Go To

Wick Check input (100 examples)

  1. Fanfic.The Simpsons Team LASH: Single-Target Sexuality: Anastasia doesn't seem to be attracted to any boy aside from Simon. In "Hikaru Fills Out His Skill Tree", Mr. Burns remarks that for the past year, she's been unimpressed with every single suitor he's presented to her, and Anastasia explains that the reason behind that is that she met Simon a year ago and he captured her heart. In "The Heiress Diaries", she offhandedly remarks that she doesn't find Jack Fairfax attractive and is considered unusual for that. And in "Worst. Camping Trip. Ever.", when she and Liv are playing MASH (a children's pencil-and-paper game used to "predict" one's future), Liv's piece of paper has three celebrities and the aforementioned Jack Fairfax as her potential future husbands, while Anastasia's has "Simon Skinner-Chalmers" written four times.
  2. WMG.Todd In The Shadows OHW: "Shake It" by Metro Station: Best known for being the band with Miley Cyrus' brother in it (Oh, and Mitchel Musso's brother too).
  3. Characters.Buffyverse Scooby Gang: Buffy, at one point, says, "My friends... My family... Andrew..." Even by Season 10 he's still the most separate of the Scoobies, while all the others all live in the same apartment building — to the point where the Big Bad doesn't know who he is.
  4. Recap.Legends Of Tomorrow S 6 E 14 There Will Be Brood: John points out how he never really felt like he truly belonged in the Legends.
  5. Manga.Hyakuen: Chouko inverts this. She's often counted as a part of the group and will be offended by it. Played straight whenever she's ignored.
  6. Characters.Hells Kitchen Amateurs Season 1: Due to her poor cooking skills and her awful attitude, she became this by default to her far more sane red team members.
  7. Anime.Dragon Ball Z Kai: King Kai once refers to Bulma as "that other lady" after talking about Gohan, Goku, and Piccolo.
  8. Funny.Oxventure: Hawthorne's speech begins with him announcing that a criminal has been stopped from stealing his most prized possession: the Emerald Tear. And his daughter.
  9. Funny.Star Wars Rebels: When the Ghost crew are just about to meet Cham's cell, Kanan is clearly fussing over his appearance and how the crew reflects on him, even asking Ezra "How do I look?" — obviously wanting to make a good impression on his sort-of-girlfriend's family.Kanan meeting Cham just SCREAMS "nervous boyfriend meeting his girlfriend's dad for the first time" . . . and Cham is totally oblivious. And once the meeting happens, he introduces the members of the crew, but gets their names mixed up. And forgets Chopper. Just watch the four of them react to it.
  10. CharacterGush.Live Action TV: Index entry or ZCE
  11. WebVideo.Ask Lovecraft: Mood Whiplash: He's extremely flattered that others might want to translate his work into other languages, and hopes that one day his works might be read in every nation across the world... Except Esperanto. Esperanto is a vile tongue.
  12. WebVideo.Freelancers: The VPC crew is surprised and flattered when the Doodles Chips co-CEOs say they're big fans. Then Devin asks, "Even Owen?"
  13. Funny.SF Debris Star Trek Discovery: From "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 1":Michael is deeply moved by the vote of confidence from the crew, as they plan to go the future with her, and is about to protest, but Saru cuts her off: Saru: I'm sure what you're about to say will be beautiful... But it is done, Michael. Chuck (as Michael): Huh...? I mean, yes! Yes, yes, far too beautiful to say out loud in this ugly moment! But keep the nugget to yourself! Pike makes his It Has Been an Honor speech as he prepairs to depart the ship: Pike: You are exceptional officers. Exceptional individuals. Every single one of you... Chuck (as Pike): ...Except, of course, for Ash. (the Discoverycrew murmurs in agreement)
  14. WebVideo.Mario Warfare: Mario! (And Luigi!)
  15. Recap.Odd Squad S 3 E 19 Sixteen And A Half Blocks Follow The Leader: Orla, Oswald and Omar are given villain disguises. Opal, on the other hand, gets a hotel bellhop disguise, and isn't even addressed by Owl until she herself asks her what disguise she's going to wear.
  16. YMMV.The Legend Of Korra: Evil Is Cool: Varrick, surprisingly. The reveal that he was a villain ended up adding to the appeal of his character because of how diabolically intelligent it made him. Vaatu, one half of the Big Bad Duumvirate, is an Eldritch Abomination Smug Super with a booming, Darth Vader-esque voice and an interesting Villainous Legacy; the other half is… Unalaq. Who do you think the fandom prefers? (Book 4's "Remembrances" even mocks the contrast.)
  17. Recap.Battle For Dream Island S5b E 6 The Great Goikian Bake Off: The song "Just Not's Journey" features the lyric "Our brave heroes, and Nickel, are off to the beast".
  18. Film.Kamen Rider Generations Dr Pacman Vs Ex Aid And Ghost With Legendary Riders: As noted on the title, this movie features both Kamen Rider Ghost & Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, along with some Legendary Riders.
  19. Manga.Teekyuu: It's shown that Nasuno doesn't quite like Marimo and can barely stand her.
  20. Characters.Lilo And Stitch Major Characters: Would Hit a Girl: The female experiments (and Mertle) were not spared from Hämsterviel's attempt to kill them all.
  21. ScottPilgrim.Tropes A To C: Charles Atlas Superpower: The Boys and Crash's constant rehearsing finally pays off in the form of an advanced technique: We now have the ability to manipulate pure sound waves through hard work and willpower alone!! Scott has superhuman speed and strength and insane martial arts skills without any justification other than he's the main character of a video game.
  22. Characters.Barakamon: When Kanzaki drops by the island once again (as Sensei is leaving for Tokyo with Naru), he comes to realize that the villagers' attitude towards him extends just to mere tolerance, that the courtesy that they showed him when he first came was due to courtesy to Sensei's guest and that, frankly, they don't quite like him that much. It doesn't help that Kanzaki is obnoxious and problematic as hell when he returns.
  23. Manga.Yumeiro Patissiere: Edible Theme Naming: All of the Sweets Spirits (except the Queen, whose name is revealed in the manga to be Marie) and Ichigo.
  24. MsFanservice.Western Animation: The New Adventures of Flash Gordon: Princess Aura. In the early episodes, she was accompanied by seemingly every female on Mongo whose name wasn't Dale Arden. And sometimes Dale herself.
  25. VideoGame.Pac Man Monsters: The initial team has an elemental Pac-Man-looking character, Pinky, Clyde, and two elemental Fairies.
  26. Series.The Goldbergs: Dave Kim is frequently subjected to this by Adam.
  27. WesternAnimation.The Penguins Of Madagascar: n the cooties episode, Skipper remarks that "my men and Mort" have come down with cooties. Likewise, "my men and Marlene" in "All Tied Up With a Boa", but maybe he was just being exact/courteous/politically correct/alliterative/all of the above.
  28. Characters.My Craft: Was once subject to this during the trip to Daymonte. Wynn: Alright, soldiers… and Cobb.
  29. Funny.Professor Layton And The Miracle Mask: The final gift for having completed all 150 puzzles of the game. It shows the group of friends all grown up (and Luke), with Randall trying to take Layton's hat off. Layton tries to keep him off from his hat.
  30. Recap.The Halloween Revenge: The Halloween Revenge III (THR3): Another compilation of sketches, but this time hosted by Reddy & Leo with cameos from Flash Estudio, Maiden Riku and Sonny Slaven.The plot of the mini-series was edited into Red Leo Trilogy.
  31. Manga.Nagasarete Airantou: Took a Level in Badass: After some training, Ikuto can now go toe to toe against the Leaders. Oh, and the Panda, too. Sure, when he last fought them the battles were non-"traditional", but still...
  32. Funny.Tales From The Borderlands: Fiona lying about how she took out Vallory a'la Rhys' glamorous fib from the first episode. If you choose to 'Cut the deal off', Fiona steals Vallory's knife after an amazing backflip and cuts her into pieces. If you choose 'Make her head spin', Fiona kicks her to the side and tosses her flashbang grenade at Vallory, then shoves it into her mouth. Fiona walks away like a badass as the moment Vallory explodes, complete with Vallory's head sliding down near Rhys and her glasses landing perfectly over Fiona's eyes as an announcer shouts "DEAL WITH IT". On both accounts, the Stranger doubts her story as the weapons she use doesn't work that way. Cue these lines: Stranger: That's not how it works! Rhys: And that's not how it happens! The text prompt you get from the UI if you choose to rat out Vasquez for the failure of the deal is also darkly amusing, considering what Vallory does to him moments afterward. Vallory will remember that. ...oh yeah, and so will Vasquez.
  33. Funny.The Defenders 2017: Danny sums up just how much of an awesome, if weird group of eccentric people they make. Danny Rand: What are you talking about? [to Luke] Bulletproof. [to Matt] Blind ninja. [to Jessica] Whatever it is you are... Jessica Jones: Classy.
  34. WebVideo.Tabletop: In the Last Night On Earth episode, the inventory of the zombie players is listed as, "## zombies on the board", followed by a subtitle: "and Dr. Hannah" (as Felica's surprisingly multi-faceted zombie often wasted his turn doing things other than looking for brains).In this episode, Felicia Day introduces the other players with "I have an amazing set of guests here again, and my brother."
  35. Recap.The Office USS 4 E 9 Dinner Party: In a deleted scene, Michael lists his ideal dinner party guests as Jim, Pam, Ryan, the mayor, Barack Obama, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt (because then Brad or Angelina would come pick her up), Shia LaBeouf, all of the children of the world, Val Kilmer (but he probably wouldn't come), George Clooney, and finally, as an afterthought, Jan, if there was room.
  36. Film.The Four Seasons: Ginny calls the other couples out for treating her this way, accusing them of seeing an "blank spot where Annie used to be".
  37. Characters.Game Of Thrones Westeros: By the end of the series, Westeros has officially become the Six Kingdoms and the North with a new system of monarchy that makes it far less powerful than before with a more decentralized government.
  38. VideoGame.The Fairly Odd Parents Breakin Da Rules: Everything Trying to Kill You: The Anti-Fairies make sure of this in "Bad Luck 101". Be prepared to have wrecking balls, trash cans, falling stacks of giant books, and giant rogue library carts out for your blood. Oh, and Crocker too, but he's unrelated.
  39. DiabolusExMachina.Anime And Manga: At the climax of the Cell saga, Cell, having lost his Perfect form and in the midst of a Villainous Breakdown at the revelation that Super Saiyan 2 Gohan is even stronger than he is now, decides to be a Sore Loser and make sure everyone else loses with him. Goku teleports him, along with himself away before he can, and both seemingly die (along with King Kai and his companions). Gohan and the other Z-Fighters briefly mourn, and then out of nowhere, Future Trunks gets a hole blown through his chest. It turns out Cell is back and even stronger than ever, now as Super Perfect Cell. An interesting example in that even he himself thought he was a goner.
  40. FairyTail.Tropes Q To S: Juvia is shown fighting alongside Gray (and others) before the conclusion of her battle with him during the Phantom Lord arc. This may not matter as much as other examples, since said fight makes it obvious she's vulnerable to a Heel–Face Turn.
  41. InNameOnly.Video Games: Quake III: Arena and its Expansion Pack, Quake III: Team Arena, fit this trope as well. Despite having similar weapons and some of the first two Quake's characters (and the Doomguy), the most story connection you get is an All There in the Manual quip that the greatest warriors in the world have been teleported to an "Arena" to do battle for the amusement of a Sufficiently Advanced Alien. Likewise, while the first two placed a large amount of focus on their single-player campaigns, Quake 3 went all-out multiplayer. All of this is by-and-large because it was made as a competitor for Unreal Tournament.
  42. Characters.Sliders: Her joining the team late Season 3 wasn't exactly warmly embraced, especially by Wade. Rembrandt points this attitude out in "The Other Slide of Darkness".
  43. Characters.Hyrule Warriors 3 DS Warriors: Among the default characters in the Definitive Edition, she's the only one who isn't part of the main story in Legend Mode (and thus, isn't under the Hyrulean Forces or Dark Forces pages here)
  44. Headscratchers.Epic Meal Time: Not to mention the fact that he's definitely gotten a bit chubby overtime. His father noted it when he was in an episode and it's been lampshaded several times.The presence of a personal trainer in the group is probably why none of them have gotten noticably fatter from their culinary misadventures. Except maybe Cousin Dave. Muscles Glasses' departures that stretch months at a time are most likely due to the fact that he absolutely has to stay on top of his weight because of his job as a trainer. This was in fact noted when in a few episodes where they note that they would normally shred cheese using his abs, but he was at the gym.
  45. Series.The Nutt House: "Ladies and gentlemen...and Miss Frick." "Ms."
  46. Characters.Triangle Strategy Grand Duchy Of Aesfrost: If you choose to go to Aesfrost in Chapter III, Svarog warmly welcomes Avlora and even Erika back from their trip from Glenbrook before greeting Serenoa's party, but noticeably pauses a bit when referring to Thalas, indicating some disdain towards his nephew—most likely due to Thalas's particularly unapologetic hostility towards Svarog's son Dragan.
  47. Literature.Whatever After: A short moment of this in Once Upon A Frog. Abby is with Robin, Frankie, and Penny, addressing them in her narration as her three friends, then immediately correcting it to "two friends plus Penny".
  48. Characters.Bojack Horseman Hollywoo TV Movie Crews: Not as isolated as Goober and sadly not as wacky and more out of the game than the rest of the cast, Bradley is often the one left in the corner while the rest argue, talk or discuss inside Hollywoo(d) knowledge and/or rumors. It doesn't help that compared to them, he's been long out of the business, his character of Ethan was never as popular as The Horse, Sabrina or even Olivia (partly because of an awful catchphrase he often had to utter to the annoyance of the rest and his character being perceived as an uninteresting egghead) and because of his unassuming appearance (he looks more like a slightly chubby family man than the nerd he used to be). Tellingly, it takes for Sarah Lynn to come down to realize he's been following them and the rest often forget he's there (except BoJack who speaks to him to find out who was his mother and to see if they can get his pitch off the ground).
  49. VideoGame.Legacy Of The Dragonborn: Decapitation Presentation: Averted by the "Trophy Heads" addon for the mod - you'd think a mod with that name would involve this, but instead, you're collecting heads that were already decapitated and preservednote not all races are represented - Bretons, Imperials, Falmer, Dwemer, and non-Thalmor Altmer don't have heads. Somewhat played straight in the base game with the Dark Brotherhood questline, since the 15 targets Nazir gives the player (and Victoria Vici) all have skulls the player can collect and displaynote you're not required to decapitate them; you only have to kill them and loot it off their body, although there is a mod that will remove their head if you take it from their inventory.
  50. ReferencedBy.Village People: The Simpsons: In "Homer Loves Flanders", Homer relieves a "nacho hat" and eats from it while singing "Nacho, nacho man! I want to be a nacho man!" In "Simpson Tide", the Captain explains that it's tradition for a crew to sing an "ancient sea chanty" as an American vessel casts off, cuing the whole crew to launch into a rousing rendition of "In the Navy". The actual Village People (plus Smithers) even appear dancing on top of the submarine, only to end up drowning as it submerges.
  51. Fanfic.Scorpion Disciple: Gray-and-Gray Morality: No faction (except Orochimaru) is truly evil or truly good, each one working for their goals in a ruthless war for survival against the other blocs in the Secret World.
  52. YMMV.Seven Soldiers: Fridge Brilliance: A key component of Morrison’s run is a team of seven actually being a team of eight. The original Justice League of America were Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter...and Snapper Carr. The Big Seven are actually eight.
  53. Characters.Elden Ring Roundtable Hold: A rare justified inversion, Gideon makes it clear from the get-go that he despises pretty much all the Tarnished that use the Roundtable Hold as their clubhouse, and initially he believes that the Player Tarnished will be the same. When said Tarnished comes back with a Great Rune and makes it clear that, no, they are not here to brood but to become Elden Lord, Gideon quickly becomes a close ally, if a shady and morally-ambiguous one. By the end of the game he even laments the fact that they have to fight and part of his despair is that he cannot see anyone defeating Marika and the Elden Beast, not even you.
  54. Recap.Superjail S 1 E 9 Time Police Part 1: Freeze-Frame Bonus: Aside from "Chubsteaks", there's a glimpse of a smoothie place called "Lemon Jeff" (modeled after Orange Julius).The nations represented in the resistance against Future Warden include: The United States, Peru, Uganda, Norway, Chad, Iran, Switzerland, Translyvania (apparently now a country in that timeline), Afghhanistan, France, the Netherlands, China, Saudi Arabia, Japan (seen in the war sequence), and some crazy homeless man.
  55. WebVideo.Mindcrack: In Season one of the "gimmicks" was that the only way an enchanting table could be obtained was with a PvP kill, including team kills.[[/note]]
  56. Recap.Jellystone S 2 E 3 Jellystone Moon Platoon The Sea Monster Of Jellystone Cove: "Gentlemen, and Augie."
  57. Series.Living Single: In the episode Come Back Little Diva, Khadijah, Synclaire and Max run into Regine, who has moved out, at the laundromat. Regine greets them by saying “Hey ladies!... Khadijah.” Regine and Khadijah's argument on a talk show was the reason for Regine moving out in the first place.
  58. Manga.Freezing: No Guy Wants an Amazon: Averted. The entire female student body is made up of a bunch of superpowered Blood Knights and Student President Chiffon. If a male student at Genetics minds having a super-powered girlfriend, then he won't be dating anytime soon.
  59. Recap.Mystery Science Theater 3000 S 05 E 21 Santa Claus: Pedro: What food do they eat on Earth, Santa? Santa: Oh, everything in sight! They eat most of the animals, the plants, the flowers, the roots, the birds, even smoke and alcohol! Servo: And they eat at Hardee's.
  60. VideoGame.Hogwarts Legacy: Badass Teacher: Just about all Hogwarts teachers except Headmaster Black are immensely skilled and powerful spellcasters that will smear the walls with your exploded remains - having actually been the ones to make your remains exploded, mind you! - if you threaten the school or its students, as they ably demonstrate in the prelude to the Final Battle.
  61. Funny.Dragon Ball Super Super Hero: When Bulma arrives with backup she replies that she brought all of the strongest warriors on Earth she could find. .. and Krillin. Krillin indignity replies that he does have super strength and that all the cops at his precinct think he's strong.
  62. VideoGame.Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle: When TEQ Cell was first released, he opened up to a nuking meta where players would run nuker leaders as well as use Ki changing characters & items which led to Cell single-handedly destroying the enemy in one attack. This allowed players who owned him to curb-stomp not only his event but also the previously difficult STR Broly's Dokkan Event. Subsequent events made all bosses have multiple phases to deter any further nuking tactics. Years later, when they released another event with a single phase, they banned any and all nuking leaders (and Devilman) from being used in said event.
  63. Fanfic.Entropy: The Burning Miles: Hedgehog, Fox and...Probationary Agent.
  64. Funny.Terraria: The most powerful sword in the game, the Zenith, requires several endgame swords in the Terra Blade, Influx Waver, Horseman's Blade, Seedler, Star Wrath and Meowmere, two rare pre-Hardmode swords in the Enchanted Sword and the Starfury... and lastly the Copper Shortsword, the weakest sword in the game.
  65. Memes.My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic General Memes: A fancomic that was made to look like an official German magazine comic has spawned a couple memes of its own: Terry. explanation Scootaloo's name. "All my friends are here. And Applejack is here too."
  66. Funny.Hey Arnold: Arnold and his friends stumble into a counterfeit penny ring, thinking it's Wheezin' Ed's treasure. When Arnold and Gerald inspect the coins closer, the former asks this: Arnold: Who'd be stupid enough to make counterfeit pennies? And the moment shortly thereafter when they run into Vic and Morrie the counterfeiters: Sid: AAAAAAAH it's WHEEZIN' ED! (sees henchman) And... and SOME OTHER GUY!
  67. Manga.The Disastrous Life Of Saiki K: akahashi and Toritsuka often get this treatment in Saiki's narratives. As for Saiki's group, Kaidou and Nendou are the runoff, since nobody wants to be near them because of their looks (Nendou) or personality (Kaidou).
  68. Recap.The Loud House S 2 E 6 Patching Things Up Cheater By The Dozen: Easily Forgiven: Downplayed: while Lori states that she should beat up her siblings (and Clyde) for ruining her date, she is touched by their concern over Bobby supposedly cheating on her enough to forgive them.
  69. Characters.Happy Days: In one of the later episodes, when Fonzie is disappointed by the behavior of Chachi, Potsie, and Roger, he says that he was't expecting that from his friends and Potsie.
  70. Pantheon.Villainous Personalities And Quirks: Has one of the biggest, most hurting screams in the Pantheon, rivalling the likes of Black Bolt and Black Canary. Needless to say, if she is ever to hold a concert, that's another quick way to death. It's also one of the reason she became so venomously hostile to Sona, the reason why she pulled the shenanigans above in putting her in BDSM, as Akasha was infuriated how a mute person like her attracted so much with music compared to hers. Granted, it was because Sona could master a more soothing healing melody, but where's the fun and pain in that!? She also seems to have a mutual dislike from Runeterra's soul-stealing being Ahri, as Akasha pretty much stood for everything Ahri tried to avoid, being a heartless soul devouring monster. Akasha herself thinks that Ahri is a wuss that does not understand the true pleasure that is pain, especially from the soul-sucking power that they both have. And totally less sexy too.
  71. Funny.Scorpion: While Sylvester's Rousing Speech did wonders on fellow faire-goers, some were lost causes from the start: Cabe: Feel like your speech really had an effect on them, kid. Lute player: Yeah, I-I I can't pedal on account of my sciatica. Cabe: All except that one. He's a real weenie. (Chad, AKA King Phillip, emerges from a crate of manure) Sylvester: King Phillip? ...Were you hiding in the manure bin? Chad: (pretending none of this just happened) Good day. (rides off on his white horse) Cabe: Speaking of weenies.
  72. SelfDemonstrating.Pinky And The Brain: Uplifted Animal: Obviously. As I am a genetically engineered lab mouse, I posses this trope to its full extent. As does Pinky, believe it or not.Pinky: TROZ!
  73. VideoGame.Mega Man Zero 2: The second set of missions pit Zero against the three still-living Guardians...and Burble Herkelot. Since Herkelot is a member of Phantom's squad and Non-Elemental just like him, they might have been compensating...
  74. Fanfic.Gulch To Remnant: Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Cardin was initially antagonistic towards Jaune, bullying him when given the opportunity up until Jaune saved him from an Ursa Grimm in Forever Fall. Here, Jaune and Cardin and Grif share a more hospitable relationship. That may or may not have to do with the fact that Cardin got his shit wrecked by Tex and received the Grif treatment.
  75. Characters.Corner Gas: The Friend Nobody Likes: downplayed - Hank is the target for a sarcastic joke at the hands of pretty much everyone, but they rarely outright hate him, they just (rightly) think he's a doofus and (to a more arguable degree of correctness) let him know that. Brent claims that the value of Hank's friendship to everyone else is making everybody feel better about themselves when he's around compare themselves to.
  76. TearJerker.Futurama: Bender in "The Mutants are Revolting" stages a huge party to celebrate Planet Express' 100th delivery, which in itself is pretty sweet of him. He still goes through with the party and keeps it going when the rest of the gang (unbeknownst to him) are sentenced to two weeks in the sewer, and it seems like the best party ever, until he takes one look at a photo of him and all his friends and coworkers (and Zoidberg). This makes him instantly pull the plug on the party, realizing it's not worth it without the people he loves most. Bender: Party's over! Get out! It's no fun anymore! I want to be alone!"
  77. WebVideo.Yu Gi Oh ARCV The Abridged Series: When Yuto is telling Yuzu his backstory, he claims all he has left are the clothes on his back, the cards in his deck... oh, and Shun too.
  78. Website.Channel Awesome: Epic Hail: The Nostalgia signal. Linkara: No one should have to watch Uwe Boll alone, especially with Spoony.
  79. VideoGame.Gundam Battle Assault 2: In The Battle Master 2 and Battle Assault, Gloria, Pixie, and Heero have stock lines that they say in response to the different Mobile Suits they can select. For some reason, they will react with disgust or confusion whenever you highlight the Acguy.
  80. PeripheryDemographic.Anime And Manga: Highschool of the Dead has a very large female following despite being packed to the brim with gratuitous fanservice and Rule of Cool. This poll suggests that the show is actually more popular with females than it is with males. Commonly cited explanations is the prevalence of Action Girl, the refreshing Aversion of The Smurfette Principle, and Takashi.
  81. LetsPlay.Men Drinkin Coffee: In the intro to Let's Play Horror Games While Wearing a Fitbit: Judge: "I'm Dr. Judge Reinhold, and, in an effort to measure the effects of fear, I've enlisted my good friend, Diaper Chris, to wear a Fitbit while he plays various horror games in an effort to more closely ascertain what fear is." (Beat) "Tom's here too."
  82. FaceDeathWithDignity.Live Action TV: In the finale episode of Blackadder Goes Forth, the titular character, having spent the entire series attempting multiple Zany Schemes to get out of the trenches does this. Instead of doing what the Blackadders are famous for, he leads his men over the top and, along with the rest of the castnote except General Melchett, meets death with dignity. Blackadder: Good luck, everyone. [blows whistle]
  83. TheOneWith.Video Games: Injustice Injustice: Gods Among Us: The one where Superman becomes a villainous tyrant and leads the One Earth Regime. The one with General Zod. The one with Lex Luthor as the hero. The one where Luthor, Dick Grayson, and Shazam die. Injustice 2: The one with Sub-Zero, Raiden, Hellboy, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Brainiac.
  84. Trivia.Taylor Swift: All-Star Cast: The "Bad Blood" video, with (in alphabetical order) Jessica Alba, Lily Aldridge, Zendaya, Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne, Lena Dunham, Selena Gomez, Ellie Goulding, Gigi Hadid, Mariska Hargitay, Martha Hunt, Karlie Kloss, Kendrick Lamar, Serayah McNeil, Ellen Pompeo, Hailee Steinfeld, and Hayley Williams. The video for "You Need to Calm Down" is a who's who of LGBTQ+ icons and celebrities (plus Ryan Reynolds). Here's a full list.
  85. PhineasAndFerb.Tropes J To P: Friends... Bullies... Irving." Ferb also addressed Isabella as this during his speech in "The Lizard Whisperer". Ferb: And we few. We happy few. (To Phineas) We small band of brothers — (To Isabella) and girl from across the street.
  86. Series.Crusade: Recycled IN SPACE!: A Running Gag amongst the fandom was to refer to the show as "Dungeons & Dragons In Space!" There was a wizard (Galen), a thief (Dureena), a healer (Doctor Chambers), a warrior (Matheson), a paladin (Gideon), and Max.And in an interview for the DVD set, JMS essentially fronts up and admits that was quite deliberate. In addition to the Blake's 7 similarities, there's a lot of overlap between Crusade and The Hobbit: A team of dwarves/humans are out to save their home with the help of a hobbit/alien thief, a secretive wizard with an agenda, and a mysterious ring/box that shouldn't be trusted. There are also plentiful (and deliberate) Shout Outs to Arthurian myth. Aside from the ship being Excalibur, Gideon and Galen are very much Arthur and Merlin. Also, one unproduced episode involved finding a mystical sword, presumably the one seen in the intro.
  87. YMMV.Kamen Rider Saber Trio Of Deep Sin: Accidental Innuendo: The opening shot which shows all the present members of the Sword of Logos (and Mei) has Touma and Daishinji in an... interesting position.
  88. VideoGame.Hatsune Miku Colorful Stage: Improbably Female Cast: Gender ratio is heavily skewed towards females; of the original characters, there are only 4 males among the main cast. With the virtual singers included in the ratio, that makes 6 male characters, 19 females, and Mizuki, the latter of whom is treated as female from a gameplay perspective.The game has an unlockable title for clearing a certain number of lives with a team of only male characters.
  89. Series.The Grand Tour: In Episode 7 of Series 3, where the trio drive around the Scottish Highlands in an Alfa Romeo, a Lancia, and a Fiat, Jeremy and James refer to their cars as "Italian classics, and Hammond's Fiat".Done again in the following episode: Clarkson and May bring proper recreational vehicles to their RV trip, whereas Hammond brings a pickup truck. Cue multiple references to "our RVs, and Hammond's truck".
  90. Literature.The Metamorphoses: n later books, the text goes out of its way to show how affected the gods were by an event by mentioning that Juno herself is moved by it. For Hecuba, it's actually to point out that even Trojans' worst enemy feels bad for their queen.
  91. Film.The Thirty Three: The Bolivian Mamani gets a lot of violent crap from the others. Chileans do not like Bolivians very much. Eventually, the shared suffering makes them go easier on him.
  92. WebOriginal.Pandemic Panda: With Eljay being Zoidberg, in several Podcast and Coverage intros.
  93. Music.Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs: The album title puts "Layla" in a more important position, compared to the other love songs on the album.
  94. Recap.One Tree Hill S 3 E 10 Brave New World: Didn't Think This Through: Brooke puts the Clothes Over Bro’s website online, assuming she’s going to be able to handle the business by herself. She very quickly finds herself in the position of having to fulfil 43 orders and completely out of her depth, leading to her recruiting the rest of the cheerleaders (and Mouth) to help her meet the orders.
  95. Taskmaster.Tropes G To Q: n Series 2, Greg consistently refers to the competitors as "four comedians, and [some appellation appropriate to Richard Osman]", since the latter isn't a professional comedian. Greg opens the penultimate episode of Series 9 by announcing that he is joined by a group of veteran competitors who have learned that failure is often followed by success — "and also David Baddiel". (David was the lowest scorer of the series and had never won an episode up to that point) Because Series 15 Champion Mae Martin couldn't make it for the third Champion of Champions special, runner-up Kiell Smith-Bynoe had to fill in instead. This led to much of the promotional material for the special referring to the contestants as "four Champions (and Kiell)". Greg and Alex also took many opportunities both in the studio, and in Alex's case, the tasks, to point this out.
  96. VideoGame.Mega Man V: Back for the Finale: The Mega Man Killers (and Quint) return to be fought one more time each in this game. The Killers wouldn't return to the main series until Mega Man 10, while Quint is still absent aside from getting a successor in Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chousensha.
  97. LetsPlay.The Cosmic Superstars: A non-malicious example; Rukaru stands out as being the only one who doesn't actively stream. The other three are trying to change this.
  98. Film.Sleepaway Camp: Jerkass: Pretty much every one who is targeted by the killer. There's also Aunt Martha.
  99. WebVideo.Jesse Cox: Only Sane Man: Jesse himself acts as this, surprisingly, when put together with Clint Hackleman from Myndflame, Chiib and Trish from Co-Dependent, and Crendor, although he occasionally slips back into his usual quirky self. Footage here and here cements it.
  100. VideoGame.Tales From The Borderlands: In Episode 4, when Fiona and Sasha ask Rhys why he seems so sure his infiltration plan will work, one dialogue option has him respond, "Because we're Team Awesome! And August."
