I forgot what page it was on. I think it was something about pure awesome or the like, but...

Not exactly an entry, but Coy, Girlish Flirt Pose is followed by Cradling Your Kill on the Stock Poses index. This strikes me as amusing and reminds me of a certain Gundam Seed GIF...

The list of possible failures on Troper Tales: Critical Failure has some real gems.
- Intimidate
- You intimidate the wrong people, scaring your party instead, and your party's half orc barbarian wets his pants, cries for his mother, then faints.
- Jump
- You are now in orbit. Have a Nice Death!
- You jump so high you break orbit/your spine against the ceiling.
- Speak Language
- Hremsfeld: You not only speak the wrong language, but end up later on switching into the correct one and declaring a blood feud.
- Count Dorku: "My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels".
- A Random Serf: Hastur Hastur Hastur.
- Intimidate
And also, see this snippet from the same page. Even if you don't know too much about the mechanics of Dungeons And Dragons, it's still a pretty funny story.
- As mentioned above, this troper once took part in a game where someone went behind the dungeon master's back and tried to "cook" the dice to roll twenties. He critical failed that, and instead, it landed on 1 almost every time. The dm figured out something was up VERY quickly, and with each critical failure, he came up with more and more creative penalties. The end result is known now among my small group of friends as "the that did not happen." What should have been a fairly simple "Kill the Orcs in the cave mission" became a complete disaster, and had to be completely retconned. Among other impressive critical failures:
- The warrior accidentally impaled himself with his own sword. Twice. This did extra damage since he had proficiency with that weapon. His +2 longsword broke the second time, and instead had to use a club for the rest of the night. He hit himself in the head with it four times, once fatally.
- Our cleric managed to tick off his own god, and lost all of his healing spells until he found a new god to worship. The only one that would take him was evil aligned, and when he converted, our paladin was forced to kill him.
- Our Paladin ended up cursed with a ring of change alignment shortly after, and became chaotic evil. We were forced to kill him after he started grabbing orcish babies out of their mother's arms and started using them as projectile weapons.
- Our thief could only successfully steal from himself, and the only thing he could successfully hit with his bow and arrows was his own foot. The biggest critical failure? He held his bow and arrow backwards, and shot himself in the eye, killing him.
- Our Magic user (me), gave himself a stroke on a failed concentration check, and then turned himself into a frog later on. He was promptly eaten by the druid's animal companion.
- Our druid somehow made himself an enemy to all animals, and vanished under a swarm of angry rats. All that was left was bones afterward.
- Our Drow ranger (the one who was responsible for this whole mess), being the last survivor, tried to run out of the orc's cave, then ended up in a random encounter with a kobold (just one). The ranger attempted to kill it, and managed one of the most spectacular critical failure sequences I have ever seen: not only did he miss every attack, but he ended up cutting himself TWICE every time (since he was dual wielding), with fire damage added since they were both magical swords. After the fifth time this happened, the kobold just sat on his backside laughing at the ranger. Finally, the ranger tried to just run away, and critical failed escaping, ending up tripping over his own feet, and slamming his head against a wall, reducing him to negative hit points. The kobold then searched the ranger's pockets, then went to get his buddies. The last thing the ranger saw before he reached -10 was a mass of kobolds approaching, all of them with knives and forks.
- Needless to say, the guy that critical failed cooking the dice ended up being banned from playing D and D with us forever.

Again, a Laconic page, but this time it's not really the entry itself, but rather the "Visit unabridged version HERE" part. Namely of the Laconic of Katawa Shoujo, which is:

Australian Wildlife has a simple, yet effective Laconic page:
And the "Visit unabridged version HERE" is just as funny:
Also, someone outs herself as a fangirl from Troper Tales/Uke:
- My Yaoi Fangirl Unwanted Harem always kept telling me I was an Uke, even If I had never been in a relationship before. I kept rejecting that term and kept telling them I still was a man and had my pride, even if I liked other guys And tried my best to not act all Camp and FA-BU--LOUS!. And then I got in a relationship with my best friend. After some months, I discovered they were totally right. Cue the Fangirl Squee
- And if you don't know what I mean, I meant that I take it. In the ass.

- "The only traditions of the Royal Navy are rum, sodomy and the lash." - Sir Winston Churchill never said this; his personal secretary, Anthony Montague-Browne, said that although Churchill did not say this, he wished he had.
- Note that the British Navy abolished the practice of flogging in 1948, and that rum rations were discontinued in 1970. The modern navy runs on sodomy, and sodomy alone.
To me it would've been funnier if they had stopped one sentence earlier.
I've always loved that the description on the Wesley Willis page is written in the style of an actual Wesley Willis song.

There's a dentist in Dallas, Texas named Dr. Payne.
Reverse the Curse
There's one based in Amherstview, ON as well. It's even spelled Pain.
There's a bonus point in that his first name is Peter. It'd be so easy to fix his surname so he'd be the most hilariously-named dentist in the land.

- The characters of Futurama are strikingly like Commedia characters:
- Arlecchino: Fry
- Colombina: Leela
- Brighella: Bender
- Il Dottore: Professor Farnsworth
- Pierrot: Dr. Zoidberg
- Il Capitano: Zap Branigan
- Innamorati: Amy and Kif
Holy crap. Apart from the Innamorati=Kif and Amy (which was a little forced), this is pretty well done.

- So... white, white, white and half-white (with the other half being white).

Um, I've never played that game, does it make more sense in context?

She's a Hermaphrodite. She fertilized herself with her own seed. Or something like that

That's bound to be somewhat unhealthy for the child, given that it's essentially super-incest.

If you didn't say that, I'd never notice.
Well, to be fair, She did have some weird powers and accelerated aging.

That sounds a little bit like Square Peg Round Trope to me.
