Would the Death Star scene in Episode IV count as one of these?

YYZ: I'd include a reference to that one Gnarls Barkley video here, but I don't know what to say.

Ununnilium: Why'ja take out "Get up on the hydra's back!"? It's from a good example of a Colossus Climb, and it's memetic.

Harpie Siren: Maybe they didn't get the refference... Go play the Kingdom Hearts series, people! I'd put it back, but this time say where the quote's from....


HeartBurn Kid: I'm wondering if we should add this to Truth In Televison. After all, anybody who has a cat has probably been on the receiving end of a Colossus Climb at least once...

Harpie Siren: Or a ferret...

Ununnilium: I'd say no, just because your cat's not trying to defeat you and rescue the Princess. (Well, as far as we know.)

Tanto: Yeah, I'm putting Truth In Television in the same category as The Oldest Ones In The Book for now: that is, way, way overused.

HeartBurn Kid: Ununnilium, apparently you don't know my cat very well. I can't speak for any princesses, but she definitely has times when she's trying to defeat me... :p

Dark Sasami: As for Truth In Television and The Oldest Ones In The Book being overused, as long as there aren't things in there that actually don't meet the criteria, I can't see how they're overused.

Ununnilium: HeartBurn Kid, well, that's a good point, but still. ``

Dark Sasami, there are examples in there which are only there due to waaaay overstretching the point of the trope.
Sci Vo: Was this named for Shadow of the Colossus? I don't want to assume.
Insanity Prelude: You said it needed sorting, so I sorted it. There were a couple I wasn't entirely sure about, so I hope I got them in the right categories.
