Funny example, though.
Support Gravitaz on Kickstarter!
Some of the examples on the Rumble Roses page are humorously matter-of-fact.

The gamespot review of that game was hilarious.

Seeing all these piss ant tropers trying to talk tough makes me laugh. If Matrix were here, he'd laugh too.
I decided to read through the narm pages after someone mentioned it here and there was a bit from the Twilight entry that amused me.
"In the second book, Edward attempts to kill himself by sparkling.
-Not just by sparkling. By sparkly striptease."
Mostly because I then imagined Edward doing a strip tease a la Panty And Stocking With Garterbelt's transformation sequence.

From Lyrical Shoehorn:
And they end up looking something like this:
->I put 'em in my hat, I eat it just like that,
I put 'em in my ears and in my shoes,
I put 'em in my pants, do a little dance,
It always seems to take away my blues!
Uhh.

Look at the first thing said on Ernest Borgnine's page, minus the quote.

First: Shit, I just realised something!
Second: What, you're drunk?
First: No, I realised that punk rock... has too much music in it! People listen to it!
Second: Your point being?
Third: Actually, that's a very good question. What's your point, man?
First: Look, what if we made the ultimate form of rebellious music by resisting conformity to musical standards?
Second: Eh?
First: What if we made anti-music?
Second: ...
Third: That might work, actually.

Possible aversion: It might not be "really" true, but making people think it is works.
While you do have to kill somebody to become "made" in the mafia (otherwise you're merely an associate), it's always a planned hit against somebody the higher-ups have decided needs to die.
TV Tropes must be one of the few places you can type "kitten" in the search engine and wind up reading about the mafia.

On one hand, that last line is natter and should be removed.
On the other hand, it is pretty funny. And true.

Natter isn't bad when it's purely for humour. And works.

Actually natter has a "Purge on Sight" rule unless it can be incorporated into the trope example.

I'd hate to see that be deleted as well. It's been there as long as I can recall, (and I first read that page a couple of years ago and it wad already there!).
This one on the same page is also pretty good:
- What's true is that the criminal has to be the one to instigate the criminal behavior. If the cop starts it, suggests a criminal plan, then it becomes entrapment. Thus when cops are pretending to be johns in order to arrest prostitutes, the prostitute has to be the one to approach the cop and make the offer of money for sex, when a cop is pretending to be a prostitute (usually she) has to wait for the johns to approach her and make the offer. One imagines the scene when one group of undercovers accidentally targets another group of undercovers and the "prostitutes" and "johns" all sort of mill about indecisively.

The author would like to thank God. "Thank you, God."
See the quote at the top of the page, verbatim from the book! You can imagine what the author's English teacher did upon reading it to wash that memory out of her head!
Latawnya's name is rarely mentioned without "the naughty horse" being tagged onto the end, bringing up the question of why there was no 'Connie the manipulative horse' or 'Daisy the sane horse'.
Also, there's quite a lot of reiterating the moral and repeating stuff in the same paragraph!
Also, here is the quote that the third point mentions.
