HeartBurn Kid: Wait, now that we've discussed Chekovs Gun, does that mean, by the rule of Chekhovs Gun, that it's going to become significant in the near future?
Seth: Whats with this page?
Silent Hunter: I'm not entirely sure.
Paul A: It's a redirect to Chekhovs Gun created by somebody who should have been in bed hours ago. (G'night, all.)
Ununnilium: Hah hah, awesome.
Seth: I approve
Scrounge: Ironically enough, I think what we have here is a Red Herring.
Sockatume: You Magnificent Bastard.
cg12345: Seconded. I think you broke my brain.
Ruthie A: May I say that, by virtue of being a Star Trek Nerd and a TV Tropes addict, I find this page incredibly amusing. Doug S. Machina: This amuses me too. Good work. Random Troper: I love it Cassius335: Conversation In The Main Page
Socran: To whomever added the Buffy line... Kudos. fleb: Seconded. Cutting the other two that have appeared, though. **Subverted in Babylon 5, where Chekov's, or rather, Bester's, gun was a Chekhov's gun. Sure enough, he fired it in the third act, and gravely wounded the character of Ironheart.
* Played straight in an episode of The Simpsons. Probably.
Egregious Eric: There's a bunch more unrelated ones now. Should they be removed?
<random visitor>: It occurs to me that this might actually make a valid trope to describe the unused (or ineffective) weapons in Mexican standoffs and all manner of martial-arts movies. Grimace: Naah. I like it how it is - I keep misspelling "Chekhovs Gun" and stumble upon this page, and it always brings a smile to my face. You may have a valid trope on your hands though. Devils Advocate: It would be awesome if someone could find an example of "Gun's Chekov" (or even "Gunn's Chekov") which could be listed as an inversion here. Devils Advocate: Brilliant! All hail Blork! Nerdorama: TV Tropes: world's largest intentional irony deposit. OODavo: Chekhovs Gun is a Chekhovs Gun, right? Master Hand: Brilliant page. A little anecdote from me here: when I first found the Chekhov's Gun page, I didn't notice the spelling and conveniently skipped over most of the trope description, which made me think that there must have been some Star Trek movie or episode I never saw where Chekov's gun ended up being important. I eventually figured everything out when this page was created, but I find it amusing in retrospect. Meshakhad: Upon reading this page, I laughed for two minutes straight.
Inkblot: Why shouldn't this be replaced with a redirect to Chekhovs Gun? Mr Death: Because a lot of people do find it funny; it is in Just For Fun, after all. Plus, there doesn't seem to be any discussion about it either here or on the forums. All I could find was from the other Discussion page, which I'll just repost since it's relevant here:
Dragon Quest Z: No Just No. This should not be cut. It's a fun page. If anything, make it a Sugar Wiki thing, but leave it here. CAD: Again with the cutlisting? Why all the hate for such a harmless and funny page? Madrugada: How many times has this been cutlisted, anyway? Yes, it's a joke page. That's why it's in the Just For Fun section. Oonerspism: This has been put up like three times and it was rejected each time. Can we seriously be done with it now? Some Sort Of Troper: I think that the straight aversion jokes are only really funny if it is truly in the top tiers of Trope Overdosed- that is the Trope Saturated (3,500 wicks or more) and Trope Overloaded (2,000 - 3,499 Wicks) shows. Mr Death: Cut it out, Inkblot. The last time you tried to make it a redirect, the admins stepped in to fix it. Every single time you've cutlisted it, it's been rejected. The clear consensus here on this discussion page is that it should stay as it is. So why do you keep trying to erase it? |
