See also MixAndMatch, but this differs from it in that, conceptually, MixAndMatch works on the genre level (SpaceOpera + TheWestern = WagonTrainToTheStars), while XMeetsY works on the show level. Should more works be added into the mix (e.g. X + Y + Z...) and it starts specifically using mathematical symbols to define the work as parts of others, it becomes {{Troperithmetic}}.

A formulation primarily used to pitch a show or to quickly sum up the impression a show gives by expressing it as the sum of two separate, unrelated series. The most famous variation, found in action movies, is "DieHardOnAnX", where X is a different setting (location, means of mass transportation, ''[[AC:{{in SPACE}}!]]'' etc).

It's not uncommon for detractors of the material in question to add something along the lines of "Except that it sucks" to the end.

Another variation is "the bastard child of X and Y", meaning a mash-up of two extremely different works of fiction whose result takes a turn in narrative genre/style that's entirely different than either of the parents. "Unholy fusion of X and Y" is another way of saying the same thing.

Should more works be added into the mix (e.g. X + Y + Z...) and it starts specifically using mathematical symbols to define the work as parts of others, it becomes {{Troperithmetic}}.
