Speaking of Instant Fish Kill, the video "My First Bath in Decades" needs to have its description changed so it doesn't mention it's the image source. It should be changed to:

"When Granny falls off the iceberg and has her first bath in decades, an unknown oily substance oozes off her and multiple dead fish and a shark suddenly pop up."

"ToddWorld" in Mistakes Are Not the End of the World should also have Honesty Aesop since the secondary lesson is that you shouldn't lie to cover up your mistakes.

"Big Time Rush" in Gasshole should have Underwater Fart Gag since Carlos farting in the pool and causing an explosion from it is the whole point.

Oh, I believe in yesterday

For "Scar takes over Pride Rock" (Tyrant Takes the Helm) from The Lion King (1994), New Era Speech should be added in and the media source The Lion King: Scar should be removed when available:

• New Era Speech: After Mufasa's (ahem) unfortunate death, Scar stands before Pride Rock, proclaiming: "A new era, in which lion and hyena come together in a great and glorious future!"

For "Dolores Umbridge" (Complete Monster) from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Hate Sink and Soft-Spoken Sadist should be added in when available:

• Hate Sink: Three words: Dolores Jane Umbridge. Full-stop. She uses her position at Hogwarts to undermine Harry and Dumbledore for daring to tell the truth about Voldemort's return, and outright tortures Harry by forcing him to magically carve the words "I must not tell lies" into his own hand with his own blood. She hides all of her horrible traits under a sugary-sweet mask, lacking even the Love to Hate charisma of Voldemort. In Order of the Phoenix, Umbridge demonstrates the consequences of giving power to a bigot, promoting hatred towards Muggle-borns, depriving students of the capacity to learn self-defense, and disrespecting the inhabitants of the Forbidden Forest. In Deathly Hallows, she graduates from "mere" petty cruelty to outright assisting with genocide, charging Muggle-borns with "stealing magic". Whether she is an undercover Death-Eater or merely an opportunist jumping at the chance to cause pain to a large number of people is never confirmed, not that we have the slightest sympathy for her when according to Word of God she is sentenced to life in Azakban (albeit one without Dementors). Stephen King described her as "the most despicable person since Hannibal Lecter", and this comes from the man who created Annie Wilkes, Pennywise, Samuel Norton and Randall Flagg.
• Soft-Spoken Sadist: Umbridge's fluttery, girlish, high-pitched voice belies her true nature, though most everyone sees through it immediately.

For "Not my daughter you bitch!" (Literally Shattered Lives) from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Made of Explodium, Precision F-Strike, Taken for Granite and Oh, Crap! sould be added in when available:

• Made of Explodium: Molly does this to Bellatrix after the latter realizes her fate.
• Precision F-Strike: Molly Weasley's line to Bellatrix from the novel is kept intact.
  Not my daughter, you bitch!
• Taken for Granite: This is what happens to Bellatrix Lestrange before she gets blown to pieces.
• Oh, Crap!: An understated but no less powerful one: when Molly confronts Bellatrix and actually begins to fight back with the Killing Curse. The look on Bellatrix's face shows that she knows that she's a dead woman.

Many thanks.

On "S;G0 - Re-Awaken" (He's Back!), please change the source from VisualNovel.Steins Gate Zero to VisualNovel.Steins Gate 0.

I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.

On Kickassia, for the video "Nostalgia Critic and Phelous" (example of Glad I Thought of It), please add Three... Two... One... as a secondary trope. The video include an example that's already listed on the trope page:

• A Running Gag is for the Nostalgia Critic to shut down any idea suggested by Phelous, and then claiming the idea as his own. When Phelous suggests promoting tourism to Kickassia and gets shot down, he counts down from three on his fingers, and right on cue the Critic suggests promoting tourism to Kickassia.

Thanks in advance.

Two video examples for The Legend of Korra, "P'li's Death" for Your Head A-Splode and "P'li's head is blown up" for Gory Discretion Shot, are duplicates. I recommend that the former video be removed and Your Head A-Splode added as a secondary trope to the latter video.

Trimming the hedges, one trope at a time.

Since it was said on the last page that Characters pages can't be sources, please remove the examples from VideoExamples.Metroid Raven Beak and VideoExamples.Metroid Metroid Prime And Dark Samus.

"Fran's Refusal" (Dinosaurs, Animation Age Ghetto) should have Hand Puppet as its secondary trope, not Sock Puppet, because these are literal hand puppets.

I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.

Please remove Creator.Kurt Russell from the video "Wyatt Earp's Reckoning".

"I just need one of you to come here to give your life to the sun god. It will be for the monkey city's glory."

• Baby Sinclair (Aside Glance): Can you add Dinosaurs S 01 E 02 The Mating Dance as a media source?
• Also add Dinosaurs S 02 E 10 How To Pick Up Girls as a media source to Fran's Refusal?

On "The Power of the Doctor", the video "Rasputin Dance" is given as primarily an example of Even Evil Has Standards.

I am not sure if this even fit as an example of Even Evil Has Standards, and even then it's only a very small part of the whole video (basically a short Eye Take between a Cyberman and Dalek. So Even Evil Has Standards should be either removed or moved to the secondary tropes, and the primary trope replaced with Gratuitous Disco Sequence, which this video is all about: The Master as Rasputin dancing on "Rasputin" by Boney M.

As for the secondary tropes Complexity Addiction and Excuse Plot, well the episode sure include examples of them, but this specific video doesn't quite illustrate either, so I fell they should be removed.

Thanks in advance.

#4903: While I did add the tropes in, the trope examples you linked for Made of Explodium and Taken for Granite are both Zero-Context Examples and not very helpful for quick adding.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Please make the following edits:

• Add the secondary trope Ash Face to the “Malfunctioning Eddie” video from the Big "WHAT?!" page. In the video, Fry is unharmed when Eddie explodes. Instead, his face gets covered in soot.
• Add the secondary trope Election Day Episode to the “Donald Trump” video from the Practically Joker page. The video is titled “Election Knight Rises,” and it takes place on an election night which has Donald Trump parodying the Joker.
• Add the secondary trope The Great Whodini to the “Popping Popcorn” video from the Out Of Control Popcorn page. In the video, Arty Smartypants’ magician alter ego is named “The Great Smartini.”
• Add the secondary trope Incredible Shrinking Man to the “Bowser Begs for Mercy” video from the Villains Want Mercy page. In the video, Bowser is shrunk down by a mushroom that Princess Peach shoves into his mouth.
• Add the secondary trope Jitter Cam to the “Olson the Red Shirt” video from the Too Dumb to Live page. In the video, Captain Kirk, Sulu, and Olson are falling through the air, and the camera shakes a lot to make the scene more dramatic.
• Add the secondary trope Make a Wish to the “Cliff Wishes Upon a Star” video from the All Just a Dream page. In the video, Cliff Hanger sees a star and wishes “Get me off this cliff!” He is then rescued from the cliff, but it turns out to be All Just a Dream.
• Add the secondary trope Rain of Something Unusual to the “Meat Shower” video from the Let's Meet the Meat page. In the video, Leona and her family all imagine that it’s raining meat.
• Add the secondary trope Rapid-Fire "Shut Up!" to the “Secret Invasion Objections” video from the MST3K Mantra page. In the video, the Screenwriter says “Shut up” whenever the Producer objects to his ideas, eventually saying it twice in a row.
• Add the secondary tropes Super Window Jump and Three-Point Landing to the “Clones vs Pong Krell” video from the Anti-Mutiny page. In the video, Pong Krell jumps through a window while shattering it with his lightsabers. Then, he lands with one knee, one foot, and one hand on the ground.

Welcome to Corneria!

On the video "Average Hummer Driver" listed under Hummer Dinger, please add Family Guy S 5 E 3 Hell Comes To Quahog as a media source.

"Stand Proud, Sukuna, you are strong" | He/Him

The one video on VideoExamples.The Mansions Of The Gods needs to have its source changed to WesternAnimation.Asterix The Mansions Of The Gods, the main page having moved to this new title.

Thanks in advance.

The Hazbin Hotel Inelegant Blubbering videos "Angel Thanks Charlie" and "Charlie" are almost the same video. "Angel Thanks Charlie" should be kept as it has slightly more relevant context.

"I Love You" (Wrap-Up Song): Can you add Barney & Friends S1 E30 "Everyone is Special" as a media source?

Please make the following edits:

• Add the secondary trope Censor Steam to the “It turns out it’s man.” video from the Humans Are the Real Monsters page. In the video, the man walking out of the test chamber has his groin obscured by steam.
• Add the secondary trope Inflating Body Gag to the “CWACOM Credits” video from the Creative Closing Credits page. In the video, the mayor’s body has inflated so much that he’s being used as a hot air balloon. His body then deflates after being punctured by an arrow with Bruce Campbell’s name on it, and he is unharmed.
• Add the secondary trope Orbital Shot to the “Granny ‘Triple G’ Puckett” video from the Cool Old Lady page. In the video, the camera remains focused on Granny Puckett as it rotates around her while she’s skateboarding.
• Add the secondary trope Right for the Wrong Reasons to the “3000 AD Political Parties” video from the Fictional Political Party page. In the video, Fry refuses to support the Brain Slug Party, not because the people with brain slugs on their heads look Brainwashed, but because he’s not convinced that the brain slugs will really attach themselves to his head if they win.
• Add the secondary trope Sure, Let's Go with That to the “Xenk and Edgin” video from the You Would Do the Same for Me page. In the video, Edgin says “Yeah” unconvincingly, choosing to let Xenk believe that he would have saved his life.
• Add the secondary trope Teleportation to the “To Fly with Dragons” video from the Magical Incantation page. In the video, the dragon scale magically teleports Emmy and Max from their bedroom to Dragon Land.
• Add the following secondary tropes to the “Are Any Women In Charge?” video from the Some of My Best Friends Are X page:
  • Not Helping Your Case: In the video, while trying to convince Barbie that his company is feminist, the CEO of Mattel shows just how low his standards are for considering a company feminist. For example, he gestures to his boardroom full of men and says “Every one of these men love women.”
  • Freudian Slip and Immediate Self-Contradiction: The CEO contradicts himself mid-sentence when he says “Women are the freaking foundation of this very long, phallic building.” Unlike most examples of Freudian Slip, it’s not clear what he meant to say instead of the word “phallic.”
  • Ice-Cream Koan: The CEO says “I’m the son of a mother. I’m the mother of a son.” This might sound profound if you’re not paying attention, but the second part doesn’t make any sense. He should have said “I’m the father of a daughter” if he wanted to make any sense.

Welcome to Corneria!

For "Power Rangers Jungle Fury" (Foreign-Looking Font) from, well, Power Rangers Jungle Fury, please add Expository Theme Tune.

• Expository Theme Tune: The lyrics make sure you know exactly what kind of people the Rangers are and who they're fighting.

Yeah, that should be done too, with the vid tagged with the other two tropes as well.

Edit: Both are now done, thanks.

Edited by Lymantria on Apr 25th 2024 at 12:54:13 PM

Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!

The above video is the same as the Jungle Fury Rangers (Super Team) video can you please merge the two videos together with super Team as the main trope example?

For the Brain Uploading video, "Arnim Zola" (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), can you add Computer Equals Tape Drive as a secondary trope? The computer that Zola's brain was uploaded into has this feature.

All of the videos at Avaxtakarfan should have their media source changed to The Fruit Basket; the pages were merged.

For the video at Discworld II could you add either No Fourth Wall or Breaking the Fourth Wall as a secondary trope? (The former is mentioned in the article itself.) Since Rincewind points out that they're at the start of the game and therefore can't die yet, and asks the players if they're gonna miss this stuff when they stop making these kinds of games.

For the Astonishingly Appropriate Interruption video "Slave the Day", please change the media source Recap.The Powerpuff Girls S 2 E 6 Slave The Day Los Dos Mojo to Recap.The Powerpuff Girls S 2 E 6 Slave The Day Los Dos Mojos.

Also please remove the video "AM" for Misanthrope Supreme, as the character in question is an intelligent supercomputer and the trope is about human characters who have a burning hatred for other humans.

Trimming the hedges, one trope at a time.

What is the policy for just-started tropes? Are we supposed to wait a little before including them in secondary tropes for existing videos, to make sure they stick?

If that's not considered a problem, then on My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, for the video "Twilight the human", please add the recent Bemoaning the New Body as a secondary trope; the scene is already listed among the examples:

• When Twilight Sparkle becomes human for the first time, she unleashes a horrified Skyward Scream and has a massive panic attack, but she does get used to this new form over time.

Thanks in advance.
