{{RealSindri}}: I don't want to start a flame war, that's why I want to know your opinion before I edit the article: Don't you think Hitler's whole way of speaking is one big narm-moment?

{{Phartman}}: I don't like to be a hardass, but {{MASH}} was set during the Korean War, not 'Nam.
FastEddie: [[strike:Nothing in the article said anything about {{MASH}}, anonymous person. Check yer meds.]] Woops. My bad. didn't follow the link.
MisterSix: Damn. I knew I should've checked that one. Thanks, hardass!

{{Tanto}}: Placing this entry in MoreLikeAFootnoteThanAnythingElse may well be the single funniest thing in the long and storied history of things.
MisterSix: Aw, thanks. I just wish I'd done it intentionally. :P

Apparently, back in the fifties (even before I was born, I'm afraid, but you can still find some of it on DVD's or sometimes they show some of it on the History Channel) some of this was actually set in the Korean War, even before "MASH" decided to use that setting. A number of characters from that period are still in it today. So I think that we have to say that in fact "surviving the Korean War" IS something that happens in "Real Life". It is also interesting how "Real Life" was the first to use many, if not most, of the standard historical settings before other media picked them up and improved them so much. I also think you should mention how long "Real Life" has run, it's really rather impressive.--KEVP
{{Gemmifer}}: I pulled out "{{Flanderization}}: During the lead up to the World War Two arc, the Germans were flanderized from a nationalistic but well-meaning people to a ruthlessly evil empire, throwing out a lot of the series' trademark moral ambiguity on the way." because, as a German I take offense at the notion that Germans are, or ever were, evil as a people.
It says "ruthlessly evil ''empire''". Are you going to say that the WWII German Empire (well, the attempt at one) was not evil? Or are you just not very good at reading comprehension?
LordSeth: I'm trying to think of a good example for a WallBanger, but the ones I think of are either kind of controversial (like, say, the re-election of George Bush) or seem like borderline DeadBabyComedy (for example, I could list the Holocaust, but that seems like exploiting a tragedy for a laugh). Any suggestions?
{{Haven}}: Maybe "some characters have this reaction to the [[ShowWithinAShow Shows Within The Show]]"? but I'm not fond of that construction.
Although from the point of view of someone watching RealLife as a show, you'd see a lot of [[AbortedArc aborted arcs]] and [[ShaggyDogStory shaggy dog stories]], which would certainly be WallBanger s. I unno.

Jonn: I think the page for the webcomic Real life should just be Webcomic/RealLife, much like the [[IronMan comic book]] and [[Film/IronMan film]] versions of IronMan are distinct. I've noticed that to comic doesn't have a page, due to title conflict with the RealLife page.
Sockman: i don't understand which people are described here
"and even the Crazy Awesome Mad Scientist from the Restoration Arc (and his later counterparts in the World War I and World War II storylines) is still considered important."
{{Igordebraga}}: If Restoration = Renaissance, Da Vinci. Einstein is one of the two remaining. Who the third might be?
Nosferatu5: In my humble opinion, the WWII guy is Einstein and the WWI guy is NikolaTesla. However, I am not quite sure.

HighFive: Is CrapsackWorld ''really'' "the default setting for most of the human race"? Geez.

Regarding poaching... as a chronically unemployed person who has faced the possibility of homelessness in a strange city and had to go hungry once or twice so his pets didn't have to, I can certainly sympathize with the downtrodden whose only real option for survival is poaching, it doesn't make it any better, but I can sympathize with almost, if not as much as I sympathize with the animals. Needless to say, it's the people who drive the demand and actually profit from poachign whom my ire and hatred are truely directed towards.

{{Praetyre}}: Cut the ill-researched BlessedWithSuck entry on autism. It's, at best, ignorant {{Flanderization}} of a serious mental disorder.

KillerClowns: Somebody who reckons themselves a writer should seriously consider writing a satirical review for RealLife. Do it well enough, you'll likely earn a MadeOfWin or two.
ShayGuy: There's a positive one [[http://www.gamespot.com/gamespot/features/all/gamespotting/071103minusworld/1.html here]].

Examples are based on TheBible used as an example in TheRealWorld are [[InvokedTrope invoked]] or [[DiscussedTrope discussed]] tropes and should be specified as such. {{Satan}}, for example has been credited with much but hasn't actually done anything with certainty, including making an actual appearance (as himself). Plenty of others qualify as [[BigBad Big Bads]], though.

InsanityPrelude: [[strike:I heard this got cutlisted? I'm just here to defend it as something I got quite a few laughs out of...]] Oh, they were talking about the {{Wall Banger}}s page for it. Nevermind then.
