Take one of the tropes used in the previous troper's post and combine it with another trope. Then write a short description of what the resulting trope would be along with a name that's a combination of the two. Please use part of the trope name to link to one trope and another to link to the other to make sure other people know what tropes you combined.

Bloodless Scrappy Heap Rescue

When it is revealed that someone doesn't bleed, the fans stop disliking them.

Xanatos Artifact: A complex scheme that once couldn't fail to benefit the person who enacted it, but has long since stopped being relevant and remains only because of tradition.

Xanatos Escape

Being chased by something very large in a way that means that whatever happens, you win.

Indy Escapes! Everyone (Else) Dies!

A character manages to escape from the rolling boulder of doom, but in the process he/she accidentally kills several plot important characters with said rock chunk, and now the author must figure out how to solve this friggin' mess!


Really cool game/thread, by the way! [tup] Lots of potential for unbounded hilarity here!

Rule Of Shark Pool

If a shark thank is shown at any point in the setting, it's inevitable that some fool will be feed to the aquatic predators, and it will be incredibly messy!

Iron Dumbass

He may be a complete numbskull, but he's not about to give up because he was flung into a river of lava which carried him over a million-foot cliff.

Love Makes You Take A Level In Dumbass

A character gets progressively stupider with each romantic relationship he/she has. For example: Bob starts as a TV Genius, but after going through 10 different relationships, he's Too Dumb to Live, and it only gets worse from that point onwards.
