History Tropers / Wheezy

* OldShame: There was another example under "StoryWithinAStory." It's gone now.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: One of Jones's uncles. This will not be discussed further.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: A few characters that briefly showed up in minor roles during the high school and college arcs ended up as this for years afterwards, even the ones who never returned to the show.

* ChekhovsGunman: Jones's first girlfriend had a very brief uncredited {{cameo}} four years before being properly introduced.

* ArcFatigue: The "first girlfriend" arc spent five years leading to a massive {{anticlimax}}.

The "show" is notable for its unusual format - it's made entirely in RealLife, in RealTime, and features no script or direction. The cast, crew, and audience are just whoever happen to wander by. Very little of it has been written about, no moving footage of it has been discovered, and it's gone completely unadvertised, although various [[ShowWithinAShow spinoff stories]], {{character blog}}s, and pieces of ConceptArt [[http://thatguyyoumetonce.deviantart.com have been posted online]], to decent reception.

* StoryWithinAStory: The series has spawned several examples of type 1, some of which have been {{defictionalized}}.

** Ganzfeld (Pilot)

"Wheezy" debuted on November 7, 1990. It tells the story of C.S. Jones, a [[TheQuietOne quiet]] StarvingArtist whose internet handle, derived from a high school nickname, provides the current working title.

Since then, it's received mixed reviews, and although it may have developed a small cult following in the areas where it's produced (it's hard to tell) many have also dismissed it as "depressing," too "self-indulgent, and "lacking focus." However, all of the cast involved have been praised for their extremely convincing performances [[AsHimself as themselves]].

* StoryWithinAStory: The series has spawned several examples of type 1, three of which - Ganzfeld, Yume-Hime, and Burning Bridges - are in the process of being {{defictionalized}} and adapted into ExtendedUniverse comics.

* LongLostUncleAesop: Two of Jones's exes and a few distant family members.

* TropeCodifier: An in-universe example. During the "TvTropes obsession subplot" that mostly ran during the college arc, Jones wrote the following articles for the wiki:

** The "second girlfriend" arc lasted several months in 2012 before being abruptly cancelled, despite complaints that it may have been the best arc of the series to that point. There was talk of bringing it back, but negotiations with the female lead never worked out.
*** Ironically, the "first full-time job" arc also joined the list after only two weeks. The "second full-time job" arc didn't fare much better, at two months.

* ArcFatigue: The "first girlfriend" arc, on the other hand, spent five years leading to a massive {{anticlimax}}.

* DemotedToExtra: A common fate for cast members, most notably Jones's first two girlfriends, his childhood best friend, most of his family, and almost everyone he knew in high school.
