So, as a counterpoint to the other thread, this is where we talk about entries that we find incredibly amusing and intelligent. To start us out, I present the entirety of Real Life, which had me cracking up when I first read it.

The phrasing of this line from Proactive Boss. I like to think that whoever wrote this has a vendetta against Infinite.


Sonic Forces: Infinite just shows up whenever he feels like it, regardless of if it's time for a boss battle or not...

The fact that Funny.TV Tropes exists. All of it.

I'm also mildly honored that at least two of my contributions are on that page — some entries on the page PlayingWith.Break The Scientist, and the dream I had where (among other things) I was getting eggs all over my bed and that we were no longer allowed to list certain characters as The Scrappy because the characters themselves didn't like it.

Cold turkey's getting stale. Tonight I'm eating crow.

Holy crap, I made the original version of this page over a year ago as a joke. I'm honored for it to be featured this fine April Fool's Day.

The lutefisk's entry in Masochist's Meal:

“Essentially, you take a perfectly good fish, dry it thoroughly until it resembles a 2x4 plank, and let it rot slightly, then soak it in lye and smoke it. Then, you soak it in water to get all the lye out, boil it, and serve it with innocent mashed potatoes which had done nothing to deserve the treatment.

The Thriller genre index lists subcategories, the first few of which are Police Procedural, Psychological Thriller, and... Ted Dekker? (Whoever he is, his section is mostly redlinks.)

Star Trek S1 E18 "Arena"

  • Fight Scene Failure The brawl between Kirk and the Gorn became one of the most remembered moments from the series for all the wrong reasons. The Gorn moves at the speed of molasses and he and Kirk fight with all the forceful aggression of a summer breeze, at one point simply hugging each other like a father and son. Most infamous is a scene where Kirk strikes the Gorn in the side with a large rock, with the Gorn not even reacting to the hit.

The Hilarious in Hindsight entry for Planet Terror:

  • Bruce Willis' character kills Osama Bin Laden by shooting him in the head. Four years later, he'd be killed in real life the exact same way (but not by Bruce Willis).

Talking of Bruce Willis...

I kinda love how the "Catchy Song" example on VideoExamples.The LEGO Movie 2 The Second Part isn't even a video per se. All you need to know is that song's gonna get stuck inside your head.

The Writing Pitfall Index has some self-demonstrating examples. I think my favorite is:

No Punctuation Period: Run-on sentences make a story much harder to read especially when there should be pauses yet there is no possible way of defining when they would appear and can usually be avoided.

There's also some meta-humor if you treat it as the ultimate list of every writing mistake possible (which it obviously isn't meant to be). So if I avoid all the pitfalls listed there, I'm fine?

"He betrayed the Staaarks" is not the only problem here.

This line from the description on Around the World in 80 Days (2004):

The film is notable for being Arnold Schwarzenegger's last film before he took a hiatus from acting to become Governor of California.

It's not so funny by itself, but personally, anytime Arnold's (succesful) run to become the Governator of California is mentioned I chuckle.

From Breaking Bad:

* Beam Me Up, Scotty!: [...] **Many people assume that Mike Ehrmantraut always pronounces Walter's name as "Waltuh", due to Jonathan Banks' gravelly voice he provides for the character. In reality, Mike always pronounces Walter's name with the hard "R" sound over the course of the series. The misconception likely comes from the "Put your dick away Waltuh" meme, where the person imitating Mike's voice does drop the "R" sound.

I love how some of our entries sound really professional and serious even when talking about dumb shit like this.
