Not Thriving: A Little Help From My Friends

A grand total of seven intrawiki inbound links - two of which are from CityVille and FarmVille, which clearly think it's an entirely different trope describing those games' social styles of gameplay (it's actually about the tendency of actors who know each other or a certain director to work together a lot). Also, one of the two Let's Play links seems to use it for its opposite; from Icee TH:

  • A Little Help From My Friends: During each Gym Leader in his Emerald (and more recently, Platinum) LP, he has a different L Per read his or her lines. [cue two folders listing them]
In other words, somehow a trope with few enough inbound links it could have triggered one of the comments that inspired the creation of the term describing said links still manages to have them be at least half misuse (not counting the Characters and Casting index)!

This seems to be adequately covered by Production Posse and You Look Familiar.

Agree that this is a duplicate of Production Posse. Given the minute number of examples and wicks we're dealing with, this should be an easy cut.

Just cut it.

Near duplicate of Production Possey. Subtrope too narrow to trope.

Crush, kill, destroy.

EDIT: that's ten unanimous votes for cut.

Um, given the unanimous nature of this thread, I am kind of wondering why the page isn't cut yet.

Since we seem to be in favor of cutting, let's get going on dewicking this.
