Deconstruct a random trope.

I think I did this game before, but I don't feel like necroing a thread that old, so here.

Basically, you hit the random button, find a trope, and rip it to pieces. This doesn't have to be serious, but it's the most common way. Still, keep in mind what the term "Deconstruction" means.

Okay, Here's my addition:

• Murderous Mannequin: They are actually PEOPLE!!

Time Travel: It doesn't work. Because time travel is impossible.

Deconstruction: Your Realism May Vary.

The X of Y: There is a country where your last name isn't based on your parents, but on the place you were born or made famous in. However, because of this, you could have the Tom of Yaggerd you're talking to be completely different from the hero Tom of Yaggerd. In fact, many people here invoke the One-Steve Limit, and some even duel to the death over it.

Superhero Paradox: The general public sees the hero as the villain and kills them, getting rid of the monsters.

Convenient Cranny- The person hiding has trouble breathing due to how small it is, and the monster has more patience than the person.

Little Miss Con Artist: She's basically a slave for an underground crime ring, and has been for years; this manner of theft is all she knows.

Suit with Vested Interest: these kinds of disasters happen all the time, the con-man is just a murderous psychopath who wants the population dead.

RecurringBoss: They take more and more damage with no chance to heal. By the last encounter, they are barely able to move and you feel too much pity to finish the job and their minions shoot you.

Spontaneous Choreography: the person who is at the center of the choreography is in fact a powerful telepath and is having the people perform according to their wishes.

Worf Had the Flu: He's been beaten in fights so many times, and now that he's gotten rid of this Power Limiter that was on his back the whole time, he's ready to truly fight! He goes to this really strong guy...and has his head handed to him. Turns out he kicked himself so much for being too weak and his ass was kicked so much by other fighters, that he stopped training in martial arts altogether. Oops...

This Is a Work of Fiction- The coincidence between a work and a real world event is a bit too uncanny for the lawyers.

The Team Normal: Anything the Cavalier can do, the others can do better thanks to their superpowers, and she ends up being just a fifth wheel for the team. She's also very easily targeted by the bad guys as she can't escape from them as easily as the others can.

Stop, or I Will Shoot!: The police are part of a corrupt military dictatorship, and can kill anyone they think is doing unlawful things....

Foe Yay: The villain, whenever he's presented with the opportunity, doesn't kill the hero because he loves her. She doesn't know that, however, and the villain's inactivity towards her results in him being soundly defeated and hauled off to jail. This utterly breaks his heart, and when he escapes and find her, he doesn't hesitate in killing her like she expected, leaving the city defenseless against him.

Again, what's with this thread?

Oh, yea. Using spoiler text. It seems my time in the Arena has rubbed off on me.

Alright, let's see, ope, there we go.

I actually did one pertaining to Guardians of the Galaxy before.

Funny Animal: The animal is bipedal and can walk, talk, and act like a human being because it had horrific and painful cybernetic experiments performed on it.

Judgment of Solomon: The decision to split the baby damages his reputation as a kind, compassionate leader, and, of course, both parties wanting the baby find the decision to be repulsing, and nothing happens as a result.

Bump.

Good Is Not Nice: The hero eventually comes to believe that punishment is the only way to solve most problems, leading him down a slippery slope which ends in him becoming a dictator on par with Mussolini and Hitler.

Bullet Seed: The force required to spit the seeds out at a machine-gun rate turns the once-harmless seeds into projectiles capable of injury and even death for those who aren't careful.

Space Battle: The Star Force easily use their Space Torpedos to destroy the enemy ship, without causing any harm to their own ship. They then hit light speed and get slammed against the window, smashed into bits.

Hypocritical Fandom: The fandom sees the similarities between the show they hate and their "flawless" show, and realize both of them are equally terrible. The fandom then gives up on their own show, causing the fandom to die out and the show to get cancelled along with the one the fandom hated. Many years later, it is rebooted with mixed reviews.

Excessive Steam Syndrome: During Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader's battle, Darth Vader notices the steam and halts the battle, calling up the architect and criticizing him for causing this, and firing him. The battle is postponed until a new architect is hired to fix the problem.

Rule of Three: Upon hearing this trope in effect in so many fairy tales, Grace gets bored of them, knowing exactly what will happen after just hearing the setup.

Breaking the Reviewer's Wall: The Game Guy, for a special review, jumps into one of his favorite games. However, that game happens to be Final Fantasy VII, and he is killed when AVALANCHE blows up the Mako Reactor.

Lets resurrect a fun thread from ITS GWAVE!!

New Look Same Great Taste: It was crappy already.
