'''Basic Trope''': A crowd is in danger of exploding into riot.
* '''Straight''': The subjects of Troperville gather around the castle hoping for word that the king will send aid to a disasterous fire caused by soldiers. An officious guard tries to order them off, and someone throws a rock. The crowd follows the lead, beating up the guards, smashing up the windows, and spreads out.
* '''Exaggerated''': The subjects gather to hear the king's speech, the princess, waiting, sneezes, and they erupt into a riot that spreads throughout the kingdom, resulting in its becoming a wasteland and killing all within.
* '''Downplayed''': The crowd listening to the king growls a little when he talks, but disburses afterwards.
* '''Justified''':
** The king has a long history of causing and not compensating for trouble.
** The king wasn't informed of the issues the crowd had until it was already too late.
* '''Inverted''': Ivan attempts to incite a rebellion among the poor - however the latest prince is too compassionate and the mob not only cheers but end up recruited!
* '''Subverted''': The crowd is angry and shouting but never break out into a riot.
** The crowd is ready to riot, but [[TheSocialExpert Faye]] successfully de-escalates the situation.
* '''Double Subverted''': Until a glory seeking guard captain tries to break it up and [[KickTheDog shoots a pregnant woman.]] The crowd ensures that things end poorly for him.
* '''Parodied''': No one can even ''remember'' why they're doing this!
* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': The citizens of Troperville don't start a riot.
* '''Enforced''': The producers demanded that the movie adaptation be DarkerAndEdgier so the crowd of protesters that join the heroes end up rioting.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Mr. Lulz, there's a big unruly crowd here to see you."
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': Thieves use the rioting as a distraction and rob the palace.
* '''Defied''':
** The mob's leader points out how stupid dealing with chaos by causing more chaos is.
** The police does not even lets it become a riot. Their act of PoliceBrutality to gather the crowd is so lightning-fast and excessive than by the time handful of people that will survive catch on, all they can do is run.
** The people decide to walk away and get drunk/high/laid/[[ApatheticCitizens pretend it's not their problem]] rather than deal with the complex mechanics and various pains of being part of a riot.
* '''Discussed''': "Oh, look, another riot. Must be Monday."
* '''Conversed''': ???
