Why is "ANYTHING related to Santa Claus" listed?

I don't know. I moved it to Undead Horse Trope, because many tropes relating to Santa Claus still see active use every December, and not just in older works. And yes, these tropes have been parodied and subverted dozens of times, but they're not entirely discredited. So they belonged there instead on this list.

Shouldn't "The Chosen One" be on here?

People still use it. Sometimes they even do it in an interesting fashion. It's too broad a trope to be discredited.

And Ethnic Scrappy shouldn't be on here, as much as we'd like it to be.

"The Chosen One" is a lot more alive and well then the cut and paste note. I mean how many CSI episodes do you see white a cut and paste note? I've never seen one and I imagine if they did one in an episode they'd get a mountain of information and have dialog about how lousy a way it is to send a message in this day and age.

Diablo 3 is not a good example for "Real is Brown". Real is brown is where realistic games have oddly desaturated/browned-out colours. While Uncharted is a good example of a game having a full colour pallet and being realistic, Diablo 3's graphics are cartoonish, chunky and intentionally unrealistic, similar to Super Mario Galaxy or World of Warcraft

Mirrors edge would be a better example, being brightly colourful but realistic
