And, therefore, it is safe to conclude that without parody infomercials, TV Tropes would be just like it. You can thank us, and help us on our mission, by re-writing unrelated tropes as if you were selling them. Don’t forget to use gratuitous exclamation marks whenever making product claims! We love that in advertising.
