Funny / TV Tropes Examples

* Digimon, Pokémon, Monster Rancher and a slew of others make up A Boy and His Mons.

** And I always thought those shows were for children.

** Several anti-drug campaigns now feature the term "alcohol and illegal drugs..." However, this is just as bad: these ads are targeted towards minors, to whom alcohol is an illegal drug... Largely this can be said to be a form of Stealth Cigarette Commercial: the term "drugs" has been so linked, morally to "illegal drugs" that even anti-drug groups are shy about associating things like Alcohol and Tobacco with the phrase, even though they both meet the technical requirements.

First season of the anime is in the can, and I just have to say, 07-Ghost has the highest Ho Yay density of any non-porny show I have EVER SEEN. It's "Over Nine Thousaaaaand!"

* TV Tropes! This was supposed to be a repository for medical information so doctors could cure any disease in the world, and now look at it!

...having to slog through a waist high swamp of incest feces.

* MANnosuke from Touhou Project fanon.

"Why LOOK at ARMPITS when you can LOOK at MANPITS!"

"Who needs FANservice when you can have MANservice!"

** Geez, that sounds like a Powerthirst ad...

Bellatrix Lestrange from Harry Potter, a Complete Monster whose love of Cold-Blooded Torture exceeds even Voldemort's. In fact, there are numerous occasions where Voldemort decides he has to stop Bellatrix from killing anyone (admittedly because killing them would ruin some plan of his, rather than out of any actual mercy, but even so...)

Oh, sure. 'Cause only Voldie can hold her back, right?

NOT AS WELL AS MOLLY, YOU BITCH.

"... a skyscraper filled with people who all play by this trope can only be the Microsoft tech support building."

* Cobra Commander of G.I. Joe, often described as a "faceless effeminate screechy man." Where other villains go into rages, Cobra Commander throws hissy fits.

** Hell, his threat level seems to be based on how deep his voice is.

** Two words: Billy. Zane. His performance is a special kind of genius — the unintentional kind. In one scene, Cal starts shooting at Jack and Rose as the ship is sinking. As one critic put it, "Oh no! I hope he doesn't shoot them! They might drown!"

Keiichi from Ah! My Goddess went through the transformation in an episode where he was working with Urd's potion ingredients. He checks his new... bumpers in the trope-specified way, then discovers he is still male from the waist down... and his lower half is pretty excited about the additions on the upper floors.

* "Sucks to your ass-mar!" from Lord of the Flies.

** Quite a bit of ''Lord of the Flies' is rendered Narmful because some of the descriptions sound suspiciously sexual. Freud Was Right!

*** A bunch of boys naked on an island saying things like "sucks to your ass-mar". What do you mean, it's not homoerotic?

Asuka: Shinji, you suck.
Shinji: Yeah? Well, let's see how you feel after I strangle you. Cue the light, happy jazz-pop!

— Toastyfrog's End of Evangelion: Thumbnail Theatre

** Sailor Moon: The dub also accidentally created the Unusual Euphemism "talented" for "breast size". The characters were trying out for the play Snow White and Makoto says she should be chosen because of her breasts. The dub version had her refer to her being the most talented instead, but didn't edit the gesture that made it abundantly clear what Lita (dub name for Makoto) meant by talented.

** Then there was the scene where the villain Mimete's bare leg is bopping up and down from off screen which pans to reveal that she's... playing twister. In the dub this scene is even saucier as Mimete's voice actress makes all sorts of sultry moans during it.

** Neflyte's reaction upon seeing Sailor Moon transform for the first time:

Negi: What's this? This man is naked and...
Chisame: DON'T YOU DARE TURN ANOTHER PAGE!!!
Haruna: It's kind of hard to get regular people to understand our hobbies. Right Chisame-san?
Chisame: Then don't friggin' bring 'em-!!

* A group of armed militants in Kashmir stopped to have some pudding in a cave hideway...shared by a bear. The bear killed two and severely injured a third.

* To clarify, the cave was shared, not the pudding.

* Note: This may be why the bear attacked.

** In an extra on the DVD version of "Earthshock", Adric survives the spaceship crash, lands on prehistoric Earth... and is promptly eaten by a Tyrannosaurus. A detatched Cyberman head remarks, "Excellent".

Internet example: fanfiction.net. If yaoi fangirls were dragonflies, this site (the Kingdom Hearts section in particular) would be a summer pond the size of Texas.

Anyone engaging in Close Combat with the Sisters of Battle in Warhammer 40,000.

Blessed Emperor, why must that instantly inspire terrible period jokes?

* Neon Genesis Evangelion. Long story short, do not get the Humongous Mecha mad at you. Ever.

** Because it will EAT you, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

Black Pope is not a new movie starring Martin Lawernce.

* An interesting variation of this pops up in the pilot when River climbs out of the box. Though you don't see anything from the first few shots, the camera then switches to a far-off, wide-angle shot of the entire bay that shows River very clearly, in which nothing is covering her up, but the camera is so far off that you can't see anything distinct about her.

** Is it the same with the High-Def Blu-ray disc?

*** No, you can still see nothing.

* Supposedly Rachel Green's pregnancy was written into the plot of Friends because Jennifer Aniston expressed her plan to start a family with Brad Pitt.

** The same Joey's broken arm in another episode.

*** He expressed a plan to start a family with Brad Pitt?

*** Clearly he expressed it too much and Jenn had to break his arm.

* "The only traditions of the Royal Navy are rum, sodomy and the lash." — Sir Winston Churchill never said this; his personal secretary, Anthony Montague-Browne, said that although Churchill did not say this, he wished he had.

** Note that the British Navy abolished the practice of flogging in 1948, and that rum rations were discontinued in 1970. The modern navy runs on sodomy, and sodomy alone.

To a non-American, a Yankee is an American. To an American, a Yankee is a Northerner. To a Northerner, a Yankee is a Northeasterner. To a Northeasterner, a Yankee is a New Englander. To a New Englander, a Yankee is a Vermonter. To a Vermonter, a Yankee is someone who has pie for breakfast.

* The Wizard of Oz: The Wicked Witch of the West, opening the door to severe Leather Petticoating.

** Hey, bitch stole her shoes - that shit don't fly in the merry old land of Oz.

* Averted in the Cthulhu Mythos. While the Great Old Ones and the Outer Gods are "merely" immensely powerful extradimensional entities, they are often referred as gods and worshipped by various cults (after all, what else do you call something like Yog-Sothoth, who is eternal, omniscient and pretty much all-powerful, not to mention completely unbound by our 4-dimensional universe?).

Every Batman movie has a new girl for the Batmeister who will only get mentioned if she's lucky. Catwoman probably eats them.

The Land Before Time is notable (and was quite controversial at the time) for being the first major franchise to feature a cast comprised of five different dinosaur species: Littlefoot, an Apatosaurus; Cera, a Triceratops; Ducky, a Saurolophus; Petrie, a Pteradon; and Spike, a Stegosaurus. In fact, even though the films consistently establish "Longnecks" as the most important characters, and even despite the embarrassingly stereotypical speech patterns and muteness of Petrie and Spike, respectively, credit really must be given for the portrayal of the different species existing in relative equality and harmony. Complaints continue to issue forth, however, from various "Three-Horn" advocacy groups, who insist that Triceratops are not the loud-mouthed, opinionated trouble-makers portrayed in the films, and that they do not disagree with everything everybody says.

* Henry Kissinger: Destroyed democracies in Latin America. Bombed civilians in Asia. Said of loyalty, honour and civilisation: "I am afraid those things have no place in the modern world." Looks like a combination of Eugene Levy and a frog. And still got more in a year than you ever will in your entire life. Fuck.

Any real life examples, and we put your fingers through a meat grinder.

* Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty: The president is a friendly guy. So friendly, in fact, that upon meeting bishounen hero Raiden, he decides to greet Raiden with a friendly cup check to make sure he's not a chick.

** An extremely elongated, gentle cup check. You know you've been playing Metal Gear too long when things like that stop seeming strange.

** The above picture is a fan's version of this very scene.

Raiden: YOU ARE THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER.

They're basically 12-foot-tall, hairless, blue, bipedal lemurs.

* Yeast infections: proof that God is real and a sadist.

In the Hellsing television series, it appears as though Incognito enjoys stewed babies. Possibly; it is a little hard to tell what exactly he's eating there, but it sure looks like stewed babies.

* CSI: Miami had an episode ("Cyber-lebrity") where a girl's entire life seems ruined because of a photo (not even showing nudity) of her posted on the Internet. To the point where people are trying to kill her. Then they go after Horatio, uncovering confidential information within minutes, because It's A Small Net After All. And Flashmobs show up with a speed and fanatical interest over said girl that, in real life, wouldn't happen if Britney Spears was french-kissing Lindsay Lohan buck naked on top of a circus trapeze in the middle of Times Square with dancing leprechauns doing the macarena in time to music supplied by the Rolling Stones. At noon on a weekday.

The Prestige had a montage near the end that revealed—ahem—that would be telling, and a magician never tells his secrets.

A trope is you! Do you know how your computer works? You might know it involves ones and zeros, maybe some HTML and Java, but that's it.

Fan Nickname: Willow the Vampire Flayer.

A Golgo 13 kewpie. A GODDAMN GOLGO 13 KEWPIE. A GOLGO, THE DEADLIEST ASSASSIN IN THE WORLD. KEWPIE. Not that the Devilman and Sirene kewpies are any less insane, but c'mon.

* This, along with many other horrifically violent happenings, occurs in the first 10 minutes of the anime, Elfen Lied.

** Anybody else notice where it landed? Granted, it had no actual force of impact, and so it probably didn't physically hurt the unlucky target, but smart money says that guard couldn't get it up again for weeks.

** Not to mention Kanon himself, who is quite pretty and expresses more concern for Schneizel than an advisor should for a boss. Side materials state that he's a crossdresser who had a hard time getting a job until Schneizel hired him for his talents and didn't mind his peculiar tastes.

*** So, Schneizel's HoYay ship is Kanon?

Dawson's Creek. No black people, even in the Boston episodes.

Except the High School principal and his daughter, played by black actors.

They had black people being portrayed by black actors? Will wonders never cease.

Roger from American Dad! turns into a dirty cop when he joins the police force in one episode... about three hours after joining, no less.

Took him that long?

* Apparently Aladdin couldn't afford buttons for his vest. Or a shirt.
** Or nipples.
** He can't afford anything:

WALL•E: A sudden, huge wallbang moment that nearly got this troper kicked out of the theater. In the final bits of the movie, a spaceship generating its own artificial gravity IS SHOWN TO TIP TO THE SIDE BECAUSE EVERYONE MOVED TO THAT SIDE. Like a boat on the sea. Despite the fact that they were in a vacuum. Because that's how gravity works in deep space. Seriously. My brain tried to crawl out and cry in the bathroom.

* In the Twilight film, Bella certainly has a collection of such emotions◊.

** Why don't her eyebrows move? WHY DON'T HER EYEBROWS MOVE?!

** Is... Is she actually acting? Or is she just really queasy all the time?

*** From what I understand, both main actors hate the series now, but only an idiot would turn down the biggest movie role since Harry Potter. So, in short, the latter.

*** Robert Pattinson actually preferred doing more obscure movies before Harry Potter. That was, arguably, one of his first big roles. He had no idea what he was getting himself into with Twilight.

*** A chance to kiss Kristen Stewart and a shit load of money?

*** Having no choice but to kiss Kristen Stewart and still not enough money to make it worth it.

** Which turned out be the case. To top it all off, she marks her departure from the show by becoming a God-Mode Sue with powers equal to Clark's. Suetiful to the last.

*** Not just equal, but she also radiates Kryptonite. Making her the most lethal person in the entire world to Clark. Yes folks, that is right, Lana Lang is now the one person in the entire world, who if the circumstances made it so, could slaughter pre-Superman in a fight. If you'll excuse me, there's a wall that my cranium has an appointment with.

Is it even possible for a band to be better than they sound?

** Just for the sake of curiosity, are there any Dobby/Grawp fics out there?

*** Unfortunately, yes. (NSFW link)

* Nobody mentioned Fullmetal Alchemist? Several of the Homunculi qualify for this. The manga version of Envy turns into a monster-thing with screaming faces randomly scattered across its body. Pride has a Living Shadow full of eyes. And mouths. And he's based on Father's original form, a blob of shadow with a single eye and mouth; Father eventually turns into a walking, eye- and mouth-covered man made of shadows. He doesn't even bother to form a normal face, having a single enormous eye and a too-wide mouth where his head would be. Yeesh.

** So he/they are living eyeshadow?

* The Phantom of the Opera, especially the silent film.

** Although, in the most recent film adaptation, many people found the unmasking during "The Point of No Return" more Narm than drama.

*** IT'S TERRIBLE, HE HAS A BAD SUNBURN! Christine, run!

That's it. I can't keep it a secret any longer. Count Dracula is a vampire, an undead creature from folklore that drinks the blood of the living.

The countries Canada and USA in eRepublik have a treaty that says they will "never give up on each other, never let each other down, and never run around or desert one another."

* One Pizza Hut commercial had Miss Piggy cheerfully biting into a slice of pepperoni.

** Or ordering the Grand Slam at Denny's, which is served with sausage or bacon.

** To be fair, Miss Piggy is made out of felt.

*** To be fair, so is the food at Denny's.

*** Oh snap.

C-Could it be? The — the Super Smash Bros. Brawl daily site updates!! Oh! Masahiro Sakurai, the game's master of ceremonies, writes in a heartwarming, dramatic, mildly awkward style, clearly dragged from another language — rumour has it that it might be the fault of the localisers. Could that be...ambiguity? And then there's lots! Of! Strange punctuation? And! Onomatopoeia! Whaaaaaaaaaah!! (laughs)

* The earth died SCREAMING!

** For that matter, anything Tom Waits says or sings, ever. The man could ask you to pass the salt and make it sound like a funeral dirge.

* Ever boil a lobster live before? They shriek. Loudly. As they die. In front of you. On your stove.

** You're boiling things alive and your main concern is that they won't die quietly?

Humanity runs on this. How many foods are created by letting something spoil under specific conditions? Pickles, cheese, salami, beer, butter, etc. Basically, the invention of new food goes something like this:

* Tsukuyomi. Seriously, you could take the dialogue from the fight scene with Setsuna and replace it with porn and no one would know the difference.

** That makes me die a little inside.

*** Right this way, then.

Hang on, hang on. Lancelot came in to rescue her, had sex with her and then left without rescuing her? What a dick!

*** Don't do it with yourself, do it with Kamina, who does it with you!

We apologize that "egregious" now no longer looks like a word.

Oh, so the males got off easy then.

Take a sip for every mention Bella from Twilight makes of Edward's Supernatural Gold Eyes, marble skin that sparkles in the sunlight, or his overall beauty being comparable to an angel's. You'll be under the table in no time. Twilight: Causing liver failure worldwide!

"From Chamber of Secrets", we have the magical car that saves Harry and Ron from the spiders just in time. True, it was in the Forbidden Forest, but that was months ago. The chances of it coming just in time is blatantly impossible, and there's the fact that it would have run out of gas and oil a long time ago."

* What are the two things everyone remembers about Power Girl?

"Luke Skywalker, Destroyer of Worlds."

* The Jedi mind trick doesn't work on two groups of sentient beings: exceptionally smart ones and exceptionally dumb ones.

"The giant robot monster emerges and begins to GROW in size, threatening the MANHOOD of all the male superheroes. He challenges the other members to DISPLAY their MANHOOD and COMPARE it against his to see whose is LARGER. The battle only serves to EXCITE the beast. It FEEDS off the EXPULSIONS of their MANLINESS and makes him HARDER. The PPGs intervene by forming a giant flaming PUSSY cat and attack the villain. The PUSSY cat RUBS UP AGAINST the robot's HARD exterior making it HOTTER and HOTTER. Eventually the HEAT from the RUBBING reaches a critical point causing him to SCREAM OUT and SHRINK into a SMALLER version of himself. The male superheroes are so grateful for the PPGs' PERFORMANCE that they wish to SUBMIT to the girls' superiority. The girls PUNISH them for their behavior by making them wear dresses. Not too surprising considering how well their PUSSY WHIPPED that monster."

* Mikaela from the live-action version of Transformers . She herself asks Sam, "Do you think I'm shallow?" in the first film. To which he replies, "No, there's more to you than meets the eye." Except that no, there isn't.

* Every "Movie" movie by Seltzer and Friedberg (such as Epic Movie, Meet The Spartans, and Disaster Movie) is all about hanging lampshades when it's not shoehorning pop culture references. But then they explain what the lampshade is hanging over. Hence, it ends up more horrible than Troperiffic.

* And if your Internet access is horrendously expensive, spending all day at TV Tropes could well become this, too.

* Even better, there is a type of bird known as "booby", plural "boobies".

"I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the vandal who blanks Wikipedia's 'Crime' article! I am Darkwing Duck!"

Sanford is an attempt to do Sanford and Son without the Son.

Vriska from Homestuck would embody this trope were opinions on her not split further than the San Andreas Fault.

* In the Ramada in York, the fire advisory signs say "Do not take unnecessary risks, but if possible, attack the fire with the instruments provided." In Edinburgh? "Attack the fire with the instruments provided." Wot's dat ye say? "Oonnecessary reesk"? We don't be knoowin' any o' dat arooun' here!"

* Although the infomercial for the Ronco Miracle Blade III set features shots of actors doing exactly what you'd expect knives to do, like cutting a turkey, but the first shot shows an actress stabbing a tomato with an inappropriate knife and apparently hitting the artery.

** Dolphins and whales. People have been injured while swimming with dolphins because they got a little too excited.

*** So, they're like a water-land version of Boldly Coming?

* Oh come on guys — Ichi from Ichi the Killer is this in spades. Albeit, he's assassinating people while he cries — not to mention jacking off as well.

* Uchiha Sasuke's good looks coupled with the fact that All Girls Want Bad Boys have gotten him hordes of admirers, all who blush and Squee at the sight of him, which he finds incredibly annoying and has no patience for it. The worst of them is Karin, who kept one of his sweat-drenched shirts for herself, and planned on "ravaging him after everyone went to bed".

** Nobody will ever understand the torment I feel. The torment of an extremely attractive ninja who is lusted after by pretty much every girl he's ever met. Mine is indeed a tormented existence, filled with torment. And girls. Girls with their breasts. They torment me so.

"This X-23 character is pretty popular among kids ... we should bring her into comics."

"Let's make her a child prostitute!"

"BRILLIANT!"

*A Song of Ice and Fire: Good luck guessing who is ultimately behind any given act of villainy.

**Hodor.

"Pretty much happens to anything scary if you choose to face your fears directly. Except for guns. Please do not face guns directly."

* The music video for "Disturbia" by Rihanna. It looks like if Nightmare Fuel manifested itself in music video form, and didn't care about whether it made any sense or not.

* The film Elf, a film unabashedly related to the Christmas holiday starring, y'know, one of Santa's elves, had the tagline of "This Holiday, Discover Your Inner-Elf". Presumably in the film, the cast learns the true meaning of Holiday.

* Science fiction convention committees (and fans who have been in the scene long enough) aren't even going to bat an eyelash when it comes to wacky hijinks, people of all points on the race/age/gender/sexuality spectrum, and strange ideas. They'll merely sigh and put another rule in the convention guidelines about not using peanut butter in a cosplay or transforming the mattress and hotel staircase into an impromptu sled competition next year.

* SpongeBob and Patrick of SpongeBob SquarePants.
** Technically, SpongeBob is asexual, but Heteroromantic.
*** They may have meant biologically.
*** In which case he's hermaphroditic.
*** There's a difference between No Biological Sex and both genders.
*** Do you understand what you're debating?
*** Yes, a fictional sponge's sex life. Welcome to TV Tropes.

If you're really desperate and Martin Sheen isn't available, you can hire Joe Estevez on the cheap.

* It's...right there on your game system itself.

* In Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Dirk hypnotizes Richard, and implants the suggestion that whenever he hears the phrase "my maiden aunt from Winnipeg" he should immediately take off all his clothes and jump in the nearest canal. It's a roundabout way of making a point about ghostly possession and free will.

TV Tropes must be one of the few places you can type "kitten" in the search engine and wind up reading about the mafia.

"A quick breakdown of police brutality trends in fiction: the LAPD beats your ass and then decides what crime you committed; the NYPD shoots you a few dozen times then pronounces you innocent; 1930s cops are drunk Irishmen who beat you up for being Italian; 1960s cops are sober Irishmen who beat you up for having long hair, or are old White evangelicals with a thick drawl who beat you up for being not-White; old-fashioned British Coppers beat you up for being a foreigner or minority suspected of loitering; big town cops beat you up for being a foreigner or minority suspected of terrorism; small town cops pull you over, tell you that your tail light is busted, and then bust your tail light with a nightstick when you ask which one (and give you a ticket for it)."

* That scene in Beauty and the Beast where Lumiere is chasing a maid/feather duster around behind the curtains: "Oh no!" "Oh yes!" Especially when we saw the maid again after the spell was broken.

** "But I've been burned by you before!" In normal circumstances, a way of saying one is an unreliable partner. When a candelebra is holding a (wooden-handled) featherduster?

** Any attempts to figure out what on Earth she could be talking about tend to tie the brain into knots.

** If you're not sure what she could mean, consider that the most flammable part of her is her feathers — that is, her skirt, and his hands and head are flame.

** In the song Be Our Guest Lumiere also says he needs Far more than dusting.

** The following 'exercise, a chance to use our skills' becomes a bit dubious with that interpretation.
*** My childhood!

* A Japanese legend involves a demon hidden in a woman's vagina, who would bite off men's penises until he broke his teeth on a specially-made steel dildo. The legend is commemorated with the Kanamara Matsuri, Festival of the Steel Penis where people eat loads of phallic pastries.

* One Inuit legend involved a guy meeting some woman like this, who really, really wanted to have sex with him. He used a stick in place of his own body, and broke the teeth. Possibly then he had sex with her or he opened up a Japanese pastry shop.

* In Star Trek, pon farr in Vulcans can be compared to this, with the added drama of having to Mate or Die. Notable in that both males and females are affected.

** Fridge Logic would dictate that this means all of the Slash Fic writers are comparing Captain Kirk to a tampon.

* A-fucking-VERTED in Glee once Kurt and Blaine kissed. It was not a blink-or-you-miss-it peck, it was not played up to boost ratings (even the actors weren't completely sure until they were given their scripts!), and it came after an extremely touching Love Epiphany that was free of angst, guilt, or impulse. And then after catching their breath, Kurt and Blaine practically attacked each other! Not for nothing is this all over LGBT news, YouTube, and Twitter.

** To put it another way, Glee — a mainstream comedy on FOX - took this trope, kicked it in the balls, made it their bitch, and then sent it running away with its tail between its legs while squealing like a 60s House Wife confronted with a spider. This was a full-on, Hays-Code-breaking makeout session, possibly with tongue (it looked like it had tongue, anyway).

* YOUR PARENTS HAD SEX.

** NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

*** AND YOUR GRANDPARENTS.

*** MY EYES! MY POOR VIRGIN EYES!

*** SEARCH YOUR VHS TAPES, YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE!

* The Fire Nation use a giant drill as a siege weapon in Avatar: The Last Airbender. (episode title: "The Drill")

Good observation, Sherlock.

* The Simpsons: the season four Treehouse of Horror ("Treehouse of Horror III", production code 9F04, for you rabid fans) where Homer gets Bart a cursed Krusty doll from a Chinese man's curio shop filled with cursed and weird objects from around the world.

** But it comes with a free frogurt!

** The frogurt is also cursed.

** But you get your choice of topping!

** The toppings contain potassium benzoate (that's bad).

*** And the doll wasn't even cursed, despite coming from an occult curio shop run by a strange Chinese man. The doll had a "good/evil" switch on its back that someone flipped on "evil".

* Bruce Almighty. The title character uses god-powers to exact ironic revenge on some guys who taunted him earlier in the film. Really the wrong time to say that the chances of something happening were as low as the chance of a monkey climbing out of your ass.

** And even worse, when he's done with the monkey, he has it go back where it came from.

** So a Butt-Monkey produces a butt monkey?

No, not last week's leftover tuna casserole.

* Natsuru, main character of Kämpfer, in the anime. S/he was already dumb as a brick with special needs in the manga and light novel, but the anime went up to eleven and turned hir into a character thinking exclusively with hir non-existent penis... while being Oblivious to Love. Consequentially, s/he spends most of the series just sorta standing there with a dazed and confused expression, not even bothering to do much fighting or noting the Obviously Evil characters, or wondering what the smeg was going on with the secret magical girl war s/he was drafted into, or why the hot girls kept blushing around hir and taking hir out to eat... S/he is also a Pinball Protagonist, doing absolutely nothing of relevance whatsoever other than obliviously make all the lesbians in the room damp.

Yami Yugi: Dude, don't you think you're overreacting a little? I mean, it's just a card game.

Kaiba: (about to jump off a castle battlement) Card games are serious business!

— Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series

90% of the humor and 50% of the violence on The Powerpuff Girls (1998) is disturbingly Freudian. Just try to watch the episodes "Members Only" and "The Boys Are Back in Town" without wanting to take a cold shower. Seriously — "Whenever their masculinity is threatened, they shrink in size." Apparently, this is what happens when an action series stars little girls.

In short, Denny and Alan are dripping with more Ho Yay than every other example on this page. Combined. They're dripping with so much Ho Yay nobody mentions it because doing so would be tantamount to pointing at water and saying, "That's wet."

* The ancient Romans once referred to giraffes as "cameleopards", believing them to be the result of a leopard mating with a camel.

The TV Tropes logo wears one, although whether it's drunk or not is up to opinion.

"I'd be pretty messed up too if my father was voiced by Mark Hamill."

A list of all the occurrences of this trope in Star Trek turned out to be longer than the Universe and collapsed into a black hole that we were only barely able to reverse by rewriting the list in reverse order, so let's just leave it at those two.

Through most of the first season of Code Lyoko, any time Yumi Ishiyama entered the scene, the camera would spend several seconds focusing on her feet as she walked. Granted, she was wearing her big gray boots at the time, but she also has bath scenes with close-ups focusing on several parts of her naked body, her feet included. She is 14 years old. Hooray for wholesome family entertainment!

The most horrifying sound from Ocarina of Time? ''Hey! Listen!''

Revolutionary Girl Utena: Name an episode that doesn't have someone being slapped. Forget duels, slapping is the prefered method of doing harm to someone in the show.

* Durarara!!: Shinra, after Izaya trolls him by handing his cellphone number to the police.

Izaya: How was it? Gave you quite the adrenaline shot, didn't it? Did you and Celty just grow to love each other even more due to the misattribution of arousal?
Shinra: Ah hah hah. Go die chest-first in a clay ice shaver, Izaya.

* If it's written by CLAMP, the fans give it a homosexuality coupon (valid even with most homophobes), a bizarre, twisted incomprehensible symbolic mysticism coupon, an inappropriate-romantic-pairing coupon, a Xanatos Roulette coupon, an Impossibly Cool Clothes coupon, and probably several others. Reasons are unclear, but usually boil down to either "the story/characterization is too engaging" and/or "you can no more ask CLAMP to stop doing any of these things than you can ask the Washington Monument to tap dance".

* Of course, human history is nothing compared to the history of the universe. 13,700,000,000 years, and still going strong.

** YMMV. Some fans have decided that the universe started only a few thousand years ago.

*** Ron/Snape must be... Wait a second...

*** Snon?

*** Rape.

My god. It's like somebody loaded Lifetime and the Sci-Fi Channel into opposite ends of a particle accelerator.

Hideyoshi fits this trope perfectly. The series is even aware of it, as whenever there is a possible point to insert fanservice, they make sure she is there. Dressed in various costumes including nurse and maid, and appears as the round girl (girl holding up the round number) in various suggestive positions and clothes. The only part that doesn't fit is her flat chest, but for some, that's also an appealing factor... Wait... HE'S A GUY?

The Star Trek: Voyager episode "Threshold". So Tom Paris breaks the "transwarp barrier", right? And this results in being in every location in the universe at once. Somehow this makes him evolve into a higher order of being... which turns out to be a Mudkip-like lizard thing who can't breathe air. He kidnaps The Captain and they run away in said transwarp barrier-breaking ship. They are discovered within range and the crew find them on a beach together having just had a small litter of Mudkip babies. (Repeat: Paris had children with Cap'n Janeway. While they were both Mudkips.) The babies are still out there presumably but everything else is reset with "antimatter injections". Got all that? Okay, because this is the one episode out of all the Star Trek episodes ever made that is considered Canon Discontinuity, to the point that in "Timeless", Tom Paris himself mentions that he has never traveled in transwarp before. Never.

10,000 Maniacs - can anyone name a member besides Natalie Merchant? And who knew that the band didn't dissolve when she went solo? To be fair, there were still 9,999 of them left

Fi from Skyward Sword. When unlocking the various tunes for the Goddess Harp, she sings. Mouths should not move like that.

* Godzilla is king of the monsters. Are you king of the monsters? No. You're too small.

* Screams Like a Little Girl: Oh, Sam...

* Skyward Scream: "THE VOW I MADE WAS FOR HUUUUUEEEEEEEERRRRRRRGGGGHHH!!!"

** "There's no need to shout."

Fan-Preferred Couple: Don't even start.

Da Orks are a 'n-ooniverse example! 'Ur av'rage Grot is puny and no match for 'nyone 'cept maybe one o' dem puny 'umie Guardsmen, but give 'im a few years an' he'll be a full-fledged Boy 'oo can crump a panzee 'umie easy and be a good enuff threat to a Space Marine!

* Subtext: Several places. The subtext corners the text in a dark alley, beats it up, and steals its lunch money in the sequence of strips starting here.

* What the Hell, Hero?: An odd case; Fluttershy is called out by her friends, but not because she does something morally objectionable, but because she wants to help Discord.

** Uhhhh...

Meanwhile, in Amsterdam, a pair of teenagers are menaced by a humanoid chicken with a label-gun. ...stop laughing!

* Celibate Hero: Batman pretty much gives Wonder Woman an entire laundry list of reasons why they won't be dating. The best is probably, "You're a princess from a race of immortal warriors while I'm a rich kid with issues. Lots of issues."

** It doesn't help that Bruce's other loves are (a) a woman who turned into a murderous vigilante, (b) a criminal, (c) the daughter of a man who wants to Kill All Humans, and (d) Superman's girlfriend, and [according to Batman Beyond] (e) his best friend's daughter who started dressing like him as a teenager who was also in a long relationship with his adopted son. Someone relatively normal doesn't really work for him.

** You're forgetting (f) the magician (and fellow hero) he dated in his teens (she insists they're "just good friends" however, and not in that way...) and (g) the artificially-created plant woman who tried to kill him for his money.

** He presumably also added (h) the daughter of a mob strongman to his checklist.

** Don't forget (i) the half-cheetah scientist who just wanted someone to talk to.

** Wait, what trope were we discussing again?

*** Chick Magnet, I believe.

And the characters developed an inability to distinguish rice balls from donuts.

* Dwindling Party: Don't get too attached to the all those soldiers.

You're watching a series where power levels go continually escalate, mythology and aliens get rolled up into an insane mishmash and people treat the afterlife like it has a revolving door and your biggest complaint about the scientific hardness is that Gohan isn't sterile?!

* Arc Words: Yo dawg, we heard you like arc words, so we gave your arc words their own arc words so that they can... arc while... they... word? Whatever. The arc words are "I love you, Pinkie! Please wake up!", but those words are not revealed to the reader until near the end. Every time Pinkie hears them, the reader is greeted with "It said seven simple words to her..."

•Implausible Fencing Powers: The Guilt Legion (swordsmen) are like this. When repeatedly ordered to attack, they are relentless, merciless, and make julienne fries!

Perhaps more Fridge Logic-y, but one running theme is that Pennywise takes the shape of the things that scared its victims - often movie monsters. We see It become the Gillman, Frankenstein's monster, Bruce, The Mummy, and even the Teenage Werewolf. Then one boy is frightened by Rodan, causing Pennywise to take the form of... a lawyer-friendly, generic giant bird. It seems Toho's vicious copyright policies frighten even Eldritch Abominations.

Sorority Row is a 2009 film featuring the heartwarming story of a group of college girls who, in the process of helping their jilted friend find love, find true love themsel...

Wait, are you actually believing this crock of shit?

* Even the Guys Want Him: Kimihiro Watanuki. Remember the Love Triangle he thought he was in? Well... he is interested in Himawari Kunogi and she kinda likes him back, but it turns out his "love rival" Shizuka Doumeki isn't interested in Himawari like he believed, but in Watanuki himself. Oh, and you know Zashiki Warashi, that cute girl that's completely shy and has a huge crush on Watanuki? In all likelihood, "she" is a "he," according to a CLAMP interview where they say that her being female is not necessarily the case. Coupled with the fact that Zashiki Warashi spirits are normally described as being young boys and rarely being girls, along with how Ame-warashi usually says "this child" when referring to Zashiki Warashi instead of actually using a gender... yeah. Watanuki apparently has more luck with the male gender...

Touched by Vorlons — "Bad touched by Vorlons" is more like it, though...

Fake Nationality: While Mulan, Shang and Chi-Fu = Chinese-Americans, Mushu = African-American Shan Yu = Irish-Puerto Rican, Chien-Po, Ling, the head Ancestor, and the Emperor = Japanese-Americans, Yao = Jewish-American, Mulan's singing voice = Filipina, Shang's singing voice = Osmond-American, Fa Zhou = Korean-American

* Alma is standing right behind you... Made you look.

** Oh look, there goes any sleep I might have been getting for the next week. Yep, right out the door, and it's taking the car with it.

* Narm: Whenever somebody mentioned the Red Bull, I kept picturing the energy drink.

** "Red Bull: Gives you wings and pushes unicorns into the sea."

Guilty Pleasure: That or So Bad, It's Good. Admit it. It's a train wreck that spews out hair gel and STD's.

* Getting Crap Past The Radar: Lots.

** Radar? WHAT radar?!

** The Radar Had the Flu?

Tim Burton: Well, he's close enough to a trope nowadays.

Or maybe that Jack really, really sucks at being Santa Claus.

* Ken in general. He's the source of so many gay jokes...

Psy. It looks like Spike Spiegel's hair on crack.

Wangst: One of Raiden's lines in particular. It even raaaaiiiiiined the day I was born! :(

"Whether or not you found this sad or Narmy depends on whether or not you're Tommy Wiseau."

Legion money, on the other hand, is actually valued higher than caps because it's made of precious metals. It can also be combined with shotgun shells to form coin shot, which is a currency accepted EVERYWHERE.

* Fan-Preferred Couple: Victor/Emily as opposed to Victor/Victoria

** It's not uncommon to find fans who ship Emily with Bonejangles.

** *cough*EmilyAndJack*cough*

*** *cough* VICTORand Jack *cough*

* Gauron towards Sousuke.

** It is now completely canon. Watch the TSR comedy radio show where Gauron acts as the school's "sensei." Gato is doing this on purpose. Gauron orders Sousuke to write on the chalk board "Kashim loves Gauron Sensei. Heart. ♥" as well as "Gauron Sensei's extreme attack makes Kashim's heart pound. I want to have children with him." Followed by what appears to be an attempt to rape Sousuke in front of the class. Yay for subtlety.

* Shadow Archetype: Scary Gendo is scary.

** The second Shippuuden opening has a slow pan over Sasuke, who is stark naked except for a snake. No comment.

* The Hetalia movie is about as padded as a Japanese bra.

Expy: Jeph mentioned in a recent forum post that he designed Marigold to be essentially "an Anglicized version of Konata from Lucky Star."

* So of course unlike Konata she's overweight, antisocial, and a complete slob. ... Did we mention the Eagleland thing above already? Okay good.

* Hello, readers. How much do you know about microwave power? Google it. Look at the results, now to me, now to the results, now back to me. Look again. The concept has become discredited.

** Now, Google "Three Mile Island accident". Look down. Now up. That too is no more. I'm doing a parody. (insert Old Spice theme here)

* Blatant Lies: At one point Joel denies having brought a soda into the theater, despite the fact that we heard him open the can and saw him drink from it.

** Fridge Brilliance: There was no soda. The soda was found, unopened and cold in the refrigerator.

*** Fridge Logic: By saying that, you suggest this episode had a plot having anything to do with the movie. That suggests the very thing the writers say isn't true: that it had a plot.

* Riddle for the Ages: Why do the Gentlemen need those hearts?

** To fill the jars?

*** Oh wow. Stealth Pun, thy name is Christina Perri.

* Surreal Music Video: What the hell happened again in "Take Me Out"?

Mangodog: I too have had Hunger Games on the brain.

* Mercy Kill: Wow, is every trope about Old Yeller about the ending?

* Serious Business: After Bulls guard Ron Harper slips on some spilled orange soda, injuring himself, all of Chicago is out to get Kenan & Kel. And Chris.

** If it was MJ himself, they would've been dead within the hour.

* Jade-Colored Glasses: Enough is enough. Ted has had it with these motherfucking signs from the motherfucking universe. Everyone strap in. He's gonna make some fuckin' decisions on his own.

* Some parts of this film skip being bizarre and practically start off in the freakin' twilight zone.

** "Submitted for your approval, a journey into the mind of a duck as he searches for his Latin American soulmate." *Beat* looks confusedly and worriedly at his cigarette "What the hell is in this thing?"

Somewhere, Michael Bay is watching this movie, dabbing a tissue at the single Manly Tear at the corner of his eye, and whispering, "it's beautiful". Then he throws away the tissue. And it explodes.

** Somewhat averted with "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" in that the song ultimately preaches a higher level of tolerance and peace in the world through a "don't sweat the small stuff" mentality.

*** "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" promotes a Grey-and-Gray Morality view of racism, or maybe even Black-and-Gray Morality. Either of those is very different from the Black-and-White Morality more common to racism in fiction, especially racism in fiction aimed at children like Sesame Street. The Aesop of "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" isn't necessarily incorrect or immoral, but it is still family unfriendly.

*** Black-and-White Morality about racism? That carries a lot of Unfortunate Implications. You're a little bit racist!

* 'Monsters' sometimes face mild discrimination — with their only biological difference being fur as opposed to... cloth... covering their bodies.

** Well, Kate is pretty much a fuzzy human, but Trekkie looks like he stepped out of a sexually frustrated version of Where the Wild Things Are.

* Dynamic Entry: Haruhi gives the Computer Club president one with both legs at once.

** That may set a new standard for jaw-dropping Accidental Innuendo.

Rock Smash is Cut... IN CAVES, BUT ALSO SOMETIMES OUTSIDE AS WELL!

* Common Sense: Subverted.

I Have No Funnel, And I Must Steam

They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: Most people who watched the original as children (or even as parents) are horrified by Special Delivery Service. HELICOPTERS?! AND A TRAIN?! AND ETHNIC PEOPLE?! AND WHERE THE HELL ARE GRANNY DRYDEN AND MISS HUBBARD?!

* Big Bad: Nightmare Freddy, if the pre-release material is of any indication. Except not, the actual Big Bad is the kid's absolute douchebag of a brother.

* Fan Disservice: Naked Ben Grimm might be appealing to ladies... but unfortunately, he's seen naked after turning into the Thing, and we're treated to several shots of his rocky ass.

** Everything's Better With Cows

*** The HELL it is

* Artistic License – Medicine: Rose does not respond to the brothers and appears tremulous and in a wheelchair, but it is unclear how Sam concluded she had a stroke.

** He used the most common form of logical deduction, of course: He guessed!

*Badass Boast:"I have bested fruit, spike and moon!"Admittedly it would sound incredibly silly used in any other context.In this context, though, its badass-level is somewhere between single-handedly crushing the universe into paste and ripping out someone's intestinal tract and using it as a belt.

** "Glim Glim"'s ending can best be summed up like this: Daddy killed your friend and doomed mankind in the process, Merry Christmas!

Final verdict: Jimmy Nakata is bad. Very, very bad. And it's not the kind of bad that Fuuto, a city accustomed to Dopant attacks, would be ready for. No. It's duck-and-cover, phone-your-loved-ones, close-shop-for-the-day, viable-threat-to-public-health, pigeons-falling-from-the-sky-like-flies BAD.

** At one point in the movie, the Master threatens to kill Torgo because of his failure. Joel and the bots play this as the Master firing Torgo. One says, "You can't kill me, I quit!" which, you know, the suicide thing.

** During the closing credits, Crow wonders of John Reynolds, who played Torgo, "Do you think he's proud of this role?" The attention the episode brought to the film revealed that Reynolds was actually a very disturbed man who abused various drugs and, well, you can probably guess by now.

* Ray Arnold in Jurassic Park came before Jackson's popularity really took off, and was easily his least Badass role: He was a grouchy computer nerd with a bad nicotine addiction who got killed off-screen by velociraptors (he wants you to hold onto your butts).

* Idiot Ball: For all the Genre Savvy and Leaning on the Fourth Wall Punk has been showing for a while now, it was quite grating when on the 8-22-11 edition of Raw he fell for the classic hey-look-at-me-I'm-a-guy-on-the-outside-of-the-ring-who-actually-can't-do-anything-to-you-hey-hey-over-here-now-that-I've-had-your-attenntion-for-several-seconds-turn-around-to-get-hit-with-the-finisher-of-the-guy-you-would-have-beat-if-you-weren't-an-idiot-lol-kthxbai.

Is she entertaining because she's an empowering example of women's rights? Or because she's an incredibly scary Humanoid Abomination?

* My Dad Can Beat Up Your Dad: Fine, when your dad is Batman, you can have bragging rights.

* Cute Bruiser: She's quite good at martial arts. You'd think Nanoha's starting her a bit early, and should be more concerned about teaching her to do things like make friends. Oh, wait...

* Messianic Archetype: Most blatantly during his death, where he is pierced in the side with Thymilph's spear. In several situations, Simon and Kittan ask themselves, "What would Kamina do?". Plus, he returns from the dead to save them all from the Lotus-Eater Machine.

** Proof◊.

*Kill Steal: Have you ever wanted to feel like an real pirate? Is there an giant wave of minions on the other side of Summoner's Rift but you're stuck farming your own lane? Are your teammates engaged in an teamfight in mid while you're splitpushing top? Do you feel like stealing your jungler's doubloons? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then get ready for an tale of grand larceny on the Field of Justice!

"Gorgeous Gaijin / Phenotype Stereotype / Gangsterland: Liz and Patti are blonde, wear cowboy boots, have the large breasts, and are former muggers who liked to get high. It's like the American dream."

[Near] just ain't L, and some fans can't quite accept that.

In defense of his anti-fans, it sure didn't help that his first lines consisted of him dispassionately calling L a loser.

Though he could have called him a loser in the sense he lost the game.

Mikami bears an uncanny resemblence to L. Makes you wonder what Light was thinking...

His entire reason for coming to the island is to punch his dad.

* Walking Spoiler: Not that unlike his brother, considering that he was the one who directly caused his brother's mental downfall (and possibly death), and inadvertently caused the fall of Fazbear Entertainment. And/or possibly the murders. And/or the Puppet becoming haunted. And/or the creation of Springtrap, by extension. Well done.

Large Ham: When she's acting as the announcer, she milks almost every single line like she wants to start her own dairy brand.

* No Social Skills: He has a touch of this in the first scene, when he meets Aaron Burr. His first lines to Burr can be summed up as,"Oh my God! You're an orphan? Me too! Wow, I wish there was a war.By the way, I may have punched a friend of yours in the face for calling me stupid.Do you want to be my friend?"(Hey, it worked, didn't it?)

* Punctuation Shaker: Assuming the apostrophe in her name is meant to be there and isn't a comma that died of despair in the previous line.

* Camp Gay: They speak in very feminine voices, they are prone to yelling "Here I come~!" before attacking, and their outfits include feathers. Not so much Camp Gay as Entire National Wildlife Preserve Gay.

** The hand in the toilet, I had to shit in a bag for weeks because I was terrified to sit on any toilet after that hand jumps out.

*** I don't know what squicks me more: the fact that you crapped in a bag, or the fact you did it for weeks.

** Followed directly by the statue cracking and him giving a seriously creepy Evil Laugh...

*** Wow Discord's laughing so hard he's ...*puts on sunglasses* cracking up YYYYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!­!!!

** As long as we're talking the final Ansem fight, World of Chaos (the ship) is pretty damn freaky even for this adult troper. That face... ick.
*** On the bright side, Giant Shirtless Ansem.
*** On the worse side, Giant Shirtless Ansem.
*** On the bright side, Giant Shirtless Ansem.

*** On the other hand, Giant Shirtless Ansem.

The man with the axe that is standing behind you right now.

** For this troper, considering what a creepy Ax-Crazy Complete Monster the guy is, it was rather unnerving to see Martin Keamy again. I was also more than thankful when Sayid shot the guy.

*** You know what is worse? This Troper literally got a sense of Uncanny Valley from him. You are not supposed to get Uncanny Valley from a real, living breathing person! I checked his previous appearances. Nada. But in Sundown, something about him just looked... wrong.

*** So very seconded. There was something very odd about his eyes— maybe contacts, maybe just lighting, but it was honestly hard to look at him.

*** Maybe it's the fact that this particularly evil Complete Monster is actually smiling. You know something's wrong when he's cheerful.

*** But you must admit, he makes great eggs.

Finally the greatest amount of Gorn in the movie: the GNR's neck tearing from the body, with spurts of blood coming from the neck. And then, the head falls off, with the neck muscles and SPINE exposed. And finally, the head SPLITS IN HALF AS HER LIMBS FALL APART AND THE ENTIRE BODY MELTS INTO A POOL OF BLOOD!

** I'm way ahead of you on that one◊.

** -Glasses Pull- Now that's one hell of a splitting headache.

*** Yeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhh!

* Peter's emo dancing scenes... all of them. Not only can you see a brilliant franchise crumbling before your eyes, but it's probably fair to say many people were horrified by what they were watching. If only it were a bad dream. Sadly, the scariest things aren't.

* In the final Tenth Doctor story, the Master is revived by a secret cult. But there is absolutely no indication that these people were aware that he was an evil Time Lord; he is technically being resurrected by a cult devoted to a dead Prime Minister. This is hilarious when you think about it.

** To understand the absurdity of the situation, it's like if members of the Labour Party were meeting in the dungeons of Transport House to bring Harold Wilson back to life.

*** ... If Harold Wilson had been telepathically manipulating a large percentage of the population for over a year before being elected.

*** I could imagine how certain circles might perform religious rituals to resurrect Ronald Reagan.

* Aizen's transformations to various forms have resulted in the following:

** "All hail Butterflaizen".

** KKK!Aizen.

** "Aizen has become Lady Gaga".

*** That's LORD Gaga to you!

*** Or the Lady!Butterfly Gaga!!!

** Gin's bankai should have been a flyswatter or a can of Raid.

* There's also Harley. Basically every thing about him is Ambiguously Gay. He even calls May "girlfriend" a few times. It's so blatant you'd have no idea how it didn't get any angry letters from soccer moms.

** He could be in love with May for all we know.

*** Bah, he ships her with Drew.

*** He wants his beloved to be happy and knows he's too old for her?

** Ambiguously Gay? What about this line?

** Yeah, try Camp Gay. There's nothing ambiguous about Harley.

** Also, of course, Silver's stripping scene. Silver, hating Team Rocket is not a good excuse for stripping people. Not that the fandom has any problem with it.

* Finally figured out why Curse is different between Ghost types and other types. Imagine a Slowpoke cursing!

** Thanks to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Wolf O'Donnell's "Can't let you do that, Star Fox!" has expanded so that Wolf can't let anybody do anything.

*** "Can't let you brew that, Starbucks!"

*** "Can't let you chew that, Starburst!"

*** "Can't let you view that, Firefox!"

*** THIS◊!!!

* In the same episode, Superman's solution to combat both Parasite's skin to skin power stealing powers and Livewire's electric powers is a (clear) full body latex body suit. Livewire's reaction: "Ooh, the boy scout brought protection!"

** Well, the Boy Scout motto is "be prepared."

Executive: So, um, we need a new toy line or something.

Developer: How about a series of disembodied pair of legs that have a parrot perched on the pelvis and an eyepatch on the left arse cheek? We could call them Butt Pirates.

Executive: Maybe. Any other ideas?

Developer: How about Anal Invaders? I can't think of what they'd be, but the name's pretty good, right?

Executive: (nods approvingly)

Developer: OH! How about a set of plastic rings with fighter jets on them? We could call them Ring Raiders.

Executive: Perfect! And we can make it into a cartoon series somehow!

Developer: For fuck's sake, Gary, stop agreeing with me. I'm trying to lose my job before Mattel buys us out.

Executive: So am I.

* When Nathaniel first pops out of the manhole, the road workers, exasperated, ask him if he's looking for a beautiful princess like Edward was. Nathaniel's reply: "No. A Prince, actually." The stunned expressions on the roadworkers' faces are obvious.

** Hur, hur, hur... manhole.

*** Oh, thanks a LOT. Now I'm picturing Timothy Spall erupting out of someone's penis...

* Attention Ichigo Shippers: Squee in joy at Japan's newest poll of Bleach's best bouts, which seems to feature Ichigo giving valentines to his fan-voted greatest boyfriends.

** It's like Kubo based Renji's pose off of an underwear model.

** At this point it is clear that Bleach is a story about fashion models who sometimes pretend to be soul reapers waging war.

* Things inside Naruto, chronological order: that whore...

** His father

** his mother

** The Nine Tailed Fox

** Sasuke

** Itachi('s crow)

** The Seal Frog

** His "evil" side

** Killer Bee

* Waitwaitwait. Miss Crawford's "Rears and Vices" joke hasn't been mentioned yet? It's a canonical gay joke, people.

* The name of this segment is an example of Getting Crap Past the Radar. "Sniz" is slang for the female genitals, and yes it was in use before the show was made.

** -waves bye to childhood-

"The Magical Mystery Cure in which Twilight rewrites an ancient spell, thereby becoming an alicorn & a princess. Sweet Celestia, where do we go from here?"

*** The highest Narm-factor scores the German synchro: "Was ist ... mit meinem Körper?!" (In English: "What is ... with my body?!"). Is he having a date with Rosie Palms for the first time in this sand balloon of his or what is his major malfunction?!

** The chagrinning books also suffer from the chagrinning act of shoehorning the word chagrin, no matter how chagrinningly innapropriate, into every chagrinning sentence, much to the chagrin of many.

"You... complete me" in Jerry Maguire. It doesn't help that Tom Cruise looked like he was taking a dump while he said it.

Hell, with that rictus smile of his, he looked like he was taking a dump through half the damn movie.

In these films, Legolas frequently says randomly portentous lines for no discernible reason.

He has a good reason; he needs the screentime. Think of the fangirls!

* Ishida:"Let me hold your sword... It got so big!"

** Ishida's desperate attempt to stop Ichigo from tearing up what he believes is Ulquiorra's corpse. Then he gets impaled on Ichigo's sword.

*** Giggity.

* In this children's show Caillou, the main protagonist Caillou is excited about going to the circus with his friends. When his little sister wants to come he tells her no. She starts crying and his father reprimands him saying his friends might not even take him to the circus and he's all like "BUT THEY PROMISED!" The episode then starts giving out An Aesop about keeping promises. WHAT. THE. HELL. His friends' parents DIDN'T EVEN CALL THE F*** HOUSE TO TELL THEM THAT THEY CHANGED PLANS! The main point is that Caillou was being disrespectful (as usual) to his sister and not that his friends blew him off (which they never did)! HE**, THIS EPISODE P*** ME OFF AS A CHILD!

** Is the world really a vampire, Billy? Have you this on good authority? How then, do we grow garlic plants? Answer me this.

* Probably the most horrific example has to be Tim Capello's "I Still Believe", as seen in the movie The Lost Boys. It's not even the raspy-fart saxophone playing, nor that the man himself is a mulleted, unitard-wearing wrestler-lookalike; it's lyrics like "I'll take my place, Upon this stage, I'll wait till the end of time for you like everybody else!!" The last lines of this verse are sung in such quick succession, with such unbelievable gusto, that it sounds like Capello's about to explode, take off, foul himself, and orgasm all at once. In addition, it sounds like he's actually fucking his saxophone, judging by the rhythmic, shrieking blasts and final orgasmic shudder it makes as the song finishes...

* This book ad from Jack Chick's homepage. Forget being ex-gay; this guy's an ex-Cthulhu-worshipping ex-vampire!

* Star Wars the Force Awakens: Seriously, it's worse than the prequels!^noteThis was before the prequels were Vindicated by History and the later two sequels proved controversial. Face it! The only reason you people "like" it is beause you were hyped all year and don't want to admit it's complete and utter shit! The acting is awful! The characters are awful (especially that Mary Sue, Rey)! The story is a complete rehash/reboot of A New Hope! There is nothing good about it period! Disney and Abrams fucked up and you all know it! Just look up Star Wars The Force Awakens sucks on YouTube and you'll all see the truth you bunch of sheep!

* Learning that the cantina band from A New Hope were supposedly called the "Jizz Wailers". Accidental Innuendo? Perhaps. Narm? With a name like that, yes.

** And that entire style of music in the Star Wars 'verse is called Jizz. Logically leading to musical sub-genres as hot jizz, cool jizz, smooth jizz, big band jizz... you get the idea.

*** Yes, and now I'd very much like to get rid of it.

* Narm: The montage that illustrates how Red is isolated from the rest of the island and is lonely as a result would have been a lot more effective if they had used literally anything other than a Limp Bizkit song.

** Literally anything?

2101 CE: War was beginning. (Zero Wing)

Go ahead, find something funny about this film. WE DARE YOU.

Does the fact that there's a Crowning Moment of Funny section for a non-humorous film count?

At the beginning of the seventh volume of Negima! Magister Negi Magi, Asuna starts acting as though she has suddenly fallen in love with Negi, which was done dramatically (more or less) until it was revealed that she had partaken of a Love Potion by mistake. She starts to act relieved... and then this happens.

* Aesop Amnesia: At first before the pageant with Rainbow Dash and the lesson of "The Mysterious Mare Do Well".

** ...WHAT lesson?

* In episode 18: Vegeta discovers the Dragonball he hid away is missing. This irritates him.

* OK, whoever just said "the fact that this was made", go sit in the corner.

* Does this mean I had a three-way?

** The following reply from the forum:

No, Gary. You were just getting a little head.

Wakka: You're no amateur. Who you play for?

Tidus/Meg Ryan: The Zanarkand Abes! :D

* Before the finale, Badfinger was an obscure band that had faded from common memory. The use of their song, 'Baby Blue' in the finale increased interest in the song by over NINE THOUSAN- you know what, let's just say by a large perecentage, and it might actually have brought them out of obscurity.

* The making of the episode "The Outing." NBC execs were worried that it would offend the homosexual community, so the line "Not that there's anything wrong with that" was added after every problematic line. Not only did it solve the problem, but also became one of the show's most popular lines, and also nicely mocked the people who made the objections by pointing out how ridiculous it would be to have some kind of standardized disclaimer after anything potentially offensive.

** The LGBT community also completely loved and embraced it. It even won a GLAAD award. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

*** ...wait...

* The soundtracks to both movies are musical CMoA in my opinion - If you can't tap your feet during the musical numbers there must be something wrong with you!

** Consider the sheer number of musical genres represented.

** The awesomeness of all the awesomely awesome musicians they managed to get to perform should have caused some kind of world-imploding awesomeness singularity event.

*** So... it was good?

During Gru's flashback in the sequel, we learn that he was a pariah among his classmates and they said that getting near him would give them the "Gruuties". Now, remember that the flashback happened sometime in 1969: When the Red Scare was still happening because of the Cold War between Russia and America; the Red Scare was the fear of Communists (Russian spies) invading the U.S. and Gru had a heavy accent that made everyone know he was originally from Russia. And the parents probably warned their kids about Communists. So, Gru's All of the Other Reindeer childhood also came from the fact that the kids were scared that Gru would "infect them and make than betray their country."

Honestly, though, if a strange old woman came to YOUR home or apartment and asked to stay the night, would you EVER let her in, regardless of her appearance or the type of flower she offered? That'd be like me going up to the White House and saying, "Please give me shelter from the cold! In exchange, I humbly offer you this single 'Mets 2014 Season Schedule' refrigerator magnet. NO?? THERE IS NO LOVE IN YOUR HEART AND YOU MUST LEARN A LESSON!"
