The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
Well, it's fairly close, though I believe it has to be drama that's unintentionally funny alongside those things. Generally when something's Narm, the drama falls flat, but when drama falls flat, it's not necessarily Narm.
The thing is, a lot of examples are just people saying that they think a scene or show is stupid. But the big question is, "what is the name of the trope about misapplied tropes?"
If you're gonna say something, try and make sure you're right first, not afterwards.
No, BUT you did lead me to it. It was Square Peg Round Trope. Thanks, Micah.

I'm trying to remember where we put examples of common mistakes about tropes. I thought it was "misapplied trope," but it wasn't. It's usually filled with examples of tropes that have a lot of people Complaining About Shows You Dont Like. One solid example is that rather than put in an example of Narm when listing a show on its page, they'll list the show and say that the drama fell flat or it was overblown, which isn't Narm exactly, is it?
