• Straight: The characters in Alice and Bob love to watch a show called Troperz.
• Exaggerated:
  • Every episode in Alice and Bob covers Troperz full-time, with the characters discussing its plot.
  • Troperz has its own Show Within A Show, which in turn has another Show Within A Show.
• Downplayed: One time, Alice said she had to go so she wouldn't miss Troperz.
• Justified: Showing Alice and Bob being on all the time nicks Willing Suspension of Disbelief so in their down time they watch Troperz.
• Inverted: Alice and Bob is occasionally shown to be a TV show watched by people in the "real" world.
• Subverted:
  • People on Alice and Bob mention "watching tropers". We find out it's not a TV show; they like to stare through the window while people edit TV Tropes.
  • Troperz is a very popular show within the Alice and Bob universe, but only for one season.
• Double Subverted: ...However, in later seasons it gets good, so they watch it again.
• Parodied: The show within a show is a Stylistic Suck that is actually called "Show within a Show."
• Zig Zagged: The characters in Alice and Bob love to watch a show called Troperz. However, they end up addicted, so the show is canceled. That is, until it gets defictionalized.
• Averted: Troperz is not shown/mentioned within the Alice and Bob universe, not even in a minor situation.
• Enforced: Alice and Bob is a Slice of Life show.
• Lampshaded: "How does this show air?"
• Invoked: See Enforced.
• Exploited: Troperz is used to pass secret messages without The Empire finding out.
• Defied: Alice and Bob try to avoid watching Troperz at all costs.
• Discussed:
  Alice: Troperz is on in 5 minutes! I love that show!
• Conversed: "Hey, at least they're trying to be realistic for once..."
• Deconstructed: Troperz ends up popular enough to be defictionalized.
• Reconstructed: The characters in Alice and Bob try to keep Troperz on the air.
• Untwisted: Show Within a Show Within A Recursive Reality.
