Basic Trope: A title that ends in a question mark.

  • Straight: A show called Questionspeaker?
  • Exaggerated: A show called Questionspeaker????
  • Downplayed: Questionspeaker has an episode named "Who Shot Alice?"
  • Justified: It's a show about someone who is very confused, and adding an question mark in the title would emphasize that the main character is confused.
  • Inverted:
  • Subverted: Questionspeaker? is a loud, noisy show.
  • Double Subverted: However, that was for one episode. The rest of the series is about people being confused.
  • Parodied: A show called I Am Very Confused???
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: A show called Questionspeaker
  • Enforced: The producer is trying to appeal to a curious audience, so he tells the writer to add an question mark to the title.
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: Characters in the series understand everything, rather than trying to ask questions as the title would suggest.
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
