]]'', he refers to Wiki/TVTropes by name, discussing the WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic trope, and even displaying the page as he talks. In subtitles, he admits that [[CaptainObvious he visits the site]], and also says that the above paragraph shouldn't count as an example of Notable References to [=TVTropes=], but that his present discussion should. The obvious solution? [[TakeAThirdOption Have both of them as examples]], of course.

* Wiki/{{Wikipedia}}: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_Tropes has an article]].

* [[http://www.virtueverse.com The Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe]], a server-specific VideoGame/CityOfHeroes / VideoGame/CityOfVillains role-playing resource infrequently links to Wiki/TVTropes in their articles, primarily by way of its users [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] the tropes that their characters [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools invoke or conform to]].
* According to the Wiki/SCPFoundation, we are an SCP Object (Safe class) numbered [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-4445-j SCP-4445-J]]. Apparently, we're a front for the Foundation and a recruitment tool.

* [[http://www.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Touhou_Wiki The Touhou Wiki]], although it doesn't have an actual entry for Wiki/TVTropes, as would be expected from a wiki on Franchise/TouhouProject, but it does include a link to our [[Characters/TouhouProject Touhou character page]] from the character index on TW.

* The [[http://arcana.wikidot.com/ Arcana Wiki]] tries to [[http://arcana.wikidot.com/trope mirror and partially rewrite]] Wiki/TVTropes for role-playing game purposes - instead of listing examples, it strives to provide inspiration and ideas.

* [[http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Richard_L._Jenkins The Mass Effect Wiki]] uses Wiki/TVTropes as a reference in demonstrating that the name Leeroy Jenkins is a reoccurring character name.

->''"Oh my god! Wiki/TVTropes used one of my quotes!"''

* ''VideoGame/MarioLuigiAndGary'' contains several references to TVTropes. Bowser of all people seems to be a troper, describing his new minion as a PsychoForHire in those exact words!

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