19Want further proof that JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife? Just take a look at all of the JustForFun/{{egregious}} {{meme|ticMutation}}s that ''[[TheContributors we've]]'' spawned. Don't worry... you'll eventually start using these in time.
20
21Since these are in-jokes, you'd be hardpressed to find them outside of Website/TVTropes, but within, they are memetic.
22
23Naturally, many of these are [[RunningGag Repeatedly Used On This Very Wiki]]. (Including that one.)
24
25Remember that trope names are often built off of existing references or memes, or are chosen to match what people would "naturally" call something, so it can sometimes be difficult to untangle whether a memetic trope name originated on Website/TVTropes or was merely spread by it.
26
27(If you are unfamiliar with some of these, you probably don't visit our forums.)

29----
30* [[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife You're troping again!]]
31* Tropers/TrollPost.
32* Tropes can be considered as memes in and on themselves.
33* Referring to Website/{{Wikipedia}} as Website/TheOtherWiki or Website/ThatOtherWiki.
34* A TropeLaunchPad meme occurs when someone makes a blank post, after which people start complaining that we already have DadaComics, and supplying examples of the proposed trope in various media (inevitably including John Cage's ''4:33''). This is because [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=4q8986r0&trope=DadaComics the TLP draft]] for DadaComics was actually started this way.
35* Look no further than WildMassGuessing: EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory and [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Altaïr]], [[MemeticBadass who kills everything]]. Everyone is also a JustForFun/TimeLord and Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya, and living inside the subconscious of both [[Series/StElsewhere Tommy Westphall]] and [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]].
36** Martin Van Buren [[Literature/MoreInformationThanYouRequire really was]] a Time Lord.
37** [[MemeticBadass Look. No. Further.]] [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean William "Bootstrap Bill" Turner]] '''''IS A TIME LORD'''''. Who makes ''EVERYONE'' '''THEIR TARDIS on Website/TVTropes'''!
38** Also, everyone is [[{{WMG/Pokemon}} Ash's father]]. Who I have heard really gets around.
39*** As an extension, everyone will start beeping [[Manga/HimechansRibbon in 57 minutes]].
40** And [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Spiral Energy]] and [[{{Shinigami}} Shini]][[VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou gami]] are the gears that make it work.
41** They're only a [[Series/DoctorWho Time Lord]] if you can say what their TARDIS is. For example, Tropers/FastEddie is a Time Lord, and Website/TVTropes is his TARDIS.
42* This wiki also spawned a minor memetic mutation regarding the game ''VideoGame/{{Prey|2006}}''. After Tropers/{{Nezumi}} casually pointed out the significant usage of sphincters and sphincter-like structures in the WombLevel portions of ''Prey'', it's become a running gag to make references to sphincters any time it's mentioned on the wiki. At one point, the Sphere the game takes place in was referred to in an entry as "the sphinctership."
43* TropeNameInJokes.
44* On my deathbed, I will whisper, "(old name for renamed trope)".
45** [[MoralEventHorizon "Rape The Dog."]] I sincerely hope no one confuses this for my dying wish.
46** [[ArtisticLicenseBiology "You Fail Biology Forever."]] And I for one hope that the doctors won't take it as a final insult.
47* [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Crowning Moment Of Awesome]] has become a recognizable meme in certain corners of the Internet.
48** [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara mentioned it.]]
49** And, to a lesser extent, DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck[[invoked]].
50** Probably hit critical mass when it was used for a gag in ''[[Webcomic/WalkyVerse Shortpacked!]]''
51** Exceeded critical mass when an article in ''Esquire'' was called "TV's Crowning Moments of Awesome."
52** As the one who started the whole CMOA thing in the first place, Tropers/{{Weaver}} is fully aware that they have created a monster and is happier about it than they probably should be.
53* Similarly, but not as much, RuleOfCool gets used in other corners of the Internet.
54* Due to [[{{Fanservice}} fortunate]] ClothingDamage in the ''Film/{{Fantastic Four|2005}}'' movies, we have come to the conclusion that ''even the laws of physics'' want to see Creator/JessicaAlba naked.
55* ([[RealityBreakingParadox Abortion of reality]] that will haunt every waking moment or [[NightmareFuel your dreams]]). You're welcome.
56* X Ensues. It's not always [[HilarityEnsues hilarity]].
57** HilarityEnsues could kind of count on its own; a lot of times it's mentioned, hilarity does, in fact, ensue.
58*** PotHole-ing to HilarityEnsues in cases of extreme violence.
59* "troll post removed". (On the forums, anyway)
60** Also on the forums: This post was '''''thumped''''' by the Stick of Off-Topic Thumping.
61* As a discussion involving trope names progresses, the probability of one of the following tropes being mentioned approaches one:
62** [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute Jonas Quinn]]
63** [[MoralEventHorizon Rape The Dog]]
64*** Also, in the "page history" sections, "Rape the Dog is dead".
65* The Perfect Trumpet Thingy from the ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' NightmareFuel pages is becoming a memetic nightmare-giver. Any Trope including [[NightmareSequence nightmares]], [[SurrealHorror surrealism]], or it's very image alone will result in SOMEONE commenting how scary it is.
66** The name is also a TV Tropes brand [[FanNickname nickname]].
67* After the DrinkingGame/TVTropesWikiDrinkingGame noted the popularity of the word "JustForFun/{{egregious}}" on the Wiki, someone decided to PotHole the next instance of "egregious" they wrote to [[DrinkingGame/TVTropes that very drinking game]]. Before long, half the instances of "egregious" were linked there. This was eventually taken to its logical conclusion: "JustForFun/{{Egregious}}" was created, first as a redirect to the DrinkingGame/TVTropesWikiDrinkingGame, and then as its own page. The word has also crept into trope titles, such as The Egregious Trope-Man (which has now been renamed TheAdjectivalSuperhero).
68* [[JustForFun/DescribeTopicHere Describe Meme here]]. It's a phrase that gets repeated until repeating it is an end in itself.
69** Even though JustForFun/DescribeTopicHere has been replaced with "Click the edit button to start this new page", this meme is still used for [[SelfDemonstratingArticle self-demonstrating]] openings to articles, and "Click the edit button..." hasn't escaped this fate either.
70* Tropers/TheAdvertisementServer is Website/TVTropes' own MemeticBadass. Or at least, Memetic Wiseass. Giving JustForFun/{{Made Of Win}}s to said server became so popular, it got its own honorary contributor page and a separate JustForFun/MadeOfWin section ''just for it,'' dubbed JustForFun/AdOfWin.
71** Xanatos and Light Yagami planned EVERYTHING.
72* '''Literature/CiaphasCain, [[FakeUltimateHero HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!]]'''
73** '''[[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!]]'''
74** Also, always write [[Creator/DanGreen DAN GREEN!!!]] and '''Creator/{{BRIAN BLESSED}}''' in capital letters (especially the latter!)
75** Let's not forget [[Webcomic/GirlGenius Othar Tryggvassen]], '''GentlemanAdventurer'''!
76** Any sentence... which... mentions... Creator/WilliamShatner... must be riddled... with... dramatic pauses.
77** [[TheAce Ace]] [[Series/RedDwarf Rimmer]] ([[PhraseCatcher what a guy!]]).
78** '''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''' always being emphasized.
79** [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Princess Luna]] and her '''''ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE!'''''
80** [[SelfDemonstrating/GLaDOS GlaDOS]]' sp''ee''ch '''pat'''[[AC:tern]] [-looks like ''he'll''-] [[AC:to ed'''it''']].
81** Not only are we contractually obligated to remind you about [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Fabius Bile]]'s labcoat (it's made of [[GenuineHumanHide human skin]], since you asked), we're contractually obligated to remind you about our contractual obligation thereof.
82* On the old forums, sex-related derails, sometimes described as "Tropers Are Horny Bastards". Forced derails tend to take the form of references to orange juice and ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}} II'', following an attempt to derail the Fetishes thread.
83** The phrase "TAKE THAT SHIT TO FETISHES" has become a meme itself, whenever someone thinks that a sex related derail is imminent. Now known as "Get thee to The Nunnery!".
84* ''Every'' thread will eventually derail into discussions about sex, Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion, or Literature/{{Haruhi|Suzumiya}}. No exceptions. One of these things is not found in a brothel...
85** You forgot Creator/JossWhedon works.
86** Hell, "No exceptions" is a meme in itself.
87** And ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' has since given way to ''Franchise/TouhouProject'', and then ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''.
88*** Does this mean that we're no longer allowed to mention our [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Ayanami Rei]] [[CrackPairing x]] [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya Nagato]] [[ReiAyanamiExpy Yuki]] [[YuriGenre lesbian]] [[CasualKink bondage]] [[BitingTheHandHumor fantasies]] any more?
89* In the [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]] thread, 'acid sacks' (from a discussion about [[BizarreAlienBiology Weird Argonian Biology]]), and 'wrong ears' (The Dark Elves' ears apparently point the wrong direction in Skyrim).
90* WildMassGuessing that actually makes sense. Crazy, I know.
91** [[[CaptainObvious Blatantly canon guess]]]
92*** That's ridiculous/you'll need more proof than that.
93* Tropers often refer to themselves in the third person: "This Troper". Not to be confused with "DarthWiki/ThatTroper". The jocular "This Vigilante Taxonomist" is also occasionally seen, in reference to a forum thread in which a user accused Tropers of being vigilante taxonomists. Note that doing either this or referring to yourself in the first person has been strongly discouraged on the wiki for quite a while now.
94** Also, JustForFun/ReportSiht.
95* IMDB never lies.
96** Except when it does.
97* On the forums: [[InherentlyFunnyWords Fedora fedora fedora.]]
98** [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus Malkovich,]] [[OverlyLongGag Malkovich,]] Malkovich.
99* [[ComicallyMissingThePoint "Hey, what anime should I watch?" ''TwinPeaks''.]]
100* Other forum memes include [[LiteralGenie fire]], "''Akufen -- The Dragonfly Who Thought He Was A Mockingbird''" and "[[spoiler:[[EatsBabies rats]]]]".
101* Plus the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n_xIDT2Jec&feature=player_embedded Reispin meme]]. Now the tripped-out [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Rei face]] is a forum-symbol for both the JustForFun subforum and, as one troper put it, "Descents into stygian madness."
102** Which originally took [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Reispinwin.JPG this form]].
103** Now in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' [[http://a.imageshack.us/img830/9882/terezispin.png Flavor]]!
104** ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' [[http://i53.tinypic.com/bijev6.gif Edition!]]
105* ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' is ''Literature/HoratioHornblower''...[[AC:[[RecycledInSpace In Space]]!]]
106* Arguably [[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife TV Tropes ruining people's lives]] has become a meme itself. It's been mentioned on [[http://www.xkcd.com/609/ xkcd]], and [[http://www.walfas.org/?p=789 other miscellaneous sites]]
107* [[#haven]] Tropers/{{Haven}} is TheProtagonist of RealLife.
108* HAY @/{{ZUDAK}}
109** LET'S HAVE HAWT, NASTY SEX THAT VIOLATES EVERY LAW OF PHYSICS. LITERALLY.
110** Which, [[MemeticMutation of course]], spawned: HAY [AOD], HAY [[RougeAnglesOfSatin CELEBRAIN]], HAY AONDEUG, HAY IS FOR HORSES, NEEDLE, HAY HAY HAY, HAY RIDLEY, HAY GUYZ, and a few others. A few of them (the big ones) were actually saved by the Troper, Pacific, and made downloadable so that we could save this piece of craziness for posterity, after they got deleted.
111* "I Am Not Making This Up" ''used'' to be a meme, but it got [[Administrivia/PotholeMagnet so]] [[OverusedRunningGag overused]] that it ended up as a DiscreditedMeme. We now call it [[TheScottishTrope "The Phrase That Shall Not Be Potholed"]].
112** Similarly, saying "X does not exist" while potholing to {{Discontinuity}} was once a meme, but became discredited after being overused and widely agreed to be irritating. The split into FanonDiscontinuity and CanonDiscontinuity sealed the meme's fate.
113* During the short-lived movie nights on the forums, it was popular to accuse various objects in the movies of being SNAKES! This started during the ''Film/SnakesOnAPlane'' movie night, when the tropers realized that it took the movie around 30 minutes to show a single snake.
114** THIS ARTICLE IS SNAKES!
115* In Recap/DoctorWho recaps, it's comm-WOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSH. For some inexplicable reason.
116* On the forum, any sentence saying "Thanks to this post of mine, you now know something that you didn't know before!" is likely potholed to AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle.
117* Putting "I came here from Website/TVTropes" at comment section of any Youtube video is becoming this.
118** It's the top-rated comment for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuTG7iasgaE this video]], with (at time of writing) about 300 votes, linked from SoUnfunnyItsFunny.
119** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dC0_lVaiTQ This video]] is linked from BoundAndGagged, and almost every comment mentions TV Tropes. It's now reached a critical mass, and newer comments express surprise that every comment really does mention TV Tropes.
120* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' is becoming a trope of its own, usually related to DarkerAndEdgier.
121* I hate memes from the fora too. Fuck that guy.
122* Marking that a trope is being JustForFun/{{egregious}}ly used within a work by adding the phrase "''And how!''" as description to an example, usually with some kind of misplaced italics. Further repetitive use of the same tropes [[LampshadeHanging will lead to a promotion]] to "''but of COURSE!''"
123* Creator/SamuelLJackson, while only having one arm, beat up the [[UsefulNotes/TyrannosaurusRex "T. rex"]] in ''Franchise/JurassicPark'', and forced him to provide the DeusExMachina ending. This was cut from the final print of the movie because it was so awesome, test audiences' [[YourHeadASplode heads kept on exploding]].
124** Every time exploding heads are mentioned, it's imperative to mention [[Film/{{Scanners}} Darryl Revok]].
125* "(insert controversial statement) Your Mileage May Vary" used to be a meme, but was taken out for being nattery and controversial.
126* JustForFun/{{Hello}}. MyNameIsInigoMontoya. YouKilledMyFather. PrepareToDie.
127** To elaborate, JustForFun/{{Hello}} was made specifically because it was the only part of that quote that wasn't in [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment blue]].
128** Even the following line, StopSayingThat, is a trope.
129* Putting [[spoiler:Jesus dies]] in spoiler tags. Don't want to spoil the ending for all you Protestants out there.
130** Or that [[spoiler:He gets better]].
131* Looking for the latest Anime or some sweet music? Whatever you do, make sure to obtain it through [[BlatantLies Perfectly Legal Means!]]
132* Please, no [[Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike Complaining About Memes You Don't Like on this page]].
133* Your Mileage May Vary, as the work was very [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment polarizing.]]
134%%Please do not blueshift YMMV. It's being removed.
135* It's [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=qsqx5tfrsenwmex5rslcoqri&page=1 THE GREAT]] [[{{Satan}} MOTHERFUCKING]] [[ComicBook/ChickTracts PUMPKIN!]]
136* I'm surprised nobody has mentioned being surprised about something nobody has mentioned yet yet.
137** There's a person, of all people, who was in a show, of all shows, who used this meme, of all memes, where they show that they show that it is surprising, of all emotions, that this was an example of a trope, of all things.
138** Don't forget "Not to mention", and [[Administrivia/WordCruft lest we forget]] something [[FanMyopia you've never heard of]].
139* [[Creator/ClaudeRains Cpt. Louis Renault]] is shocked - ''shocked'' - to see that gambling is going on in [[Film/{{Casablanca}} here]].
140* Tropers/ManWithoutABody started using the phrase "That is all" for examples that were Administrivia/SelfExplanatory or [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin exactly what they said on the tin]]. The whole thing was done with quite a [[Literature/CompleteWorldKnowledge John Hodgman]] influence, as it's one of his {{catch phrase}}s. The phrase has spread a bit across the wiki.
141* The page on [[ForumSpeak Left Fielder]] had become just a place for endless MemeticMutation of whatever you want, until the examples were cut.
142* [[ArtisticLicense You Fail X Forever]], leading to the Laconic entry: [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} X DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY! GOODNIGHT!]]
143* From the now-defunct Troper Tales:
144** Anecdotes would draw the response "Are you me?" from the like-minded and "[[EngagingConversation will you marry me?]]" from those who liked what they read.
145** "[Character/Person] causes this type of Fetish Fuel, which concerns this [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday otherwise entirely straight]] [same gender] troper who isn't into that in RealLife."
146** The fact that in the Website/TVTropes NightmareFuel page, it's revealed that BrotherSisterIncest once had an (empty) TroperTales page, as if somebody was expecting it to be filled in at some point.
147* An X that is so overflowing with memes that it needs its own section.
148* [[PotHole Pot]] [[VideoGame/DwarfFortress Holing]] [[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 to]] [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent a]] [[UsefulNotes/AmericanFederalism different]] [[Characters/FullmetalAlchemist article]] [[{{Yuri}} with]] [[BoisterousBruiser every]] [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} single]] [[RoyalWe word]] [[Music/MichaelJackson in]] [[VideoGame/RobotUnicornAttack a]] [[HeroicBSOD sentence]] [[ImageLinks/MamaBear or]] [[Administrivia/AllBlueEntry phrase]].
149* Thanks to the forum wordfilter, variations on the phrase "'''Sorry, I skipped some posts.'''" are now common. Less widely used is "'''I am too lazy, or possibly too incapable, to actually read anything. I resent the fact that this makes me seem like an inconsiderate person and hereby pledge to resume taking my ADHD medication.'''"
150* Tropers/FastEddie will shut that shit down.
151** Do you think he is playing? [[spoiler:He was. Until he wasn't a year later.]]
152* Say, have you tried Franchise/TouhouProject--[[KilledMidSentence *shot*]]
153* Another forum meme: A while ago, a troll spammed some boards with topics titled "Why is X", where X is typically a minority group or religion or something. After his banning, "Why is?" rose to prominence.
154* [[Administrivia/JustAFaceAndACaption Image caption: [Character] shows us how it's done.]]
155** [Character] tells it as it is.
156* [[ThePointsMeanNothing Bonus points]] for awarding points to your entries.
157* [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Topic_make_me_make_this_face.png Topic make me make this face.]] [=*image=] of [[Manga/AzumangaDaioh Osaka]] staring blankly*
158* Website/TVTropes is practically the poster child for this.
159* In the case of ''TabletopGame/{{FATAL}}'':
160** Any discussion about the "game"'s Chaos Magic will eventually lead to jokes about summoning "randy gay ogres".
161** Stabs at Byron Hall's claims of "[[ArtisticLicenseHistory historical accuracy]]" will be met with screams of '''REALISM!''' Often corrupted: '''REALISTIANALCIRCUMFRENCE!'''
162** Whenever the eponymous spell--which kills everything in the game's universe--comes up, it is inevitably referred to as a MercyKill or otherwise being for the best.
163** [[{{Squick}} It's cloaca time!]]
164* An example of a trope taken "[[LogicalExtreme to its logical conclusion/extreme]]" or "up to eleven", which is often a trope exaggerated or lasts longer than would really be necessary. One example being "what if a tsundere character ''stayed'' tsundere, even after growing up, marrying, and having a child?"
165* '''[[{{Narm}} He broke 33 pencils in his life, and had a good friend break two of those pencils because they were too hard.]]'''
166** "Consta-Kid".
167* When {{Large Ham}}s are mentioned, there will be allusions to different kinds of pork-based foodstuffs, and quite often related puns on actor/character names, as well as [[ChewingTheScenery scenery ingestion]] [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness wordplay]].
168* Referring to your overly cuddly bisexual friend as OCBF.
169* TV Tropes misspelled as TV Trops. You've probably done it at least once.
170* Every time a programming problem in the wiki happens, when Fast Eddie fixes it, he is being fast as usual.
171* (I knew who made this thread) "Before I even clicked on it!"
172** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCJMYgPbaJk Indeed.]]
173* Variations on the phrase "FUCK the SHIT out of her" have become popular on the It Just Bugs Me! forum. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The original statement was "If you saw her you would want to FUCK the SHIT out of her. Chick was a dime."[[/labelnote]]
174* Website/TVTropes is a ''buttload'' more informal.
175* [[InWhichYouExplainWhatYourPostIsAbout Fake Potholes on Fora]].
176* It seems like every time Website/TVTropes crashed, it went "bork" or "was borked".
177* So who came from the {enter tvtropes page here} page on tvtropes?
178** So who came from the {enter subpage within tvtropes page here} subpage of the {enter tvtropes page here} page on tvtropes?
179*** (Website/YouTube) Featured on Website/TVTropes!
180* [[Music/SeanCombs P. Diddy]] caused everything evil in the world. He's now to evil what [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Altair]] is to death. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A woman sued P. Diddy claiming he caused 9/11 and stole a poker chip worth $100 zillion from her.[[/labelnote]]
181* Linking to TV Tropes from an outside site will inevitably spawn comments along the lines of "[[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife Whatever plans I had to do anything productive today have pretty much been shot all to hell now]]."
182** Also "Don't click this link" or "Click if you dare" are common.
183** "Must...not...click..on...trope...link."
184* "Is it ''[[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya God Knows...]]''?" An illegal guess in the Anime Theme Song Game, where you have to guess the OP/ED ("God Knows" is an insert song).
185** [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya "Are there aliens/time travellers/espers?"]] Evidently, Haruhi's search criteria work pretty well in-game.
186* TropeName: TheMovie (or This is practically TropeName: The Movie!) as an alternative to TropeCodifier (usually cos it's taken).
187* '''[[color:purple: [[InterruptingMeme Too bad.]] [[Webcomic/BrawlInTheFamily Waluigi Time.]]]]'''
188* '''NOT UNPOPULAR!'''
189** Originally a response to OpinionMyopia in the "Unpopular Opinions" threads at the forum. Has since spread to memetic uses elsewhere.
190* "You needed to know this." A meme from [[Administrivia/TVTropesForum the forum's (now locked) "Trash Heap" thread]].
191* Full stop, full stop.
192* Whenever there's a link to something scary and/or disturbing someone is likely to write: "Yeah right, as if X could be really that bad-''HOLY SHIT'' ." or anything similar.
193* In the Fan Fic recs pages, the SturgeonsLaw phrase "The remaining ten percent is worth dying for," is replaced by something more suitable for the fandom. For example, [[Franchise/MassEffect "I'm commander Shepard and these are my favorite Fan Fictions on the internet."]] or [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion The Remaining ten percent is worth getting]] [[FanNickname tanged for.]] Or even [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic "Proof that the remaining ten percent is worth being sent to the moon for.]]
194* [[MindRape "My head is full of fuck."]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]In OTC, in a thread about CERN discovering a particle that may be faster than the speed of light, the scientific discussion rose to such a high level of theoretical science that this phrase became the go-to expression when someone didn't understand. It has been spreading slowly ever sense as OTC regulars use it as a sort of in-joke.[[/labelnote]]
195* [Insert Trope Here]: And how!
196** [Name], Just [Name]
197** Alternately: [Name}, Oh dear God [Name]!
198*** "God" is often replaced by [[OhMyGods whoever is considered a major deity]] in that related 'verse, most notably Arceus when discussing ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''.
199** [Name]: Boy ''howdy!''
200* Also TruthInTelevision! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A minor RunningGag on the Warp That Aesop page. When an aesop becomes something sufficiently dark, depressing and maybe, just maybe a little funny, this is the response to that aesop's warpedness...to put it another way, tropers are not a happy people.[[/labelnote]]
201* [[MemeticBadass LIME MAN!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the WebVideo/EchoChamber AlternateRealityGame, a typo on one of Mr. Administrator's tweets caused the creation of this fictional superhero, many hoping he'd be picked to guard the Wall.[[/labelnote]]
202* [[FlatWhat What.]]
203* [[IncomingHam Did someone order a Large Ham?]]
204* Administrivia/JustifyingEdit
205** To be fair, (insert sentence).
206** Granted, (insert sentence).
207* Using the word "befriend" or any similar term to refer to DefeatMeansFriendship.
208* BrainBleach is often mentioned.
209* You can watch here... [[NoExportForYou only if you are in America]]
210* 'Look no further than (strong example of trope)'. It's even on ''this'' page.
211* "Complaining About X You Don't Like".
212** "(Insert) fuel".
213* [[AC: IN SPACE!]] The formatting is strictly necessary.
214* Whenever the [[PainfulTransformation Stroggification]] scene in ''VideoGame/QuakeIV'' is mentioned, a link to it will be provided, often in a very cheerful manner. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJwyjWpP4XA Watch it here!]]
215* Despair in musical form [[labelnote:Explanation]]A description of Heavy Lobster's theme from ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Ultra''. Videos of it received quite a few comments referencing it until it was removed from NightmareFuel.{{Kirby}} due to new standards.[[/labelnote]]
216* And yes, this show ''does'', in fact, air on Creator/PBSKids.
