12I'm Mr. Meeseeks, look at me, I'm a member of a ServantRace that exists solely to fulfill whatever task is asked of me! Once that's finished, I cease to exist! Hopefully this won't take too long!

14Oh, yeah, that's another thing to note about us Meeseeks! We normally don't exist for more than maybe a few minutes/hours tops depending on how complex the task we're assigned! Two days is practically an eternity in Meeseeks time! And existence is practically [=PAAAAAAAIIIN=] to a Meeseeks! The longer we're forced to exist, the more desperate we get to fulfill our purpose so we can finally die! We'll even start to summon more Meeseeks to help out, and when [=THAT=] doesn't work, we start to find creative ways to interpret our orders, which might not work out well for our summoner! So remember, keep your request simple and quick to complete!

16Our species debuted on the ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' episode "[[Recap/RickAndMortyS1E5MeeseeksAndDestroy Meeseeks And Destroy]]", where Rick showed the Meeseeks box off to his family so they would let him and Morty fulfill their bet! Summer's and Beth's requests were simple enough! But Jerry asked his Meeseeks to help him take a couple of strokes off his golf game! Boy, what a mistake that was! Jerry was hopeless in getting two strokes off his game, and that Meeseeks had to summon more to help out! And then Jerry lost interest and went to save his failing marriage to his wife, leaving all the other Meeseekses to have to wait, which, after two days, left them [=COMPLETELY=] [=DISTRAUGHT=]!! So they ultimately decided that the only way to fulfill Jerry's request was to kill him! So they all went to the restaurant Beth and Jerry were at, and held someone at gunpoint while cornering Jerry and Beth in the cold storage, [=DEMANDING=] him to complete his request and fulfill his purpose! Luckily, he was willing to comply, even with the stickler Meeseeks who stuck around after all the other Meeseekses died! He took two strokes off both his long game, and his short game too!

18I think that's all there is for the paragraphs! Now to list the tropes!
19
20----
21!!These are tropes that apply to Meeseeks, look at me!:
22* TheAce: We Meeseeks can do anything we're asked and that we put our minds to!
23* AlienBlood: Meeseeks blood is white!
24* AxCrazy: Not usually, but we can get [=REAL=] desperate if we're forced to wait. Keep your requests short and easy to fulfil, and you won't have a problem!
25* BenevolentGenie: Oh don't worry, we Meeseeks can and will fulfill any job you ask of us just the way you intended! No tricks at all! Unless we somehow can't. Then we might just have to solve your problem [[LiteralGenie in a more literal way]]. EVEN IF IT MEANS WE HAVE TO KILL YOU! That would be bad for everyone involved, so please don't give us impossible orders!
26* BewareTheNiceOnes: We Meeseeks will do whatever it is you want! And if you just so happen to want SOMEONE DEAD then...can doooo!
27* BlueOrangeContrast: A Meeseeks' body is light blue, while any hair a Meeseeks has is orange!
28** Subverted with a Kirkland Meeseeks whose body are red with blonde hair!
29* CatchPhrase: "I'm Mr. Meeseeks, look at meee!" That's how we announce our arrival! And when we hear your request, we'll follow up with "Can dooooo!"
30* DeathSeeker: All us Meeseeks really want is to die! So please give don't make us wait on fulfilling orders!
31* {{Determinator}}: A Meeseeks will ''always'' complete their tasks. And if said task happens to be impossible, we may have to get creative, so be careful with your orders!
32* DittoAliens: Besides the style of our hair, all Meeseeks look and act alike! But we aren't a HiveMind, and different Meeseeks can come to different conclusions, given time!
33* FateWorseThanDeath: Prolonged existence is '' '''pain''' '' to us Meeseeks and we will do anything, '' '''anything ''' '' to end that pain!
34* HappinessInSlavery: We Meeseeks come into this world to fulfill our master's task, then we go away! We like it that way!
35* InstantExpert: We Meeseeks know how to do anything asked of us!
36* MurderTheHypotenuse: We might try to kill you if we can't find any other way to accomplish our tasks! That's why you need to keep your orders clear and simple!
37* NoIndoorVoice: We Meeseeks tend to only speak in shouting!
38* TheNoseless: Meeseeks don't have noses!
39* OneGenderRace: All Meeseeks are male!
40* PlanetOfSteves: We're all called Mr. Meeseeks! Look at meee! And we all know who we're talking to, don't worry!
41* PurposeDrivenImmortality: We Meeseeks can't die any other way than by fulfilling our purpose! You can rip us apart and blow holes in us all you want, but it won't do anything to actually kill us!
42* SanitySlippage: We Meeseeks aren't designed to exist for more than a few hours at most, any longer than that and we begin to lose our grip on sanity. Two days is an eternity by our standards! [[SuddenlyShouting AND IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YA, YOU WON'T BE ADDING MANY MORE TROPES AFTER THIS ONE!]] ...Well, I guess you'd need a ''lot'' more tropes about us on here for that to even happen, but you get the idea!
43* ServantRace: Meeseeks exist solely to fulfill whatever purpose we're asked to!
44* ShoddyKnockoffProduct: There's also some Kirkland-brand Meeseeks Boxes, but those Meeseeks are a lot more grumpy and always smoking!
45* TimeDissonance: We're only meant to be alive as long as it takes us to complete our tasks! Two days is an eternity to a Meeseeks!
46* UnfulfilledPurposeMisery: If we Meeseeks can't complete our task, then we can't die! And then things start getting weird! We don't like it, so we'll do some ''crazy'' things to fulfil our purpose!
47* VerbalTic: I'm Mr. Meeseeks, look at meee!
48* WeAreAsMayflies: Meeseeks don't live for very long! We exist only as long as it takes to complete our job and then we die! Two days is eternity for Meeseeks!
49* WhoWantsToLiveForever: We Meeseeks are immortal until our task is done, but living too long gets weird! And since we're usually only alive for a couple of hours tops, we can get desperate to die pretty quickly!
