'''Continued from Archive/MadeOfWinLate2011.'''
----
@/{{Grobi}}: One to @/{{Blackadder 98}} who's responsible for the new "BornDetective"-pic. One of the best {{Visual Pun}}s I've ever seen!
----
ZarbiNerada: One to the troper on the EarWorm.{{Film}} page who said:
** Kill the earworm/STEP IN TIME/Kill the earworm/STEP IN TIME/Nary a reason/Nary a rhyme/Kill the earworm/STEP IN TIME!
----
@/{{Tropers/LexLogic}}: on the IceCreamKoan "Don't trouble trouble till trouble troubles you" in Bad Street Brawler: "{{Seanbaby}} pointed out that this doesn't jibe with the point of the game, since putting on a yellow diaper and kicking midgets is just ''blatantly'' troubling trouble." Didn't even know it was from just ''2 days ago'' before deciding to put it here.
----
@/{{Tropers/Artistic Platypus}}: On the page for TropesExaminedByTheMythbusters, it was pointed out that taking candy from a child is harder than the old saying makes it seem. {{Tropers/Amake}} replied with this gem:
** In my day it used to be "Like ''stealing'' candy from a baby". That's actually really easy since babies sleep a lot and don't take any serious precautions to prevent having their candy stolen. Sometimes they don't even notice it's gone. Kids these days just don't have the patience and foresight to plan these things out properly. Walking right up and grabbing the candy in broad daylight, of course you have to expect complications.
----
@/{{Owfin}}: One made of win to whoever wrote this first paragraph on {{Dissimile}}:
* "A Dissimile is like when you eat a banana, but, instead of peeling it you compare it to another thing that is not entirely unlike it. Also, instead of eating it, you deconstruct the comparison. And it doesn't necessarily have to be a banana, either, or any other kind of fruit for that matter. Actually, it is nothing like eating a banana."
----
@/{{nuclearneo577}}: One made of win to Tropers/{{Vorpy}} for TroperTales.PeopleSitOnChairs.
@/{{SonicLover}}: Someone made that?! I suppose it was only a matter of time after I started PlayingWith.PeopleSitOnChairs...
----
@/WragnaroqRMaggeddon: A big one to whoever wrote the entry for GannonBanned on ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'''s YMMV page.
* Gannon Banned: Irish names prefixed "Mc" are not uncommon. Sometimes people still decide to laugh at the author for not knowing that names starting "Mc" are Scottish. Nobody knows what happens to these people but we suspect zombie bandito robot pirates are involved. God have mercy on their souls.
----
@/OldManHoOh: I'm slowly sifting through natter on said page (booo), but props to whoever described on ''Series/DoctorWho'''s [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel/DoctorWho High Octane Nightmare Fuel page]] ''TheSarahJaneAdventures''[='=] Nightmare Man as a cross between [[TheDarkKnightSaga Ledger]] and [[Film/{{Batman}} Nicholson]]'s [[TheJoker Jokers]].
----
@/{{Camacan}}: To the troper who added the ''GunnerkriggCourt'' picture to {{Technobabble}}. It's a witty example of the trope. It has a reaction shot in the background and the obliviousness of the babblers carries it nicely. Plus it's presented as straight dialog so the reader is in the babble before they know it.
----
{{@/Dryunya}}: To whoever put the "[[MemeticMutation In a cave,]] [[Film/IronMan with a box of scraps!"]] quote on the {{Macgyvering}} page. It has finally found the place it belongs. (I know the edit is quite old, but nevertheless.)
----
@/Vifetoile: To '@/HersheleOstropoler, for this explanation in ''LiloAndStitch'' 's history:
* "A few years shy of being a toddler" is a fetus, vanishingly few of which are wandering Hawai'i unsupervised.
----
@/ChrisX : To whoever puts this in the [[FanficRecs/MassEffect Mass Effect Fan Fiction Recommendation Page]]:
-->''I'm Commander Shepard. And these are my favorite fan fics in the internet''
What a perfect way to insert a meme/endorsement.
----
@/MrDeath: To @/RealSlimShadowen for this line in the Characters.GIJoeRenegades page, under [[{{Ninja}} Snake-Eyes]]:
* StealthHiBye: He and {{Batman}} should have a competition. ''And no one would know who the winner was.''
@/RealSlimShadowen: A-thank-yew.
----
@/LeonardoFibonacci: To the troper lost to time who added this brilliant parenthetical to YouKeepUsingThatWord.
* Myself is ''reflexive'' - when you're both the subject and the object. "I wet myself", "I touch myself" and "I cut myself" are all OK (grammatically, that is)
----
@/{{Qzie}}: To whoever's been writing the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/DoctorWho Doctor Who recaps]] the last couple series. Seriously, they're so much fun and like watching the episode all over again.
@/{{Bronzethumb}}: Seconded! They're brilliantly written with excellent use of potholing and just generally fun to read. A great example of why a great fandom makes watching a great show even greater.
----
@/{{Valjean}}: On the PortmanteauCoupleName is this question:
* Are we allowed to call the CaptainAmerica[=/=]IronMan ship the U.S.S. Iron Patriot?
----
@/{{alliterator}}: To whomever put all references to [[spoiler:the Silence]] in spoiler tags on the "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E2DayOfTheMoon Day of the Moon]]" recap page: thank you. Now, I keep reading what's in those spoiler tags, but forgetting what they say as soon as I stop highlighting.
@/{{Grimace}}: I see what you did there. I didn't do it, but I see...something. Huh. What were you talking about again?
@/{{Jewel Maiden}}: And that itself deserves a MadeOfWin. [[OverlyLongGag Whatever it was.]]
----
@/{{Altimeter}}: To whoever added Heavy Lobster to the {{NightmareFuel/Kirby}} page, for inadvertently starting [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12982051050A73100100&page=1 one of the most successful YF threads ever.]]
----
@/OldManHoOh again, looking at this [[CoolVersusAwesome little winner]] on Series/DoctorWho's Headscratchers for [[Headscratchers/DoctorWho2005Series series 1-4]] about diverging timelines in Doctor Who.
* Also, if history prior to 1963 had been severely changed, the first Doctor would never have settled on Earth with Susan, changing the entire cause of his life, which in turn throws the entire history of the universe into turmoil. The 21st century could easily have ended up with Sutekh and the Fendahl fighting over a Silurian dominated earth, where the dinosaurs never went extinct.
----
@/OldManHoOh: Yes, @/FreezairForALimitedTime already posted this in the [[MadeOfWinArchiveLate2008 Late 2008]] section, but that was only part of the fun in the TroperTales/CrackIsCheaper troper tale.
* {{LEGO}}. Crack is not only cheaper, but ''way'' less time-consuming, and doesn't take up nearly as much space in your closet. Also, standing on pieces of crack does not hurt your feet half as much.
----
@/{{Camacan}}: To whoever contributed the prancing martial artist picture to MartialArtsDoNotWorkThatWay. It's hilarious, captures the very essence of impractical absurdity in elaborate fictional marital arts, but isn't mean-spirited or heavy-handed. Well done.
@/{{thatother1dude}}: I searched that page and have no idea what you're referring to.
@/{{geoduck}}: I assume it's referring to the picture at the top of the page.
@/{{Camacan}}: Correct! Added note.
----
@/{{sgrunt}}: @/FuschlatzOReilly gets one for de-ptitling my user page and using the new system to maintain the [[AllLowercaseLetters lowercase]] [[SpellMyNameWithAnS s]].
----
@/{{Earnest}}: A well deserved MOW to @/{{zerky}}, for properly tagging a whole mess of works with "Literature/" and "Webcomics/".
@/{{Haven}}: Meant to come in here to give it to her myself. On top of just seconding this, though, I would like to give her a separate but related MOW for dusting herself off and continuing even after she was temporarily banned due to a misunderstanding in the midst of this project. I think most people, even if they had the energy to devote to this, would have stopped, out of the sudden loss of momentum if nothing else.
----
@/{{KnightOwl}}: one to [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/M4dH4tter M4dh4tter]] for his brilliant theory of Grit and Trak from {{Advance Wars}} being the same person. it can be found in its [[WMG/NintendoWars WMG page, near the top.]]
Tropers/AnonymousMcCartneyFan: I am impressed. Guesses don't get much wilder than that.
----
@/{{Torquey}}: One to @/{{P3wange}} for his explanation of CartoonNetwork's [[NetworkDecay decline]] on its [[WMG/CartoonNetwork WMG page.]]
@/{{SonicLover}}: It's that big long one at the end, right? The one about Cartoon Network being a Parallel Dimension, capitalized exactly like that?
@/{{Torquey}}: Yep.
----
Tropers/{{alliterator}}: One to whoever added this stinger to the SourceCode page:
->return( 0 );
@/{{Citizen}}: That was me. The SourceCode is in [[LanguageOfTruth C]]. I can tell from the memory leaks and from having seen a few codes in my day.
L: I'm kind of surprised that Googling "and from having seen a few" returns so many results.
@/{{SonicLover}}: Why'd you Google that in the first place?
@/{{bluepenguin}}: L, that's because "I can tell from the X and from having seen a few Y in my day" is a meme.
----
@/NoirGrimoir: To whoever added this line under Ladd Russo's entry in the Characters section of ''{{Baccano}}''
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: [[BOOMHeadshot Headshoting]] ten-year-olds is ''hilarious'', amirite?
I totally Loled.
----
@/{{Madrugada}}: I'd like to give a big made of win to @/{{StFan}} for his ongoing effort to change display titles that include particles like "of" "the" and "and" to show appropriate capitalization. It's the kind of small but time-consuming thing that made the whole wiki look better.
----
@/ZuulMF: Found this on IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten: "TV Tropes must be one of the few places you can type "kitten" in the search engine and wind up reading about the mafia."
----
@/HighOctaneAwesome: The AntiquatedLinguistics page. The whole thing. Incredibly, there's not a ''single'' deviation from the RunningGag on the entire page.
----
@/DragonQuestZ: Not sure if this has been brought up before, but whoever put up the picture for ImageLinksWiki.
@/{{SonicLover}}: That's an {{XKCD}} comic, reproduced verbatim.
@/{{thatother1dude}}: I'm fairly certain the MadeOfWin was for ''use'' of the image, not ''creating'' the image.
@/{{Citizen}}: Oh, that was me. I also stuck it on my troper page.
----
@/{{Vifetoile}}: This line in ExpectationLowerer (which may Need More Love, btw) has me cracking up:
* St Thomas Aquinas believed that the righteous in Heaven will be able to observe the torments of the wicked in Hell; the better to enjoy their blessedness. This is probably the harshest demonstration of the second kind of ExpectationLowerer, with gloating and schadenfreude [[RecycledInSPACE on a celestial level]].
Not only does it neatly sum up a pretty warped idea of divine happiness, but the pothole just makes it.
----
@/PhoenixFire: One to some troper lost in the mists of time for this example on the NightmareRetardant page:
-->The miniseries of {{Stephen King}}'s ''TheLangoliers'' was getting {{narm}}y enough ''before'' the flying PacMan hairballs attacked in a wave of SpecialEffectsFailure so bad it destroyed reality in its wake.
That is the absolute most perfect description of that scene I can possibly imagine. XD
@/{{Valjean}}: A scene in TheLangoliers was so bad it caused the CrisisOnInfiniteEarths??? Good heavens!!!
@/{{Grev}}: Thing is, that was an entirely literal description of the scene at hand.
----
@/{{Bronzethumb}}: To whoever wrote the caption for the pic on the OregonTrail page.
----
@/{{SpiriTsunami}}: To thesunisup for this insight into TheBible (on BlueAndOrangeMorality):
* Then again, the whole story of Lot is basically an extended YourMom joke leveled at the Moabites and Ammonites, rivals of the Israelites, so the MoralDissonance could be intentional.
----
Curtmack: Too old to accurately source (although Killomatic added the last bit), but this entry on LyricalNanoha is brilliant:
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism: [[EarnYourHappyEnding STARLIGHT]] [[DefeatMeansFriendship BREAKER!]] It fixes everything!
----
nrjxll: Not sure who did it, but one goes to whoever put this line in the description of SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou:
[[quoteblock]]"This trope is often used in movies themselves as well, although the [[MoralGuardians MPAA]] prohibits its usage in green-band (all ages) trailers, as children are vulnerable to fictional bullets."[[/quoteblock]]
So be careful when watching those trailers, kids!
----
One to [[@/{{Lordnecronus}} Lordnecronus]] for SunnO's laconic page. So true.
----
@/{{SonicLover}}: One for the now-lost-to-the-ages editor(s) responsible for this exchange on UranusIsShowing (open the "Other" folder):
* HaveIGotNewsForYou once featured a picture of a Somalian pirate ship named... ''Titan Uranus''.
** Which is of course [[BringMyBrownPants exactly the opposite of what you'd do]] if you came across [[ADisgraceToBlackbeard a Somalian pirate ship]].
----
@/{{Valjean}}: Whoever wrote this on the RoguesGallery page:
* The Fantastic Four have a rather wide ranging gallery, from Galactus to Doctor Doom to The Red Ghost and his Super Apes. It says something, however, that their "Oh, right, it's Tuesday again. And right in the middle of Andy Griffith." foes are most of the universe's "Anyone know a really, really interventionist deity?" foes. (Obviously, this does not apply to the Super Apes.)
----
@/{{Gumbal1}}: Whoever wrote the image caption for DwarfFortress wins the internet:
-->You want a dwarf? There's your goddamn dwarf. You want some better graphics? '''Screw you'''. Dwarves can do lots of stuff. Like digging. Can you dig? '''Hell no'''. Play Dwarf Fortress.
@/{{thatother1dude}}: I believe that was nominated quite a while ago.
@/{{Redhead}}: And it's from a 4chan image that's been floating around online.
----
@/PhoenixFire: One to the people responsible for the voicemail discussion on the MarbleHornets ItJustBugsMe page.
@/{{T-Jack}}: Seconded, especially the "right outside Jay's apartment window" bit.
----
@/{{Daisuke}}: At whoever posted the lying to their kids involving elephant cocoons on the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=JustBugsMe.SantaClaus&more=t Just bugs me Santa page]]. In addition to the praising of the contribution.
----
@/{{SpiriTsunami}}: Yes, the format is unfortunately a bit {{Troper Tales}}-ish, but there's no way to fit this in otherwise because it's not that kind of trope. Sadly, I don't know who this was because most of the history was consumed by the repeated vandalisms.
* I once failed an English test for basing the entirety on the note written by Mark Twain for The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
-->PERSONS
-->attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted;
-->persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished;
-->persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.
-->By Order Of The Author,
-->Per G.G., Chief of Ordnance.
Page is TheWalrusWasPaul. While we're at it, a second MadeOfWin to be split between Tropers/{{Luc}}, Tropers/RonnieBeta, Tropers/{{Dinsdale}}, Tropers/{{Mouser}}, and Tropers/StarshipTroper for restoring the page in the wake of the vandalism. Starship actually did it twice, so he deserves a larger share of the MOW.
----
@/ZarbiNerada: One to Barraki for the image caption for TheMonolith.
----
@/{{TBeholder}}: One to dant328 for a good question [[Main.TruceZone here]]:
** It could be argued that Harry didn't break the Accords. Harry is a wizard of the White Council, and he took offensive action towards a Warden of the White Council. Is it really a violation if a singular political entity hits itself with a chair?
----
@/{{sgrunt}}: One to whoever came up with these [[IncrediblyLamePun Incredibly Lame]] {{Pot Hole}}s on BlandNameProduct:
* In ''[[UltimateSpiderMan Ultimate Spider-Man]]'', the search engine used by Peter Parker is called [[GogglesDoNothing Goggle.]]
** Which is, sadly, an actual website that [[GogglesDoSomethingUnusual infects you with all manner of spyware]]. I guess they DidNotDoTheResearch...
----
@/{{Torquey}}: One [=MoW=] for whoever started the ''DarthWiki/HelloMegan'' page. Now I will always associate ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' with a high school sitcom. And it will be awesome.
----
@/HouraiRabbit: One for the following from the ''[[JustBugsMe/StarCraft Starcraft]]'' JustBugsMe page:
* Simply put, the Zerg are still always going to be the chaotic alien swarm race, and killing the Overmind still NEEDED to happen (it was still brainwashed by the Fallen One and wanted to die). It's just now we've learned the Zerg were altered from their original, peaceful, Xel'Naga origins. I don't think we need to worry about Hydralisks with monocles ordering from Khorhal Cafe just yet. Remember, the Hybrids can control Zerg as cannon fodder. Heart of the Swarm will likely include Kerrigan subverting PART of the swarm to counter the Fallen One.
Because of you I am now incapable of forgetting the image of Hydralisks with monocles. You joke about it now but now that the Worgen are what they are, all bets are off.
----
@/{{Bronzethumb}}: To whoever added the ''[[Series/RobinHood Robin Hood]]'' entry under OnlyTheLeadsGetAHappyEnding. So, so true.
----
@/{{Thnikkafan}}: To the first line on the {{Brick}} page:
-->Take film noir, a generous dose of high school intrigue, a dash of David Lynch, and toss them all into a blender. What you get is probably going to be Brick, that or charges for the murder of David Lynch.
----
@/{{shiro_okami}}: One to this exchange on the NeglectfulPrecursors page:
* Your Honour, [[HPLovecraft The Elder Gods]] would like to plead guilty, except that they have no concept of guilt. ...also, they want permission to use the buffet, that being what they prefer to call the jury.
** A plea of no contest is entered. Permission to eat the jury is deniAAAAAAARrrrrggghhhh....
----
@/PhoenixFire: Very belated, but one to whoever put this under "NothingIsScarier" on the ''MarbleHornets'' trope list:
-->He doesn't do anything! He just ''stands there''! '''''Menacingly!'''''
----
Tropers/{{bluepenguin}}: Maybe this is just my weird sense of humor, but whoever wrote this bit on IAmNotLeonardNimoy had me trying very hard not to giggle while at work:
* Like Tom Cruise, [Julia Roberts] seems to have crossed some event horizon into whatever is beyond acting. She is the entity called Julia Roberts. Sometimes this entity makes a film. The advertising posters will declare Julia Roberts to be in a film. The public will base their decision on whether or not to see this film solely on this fact... eerie.
----
@/MoneyMan: One for the troper "Tropers/SoItBegins" for the caption for the EldritchAbomination image.
@/PhoenixFire: Seconded. BrevityIsWit at its finest.
----
@/{{thatother1dude}}: From the ''Characters/FinalFantasyTacticsA2'' character page section for Illua:
* WrongGenreSavvy: She has a Grimoire and thinks she's the hero of the story. And calls Clan Gully the chorus, except one usually doesn't try to ''kill'' the chorus even in Greek Tragedy....
----
@/{{Kalle}}: I just finished marathoning this, so, um. Whoever did TheStinger for the ''PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' WMG page? ''I don't know whether to love or hate you right now.'' D:
----
@/{{Madrugada}}: I'd like to award one to @/{{Catalogue}} for spotting the need for a page explaining why potholing to a irrelevant or only tangentially-related trope is generally a bad idea, and opening up a discussion that led to the page on {{Sinkhole}}s.
----
@/{{Zadia}}: A Made of Win to everyone who not only created a well-written, informative page on AustralianPolitics, they made it an entertaining read. Congratulations, you actually managed to make politics interesting.
----
@/DeathToSquishies: If TroperTales are subject to being awarded [=MoWs=], then allow me to nominate @/PoptartTan for this little anecdote from TroperTales/CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon, which made me smile for a straight 20 minutes:
* This Troper tried to invoke this on her dad when they were messing around, but it came out wrong. (She said "you'll have to breathe through your lungs." She meant that they'd be in front of his face.) He replied, "And when I'm done with you, you'll be walking on TWO LEGS!"
----
@/DougSMachina: Whoever organised all the funny moments from ''TheSimpsons'' into folders for the proper seasons deserves a few [=MOWs=].
----
@/{{Redhead}}: One for whoever did the radio transcripts for our ''TheConduit'' page.
----
@/{{Zadia}}: One bright, sparkly Made of Win to whoever put the picture and caption on CoitusInterruptus. That was hilarious.
----
@/{{nrjxll}}: Probably been up here before, but the entire page for TriangRelations is hilarious.
----
@/{{Medinoc}}: The caption on JustAFaceAndACaption.
----
@/{{thatother1dude}}: The opening paragraph of the ''{{Patlabor}}'' page.
@/SgtFrog1: [[LawAndOrder CHUNG-CHUNG]]
----
@/{{moviepyr0}}: This exchange on SweetDreamsFuel:
FLCL. It's like Mind Rape, but in the opposite direction—your brain is just as broken, and you're just as confused, but you feel good. Not really sure why, though.
Would that make it Consensual MindScrew?
I'd say more like Mind-Lovemaking.
Yup, with some Mind-Bondage and Mind-Tickling.
@/{{thatother1dude}}: Funny, in most context "[[MentalFusion Mind-Bondage]]" would sound ''less'' sexual.
----
@/{{Cranica}}: One for whoever potholed the image caption for TheOtherWiki's page to ThatsNoMoon.
----
{{Tropers/DRoy}}: A minor one, but the caption in BloodstainedGlassWindows made me lol. Yeah, so do I.
----
{{Tropers/SpiriTsunami}}: Unfortunately, the recent breakup into multiple pages makes it tough to find who added it, but whoever put "[[{{Dada}} Surrealists]] [[SurrealHumor like CHEESE!]]" on [[TropersDoIt/BeforeAnyoneElse Tropers Do It Without Notability]] deserves one.
----
{{Tropers/Blatch}}: One for Tropers/SangoOfTheDead, for adding the [[{{Neopets}} current page image]] to Complete Monster, under [[Monster/WebOriginal Web Original]].
---> ''[[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids Remember when]] {{Neopets}} [[DarkerAndEdgier was a kid's site?]]'' [[hottip:?: Picture of the WellIntentionedExtremist Xandra, [[EarthShatteringKaboom crashing]] [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence Faerieland]] [[ColonyDrop into]] [[AssKickingPose the]] [[AwesomeMoments ground.]]]]
----
{{Tropers/FallenLegend}} Kudos for {{Tropers/Madrugada}}. By a mile my favorite moderator. She helped and actually read my non trope contributions ([[{{Analysis}}/{{Escapism}}]] and {{SoYouWantTo}}/{{BeOriginal}}. she is very nice helpful and patient. Definitively a great troper. And to {{Tropers/jate88}} for his invaluable help on my YKTTW, he rocks! And
{{Tropers/SithkingZero}} For his awesome help on my future trope 'useless boyfriend'. YouGuys rock!
@/{{Madrugada}} Aw, shucks. *digs in the dirt with her toe* You're very welcome.
----
@/SgtFrog1: The troper or tropette who added the page image for {{Flanderization}}. It isn't particularly funny or clever, but it simply and clearly explains the trope with just four pictures.
----
{{Tropers/Shadowrose8907}} Whoever added {{PlayingWith.Yourself}} to the wiki.
@/SgtFrog1: I remember when that page was an actual Playing With page, inverting, subverting, defying, parodying, et al. all the ways you could have ADateWithRosiePalms.
@/{{thatother1dude}}: [[PlayingWith/ADateWithRosiePalms That's kind of redundant.]]
@/MrDeath: I made the ''original'' original page, where it just redirected to ADateWithRosiePalms. I thought that subtler joke was better, but eh.
----
((Tropers/MiVaTh)) From DestinationDefenestration:
* Mass Effect 2 invokes this trope, while also proving that QTEs can be fun.
--> Eclipse Trooper: I've got nothing more to say to you. If you-
--> *TROPE'D*
--> Shepard: How 'bout "goodbye."
The sound effect is what does it for me!
@/{{Schrau}}: That one was me. Thanks!
----
{{Tropers/Moogi}} From ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: 'The way I see it, a person should be able to do whatever they feel comfortable with in the privacy of their own sex dungeon without being labeled a Nazi.' Out of context, that's hysterical!
@/{{SonicLover}}: Is there any context in which that sentence wouldn't be hysterical?
If [[AdolfHitler Adolf Hitler]] said it
----
@/{{Deuxhero}} One to UT 24.209.101.193 for this line in TwoOfYourEarthMinutes It's more likely to be 3/6 times ''less'', but still funny.
** Would an Earth pound be three times as valuable on Mars, and six times as valuable on the moon?
----
@/{{thatother1dude}}: From PuffOfLogic:
* Old joke:
-->Two men are standing on a skyscraper. Suddenly, the first one jumps down. The other one expects him to die horribly, but to his surprise, the first guy just bounces off the pavement, bounces a few more times, until he comes to rest. The second guy inquires how this is possible. The first guy explains: "It's all in your mind. You just have to think you're a rubber ball, and you will bounce just like a ball."\\
"And everyone can do that?"\\
"Yes, everyone, it's the easiest thing. Try it."\\
The second man is curious and really makes the jump. All the time while he's falling, he thinks "I'm a rubber ball, I'm a rubber ball".\\
Then, shortly before hitting the pavement: "But if I was a tomato?"\\
SMASH!
** Inversion Punchline: "You're such an asshole, Superman."
** @/{{Frank 75}}: The joke (not the inverted punchline) is by me, thx.
----
{{Tropers/Nuclearneo577}} One made of win to {{Tropers/Grobi}} for making Laconic/PermanentRedLinkClub.
----
@/{{VutherA}}: Thank you, enero25, for the bottom paragraph of the explanation of the HelloSailor trope's page.
"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."
@/ROBRAM89: I'm betting there's a source for that one, but seconded. Absolutely hilarious.
@/{{thatother1dude}}: The source appears to be from ''another TV Tropes page'', namely a sidecomment made on BeamMeUpScotty about a quote misattributed to Winston Churchill.
@/{{Enero25}}: That's correct-I thought it made of win enough to be used twice, so credit to whoever found the quote and put it up on BeamMeUpScotty.
----
GrandDukeNukem: Luc gets a MOW for his alternate caption for the picture in ValuesDissonance.
----
@/{{sgrunt}}: @/EternalSeptember rocks for putting together the current page image for {{Sensei-chan}} et al.
----
@/{{VutherA}}: I would like to declare a TruthInTelevision example under ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful about Phryne from ancient Athens to be this. A bit {{Natter}}y, but it really went somewhere funny.
* In ancient Athens, a beautiful courtesan named Phryne was put on trial for a capital crime. Her defense consisted of stripping in court and asking the (all-male) jury if they were preferred to destroy ''this.'' She was acquitted.
** This makes slightly more sense if you are aware that, as far as the ancient Greeks were concerned, [[BeautyEqualsGoodness being beautiful was a gift from the gods and a sign of their favour]].
*** What would the verdict have been if it had been the men's ''wives'' on the jury?
*** ^Screw the Gods, we have Fists!
**** Kinky.
*** Maybe EvenTheGirlsWantHer!
----
Tropers/{{Crowley}}: Possibly old, but still should be mentioned: To whoever added the picture for PreviouslyOn. Even knowing the context doesn't make it less funny.
@/DarkSasami: It can't be that old; it only aired a few months ago. And I have to second this, if only because I had given up in despair wondering how I could convince TVTropes that a PreviouslyOn card was a CMOA.
----
@/{{sgrunt}}: @/PsychoPJ gets one for the pic on PerverseAsexualCuddlelust.
----
Tropers/{{Roxor}}: One to Tropers/BlueChameleon for the potholes in the quote from ''The God Delusion'' on the RichardDawkins page.
----
Tropers/{{Sen}}: One to Tropers/SlvstrChung for the SoYouWantTo/WriteALoveStory page.
@/{{Vifetoile}}: Seconded. That page is ''excellent.''
** Tropers/SlvstrChung: ...Wow, anybody ''read'' that page? I just kind of did it for my own edification... But thanks, heehee!
----
Tropers/SchizoTechnician: One to Tropers/{{triscion}} for this bit in WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids regarding NeonGenesisEvangelion
-->** It may have been intened to be a kids program, at least the initial idea. The creator, however, suffered from depression problems, [[CreatorBreakdown and he had something of a meltdown midway through the series]]. While the show had been dark before, there had at least been lighthearted moments, and characters seemed to be developing in a positive route; Things started to go downhill after that point, (much like a rolling stone hurling off a cliff into a pit of acid, lava, piranhas, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking toenail clippings]].)
@/{{SonicLover}}: How exactly would piranhas survive in a mixture of acid and lava?
@/SchizoTechnician: [[MathematiciansAnswer By taking things one day at a time, same as the rest of us]].
----
Tropers/ILoveDogs: Whoever made the caption for BoltOfDivineRetribution.
* DRoy: GOD! way seconded!
----
@/{{Thnikkafan}}: The picture and caption on MyGreatestFailure.
@/{{thatother1dude}}: Nominated nearly a year ago.
@/DragonQuestZ: I confess I just cropped the picture from a demotivator, and used the caption. So whoever wrote that outside this site deserves the credit.
----
@/DRoy: I would like give two nominations
* The picture in LittleMissAlmighty. I KNEW I'd see that picture used in this site!
* The caption for GirlInABox. Couldn't ask for better one.
----
@/{{Medinoc}}: One to whoever choose the picture for AdaptiveAbility.
@/ROBRAM89: Seconded and asking for source, because I've wanted that shirt forever.
@/PaulA: It's a cute picture, but it doesn't have anything to do with what the trope is actually about.
----
@/{{SpiriTsunami}}: To @/DaveTheAnalyzer and @/{{attackofthepeanuts}} for their awesome image captions on [[Characters/{{Godzilla}} the Godzilla character sheet]].
@/{{Jack5}}: Seconded. Oh my gosh, that is hilarious! Especially the captions for Manda and Mechani-Kong!
----
@/{{Micah}}: To @/MaureenMacDonald, for the awesomely out-of-context image on FandomRivalry.
@/{{Nightsky}}: Seconded. +1 Internet.
----
@/{{Vifetoile}}: I have never actually read ''IfOnAWintersNightATraveler,'' but the page is so interesting I really want to read the book now! Congratulations to the people involved - of whom I can tell Micah and Foamer are responsible.
@/{{Micah}}: Thanks. I didn't do a whole lot to the page, but I love the book; I hope you enjoy it!
@/{{alliterator}}: I created the page and wrote most of the intro, so I will gladly accept some of the Win. Mmm. Win.
----
@/{{Grimace}}: The troper is sadly lost to the mists of time, but whoever is responsible for this entry in IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure.
* The yes-it-exists-and-the-world-is-more-awesome-for-it ''MetalWolfChaos'' people Richard find to be Metal Wolf sympathizers are killed along with their family members within four separations, their old classmates AND their friends and coworkers. Kevin Bacon is understandably concerned.
@/{{SonicLover}}: It took me a few moments to figure out how that one was humorous. [[SixDegreesOfKevinBacon Joke spoiler pothole.]]
@/{{Schrau}}: I was the reprobate responsible for adding the Kevin Bacon comment to the original line some time last year, unfortunately I'm fairly certain the [=6DoKB=] didn't exist at the time, else I would've potholed it in... Actually, scratch that. It's much more subtle for it.
----
Tropers/AnonymousUser: Whoever all is behind TheUglyBarnacle.
----
@/MrDeath: One to @/BritBllt for folderizing and especially naming the folders in the JustBugsMe.FinalFantasyVII page. My favorite being, "Man, Cloud's missed work all year! Hope he feels better soon!"
@/{{SonicLover}}: I see your "Man, Cloud's missed work all year..." and raise you "Take my town, please!" and "Can't buy me [=FF7=]". Why can't more pages be so whimsically foldered?
@/SgtFrog1: I agree. While pages like BlatantLies and GratuitousJapanese have different, funny folder names, more pages should. Although, like everything, we shouldn't overdo it, like FreudianSlipperySlope. The beginning paragraph is barely readable due to the writer shoehorning every sexual, lewd, and raunchy term he or she could probably think of.
----
@/DragonQuestZ: Whoever made the picture on CapcomVsWhatever. The "New Age Of Breakfast" subtitle is what makes it comedy gold.
@/SpellBlade: Wow. Seconded.
@/{{SonicLover}}: That game would actually almost be entertaining. Who wouldn't want to see an epic battle between MegaMan and Tony the Tiger?
@/TripleElation: Nthed. Just wow.
----
@/ILoveDogs: Whoever made the caption for GeniusBruiser.
@/{{Dante668}}: Seconded. A ''lot''.
----
@/DalesKaine: The new picture for BerserkButton really is appropriate, in addition to being hilarious.
----
@/{{BlackWolfe}}: Lost to the ages, but whoever added the page image for TheDrunkenSailor startled a genuine belly laugh out of me.
@/{{Madrugada}}: Oh, so very seconded!
@/PhoenixFire: Thirded. That's hilarious.
@/SgtFrog1: To be honest, I was ''not'' expecting that. It's quite a hilarious VisualPun though.
@/DalesKaine: Fifthed.
@/{{Pykrete}}: Oh, wow. Awesome.
@/{{Zadia}}: Oh, I love it so.
@/{{Maverick8187}} What are we on, eight now, right? Even got my roommate with this one.
----
@/{{Pykrete}}: One for whoever provided the image and caption for BloodBath.
----
@/{{Malkyrian}}: A MadeOfWin to @/MonkeyPhysics for the SoCoolItsAwesome entry on SugarWiki/MostTriumphantExample. That was just a joy to read.
----
@/{{Fyrewyre}}: One to @/{{keybounce}} for this note on the page for TheDailyShow:
Note that on Jan 5th, 2011, it was confirmed that there are no reliable sources willing to confirm his identify as {{Batman}}.
----
Tropers/OldManHoOh: Props to Tropers/MrDeath for putting "No." as an edit reason for [=~Heard Any Good Jokes Lately?~=] for a good case of unintentional humour.
@/MrDeath: Heh, I'll take it.
----
{{Tropers/Nuclearneo577}}: One to {{Tropers/FastEddie}} for deleting the Temp Archive, which stored the examples from IAmNotMakingThisUp. Because it was one of the most painfully unfunny things I have ever seen.
Tropers/{{SpiriTsunami}}: Same here. I understand the original need to retire the IAmNotMakingThisUp page, because it really was getting overused (which was unfortunate, because there are a few occasions--mostly involving RealLife examples that ''sound'' too ludicrous to be anything but fiction--where it ''really, really'' is necessary), but it was a fun page.
----
{{Tropers/Kaika87}}: One for {{Tropers/Prime32}} for the updated picture for DangerouslyGenreSavvy. [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tarquins_tips_9670.jpg The new one]] works better than [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Doom_DangerouslyGenreSavvy_2392.JPG the old one]] and, more importantly, is ''funnier.''
@/{{thatother1dude}}: No one actually agreed to the picture on Image Pickin' did they? And really, what's so "win" about just taking an image from a fairly popular webcomic?
Arutema: Erm, the fact that it perfectly demonstrates the concept.
----
[[Tropers.ReikoKazama Reiko Kazama]]: One to whoever ''finally'' did [[Funny.FireEmblem this]]. [[HilariousInHindsight And this was some time]] ''[[HilariousInHindsight after]]'' [[HilariousInHindsight I agreed with whoever said it should have its own Funny page.]]
----
Tropers/ElevatorChild: Whoever added the note on the HouseOfLeaves WMG page about how Navidson documenting the [[color:blue:house]] caused it to disappear. You saved the slightly disappointing PowerOfLove ending for me, added a healthy dose of MindScrew, and it has a good probability of being canon. I think I love your brain.
----
@/{{Deuxhero}}: To the troper that indexed the RussianRoulette page under the useful notes page for Russia.
----
'''Continued in Archive/MadeOfWinLate2010.'''
'''Continued from Archive/MadeOfWinLate2011.'''
----
@/{{Grobi}}: One to @/{{Blackadder 98}} who's responsible for the new "BornDetective"-pic. One of the best {{Visual Pun}}s I've ever seen!
----
ZarbiNerada: One to the troper on the EarWorm.{{Film}} page who said:
** Kill the earworm/STEP IN TIME/Kill the earworm/STEP IN TIME/Nary a reason/Nary a rhyme/Kill the earworm/STEP IN TIME!
----
@/{{Tropers/LexLogic}}: on the IceCreamKoan "Don't trouble trouble till trouble troubles you" in Bad Street Brawler: "{{Seanbaby}} pointed out that this doesn't jibe with the point of the game, since putting on a yellow diaper and kicking midgets is just ''blatantly'' troubling trouble." Didn't even know it was from just ''2 days ago'' before deciding to put it here.
----
@/{{Tropers/Artistic Platypus}}: On the page for TropesExaminedByTheMythbusters, it was pointed out that taking candy from a child is harder than the old saying makes it seem. {{Tropers/Amake}} replied with this gem:
** In my day it used to be "Like ''stealing'' candy from a baby". That's actually really easy since babies sleep a lot and don't take any serious precautions to prevent having their candy stolen. Sometimes they don't even notice it's gone. Kids these days just don't have the patience and foresight to plan these things out properly. Walking right up and grabbing the candy in broad daylight, of course you have to expect complications.
----
@/{{Owfin}}: One made of win to whoever wrote this first paragraph on {{Dissimile}}:
* "A Dissimile is like when you eat a banana, but, instead of peeling it you compare it to another thing that is not entirely unlike it. Also, instead of eating it, you deconstruct the comparison. And it doesn't necessarily have to be a banana, either, or any other kind of fruit for that matter. Actually, it is nothing like eating a banana."
----
@/{{nuclearneo577}}: One made of win to Tropers/{{Vorpy}} for TroperTales.PeopleSitOnChairs.
@/{{SonicLover}}: Someone made that?! I suppose it was only a matter of time after I started PlayingWith.PeopleSitOnChairs...
----
@/WragnaroqRMaggeddon: A big one to whoever wrote the entry for GannonBanned on ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'''s YMMV page.
* Gannon Banned: Irish names prefixed "Mc" are not uncommon. Sometimes people still decide to laugh at the author for not knowing that names starting "Mc" are Scottish. Nobody knows what happens to these people but we suspect zombie bandito robot pirates are involved. God have mercy on their souls.
----
@/OldManHoOh: I'm slowly sifting through natter on said page (booo), but props to whoever described on ''Series/DoctorWho'''s [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel/DoctorWho High Octane Nightmare Fuel page]] ''TheSarahJaneAdventures''[='=] Nightmare Man as a cross between [[TheDarkKnightSaga Ledger]] and [[Film/{{Batman}} Nicholson]]'s [[TheJoker Jokers]].
----
@/{{Camacan}}: To the troper who added the ''GunnerkriggCourt'' picture to {{Technobabble}}. It's a witty example of the trope. It has a reaction shot in the background and the obliviousness of the babblers carries it nicely. Plus it's presented as straight dialog so the reader is in the babble before they know it.
----
{{@/Dryunya}}: To whoever put the "[[MemeticMutation In a cave,]] [[Film/IronMan with a box of scraps!"]] quote on the {{Macgyvering}} page. It has finally found the place it belongs. (I know the edit is quite old, but nevertheless.)
----
@/Vifetoile: To '@/HersheleOstropoler, for this explanation in ''LiloAndStitch'' 's history:
* "A few years shy of being a toddler" is a fetus, vanishingly few of which are wandering Hawai'i unsupervised.
----
@/ChrisX : To whoever puts this in the [[FanficRecs/MassEffect Mass Effect Fan Fiction Recommendation Page]]:
-->''I'm Commander Shepard. And these are my favorite fan fics in the internet''
What a perfect way to insert a meme/endorsement.
----
@/MrDeath: To @/RealSlimShadowen for this line in the Characters.GIJoeRenegades page, under [[{{Ninja}} Snake-Eyes]]:
* StealthHiBye: He and {{Batman}} should have a competition. ''And no one would know who the winner was.''
@/RealSlimShadowen: A-thank-yew.
----
@/LeonardoFibonacci: To the troper lost to time who added this brilliant parenthetical to YouKeepUsingThatWord.
* Myself is ''reflexive'' - when you're both the subject and the object. "I wet myself", "I touch myself" and "I cut myself" are all OK (grammatically, that is)
----
@/{{Qzie}}: To whoever's been writing the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/DoctorWho Doctor Who recaps]] the last couple series. Seriously, they're so much fun and like watching the episode all over again.
@/{{Bronzethumb}}: Seconded! They're brilliantly written with excellent use of potholing and just generally fun to read. A great example of why a great fandom makes watching a great show even greater.
----
@/{{Valjean}}: On the PortmanteauCoupleName is this question:
* Are we allowed to call the CaptainAmerica[=/=]IronMan ship the U.S.S. Iron Patriot?
----
@/{{alliterator}}: To whomever put all references to [[spoiler:the Silence]] in spoiler tags on the "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E2DayOfTheMoon Day of the Moon]]" recap page: thank you. Now, I keep reading what's in those spoiler tags, but forgetting what they say as soon as I stop highlighting.
@/{{Grimace}}: I see what you did there. I didn't do it, but I see...something. Huh. What were you talking about again?
@/{{Jewel Maiden}}: And that itself deserves a MadeOfWin. [[OverlyLongGag Whatever it was.]]
----
@/{{Altimeter}}: To whoever added Heavy Lobster to the {{NightmareFuel/Kirby}} page, for inadvertently starting [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12982051050A73100100&page=1 one of the most successful YF threads ever.]]
----
@/OldManHoOh again, looking at this [[CoolVersusAwesome little winner]] on Series/DoctorWho's Headscratchers for [[Headscratchers/DoctorWho2005Series series 1-4]] about diverging timelines in Doctor Who.
* Also, if history prior to 1963 had been severely changed, the first Doctor would never have settled on Earth with Susan, changing the entire cause of his life, which in turn throws the entire history of the universe into turmoil. The 21st century could easily have ended up with Sutekh and the Fendahl fighting over a Silurian dominated earth, where the dinosaurs never went extinct.
----
@/OldManHoOh: Yes, @/FreezairForALimitedTime already posted this in the [[MadeOfWinArchiveLate2008 Late 2008]] section, but that was only part of the fun in the TroperTales/CrackIsCheaper troper tale.
* {{LEGO}}. Crack is not only cheaper, but ''way'' less time-consuming, and doesn't take up nearly as much space in your closet. Also, standing on pieces of crack does not hurt your feet half as much.
----
@/{{Camacan}}: To whoever contributed the prancing martial artist picture to MartialArtsDoNotWorkThatWay. It's hilarious, captures the very essence of impractical absurdity in elaborate fictional marital arts, but isn't mean-spirited or heavy-handed. Well done.
@/{{thatother1dude}}: I searched that page and have no idea what you're referring to.
@/{{geoduck}}: I assume it's referring to the picture at the top of the page.
@/{{Camacan}}: Correct! Added note.
----
@/{{sgrunt}}: @/FuschlatzOReilly gets one for de-ptitling my user page and using the new system to maintain the [[AllLowercaseLetters lowercase]] [[SpellMyNameWithAnS s]].
----
@/{{Earnest}}: A well deserved MOW to @/{{zerky}}, for properly tagging a whole mess of works with "Literature/" and "Webcomics/".
@/{{Haven}}: Meant to come in here to give it to her myself. On top of just seconding this, though, I would like to give her a separate but related MOW for dusting herself off and continuing even after she was temporarily banned due to a misunderstanding in the midst of this project. I think most people, even if they had the energy to devote to this, would have stopped, out of the sudden loss of momentum if nothing else.
----
@/{{KnightOwl}}: one to [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/M4dH4tter M4dh4tter]] for his brilliant theory of Grit and Trak from {{Advance Wars}} being the same person. it can be found in its [[WMG/NintendoWars WMG page, near the top.]]
Tropers/AnonymousMcCartneyFan: I am impressed. Guesses don't get much wilder than that.
----
@/{{Torquey}}: One to @/{{P3wange}} for his explanation of CartoonNetwork's [[NetworkDecay decline]] on its [[WMG/CartoonNetwork WMG page.]]
@/{{SonicLover}}: It's that big long one at the end, right? The one about Cartoon Network being a Parallel Dimension, capitalized exactly like that?
@/{{Torquey}}: Yep.
----
Tropers/{{alliterator}}: One to whoever added this stinger to the SourceCode page:
->return( 0 );
@/{{Citizen}}: That was me. The SourceCode is in [[LanguageOfTruth C]]. I can tell from the memory leaks and from having seen a few codes in my day.
L: I'm kind of surprised that Googling "and from having seen a few" returns so many results.
@/{{SonicLover}}: Why'd you Google that in the first place?
@/{{bluepenguin}}: L, that's because "I can tell from the X and from having seen a few Y in my day" is a meme.
----
@/NoirGrimoir: To whoever added this line under Ladd Russo's entry in the Characters section of ''{{Baccano}}''
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: [[BOOMHeadshot Headshoting]] ten-year-olds is ''hilarious'', amirite?
I totally Loled.
----
@/{{Madrugada}}: I'd like to give a big made of win to @/{{StFan}} for his ongoing effort to change display titles that include particles like "of" "the" and "and" to show appropriate capitalization. It's the kind of small but time-consuming thing that made the whole wiki look better.
----
@/ZuulMF: Found this on IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten: "TV Tropes must be one of the few places you can type "kitten" in the search engine and wind up reading about the mafia."
----
@/HighOctaneAwesome: The AntiquatedLinguistics page. The whole thing. Incredibly, there's not a ''single'' deviation from the RunningGag on the entire page.
----
@/DragonQuestZ: Not sure if this has been brought up before, but whoever put up the picture for ImageLinksWiki.
@/{{SonicLover}}: That's an {{XKCD}} comic, reproduced verbatim.
@/{{thatother1dude}}: I'm fairly certain the MadeOfWin was for ''use'' of the image, not ''creating'' the image.
@/{{Citizen}}: Oh, that was me. I also stuck it on my troper page.
----
@/{{Vifetoile}}: This line in ExpectationLowerer (which may Need More Love, btw) has me cracking up:
* St Thomas Aquinas believed that the righteous in Heaven will be able to observe the torments of the wicked in Hell; the better to enjoy their blessedness. This is probably the harshest demonstration of the second kind of ExpectationLowerer, with gloating and schadenfreude [[RecycledInSPACE on a celestial level]].
Not only does it neatly sum up a pretty warped idea of divine happiness, but the pothole just makes it.
----
@/PhoenixFire: One to some troper lost in the mists of time for this example on the NightmareRetardant page:
-->The miniseries of {{Stephen King}}'s ''TheLangoliers'' was getting {{narm}}y enough ''before'' the flying PacMan hairballs attacked in a wave of SpecialEffectsFailure so bad it destroyed reality in its wake.
That is the absolute most perfect description of that scene I can possibly imagine. XD
@/{{Valjean}}: A scene in TheLangoliers was so bad it caused the CrisisOnInfiniteEarths??? Good heavens!!!
@/{{Grev}}: Thing is, that was an entirely literal description of the scene at hand.
----
@/{{Bronzethumb}}: To whoever wrote the caption for the pic on the OregonTrail page.
----
@/{{SpiriTsunami}}: To thesunisup for this insight into TheBible (on BlueAndOrangeMorality):
* Then again, the whole story of Lot is basically an extended YourMom joke leveled at the Moabites and Ammonites, rivals of the Israelites, so the MoralDissonance could be intentional.
----
Curtmack: Too old to accurately source (although Killomatic added the last bit), but this entry on LyricalNanoha is brilliant:
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism: [[EarnYourHappyEnding STARLIGHT]] [[DefeatMeansFriendship BREAKER!]] It fixes everything!
----
nrjxll: Not sure who did it, but one goes to whoever put this line in the description of SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou:
[[quoteblock]]"This trope is often used in movies themselves as well, although the [[MoralGuardians MPAA]] prohibits its usage in green-band (all ages) trailers, as children are vulnerable to fictional bullets."[[/quoteblock]]
So be careful when watching those trailers, kids!
----
One to [[@/{{Lordnecronus}} Lordnecronus]] for SunnO's laconic page. So true.
----
@/{{SonicLover}}: One for the now-lost-to-the-ages editor(s) responsible for this exchange on UranusIsShowing (open the "Other" folder):
* HaveIGotNewsForYou once featured a picture of a Somalian pirate ship named... ''Titan Uranus''.
** Which is of course [[BringMyBrownPants exactly the opposite of what you'd do]] if you came across [[ADisgraceToBlackbeard a Somalian pirate ship]].
----
@/{{Valjean}}: Whoever wrote this on the RoguesGallery page:
* The Fantastic Four have a rather wide ranging gallery, from Galactus to Doctor Doom to The Red Ghost and his Super Apes. It says something, however, that their "Oh, right, it's Tuesday again. And right in the middle of Andy Griffith." foes are most of the universe's "Anyone know a really, really interventionist deity?" foes. (Obviously, this does not apply to the Super Apes.)
----
@/{{Gumbal1}}: Whoever wrote the image caption for DwarfFortress wins the internet:
-->You want a dwarf? There's your goddamn dwarf. You want some better graphics? '''Screw you'''. Dwarves can do lots of stuff. Like digging. Can you dig? '''Hell no'''. Play Dwarf Fortress.
@/{{thatother1dude}}: I believe that was nominated quite a while ago.
@/{{Redhead}}: And it's from a 4chan image that's been floating around online.
----
@/PhoenixFire: One to the people responsible for the voicemail discussion on the MarbleHornets ItJustBugsMe page.
@/{{T-Jack}}: Seconded, especially the "right outside Jay's apartment window" bit.
----
@/{{Daisuke}}: At whoever posted the lying to their kids involving elephant cocoons on the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=JustBugsMe.SantaClaus&more=t Just bugs me Santa page]]. In addition to the praising of the contribution.
----
@/{{SpiriTsunami}}: Yes, the format is unfortunately a bit {{Troper Tales}}-ish, but there's no way to fit this in otherwise because it's not that kind of trope. Sadly, I don't know who this was because most of the history was consumed by the repeated vandalisms.
* I once failed an English test for basing the entirety on the note written by Mark Twain for The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
-->PERSONS
-->attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted;
-->persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished;
-->persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.
-->By Order Of The Author,
-->Per G.G., Chief of Ordnance.
Page is TheWalrusWasPaul. While we're at it, a second MadeOfWin to be split between Tropers/{{Luc}}, Tropers/RonnieBeta, Tropers/{{Dinsdale}}, Tropers/{{Mouser}}, and Tropers/StarshipTroper for restoring the page in the wake of the vandalism. Starship actually did it twice, so he deserves a larger share of the MOW.
----
@/ZarbiNerada: One to Barraki for the image caption for TheMonolith.
----
@/{{TBeholder}}: One to dant328 for a good question [[Main.TruceZone here]]:
** It could be argued that Harry didn't break the Accords. Harry is a wizard of the White Council, and he took offensive action towards a Warden of the White Council. Is it really a violation if a singular political entity hits itself with a chair?
----
@/{{sgrunt}}: One to whoever came up with these [[IncrediblyLamePun Incredibly Lame]] {{Pot Hole}}s on BlandNameProduct:
* In ''[[UltimateSpiderMan Ultimate Spider-Man]]'', the search engine used by Peter Parker is called [[GogglesDoNothing Goggle.]]
** Which is, sadly, an actual website that [[GogglesDoSomethingUnusual infects you with all manner of spyware]]. I guess they DidNotDoTheResearch...
----
@/{{Torquey}}: One [=MoW=] for whoever started the ''DarthWiki/HelloMegan'' page. Now I will always associate ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' with a high school sitcom. And it will be awesome.
----
@/HouraiRabbit: One for the following from the ''[[JustBugsMe/StarCraft Starcraft]]'' JustBugsMe page:
* Simply put, the Zerg are still always going to be the chaotic alien swarm race, and killing the Overmind still NEEDED to happen (it was still brainwashed by the Fallen One and wanted to die). It's just now we've learned the Zerg were altered from their original, peaceful, Xel'Naga origins. I don't think we need to worry about Hydralisks with monocles ordering from Khorhal Cafe just yet. Remember, the Hybrids can control Zerg as cannon fodder. Heart of the Swarm will likely include Kerrigan subverting PART of the swarm to counter the Fallen One.
Because of you I am now incapable of forgetting the image of Hydralisks with monocles. You joke about it now but now that the Worgen are what they are, all bets are off.
----
@/{{Bronzethumb}}: To whoever added the ''[[Series/RobinHood Robin Hood]]'' entry under OnlyTheLeadsGetAHappyEnding. So, so true.
----
@/{{Thnikkafan}}: To the first line on the {{Brick}} page:
-->Take film noir, a generous dose of high school intrigue, a dash of David Lynch, and toss them all into a blender. What you get is probably going to be Brick, that or charges for the murder of David Lynch.
----
@/{{shiro_okami}}: One to this exchange on the NeglectfulPrecursors page:
* Your Honour, [[HPLovecraft The Elder Gods]] would like to plead guilty, except that they have no concept of guilt. ...also, they want permission to use the buffet, that being what they prefer to call the jury.
** A plea of no contest is entered. Permission to eat the jury is deniAAAAAAARrrrrggghhhh....
----
@/PhoenixFire: Very belated, but one to whoever put this under "NothingIsScarier" on the ''MarbleHornets'' trope list:
-->He doesn't do anything! He just ''stands there''! '''''Menacingly!'''''
----
Tropers/{{bluepenguin}}: Maybe this is just my weird sense of humor, but whoever wrote this bit on IAmNotLeonardNimoy had me trying very hard not to giggle while at work:
* Like Tom Cruise, [Julia Roberts] seems to have crossed some event horizon into whatever is beyond acting. She is the entity called Julia Roberts. Sometimes this entity makes a film. The advertising posters will declare Julia Roberts to be in a film. The public will base their decision on whether or not to see this film solely on this fact... eerie.
----
@/MoneyMan: One for the troper "Tropers/SoItBegins" for the caption for the EldritchAbomination image.
@/PhoenixFire: Seconded. BrevityIsWit at its finest.
----
@/{{thatother1dude}}: From the ''Characters/FinalFantasyTacticsA2'' character page section for Illua:
* WrongGenreSavvy: She has a Grimoire and thinks she's the hero of the story. And calls Clan Gully the chorus, except one usually doesn't try to ''kill'' the chorus even in Greek Tragedy....
----
@/{{Kalle}}: I just finished marathoning this, so, um. Whoever did TheStinger for the ''PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' WMG page? ''I don't know whether to love or hate you right now.'' D:
----
@/{{Madrugada}}: I'd like to award one to @/{{Catalogue}} for spotting the need for a page explaining why potholing to a irrelevant or only tangentially-related trope is generally a bad idea, and opening up a discussion that led to the page on {{Sinkhole}}s.
----
@/{{Zadia}}: A Made of Win to everyone who not only created a well-written, informative page on AustralianPolitics, they made it an entertaining read. Congratulations, you actually managed to make politics interesting.
----
@/DeathToSquishies: If TroperTales are subject to being awarded [=MoWs=], then allow me to nominate @/PoptartTan for this little anecdote from TroperTales/CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon, which made me smile for a straight 20 minutes:
* This Troper tried to invoke this on her dad when they were messing around, but it came out wrong. (She said "you'll have to breathe through your lungs." She meant that they'd be in front of his face.) He replied, "And when I'm done with you, you'll be walking on TWO LEGS!"
----
@/DougSMachina: Whoever organised all the funny moments from ''TheSimpsons'' into folders for the proper seasons deserves a few [=MOWs=].
----
@/{{Redhead}}: One for whoever did the radio transcripts for our ''TheConduit'' page.
----
@/{{Zadia}}: One bright, sparkly Made of Win to whoever put the picture and caption on CoitusInterruptus. That was hilarious.
----
@/{{nrjxll}}: Probably been up here before, but the entire page for TriangRelations is hilarious.
----
@/{{Medinoc}}: The caption on JustAFaceAndACaption.
----
@/{{thatother1dude}}: The opening paragraph of the ''{{Patlabor}}'' page.
@/SgtFrog1: [[LawAndOrder CHUNG-CHUNG]]
----
@/{{moviepyr0}}: This exchange on SweetDreamsFuel:
FLCL. It's like Mind Rape, but in the opposite direction—your brain is just as broken, and you're just as confused, but you feel good. Not really sure why, though.
Would that make it Consensual MindScrew?
I'd say more like Mind-Lovemaking.
Yup, with some Mind-Bondage and Mind-Tickling.
@/{{thatother1dude}}: Funny, in most context "[[MentalFusion Mind-Bondage]]" would sound ''less'' sexual.
----
@/{{Cranica}}: One for whoever potholed the image caption for TheOtherWiki's page to ThatsNoMoon.
----
{{Tropers/DRoy}}: A minor one, but the caption in BloodstainedGlassWindows made me lol. Yeah, so do I.
----
{{Tropers/SpiriTsunami}}: Unfortunately, the recent breakup into multiple pages makes it tough to find who added it, but whoever put "[[{{Dada}} Surrealists]] [[SurrealHumor like CHEESE!]]" on [[TropersDoIt/BeforeAnyoneElse Tropers Do It Without Notability]] deserves one.
----
{{Tropers/Blatch}}: One for Tropers/SangoOfTheDead, for adding the [[{{Neopets}} current page image]] to Complete Monster, under [[Monster/WebOriginal Web Original]].
---> ''[[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids Remember when]] {{Neopets}} [[DarkerAndEdgier was a kid's site?]]'' [[hottip:?: Picture of the WellIntentionedExtremist Xandra, [[EarthShatteringKaboom crashing]] [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence Faerieland]] [[ColonyDrop into]] [[AssKickingPose the]] [[AwesomeMoments ground.]]]]
----
{{Tropers/FallenLegend}} Kudos for {{Tropers/Madrugada}}. By a mile my favorite moderator. She helped and actually read my non trope contributions ([[{{Analysis}}/{{Escapism}}]] and {{SoYouWantTo}}/{{BeOriginal}}. she is very nice helpful and patient. Definitively a great troper. And to {{Tropers/jate88}} for his invaluable help on my YKTTW, he rocks! And
{{Tropers/SithkingZero}} For his awesome help on my future trope 'useless boyfriend'. YouGuys rock!
@/{{Madrugada}} Aw, shucks. *digs in the dirt with her toe* You're very welcome.
----
@/SgtFrog1: The troper or tropette who added the page image for {{Flanderization}}. It isn't particularly funny or clever, but it simply and clearly explains the trope with just four pictures.
----
{{Tropers/Shadowrose8907}} Whoever added {{PlayingWith.Yourself}} to the wiki.
@/SgtFrog1: I remember when that page was an actual Playing With page, inverting, subverting, defying, parodying, et al. all the ways you could have ADateWithRosiePalms.
@/{{thatother1dude}}: [[PlayingWith/ADateWithRosiePalms That's kind of redundant.]]
@/MrDeath: I made the ''original'' original page, where it just redirected to ADateWithRosiePalms. I thought that subtler joke was better, but eh.
----
((Tropers/MiVaTh)) From DestinationDefenestration:
* Mass Effect 2 invokes this trope, while also proving that QTEs can be fun.
--> Eclipse Trooper: I've got nothing more to say to you. If you-
--> *TROPE'D*
--> Shepard: How 'bout "goodbye."
The sound effect is what does it for me!
@/{{Schrau}}: That one was me. Thanks!
----
{{Tropers/Moogi}} From ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: 'The way I see it, a person should be able to do whatever they feel comfortable with in the privacy of their own sex dungeon without being labeled a Nazi.' Out of context, that's hysterical!
@/{{SonicLover}}: Is there any context in which that sentence wouldn't be hysterical?
If [[AdolfHitler Adolf Hitler]] said it
----
@/{{Deuxhero}} One to UT 24.209.101.193 for this line in TwoOfYourEarthMinutes It's more likely to be 3/6 times ''less'', but still funny.
** Would an Earth pound be three times as valuable on Mars, and six times as valuable on the moon?
----
@/{{thatother1dude}}: From PuffOfLogic:
* Old joke:
-->Two men are standing on a skyscraper. Suddenly, the first one jumps down. The other one expects him to die horribly, but to his surprise, the first guy just bounces off the pavement, bounces a few more times, until he comes to rest. The second guy inquires how this is possible. The first guy explains: "It's all in your mind. You just have to think you're a rubber ball, and you will bounce just like a ball."\\
"And everyone can do that?"\\
"Yes, everyone, it's the easiest thing. Try it."\\
The second man is curious and really makes the jump. All the time while he's falling, he thinks "I'm a rubber ball, I'm a rubber ball".\\
Then, shortly before hitting the pavement: "But if I was a tomato?"\\
SMASH!
** Inversion Punchline: "You're such an asshole, Superman."
** @/{{Frank 75}}: The joke (not the inverted punchline) is by me, thx.
----
{{Tropers/Nuclearneo577}} One made of win to {{Tropers/Grobi}} for making Laconic/PermanentRedLinkClub.
----
@/{{VutherA}}: Thank you, enero25, for the bottom paragraph of the explanation of the HelloSailor trope's page.
"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."
@/ROBRAM89: I'm betting there's a source for that one, but seconded. Absolutely hilarious.
@/{{thatother1dude}}: The source appears to be from ''another TV Tropes page'', namely a sidecomment made on BeamMeUpScotty about a quote misattributed to Winston Churchill.
@/{{Enero25}}: That's correct-I thought it made of win enough to be used twice, so credit to whoever found the quote and put it up on BeamMeUpScotty.
----
GrandDukeNukem: Luc gets a MOW for his alternate caption for the picture in ValuesDissonance.
----
@/{{sgrunt}}: @/EternalSeptember rocks for putting together the current page image for {{Sensei-chan}} et al.
----
@/{{VutherA}}: I would like to declare a TruthInTelevision example under ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful about Phryne from ancient Athens to be this. A bit {{Natter}}y, but it really went somewhere funny.
* In ancient Athens, a beautiful courtesan named Phryne was put on trial for a capital crime. Her defense consisted of stripping in court and asking the (all-male) jury if they were preferred to destroy ''this.'' She was acquitted.
** This makes slightly more sense if you are aware that, as far as the ancient Greeks were concerned, [[BeautyEqualsGoodness being beautiful was a gift from the gods and a sign of their favour]].
*** What would the verdict have been if it had been the men's ''wives'' on the jury?
*** ^Screw the Gods, we have Fists!
**** Kinky.
*** Maybe EvenTheGirlsWantHer!
----
Tropers/{{Crowley}}: Possibly old, but still should be mentioned: To whoever added the picture for PreviouslyOn. Even knowing the context doesn't make it less funny.
@/DarkSasami: It can't be that old; it only aired a few months ago. And I have to second this, if only because I had given up in despair wondering how I could convince TVTropes that a PreviouslyOn card was a CMOA.
----
@/{{sgrunt}}: @/PsychoPJ gets one for the pic on PerverseAsexualCuddlelust.
----
Tropers/{{Roxor}}: One to Tropers/BlueChameleon for the potholes in the quote from ''The God Delusion'' on the RichardDawkins page.
----
Tropers/{{Sen}}: One to Tropers/SlvstrChung for the SoYouWantTo/WriteALoveStory page.
@/{{Vifetoile}}: Seconded. That page is ''excellent.''
** Tropers/SlvstrChung: ...Wow, anybody ''read'' that page? I just kind of did it for my own edification... But thanks, heehee!
----
Tropers/SchizoTechnician: One to Tropers/{{triscion}} for this bit in WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids regarding NeonGenesisEvangelion
-->** It may have been intened to be a kids program, at least the initial idea. The creator, however, suffered from depression problems, [[CreatorBreakdown and he had something of a meltdown midway through the series]]. While the show had been dark before, there had at least been lighthearted moments, and characters seemed to be developing in a positive route; Things started to go downhill after that point, (much like a rolling stone hurling off a cliff into a pit of acid, lava, piranhas, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking toenail clippings]].)
@/{{SonicLover}}: How exactly would piranhas survive in a mixture of acid and lava?
@/SchizoTechnician: [[MathematiciansAnswer By taking things one day at a time, same as the rest of us]].
----
Tropers/ILoveDogs: Whoever made the caption for BoltOfDivineRetribution.
* DRoy: GOD! way seconded!
----
@/{{Thnikkafan}}: The picture and caption on MyGreatestFailure.
@/{{thatother1dude}}: Nominated nearly a year ago.
@/DragonQuestZ: I confess I just cropped the picture from a demotivator, and used the caption. So whoever wrote that outside this site deserves the credit.
----
@/DRoy: I would like give two nominations
* The picture in LittleMissAlmighty. I KNEW I'd see that picture used in this site!
* The caption for GirlInABox. Couldn't ask for better one.
----
@/{{Medinoc}}: One to whoever choose the picture for AdaptiveAbility.
@/ROBRAM89: Seconded and asking for source, because I've wanted that shirt forever.
@/PaulA: It's a cute picture, but it doesn't have anything to do with what the trope is actually about.
----
@/{{SpiriTsunami}}: To @/DaveTheAnalyzer and @/{{attackofthepeanuts}} for their awesome image captions on [[Characters/{{Godzilla}} the Godzilla character sheet]].
@/{{Jack5}}: Seconded. Oh my gosh, that is hilarious! Especially the captions for Manda and Mechani-Kong!
----
@/{{Micah}}: To @/MaureenMacDonald, for the awesomely out-of-context image on FandomRivalry.
@/{{Nightsky}}: Seconded. +1 Internet.
----
@/{{Vifetoile}}: I have never actually read ''IfOnAWintersNightATraveler,'' but the page is so interesting I really want to read the book now! Congratulations to the people involved - of whom I can tell Micah and Foamer are responsible.
@/{{Micah}}: Thanks. I didn't do a whole lot to the page, but I love the book; I hope you enjoy it!
@/{{alliterator}}: I created the page and wrote most of the intro, so I will gladly accept some of the Win. Mmm. Win.
----
@/{{Grimace}}: The troper is sadly lost to the mists of time, but whoever is responsible for this entry in IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure.
* The yes-it-exists-and-the-world-is-more-awesome-for-it ''MetalWolfChaos'' people Richard find to be Metal Wolf sympathizers are killed along with their family members within four separations, their old classmates AND their friends and coworkers. Kevin Bacon is understandably concerned.
@/{{SonicLover}}: It took me a few moments to figure out how that one was humorous. [[SixDegreesOfKevinBacon Joke spoiler pothole.]]
@/{{Schrau}}: I was the reprobate responsible for adding the Kevin Bacon comment to the original line some time last year, unfortunately I'm fairly certain the [=6DoKB=] didn't exist at the time, else I would've potholed it in... Actually, scratch that. It's much more subtle for it.
----
Tropers/AnonymousUser: Whoever all is behind TheUglyBarnacle.
----
@/MrDeath: One to @/BritBllt for folderizing and especially naming the folders in the JustBugsMe.FinalFantasyVII page. My favorite being, "Man, Cloud's missed work all year! Hope he feels better soon!"
@/{{SonicLover}}: I see your "Man, Cloud's missed work all year..." and raise you "Take my town, please!" and "Can't buy me [=FF7=]". Why can't more pages be so whimsically foldered?
@/SgtFrog1: I agree. While pages like BlatantLies and GratuitousJapanese have different, funny folder names, more pages should. Although, like everything, we shouldn't overdo it, like FreudianSlipperySlope. The beginning paragraph is barely readable due to the writer shoehorning every sexual, lewd, and raunchy term he or she could probably think of.
----
@/DragonQuestZ: Whoever made the picture on CapcomVsWhatever. The "New Age Of Breakfast" subtitle is what makes it comedy gold.
@/SpellBlade: Wow. Seconded.
@/{{SonicLover}}: That game would actually almost be entertaining. Who wouldn't want to see an epic battle between MegaMan and Tony the Tiger?
@/TripleElation: Nthed. Just wow.
----
@/ILoveDogs: Whoever made the caption for GeniusBruiser.
@/{{Dante668}}: Seconded. A ''lot''.
----
@/DalesKaine: The new picture for BerserkButton really is appropriate, in addition to being hilarious.
----
@/{{BlackWolfe}}: Lost to the ages, but whoever added the page image for TheDrunkenSailor startled a genuine belly laugh out of me.
@/{{Madrugada}}: Oh, so very seconded!
@/PhoenixFire: Thirded. That's hilarious.
@/SgtFrog1: To be honest, I was ''not'' expecting that. It's quite a hilarious VisualPun though.
@/DalesKaine: Fifthed.
@/{{Pykrete}}: Oh, wow. Awesome.
@/{{Zadia}}: Oh, I love it so.
@/{{Maverick8187}} What are we on, eight now, right? Even got my roommate with this one.
----
@/{{Pykrete}}: One for whoever provided the image and caption for BloodBath.
----
@/{{Malkyrian}}: A MadeOfWin to @/MonkeyPhysics for the SoCoolItsAwesome entry on SugarWiki/MostTriumphantExample. That was just a joy to read.
----
@/{{Fyrewyre}}: One to @/{{keybounce}} for this note on the page for TheDailyShow:
Note that on Jan 5th, 2011, it was confirmed that there are no reliable sources willing to confirm his identify as {{Batman}}.
----
Tropers/OldManHoOh: Props to Tropers/MrDeath for putting "No." as an edit reason for [=~Heard Any Good Jokes Lately?~=] for a good case of unintentional humour.
@/MrDeath: Heh, I'll take it.
----
{{Tropers/Nuclearneo577}}: One to {{Tropers/FastEddie}} for deleting the Temp Archive, which stored the examples from IAmNotMakingThisUp. Because it was one of the most painfully unfunny things I have ever seen.
Tropers/{{SpiriTsunami}}: Same here. I understand the original need to retire the IAmNotMakingThisUp page, because it really was getting overused (which was unfortunate, because there are a few occasions--mostly involving RealLife examples that ''sound'' too ludicrous to be anything but fiction--where it ''really, really'' is necessary), but it was a fun page.
----
{{Tropers/Kaika87}}: One for {{Tropers/Prime32}} for the updated picture for DangerouslyGenreSavvy. [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tarquins_tips_9670.jpg The new one]] works better than [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Doom_DangerouslyGenreSavvy_2392.JPG the old one]] and, more importantly, is ''funnier.''
@/{{thatother1dude}}: No one actually agreed to the picture on Image Pickin' did they? And really, what's so "win" about just taking an image from a fairly popular webcomic?
Arutema: Erm, the fact that it perfectly demonstrates the concept.
----
[[Tropers.ReikoKazama Reiko Kazama]]: One to whoever ''finally'' did [[Funny.FireEmblem this]]. [[HilariousInHindsight And this was some time]] ''[[HilariousInHindsight after]]'' [[HilariousInHindsight I agreed with whoever said it should have its own Funny page.]]
----
Tropers/ElevatorChild: Whoever added the note on the HouseOfLeaves WMG page about how Navidson documenting the [[color:blue:house]] caused it to disappear. You saved the slightly disappointing PowerOfLove ending for me, added a healthy dose of MindScrew, and it has a good probability of being canon. I think I love your brain.
----
@/{{Deuxhero}}: To the troper that indexed the RussianRoulette page under the useful notes page for Russia.
----
