Line #7 PlayingWith/ThirstyDesert


1	'''Basic Trope''': A desert is a terrible place to be.
2	* '''Straight''': AliceAndBob end up in a desert. Alice groans for water and walks slowly, while Bob is almost unconscious, and both are sweating heavily. [[CirclingVultures Vultures also circle ominously in the sky]].
3	* '''Exaggerated''': The moment Alice and Bob step foot in the desert, they both instantly [[{{Fainting}} pass out]] and die.
4	* '''Downplayed''': In the desert, Bob does the stereotypical walking slowly and groaning for water but he never seems in danger of dying or losing consciousness. Alice, meanwhile, complains a lot, but is just as perky and articulate as normal.
5	* '''Justified''': Alice and Bob have no idea how to deal with being in a desert, or someone stole their supplies.
6	* '''Inverted''':
7	** Alice and Bob have to brave a very dangerous BubblegloopSwamp.
8	** After enduring horribly damp and cold conditions, the desert comes a relief for Alice and Bob.
9	* '''Subverted''': "Ugh... water... just kidding."
10	* '''Double Subverted''': "I mean, I ''am'' [[DissonantSerenity severely dehydrated]] but [[GrammarNazi that's no excuse for such terrible grammar!]]"
11	* '''Parodied''': Alice just treats it like a day at the beach, while Bob does shamble and groan, but, because he [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness speaks in big words]], he groans, "Dihydrogen monoxide...".
12	* '''Zig-Zagged''': Alice, Bob, Charlie, and Diane end up in the desert. Alice complains but doesn't seem unhealthy, Bob experiences all the stereotypical symptoms, Charlie is semi-conscious, and Diane is perfectly happy.
13	* '''Averted''':
14	** Alice and Bob don't end up in the desert.
15	** Alice and Bob do end up in the desert, but neither of them suffers horribly.
16	* '''Enforced''':
17	** "What if someone [[DontTryThisAtHome tries to go to the desert because they watched this show and ends up in danger]]? Better make it seem as horrible as possible."
18	** "All the exotic locations they've been to have been very dramatic. Better make the desert dramatic too, or else the viewers might complain that it's boring."
19	* '''Lampshaded''': "Oh, man, we'd better get outta here before we start walking slowly and speaking in one-word sentences!"
20	* '''Invoked''': The villain steals Alice and Bob's supplies before throwing them into the desert.
21	* '''Exploited''': "Soon, they'll be so dehydrated that they'll accept water from everyone, so I can [[SlippingAMickey poison them]]! [[EvilLaugh Muahahahaha]]!"
22	* '''Defied''': "Stuff that, I'm bringing a whole tank of water. That way, we can solve the dehydration problem by drinking it, and the heat problem by swimming in it!"
23	* '''Discussed''': "How do I survive in a desert, preferably with my dignity?"
24	* '''Conversed''': "How do I survive in a desert without ending up like one of those shuffling, [[YouNoTakeCandle bad-grammar-spouting]] movie characters?"
25	* '''Implied''': Alice and Bob stumble onscreen, sweating, gulping, and covered in sand.
26	* '''Deconstructed''':
27	* '''Reconstructed''':
28	* '''Played for Laughs''': Alice and Bob start [[HollywoodMirage hallucinating buildings]].
29	* '''Played for Drama''': Alice must get the unconscious Bob to water before either he dies or she also loses consciousness.
30	* '''Played for Horror''': The world is one big, terrible desert because of pollution.
