71* [[JustForFun/TropeNameInjokes Completely unnecessary subpage that's actually shorter than some of the folders here.]]
72* [[JustForFun/TropeNameInjokes Even more unnecessary subpage that only contains a single example.]]
73* [[JustForFun/TropeNameInjokes Subpage for a really long work.]]
74* [[JustForFun/TropeNameInjokes Subpage for a really popular work.]]
75* [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Subpage for a really long and popular work.]]

77[[foldercontrol]]
78
79[[folder: General]]
80As [[Administrivia/HowToWriteAnExample Examples Are Not General]], this folder should probably be removed and have some of its content moved to the trope description and/or the Analysis subpage. It's still here due to a combination of This Troper not knowing about the policy, That Troper not knowing where to move the content, and Yonder Troper just not having the heart to delete it.
81
82* Claim that ''all'' works from a specific genre contain this trope.
83* List of tropes that very often accompany or lead to this trope. Probably better suited for the {{Analysis}} namespace.
84* Example from a specific work that should be moved to an appropriate medium.
85[[/folder]]
86
87[[folder:[=[Medium Name]=]]]
88* Example that goes at the top because the work uses this trope so {{JustForFun/egregious}}ly that it deserves to be at the top.
89* Example from ''JustForFun/WorkName''.
90* Example from ''Namespace/Work'' whose link is broken because the title has only one word and the troper who added it forgot to add the [={{curly brackets}}=] around the title.
91* Example that was accidentally split in half years ago, an
92* Example at the top because it is general, with "general" here meaning that it consists entirely of a broad, unsupported statement that the trope "was very popular" in some class of works during some time period. Or, in other words, that the trope ''is a trope''.
93* Example at the top by a new troper who doesn't know to always put new examples alphabetically.
94* Example at the very top because someone is an Administrivia/EntryPimp ...I mean, example at the top because it's the TropeNamer.
95* Example at the top because it's the TropeNamer. No other explanation.
96* Example near the top that used to be the TropeNamer, but now is just confusing because the trope name was changed and no one bothered to update the example text.
97* Administrivia/ZeroContextExample that tries and fails to hide its lack of context by adding [[Administrivia/WordCruft something like "Full Stop"]] at the end.
98** [[Administrivia/JustifyingEdit But it actually isn't!]]
99*** Utterly unironic [[Administrivia/ExampleIndentationInTropeLists sub-bulleted]] condemnation of Administrivia/{{Justifying Edit}}s. [[HypocriticalHumor Hypocritical]] reminder to Administrivia/RepairDontRespond.
100* Example from an obscure work at or near the top only because it was [[Administrivia/EntryPimp a favorite]] of the Trope Launcher.
101* Equally obscure example at or near the top because the three-hundredth edit was made by someone who either doesn't know the rules or feels that this example is way better than the ones below.
102* Chronologically-confusing entry that refers to entries further down the page but got moved to the top thanks to someone alphabetizing all the entries but not re-writing them to fit.
103* Example that was closer to the top due to an overeager Administrivia/EntryPimp, but was pushed downward by more of the same.
104* Example from a classic which allows an editor to declare it one of TheOldestOnesInTheBook.
105* Example declared to be the UrExample, even though likely not one.
106* [[Administrivia/SquarePegRoundTrope Shoehorned]] example from ''JustForFun/TropeOverdosed: The Series''. Labeled "Obligatory" due to FanMyopia.
107* [[Administrivia/ZeroContextExample Example without any explanation]].
108** Elaboration that should have been edited to the original example.
109* Example that has nothing to do with the trope, but is related to the trope name. Probably added because This Troper either tried to be clever or couldn't be bothered to read the trope page and guessed the meaning based on the trope name alone.
110* Example that, due to the fact that there are other examples here, should have two bullet points.
111** An extra sentence that really shouldn't have its own bullet point but simply be part of the original entry.
112** Another example from the same book that's added in with another bullet, making it seem as if it's part of the original example
113** Example from an unrelated work that the editor put here for some reason.
114** example from someone who doesn't bother with capitalization, speling n porper grammar
115* Example that this editor is shocked, surprised, or astounded hasn't been mentioned yet. You've probably never heard of it.
116* Example that begins with "This is not actually an example, but..."
117* Example that begins with "I don't know if this is an example" or "I'm not sure if this is an example".
118* Examples from four more JustForFun/TropeOverdosed series.
119--> '''Name with overly long description of the character's situation:''' quote from the series that is related to the example above, but not the trope.
120* Example that uses [[WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma "it's" when it should be using "its"]], and [[RougeAnglesOfSatin "lead" when it should be using "led"]].
121* Example that makes sense only if you interpret the work through a certain pervasive fan theory, but does not mention this fan theory in any way.
122
123* Example that [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhatAnIdiot uses external link markup when a WikiWord would have been quite sufficient]].
124* Example made by a contributor that doesn't know how to properly [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Pothole pothole single-word articles]] and uses the external link markup instead.
125* Example made by a contributor [[ExPy similar to the above]] that also doesn't understand single-word links and threw in a random capital letter instead.
126* Administrivia/ZeroContextExample claiming that a work is "infamous" for using this trope, without saying so much as a single word as to ''how''.
127* Example that allegedly "provides" the page image and/or quote, except that the image and/or quote in question has been replaced or removed since the example was added and nobody bothered to update the example.
128* [[Administrivia/AllBlueEntry Example]] [[OhCrap with]] [[IfItWasFunnyTheFirstTime an]] [[WordSaladHumor irrelevant]] Administrivia/{{sinkhole}} [[ExaggeratedTrope in]] [[SerialEscalation absolutely]] [[AllOfThem every]] [[Creator/MarkHamill word]].
129* Example that someone placed a [[YMMV/HomePage YMMV Trope]] in that the contributor thought was an SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}, SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}, NightmareFuel, or TearJerker that should probably be fixed up, but might stay with an unsightly mark for some time.
130%%* Administrivia/ZeroContextExample that has been commented out.
131* Administrivia/ZeroContextExample that needs to be commented out.
132%%* Administrivia/ZeroContextExample where someone attempted to add context, but another troper deemed it insufficient and commented it out again instead of expanding on the example.
133* "Administrivia/ZeroContextExample in the form of a quote that the contributor assumes everyone knows, especially if it's from something outside the mainstream!"
134%%* Administrivia/ZeroContextExample that has been commented out. The same work has full context somewhere else on the page, because the person who added it didn't notice the commented out entry.
135* Administrivia/ZeroContextExample that simply states the trope was [[PlayingWithATrope played with]] in some form or another. Bonus points if it's an {{aver|tedTrope}}sion of a trope which is not {{Omnipresent|Tropes}}.
136* [[http://badlink.nonexistent.void Example consisting entirely of a weblink to a site that probably died a week after the example was added.]]
137* Example that was mentioned earlier on this page.
138* Example with [[Administrivia/TextFormattingRules|incorrect formatting]], which is {{IdiotBall}} probably]] ''accidental'. [[note:customnotelabel]]Complete with note markup where labelnote markup should be[[/note]]
139'''Alice''':
140--> I think this is formatted *wrong*
141-> ''Bob'': Alice is [i]probably[/i] right.
142* Example that was left unfini
143* Example of the trope being averted in a work that has no reason to use it in the first place.
144* Example with an extra blank line after it.
145
146** Incorrectly indented example.
147* Example that requires an extremely long explanation.
148* Example that ''doesn't'' require an extremely long explanation, but has one anyway.
149* Example with a [[spioler:broken spoiler]], so everyone can see [[spoilers:who the secret traitor is]], [[Spoiler: who gets killed off]] and [[spoiler:how the work ends].
150* [[spoiler:Entirely spoilered example. [[note]]A footnote inside the spoiler that you can't open without accidentally closing the spoiler.[[/note]]]]
151* Example [[note]][[spoiler:Spoilered footnote which requires you to close the footnote to reveal the spoiler]][[/note]]
152* [[spoiler: An example]] that is [[spoiler: completely spoilered out,]] except for [[spoiler: phrases that make no sense on their own]].
153* Exa[[spoiler:mp]]le with such [[spoiler:biza]]rre spoiler tags that you [[spoiler:have to r]]eveal, just because you[[spoiler: ]]can't figure out what[[spoiler:']]s going o[[spoiler:n.]]
154* Example that [[spoiler:contains a spoiler. Second sentence that also has spoilers but only partially, causing the spoiler markup]] to end in a spot that feels awkward to read if you don't also read the hidden text.
155* Example that contains a pothole that is broken up by italics, forcing the curious reader to [[SelfDemonstratingArticle check the tooltip before,]] ''[[SelfDemonstratingArticle during,]]'' [[SomethingCompletelyDifferent and after the italics]] to see if they all lead to the same page.
156* [[supersecretspoiler: Example using deprecated mark-up]] [[strike:in a lame attempt at sarcasm]].
157* Example with a quote, followed by some more elaboration or another example.
158-->'''Alice''': The quote.\
159'''Bob''': Yes, this is the quote.\
160The elaboration/example, which is still in quote-format because of bad formatting.
161* An example that spoilers out the fact that [[spoiler:the trope happens]] or that Alice [[spoiler:dies]].
162** Example mentioning that a character [[spoiler:seemingly]] dies. The mere presence of the spoiler gives away that the death isn't what it seems like.
163* Shoehorned "[[Administrivia/NotADeconstruction deconstructed example]]" added just because This Troper wanted to make a parody or an [[DarkerAndEdgier excessively cynical]] story seem more intellectual.
164* Example that was somehow
165split in half
166* Example full of unnecessary details.
167* Example that contains the words "also" or "similar to the above/below" despite the referred-to examples being deleted or moved, making it look very weird.
168* Example that doesn't bother to elaborate on something, and instead tells you to go to a different TV Tropes page for more details. Bonus points if the page you're told to visit doesn't exist or just tells you to go back to this page.
169* Example that put a [[Administrivia/WikiWord]] in brackets, resulting in a bracketed number instead of the simple link the editor intended.
170* Example awkwardly referencing a Administrivia/{{Renamed Trope|s}} because someone was too lazy to reword it.
171* Example that is "slightly subverted" because the editor couldn't be bothered to figure out how exactly the trope was being played with.
172* Legitimate example that contains an innocent link to a {{Trivia}} entry, and gets stuck with the YMMV scales because of a bug.
173* Example that fits better in a SubTrope.
174* Example that got partially deleted because the next bullet point down contained natter, and the troper deleting it wasn't careful enou
175* An example noted as being "played straight," as opposed to, say, almost everything else on this page.
176* Arguably, an [[Administrivia/ExamplesAreNotArguable arguable example]].
177* Example that, for some reason, italicizes a ''Administrivia/WikiWord'' that isn't a title.
178* Example that, for some reason, puts a Administrivia/{{WikiWord}} in curly brackets.
179* Example that, for some reason, potholes a [[Administrivia/WikiWord Wiki Word]] to itself.
180* Example that, for some reason, sinkholes a [[BaitAndSwitch Wiki Word]] to a completely different page.
181Example that the contributor forgot to bullet
182* Example that was repeatedly deleted and then re-added, with whole paragraph arguments in the reasons for editing.
183* An otherwise-unnoteworthy example [[note]]that some bastard decided to add a snark to inside the footnote markup[[/note]].
184* An example that is more WildMassGuessing than anything else.
185* Example that forgot to mention the title of the work.
186* Example of an inversion that doesn't belong here since the inverted trope has its own page.
187* Example that doesn't fit at all.
188* Example using a McName, McInitialism or otherwise CamelCase word that the editor never noticed, not even after it left a big honking McRedLink in the McExample.
189* Example that incorrectly links to the nonexistant plural form of a trope (such as OldShames).
190* Example that doesn't get the name of a trope quite right, thus creating a redlink that no one bothered to correct.
191* Example that [[Administrivia/FirstPersonWriting I wrote in the first person]], but I didn't use Administrivia/ThisTroper so no one ever noticed it.
192* Example from someone's personal life, but it doesn't count as Administrivia/FirstPersonWriting because the person who wrote it used other wording such as "at least one fan" to hide the fact that the example is about them specifically.
193* Example with a rude edit reason.
194* Example where an easy Administrivia/WiKiWOrd is capitalized wrong.
195* Example that either forgot to namespace a link to a work, or gave it the wrong namespace entirely, thus causing an "Inexact title" page to show up when you click on the link.
196* Example of this trope being parodied, despite the fact that the trope is already inherently a parody.
197* Example from ''[[JustForFun/WorkName Some Moderately Known Work]]''.
198** Similarly, similar example from ''[[JustForFun/WorkName A Completely Unrelated Work]]'', stapled to the above example for basically no reason
199* Example which discusses an evil deed done by [[spoiler:Evil [=McBadGuy=]]], who is the BigBad of the entire series and the obvious candidate for such a deed, but spoilers out [[spoiler:his]] name, as well as all pronouns referring to [[spoiler:him]], as though there's any other word that could possibly fit in that space and this in any way conceals that [[spoiler:he]] is still the BigBad.
200* Example from ''[[JustForFun/WorkName Some Work]]'' which already appeared on the page, but the troper who added it didn't notice because it was [[Administrivia/AllWhiteEntry entirely spoilered out]] or it [[Administrivia/{{Sinkhole}} potholed the work's name under a character name]] or some other thing you're not supposed to do. Someone will later come along and delete this entry because the older one "has seniority" or something.
201* [[Administrivia/LinkingToAnArticleWithinTheArticle Example that, for some reason, links to]] [[JustForFun/TropeNameInjokes the page you're already on]].
202* Example that, for some reason, links to [[JustForFun/TropeName a page that redirects to the page you're already on]].
203* Example that contains a [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] unnecessary swear word for no reason.
204* Example that contains a [=f***ing=] unnecessary censored swear word, which is [[Administrivia/BluenoseBowdlerizer totally not against the rules]].
205* Example that contains a [[spoiler:fucking]] unnecessary swear word that is censored with spoiler markup for some reason.
206* Example from ''[[JustForFun/WorkName Some Work]]'' (and possibly also ''[[JustForFun/WorkName Another Entry in the Series]]'', I never played/read/watched it and think pointing out the possibility is important enough to just straight-up guess without checking, for some reason)
207* A "meta" example, which is to say a RealLife example with a pasted-on excuse to file it under the wrong medium.
208* Example that doesn't fit, but the trope's name kind of sounds like it could also refer to a completely different trope that this example would fit in.
209* [[BlatantLies There is absolutely no example that says the exact opposite of what happens and then potholes it to BlatantLies]].
210* Example
211** with insufficient context
212*** that people keep adding to
213*** by pasting on a sub-bullet instead of editing the original text
214*** even though all of these bullets are about the same single example
215* Example with [[{{Pothole}} multiple consecutive]] {{pothole}}s [[{{Pothole}} to the same target]], [[{{Pothole}} for some reason]].
216* Example that may or may not be perfectly accurate. Counterargument explaining why the example is inaccurate that was originally a poorly-indented sub-bullet, but was "fixed" simply by deleting the bullet points and leaving everything else as-is.
217* Example that claims to provide the image for this trope and [[Administrivia/ZeroContextExample depends entirely on people scrolling back up and looking at the image for context]], but the image was changed so now the example makes no sense.
218* [[Administrivia/TypeLabelsAreNotExamples Type 7 example]] that doesn't explain what "Type 7" means. The trope in question had its "Type X" labels replaced with more descriptive titles, so not even reading the trope description can help you understand it.
219* Example involving a spoiler happening to [[spoiler:a character]] that only refers to them using GenderConcealingWriting even though the work has a relatively even gender ratio and knowing the gender of the spoiler character wouldn't be too revealing.
220* Example of a spoiler trope that hides [[spoiler:what the spoiler is]] instead of who it happens to, [[Administrivia/SelfFulfillingSpoiler meaning one can deduce exactly what happens merely by reading the trope description]].
221* Example that bashes the work because the work uses This Troper's PetPeeveTrope.
222* Example that [[OhCrap potholes to Oh Crap!]] to describe a moment that might unpleasantly surprise the audience when they see it for the first time.
223* Perfectly ordinary and valid example. Administrivia/{{Justif|yingEdit}}ied in that insert-flimsy-HandWave-here. Also defied and subverted, because ''JustForFun/MyFavoriteShow'' wouldn't dare play a trope straight, because tropes are bad.
224* Example that mentions that the trope happens in a trailer for ''Work X''. ''Work X'' has been out for a while now and nobody bothered to update this example to reflect that fact.
225* Example that insists it ''definitely'' qualifies, probably to draw attention from the fact that it doesn't actually qualify.
226* Eximple filled with many spellling mistakes that noo ne bothered too corect.
227* Example, see JustForFun/NextTrope for the full details for some reason. (What do you mean, "examples should stand on their own"?)
228* ''JustForFun/WorkName'': Lengthy description of the example, ensuring you have all the context of the trope.
229** [[Administrivia/NotASubversion (Partially) Subverted in that something mildly unusual happened.]]
230* Example from ''Work Name 1'' that [[spoiler:contains some spoilers for it, but also for ''Work Name 2'', thus spoiling ''Work Name 2'' for anyone who watched the first one and then opened this spoiler before watching the sequel.]]
231* Example that points out that it doubles as an example of JustForFun/NextTrope, which fact you apparently desperately needed to know to understand this trope.
232* ''JustForFun/WorkName'': [[https://fakevideowebsitethatdoesntexist.online.web.cat This]]. [[note]]And that's all the context you get![[/note]]
233* Fairly normal example, but for some reason, the troper who added it included some [[ShoutOut referential humor]] that doesn't have anything in particular to do with the actual example.
234* Example that hides something[[note]]information that is important for understanding the example's context[[/note]] in note markup, even though something else[[note]]parentheses[[/note]] exists that could do a similar thing[[note]]separating the information from the rest of the example without obscuring it[[/note]] better.
235* Example that asserts that some character "quotes the trope name directly". The trope's current name isn't a StockPhrase, suggesting that it's been renamed since the example was written, but you don't see any redirects on the bottom of the page, it's not listed on Administrivia/RenamedTropes, and the example contains no other information.
236* Example from a work that is somewhat infamous for using this trope.
237** Lampshaded when a completely different show parodied the work's use of the trope.
238* Example that mentions it was the former trope namer. Because acknowledging the unclear old name on the trope's own page is a great idea.
239* ''[[JustForFun/WorkName Some Work]]'': Normal example.
240** This example was parodied in ''[[JustForFun/WorkName Completely Different Work Not Even In The Same Medium]]'', which definitely means you should ignore everything you have ever learned about Administrivia/ExampleIndentation and awkwardly staple this example here, instead of where people will be looking for it.
241* Exclamation of shock and disbelief that the troperbase forgot this example! (Said example is, in fact, already on the page.)
242* Example containing [[spoiler:a spoiler.[[note]]And it has a note in it to conceal an even spoilier spoiler.[[/note]]]]
243* Example containing a note.[[note]]And the note has [[spoiler:a spoiler]] in it.[[/note]]
244* Example
245** Trope: Awkwardly tacked-on, semi-relevant explanation about how this example also contains an example of another trope.
246* ''JustForFun/WorkName'' has a few examples:
247** Example of a character, place, event, or thing that fits the trope.
248-> "Quote adding more information about the example"
249** Second example that appears shrunken because the above quote didn't use enough dashes in its formatting.
250* "Example consisting entirely of a quote talking about the trope that is potholed to the work's page, with no extra information like who is saying the quote or what work it's from"
251* Example where the mere fact that the trope applies to the work is a spoiler. Because This Troper doesn't know how to hide such a spoiler without it being a Administrivia/SelfFulfillingSpoiler, [[spoiler:the work's name]] is hidden instead so reading this example won't spoil the work.
252* Example that contains [[PopCultureUrbanLegends disputed or disproven information]].
253* Example that is actually Administrivia/SpeculativeTroping based on a fan theory that hasn't been removed even years after said theory was explicitly {{jossed}}.
254* Obligatory example from a work widely considered to be SnarkBait about how it uses the trope badly and/or including some kind of TakeThat. This entry would be heavily edited if it weren't for the fact that most tropers agree with the criticism.
255* Example.
256** Natter-y response with incorrect indentation. If you look at the page history, you'll find out that it was added in the same edit as the first bullet point.
257* A "[[Administrivia/NotASubversion somewhat subverted]]" example.
258* A "[[DownplayedTrope somewhat averted]]" example.
259* A "[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment somewhat downplayed]]" example.
260* ''JustForFun/WorkName'': [[spoiler:Example that is almost completely contained in spoiler markup, but since the work's title is still visible, it might still give the reader a hint as to what the plot details are given what this trope is about.]]
261* [[spoiler:''JustForFun/WorkName'': Example that conceals the name of the work inside a spoiler, thus giving readers no idea what the work even is without spoiling themselves (which is why hiding a work's title or trope's name is against the editing rules).]]
262* ''JustForFun/WorkName'': Perfectly normal description of trope occurring in the work. Administrivia/TropesAreTools, though, so depending on if work had a huge fandom or hatedom, the trope will be listed with the relevant alternate Administrivia/TropesAreTools name.
263* Example shoehorning how obscure, notable, or (un)forgettable the work is before explaining its use of the trope.
264* The same example from ''JustForFun/WorkName'' that was found higher up in the folder, but was added anyway because either the first example wasn't wicked or was mispelled; this example should be merged with the first one depending on if any new information was added.
265* Perfectly ordinary example about something that is well known and easy to verify. For whatever reason, the troper who added it felt the need to write "Added an example" as the edit reason even though it's self-evident.
266* Example from a work that does not yet have a TV Tropes page. The work page isn't Administrivia/{{redlink}}ed because the troper wrongfully assumed work pages aren't allowed to be redlinked in the same way that red links to tropes are disallowed.
267* A remark that [Work Name] has so many examples that it should get its own page, followed by only listing two or three examples of the trope.
268* Example whose edit reason tells you the explanation can be found in an edit reason in the history of another page, raising the question of why the troper didn't just copy and paste it instead.
269* Not even [Work Name] is immune from this trope. Because tropes are diseases.
270* Not even [category of work that you would not particularly expect to avoid this trope] is immune from this trope. [[Administrivia/ZeroContextExample Poorly-contextualized]] list of works in that category that have used the trope.
271* Example that spoilers out [[spoiler:The Game, which you just lost.]]
272* Example that mentions an extra detail in the trope's usage. This extra detail will start with "Bonus points for" as if the creators were being graded on using the tropes.
273* Example with a detail that This Troper didn't remember perfectly (I think it might have been That Troper instead) with a parenthetical written in first person.
274** Sub-bullet that only says "[Completely different work] also does this."
275* Example on a work that doesn't have its own page yet, but [[SimilarlyNamedWorks shares its title]] with one that does. The title in the example will be followed by "(no, not that one)" with "that one" {{Pot Hole}}d to the other work.
276* Example referencing a character that shares a name with a character in another work, again with the character's name followed by "(no, not that one)" with "that one" {{Pot Hole}}d to the other work. A PotHole to NamesTheSame may be present even though that's now a disambiguation.
277* Example including the involvement of someone you might not expect to be involved in something like that. The person's name will be followed by "(yes, [[RuleOfThree that one]])" with "that one" {{Pot Hole}}d to that person's most notable work.
278* Example mentioning a character, [[spoiler:whose name is immediately followed by a spoiler thing about them that has nothing to do with the trope and is here just because someone thought it was important to mention it]].
279* Example that hasn't been touched in ages until a moderator drove by to remove a depreciated wick as part of the latest Administrivia/TropeRepairShop operation.
280* Example which is like the previous example, except it isn't because the examples were sorted into alphabetical order, removing the necessary context.
281* Perfectly legitimate example.
282-->'''Alice:''' Quote previously connected to another example that was moved or deleted, but the editor wasn't careful enough to move or delete the quote as well.
283[[/folder]]
284
285[[folder:[=[Work Name]=]]]
286* Mention of JustForFun/WorkName, which apparently has enough examples to merit its own folder.
287** Example that goes up top because it is the TropeNamer.
288--> "Trope Naming quote that can probably also be found on QuotesWiki."
289** Another example where the trope is used.
290** [Work Name] OWNS this trope! Here's another example as proof.
291** Claim that [Work Name] has [Trope Name] in spades, followed by a vague example that borders on being a Administrivia/ZeroContextExample.
292** Alice does [Trope Name], and Bob is the worst offender.
293** Even this series admits it's kind of an OverusedRunningGag, hence why it was Subverted in Episode Number.
294** Example parodying Trope Name's use of this trope that should probably go in a folder other than this one.
295* Trope name that doesn't use a bullet point, indicating the prior entries were probably posted before this series gathered so many examples of this it needed its own folder.
296* Example that doesn't belong on this page at all, but has avoided deletion for a few months because the editor buried it in the middle of the article.
297* TropeName: Seen in [Work Name] Online, [Viral Marketing ARG] or [Tabletop Game] 1e (which is now out of print) but now unable to be viewed because of a failure to KeepCirculatingTheTapes.
298* [[{{Donotuse}} Other Trope Name]]: Example which could be confirmed, except the trope it links to was lost in Archive/TheGreatCrash and never reinstated. Since said trope wasn't cut and [Work Name] is obscure and posted long ago, nobody has noticed the Red Link, and if somebody does they can't tell for sure because they don't know what the trope ''was''.
299* Two words: [Work Name].
300* [Work Name]. [[Administrivia/WordCruft (And how!)]]
301* [Work Name]:
302** Single example that used to be accompanied by at least one more example, but someone deleted it and left the remaining example in its own bullet point anyway.
303* A particularly JustForFun/{{egregious}} example from Episode 12.
304* Slightly reworded example that appeared near the top of this folder.
305* Mundane example that This Troper insists is not made up, just to make [Work Name] seem crazy.
306* Example with an explanation that contradicts the explanation on the page for [Work Name].
307* Example that ''finally'' adds a link to the page for [Work Name].
308* With [Work Name], it's pretty much given.
309* Example ending in the clause "Making this...", which is potholed to [=OlderThan=][[[OlderThanDirt Dirt]] / [[OlderThanFeudalism Feudalism]] / [[OlderThanPrint Print]] / [[OlderThanSteam Steam]] / [[OlderThanRadio Radio]] / [[OlderThanTelevision Television]] / [[OlderThanTheNES The NES]]], even though [Work Name] isn't actually that old.
310* Example posted by a big fan of [Work Name], who describes it as "an interesting use of this trope" or "an odd example" despite being unremarkable.
311* An example that references "a [[Administrivia/ExamplesAreNotRecent recent]] episode of [Work Name]" without any further elaboration to help identify the episode months or years down the road.
312** Every single episode of a LongRunner past a certain threshold (usually 1/5th of the show's run) will be called a "modern" episode. You look it up and find that the episode came out in 2004.
313* ShoutOut example that describes something from [Work Name] and {{Pot Hole}}s "Sounds familiar?" to [Another Series] without explaining the connection between the described thing and [Another Series].
314* Example that was clearly copy-pasted from [Work Name]'s page.
315* Example from [Work Name].
316** Example from an unrelated series, but that is similar in that they both employ this trope.
317* Random meme that you won't get unless you're familiar with [Work Name].
318* Example that brings up major [Work Name] spoilers for no reason.
319* '''Overexcited''' example from a ''huge'' fan of [Work Name] who ''really wants to tell you how'' '''''awesome''''' the stuff '''Alice''' did in ''Episode 13'' was by '''[[EmphasizeEverything Emphasizing EVERYTHING]]'''.
320* Example that, on top of using a [[YMMV/HomePage YMMV]] pothole to sneak in an opinion, [[Awesome/WorkName specifically links to the work's subpage]] instead of just the "trope"'s page.
321* A remark that [Work Name] has so many examples that it should get its own page, but this won't happen because making a subpage would be too much work.
322[[/folder]]
323
324[[folder:Advertising]]
325* HI [[Creator/BillyMays BILLY MAYS]] HERE WITH AN EXAMPLE IN ALL CAPS
326* Example from a "[[Administrivia/ExamplesAreNotRecent recent]]" car commercial.
327* Example from an obscure commercial that only aired in one market, thus meaning no one but the troper who added it has seen it.
328* Example from an Advertising/{{GEICO}} commercial.
329* An example about UsefulNotes/McDonalds that's about the restaurant itself rather than any of its ad campaigns.
330* Example linking to a [=YouTube=] video that was taken down.
331* Example from a commercial that doesn't bother explaining what it's about since the troper who added it thinks that everyone's already watched it.
332* Example from a commercial for a certain product. There is no link to the ad, the brand of the product isn't specified, and there's no further info on when or where the ad was aired. This makes it almost impossible to look up and verify the example.
333[[/folder]]
334
335[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
336* A "general" example that's really a lecture on some aspect of Japanese culture.
337* Example after example about ''Obscure Anime [[NoExportForYou That Was Never Released Outside Japan]]''.
338** One of which is so laden with fanspeak as to be practically in Japanese itself.
339* Three and a half pages of {{Anime}} examples that you just scroll right on by because you've never heard of any of them.
340* Example from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' that ought to go in the Video Games folder.
341** Yet another example from the JustForFun/TropeOverdosed series that's here because the person who added the above example wasn't really paying attention to what he was doing.
342* an AbridgedSeries example listed under {{Anime}} instead of under WebOriginal.
343* Example from some redlinked anime called [[{{donotuse}} Nipponisu no Serizu Neemu Disupeto Puresenssu wa Taitoru no Ingurisu]], the title of which you can't make heads or tails of because you don't know Japanese, peppered with mentions of seemingly every single UsefulNotes/AnimeFanspeak trope for added confusion.
344** Complaint that you can't make head or tails of the above because you don't know Japanese.
345*** Natter about how it's Romaji, not actual Japanese.
346*** Natter about capitalization of Romaji.
347* Example from some redlinked anime called [[{{donotuse}} Akushuarii Engurisshu Taitoru]], the title of which you can't make heads or tails of because you don't know Japanese, but which you would immediately recognise had the person adding the example deigned to write the title in English, not English-turned-katakana-turned-romanized-katakana.
348* [[JustForFun/TropeOverdosed Example from]] ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'', likely under its Japanese title, ''Mahou Sensei Negima!'' May use an exclamation point even though the article has a custom title ''with'' an exclamation point, thus causing it to seem far too eager.
349* ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'' example.
350** Not to mention another example in that series.
351* An example from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''.
352* Obligatory [[Manga/{{Monster}} Johan]] reference.
353** Firm assertion that '''Johan is this trope'''.
354* An Example from an anime, which, given [[MindScrew the nature of the series]], makes sense.
355* Incomprehensible example from a MindScrew series.
356** Wall of Text that attempts to explain the above example, but ends up confusing the reader even more.
357* An example from an anime or manga which is illustrated [[http://badlink/030502 here]]. The link leads to a scanlation which has been taken down due to licensing issues, rendering the example useless.
358* Example from ''Show You Don't Watch and May Have Never Heard Of'', written [[SugarWiki/GushingAboutShowsYouLike so worshipfully]] that you get HypeAversion from a single sentence fragment.
359* Example consisting of a link to a copyright-infringing Website/YouTube upload of ''Popular Anime'', which will probably be deleted within a few days of being added.
360* Example from a western cartoon that is listed here because it looks vaguely {{Animesque}}, and because anime is inherently deep, mature, and superior while WesternAnimation [[AnimationAgeGhetto is always shallow and for kids]], so insinuating that the show is not Anime is an insult.
361* An example listing ''Anime/PrettyCure'' examples that ends at some point before ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure'' because the fanbase is different before and after.
362** At least one example that's wicked to a redirect, due to the inconsistency on whether the main page for an installment is listed as "Pretty Cure" or "[=PreCure=]".
363* Example from AsianAnimation or EasternEuropeanAnimation that This Troper confused for being Japanese.
364* An example from a dub of an anime.
365** An example of how this trope is almost always done badly in certain language dubs of anime (usually Hungarian or Latin American Spanish from Colombia), either making it SoBadItsGood or [[invoked]]DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible.
366* An example criticizing Creator/FourKidsEntertainment and all of their {{Macekre}}.
367** An example from their dub of ''Manga/OnePiece''.
368* Example from a feature-length anime film that should be placed in the Films — Animated folder.
369* General example about an entire genre of anime.
370* Several LightNovel examples that are also listed in the literature folder below. Not all of the [=LNs=] have an anime adaptation.
371* Manga example that refers to a character using the spelling from a fan-made translation rather than the official spelling, most likely swapping the letters L and R, adding an extra U after the letters O and U, replacing hard C's with K's, and inserting a vowel between consecutive consonnants. Any time someone tries to correct the name, the editor immediately reverts it to their favored spelling.
372* Example from ''Manga/DeathNote'' that spoilers out [[spoiler:L]]'s OneLetterName, because that definitely conceals any information at all.
373* An example from ''Animation/GuardianFairyMichel'' that, being a Korean cartoon and not a Japanese one, should be filed under Asian Animation.
374* Example from a Creator/StudioGhibli film with no manga that ought to be in the Animated Film section.
375* Example from a webcomic lacking an anime adaptation that should be listed in the Web Comic folder, but isn't because it is Japanese.
376* Examples from ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'' that reference tropes beyond the end point of the anime or are specifically about book-only scenes from portions that have been adapted.
377* Example from ''Anime/YuGiOh'' with gratuitous reference to "[[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries a children's card game]]".
378* Examples from ''Manga/{{Beastars}}'', ''Anime/{{Aggretsuko}}'', and ''Anime/BNABrandNewAnimal'', all of which were [[PopularWithFurries very obviously written by a troper who is a furry.]]
379* Eleventy billion examples from ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}''. At least half involve the various video games, card games, leading you to wonder why none of the examples have been split off into their own work pages yet.
380* Example from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', coupled with a link to MindScrew.
381* Example from ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' saying "Yeah, it's that kind of show.", due to its nature as a MagicalGirlGenreDeconstruction.
382* Obligatory ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' example saying that it parodied a specific trope.
383* Example from a filler episode of ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''.
384** Example from ''Naruto'' where [[spoiler:Hinata]]'s name is spoiled because apparently the fact that she marries Naruto at the end is enough to consider her a WalkingSpoiler, even though [[Manga/{{Boruto}} the existence of a sequel series]] makes it kinda useless.
385* Example from ''Anime/FoodWars''.
386* Example from ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei''. You have never heard of this anime before and wonder why it's everywhere. Might also provide the page image or quote.
387* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' examples.
388** Example talking about a character whose [[FightingSpirit Stand ability]] has the power to make this trope happen if certain conditions are met. You wonder how that power could be useful in any way, but the example then goes on to explain how [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower the Stand user goes on to kick massive amounts of ass]] with this ability... somehow.
389** Example that catches your eye due to the MusicalThemeNaming of the characters and Stands leading to it mentioning a band or song you like.
390** Example that refers to a character or Stand by their [[DubNameChange copyright-friendly localized name]].
391** Example claiming that [[WordOfGod Araki himself stated in an interview that this trope happened]]. GodNeverSaidThat, and this example is just based on a rumor that circulated around the fandom until it blindly became accepted as fact.
392** Example describing a really weird scene, reassuring you that ItMakesSenseInContext.
393** Example describing a really weird scene, ending on the note that it MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext.
394** Example from [[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureHeritageForTheFuture the Capcom fighting game]], which is misplaced here instead of the Video Games folder.
395** Example from one of the {{Light Novel}}s, most likely ''Literature/PurpleHazeFeedback'' or ''Literature/JorgeJoestar''; if it's the former, it'll be treated as if it were canon, and if it's the latter, it'll include a NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer due to how weird its plot is. Should be moved to the Literature folder.
396* 900 zillion examples from ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou''.
397* InUniverse example from ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar''.
398[[/folder]]
399
400[[folder:ARG]]
401* This folder doesn't exist unless the page is especially relevant to ''Franchise/{{Halo}}''. You probably don't even know what an ARG is.
402[[/folder]]
403
404[[folder:Art]]
405* An example from a really old painting which has its own page for some reason.
406[[/folder]]
407
408[[folder:Asian Animation]]
409* Examples from one or two obscure Asian cartoons that have never aired in Western countries and are only interesting to a few tropers. Most likely examples from ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'' (and by extension ''Animation/PleasantGoatFunClass''), ''Animation/HappyHeroes'', ''Animation/{{Lamput}}''[[note]]which got a page before its 2022 Creator/{{Max}} release in the United States[[/note]], ''Animation/MotuPatlu'', ''Animation/NoonboryAndTheSuper7''[[note]]though this one has aired in North America[[/note]], ''Animation/SimpleSamosa'', and/or ''Animation/BoBoiBoy'' (and ''Animation/{{Mechamato}}'', which has connections to it).
410* Semi-example from ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'' that no one's familiar with. The example probably involves one of Wolffy's evil plans.
411* An example that's supposed to go in the EasternEuropeanAnimation folder because the medium name confused That Troper.
412[[/folder]]
413
414[[folder:Audio Plays]]
415* Folder which consists solely of ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'' examples, since those are the only things in the AudioPlay namespace that anyone cares about. All of these examples are repeated in the Radio folder.
416[[/folder]]
417
418[[folder:Blogs]]
419* An example that could have gone under one of the Web folders and is probably repeated there.
420* [[Administrivia/AutoEroticTroping An example from this troper's blog, because they discussed this trope once.]]
421[[/folder]]
422
423[[folder:Board Games]]
424* A few examples from well-known games like ''TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}}'' and ''TabletopGame/{{Uno}}''. Other than that, there's not much in this folder because few tropers care about board games anyway.
425* A few examples that will be repeated in the Tabletop Games folder below. You get unsure about whether BoardGames and TabletopGames should get separate folders.
426[[/folder]]
427
428[[folder:Card Games]]
429* Example from ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' that will be repeated in the Tabletop Games folder.
430* Examples from the ''TabletopGame/{{Pokemon}}'' TCG, most of which were repeated from the yet-un-split Anime and Manga folder, leading you to wonder why none of the examples have been split off into their own work pages yet
431[[/folder]]
432
433[[folder:Comic Books]]
434!Since most people have only ever heard of {{Creator/DC|Comics}} and Creator/MarvelComics, they each get big, fancy headers.
435
436!!Franchise/TheDCU
437* Example about ComicBook/{{Batman}}.
438** Example about SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker, linking to his SelfDemonstratingArticle instead of ComicBook.TheJoker.
439* Example about ComicBook/{{Superman}}.
440* Example from a memetically bad comic such as ''ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder'', which quotes the meme in question even if it's irrelevant to the trope.
441-->'''Batman''': I'm the goddamn Batman!
442
443!!Franchise/MarvelUniverse
444* Example about ComicBook/SpiderMan.
445* Hey everyone! I'm SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}} and I'm bringing you this hilarious self-demonstrating example! Laugh! ''C'MON!'' '''''LAUGH!'''''
446* Example from the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse that should be moved to the Film folder.
447
448!!Other examples
449* Example about a super-obscure character that you've never heard of, but who somehow has a whole page about them.
450* Example from a comic book movie adaptation that should probably go under {{Film}} instead.
451** Actually, that example goes hand in hand with examples from [[WesternAnimation other]] [[VideoGames media]] based off the comic, so the examples from their own sections are rolled up with the ones from the comic.
452* Example from a {{Comic Strip|s}} incorrectly placed in the ComicBooks folder, which should instead be in the NewspaperComics folder.
453* Example from a comic that nobody even knew existed until Linkara reviewed it on ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall''.
454* Example from ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'' because no one wanted to make a "magazines" folder.
455* Example from ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics''.
456** Example from ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW'' that isn't supposed to be a sub-bullet.
457* Example from a [[FrancoBelgianComics Franco-Belgian Comic]] the [[{{Eagleland}} Eaglelanders]] reading this page [[PopCultureIsolation have never heard of]].
458* Example from another European comic (such as ''ComicBook/MortadeloYFilemon'') the Eaglelanders have also never heard of.
459* Example from a graphic novel that is jarringly offset by the large amount of Marvel/DC/Archie/etc. LongRunner examples in this folder.
460[[/folder]]
461
462[[folder:Eastern European Animation]]
463* Example that's supposed to go in the AsianAnimation folder because the medium name confused That Troper.
464* Example from a show with a foreign-language title.
465* Example from a Russian cartoon, usually ''Animation/NuPogodi'', ''Animation/MashaAndTheBear'', or ''Animation/KikoRiki''.
466* Once in a blue moon, example from a Czech or Hungarian cartoon such as ''Animation/PatAndMat'', or ''Animation/GypsyTales''. Once in a blue moon, it's something from Creator/PannoniaFilmStudio, or a Creator/JanSvankmajer work that should probably go in the Film -- Animation folder.
467[[/folder]]
468
469[[folder:Empty Folder That The Page Launcher Just Left There Instead Of Commenting It Out Or Something]]
470[[/folder]]
471
472[[folder:Once-Empty Folder That Someone Put a Shoehorned Example into to Give It A Purpose]]
473* Shoehorned example that probably isn't even from the right type of media.
474[[/folder]]
475
476[[folder:Fairy Tales]]
477* One or two examples from fairy tales that were adapted into Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon films. The entry notes how the original fairy tale differs from the Disney version.
478* Fanfiction example that was accidentally put here instead of the correct folder below.
479[[/folder]]
480
481[[folder:Fan Fiction (or Fan Works)]]
482* A "general example" stating that a character is frequently portrayed as this trope in fanfiction.
483* A whole bunch of examples from fanfics you've never heard of for works you have also never heard of, or works that you have heard of but haven't watched, or that you have watched but have no interest in reading a fanfic about. You probably skipped right over this folder.
484* [[{{Squick}} Disgusting example]] of [[Rule34 erotic content]] from a very [[NotSafeForWork NSFW]] piece of FanFiction, which has somehow not yet been nuked from TV Tropes.
485* FanFiction example of this trope, supposedly not one written by the editor writing this example.
486* Example from ''FanFic/MyImmortal'' with Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way that mocks the author's RougeAnglesOfSatin.
487* Semi-shoehorned example from ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries''.
488* A fanfic example that is either Administrivia/{{Red Link}}ed or not linked at all, and does not bother to tell you what series the fanfic is of.
489* Five ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' fanfic examples.
490** Example from ''FanFic/TheConversionBureau'' that mentions how controversial it and its RecursiveFanfiction are. There may be a pothole to DesignatedHero.
491* About a dozen ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' fanfic examples, with most of them being Shinji/Asuka {{Shipping}} fics.
492* Example from a fic that doesn't have a page and potholes the title to a relevant trope instead.
493* Example where the fic title links to the fic itself, even though it has a TV Tropes page.
494* Example from a fic that had its page deleted due to 5P objections.
495* Example from a {{Crossover}} SlashFic that you would much rather have not known about.
496* Example from an obscure fan fiction that was deleted way back in 2008 and doesn't seem to have ever been archived anywhere.
497* Example from a deleted fan fiction that wasn't archived anywhere, and only lives on in someone's {{MST}} of it.
498* Example from a CrackFic.
499* Example from a FanGame that is also listed in the VideoGames section.
500* Example from a fan fiction which seems innocent enough at a glance, but to more experienced readers it's clear that the author has a {{fetish}} for this trope.
501* Another example from a fetish fic, added by someone who doesn't have the fetish and was too innocent to realize that they were basically reading porn. The story is described as NightmareFuel and/or {{Squick}} even though it was meant to be erotic, and is well-received by people who are into whatever the fic is about.
502* Example that is written in a gushy way and tries to convince the reader to check out the story. Looking at the page history reveals that the editor who added this example has the same username as the fan fiction's author.
503* Example from ''Fanfic/{{Origins}}'', a ''Franchise/MassEffect''[=/=]''Franchise/StarWars''[[spoiler:[=/=]''VideoGame/Borderlands2''[=/=]''[=Halo=]'']] MassiveMultiplayerCrossover that, as with every single one of the 600+ mentions it has on this wiki, always uses the exact same wording to explain that it's a ''Franchise/MassEffect''[=/=]''Franchise/StarWars''[[spoiler:[=/=]''VideoGame/Borderlands2''[=/=]''[=Halo=]'']] MassiveMultiplayerCrossover. By the way, have we mentioned already that the fic is a ''Franchise/MassEffect''[=/=]''Franchise/StarWars''[[spoiler:[=/=]''VideoGame/Borderlands2''[=/=]''[=Halo=]'']] MassiveMultiplayerCrossover?
504* Example from a fanfic that completely revolves around this trope, written in an oddly precise and clinical tone that gives unmistakable "the editor that added this example really ''wants'' to gush about this fanfic but is carefully avoiding it" vibes. Sure enough, you check the edit history and it was added by the fic's author.
505* Example declaring that this trope is incredibly common in fanfics of ''[[JustForFun/WorkName Some Work]]'', [[Administrivia/ExamplesAreNotGeneral which seems to mean they shouldn't specify any fanfic in particular]].
506* Example from a Creator/HansVonHozel fic gratuitously quoting his {{Engrish}}.
507-->''One day, [character] do [something].\
508Suddenly, X danube over thing!''
509* Example about an obscure fanfiction, written by the author's close friend so it's not ''technically'' auto-erotic troping.
510* If it's a tightly-regulated trope like CompleteMonster or MagnificentBastard: an example from a ''VideoGame/HeartsOfIronIV'' GameMod that would normally be put under the Video Games folder had it not been put here by the moderators.
511* Around a dozen or so ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' [[RevengeFic salt fics]] that all seem to be mostly-identical stories complaining about ''Chameleon''. The rest of the series will never be represented and it will appear to those who have not seen the series that ''Chameleon'' is the only episode anyone watched.
512* Example from an oddly complex ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' fanfic that is either a FixFic of "No Such Luck" or an incest harem fic that will probably be cut by 5P.
513* An example from a very long and involved fanfiction, which is such a deviation from its original genre and full of {{Original Character}}s, you genuinely can't guess the fandom from the example until you click on the fic's page. Bonus points if it's a work you never expected to have such elaborate fanfics.
514[[/folder]]
515
516[[folder:Films — Animated]]
517* Obligatory Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon and/or {{Creator/Pixar}} examples:
518** All lumped under their own bullet point.
519** Example from ''WesternAnimation/Movie'', with a broken link because This Troper forgot that one-word titles aren't Administrivia/{{Wiki Word}}s.
520** Example from a Disney sequel.
521*** Administrivia/{{Natter}} about the canonicity of Disney sequels.
522** Example that uses the deprecated Disney/ namespace.
523** In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', (insert extremely minor detail here).
524* Example from ''Obscure Children's Film''. Only added because someone watched ''WebVideo/{{Bobsheaux}}''.
525* Stray Disney Animated Canon example that missed the bullet point.
526* Example exclusive to a live-action adaptation of a Disney Animated Canon film.
527* Legitimate example from ''WesternAnimation/SausageParty'', which was removed because This Troper really hates that film.
528* A ''very'' thinly-veiled jab at ''WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie'', usually criticizing its BrokenAesop of a message.
529* Example from an anime film that is also listed under the Anime & Manga folder.
530[[/folder]]
531
532[[folder:Films — Live-Action]]
533* Example from the original version of a classic horror film, written in such a way as to instantly differentiate itself from the poorly-received {{remake}} or myriad [[{{Sequelitis}} disappointing sequels]].
534* Example that describes how the trope is PlayedStraight and [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in ''Film/LastActionHero''.
535** Subexample that describes how the trope is deliberately [[AvertedTrope averted]] in the RealLife section of the film.
536* Carefully formatted ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' example with numerous sub-bullets that someone is insistent on keeping in release order
537** ''Film/IronMan2'' example
538** ''Film/TheAvengers2012'' example
539** Alphabetized ''Film/{{Black Widow|2021}}'' example

544** ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' example
545** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'' example

558** ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' example, with potholes to the ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' and ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries''
559*** Second example that blatantly spoils [[spoiler:Creator/TobeyMaguire and Creator/AndrewGarfield's appearances]].
560* Example that declares a medium which isn't even a movie "Trope Name: TheMovie".
561* Irrelevant example included so the author can complain about ''Film/Alien3'' and ''Film/AlienResurrection''.
562** [[FanonDiscontinuity What are you talking about, they never made those movies.]]
563* Example from a movie that was obscure until someone on Website/ChannelAwesome or another popular web review series reviewed it. Replete with a negative quote from said reviewer, even if it is immaterial to the trope.

565* A bunch of ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' examples.
566* An example from a live-action anime adaptation, which is already listed under that folder.
567* An example from a ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' or ''Franchise/KamenRider'' movie which is already mentioned under that season's entry in the Live-Action TV folder.

569* An example from a troper who ''does'' remember the characters' names, but links them to their actors' names.
570* An example from a film that was remade multiple times that forgets to include the disambiguated year.
571* An example from ''Film/PlanB'', leading the reader to wonder as to why an obscure, low-budget Argentinean film released a decade ago is on so many pages.
572* An example from a movie featured on ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''. The entry will mention that the movie was featured on the show as if that's the only legitimate way the editor could have seen it. The trope's usage will have been pointed out by one of the show's characters and the entry will quote or paraphrase the line that points out the usage.
573-->'''[=MST3K Character=]:''' The line that points out the trope's usage. May not be Pot Holed.
574* An "in-universe" example from a documentary. It's our universe. Whoa.
575* Example from ''Film/{{Zoolander}}'' which mentions Hansel. [[note]] Footnote saying "He's so hot right now." [[/note]]

578
579[[folder:Franchises]]
580* A grab-bag of stuff also listed in other folders because no one knows what belongs here.
581[[/folder]]
582
583[[folder:Jokes]]
584* Example that spoilers the punchline of [[spoiler:a well-known joke.]]
585* A long joke where the trope is tangentially relevant at best.
586* A {{Feghoot}} that may or may not be relevant because nobody wants to read the whole damn thing to check.
587* A joke whose punchline is made obvious by its presence on this page.
588* A rewording of another joke on this page.
589* A quote from a comedian that should go in the Stand-Up Comedy folder.
590* Example consisting of something like "a joke about [[StockJokes three guys who walk into a bar]] involves this trope". No further details are given.
591* Foreign joke that relies on a {{pun}} that gets LostInTranslation. Requires a full paragraph of explanation, and probably isn't even that funny.
592* Offensive joke. May have started an Administrivia/EditWar on this page and/or a FlameWar on the discussion page.
593* Short joke that you won't get [[ViewersAreGeniuses unless you understand advanced physics or something]]. [[note]]An explanation three times as long as the joke itself. Will probably either leave you confused or realize the joke wasn't that funny anyway.[[/note]]
594* Joke portraying a random politician (who could easily be interchanged with some other politician) as a complete moron.
595** Pointless bullet point that only says the joke sometimes features a different politician.
596[[/folder]]
597
598[[folder:LARP]]
599* An example from a troper's personal LARP session, which is impossible for anyone else to verify. You might not even know what a LARP is.
600[[/folder]]
601
602[[folder:Light Novels]]
603* Examples from an anime based on a LightNovel series, which are all listed in the Anime and Manga folder too. The reason for this being a separate folder is unclear.
604[[/folder]]
605
606[[folder:Literature]]
607* ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' example that potholes [[BloodKnight Rachel]]'s name to BloodKnight and gushes about K. A. Applegate's letter.
608* ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'' example that makes you think about how you constantly see this book mentioned on TV Tropes despite never having heard of it in any other context.
609* A bunch of ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' examples.
610** Example of LampshadeHanging, {{subver|tedTrope}}sion, and/or {{deconstruction}} from a Discworld book.
611** Example of exactly the same gag [[IfItWasFunnyTheFirstTime reused in a different Discworld book]].
612** Example from another Discworld book that has more to actually do with this trope than above example does.
613** Example from yet another Discworld book that has more to do with one of the previous Discworld examples than it actually does this trope.
614** Example that uses the depreciated Discworld/ namespace.
615** Example that uses special formatting to mention [[AC:Death]] or quote his lines, even though that markup breaks up lines.
616* Example from ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' gushing about Harry.
617* Shoehorned example from ''Literature/HarryPotter''.
618* Example from Tropers/PaulRobinson claiming that the trope is represented in his non-existent novel ''Literature/InstrumentOfGod''.
619-->Two-kilobyte block of text alleged to be a quote from ''Literature/InstrumentOfGod'' which doesn't really seem to have any particular relevance to the trope, or, really, anything else for that matter.
620** Natter in which a troper complains that Paul Robinson should be banned and the example removed! ...which is now outdated because it [[HilariousInHindsight was eventually published]].
621* Obligatory ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'' example, noting how it was either 'done badly', or 'particularly glaring'.
622** Remark that it becomes even worse if you consider the UnfortunateImplications this carries.
623* Example in which the contributor wrote "[=TitleOfBook=]" rather than "[=Literature/TitleOfBook=]", thereby creating a redlink.
624* Example from ''Literature/TheBible'' which, despite that page being under the Literature namespace, should go under the Mythology & Religion folder instead. It also wrongly italicizes the work's name because every other book has its title italicized.
625* Example that claims to be from ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' but is actually from ''Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus'' but the person writing this didn't care.
626* Several examples from {{Light Novel}}s that are also listed in the anime folder above. Some of the examples refer to details specific to the anime adaptation.
627* Example from a WebSerialNovel (probably ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' or ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'') that is also listed in the Web Original folder.
628* Pretty much any children's book series, especially ones written in Commonwealth countries. Bonus points if it's about the Troper's hidden obsession with bodily functions and {{Sick Episode}}s.
629* Example reassuring readers that of course ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' is an example, because it's basically ''Literature/HoratioHornblower'' [[AC:[[JustForFun/RecycledInSpace IN SPACE!]]]].
630[[/folder]]
631
632[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
633* Example from ''Series/GameOfThrones'' at the top because it's the best show ever.
634** Bullet point talking about how it was different in the books, which should be under the Literature folder.
635** Thinly-veiled complaint about Season 8, which is left on because nobody can bring themself to disagree.
636* Example from ''RedlinkedShowOfWhichYouHaveHeard''.
637* Example from ''[[{{pleasedonotuse}} Redlinked Show You Have Never Heard Of]]'', but the title of which prompts you to look it up on Google or Website/TheOtherWiki.
638* Example from ''[[{{pleasedonotuse}} Redlinked Show You Have Never Heard Of]]'', but the fact it has an interesting [[PlayingWithATrope take on the trope]] prompts you to look it up on Google or Website/TheOtherWiki.
639* Example from ''[[{{pleasedonotuse}} Redlinked Show You Have Never Heard Of]]'' or ''[[{{Series}} Show With An Actual Page Which You Have Never Heard Of]]'' which you investigate in curiosity that turns out to be DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible, [[DarkerAndEdgier Grimdark]], or worst of all has certain niche [[BloodyHilarious themes]] that for most people are just plain [[{{Squick}} disturbing]].
640* Example involving a ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' sketch.
641** Natter referential joke!
642*** Obscure joke reference!
643** More joke references.
644* Obligatory ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' reference.
645* Obligatory example from a ''Franchise/StarTrek'' series, correctly placed in the "Live-Action TV" folder where it belongs.
646** Ten
647** more
648** examples
649** from
650** totally
651** different
652** ''Franchise/StarTrek''
653** works
654** most of which should be in a different folder
655** And a final example added by an anally-retentive Troper so that the "Ten" above will be correct.
656* Obligatory ''Series/DoctorWho'' example.
657** Additional ''Doctor Who'' example which refers to the incarnation by number. The number links to TheNthDoctor even though that has nothing to do with this trope.
658* Example from a ''Doctor Who'' spin-off series that was added directly under the ''Doctor Who'' examples but isn't bulleted with them because the person who added it wasn't sure and decided to split the difference.
659* "Obligatory" example from ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''.
660* Example from an episode of a TV show which just aired, even though there is already an entry for the same series up above.
661* The same example from an episode of a TV show which just aired, even though there are already an entry for the same seres up above AND the new exmaple already exits if the editor were to move his eyeballs by three inches. [[spoiler: Usually full of spoiler tags and ]]spelling erors because [[spoiler: the editor was trying to be the first person to post the example]].
662* Example from a movie adaptation of a TV show that should be in the Film section.
663* Example from [[{{Donotuse}} Obscure Show Which Had A Page]] that was lost in Archive/TheGreatCrash which Google and Wikipedia have no listings of, or the Wikipedia listing is under the author's name.
664* Strange example from ''Well-Known and Highly-Praised Series'' that is a triple... no, quadruple... [[ZigZaggingTrope wait, no. A quintuple subversion]].
665* Example that [[Series/DoctorWho potholes the series name]] so it can't be searched for on the page and will be repeated further down at some point.
666* Far-reaching example from This Troper's favorite JustForFun/TropeOverdosed series. It's not really relevant, but you'll leave it because someone else will just add it again.
667* Example discussing how ''Show With a Large PeripheryHatedom'' does this trope badly. Probably already on the page, but This Troper really hates this thing.
668* ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' example that wasn't sorted into the main MCU header.
669* Example of this trope being tested on ''Series/MythBusters''.
670* Shoehorned example from a GameShow.
671* Even more blatantly shoehorned example from an obscure and likely terrible GameShow which only has a TV Tropes page because it was featured on Website/GameShowGarbage.
672* Example from yet another GameShow, this time from a show that was [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes largely wiped]] and only has three episodes known to circulate.
673* A very lengthy example, which goes into detail about the show's history and cast, discussing that the show uses this trope to set up some chain of events or another and that it was contractually obligated for reasons unknown, but never actually coming out and saying just ''what the example actually is'', thus making it a rather odd variation on a Administrivia/ZeroContextExample.
674* Another collection of chronologically-sorted ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' entries.
675** Example from a Netflix series, probably ''Series/Daredevil2015''.
676** Line separating the Disney+ shows from the Netflix shows.
677*** ''Series/WandaVision'' example that's different from the example above.
678*** ''WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021'' example that should be under Western Animation.
679*** ''Series/MoonKnight2022'' example that spoils out [[spoiler:Jake Lockley]] regardless of how he's mentioned.
680* Example which inexplicably links to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_I_Met_Your_Mother the show's Wikipedia page]] instead of its TV Tropes page.
681* Example from a foreign series that nobody outside its origin country cares about.
682* Example from a {{Toku}} series such as ''Franchise/KamenRider'' or ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' that seems obscure to the tropers who don't care about them and may have never heard of them.
683* Example from ''Series/TheNoddyShop'' that gushes about Johnny Crawfish.
684* Example from ''Series/DonkeyHodie'' that mentions Donkey's "tired eyes" or the "Dancing Under the Golden Rainbow" song.
685[[/folder]]
686
687[[folder:Machinima]]
688* A folder dedicated to ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' examples, which are all repeated in the Web Animation, Web Video, or Web Original folders, and perhaps in all of them.
689[[/folder]]
690
691[[folder:Magazines]]
692* Yet another example from ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'' because someone finally made a "Magazines" folder. However, the examples that were previously shoehorned into "Comic Books" were never moved here.
693** A bunch of examples from ''ComicStrip/SpyVsSpy'', which is published in ''MAD'' but actually in the [=ComicStrip=] namespace.
694* Example from ''Magazine/NintendoPower''.
695** Examples that are actually from various games, but were referenced in ''Nintendo Power''.
696* Example from some foreign magazine that only had 100 subscribers.
697* Example from ''Magazine/AutoTrader''.
698* An example from ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'', which is also listed in Live-Action TV under the ''Doctor Who'' entry.
699[[/folder]]
700
701[[folder:Manhua]]
702* One or two works you've never heard of and have absolutely no interest in. There's a good chance that you don't even know what a {{manhua}} is.
703* Work that used to be the Anime & Manga folder, but was sorted here when somebody finally made a Manhua folder.
704[[/folder]]
705
706[[folder:Manhwa]]
707* One or two works you've never heard of and have absolutely no interest in. There's a good chance that you don't even know what a {{manhwa}} is, or what the difference between this and Manhua is.
708* Work that used to be the Anime & Manga folder, but was sorted here when somebody finally made a Manhwa folder.
709* Work that would fit under the {{Webcomic}} folder (probably ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod''), but the Troper who added it wasn't sure since it was Korean in origin.
710[[/folder]]
711
712[[AC:Medium header in smallcaps that the editor who folderized the page accidentally missed]]
713* Random example added outside the folder structure by someone who either doesn't understand the formatting or who is too lazy to check.
714
715[[folder:Music]]
716* Inevitable music example from an artist you either hate or have never heard of.
717* Another Music/RedHousePainters example posted by Tonagamu... and you don't care because you haven't heard of Red House Painters.
718** Tonagamu adding on the example even though he probably could have just added it to the main paragraph.
719* Rare musical example. Not to be confused with the dozen other musical examples.
720* Example from a Music/WeirdAlYankovic song.
721* Example from a Music/TheyMightBeGiants song.
722* Example that puts an album title in "quotes" instead of ''italicizing'' it.
723* Example that ''italicizes'' a song title instead of putting it in "double quotes".
724* Example that puts a song title in 'single quotes' instead of "double quotes".
725* Example that doesn't even try to format the song title at all.
726* Example that italicizes the ''musician's name'' for no reason.
727* Example from a SelfTitledAlbum with the album title potholed to SelfTitledAlbum. A link to the artist page is nowhere to be found.
728* Example that mentions a generic song title and contains no information about the artist.
729* Example that misattributes a song to an artist who merely [[CoveredUp covered it]], or worse, [[MisattributedSong has nothing to do with it whatsoever]].
730* Example consisting of a line from a song, and nothing else.
731* Example from a song that This Troper heard on the radio once, but didn't remember the song or artist, and didn't even get the lyrics right so no one can figure out what song it actually is.
732* Example from JapanesePopMusic. Probably added by someone who doesn't even know Japanese.
733* Example from a song whose lyrics are entirely in GratuitousEnglish. May require a specific interpretation of what the lyricist was trying to say.
734* Example from a foreign song.
735--> ''Unødvendig sitering av teksten''\
736Unnecessary quotation of the lyrics\
737''Som tar opp mye plass fordi den må oversettes''\
738That takes up a lot of space because it has to be translated
739* Example from a video game soundtrack that will be repeated in the Video Games folder.
740* Example from a DeadHorseGenre, complete with random Administrivia/{{complaining|AboutShowsYouDontLike}}.
741* Example that only exists as a TakeThat against an artist with a huge {{hatedom}}, such as Music/{{Nickelback}}.
742* Example from a notorious EarWorm that'll probably get stuck in your head after this example reminds you of it.
743* Example that only works if you interpret a song with cryptic lyrics in a specific way.
744* Music/{{Vocaloid}} example
745** Example from another Vocaloid song by a completely different artist, in a completely different genre, using a different Vocaloid, but that's still lumped in with the other example because both songs were made using a similar tool.
746** Example from ''VideoGame/HatsuneMikuProjectDIVA'' that should probably be in the Video Games folder.
747* Example about an artist's personal life.
748* Example that references a ''WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows'' review and should probably be under Web Video since it's more about his review than the actual song.
749* Enormous WallOfText example packed with small, irrelevant details about the history of the album/musician, with at least one quote from those involved with production. Possibly also includes complaining.
750* Largely ordinary and acceptable example...
751-->[[Administrivia/AllBlueEntry A stanza from the song]]\
752[[Administrivia/{{Sinkhole}} With each line potholed to a trope]]\
753[[Administrivia/SquarePegRoundTrope Vaguely connected to that line]]\
754[[Administrivia/SpeculativeTroping No matter how far you have to stretch to get there]]\
755[[Creator/MarkHamill And nobody is going to check all the wicks anyway]]
756* Example that just lists the song's name and artist without explaining how it fits the trope.
757* Example about the music video for "Music/{{Miserable}}" by Music/{{Lit}}, which insists that the band members being EatenAlive by [[spoiler: [[EvilAllAlong the]] GiantWoman]] is a metaphor for this trope. The way it's written makes you think someone just has a certain fetish.
758[[/folder]]
759
760[[folder:Mythology & Religion]]
761* Surprise trope example from mythology, indicating that this trope is OlderThanDirt.
762* Example from Literature/TheBible, possibly spoilering [[spoiler:the fact that Jesus dies]].
763** Controversial biblical example that assumes the reader shares This Troper's beliefs about the true/false status about The Bible. Has probably caused several Administrivia/{{Edit War}}s.
764*** Tacked-on bullet point listing alternative interpretations of the example according to biblical scholars, with a link to Website/TheOtherWiki.
765[[/folder]]
766
767[[folder:Newspaper Comics]]
768* Example from ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes''.
769* Example from ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}''.
770** Example of the strip's original trope being played with in ''Webcomic/SquareRootOfMinusGarfield'', which should be listed under the Webcomics tab.
771* Example from ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot'', most likely involving a LampshadeHanging, LeaningOnTheFourthWall, and/or nerdy pop culture reference.
772* Example from ''ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}}''.
773* Example from ''ComicStrip/PearlsBeforeSwine'' that involves a LamePunReaction.
774* Example from ''ComicStrip/ForBetterOrForWorse'' which complains about how Elizabeth ends up with Anthony.
775[[/folder]]
776
777[[folder:Other Sites]]
778* ''Website/SCPFoundation'' examples that are put in an "Other Sites" folder by itself for some reason, instead of the more fitting Web Original folder below.
779** An example linking to an [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/ SCP wiki page]], describing an SCP entity that is NightmareFuel but is not labelled as such here. But that's okay, you didn't need to sleep tonight, right?
780** Example that [[Characters/SCPFoundation potholes to one of the SCP Foundation character pages]] for some reason, even though no other work ever potholes to its character subpages on the main wiki.
781** Example from an SCP that has long been deleted because it was a [[HerCodeNameWasMarySue low-quality self-insert]].
782** Example about that time when they tried to use this trope to kill [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-682 SCP-682]] (an [[NighInvulnerable immortal]] monster) and it totally backfired.
783** Example about how [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/random:random-scp an SCP you've never heard of]] is an example. [[Administrivia/WeblinksAreNotExamples Doesn't bother to explain]] ''what'' said SCP is or why it qualifies.
784[[/folder]]
785
786[[folder:Pinball]]
787* A dozen examples from pinball franchises based on existing franchises, making you wonder how a freaking pinball machine can even have tropes in it in the first place.
788[[/folder]]
789
790[[folder:Podcasts]]
791* An example that could probably go under Radio or one of the Web folders, and may already be listed there.
792[[/folder]]
793
794[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
795* A billion professional wrestling examples that you skip over because you don't watch wrestling.
796[[/folder]]
797
798[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
799* An example, most likely from ''Series/SesameStreet'', that is redundantly given its own folder even though it's already in the Live-Action TV folder.
800* An example from Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice.
801[[/folder]]
802
803[[folder:Radio]]
804* Example from ''Radio/AdventuresInOdyssey'' that discusses how the radio drama used this trope without sacrificing its Christian values, or complaining about how inaccurately it depicted ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''.
805* One or two examples from other radio shows, perhaps from Creator/{{NPR}} or the ''Franchise/{{Whoniverse}}''.
806* An example from a podcast that should go in the Web Original folder.
807* Example from an AudioPlay or drama CD (likely related to an anime) that should go in its own folder.
808[[/folder]]
809
810[[folder:Redundant Truth in Television Folder That Wasn't Removed When The Real Life One Got Added]]
811* Redundant example that can also be found in the Real Life folder.
812* Anecdote from This Troper's personal life, which was put here after being removed from the Real Life folder.
813* Controversial example.
814[[/folder]]
815
816[[folder: Ride]]
817* A folder consisting solely of Ride/DisneyThemeParks examples. You wonder how theme parks can even have tropes.
818[[/folder]]
819
820[[folder:Roleplay]]
821* Countless examples from roleplay forums that nobody except the RP participants care about, including some that are private, meaning there's no way to check if the trope actually happened.
822* Examples where the roleplayers also happen to be tropers, that potholes character names to the troper page of the people playing them.
823* Example from a TV Tropes forum game like ''Roleplay/WeAreAllPokemonTrainers''. Maybe it's accurate, maybe it isn't, you aren't going to dig through 22000 pages to check.
824[[/folder]]
825
826[[folder:Sports]]
827* Example full of complicated sports jargon that makes no sense unless you're thoroughly familiar with the sport in question.
828* Example from an athlete's personal life.
829[[/folder]]
830

834* Example from Creator/JerrySeinfeld.
835** Sub-examples that are actually from ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}''.
836* Example from a comedian who was popular at the time of the entry being added, but has faded into obscurity.
837[[/folder]]
838
839[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
840* Example from ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' (be sure to put this one on top), with shoehorned reminder of that game's BlackAndGrayMorality and/or CrapsackWorld, probably describing the Imperium at length, and ending with "And they're the ''good'' guys." Mentions of the Imperium may be potholed to DesignatedHero as though it were an objective trope.
841** Elaboration on one of the previous points that is way too long and ends up ignoring the Administrivia/RepairDontRespond rule.
842** Fifteen-year-old example referring to a rule that only existed in older editions of the game, with no indication that it was removed from modern versions.
843** Another old example that includes a vague comment about the direction the game seemed to be going in [[Administrivia/ExamplesAreNotRecent at the time the example was written, with no indication of when that actually was]].
844* Mention that the aforementioned ''Warhammer 40,000'' example also exists in ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}''.
845* Conspicuous lack of an example from ''TabletopGame/WarhammerAgeOfSigmar'', despite it using this trope just as much if not moreso than ''Warhammer Fantasy''.
846* Examples from ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'':
847** Example with a [[http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name=bottomless%20pit broken link]] to an old version of the card database.
848** Example that was repeated in the Card Games folder
849** Example of a hypothetical scenario that could arise if one performed an elaborate combo with no interference from the other players.
850* Example from ''TabletopGame/{{Paranoia}}'', described in a perfectly normal manner from the perspective of the real world.
851** In-character complaint about security levels, happiness, and treason. Request that the above person report to an execution chamber. Obligatory "Have a Nice Daycycle!"
852* Example from ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' that would never happen in an actual game but [[{{Munchkin}} is totally possible under rules-as-written]].
853** Example detailing that one time Administrivia/ThisTroper was Dungeon Master and made the trope happen and his friends totally found it hilarious and this absolutely doesn't count as TroperTales even though the trope itself doesn't happen in any official material.
854** Example referring to a rule that only existed in older editions of the game, with no indication that it doesn't exist in modern versions.
855** Examples from ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' that were stapled to the above instead of being given their own listing.
856* Example from the ''Xyz World Of Nameness'' sub-game ''Noun: The Verbening'' which is written without bias, but the nature of the settings make it clear how much it is {{Squick}} or NightmareFuel.
857* Example from the ''Old World Of Nameness'' sub-game ''Verbling: The Nouning'' which is noticeably lighter than every other example and strongly contrasts with the example from the later ''Verbling: The Squick''.
858* One example each from the remaining sub-games of the two ''Xyz World of Darkness'' settings. All of them either make you wonder why anyone would play it, or feels normal and cause you to wonder why anyone would play something boringly safe.
859* IE[[note]]Incomprehensible Example[[/note]] that's only understandable to [=HPoTG=][[note]]Hardcore Players of This Game[[/note]] due to its unnecessary [=AaAO=] [[note]]AcronymAndAbbreviationOverload[[/note]].
860* IE that's ''still'' incomprehensible to non-players after all the [=AaAO=] has been fixed.
861* Example from ''TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}}''. It's only valid if you play with a {{House Rule|s}}, and does not mention this house rule in any way.
862* Example from ''TabletopGame/{{Scrabble}}'' that would only ever come up in tournament play, and is very likely to be encountered by any troper in RealLife.
863* Shoehorned TabletopGame/{{chess}} example added because This Troper believes SmartPeoplePlayChess.
864* Example from ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' that refers to one of the several new mechanics that have been added since you last played that game in second grade.
865** Example from the ''Anime/YuGiOh'' anime.
866[[/folder]]
867
868[[folder:Theater (or Theatre)]]
869* Example from a Creator/WilliamShakespeare play which prompts JustForFun/TheZerothLawOfTropeExamples to be mentioned.
870** Mention of said law. AccidentlyRedlinkedByMispelling.
871* Example from ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}''.
872* Example from ''Hottest New Broadway Musical'' that becomes irrelevant once the next one makes its debut.
873* Example from ''Theater/SomePlay'' that appears as a redlink because the Theatre namespace is spelled wrong.
874* Example from a "classic" musical, probably by Creator/RodgersAndHammerstein.
875* Example from ''Theatre/AvenueQ''.
876* Example from a Creator/GilbertAndSullivan opera, accompanied by explanation of complex wordplay or Victorian sociopolitical context needed to make sense of it:
877--> Whole
878--> stanza
879--> from a
880--> Gilbert and Sullivan
881--> song
882[[/folder]]
883
884[[folder:Toys]]
885* A couple examples from ''Toys/{{BIONICLE}}'', including examples from media besides the toys themselves.
886* Example from ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' which starts off talking about the toys, but quickly becomes more about the show.
887* Example from ''Toys/{{Tamagotchi}}''.
888* Examples from ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' that are actually about the cartoons and/or the film series.
889* A few more examples. You wonder how toys can even have tropes.
890[[/folder]]
891
892[[folder:Video Games]]
893* In a video game-only trope, someone forgetting to mark "[=MMORPGs=]" as a non-Administrivia/WikiWord in the folder names.
894* [[Administrivia/ExamplesAreNotGeneral General example]] asserting that this trope could hypothetically be the motivation for a common player action in many video games.
895* Example from ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyJusticeForAll'' that should go in the VisualNovel folder.
896** [[spoiler:Spoiler from ''Apollo Justice'' because you should have known better than to read a completely spoilered out sentence yet you read it anyway because it was fairly long and you thought it was going to be about the subject at hand and not an example from a different game that might have been an useless spoiler to mention to begin with, which prompts you to immediately scroll down after reading the first line in order to forget about the spoiler. Also, while we're at it, spoiler from ''Dual Destinies''.]]
897** [[spoiler:Spoiler from ''Spirit of Justice''.]]
898*** [[spoiler:Spoiler from ''Spirit of Justice'''s DLC case that you hadn't played yet, but were planning to once you got the money for it.]]
899** [[spoiler:Spoiler from ''Dai Gyakuten Saiban'' that you were trying to avoid in case the game gets translated at some point in the future--[[VisualNovel/TheGreatAceAttorney which it did]], but the example didn't change to reflect that.]]
900* Example from a ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' game that may be repeated in the Visual Novel folder.
901* A collection of examples from Creator/{{Bioware}} {{R|olePlayingGame}}PGs, lumped together by a troper believing [[StrictlyFormula you need a microscope to see the differences between them]].
902** Example referencing a "funny" party conversation you never came upon even after replaying the game thrice.
903** Example talking about an event that only happens if you consistently choose the most dickish character options available.
904** ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' example spoiling TheReveal so casually you'd think it was written in the game's official description.
905* Example from an obscure [[HGame eroge]] that either may never have a page, or have one that gets cut by 5P later on.
906* An example from ''Franchise/MassEffect'' that is likely to be separate from other Bioware games.
907** An example of how it was subverted in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' that really should be a different trope altogether, with bad Administrivia/{{Example Indentation|InTropeLists}} on top.
908** An example that mentions that the trope is used in both ''Mass Effect'' games which nobody bothered to correct after ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' came out.
909** An example that was corrected to "all three ''Mass Effect'' games"... right when ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda'' came out.
910*** Obligatory example making fun of ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda''.
911** Example gushing about the use of "hard" science in the series, even though it's mostly limited to codex entries.
912* Obligatory ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' example
913** Example from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' using a quote specific to the DS remake with a link to UpdatedRerelease or SuperTitle64Advance.
914** Example from a ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' ROMHack that is grouped with the official games. The wording doesn't mention it's a ROMHack, so an uninformed reader might think it's from an official Nintendo-made product.
915** ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' example that either is specifically about ''[[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor The Thousand-Year Door]]'' or generalizes tropes that do not appear in games beyond ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario''.
916** Surprise ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'' example, along with link to DolledUpInstallment and mention of its connection to ''VideoGame/DokiDokiPanic''.
917** Every single game in the ''Mario'' franchise being put under a single ''Franchise.SuperMarioBros'' bullet, making it practically impossible to organize or read.
918* Video game example which contains a [[UrbanLegendOfZelda disputed]] piece of information.
919** You're wrong.
920*** No, ''you're'' wrong!
921*** NoYou
922* Ancient, seemingly incorrect example from ''JustForFun/TropeOverdosed: The VideoGame'' that mentions how this trope was used in a feature that was patched out by a later update.
923* VideoGame example that asserts that part of the game is hard, for any reason.
924** Seven paragraphs of Administrivia/WalkthroughMode to justify a rebuttal of "actually it's super easy if you know what you're doing".
925* Example from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', probably involving Sans.
926** Example about an extremely minor character from ''Undertale'' that only appears very briefly in one area, only has a single line of dialogue, and has probably been forgotten by all but the most hardcore fans.
927** Example that [[spoiler:hides several plot twists from the first 15 minutes of the game that barely count as spoilers anymore unless you want to do a 100% blind run]], such as that [[spoiler:Flowey is evil]] or that [[spoiler: there's a boss battle against Toriel where you might (and probably will) accidentally kill her]].
928** Example that casually discusses plot twists from late in non-neutral runs, without using spoiler markup. [[FanMyopia After all, the game is only a few hours long and has been played by everyone already]].
929* That example from a ''Franchise/StarTrek'' video game that you've already seen because it was one of the ten million sub-bullets on an example in the "Live-Action TV" folder.
930* Example from a ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' game
931** Tangentially related examples from others game in the series
932** Examples from ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' that deserve their own bullet point.
933* Example from ''[[MassivelyMultiplayerOnline Game World Online]]'' which is now dead and cannot be confirmed either way because it was impossible to KeepCirculatingTheTapes.
934* Example from a Valve game series that predated Steam. Complaint edited in at a later date that a cliffhanger caused by the example will never be resolved because the game series is in DevelopmentHell.
935** Obligatory dated joke about how [[MemeticMutation Valve can't count to three]].
936** Obligatory in-joke or meme from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' or ''{{VideoGame/Portal}}''.
937* Example from ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' which any long-time player knows is still true but is only widely known to said long-time players, making it hard to confirm without pouring over huge amounts of lore.
938** Example from ''VideoGame/WarcraftIII'' that's a sub-bullet even though [[MorePopularSpinoff this game came first]].
939* Example from ''[[VideoGame The Franchise of Video Game: Latest Installment]]'' which will be irrelevant the second the next one is revealed at E3.
940* Example from one or more of the following indie games, so as to break up the use of AAA titles (preferably crowdfunded rather than published by a third party or to sites such as Website/{{Newgrounds}}, which apparently doesn't count it as indie anymore):
941** ''VideoGame/{{Limbo}}''.
942** ''VideoGame/{{Braid}}''.
943** ''VideoGame/NoTimeToExplain''.
944** ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac''.
945** ''VideoGame/{{Fez}}''.
946** ''VideoGame/FlappyBird''.
947** ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys''.
948** ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}''.
949*** As the games listed have highly vocal fanbases, examples may add natter related to said fanbase (highlighted as FanDumb or HateDumb depending on popular reception of the game and/or fanbase).
950* Disparaging remark about ''Indie Game'' under the pretense that its creators were either inherrently amateurs or frauds depending on the quality of the final product, with the example focusing on behind-the-scenes drama (if there was any) rather than content from the game itself.
951* Should any of the above indie games experience HypeBacklash, ''Indie Video Game Hit of [CURRENT YEAR +1]'' or ''Indie Video Game of [CURRENT YEAR -[x]]'' will be added as a "better" (read: newer/comparitively unhyped) example.
952* Example from a VisualNovel that was placed in the Video Games folder instead, probably because there wasn't a separate folder.
953* Example from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty'' with an obligatory {{Pot Hole}}d reference to either GainaxEnding or MindScrew.
954** Angry Administrivia/JustifyingEdit claiming the trope was {{Justified|trope}} or {{Deconstructed|trope}} in this instance, added because This Troper does not realize that Administrivia/TropesAreTools.
955** [[spoiler: Poorly marked spoiler, which you will assume is for [=MGS2=]'s ending, but in fact spoils [=MGS4=].]]
956* Shoehorned ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' example added as an excuse to reference old memes.
957* Example describing how ''SnarkBait: The Game'' supposedly uses this trope badly, and attempts to justify Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike by quoting a snarky internet critic.
958--> '''AVGN''': Ranting from ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'' about this trope, which should instead be placed in the Web Video folder.
959* Example from a video game soundtrack that was repeated from the Music folder.
960* Example explaining how this trope happens often in [[Franchise/TouhouProject Gensokyo]] without mentioning what work it's from except in a pothole.
961** Example listing how {{fanon}} often makes Reimu into an example of this even though it never happens in canon.
962* Example from ''VideoGame/GuitarHero''
963** Example from ''VideoGame/RockBand'' that is lumped in with ''Guitar Hero'' because both series are practically the same thing.
964*** Example from a song that is available as DownloadableContent in ''Rock Band'' and was already listed in the Music folder above.
965* Example from ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia''.
966** Obligatory reminder that this trope has been a staple of the ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'' going all the way back to ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia''.
967** Badly-indented example from ''VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny''.
968*** More badly-indented example from ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' pointing out that it {{deconstruct|edTrope}}s every trope in existence.
969** Example from ''VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria'' that [[spoiler:also includes spoilers for ''VideoGame/TalesOfBerseria''. The fact that there are spoilers for ''Berseria'' is not obvious unless you highlight the text]].
970* Example from a FanGame that is also listed in the FanFiction section above.
971* Example from ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' that refers to some of the above ''Tales of'' examples, but isn't grouped with them for some unknown reason.
972* Example from a ROM hack that has its own page, such as ''VideoGame/KaizoMarioWorld''. Likely mentions KaizoTrap even if that is not relevant to the trope.
973* Example from a far more obscure ROM hack that doesn't have its own page.
974* Example from ''VideoGames/GameName'' that accidentally misspelled the namespace as "Video Game'''s'''".
975* Example from a ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' game.
976** Example from ''VideoGame/Persona3''. There are no examples from ''VideoGame/Persona1'' or ''VideoGame/Persona2'', even though the trope happens in these games too, because [[SequelDisplacement not many people have actually played or even heard of the earlier installments]].
977* Example from ''VideoGame/Persona4 [[UpdatedRerelease Golden]]'' or ''VideoGame/Persona5'', which is separate from the above examples because the games had gotten rid of the ''Shin Megami Tensei'' name, and the troper who added this [[MorePopularSpinoff has never even heard of the games' parent series]].
978* Example that supposedly showcases an excellent use of the trope, only for [[https://youtu.be/kAyeeiXxe3g the link to no longer work.]]
979* Example about user-generated content (such as a map created using a LevelEditor). The game's content-sharing network has since gone offline, or the specific item in question has been removed, so the example can't be verified anymore.
980* Example from ''Sir Basil Pike Public High School'' that just links to Creator/ZapDramatic's page because the game still doesn't have its own page for some reason.
981* Obligatory example from ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' that discusses (or even [[FanHater outright bashes]]) its BrokenBase for whining about a change, its [[VideoGame3DLeap rough transition to 3D]], or that Creator/{{Sega}} should give up the development rights to [[MyRealDaddy Christian Whitehead]].
982** Example from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' that snarks and complains about its plot or its ObviousBeta gameplay and LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading. May or may not cover up [[TrueLovesKiss what happens]] after TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon in spoilers, because to the gaming community, it's the SignatureScene they all know. It would be cut or rewritten, but the troper community agrees about it enough to [[Administrivia/JustifyingEdit not touch it]].
983** Example from a fangame or game mod that should probably be moved elsewhere, perhaps in its own bullet or the Fan Works folder.
984* Example from a ''VideoGame/SlyCooper'' game.
985** Example from ''VideoGame/SlyCooperThievesInTime'' regarding either the PlotTwist or the ending, that may or may not be covered up in spoilers because This Troper wasn't sure whether ItWasHisSled.
986* Example from ''Popular Mobile RPG'' with wick to AllegedlyFreeGame if paid content or gacha elements are present.
987* Example from ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' listing character traits and plot points specific to the transplanted character's home series, listed in the Video Games folder because the relevant installment is either [[NoExportForYou locked to its home region]] or has no page.
988* Example from ''VideoGame/{{Pokemon}}'' that's either a short Pokédex entry or a WallOfText that's nigh-incomprehensible to anybody who isn't in the competitive battling scene.
989** Several other ''Pokémon'' examples spanning the various adaptations and reissues of a video game franchise that's been around for a quarter-century, [[RuleOfThree leading you to wonder why none of the examples have been split off into their own work pages yet]].
990* ''Desert Bus'' example that potholes to ''WebVideo/DesertBusForHope'' instead of ''VideoGame/PennAndTellersSmokeAndMirrors'', disorienting anyone who clicks on it.
991* ''Franchise/TouhouProject''
992** Example that's either about the character's traits or fanmade aspects of said character. Sometimes in the Fan Works folder.
993** Game-specific example that potholes the game's title to the Franchise page instead of linking to the game's own page. Probably a holdover from before the game pages got split off.
994** Game-specific example that doesn't link the game title anywhere.
995* A ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' example that specifically mentions some feature as introduced in Update Such-and-Such, even though it's been released over 5 years ago and many players now take it for granted.
996* A ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'' example that is likely to be at the bottom of the page whether the examples are sorted alphabetically or newer ones going to the bottom. It will probably talk about an event from 5 years ago as though it is still ongoing. It might also mention the Soma machine gun as though it was still the most powerful weapon available.
997* Example from ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm'' or [[VideoGame/TheReconstruction some]] [[VideoGame/AVeryLongRopeToTheTopOfTheSky other]] [[VideoGame/IMissTheSunrise indie rpgs]] that you probably only heard because of Website/ThisVeryWiki.
998* Example from ''VideoGame/{{Starbound}}'' that references something that was only in beta versions of the game, but which no troper can seemingly be bothered to update.
999* Example from a ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' GameMod.

1001
1002[[folder:Visual Novels]]
1003* A bunch of examples from [=VNs=] you've never heard of, and you're not quite sure why [=VNs=] need a folder separate from video games anyway.
1004* Example from a game (such as ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' or ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'') where it isn't certain it qualifies as a VisualNovel due to its gameplay ratio. (Which is also likely to be a duplicate, as there are already ''Ace Attorney'' examples above.)
1005* ''Franchise/FateSeries'':
1006** Example from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', potentially the only example in the bulleted list that is actually a visual novel. May or may not leave specific character spoilers untagged depending on whether ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' mentioned them.
1007** Examples from ''VideoGame/FateExtra'' or ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' which would probably fit better under the Video Games folder.
1008* Example from ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'', written with such depth and detail that you almost forget this is a dating game about pigeons.
1009* Example from a fairly obscure dating sim.
1010* A ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'' example hyperfocused on Hanako Ikezawa.
1011* Example from ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'' involving Monika being a {{Yandere}} and/or BreakingTheFourthWall.
1012* A few examples from [=VNs=] that have never been officially released outside Japan.
1013* [[spoiler:Really spoiler-heavy trope that causes the entire entry to be blanked out.]]
1014-> [[spoiler: '''Alice:''' Quoted dialogue that represents the trope.]]
1015-> [[spoiler: '''Bob:''' It's long.]]
1016-> [[spoiler: '''Alice:''' And every single line is spoiler tagged.]]
1017-> [[spoiler: '''Bob:''' So if you want to read it, you have to click every tag.]]
1018-> [[spoiler: '''Alice:''' Or just highlight the whole thing.]]
1019-> [[spoiler: '''Bob:''' This dialogue probably shouldn't be here.]]
1020-> [[spoiler: '''Alice:''' If it should, then it probably shouldn't be this long.]]
1021[[/folder]]
1022
1023[[folder:Web Animation]]
1024* Example from a ''WebAnimation/HowItShouldHaveEnded'' parody of a popular/recent movie.
1025* Link to a ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' sbemail which makes fun of this trope.
1026* Example of {{gorn}} from ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends''.
1027* Example from a YouTubePoop.
1028** Example from a YTP by Creator/{{cs188}} that consists solely of a quote from one of his more famous [=YTPs=] and nothing else.
1029** Example from another YTP that was taken down by a copyright claim in 2012 and hasn't been reuploaded since.
1030** Example from a Creator/MichaelRosen-based YTP that includes one of the memes from his poems, even if it was not used in the actual YTP.
1031--->''*click* Nice.''
1032** [[Administrivia/ThereIsNoSuchThingAsNotability Example from an ancient YTP from 2009 with only 400 views]].
1033** Example from an ancient YTP from 2009 that consists entirely of {{discredited meme}}s, pitch-shifting, and SensoryAbuse.
1034** Example from a once-popular [=YTPer=] whose account was nuked, and whose [=YTPs=] live on entirely in obscure channels' reuploads.
1035* Example from ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' [[spoiler:covered in spoiler tags]] even though [[spoiler:there is a video of the same moment below that spoils it]].
1036* Example from ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel''.
1037** Examples from ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' that were stapled to the above instead of being given their own listing. Because every work by the same creator goes under the same bullet point.
1038* ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'' example that spoils who wins a certain fight. May also include complaining about how the episode sucks because the character this troper likes better lost.
1039[[/folder]]
1040
1041[[folder:Webcomics]]
1042* Example of LampshadeHanging, {{subver|tedTrope}}sion, and/or {{deconstruction}} from ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''.
1043** An example from ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' that was shown above as the page image.
1044* Example from a "[[Administrivia/ExamplesAreNotRecent recent]]" arc of a webcomic that's been around for 8 years doing five updates a week, so the archive is huge, and since the example is so far up the page it's long ago fallen off the edit page, there's no way to tell when "recent" was.
1045* Obligatory ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' reference, and a full description of the quadrants.
1046** Along with a bulleted argument about Vriska.
1047*** Or just repeated HONK honk HONK's
1048* Example from ''Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'' (rarely ''Webcomic/{{Jailbreak}}'' or ''Webcomic/BardQuest'') placed under the ''Homestuck'' example because it used to be a bulleted ''Webcomic/MSPaintAdventures'' list.
1049** Weblink example that doesn't work due to MS Paint Adventures moving over to homestuck.com. Nobody has bothered to fix it yet.
1050* Example from a popular WebComic you should read but don't because it is [[ArchivePanic absurdly]] [[LongRunners long]] and you don't want to go on an ArchiveBinge, including several references to how amazing the web comic is.
1051* Example from a WebComic so obscure that you get the feeling that it was added by the [[TroperWorks comic's author]].
1052* Webcomic did it [[http://badlink/030502 here]], only the date format has changed, so the link is no good.
1053** Also [[http://badlink/040506 here]], but when you translate the date to the new format, there's no obvious connection.
1054** And [[http://badlink/3258693j here]], with an outdated link that does not contain the date.
1055** And [[http://somearchivesite/badlink/457894 here]], only that the archived site has a broken image where the comic should be.
1056* Other Webcomic also did it [[http://badlink/7765765 here]], but the link is dead because it was on a Webcomic-Hosting-Made-Easy site from the late-2000s which was capitalizing on the comic-making craze and closed down to avoid the decline, or which was in for the long haul but could no longer stay in the black.
1057* Unverifiable example from ''Deleted Webcomic That Wasn't Archived Anywhere''.
1058* Example from ''Semi-Obscure Webcomic With a Page That This Troper Didn't Link to''.
1059* Example from Webcomic That Didn't Even Get Its Title Italicized.
1060* Example that claims that the trope has been played straight, {{subverted|trope}}, {{averted|trope}} and {{inverted|trope}} in ''[[LongRunners Long Runner]]''. No further details are given.
1061* Example from an obscure fetish-based comic with a link to its trope page or website, not pointing out that said comic is fetish-based. This example should probably have been nuked due to 5P, but for some reason hasn't.
1062* Example linking to a site that used to host the comic, but now redirects to some sketchy ad site that may or may not be full of porn and viruses.
1063* Example from a [[SafeForWork SFW]] furry comic that hasn't been updated since 2004.
1064* Example from a [[NotSafeForWork NSFW]] furry comic that hasn't been updated since 2004. Of course, with no mention that the comic is NSFW.
1065* Example linking to one of the few SFW strips of a very NSFW comic... but there's also other porn on the page that This Troper cheerfully ignored.
1066* "Recent" example that was old even when it was added.
1067* Example from ''Webcomic/SquareRootOfMinusGarfield''.
1068** Second example from ''Square Root of Minus Garfield'' that involves the "They haven't stopped making frozen pudding pops, have they?" strip.
1069* Example from a comic that was abandoned in the middle of a story arc.
1070* Example that contains an archived link because the creator likes to delete poorly-received comics.
1071* Example that contains an archived link for seemingly no reason. You get the feeling that This Troper just hates the comic and wanted to deny it your clicks.
1072* Example from an obscure, crappy comic that only has a (locked) page because someone read its article on the Bad Webcomics Wiki.
1073* Example from a political comic filled with subtle praise. Clearly written by a troper who agrees with the comic's author.
1074* Example from a political comic filled with subtle snark. Clearly written by a troper who disagrees with the comic's author.
1075* Innocent-sounding example that prompts you to check out the comic, only to discover that it pushes a viewpoint you disagree with while [[TheWarOnStraw strawmanning]] your views.
1076* Controversial example from ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'', which includes an irrelevant infodump on the personal life of the comic's author for no apparent reason beyond an assumption that people will point and laugh.
1077* Example from ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' that proved to be divisive among the fandom.
1078** Rant on how XKCD is the most terrible webcomic.
1079** You get the feeling that whoever added this example doesn't actually understand the comic or subject matter, but just wants to look smart.
1080* [[spoiler:Spoiler]]-ridden [[spoiler:example]] from ''Webcomic/GirlGenius''. In all likelihood [[spoiler:the text is going to be more spoiler than non-spoiler]].
1081** Elaboration on that point noting [[spoiler:a "[[Administrivia/ExamplesAreNotRecent recent]]" reveal from multiple years ago]].
1082* Example mentioning that this trope happens in this page of Webcomic. [[Administrivia/ZeroContextExample We won't bother explaining anything more]] because there's no reason you couldn't just click on that comic link and see the trope yourself.
1083* Example from the "latest" page of a [[LongRunners Long Runner]] webcomic that [[Administrivia/WeblinksAreNotExamples only provides you with a link and nothing else]]. The provided link is to the webcomic's homepage that shows the current latest comic, so the only way to know what comic the example was referring to is to go into the history page, find out when the example was added, and then find the nearest date in the comic's archives.
1084* Example from ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'', along with relevant quote.
1085--> '''Black Mage:''' Simultaneously snarky and sociopathic comment.\
1086'''Character with Black Mage:''' Equally as snarky phrase related to respective character trait.
1087* Example from a Reddit post on r/comics.
1088* Example from ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', likely shown above as page image.

1090
1091[[folder:Websites]]
1092* Something that could probably go under the Web Original, Web Video, or Web Animation folder, but no one knows the difference, so it goes here. Might be listed there, too.
1093[[/folder]]
1094
1095[[folder:Web Original]]
1096* Example of mocking the trope in a ''{{Series}}: TheAbridgedSeries''.
1097* A quote or mention from an AbridgedSeries here, since they seem to be all the rage these days. Pithy comment on source material depending on whether or not it was considered SnarkBait at the time.
1098* Example that is only a broken link to a Geocities site from 1998.
1099* Example from a WebSerialNovel (probably ''Literature/{{Worm}}''), incorrectly placed in the Web Original folder instead of Literature where it belongs.
1100* Example from ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'', probably added by the author, which was also incorrectly placed in Web Original instead of Literature.
1101* Another web video example that should go in the Web Video folder.
1102* Example of {{LetsPlay/Chuggaaconroy}} discussing the trope, which should go in the Let's Play folder instead.
1103* Example from ''Website/{{Neopets}}''.
1104* Example from ''LetsPlay/{{raocow}}''.
1105-->'''raocow''': Oh man, look at that totally unnecessary quote of one of those raocow-isms. That is totally, provorbially, a thing. That's pretty great. Hey there, guy.
1106* Misplaced example from a [[UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash Flash]] [[WebGames game]] that should go in the Video Games folder.
1107* Example from a Website/{{Reddit}} post from 4 years ago that doesn't actually link to said post.
1108** Example from one of the controversial political subreddits, insinuating that reddit's entire userbase agrees with said views (AndThatsTerrible).
1109*** Example from another political subreddit with opposing views to the above (and that this troper agrees with), written as if said views were objective fact.
1110* Example of an old meme that most people have forgotten.
1111** Example describing the meme as "recent" or "new".
1112* Example from a Website/FourChan greentext story.
1113* Example from a {{Creepypasta}} that doesn't bother to actually ''name'' the Creepypasta in question, nor does it even give a link.
1114* Example from an old website that has long been deleted. The link redirects you to a shady page that disables your back button and tries to install malware.
1115* Meta-examples from Website/{{Wikipedia}}.
1116** Obligatory "citation needed" joke.[-[[superscript:''[citation needed]'']]-]
1117* [[https://nonexistent.badlink.void This]] quote from a database of funny quotes that got said in chatrooms. [[Administrivia/WeblinksAreNotExamples Who needs context, just click the link, there's no chance whatsoever of it being dead.]]
1118* Zero-context link to a show on Blip that somehow never got replaced when Blip was closed in 2015.
1119* [[https://link.to.cracked Link]] to a ''Website/{{Cracked}}'' article that talks about this. No additional context except the title of the article (if even that).
1120* ''Website/NotAlwaysRight'' example that was probably moved from the Real Life folder.
1121* Legit example from a site that does have a TV Tropes page... but the troper who added it put the link in the nonexistant "[=WebOriginal=]" namespace instead of "Website", "[=WebVideo=]", or "[=WebAnimation=]".
1122* Example from a Yahoo! Group that was never removed when Yahoo! Groups was terminated.
1123* Example from a one-off piece of online art made by an artist that the editor likes and is Administrivia/{{Entry Pimp}}ing.
1124* Example that links to a very [=NSFW=] Website/DeviantArt page that the troper who posted this makes sure to say is "fetish material".
1125** Natter-y example that links to another [=NSFW DeviantArt=] page.
1126** Yet another [=NSFW=] link.
1127* Example from a Website/{{tumblr}} post.

1129
1130[[folder:Web Video]]
1131* A bajillion examples from Website/ChannelAwesome:
1132** Examples from ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'', replete with memes from his reviews.
1133*** Example that uses BigLippedAlligatorMoment just to shoehorn it in.
1134*** Sub-examples from ''WebVideo/DemoReel'', ''WebVideo/BumReviews'', ''WebVideo/AskThatGuyWithTheGlasses'', and other defunct Creator/DougWalker projects. At least one is marked "recent".
1135*** Example stealth-complaining about the [[UnCancelled rebooted series]] written shortly after it was first rebooted in 2013, complaining about "recent" issues that are no longer recent. May also stealth-complain about ''Demo Reel'''s cancellation.
1136** Examples from ''WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob'', most of which are from his now-missing Blip episodes.
1137*** Sub-examples from ''WebVideo/MidnightScreenings'' that all date back to when most of the reviewers still had nicknames.
1138** Examples from a former Channel Awesome show such as ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' or ''WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows'', without any acknowledgement that the show is no longer affiliated with Channel Awesome.
1139** Examples from ''WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}'', ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'', and or ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee''.
1140*** Natter that was appended to said example after the "Channel Not So Awesome" incident.
1141* Example from ''WebVideo/{{Bobsheaux}}''.
1142* A bajillion examples from ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd''.
1143* An example of WebVideo/CinemaSins or WebVideo/HonestTrailers riffing on a popular/recent movie.
1144* Example of a ''{{Film/Downfall}}'' [[WebVideo/HitlerRants Parody]] in which UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler angrily rants about something {{anachronis|mStew}}tic.
1145* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-qJd-z_ODc Poorly explained pothole to a YouTube video which no longer exists.]]
1146* Example from ''WebVideo/TheMysteriousMrEnter'' that proved to be contentious with his fanbase.
1147* Example from an obscure video review show that hasn't been updated since 2012 and only had six videos anyway.
1148* Example from a video review show whose episode was taken down years ago due to copyright claims, BuryYourArt, and/or the disappearance of the site on which it was hosted.
1149* Example from WebVideo/GameGrumps that was written when WebVideo/JonTron was a member.
1150* Example that belongs in the Web Animation folder, but the Troper mistakenly thought that "Web Video" encompassed all online videos as opposed to only ones with live-action.
1151* Example from a Website/{{YouTube}}r observing this trope happening in some piece of media they're analyzing. The troper who added that example is probably too insecure to directly add an example from the work itself. Alternately, the troper is too ''secure'' and added the example just to [[Administrivia/EntryPimp plug their favourite channel]].
1152[[/folder]]
1153
1154[[folder:Western Animation]]
1155* Example from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', with mention of how it happened in a manner that was awesome.
1156** Another example from ''JustForFun/TropeOverdosed: The Series'', indented, and perhaps directly addressing the last one, but separated from it because some other Troper added an example in between for whatever reason.
1157** Example from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', with mention of how the ending was an AssPull.
1158** Example from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', probably complaining about it, that is just thrown underneath the ''Avatar'' examples without adjusting their indentation.
1159* Example of the time ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' parodied this trope, and complaining about how they did it poorly.
1160* Example of the time ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' parodied this trope, and gushing about how they did it brilliantly.
1161* Example of the time ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' parodied this trope, with either complaining or gushing [[SeasonalRot depending on when the episode came out.]]
1162** Example from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' pointing out that they [[TheSimpsonsDidIt did it]], unaware of the actual purpose of [[ItsBeenDone that trope]].
1163* Example from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', noting the genius of the writers.
1164* [[OverlyLongGag Example of the time]] ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'' beautifully deconstructed this trope, even though the example is likely Administrivia/NotADeconstruction and instead an excuse for someone to gush about Western adult animation's ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion]]''. The show's name also isn't capitalized correctly.
1165* An example from a classic ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episode.
1166** Another example from classic ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''.
1167** A ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' example that either (1) spells it as Spongebob (without CamelCase) or (2) spells it as "SpongeBob" and leaves the Administrivia/RedLink.
1168** A mention of how the show has undergone SeasonalRot and is no longer good.
1169*** Obligatory follow-up that it "got fixed" later on.
1170** Example from ''WesternAnimation/KampKoral'' or ''WesternAnimation/ThePatrickStarShow'' that got put as a sub-bullet on the grounds that it's a SpinOff.
1171* Obligatory example with ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''.
1172** At least eight further examples plus one from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls''.
1173** Example about a background pony that never actually does this trope in the show, but a lot of {{fanon}} depicts the character as an example so it's lumped in with the canon examples.
1174** Meta-example about the [[PeripheryDemographic bronies]].
1175* Example about a film in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon that should be in the animated film section instead.
1176* Obscure example from a series that is aimed at a ''very young'' demographic.
1177* Example from an extremely obscure late 1990s cartoon that has almost no episodes circulating online, and has a page only because That Troper was a fan of it as a kid.
1178* Example of this trope being lampshaded OnceAnEpisode in ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''.
1179* Example from ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'' that is listed here instead of in the Films -- Animated folder.
1180* Example from AsianAnimation or EasternEuropeanAnimation that This Troper confused for being Western.
1181* Example from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' that complains about how the show got too [[SadistShow sadistic]]. Possibly includes a link to DudeNotFunny used as an AudienceReaction to complain about the BlackComedy.
1182* Nine billion examples from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', most of which are LGBT-related.
1183* Obligatory ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' example.
1184** Example from ''Film/SpaceJam'' or ''Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction'' that should go in the Films -- Live-Action folder instead.
1185* Example from ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'' that parodies this trope. You wonder how it got enough [[Administrivia/TVTropesGlossary Troper Critical Mass]] for it to be wicked everywhere, especially for a show that's rather obscure in English-speaking nations.
1186* Lengthy example from ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'', which makes you wonder how a show for preschoolers can have such deep analysis and come up so often.
1187* Example from ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'', with an occasional reference to its [[WhatCouldHaveBeen/JimmyTwoShoes original premise]].
1188* Example from ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' going into detail about the ToiletHumor, UnconventionalFoodUsage, and [[SickEpisode Sick Episodes]]. Might also provide the page image.
1189* Example from ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' that is totally not the Troper's poorly-disguised fetish.
1190* Example from a Creator/HannaBarbera cartoon (usually of the YouMeddlingKids variety) that ships the characters.
1191** An example from ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingChanAndTheChanClan''.
1192** Obligatory example from ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo''.
1193** Example that complains about the studio's use of LimitedAnimation.
1194** Example from a cartoon that was a back-up segment on another show that doesn't link to its page, or instead links to the page of the parent show (for example, ''[[WesternAnimation/TheHuckleberryHoundShow Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks]]'')
1195* Example complaining about ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'', ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'', or any other cartoons hated by cartoon reviewers.
1196* Example from ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' that has examples from other ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' cartoons listed below it in subbullets, making you wonder why they aren't collectively listed under the franchise.
1197** [[invoked]] Example from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' that comments about [[PlatonicWritingRomanticReading Jack and Arcee's relationship having oddly romantic undertones]].
1198** Example from ''Anime/TransformersArmada'' that should be in the Anime & Manga folder.
1199* Example from ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' that makes D.W. out to be a monster.

1201* Example from ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'' praising the "classic series" and "Brenner era" while hating on the "Miller era."
1202* Example from ''WesternAnimation/PJMasks'' that doesn't let you [[AdaptationDisplacement forget that it was based on a book]], ''[[Literature/PJMasks Les Pyjamasques]]''.
1203* Example from ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' that inexplicably puts [[spoiler:the fact that Luz and Amity are dating]] in spoiler markup, even though everyone already knows this.
1204* Example from ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens''.
1205** Example from one of its {{Unexpectedly Dark Episode}}s, which are the only things people talk about from this show for some reason.
1206* Example from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama''.
1207* Example that recounts a scene from a show in an overly familiar tone as if the person who wrote it was friends with the characters.
1208* Example that reads like "There was this show that had this character named Sammy or Smartie or something like that. Anyways, he tripped on something, I can't remember what, and a character I think was his sister went in and said something funny that fits this trope."
1209* Example claiming to be from a show that isn't even actually from it, and the author mixed it up with something else.
1210* Example claiming to be from a ''very'' obscure show that never happened on it and is just a false memory.
1211* Example from ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' containing a pothole to LovableCoward labelled Scooby, Shaggy, or [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Scooby and Shaggy]].
1212[[/folder]]
1213
1214[[folder:Wikis]]
1215* An example from Website/{{Wikipedia}} that refers to it as "The Other Wiki".
1216* An example from Website/TVTropes that refers to it as "This Very Wiki".
1217* An example also listed under one of the Web categories.
1218* An example from ''Website/SCPFoundation''.
1219* Example from a random aside joke on a fandom wiki that allows a breezier tone than most, such as ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' or ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress''.
1220[[/folder]]
1221
1222[[folder:Other]]
1223* Visual Novel example added because there was no VN folder, This Troper didn't know if it counted as a video game and decided to play it safe.
1224* Example from a work that's so obscure no one even knows its medium.
1225* Controversial Real Life example that was deliberately buried in the middle of the "Other" folder in an attempt to evade deletion.
1226* A dozen examples that could easily be sorted into the other folders, but are still here because This Troper was too lazy to place them correctly and just dumped them here.
1227* Misplaced Real Life example.
1228* Short description of a SubTrope for which no page yet exists, formatted as an example for some reason.
1229** Several
1230** examples
1231** of
1232** this
1233** subtrope
1234** all stapled here, instead of sorted into the medium folder to which they actually belong.
1235[[BrickJoke d the second half has somehow been pushed an absurd distance down the page in the meantime.]]
1236* Example from a web site that sells novelty t-shirts with funny pictures and words on them for the low, low cost of 10 US dollars. Includes a link to buy that t-shirt, but it totally wasn't written with the intent of advertising this website and its merchandise.
1237[[/folder]]
1238
1239[[folder:Real Life]]
1240* Relevant comment regarding real life information related to the trope, placed at the top of the example folder because it's informational! The fact that it's not an example and clearly ought to be incorporated into the description will never occur to any person, ever.
1241* A lone RealLife example erroneously declared as TruthInTelevision which we are not making up.
1242* Questionable example from This Troper's life.
1243** RealLife example: This Troper's personal testimony. (it will later be deleted, restored with a Administrivia/JustifyingEdit, and deleted again)
1244* UrbanLegend that totally happened to this troper's sister's ex-boyfriend's 2nd cousin's niece's math teacher's friend in Trinidad.
1245* "Unfortunately, this trope is TruthInTelevision, and that's bad because blah blah blah"
1246* Link to a discredited UrbanLegend.
1247** Link to Website/{{Snopes}} debunking the urban legend. Of course, This Troper [[Administrivia/RepairDontRespond placed it in a secondary bullet point instead of just rewording the example]] and moving it to the Urban Legends folder.
1248* Rather spurious example from RealLife, revealing the editor's ideological bias and bordering on {{Troll}} material.
1249** Attempt to delete/rectify above, which [[FoxNewsLiberal gets restored multiple times]] as ideological bias matches community preferences.
1250*** Above example deleted.
1251* Obligatory example about how evil Disney/[insert corporation here] is.
1252* Example that uses spoilers to hide [[spoiler:a real-life, well-known death.]]
1253* Example involving UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, thus invoking GodwinsLaw.
1254** Example involving UsefulNotes/JosefStalin, thus invoking GodwinsLaw Response.
1255* Controversial example that is bound to be deleted at some point for fear that it might result in FlameWar.
1256** Counterpoint to controversial example, which might even get the entire RealLife section taken off the page, despite the fact that the rest of the RealLife examples were perfectly uncontroversial.
1257*** Blatant, badly spelled FlameBait to above, asserting that all who stand on one particular side of the discussion are [[EatsBabies baby-munching]] [[GodwinsLaw Nazis]].
1258*** Even more controversial example that links to Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment in an attempt to make it look fair and unbiased.
1259* Historical example that is now found not to be true.
1260** Angry rant disproving that example, while sounding like the troper ''really'' needed to take his anger out.
1261* Example that doesn't actually belong in the RealLife section.
1262** Comment indicating that this example should be moved up into the main section, by someone who didn't bother to do that.
1263** Above example read by unhinged fan, who becomes a DaydreamBeliever.
1264* Seven thousand examples of military natter, because we need to know about every single model of tank used in every single battle.
1265* Non-example stating that [[CaptainObvious this sometimes occurs in real life]].
1266* Scientific example that stems from a common misconception.
1267** Administrivia/{{Natter}} that disputes the accuracy of the above example while being equally wrong.
1268* Personal anecdote made general by scrubbing the name of the person, place, or thing it happened to.
1269* Dead link to a newspaper article that may or may not have featured this trope.
1270* Link to a news article behind a paywall.
1271* Example that contains minor factual errors.
1272** Another example calling the original poster of that example an idiot.
1273** Ridiculously nitpicky reply quoting facts that only someone who works in the field mentioned/lives in the area mentioned/is God would know.
1274** Ridiculously nitpicky reply that focuses on one inconsistency that can be easily edited out.
1275* Example with minor historical inaccuracies.
1276** A scathing explanation of why this is wrong!
1277*** Condescending blather about how this topic isn't morally or philosophically important enough to deserve accuracy, implying that the above editor is a bad person for correcting someone.
1278* Example that was only added to make someone This Troper dislikes look bad. Surprisingly, it turns out to be factually correct.
1279* Example based around a topical news story from ten years ago whose relevence has been lost to time.
1280* Creator/FamousCelebrity name-dropped this trope in one interview once.
1281* RealLife example about [[StrawCharacter a]] [[{{Jerkass}} real]] [[MsFanservice person]] [[{{Cult}} or]] [[GreatOffscreenWar event]] [[HatedByAll that]] [[PoliceBrutality includes]] [[VillainousIncest several]] [[AnimalWrongsGroup potholes]] to Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease tropes that would be deleted immediately if they were listed on those tropes' actual pages.
1282* Some anecdote about Christine Weston Chandler, deadnamed or otherwise. It says either "Christine Weston Chandler (of ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'' fame)" or it just directly potholes the person's name to ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}''.
1283* An example about Creator/DougWalker based on comments from his out-of-character vlogs.
1284* Example about the current president of the United States of America doing something controversial, written with biased language under the assumption that everyone on this wiki agrees with This Troper's views.
1285* Example that informs you that this trope is TruthInTelevision, as though you didn't figure that out from all the other real life examples above that you've already read.
1286* Example that gushes about the attractiveness of some celebrity.
1287* Example from Website/NotAlwaysRight. Because who would ''lie'' on the internet?
1288* Example from a non-fiction book better suited for the Literature page.
1289* An example that is "Justified", meaning the creators have established a reason in-universe for this trope to be in effect. [[note]]Whoever wrote RealLife was probably on crack or something.[[/note]]
1290* An example with a lot of invasive speculation on a real person's private life.
1291* A misused example that somebody will point to argue that the trope should be Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease, instead of just removing the misuse and leaving the valid examples alone.
1292* A rant about the state of the world vaguely related to the trope.
1293* A whole bunch of examples from real life that are probably more interesting and nuanced than fictional examples.
1294[[/folder]]
1295
1296[[folder:Unsorted]]
1297* There's an "unsorted" folder?!
1298* Example that you recognize and could sort into the correct medium, but you won't.
1299* Well ''now'' how are you going to tell if they've already added that example from ''[[JustForFun/MyFavoriteShow Your Favorite Show]]'' or not?!
1300[[/folder]]
1301----
1302''Joke that didn't fit anywhere else, usually about the page itself, referencing the topic at hand.''
1303
1304->'''[[JustForFun/StatlerAndWaldorf Either Statler or Waldorf]]''': Snarky comment about the subject at hand.\

1309----
1310!!Video Example(s), awkwardly placed at the bottom of the page:
1311* A video that misunderstands the trope.
1312* A video that is much longer than it needs to be and should probably be trimmed down.
1313** A single scene/clip separated into two parts to get around the length limit on videos.
1314** A 1-minute video that demonstrates the trope for all of 5 seconds.
1315* A bunch of videos from a single movie or a single TV show episode, running the risk of copyright infringement.
1316* A video with large watermarks that should be replaced with a clean video.
1317* A low-quality video that should be replaced with a better-quality version of the same clip.
1318* A video that does not link to the page for the work.
1319* A video from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', probably the episode "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E28ChangeYourMind Change Your Mind]]".
1320* A video from ''Show You Were Going To Start Watching Next Week When You Have The Time'' that uses the death scene of a major character and shows said death in the thumbnail, spoiling the events of the WhamEpisode for anyone who scrolls to the bottom of the page.
1321* A video from an anime series that uses the original Japanese version with subtitles, even though an English dub exists, because maintaining one's position in the SubbingVersusDubbing debate is more important than making sure the video actually works as a video and not just more text to read.
1322* A video from an anime FanSub with the watermark of whatever editing software was used to make it.
1323* A video that actually depicts [[CanonicalListOfSubtleTropeDistinctions a different trope that is frequently confused for this one]].
1324* A video that is the entirety of a short work, probably by WebVideo/ProZD.
1325* Very long video from a video game, containing both cutscene and gameplay despite the trope definitely appearing in only one of them.
1326* Long video of two video game cutscenes separated by a loading screen.
1327* Video with several severe typos in the title and description, including some â€Å†nonsense caused by character encoding bugs that still haven't been fixed. You really, really wish you could just edit it and fix it yourself, but video examples don't work that way for some reason.
1328* Video that the majority of the media source's fans think is the SugarWiki/MostTriumphantExample.
1329* The TropeNamer or TropeCodifier.
1330* Video ripped from a pirate site complete with the site's watermark.
1331* A video from ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' that is overly-long, misunderstands the trope, or is highly spoilerrific.
1332* A video from an English-language work with foreign-language subtitles because that was the highest-quality rip the uploader could find.
1333* A video that's listed as an example of another trope, but shows up here because the uploader put a bunch of tropes in the media source because it depicts multiple tropes at once.
1334* A video that doesn't actually illustrate the trope that well, but since it's from a very popular work, it got a bunch of high ratings.
1335* A video that demonstrates the trope well, but gets review bombed because it's from a show people [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch haven't watched and don't like]].
1336* A video from a VideoReviewShow or AnalysisChannel to illustrate an in-universe AudienceReaction.
1337* At least one video from a JustForFun/VideoOverdosed work.
1338* A video for an AudienceReaction with no regard for the actual reaction of the audience.
1339* A video that's exactly the same as another video, but under a different trope.
1340* A video from WebVideo/{{Jreg}} depicting a StrawCharacter representing an ideology you've never heard before.
1341* A video from an anime in Japanese with no English subtitles, maybe because the trope doesn't need any verbal context to be demonstrated. You still wonder what the hell is going on in the video.
1342* A video that is out-of-sync/sideways/upside-down/otherwise glitched out, despite not appearing broken when the person first uploaded it.
1343* A borderline NSFW video.
1344* A video that claims to be the TropeNamer, but really isn't.
1345* A video from a work you don't recognise, with neither the title nor description mentioning the work its from. The article probably doesn't even have that example, so you will have to open the video to see its source.
1346* A footage from [=CelebrityGamer386's=] gameplay video, with the video description focusing on their reaction to the trope happening.
