The caption for the picture on Bright Is Not Good and its footnote. Good God.
The sheer Epic Fail of this entry on SciFiWritersHave.No Sense Of Energy:
Wolfram Alpha equates that to 1.2 times the kinetic energy of a flying mosquito.

Worldbuilding is fun, writing is a choreSomeone confused Teravolt (TV) with Tera electronvolt (TeV). It's not just a difference of scale, they measure different things (electric potential versus energy, like comparing the height of a cliff and the effort it takes to climb it).
Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.My guess is that they did mean to use a unit of energy, and used electronvolts probably because it sounds more science-y than joules, but never stopped to check just how much an eV is and assumed the tera- prefix would be large enough (since for most units it is indeed a lot).
Worldbuilding is fun, writing is a choreIn a Crosses the Line Twice way, the bit under the Firefly Fridge Horror page about Reavers being "Semi-Intelligent Rapist Space Zombies with Knitting Skills", if nothing else for the sheer mental image of Reavers sitting around knitting like a stereotypical grandma.

The picture and caption for Doppelgänger Attack. XD
I like to keep my audience riveted.The caption for the film section of Fridge Horror.
- Lost is a 2004 mind screwy television program created by J. J. Abrams. But there was also a short-lived reality-TV show by that same name in 2001, as well as a pair of movies, three books, four albums, and a partridge in a pear tree.
This gem in Tomodachi Life. I lost it at the Serial Escalation occuring within the example.
- Perpetual Expression: While all Miis have happy/angry/sad/surprised facial expressions, these show up fairly infrequently, to the point that in some cases, it's rather unsettling when a Mii uses their default expression for something that's negative, especially if one is a Perpetual Smiler.
"Darn, I lost it." (Failing to sneeze in the Sneeze mini game, the Mii has their default expression.)"We're not quite friends yet." (Failing to befriend another Mii, the Mii still has their default expression.)"I'm kinda sad today." (A Mii after getting a sickness or entering a Heroic BSoD, the Mii still has their default expression.)"I'm not in a good mood." (Angered after having a fight, the Mii STILL has their default expression.)"I'm feeling kinda stressed..." (A Mii is in love with someone, the Mii STILL has their default expression.)"I'll try to do a better job with my proposal next time..." (A Mii failed at their proposal, the Mii STILL has their default expression.)

she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportI get the feeling whoever wrote that was getting increasingly frustrated as they did so.
Has that been posted yet? (It's The Stinger for SAO's YMMV page)

From Spider-Man 3:
On the topic of funny stingers, kudos to the guy who put the following stinger on the Love Live! funny page:
For context, here's what Nozomi's "punishments" are like:
Uh...so if I'm a guy is she gonna grab my junk?
.......I'd allow her.
I'm a (socialist) professional writer serializing a WWII alternate history webnovel.This made me go "lolwut"? From Radar /Gravity Falls
- Gravity Falls starts with G. So does George Washington. George Washington owned nigger slaves. Furthermore, Gravity Falls has the words Gravity and Falls in it, just like how a plantation farmer's hand "Falls" when he whips a disobedient nigger, and his hand "Falls" because of "Gravity"! Alex Hirsch sure is a white supremacist Jew.

I don't get that entry.
I'm a (socialist) professional writer serializing a WWII alternate history webnovel.Even though I watched Love Live! in its entirety, I never really thought much about that edit. To me, it was simply natural for someone to write it in to maintain the Running Gag. It's still great nonetheless.
As for my lol-worthy example, it's this entry under Arbitrary Skepticism as well as that trope's page image.
It's just someone taking the piss out of the type of Radar entries that are (used to be?) common around here.
@dRoy: Pretty sure that particular Cool and Unusual Punishment from Nozomi only applies to girls...
"Learn as if you will live forever, live as if you will die tomorrow."Love Live! is well known for its Chromosome Casting, so we'll never truly know for sure.
These two may literally be more bark than bite, but they are no less tenacious than everyone else.Speaking of Chromosome Casting, that's a great page picture.
