Basic Trope: A scene with rapping that is randomly added. Often a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment.

  • Straight: At one point in "Tropers: The Movie", Carl has a random Piss-Take Rap scene which is never brought up again.
  • Exaggerated: Everyone engages in an overly long rap song for no reason.
  • Downplayed: Carl has a very brief rap song with some minor buildup, but it's still a rather weird sequence.
  • Justified: Carl enjoys rap music.
  • Inverted: The whole movie is about rap music, but they sing another style of music for some reason at one point.
  • Subverted: Carl is about to rap, but doesn't.
  • Double Subverted: He has a weird rap song later, though.
  • Parodied: "Tropers: The Movie" is just 90 minutes of the entire cast singing a rap song.
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: No rap songs are randomly added.
  • Enforced:
  • Lampshaded: "What was that? Why were we all rapping?"
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: Carl is stopped from rapping.
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: "Why do so many pieces of media involve random rap songs?"
