'''Basic Trope''': A character isn't allowed to do something, and is given a much more boring alternative.
* '''Straight''': Carl wants to go on the newest roller coaster at the theme park, but his parents Alice and Bob won't let him [[YouMustBeThisTallToRide because he's not tall enough]]. They do let him go on the slow-moving kiddie coaster, though.
* '''Exaggerated''': The alternative that Carl is given is something such as [[IncrediblyLameFun watching grass grow, or paint dry]].
* '''Downplayed''': Carl ends up having to go on a different roller coaster, and while he's a little disappointed because he wasn't able to go on the coaster he wanted to ride, he ends up finding the other roller coaster somewhat fun anyway.
* '''Justified''':
** Alice and Bob really hate fun.
** Alice and Bob want their son Carl to be safe, and think that the activities he wants to do are too dangerous.
** Theme parks have height requirements for good reason, and Alice and Bob understand this, but they still want to do something nice for Carl anyway.
* '''Inverted''': Carl wants to go on a simple kiddie ride, but his parents take him on a thrilling roller coaster instead.
* '''Subverted''': ???
* '''Double Subverted''': ???
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Carl gets to ride the new roller coaster.
* '''Enforced''': ???
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': Even if Carl can't go on the ride he wants, Alice and Bob decide to let him do something he'll enjoy instead of making him do something boring.
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': "Do they really think Carl wants to go on that ride? That looks boring!"
