TV Tropes: The Motion Picture

So kinda like the Star Wars TV Tropes Edition thread. But you can play with any movie, any where. Have fun.

(Troll walks up to Mod who has half his face burned off.)

Troll: Me? Do I look like I have a plan?? See, this is the problem with you Moderators. You have your plans, your rules, your protocols. But you don't know how the internet works. I do.

All these nice tropers, hanging out and making edits. Talking about stupid movies and TV shows. But let a little Edit War flare up; introduce some animosity in a thread.

And these same tropers will eat each other.

Good. Bad. I'm the mod with the banstick.

President Fast Eddie: I address you tonight not as the President of the United Tropes. Not as the leader of a fiction site. But as a citizen of the World Wide Web.

We are faced with the gravest of challenges. The Bible calls this day Armaggeddon. The end of all things. And yet....for the first time in the history of the Internet, a website possesses the technology to prevent its own extinction.

All of you praying with us need to know that everything that can be done to prevent this disaster is being called into service. The troper thirst for creativity and fun; every unique attempt to discover a new convention; every courageous attempt to eliminate Natter; even the very posts we've thumped and the edit wars we've fought have given us the tools to wage this terrible battle.

Through all of the flaming...through all the rivalries and arguments...through all the times we've faced the occasional Jerkass....through all the discord...there is one thing that has nourished our souls and elevated this website above it's beginnings and that is our courage.

The dreams of the entire troper community are focused on those 14 brave Moderators journeying into the heavens. So let us all every forum and thread bravely see these events through.

Godspeed. And Good Luck.

Samuel L Tropson: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I'VE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERF*CKING TROLLS ON THIS MOTHERF*CKING SITE.

You know what you look like to me, with your lofty tone and your dense natter? You look like a Mary Sue page. A well maintained, popular Mary Sue page with a little quality. Mod control's given you some staying power, but you're not more than one edit from poor flamebait, are you, <Insert trope>? And that personal touch you've tried so desperately to shed: pure "This Troper". What is your writer, dear? Is he a nerd? Does he stink of the cartoons? You know how quickly the fandom found you... all those tedious sticky fumblings in front of bright screens... while you could only dream of getting out... getting anywhere... getting all the way to the Trope Repair Shop.

Damn. Now that was .

This is a thread I am going to read and giggle along with, I think.

Tada! Take in this topical titanic terrain, tossed out tentatively as both teachable and time-waster by the turnaround of the web. This territory, not a turn of the turgid, is a telltale of tacky technical talk now tallying and towering. However, this tenacious tour of tangled terms is tipping towards a tarnished temprament, as it has tempted too many to temper their time and tongues, twisting terminology and turning temporary tenants of this turf into timeless targets of titillating trope titles.

The only tool is tautological; these touchstones, held as tokens not to be told tardy, for the talents and techniques of today shall tote the testimonies of terrific tale-tellers and tutors to tomorrow.

Tellingly this type of tone tends most tiresome, so let us simply add that it’s our very good honor to meet you and you may call this TV Tropes.

Nice V for Vendetta skit, 8-)

I'd wondered where that was from.

If someone asks me, should we delete Kodomo no Jikan? A simple yes, by all means sir, nuke that fucker. Twice.

I like!

Lt. Commander Maxima: Technician Nohbody, where the hell is that trope description, I could've written one by now.

Technician Nohbody: Sir, I'm working on it.

Maxima: Son, do you know what's going here?

Nohbody: Yes, sir.

Maxima: No. I don't think you do. See, right now, 50 thumps, and 10 bans are being fueled. Now, if that trope description isn't fixed, it's going to result in an Edit War that'll destroy this entire website.

(Young tech Nohbody looks frightened)

Maxima: Listen son, you watch Star Trek? Well I'm Kirk, you're Scotty and I need warp speed on that trope description.

Nohbody: (confused) I'm sorry sir, I'm more of Doctor Who fan. I have no idea what you're talking about.

Maxima: (thinks for a moment) I'm the Doctor, you're my companion, and I need you to use this sonic screwdriver and save the TARDIS.

Nohbody: Yes Doctor! Er....yes sir!

Maxima: Good man. (watches tech head over to the Trope Repair Shop) (to himself) Thank God for OTC.

^ Win. Even, dare I say it, epic win.

(Though I actually am pretty familiar with ST, and not much at all with Dr Who. I at least recognized the Sonic Screwdriver bit... thanks to TV Tropes. )

- Okay. We have several canisters of CM-20. I say we go back in there and nerve gas the whole fuckin' nest.

- It's worth the try, but we don't know if that's gonna affect the Shippers.

- Let's just bug out and call it even, mat! What are we even talking about this for?

- I say we take off and nuke the thread from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

"Did you change the trope title?!"

"You want reasons?"

"I think an explanation is needed."

"You want reasons?!"

"I want an explanation!"

"You can't handle the explanation! Pal, we go on a site that has pages, and those pages have to be edited by people with time on their hands. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, with only two contributions? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom.

You weep for the old trope titles, and you curse the mod's decisions. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That these changes, while generic, probably made things understandable. And my existence, while irritating and unnecessary to you, makes things understandable. You don’t want an explanation because deep down in threads you don’t talk about in the forum, you want me editing these pages, you need me editing these pages.

We use terms like Lampshade Hanging, Narm, YKTTW. We use these terms as the backbone of late evenings spent writing about fiction. You use them as punchlines about geeks. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to someone who browses and links under the banner of the very wiki that I annotate, and then questions the manner in which I revise it.

I would rather you just say I'm made of win, and go back to the forum, Otherwise, I suggest you find a work, and start adding tropes. Either way, I don’t give a damn if you think this needs an explanation."

Kn J carcass in Cut List this morning, devil head on burst stomach. This wiki is afraid of P5. They have seen its true face. The work pages are extended gutters and the forums are full of blood and when the petitions finally scab over, all the pedoshit will drown. The accumulated filth of all their lolis and fanservice will foam up about their waists and all the skeeves and creepers will look up and shout 'Keep this!' ...and they'll look down and whisper 'No.'

edited 8th May '12 1:57:29 PM by Willbyr

The pornographer runs; the P5 runs after him. They are always on the prowl, looking for some lolicon or some pornography to kill. Quench the killer's thirst. Flag on the page - how did it get there?

Twenty hours of rest and still no decision. In the blistering Flame War heat, the P5 plans its next attack. Find the pedoshit and kill it. Kill, or be killed. Tropes' inhumanity to tropes.

Lt. Colonel Moderator - I love the smell of troll bans on the servers! Smells like......victory!

Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Fast Eddie, of Tvtopes, my tropers!

I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of tropers fails, when we forsake our awesomesauce and break all bonds of toperdom, but it is not this day. A DDoS of trolls and unceasing natter, when Tvropes comes crashing down!

But it is not this day! This day we shall delete such bullshit! By all that you hold dear on this good site, I bid you edit, badasses of Tvropes!

[A master and student look over the page]

"I can't find anything relevant about these old shows. They're not famous enough,"

"Notability matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my notability, do you? Hmm? And well you should not. For my ally is the wiki, and a powerful ally it is. Tropers create it, make it grow. Its examples remind us and inform us. Postmodern beings are we, not this old matter. You must embrace the wiki in all things; Headscratchers, WMG, discussions, the natter, everything. Yes, even the natter."

[The student is unconvinced]

"You expect the ridiculous."

[The master then references an obscure manga/puppet show crossover which is directly similar to the student's writing. The latter is amazed.]

"I don't, I don't believe it."

"That is your moment of suck."

& Both of you are .

The Avengers stuff:

"There was an idea. To bring together a group of remarkable tropers. So when we needed them, they could edit the pages that we never could."

"I recognise the moderators have made a decision, but given that it's a stupid-ass decision, I've elected to ignore it."

"There's no throne, there is no version of this where you come out on top. Maybe your troll army comes, and maybe it's too much for us, but it's all on you...Because if we can't protect the website, you can be damn well sure we'll avenge it."

Loki: "I have an army." Tony: "We have a Trope."

''A malfunction at TV Tropes has split the Forum into two threads. One forum is all the cool tropers, the contributors and cool chat people. The other forum isolates those who've been thumped and/or under warning to be banned.

A post goes out to both threads.''

—Good evening tropers. Tonight, you get to be part of a case study of troper behavior. Both your threads have a virus that will delete all of you off of TV Tropes forever taking all your posting history with it. The detonator to destroy your thread is with the other thread. But...whoever deletes the other first, will continue to stay on TV Tropes.

Make a decision quickly, the folks on the other threads might not be so patient with you.—

Troper 1: Oh my God! What're we gonna do?

Troper 2: We're gonna use the detonator and delete those trolls! That's what!

Moderator 1: We're not talking about this.

Troper 1: We need to talk about this. Those idiot trolls don't need to be on this site anyway.

Moderator: Some of them just got thumped, that doesn't make them trolls!

Troper 3: Hey, I've been mentioned in Gushing About Tropers You Like 10 times. Why should I get deleted from TV Tropes?

Troper 4: I just got a Madeof Forum Win for stopping an Flame War in the Gay Rights thread. It's not fair I should get deleted!

Troper 1: I say we take a vote.

Moderator: (grudgingly) ....Fine.

On the thumped watch thread.....The nervous Moderator guarding the trolls and near-banned posters, is visibly nervous. Suddenly a Scary Black Troll walks up to him.

Scary Black Troll: You're a Moderator. You know how to thump people and lock threads, but you don't know how to take a troper's history, do you? (Moderator starts to shift uncomfortably) Give me the detonator.

The Moderator looks frightened but doesn't hand it over.

Troll: You're surrounded by trolls, troll's who'll kill you and take it anyway. Give it me. And I'll do what you shoulda did 20 posts ago.

On the cool troper thread....

Moderator: We've got 120 hollers to spare them.....(voice cracking) and 157 hollers to..kill them.

Troper 1: Not kill them. It's saving us.

Moderator: Fine. Who's gonna do it.

Dead silence in the thread. After a very awkward silence.....

Troper 1: (getting up) I get it. Nobody wants to get their hands dirty. Well fine, I'll do it. Those tropers made their decision. They decided to flame bait, and add natter, and get threads locked. Doesn't make any sense we should get permanently banned for them.

On the troll watch thread.....the frightened guard Moderator finally caves in and hands over the detonator. The Scary Black Troll takes it in his grasp while the other trolls watch silently. The troll....stomps on the detonator'', utterly mangling it, making it useless.

The shocked trolls on the thread simply watch in shock, as the Scary Black Troll sits back down.''

On the cool tropers thread, Troper 1 holds the detonator, his finger over the "Delete" key. There's silence. He's about to press it when.....he suddenly loses the nerve to push the key. Sweating he looks at the other tropers. They stare back saying nothing. He finally drops the detonator and sits back down.

Meanwhile....

The Joker: Ah, it's been so much fun fighting, but we need to take a pause, other we'll miss the all insta-bans!

Bat Mod: There won't be any bans.

Joker: Ha! I'm surprised they held out this long, but here it comes any minute.

''The Joker checks the forum clock. It is midnight. He checks the threads. Nothing. Neither thread has banned the other. He waits a few moments and checks the forum clock. It's now five past.

First he's simply disbelieving. The he becomes furious.''

Joker: Goddamn weak-kneed geeks!

Bat Mod: What were trying to prove? That every troper is as ugly as you? You're alone!

Joker: Well, if you need something done, you have to do it yourself. (whips out his own detonator) By the way, do you know how I got these thumps?

Bat Mod: No....(uses the laser on his utility belt to stun the Joker and break free of his grasp) but I know how you got THIS one!

Bat Mod socks the Joker clear in the face and throws him and his detonator clear of the Forums.
