I suppose I have a fair few media discoveries to thank/blame this website for. Thank you to everyone who keeps the wiki cool:
* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles''
* ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'' (first on the AscendedMeme page, weirdly enough)
* ''LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys''
* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius''
* ''Webcomic/BrawlInTheFamily''
* ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries''
* ''WebVideo/DragonballZAbridged'', and [[Creator/TeamFourStar by extension]] ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged''
** And then, via ''WebVideo/TFSAtTheTable'', that got me reading up on ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''
* ''Literature/SirAproposOfNothing''
* ''WebComic/TheOrderOfTheStick''
* ''Film/InBruges''
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' (Apparently there are characters other than [[XanatosGambit David Xanatos]] in it)
* ''RolePlay/WeAreAllPokemonTrainers''. I mean, it only exists on this site, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy it.
* ''WebVideo/SwordArtOnlineAbridged''
* Although I didn't get into ''Franchise/BlazBlue'' through this site, it definitely helped a lot [[JigsawPuzzlePlot figuring out what was going on]].

* ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub''
* ''Film/TheProducers''

* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}''

Website/TVTropes has quickly become the website I visit the most (after it was mentioned on WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall)... however, I use the internet so much that I consider it a replacement to television, you can take that statement for what it's worth.
* ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge''
* ''Webcomic/BrawlInTheFamily''
* ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' (in truth, Website/TVTropes was HALF of the reason I got into this show)
* ''WebVideo/FreemansMind''
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''
* ''Webcomic/{{Loserz}}''
* ''WebVideo/MarbleHornets''
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': After reading the pages for the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E1MareInTheMoon two]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E2ElementsOfHarmony part]] pilot at around 3AM in August (2011, at time of writing), I decided to look up the episodes on Platform/YouTube. And now I'm a brony. In fact, thanks to discovering their pages here, I also really love the following fan fics:
** ''FanFic/AhAintGotNoAckcent''
** ''FanFic/ItsADangerousBusinessGoingOutYourDoor''
** ''Fanfic/TheLightInTheDarkness''
** ''FanFic/OnACrossAndArrow''
** ''FanFic/ThePartyNeverEnded''
** ''FanFic/PastSins''
** ''FanFic/PonyPOVSeries''
** ''FanFic/TimeLordsAndTerror''
** ''Fanfic/TheVinylScratchTapes''
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''
* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' (Well... this and Website/{{Tumblr}}.)
* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros.'': I originally only had one game, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. But after I read the game series' page, I got '''really''' hooked, and now currently own all three games.
* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' (not 100% sure)

This is what the wiki is for - feeding my ArchiveBinge tendencies. I seem to seek out the little gems that no-one has heard of, and that I have a devil of a time convincing people to read/watch.
* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': Natch. I wasn't disappointed, either. I should say that it isn't anime - there's far too many Western animation elements for that. This also introduced me to shipping and the cracky goodness of CAPSLOCK livejournal communities.
* ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja''
* ''Anime/IrresponsibleCaptainTylor'': It's a crying shame this isn't well-known. I love Tylor.
* ''Runaways''
* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive''
* ''Comicbook/{{Empowered}}'': I really do read it for the story. My experience went like this: "Ooh sexy woman with clothing damage, must read." - Later - "Okay, fanservice that reduces the subject to a quivering wreck is not funny." - Later - "[[SugarWiki/{{WAFF}} Thugboy/Emp OTP for evah, yo!]]"
* ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}''
* ''ComicBook/PS238'': SugarWiki/NeedsMoreLove. ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' kids with superpowers, the Charlie Brown analogue is a WeirdnessMagnet, but receives training to survive. What's not to love?
* ''Literature/SailorNothing'': Was my first introduction to DarkerAndEdgier.
* ''Literature/TheActsOfCaine'': Had to resort to a sneaky copy, 'cause it isn't out in UK-land, but I'm glad I did.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'': I liked the sound of it, so I got a copy of this to watch it with my nephew.
* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': Was already a fan, but finding them was another matter.
* ''Manga/LuckyStar'': Read of Minoru's epic freakout and watched it just to see him go off. As a side-effect, I now have PSL for Kuroi-sensei and want to go to Japan to check out Maiden's Road.
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''
* Music/TomLehrer: "The Masochism Tango", what else? Thank you Website/TVTropes, for introducing me to his songs.
* ''Manga/NoBra'': Never have I felt so confused about my sexuality. Yuki... sexy... but... GUY! ...but ...sexy...
* ''Manga/OmamoriHimari'': Catgirls never did it for me, but aggressive, playful samurai catgirl? Yes.
* ''Manga/AquaKnight'': I was pleasantly surprised to see the author of ''Manga/BattleAngelAlita'' had tried his hand at LowFantasy, and done it ''well''.
* Fanfiction in general, specifically the FanficRecommendations for ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' and ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' ("Uninvited Guests" is the funniest fanfic ever. ''EVER'').
* ''Manga/TheLuciferAndBiscuitHammer'': {{Villain Protagonist}}s? In my whimsical end-of-the-world-is-nigh manga? It's more readable than you think.
* ''Literature/CiaphasCain'': Read its quote/entry on {{Dojikko}}, then the entry itself, then went straight out and bought the Hero of the Imperium collection. I'm becoming interested in tabletop TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} and the other novels as a side effect -- the RuleOfCool setting pleases me.
* ''Manga/MysteriousGirlfriendX'': Read the entry, thought the concept was weird, unique and cool, checked it out and started reading.
* ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'': From [[MundaneMadeAwesome What Do You Mean, It's Not Awesome?]]
* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'': I'd never watched this before apart from the movie, but now... well, all the quotes made me check it out, though I'm not masochistic enough to sit through really bad movies, even if they generated the best snarking. One of these days I will actually sit through a full episode rather than hunting out "Best-of" clips.
* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'': Can't remember where I read about it, but it was on this wiki.
* ''{{Series/Dollhouse}}'': Watched up to the third episode because it was a Whedon series, then dropped it because it didn't engage me. Gave it one more try when it started popping up in other entries, and pushed through to the other side of ep. 6.
* ''Manga/KimiNiTodoke'': The [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/conversations.php?topic=00000000000000000000002v forums]] were gushing about it, I checked it out, fell for it, ''hard'', and became that thread's most enthusiastic poster. Produced the most emotional reaction I've had to an anime ''ever''. A refreshingly straight love story -- no hilarious misunderstandings, no contrived stupidity and it makes ''sense''.
* ''Manga/AiKora'': ''Manga/LoveHina'' starring Great {{Fetish}} Pervert Onizuka. What's not to love?
* ''Manga/BGataHKei'': First episode is a living nightmare of ClicheStorm hell, but you soon pass through to the sweet sex comedy centre. Another forum find.
* ''Manga/BunnyDrop'': Wondering at the odd concept in the entry (someone raising his 6-year-old ''aunt''?), I began reading. What I got was an honest lesson in becoming an adoptive parent. It's the yang to ''Manga/{{Yotsuba}} Yotsuba's'' yin, especially as it averts NotAllowedToGrowUp.
* ''Manga/NanaAndKaoru'': Three people namechecked this, so what else could I do? I can [[SincerityMode honestly]] say it's been educational.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''/''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'': With all the quotes, I had to check them out -- I wasn't disappointed. It was very very very very very very very very very very *bonk* funny. My 8-year-old nephew loved it, though he liked PATB more.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'': And this was the one he liked most of all. Seriously, he ''wet himself laughing'' at Powdered Toast Man. I nearly joined him.
* ''Webcomic/ParaTen'': A watercoloured webcomic-cum-mood piece that doesn't resemble anything I've seen. The closest comparison would be ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus'' (SceneryPorn and loneliness).
* ''Anime/{{Himawari}}'': One offhand link in the forum led me to this. I would have never even imagined this existed, but here it is. Imagine a LighterAndSofter ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' but with all the cool ninja tricks intact. (Later) Ecch, only watch this if you have "Easily Amused" tattooed on your forehead. Looks nice, shows promise but NOTHING HAPPENS.
* ''Anime/{{Planetes}}'': In the "Hard SF" thread, the one series that kept popping up was this one. ONE episode - that's all it took for me to fall in fan-love.
* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'': I tried - really ''tried'' - not to add more webcomics to my daily list. This little slow-burner made me break that rule. Charming, eerie, expressive UrbanFantasy about a strange girl in a stranger school.
* ''Webcomic/{{Blip}}'': SugarWiki/NeedsMoreLove. What looks like "Breezily sarcastic slacker hangs out with her friends" reveals itself to be something more. You know how sometimes you have the feeling that Fate is holding you back? For her - it is.
* ''{{Webcomic/Erfworld}}'': Don't quite remember where, but one of the articles had a link. Tabletop RPG gamer gets transported to a 'game' world (or is it?). He soon discovers that it's not that much fun when you see people die in front of you. ''They'' discover that HumansAreCthulhu.
* ''Manga/KenichiTheMightiestDisciple'': Interesting fighting shonen manga that for once tries not to break WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief ''and'' has a female lead who ''isn't'' OvershadowedByAwesome.

* Quite a lot of WesternAnimation that I might not have watched otherwise. It introduced me to the very idea of a PeripheryDemographic: it might not be aimed at me, but if it's enjoyable enough, who cares?
** ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': I had seen some isolated season one episodes before, but after seeing it mentioned again and again on this site, I decided that it might be more than just another kids' show and started watching it from the start. Boy am I glad I did.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}''
** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Had I been told in the recent past that not only would I soon be watching a ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' show, but also greatly enjoy it, I would have laughed at the idea. However, after seeing it mentioned under PeripheryDemographic, I gave it a try and am now officially hooked.
** ''WesternAnimation/ObanStarRacers''
** ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats 2011}} [=ThunderCats (2011)=]]]''
** ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'': Another show that I was aware of, but that I was convinced to watch by this site. I still think the Guardian costumes look ridiculous, though.
* ''Webcomic/BetterDays'': Despite all of its flaws, I found it to be an interesting read.
* ''Literature/ChroniclesOfTheKencyrath''
* ''VideoGame/{{Eversion}}'': A real piece of art.
* ''Anime/{{Gankutsuou}}'': My first anime series.
* ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy'': Never managed to get very far, though.
* ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'', much to my dismay.
* ''Website/ChannelAwesome'': Another site that soaks up so much of my precious spare time...
* ''VideoGame/YouHaveToBurnTheRope''
* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}''

* ''Anime/SamuraiChamploo'': Having already seen ''Anime/CowboyBebop'', I just had to watch it.

* ''Anime/{{Noir}}''
* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'': Again, a combo of site references and friend's enthusiasm drew me.
* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''

[[/folder]]

[[folder: [[@/AMNK AM NK ]]
]]
* Webcomics in general, the main standout being ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt''. Through it I've also discovered plenty of other ones.
* This site helped me discover how awesome the music from ''Creator/ArcSystemWorks'' is, especially ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' and ''VideoGame/BlazBlue''.
* ProfessionalWrestling as a whole! I doubt I would find myself watching ''Wrestling/WWERaw'' every monday, ''Wrestling/WWESmackdown'' every tuesday, the [=PPVs=], and watching Platform/{{Youtube}} videos about wrestling on ''WebVideo/{{Cultaholic}}'', ''WebVideo/WhatCultureWrestling'' (and, for that matter, watching ''WCPW[=/=]Wrestling/DefiantWrestling'' shows) and ''WebVideo/WrestleTalk'' among other channels if not for this wiki.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: @/Anathema ]]

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': Well, the fact that Creator/DouglasAdams had worked for the show at one point and even used elements from his work there in ''Literature/DirkGentlysHolisticDetectiveAgency'' had already piqued my interest, but it was ultimately TV Tropes that got me to watching the show.
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': I'd never even heard of it before. Now not only am I addicted, my little brother heard me mention it and decided to have a look. He's a fan now too.
* Website/ChannelAwesome: Okay, I watched ''WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest'' as a child. I watched it a lot. Someone linked to WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic and WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick's review of it . . . and I was hooked to his reviews at least. I probably would have just spent my time watching reviews by the Nostalgia Critic and the Nostalgia Chick reviews if it wasn't for people on this wiki mentioning [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] . . . so I watched one episode of WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall, and was hooked. And given the number of crossovers with [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] and the awesomeness that is Doctor Insano, I was soon watching WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment as well. I now regularly watch the videos of several other Channel Awesome members as well.
* Webcomic/{{xkcd}}: I'd heard of it before, but it was TV Tropes that got me interested.
* ''Literature/ThursdayNext'': Okay, Jasper Fforde is now one of my favorite authors. I'd never even heard of him before.
* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'': Oddly enough, I started watching this because of the {{MST}}ed version of ''Literature/TheEyeOfArgon'' . . . the fact that anyone could turn anything that awful into anything that good in FanFic made it clear that the actual show must be pretty good.
* ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'': Why on earth would I want to watch a GagDub of a children's show that I've never watched about a card game I've never played and have no interest in? Gosh, a lot of people on TV Tropes seem to like it, and the first episode is only around four minutes, I might as well see what all the fuss is about . . . and the rest is history as they say.

TV Tropes helped introduce me to more anime and webcomics that I never heard of before. I also own a manga called "Happy Happy Clover" which I love reading.

* [[Anime/NyanpireTheAnimation The Gothic World of Nyanpire]]
** Ever since Halloween 2013, [[TwelveEpisodeAnime I decided to make a tradition to watch all 12 episodes of the anime.]] It's about black cat that is also part vampire. He befriends a fallen angel named Nyatenshi,a samurai cat named Masamunya, and has a brother named Chachamaru a Siamese cat that wears a pink bow. [[AnimatedAdaptation The anime is based on an ongoing manga series "The Gothic World of Nyanpire"]] which was created in 2009. To this day, [[TheMerch Nyanpire merchandise is still being sold in Japan,]] and is very popular with girls who are into goth. [[NoExportForYou I wish the original manga series got translated in English,]] since the merchandise in Japan features cats who we're never seen in the anime as well as giving more info between the characters.
* ''Webcomic/BitterSweetCandyBowl''
** I started reading the webcomic in the summer of 2013. It's basically Arthur but takes place in high school, it mostly focuses on two cats. A male cat with a named Mike, and a female cat named Lucy. My favorite characters is Sandy, and Lucy. The webcomic would sometimes get very dramatic, especially during the stories dealing with Mike and Lucky's relationship.

* Franchise/TheSmurfs - Because I'm looking forward to the 2016 reboot.

* WebVideo/GameGrumps - I enjoy seeing these guys doing discussions and playing video games. Leading to hilarious results.

* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic - One of my favorite internet reviewers, next to The Angry Video Game Nerd,AniMat, and The Cinema Snob

* Manga/ChisSweetHome

** One of the cutest anime and manga series I ever seen.

[[folder: @/Badgersprite ]]

* ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} - the original.
* ComicBook/FiftyTwo. And boy am I glad as this served as a GatewaySeries to the DC Universe in general, with the help of wiki pages here.
** ComicBook/GothamCitySirens - I hadn't even heard of until Website/TVTropes.
** ComicBook/GothamCentral likewise. In retrospect, I actually started reading this before ComicBook/FiftyTwo because I knew it was part of the backstory, and it came highly recommended, but while this got me back into comics, I'd say it was ComicBook/FiftyTwo that got me back into superheroes.
* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins''. I was considering buying it, but it wasn't until I read about it on the site that I got really excited for its Australian release.
* WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries. I'd watched it as a kid but reading entries about it is what made me watch the whole series again.
* Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha.
* Website/ChannelAwesome. It certainly pays to be the source of page quotes.
* Anime/CandyBoy.
* Series/{{Glee}}.
* ''Anime/MyOtome''. I'd seen ''Anime/MyHime'' before, but not ''Otome''. I wasn't too enticed by the prospect of an elseworlds story, until I read the entry page on it.
* Podcast/RiffTrax, and, by extension:
** Film/TheWickerMan2006
** Film/Plan9FromOuterSpace
** Film/TheHappening.
* Literature/{{Wicked}} (the novel)
* ''WebVideo/SailorMoonAbridged''. I think it was ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' that got me to Website/TVTropes in the first place, so it's suitable that it connected me to other abridged series.
** ''WebVideo/RoseOfVersaillesAbridged'' is what I'm currently watching.
* Webcomic/{{xkcd}}

* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'': Never would've known it had ever existed if not for this site. On June 28, 2013, at 6:26 PM Winnipeg time, the {{Creator/Netflix}} connection with the series finale, "[[Recap/FireflyE14ObjectsInSpace Objects in Space]]," terminated in my basement.
* ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'': I knew it was there and had tried it out once, but picking up in the middle of Season 2 was horribly unhelpful to me, so I gave it up. Then, just a couple of months later, people in my social circle commenced the name-dropping of it. Now that my family has Netflix, I have started watching it, and is it ever good! (Of course, the first three seasons have something of an UnintentionalPeriodPiece aspect to them, but I don't complain about that.)
* ''Series/{{Community}}'': Like ''Arrested Development'', it was popular at my high school. Like ''Firefly'', I never knew it had existed.
** Heck, this could apply to ''all'' the scripted live-action TV I've watched recently.

* Before discovering Website/TVTropes I really disliked anime due to believing most of them have extremely dark and depressing plot, and I thought I would never like or even watch anything in the entire anime medium. That is not until I started seeing some anime works I had herd of and knows a little on tropes pages, I realize that most my prejudice against Anime are false and ArchiveBinge ensues.
** ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': while not technically an Japanese anime, it is the first show TV Tropes introduced to me.
** ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'' and ''Anime/ACertainScientificRailgun''
** ''Literature/DateALive''
** ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya''
** ''Franchise/{{Neptunia}}'' I ended up buying all the games even before I finished the first one.
** ''Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon'' This became the first Light Novel I actually bought.
** ''Literature/IsThisAZombie''
** ''Anime/WaitingInTheSummer''
** ''Literature/BenTo''
** Works by Creator/MakotoShinkai (Other than ''Anime/FiveCentimetersPerSecond'' and ''Anime/YourName'')
** As a side effect, Website/MyAnimeList and many wikis about those anime.
* Nowadays whenever I discover something new I just come here to do some trope research before watching any new anime... just to realize that I've been seeing them in trope examples in multiple pages. Examples:
** ''Literature/HowToRaiseABoringGirlfriend''
** ''Literature/MyYouthRomanticComedyIsWrongAsIExpected''
** ''Manga/{{Nisekoi}}''
** ''Literature/{{Toradora}}''
** ''Literature/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove''
** ''Literature/KonoSuba''
** ''Literature/BeyondTheBoundary''
** ''Literature/{{Hyouka}}''
* Other works I found of TV Tropes are usually from trope images, or because seeing them way too many time in examples on many pages.
** ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse''
** ''Website/{{Cracked}}''
** ''Website/KnowYourMeme''
** ''Webcomic/VGCats''
** ''Webcomic/{{Nedroid}}''

[[folder: @/Blake Is Here ]]

* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'': I already heard of it, but TV Tropes really got me into it.
* ''Series/{{Tweenies}}'': I used to watch it as a child, but TV Tropes got me back into it.
* ''Creator/ChuckECheese'': Yes, I got into Chuck E. Cheese of all things, despite being British.
* ''Platform/GoAnimate'': Ironically, due to a lot of the videos being filled with {{Narm}} and are SoBadItsGood.
* Anything that's SoBadItsGood or DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible in general really, thank god this is a SubTrope of SugarWiki/TVTropesWillEnhanceYourLife and not JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife.
* ''Webcomic/{{Polandball}}'': Also because of NostalgiaFilter.
* ''WebVideo/BackstrokeOfTheWest'': [[MemeticMutation Do not want!]]
* ''Website/ChannelAwesome''
* ''Franchise/StarWars'': Got me back into the franchise as a whole.
* The ''[[VideoGame/LegoAdaptationGame Lego Adaptation Games]]'': Also because of NostalgiaFilter and MemeticMutation.
* ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'': Ironically, also because I feel bad for the show having a huge PeripheryHatedom.

** ''Manga/DoctorSlump'' (It sounds like a series my inner 8-year-old self would love to read/watch. And it's by Creator/AkiraToriyama.)
** ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist''
** ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' (came across it through a video example for OverlyLongScream. Probably the hardest I've ever laughed!)
** ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' (great [[UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic quarantine]] entertainment!)
** ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' (Knew a bit about it through 2000s PopCulturalOsmosis [and my cousin used to read the manga], but TV Tropes made me check it out)
** ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''
* ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman''
* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' (TV Tropes renewed my appreciation of it after a few years as a kid. I learned about ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' and ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' here.)
* ''VideoGame/YouHaveToBurnTheRope''
* Several fics from the FanFicRecommendations pages, including the ''Sonic'' LetsWatchOurShowPlot fic ''My Arms are Blue''.
* ''WebAnimation/TerribleWritingAdvice''
* ''Animation/SquirrelAndHedgehog'' (I can't believe this has an uncut English dub starring two Creator/FourKidsEntertainment alumni! Very unintentionally hilarious!)
