There's so many things wrong here, I'm not really sure where to start.

  1. Didn't go through TRS. The description is somewhat poorly written. There are no examples, 3 wicks, and the only index is Tropes Needing Examples.
  2. If it only appears in Youtube Poop, it's not a trope. It's just a Running Gag.
  3. If it doesn't only appear in Youtube Poop, is it common enough to trope?
  4. Can this not be covered by Memetic Mutation?

I personally think it should be cut, but maybe there's a germ of something we can run through YKTTW.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.

The only tropeworthy bit in this seems to be the editing trick. I haven't seen that trick used anywhere, though - couldn't we just put this on the Youtube Poop page somewhere?

Like common editing tricks seen in this genre?

Citing the page:

Other variations/sub-fads include, but are in no way limited to: [...]

  • Spaghetti Sus. [short explanation]

Can we just move it here?

Sorry. Yeah. If this is done only in YouTube Poop, it should be cut.

So, cut and leave the mention on Youtube Poop page?

I honestly think YouTube Poop should be cut from The Internet completely.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

[up] Sadly, this is not Internet Repair Shop.

Oh well, I think we have consensus. I'll move the example over to the page now; if nobody objects, I'll cutlist the trope.

Which discussion page do you mean? The one for Spaghetti Sus, or the one for Youtube Poop? I left a comment at the latter page, referencing this thread.
