troper tales

You know that guy who has to beat everyone else's story, even if it means going to such insane reaches that he's either Jesus or lying? We have entire pages of that! I was considering doing a live blog of some of these but honestly the pages speak for themselves.

My new favorite.

Most troper tales are really good and funny though.

Why do we have to discuss the shitty ones?

Because they Cross the Line Twice, making it even funnier.

Most troper tales are just sorta dull. Like, I really am not interested in some random teenager's D&D campaign.

yeah, I agree with Merton.

We should ban all examples unless it actually happened.

Not a RP example, something that happened here.

No one cares, nerds. No one.

Is this a stealth IJBM thread or is that more like the "Edit Banned" one?

I think the intent behind this thread was, "post your favorite Troper Tales so we can laugh at them together," so the latter.

It's becoming one.

I like troper tales. I think they're entertaining.

This is one of the few that managed to amuse me:

Because this troper always had the luxury of a personal laptop he never felt like trying anything fancy with his over 80 megs of porn. Unfortunately he forgot to wipe the hard drive when he sold said laptop.

80 megs? What are you, fucking Amish?

This is this Troper's fetish

Actually, he has a point. Everyone has the potential to do good or evil deeds.

On everything else, he's a complete skinhead fruitcake.

Only one I've ever liked was Porn Stash.

Some of them on True Art Is Incomprehensible are good.

Actually, RP examples are the only things that saved some of the pages, so they probably will keep them.

I think the person was saying that even the most evil of people can have positive traits. S/he probably wasn't saying that those good things balance out the bad.

Anyway, I'm not a fan of Troper Tales, but then again, most of the ones I've seen are complaint-based ones (Pet Peeve Trope, Hype Aversion, the now-deleted Hype Backlash, etc.), so maybe I need to see some of the better pages. One that I like is Critical Backlash, but even that one has some complaining in it...

As corny as it sounds, I credit Critical Backlash for making me not feel alone in liking the much-maligned Cardcaptors dub, so I can't hate all Troper Tales. Though considering the worst ones are getting deleted or curated, they seem to be headed for Mostly Harmless territory.

from the A Darker Me tales

This troper becomes this when in a bad mood. Amazingly, his bad mood once consumed him for about a year, as he woke up and felt like he was 13 again (for comparison, back when I was 13, I was happily listening to folk music and not wanting to listen to anything else. During that time, I listen to mostly a combination of rock and metal, with no folk at all) and, looking back on the year, realised he had barely been himself. To this day, I have absolutely no idea what brought that on. For the concerned, I'm better now and basically the best of both.

Yes, we were concerned because you shifted musical preferences, thank god your back to normal.

from the Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness tales.

This Troper has been known to lapse into the realm of Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness every now and then, usually attempting to explain the context of his object of contemplation in such a way that it leaves little or no room for misconception by the possibly less knowledgeable audience and often resulting in sentences of such exasperating length and riddled with such florid figure of speech which is in worst case augmented by a multitude of esoteric expressions that the poor listener (and all too often, this troper himself) has long forgotten what the original subject was by the time this troper has finished his extensive soliloquy.

Man, I love teenagers trying to sound smart, it warms that little fire in my heart.

Yep, we can rest assured that his interest in good music was only a passing phase.
