Entries that make you go "Lol"

I miss the original description for Shaggy and Scooby Doo Get A Clue. It described the show, but like halfway in:

-Hey, where you going!? Come on, it's not that bad!

And in general, any page written by a person who clearly doesn't give a shit, since it's funny how blunt they are.

That line did sound very snarky, though. Any kind of writing that pokes fun at a work is considered part of the Complaining spectrum.

The page image for Suicidal Overconfidence.

Initially I thought it was a poor, undemonstrative picture that didn't make clear who was the overconfident one.

Then I so the kill count meter at the bottom, which made me laugh.

From Lead Bassist:

Kip Winger was his band's lead singer and lancer (The Hero, of course, was Winger's hair).

This one entry on Stage Names in regards to Alice Cooper:

Sadly, first-person wording is not allowed in the wiki articles, so I had to get rid of it.

That's unfortunate. I like the idea of TV Tropes being written as if it were your friend, talking about shows to you.

At the same time, constant first-person usage would get very confusing since it's never really clear which troper is "speaking".

There's something oddly innocent and wholesome about the image caption on The Scream.

I just love the name Two Words: I Can't Count. It's a clever name for a trope, in my opinion. XD

Here is a list: Anything relating to Bathos, Turbine Blender, Explosive Decompression, and most self-demonstrating articles. The reason for half? Pure narm.

Of all the things on this wiki, I'd reckon the first Real Life entry on You Cannot Kill An Idea is one of the most insidious things I've ever come across.

We should try to ban real life examples from that article.

Ah, good catch. It looks nicer now and I think the joke communicates with more subtlety now, so good job!

No, but there were a couple pieces of natter in it, including one responding to the entry you cited, so I removed them.

This entry on Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!:

• You. Quit wiki walking and get back to work.

I just discovered this trope and cracked up at its name.

On the The Red Stapler page:

...what happened here? xD

Someone's using a humorous word replacer, is what happened. Millennial -> Snake Person is meant to make all those "Millennials are killing X industry by being poor" articles sound funnier.

The first two paragraphs of Thematic Rogues Gallery cracks me up.

From Divided States of America:

• Any time a news article features an Only in Florida type of story that happened in Texas, expect to see a few 'Just leave already!' comments. Curiously enough, per capita the states whose residents are most supportive of Texan independence^note This link goes by the Whitehouse.gov petition asking for permission to let Texas leave - the petition asks each signer to give their state of residence (other than Texas itself) are those who generally share political views (Top Five: Louisiana, Oklahoma, Alabama, Alaska, and Arkansas). The ones who'd least want to see Texas leave? The reliably Democratic states of New England, New York, New Jersey, Upper Midwest, California, and Hawaii.

From VideoGameCrueltyPotential/ActionAdventure:

• Subverted in The Legend of Zelda series: you can't kill the chickens. In fact, in most cases, they kill you. (No, Hyrule isn't in Soviet Russia, but the chickens are imported from there.)

The image from Large-Ham Announcer made me spit out my drinks.

Harry Potter and the Portrait of What Looked Like a Large Pile of Ash has a work page

Okay, wow, this scene is just amazing.

I wish I can make a group of villains/antagonists like these.

From Scary Musician, Harmless Music:

*Anaal Nathrakh. You'd hardly expect your average co-workers Dave and Mick◊ to make music sounding like the shredder with your co-workers halfway in them.

The YMMV.Birdemic page has this gem under Padding.

"The number of times people enter cars, leave cars, pull to the side of the road or merge back onto the road. You will eventually reach the point where every time a character enters a car your body will tense up as though your torturer has just returned with heated pliers."
