# [[JustForFun/TheZerothLawOfTropeExamples Shakespeare did it first]].
# As the number of trope examples gains magnitude, the probability of an example entirely in Japanese approaches certainty.
# A given trope shall be about ''Franchise/StarTrek'' in some way. The fact that this has nothing to do with the Japanese language is <something about Sulu>. If you can't link it to ''Star Trek'' or ''Series/DoctorWho'', ''Series/StargateSG1'' will do. The fact that this has even less to do with the Japanese language is <something about island nations> or <something about that monk on Oma Desala's planet>, respectively.
# If neither a SpeculativeFiction or {{Anime}} example can be found, the authors compromise by finding one from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. (In the unlikely event it doesn't have one already.)
# The probability of an opening quote from ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'', ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'' or ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' is directly proportional to how long an entry on a trope has existed.
# If the entry involves {{Webcomic}}s in any way, there will be an example from ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' or ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''. ''{{Webcomic/Homestuck}}'' is also likely be cited.
# There will be substantially more trope examples based on {{Anime}} than any other medium. (Present page included.)
# ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'', ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', or ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' will be mentioned in any page not specifically about it. If a page lacks either, it's only a matter of time.
# It will be declared to be one of TheOldestOnesInTheBook.
# If it involves TimeTravel, there will be a {{Headscratchers/Headscratchers}} page about it.
# If the trope was ever {{subverted|Trope}} or {{lampshade|Hanging}}d, the probability that an example from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' will be posted approaches one exponentially, with exceptions mostly populating the realm of Anime Tropes.
# At least two-thirds of tropes shall have examples from ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and said examples will probably involve a LampshadeHanging or {{subver|tedTrope}}sion. This chance increases to nine-tenths if ''Series/{{Angel}}'' and ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' are also considered.
# If the example in question is from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', the probability of it being listed as a {{deconstruct|edTrope}}ion, LampshadeHanging or {{subver|tedTrope}}sion is exactly one, even if it actually involves neither.
# Sooner or later, Paul Robinson will claim it's in ''Literature/InstrumentOfGod.''
# If there is a WildMassGuessing page for it, at least one character will be cited as a JustForFun/TimeLord, [[EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory Jesus]], [[Anime/{{Monster}} Johan]], or Haruhi Suzumiya, including for ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' itself.
# If a trope has anything to do with gender or superheroes, there will be a ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'' example. There probably will be even if it has absolutely nothing to do with gender or superheroes.
# If a trope is about weaponry, the probability of ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' or one of its SequelSeries getting a mention is 100%.
# As time passes, the chances of a trope being either inverted, subverted, or played [='brutally'=] straight by ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' approaches one.
# ItsBeenDone.
# On any WildMassGuessing page for a more weird anime, at some point there will be a suggestion that it takes place during [[AssimilationPlot Instrumentality]].
# The worse reception the work has, the larger percentage the work's [[YMMV.HomePage YMMV]] page is compared to main page.
# On CharacterSheets, main non-antiheroes have fewer tropes than villains or neutral characters.
# Any trope even tangentially related to MindScrew will draw examples from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', and vice versa.
# If it is an animated trope, the chance of ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'', ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' being listed there is almost exactly 100%.
# Related to the above, all tropes will have an example from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', regardless of [[Administrivia/SquarePegRoundTrope how well it fits.]] If it is a trope that would never occur in ''Friendship Is Magic'' proper (due to not fitting the genre, being inappropriate for the intended demographic, etc.), it will be present in FanFiction for the series.
# As time passes, the probability of a trope page having an internal link to itself within one of its examples approaches one.
# If a video game trope is present in the webcomics, the probability of it being parodied or {{lampshade|Hanging}}d is close to 100%.
# On any WildMassGuessing page for a series with AppliedPhlebotinum, the chances of said phlebotinum being connected to [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Spiral Power]] at some point is 100%.
# Eventually, every example will be an {{aver|tedTrope}}sion, {{subver|tedTrope}}sion, {{inver|tedTrope}}sion, DoubleSubversion, [[Administrivia/NotASubversion "partial subversion"]], or Administrivia/NotAnExample.
# If there is a section for FanFiction on a page, at least 50% of the examples (rounded up) will be of fanfiction for ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' or a crossover containing it.
