Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': Ninjas are added for RuleOfCool.
* '''Straight''': An episode of "The Adventures of Alice and Bob" has a scene with ninjas that is randomly added.
* '''Exaggerated''': Everyone is a ninja, for some reason.
* '''Downplayed''': It's randomly brought up that ninjas are cool (which has some plot relevance), but it's still a little gratuitous.
* '''Justified''': Alice and Bob really like ninjas.
* '''Inverted''': The show is usually about ninjas, but a scene without any is added for whatever reason.
* '''Subverted''': It seems like the ninjas are added just for RuleOfCool, but they do have plot relevance by helping save Alice and Bob from danger.
* '''Double Subverted''': Still, the deed could've easily just been done by a spy or someone else.
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''':
** There are no ninjas.
** Ninjas have complete plot relevance.
* '''Enforced''': RuleOfCool
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': "No, we're not adding ninjas to this story!"
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': "What was that scene with all the ninjas about?"
