Work titles always go in italics. As an extension of Examples Are Not Recent it\'s best not to describe a work as recent. Apparently the title has a space. Many of these examples need expansion, since the point is to flesh out the trope with specifics: a link is not a substitute for content. Assume the reader will not follow any external links. Please see How To Write Example. Hilarious In Hindsight is a subjective and stays on the YMMV tab.
