* When Eric catches up to T-Bird in ''Film/TheCrow'', it takes a while for T-Bird to realize who he is.

** There are also several times where a pothole is just the trope name, except with the caps removed, ex: SuspectIsHatless as "suspect is hatless". Some tropers work on cleaning those up.
** TLP entries as well, such as "Gesturing with a Weapon: Somebody gestures at people with a weapon". For that matter, a lot of ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin articles can sound a bit like this.
