Basic Trope: When cartoon characters dance, it looks stilted, due to looping and possibly things like twitchiness and not fitting the music.
- Straight: Music starts playing and Alice does a dance that consists of her bobbing up and down while simultaneously moving her hands from side to side, over and over.
- Exaggerated:
- Even when the music shifts genres, Alice keeps bobbing and hand-twitching.
- The whole cast dances in the same way.
- Downplayed: Alice alternates between several different loops.
- Justified: It's the only dance move Alice can think of.
- Inverted: Alice dances perfectly to the beat and never repeats a move.
- Subverted: Alice starts off doing her endless bob-up-and-down-and-move-hands routine but then starts getting more creative.
- Double Subverted:
- Parodied: The dance is actually called the Endless Loop.
- Zigzagged: Some characters dance in a stilted loop, some dance in a good way but with a few loops, and some have no loops while dancing.
- Averted: Alice dances normally.
- Enforced: "Animation is expensive, let's use this loop of Alice dancing to save money."
- Lampshaded: "Is that your only move?"
- Invoked:
- Exploited:
- Defied: "No way I'm dancing the same way over and over! I'll spice it up!"
- Discussed: "Last week, I went to the disco and everybody danced the same way over and over!"
- Conversed: "Cartoons look so weird when they dance!"
- Implied:
- Deconstructed:
- Reconstructed:
- Played for Laughs:
- Played for Drama:
- Played for Horror: This is used intentionally to enforce the Uncanny Valley.
