-> "The voice of the internet -- news before it happens"
->--Reddit's Motto
The next step in a [[MemeticMutation meme's]] spread after [[{{Imageboards}} 4chan]], Reddit is a very large news aggregator similar to Digg or {{Fark}}. Its structure is based around "subreddits", separate topic-specific aggregators which can be easily created.
Birthplace and center of worship for the Dark Lord {{Inglip}}.
For the Spanish [[FollowTheLeader equivalent of the rage comics]], see ''[[CuantoCabron Cuánto Cabrón]]''.

!!Reddit provides examples of the following tropes:
* AsYouKnow: Either TIL threads (Today I Learned) will be [[AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle genuinely informative]], or something that's already common knowledge.
* BerserkButton: r/shitredditsays, since it's a haven for feminists, really, hates [[RapeAsComedy jokes about rape]]. The subreddit also has a low tolerance for DeadBabyComedy in general.
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: [[http://www.reddit.com/r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu/comments/hss3l/need_anything_brought_back_true_story/c1y2zax This post:]]
-->''If you go on the goddamn internet it will still be "Did you check the weather/mail/bank account/for missing children/[[SoapboxSadie on whatever cause she presently is interested in?"]]''
* CuteKitten: See [[http://www.reddit.com/r/cats r/cats]], [[http://www.reddit.com/r/aww r/aww]], etc.
* DevelopmentGag: Reddit was originally going to be called "Snoo" as in "what's new?". Obviously, this didn't happen, but the little white alien mascot ended up being named Snoo.
* DirtyCop: Cops are one of Reddit's AcceptableProfessionalTargets. There isn't a day that goes by without a YouTube video being posted of [[PoliceBrutality a cop chokeholding or bodyslamming someone]]. It's enough to turn the most strident law-and-order hardliner into an anarchist.

* {{GIFT}}
* GunPorn: [[http://www.reddit.com/r/GunPorn/ r/GunPorn]], although it [[NeedsMoreLove has very few users]].
* HairTriggerTemper: Every other day, Reddit launches an InternetCounterattack somewhere.
* HeManWomanHater: Quite a few women (and men) on Reddit have complained about the site's skewed demographics (see ThereAreNoGirlsOnTheInternet) and outrageous sexism before. r/shitredditsays is the main hub for these complaints (although it's a subreddit that's widely accused of questionable behavior and comments in and of itself).
* HiveMind: A RunningGag says that most members are part of one.
* HitlerAteSugar: One of the "Stop using ad blockers" jokes.
* HypocriticalHumor: Commonly used by [[http://www.reddit.com/r/circlejerk r/circlejerk]], a [[SelfParody Self-Parody]] subreddit, when pointing out Reddit's hypocrisies.
-->''"Hot girl posting on reddit? Upvoted! Oh wait you're not very attractive? REDDIT IS NOT YOUR FACEBOOK!!"''

* HollywoodAtheist: Quite a few of the posters in r/atheism come across like this, as mentioned under TheScrappy in the YMMV tab.
* InternetCounterattack: Has perpetrated quite a few of these, to the point where Reddit had to [[http://blog.reddit.com/2011/05/reddit-we-need-to-talk.html forbid posting personal information on the site]].
** Reddit was also a catalyst for the SOPA/PIPA protests.
* TheInternetIsForPorn: The large selection of NSFW subreddits.
* ItWillNeverCatchOn[=/=]ThisIsGoingToBeHuge: Much of the humor in their 2012 April Fool's Day time-travel joke relies on this.
* {{Metaphorgotten}}: [[http://www.reddit.com/r/self/comments/ibeju/the_two_party_system_is_like_having_two_parents/ "The two party system is like having two parents that pretend to be divorced, but have three-ways with the same corporations."]]

* NightmareFetishist: The denizens of [[http://www.reddit.com/r/creepy/ r/creepy]] and [[http://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/ r/nosleep]].
* NonindicativeName: The "SFW Porn" group of subreddits, which unanimously refer to "porn" in the SceneryPorn sense, i.e. pretty photos. Gets especially awkward with [[http://www.reddit.com/r/HumanPorn r/HumanPorn]] (which ''does'' occasionally have artful nudes) and [[http://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalPorn r/AnimalPorn]].
* OnlinePersonas: Every type is represented on the site.
* OrphanedPunchline: Take WebAnimation/SimonsCat, strip out the buildup and convert it to a gif, and [[http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/gzf0g/cats/ see the result]].
* OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions: Most of the posts on r/atheism involve variations of this.
* OverlyLongGag: Pun threads and "No, you're thinking of __" threads tend to devolve into these.
* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: [[http://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/hjyjf/i_still_cant_believe_this_happened_pic/c1w0yx5?context=3 This thread]] regarding ''Film/{{Junior}}''.
* PassThePopcorn: The logo for [[http://www.reddit.com/r/subredditdrama r/subredditdrama]], which, as the name suggests, records the various instances of InternetBackdraft on the site. Popcorn is also frequently mentioned in the posts.
* PokeThePoodle: The entire point of [[http://www.reddit.com/r/firstworldanarchists r/firstworldanarchists]].
* PoliceBrutality: The reason Reddit hates cops, as noted above.
* RankInflation: [[TheStoner r/trees]] has a number scale to indicate how high the poster is. The problem is that unlike 420chan's number scale, it's subjective (i.e. [10] is the highest the poster has ever been, as opposed to adhering to certain objective symptoms). The r/trees FAQ acknowledges that most [10] posts are exaggerations. Some posters have suggested [11] or similar to ''actually'' refer to being that ridiculously high, but they are quickly shot down.
* RuinedForever: The examples of this sentiment being expressed are...numerous.

* SelfDeprecation: Very common among posters.
* SelfParody: There are entire Reddit communities based around mocking Reddit, most notably [[http://www.reddit.com/r/circlejerk r/circlejerk]]
* SpiritualSuccessor: Reddit can be seen as one to {{Usenet}}, especially its alt.* hierarchy.
* TheStoner: [[http://www.reddit.com/r/trees r/trees]].
* TechnologyPorn: [[http://www.reddit.com/r/MachinePorn r/MachinePorn]] and [[http://www.reddit.com/r/GeekPorn r/GeekPorn]].

* ThereAreNoGirlsOnTheInternet: [[http://blog.reddit.com/2011/07/who-in-world-is-reddit.html 86.7% of the site is male.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: [[BaconAddiction Bacon.]]
* {{Troll}}: Many subreddits are full of these. It's usually best to assume that "I Am A" and "Ask Me Anything" posts are fake until proven otherwise; as you can imagine the idea is such a lure for trolls.
* TrustPassword: [=IamA=] and AMA posters are encouraged to verify their authenticity by submitting photos with a timestamp.
* UnknownRival: Most of 4chan deeply despises Reddit, to the point where they've made hundreds of fake versions of Reddit's rage comics to troll themselves with. However, the hatred is generally one-sided.
** Reddit has one of these with 9gag, Reddit having an entire sub-reddit devoted to complaining about 9gag, while most members of 9gag aren't even aware of that Reddit dislikes them (to my knowledge).
* VisualPun: The banner image for their {{hentai}} subreddit? A [[HalfHumanHybrid hen...]][[DigimonAdventure Tai]].

* PokeThePoodle: The entire point of [[http://www.reddit.com/r/firstworldanarchists r/firstworldanarchists]].
* PoliceBrutality: The reason Reddit hates cops, as noted above.
* RankInflation: [[TheStoner r/trees]] has a number scale to indicate how high the poster is. The problem is that unlike 420chan's number scale, it's subjective (i.e. [10] is the highest the poster has ever been, as opposed to adhering to certain objective symptoms). The r/trees FAQ acknowledges that most [10] posts are exaggerations. Some posters have suggested [11] or similar to ''actually'' refer to being that ridiculously high, but they are quickly shot down.
* RuinedForever: The examples of this sentiment being expressed are...numerous.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: [[BaconAddiction Bacon.]]
* {{Troll}}: Many subreddits are full of these. It's usually best to assume that "I Am A" and "Ask Me Anything" posts are fake until proven otherwise; as you can imagine the idea is such a lure for trolls.
* TrustPassword: [=IamA=] and AMA posters are encouraged to verify their authenticity by submitting photos with a timestamp.
* UnknownRival: Most of 4chan deeply despises Reddit, to the point where they've made hundreds of fake versions of Reddit's rage comics to troll themselves with. However, the hatred is generally one-sided.
** Reddit has one of these with 9gag, Reddit having an entire sub-reddit devoted to complaining about 9gag, while most members of 9gag aren't even aware of that Reddit dislikes them (to my knowledge).
