Playing With / The Anti-Grinch

Go To

Basic Trope: Someone who loves Christmas, but something goes wrong when they try to celebrate it.

  • Straight: Noel loves Christmas, but she doesn't quite understand how it works. She tries to put on a big celebration, which goes horribly wrong.
  • Exaggerated: Noel loves all holidays, and always tries to do something cool for them, which always ends up backfiring.
  • Downplayed: Noel mostly understands what Christmas is about, but gets a little carried away with the decorations, and gets her friends lots of gifts that they dislike or otherwise don't want.
  • Justified:
  • Inverted: Noel is The Grinch and tries to ruin Christmas for everyone, only to accidentally make it better in the process.
  • Subverted: ???
  • Double Subverted: ???
  • Parodied: ???
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: Noel celebrates Christmas without anything going wrong.
  • Enforced: "We should have a conflict in the Christmas Episode without a typical Grinch. Why don't we have someone with good intentions trying to make Christmas better for everyone, only to accidentally make it worse?"
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???

Back to The Anti-Grinch! Did I do it right?... oh, crap.
