1 | '''Basic Trope''': An object colored red will appear to move more quickly than normal. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Bob's racecar is red. It regularly outruns other racecars that are not also red. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Even though every other car in the race is red, Bob's racecar is ''candy'' apple red, so he still wins. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': Bob manages to beat [[BigBad Emperor Evulz]] with an identical-model racecar by a few milliseconds because his is red. |
5 | * '''Justified''': |
6 | ** The red paintjob is new. Bob's racecar was always the fastest. |
7 | ** The race takes place in a simulation where paint job customisation affects stats. Red reduces air resistance and therefore increases speed. |
8 | ** You don't need as thick a coating to get full red as for getting full green, blue or whatever, which means less weight to hold the engine back. [[note]]Even if it only increases speed by 0.1%.[[/note]] |
9 | ** [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 DA RED WUNZ GO FASTA CUZ DEY IZ RED, N' RED FINGS GO FASTA, YA GITZ!!]] |
10 | * '''Inverted''': Bob's car is red, and [[TheAllegedCar the slowest]]. |
11 | * '''Subverted''': Bob's red racecar is the second fasted car on the track, after the blue one. |
12 | * '''Double Subverted''': But the other red cars are the fastest. |
13 | * '''Parodied''': Bob's racecar is not only red, but is covered with flame decals and leaves flame trails and a visible Redshift where it drives. |
14 | * '''Zig Zagged''': The red paint's speed-enhancing powers randomly turn on and off at the start of each race. |
15 | * '''Averted''': Bob's racecar is the fastest one on the track. It's also green. |
16 | * '''Enforced''': The rules say that the fastest car in the race must always be painted red. |
17 | * '''Lampshaded''': "That red car looks like it goes the fastest." |
18 | * '''Invoked''': Before the big race, Bob changes the color scheme of his car and paints it red. |
19 | * '''Exploited''': Every racer paints their car red in order to go faster. |
20 | * '''Defied''': |
21 | ** The only person who doesn't paint their car red wins because now they stand out from the crowd. |
22 | ** Bob's red racecar consistently breaks down. |
23 | ** Bob's sense of honour prevents him from abusing red paint to beat his opponents. |
24 | * '''Discussed''': "We should really paint Bob's car red for the big race; everyone knows the red ones go faster." |
25 | * '''Conversed''': |
26 | ** "That doesn't make sense, how can something like a paint job make things go faster? |
27 | ** [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 SHUT IT YA GIT!!]] |
28 | * '''Deconstructed''': Every racer paints their car red in order to go faster. |
29 | * '''Reconstructed''': In response, the racetracks are constructed with many more corners than before. Only skilled drivers can take advantage of the speed boost of red paint without totaling their car. |
