Basic Trope: Someone high up comments that they can see their house from up here.
- Straight: “I can see my house from up here!”
- Exaggerated: “I can see my dollhouse from up here!”
- Downplayed: “I can’t see the exact house, but the town sure looks nice.”
- Justified: “With these binoculars, I can see my house from up here!”
- Inverted:
- “I can only see everyone else’s houses from up here...”
- “I can see my house from down here!”
- Subverted: “I can see- Oh no, false alarm.”
- Double Subverted: “Oh wait, there it is! My house!”
- Parodied:
- “I drilled a hole through the center of the earth just so I could see my house from up here!”
- Someone says this phrase while in their own backyard, meaning that they really can see their own house from where they are.
- Zig Zagged: “That must be it, right? No? I think I’m right... eh, who cares? They all look the same anyway.”
- Averted: “Can’t see much of anything from up here.”
- Enforced: “I can see a script in need of changing from up here!”
- Lampshaded: “3000ft in the air and that’s your only comment?”
- Invoked: “Let’s fly over my house!”
- Exploited: “Finally, we’ve found our way home!”
- Defied: “I refuse to look... I'm already very nervous.”
- Discussed: "Can you actually see your house from all the way up here?"
- Conversed: "I wonder why characters often say that they can see their house from where they are when they're high up."
- Implied: "There's a uniquely-colored and uniquely-shaped house distinct from the others..."
- Deconstructed: "I can see my house from up here. It's condition is worse than the rest."
- Reconstructed: "I can see my house from up here...which has now been renovated into a mansion."
- Played For Laughs: "I can see my house from up here! I Always Wanted to Say That."
- Played For Horror: "I can see my house from up here...and it's alive, eating anyone that dares enter it!"
- Played For Drama: "Take a good look, because this might be the last time we see our house..."
- Plotted A Good Waste: "All these minutes of trying to search my house from above this town and you want us to move to and live in another one? In another city? Another state? Another country?"
