Working Title: Sliding Scale of Seriousness: From YKTTW
This Troper would like to note that the title has a typo: its "Scale Of", not "Scaleof".
Nerdorama: Uh, guys? Are you sure Warhammer 40k isn't a parody? Are you really sure? Try reading the books again.
Nornagest: I'm with Nerdorama on this one. Warhammer 40 K is the example I'd use for "cynical but silly".
Hylarn: Shouldn't this be organized according to where the examples fall on the scale, like the other Sliding Scale tropes?
Germaholic: When I launched this page I modelled it after the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism, which is also organized by media rather than where each work falls on the scale.
