If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say nineties. Like pretty much everything that isn't Justin Bieber.

From Snowed-In:


  • Snow Day, one of those Nickelodeon live-action movies, had this as its central premise, complete with evil snowplow man whose goal is to plow the streets and force kids to go to school.
    • So the schools would just reopen at noon, once all the roads were clear? Ok...
      • His intent was to prevent the Snow Day from lasting multiple days. Because he's EVIL.

It's natter, but it's so funny...

From Cabin Fever:

* The Plague: It is hinted that the disease will reach pandemic levels, insofar as the hint practically parades in front of the audience in stiletto heels and fishnet stockings singing "Sweet Transvestite" and twirling flaming batons.

Under Genius Bonus on the main page for the magnificent Deus Ex Human Revolution:

Picus News is named after Picus, a Roman god of agriculture who discovered of the uses of manure. Basically, the company is named after the lord of bullshit.

It's even funnier if you know that Picus is a bit of a Take That! against Fox News. And how in the game, you can find intercompany emails discussing how to manipulate public opinion with the power of media that they have. waii

Another lump of gold from the North Korea page.

Whilst its portrayal as the Card-Carrying Villain of world politics is frequently played for laughs, it may do you good to recall that this country is indeed home to 25 million people. So, rule of cautious editing VERY MUCH applies.

EDIT: Never mind, TV tropes is blocked in North Korea.

From the Dead Or Alive page.

*Beware the Nice Ones: Gen Fu is really a sweet old man. But if you cross him, watch out.

  • The same goes for Kasumi, Kokoro and Eliot.

What makes me laugh is that, while I know what the author means, one could misread that and assume that Kasumi, Kokoro and Eliot are all old men.

That's probably just me. I'm weird like that.

Also it impaired me to jokingly make Mew Yam, Mew Pumpkin and Mew Dragon Fruit

From We Don't Suck Anymore

Bailey's are trying to rebrand, to lose their fusty, old-fashioned image. As they were trying so hard to prove that they Don't Suck Any More, they were hesitant to accept a request from The Mighty Boosh for a character called Old Gregg to be portrayed drinking Bailey's, since they imagined he would probably be an aging man. They eventually allowed the usage when they were informed that Old Gregg was, in fact, a transsexual man-fish, which is apparently much more in line with the company's new target market.

More of a dark lol and would probably not make sense to anyone not familiar with X-Men, but there's a person on Wallbanger who says the Marvel writing staff crossed the Moral Event Horizon by... writing Cyclops badly.

Why do we still have that page again? It's basically the same thing as DMOS, except less organized.

[up][up] Cause it's funny.

If we're allowed to post Narm, then this from the Mass Effect fridge brilliance page:

"A rather personal Fridge moment/sadness: this Troper's Shepard is a Colonist/Sole Survivor, always used to seeing a lot of tragedies and deaths. But this hits particularly hard on her in the events of Mass Effect 2 however, when she buys a fish from Illium for companionship aboard her deck. Now, this troper roleplays her Shep as rather workaholic, and she also actively avoids going to her quarters because it reminded her too much of the old Normandy. Because of that, she rarely had time to feed her fish... and then the long-awaited Suicide Mission came. This troper decided to change her Shepard's armor to suit the rather grim occasion, and that is when she noticed the dead fishes floating on her cabin's fish tank. Dead. Even in the mundane things of her life, failure follows her everywhere. This troper bawled so hard after that."

I just find this thought hilarious. She looked at the fish in a video game, took the time to make up a story in her head, then just started crying at the story she made up.

From No OSHA Compliance:

  • In 300, why is there a large bottomless pit in the middle of a busy Spartan plaza?
    • It's a well. It's not covered because, being Spartans, they probably think anyone who falls in deserves it.

The Insurmountable Waist-High Fence page has some great snark for the description of the different kinds of IWHFs. The Quotes subpage, too, has some great lines on it.
