Brass Troper: a TV venue

You'll pick up on this idea immediately if you're familiar with these two words: Iron Chef. You can skip the next paragraph.

Iron Chef is a TV program that features a cooking competition. They have a stable of world-class chefs. Each week a challenger appears and picks one chef from the stable. They are given a secret ingredient and, in one hour, must create a series of dishes incorporating that ingredient. A panel of judges, drawn from other chefs, food reviewers, and celebrities, tastes the dishes and renders a verdict.

So. I propose a TV program (on a network to be determined) in which a challenger appears and, given a random trope, creates a story built around that trope. The medium may be specified as part of the challenge, or they may express the trope in a set group of media.

Talk amongst yourselves.

Hell, I'd watch it.

It wouldn't work. Tropes are tools, not bricks or mortar. You use them as necessary to make a story work, you don't use a story as necessary to make them work. Once in a while, a particularly talented person might be able to make a decent story out of them, but ninety-nine times out of a hundred, it would be one big cliche with a bunch of little cliches around it.
