2 | * '''Straight''': The characters in the show ''Alice and Bob'' love to watch a show called ''Troper[[XtremeKoolLetterz z]]''. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
4 | ** Every episode in ''Alice and Bob'' covers ''Troperz'' full-time, with the characters discussing its plot. |
5 | ** ''Troperz'' [[DrosteImage has its own Show Within A Show, which in turn has another Show Within A Show]]. |
6 | ** ''Troperz'' is the main plot, Alice and Bob watching is only the FramingDevice. |
7 | * '''Downplayed''': One time, Alice said she [[INeedToGoIronMyDog had to go so she wouldn't miss]] ''Troperz''. |
8 | * '''Justified''': Showing ''Alice and Bob'' being on all the time nicks WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief so in their down time they watch ''Troperz''. |
9 | * '''Inverted''': ''Alice and Bob'' is occasionally shown to be a [[MetaFiction TV show]] watched by people in the [[RecursiveReality "real"]] world. |
10 | * '''Subverted''': |
11 | ** People on ''Alice and Bob'' mention "watching tropers". We find out it's not a TV show; they [[ParanoiaFuel like to stare through the window while people edit]] Website/TVTropes. |
12 | ** ''Troperz'' is a very popular show within the ''Alice and Bob'' universe, but only for one season. |

17 | * '''Zig-Zagged''': The characters in ''Alice and Bob'' love to watch a show called ''Troperz''. However, they end up addicted, so the show is canceled. That is, until it gets {{defictionaliz|ation}}ed. |
18 | * '''Averted''': ''Troperz'' is not shown/mentioned within the ''Alice and Bob'' universe, not even in a minor situation. |
19 | * '''Enforced''': ''Alice and Bob'' is a SliceOfLife show, so the creators have to put a fictional show in to make it realistic. |
20 | ** One of the characters in ''Alice and Bob'' is an actor who worked on ''Troperz''. It makes sense for ''Troperz'' to actually appear at some point. |
