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 entire concept of Crappy Trope Definitions. Sure, some of the entries boil down to "do the opposite of the trope description", but when the satire hits, it really hits. I feel like I've actually learned more accurate definitions by browsing it than even something like Square Peg, Round Trope.

[up] Here's a terrific one:

Expy: This character is kind of like this character, and we'll pretend it's not a coincidence. Bonus points if the "copied" character is extremely obscure, or is several characters — after all, it's totally possible and not contradictory for one character to be a blatant reimagining of several distinct other characters simultaneously. Since this is the same as Captain Ersatz, make sure to list it by its full name of "Expy/Captain Ersatz".

This one is also really good:

Artistic License: A place to complain about how the author is obviously a giant idiot deliberately spreading misinformation for malicious purposes, because they couldn't have possibly known that something about their work is unrealistic but included it anyway to make the story more entertaining. And don't forget to assume everyone knows exactly what kind of minute errors you're talking about by using large amounts of esoteric jargon related to your interests and italicizing, bolding, and capitalizing examples to express your anger against Rule of Fun, Rule of Cool, Rule of Funny, and any form of stylization because an imagination is a terrible thing to have and it is unacceptable for fiction to deviate from reality.

Apologies for using this thread to mention something I partially wrote, but I'm fond of a wording change I made to a bullet point for Nightmare Fuel.

What it originally said:

Something that's only scary to people with an extremely specific phobia. Feel free to add something like "there's a duck in the background in scene X, which could be scary to people with anatidaephobia" even though 99.9% of viewers won't feel a thing about that duck.

What it says after I adjusted the end of the bullet point in this edit:

Something that's only scary to people with an extremely specific phobia. Feel free to add something like "there's a duck in the background in scene X, which could be scary to people with anatidaephobia" even though 99.9% of viewers won't give a duck.

Edit: Why did I originally make this post with the mod hat on? Fixed that because I'm just posting as a user with this post and not making a mod statement. Whoops.

I kinda wish you kept mod mode on just for the sheer silliness of it :P

Similar to Crappy Trope Definitions is [Trope Name] and subpages. It kills me every time. It's all so accurate.

From Homer Simpson's character page:

* Flat-Earth Atheist: [...] In later seasons, he's outright decrying God's existence despite the fact that he's arguably met God more than once (and if that didn't count, then the sheer fact that he and his family are alive and well after everything they've been through proves SOMETHING out the realm of nature is hiding in the Simpson house)

And also:

* Hanlon's Razor: In general, there are three reasons why Homer Simpson causes the chaos he does: because he's stupid, because he's an asshole, and because he's a stupid asshole

This may be kind of lame, but...

On Characters.Duck Tales 2017 Minor Antagonists, Juan Ponce de Leon is described as "a ruthless and greedy man" in the folder for Ponce de Leon. Although it was probably an accident, they just quoted another Disney project featuring Donald Duck exactly. (Although in that film, the line is referring to Pete.)

He may be a giant, nightmarish brute, but like all villains in this series,he sure can sing.

Does it say something about high-school stories that High School Is Hell is a redirect to High School?

Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.
