Narrative

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. |
