Basic Trope: A character's browsing history contains some embarassing entries.
- Straight: Alice hacks into Emperor Evulz' computer, and discovers that his search history has instances of porn.
- Exaggerated:
- Downplayed: Emperor Evulz search history contains instances that clash with his dark feel, but not too embarassing.
- Justified: The Internet Is for Porn
- Inverted: Everyone except Emperor Evulz has an embarrassing browser history.
- Evulz has a squeaky clean history. He hides this so that he fits in better with his more depraved coworkers.
- Subverted: Alice checks Emperor Evulz' search history on Google Chrome, but finds nothing.
- Double Subverted: And then she checks Internet Explorer...
- Zig Zagged: Emperor Evulz doesn’t have any porn in his Google Chrome search history, but Alice finds that his Internet Explorer search history is quite incriminating. Evulz turns out to have multiple browsers with histories that are incriminating to different degrees.
- Parodied: Emperor Evulz' search history is full of Poor Man's Porn.
- Averted: Evulz clears his browser history.
- Enforced: “You know what would be funny? What if the Big Bad had a browser history full of porn?”
- Implied: Alice sneaks onto Evulz’ computer, though the screen is never shown. She is seen completely white in the next scene.
- Logical Extreme: Evulz’ browser histories (yes, there are multiple), personal emails, chat logs and Steam games are all porn.
- Lampshaded: “Evulz would be quite embarrassed if this got leaked…”
- Invoked: General Drake Halgar fills Evulz’ browser history with porn for shits and giggles.
- Defied: Evulz doesn’t use his computer to find/consume porn to avoid playing this trope straight.
- Exploited: Alice uses the threat of leaking Evulz’ browser history as a bargaining chip after capturing him.
- Discussed: “Is it just me or does Evulz seem like the type of person to have a really weird browser history?”
- Conversed: “Huh, the Big Bad has a porn-filled browser history. Who could have seen that coming?”
- Untwisted: Bob accuses Evulz of having an Embarrassing Browser History without a shred of evidence. When Alice sneaks onto Evulz’ computer, it’s revealed that Bob was right.
- Unparodied: Alice is amused by the fact that Evulz’ browser history is full of Poor Man's Porn, and clicks on one of the links. Turns out that he’s been looking at bizarre fetish content that just so happens to be named similarly to typical Poor Man's Porn. Alice doesn’t take this sight well.
- Played for Horror:
- Alice finds child porn on Evulz’ computer.
- Alice finds a website filled with snuff films that Evulz stars in.
- Alice finds child porn of herself on Evulz’ computer and remembers that Evulz kidnapped her when she was a kid and made her act in porn films.
