5
6Le Tropeur is a French {{YouTuber|s}} whose channel turns around [[CaptainObvious tropes]].
7
8No, he his not [[BilingualBonus too scared.]]
9
10Gained fame with a pop culture theory video series called [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench Éruption Cérébrale]] ("Cerebral Eruption", or just another way to say "Mind Blown").
11
12In his main show, Le Tropeur de l'Extrême, he explains various tropes to the audience, often focusing on one trope or type of trope per episode. As the show progresses, he is joined by '''Le Snarkeur''', whose only goal is to [[DeadpanSnarker snark at every thing]], to the annoyance of Le Tropeur. After episode 15, [[CerebusSyndrome a storyline starts to develop]], making good use of the tropes seen so far, while still exploring new ones.
13
14The first season is 26 episodes long (if you count [[{{Pilot}} Episode 0]], where the concept of tropes is explained), and it was followed by a year long hiatus. Season 2 began airing on the 28th September 2017, and is set to contain 10 episodes.
15
16Being a show about tropes, expect a lot of them to actually be name-dropped InUniverse.
17
18And yes, [[JustForFun/OneOfUs he created this very page.]]

20----
21!!Le Tropeur in general:
22
23* AuthorAppeal: Expect at least one [[Franchise/DoctorWho Doctor Who]] reference per video.
24* BerserkButton: Puns on his name will not be tolerated.
25* MemeticMutation: The aforementioned beard has become something of a private joke amongst the channel's subscribers.
26* RunningGag: Him being in love with [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Princess Zelda]] comes up once in a while.
27
28----
29!!Le Tropeur de l'Extrême contains examples of:
30
31* {{Acting For Two}}: Le Tropeur, Le Snarkeur and Mr.Vasdyan are all played by the same actor.
32* BigBad: Mr. Vasdyan, and the Cursed Tie at the end of season one.
33* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: That time when the Stool killed the whole cast at the end of an episode.
34* BlindIdiotTranslation: The title of the season 2 finale is a bad translation of [[spoiler: PlotTwist]] in French.
35* BrickJoke: In an early episode, Le Tropeur mentions that he only wears socks on his feet while filming the show. Whenever his feet are on screen in following episodes, you can see he wasn't lying.
36* CatchPhrase: "Salut, jeunes Tropeurs et Tropeuses !" ("Hi, young Tropers, boys and girls") and "Tropeur, out!"
37* CerebusSyndrome: The episode "Le syndrôme de Kaamelott" is basically a huge {{Lampshade Hanging}} on the fact that the show has undergone this Trope.
38* DeadpanSnarker:
39** Le Snarkeur, obviously.
40** Le Tropeur has his moments too.
41* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: the first few episodes contain no Snarkeur, no emblematic T-Shirt and barely any facial hair.
42* HarsherInHindsight: After the PlotTwist in season two, the death of the boom mic guy becomes way less funny.
43* MarySue: {{Invoked}} with Angel [=McDraconight=] in season two. He's half vampire, half werewolf, [[OverlyLongGag half angel, half demon, half human, half divinity]], and claims to be both immortal and a SexGod.
44* MusicalEpisode: The episode on Musicals, of course.
45* PuttingOnTheReich: Mickey Mouse goes full on [[Franchise/StarWars Emperor Palpatine]] in the episode on Disney.
46* RuleOfFunny: Why else would a Stool and a Tie be powerful magical artefacts?
47* {{Sidekick}}: Le Snarkeur definitely is one.
48** Come season two, and Flo does not want that role. He joins the show as an equal partner.
49* ThoseTwoGuys: The security guard and the cameraman in the season one finale.
50
51----
52!!Éruption Cérébale contains examples of:
53
54* OnceAnEpisode: The fast synopsis of whatever work of fiction is the subject matter.
55* TimeyWimeyBall: Lots of episodes are tackling time travel theories, more or less successfully.
