ComicBook.Millie The Model: A typical day for a couple of haughty hotties. OOU rhyme
DarthWiki.Useless Notes: The Bible, Genesis 1:3: "And God pressed up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right,, and there was light." OOU rhyme
EarlyInstallmentWeirdness.Web Animation: The first Retarded Animal Babies animation had the animals recite the alphabet. It is also the only episode in which the episode number does not dot the "i" in "babies" in the title (Hamster's head is substituted instead). OOU rhyme
Funny.Doctor Who Series 10: This possibly becomes even funnier once The Reveal of the entity's identity happens. OOU rhyme
Headscratchers.Atlantis The Lost Empire: Anyone notice that Rourke (and to a much lesser extent, Helga) is the only character from the film to actually still appear in the merchandise? Why did Disney still want to market him instead of everyone else from the film? They actually did the same thing with the Horned King. OOU rhyme
Laconic.No Guy Wants An Amazon: Guys don't make passes at girls who kick asses. OOU rhyme
Main.Apocalypse How: Fire, ice, asteroid... gamma rays — There are just so many ways! OOU rhyme
Main.Christmas Tropes: Joyeux Noel, from Princess Belle. OOU rhyme
Main.Cliche: The term cliché is also sometimes used to refer to a verbal meme. This usage is almost exclusively reserved for old folk sayings. Expressions such as "the early bird gets the worm" and "raining cats and dogs" are examples. Of course, just like internet memes, cliches mutate over time and iterations. One person might say "The early bird gets the worm, but who wants worms?", "The early worm feeds the bird", or "It's raining cats and frogs!" OOU rhyme
Main.Climactic Volcano Backdrop: The climax of The Jungle Book 2 is very similar, with Mowgli, Shanti, Ranjan, Baloo, and Bagheera luring Shere Khan into a volcano where they then throw him into the very bottom of said volcano and crush him with a stone tiger head (although he was still alive even after he was hit by said stone tiger head), just in time for the vultures to arrive... OOU rhyme
Main.Cool Horse: Khan from Mulan. OOU rhyme
Main.Does Not Like Shoes: Many performers like to eschew shoes while performing on stage, often to feel more relaxed or to alleviate stage fright. OOU rhyme
Main.Fake Weakness: In No More Heroes, the boss Bad Girl will sometimes fall to the ground, seeming like a big opening for you to attack... take a single swing at her while she's on the ground and she'll parry, and the game will enter a cinematic of her beating you to death. Seems like a trap for gamers who are used to bosses who periodically leave themselves vulnerable, right? Well, not quite - she actually has two "fall to the ground crying" animations. One leads to the instant kill, and the other genuinely is an opportunity to knock her senseless. The trick is [[spoiler:to check her hands: If one's still on the bat, do not attack]]. OOU rhyme
Main.Glurge: The end of Knowing was blatant Glurge. [[spoiler:Earth fries, everybody dies. OOU rhyme
Main.Got The Whole World In My Hand: Wondering how villainous a character is? Sometimes you have to wait for them to kick some canines, but sometimes you can tell right off the bat when they stamp themselves with a logo that displays their contempt for humanity by either depicting the Earth (or any other beloved symbol of the free world) being squeezed, seized, nabbed, grabbed or suffering any other kind of torment. OOU rhyme
Main.High Altitude Battle: Super Mario Bros.: Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 take this further, as all of the battles with Bowser now take place in outer space. OOU rhyme

Shego eventually writes the heist off as more trouble than it's worth due to a mix of Kim's intervention and their parking woes. Truth in Television to be sure. Public parking will cost you $35 a day in the city by the Bay and any cheaper street parking only works IF you are lucky enough to find an available spot. OOU rhyme
Main.Treasure Is Bigger In Fiction: Disney: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs introduced the Dwarfs by showing their mining operation, in which they dug out pre-cut gems averaging the size of Dopey's eyes. OOU rhyme

MoreDakka.Video Games Q To Z: Summer Carnival '92 Recca: The Ur-BulletHell, lives off this one, naturally. And on the NES, no less! OOU rhyme
PlayingWith.Heroic Comedic Sociopath: Straight: Alice McMalice is a member of Team Good and is aiding the heroes in defeating the Big Bad. At the same time, she gleefully continues to be an evil jerk both towards the heroes' enemies, the heroes' allies and the heroes themselves, and the story treats it as funny. OOU rhyme
PlayingWith.Sudden Downer Ending: Exaggerated: Darcy's death causes a chain reaction in which Charlotte is Driven to Suicide, and she jumps off the Blood-Face Cliff which awakens the evil spirit of Dth'gtha which rains lightning down from the clouds and causes the entire world to flood blood.

Recap.Doctor Who S 31 E 13 The Big Bang: The Doctor's stuck in the Pandorica, Amy might be dead, and Rory's a Roman with a gun inside his hand — the very gun that may have killed her.

She'll require someone she can trust, someone with a bowtie, but he's been locked up and left to die. OOU rhyme
Recap.Doctor Who S 32 E 7 A Good Man Goes To War: Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Crime-fighting serial-killer-hunting katana-wielding Victorian interspecies lesbians. OOU rhyme

VideoGame.Luigis Mansion Dark Moon: Boo to you, two. OOU rhyme
VideoGame.Mario And Luigi Dream Team: Together in dreams, now in 3D. OOU rhyme
VideoGame.Metal Gear Online: Difficult, but Awesome: Attempting CQC is a much more arduous task than simply shooting the opposition in the face. However, one throw is a free stun, and if no one else is nearby, you can Fulton the target for lots of points, and in Bounty Hunter, extra Life Tickets. On the other hand, you could also pop lead in their head for a free kill. OOU rhyme
VideoGame.Neo Quest: First-Episode Twist: [[spoiler: The revelation of the computer simulation is treated as a complete surprise at the end of the first chapter. But if you've played Neo for a long time, you're likely to know it's coming]]. OOU rhyme

WMG.Civilization Beyond Earth: The full name for the ARC is the American Nation Reclamation Corporation. OOU rhyme
WMG.Homestar Runner: Normally, the Halloween Episodes don't have much of an effect on the series' Loose Canon; if they did, Homestar would still be stuck in the Horrible Painting after Jibblies 2. Unfortunately, whatever the Brothers Chaps put in for that cartoon they forgot to do for the 2009 episode. That's right. Strong Sad actually doomed everyone. The Cheat is eaten, Homestar was transformed into a macrame hanging on a seventies basement wall and into Coach Z at the same time, the King of Town has drowned, both Pom Pom and the Poopsmith are dead, etc. OOU rhyme

VideoGame.Donkey Kong Country: Alliterative Name: Almost all the levels in the Donkey Kong Country series use either this trope or Sublime Rhyme for the level names ("Hot-head Hop", "Gusty Glades," etc) Most of the rest rely on puns; see Viewers Are Geniuses below. Every level in Donkey Kong 64 except DK Isles has an alliterative name.
VideoGame.Final Fantasy X 2: Teleporting Keycard Squad: Lampshaded in-universe. "Find the sphere and the fiends appear" is a credo among sphere hunters.
VideoGame.Fur Fighters: Each and every one of Tweek's Babies has a name that rhymes with the aforementioned character. Rhyme Theme Naming
VideoGame.Golden Sun 1: Egopolis: The city of Lunpa, named after its founder. Also combined with Sublime Rhyme for some cases, a number of location names sound similar with their leaders'-either due to coincidence, translator's choice, or plain laziness in the original names. Rhyming Names
VideoGame.The Fairly Odd Parents Shadow Showdown: In "Get a Clue", calling your fairies in a room with a giant magic loom will start a short Running Gag in which Cosmo tries to name all the words he can think of that rhyme with "loom".
VideoGame.You Dont Know Jack: The Gibberish Questions. It is a matter of opinion how sublime they actually are, which makes them all the more challenging without hints.
VideoGame.You Dont Know Jack: Question 10n in episode 23 of 2011 has words that rhyme with "Gellin", in keeping with the clever Dr. Scholls commercials.
WebVideo.Aventures: Badass Creed: Théo's Inquisitor creed during the season 1 finale.
Théo: From the Darkness comes the Light.
United, we don't know fright.
Wherever you hide, shiver,
Here comes the Inquisitor.
WebVideo.Video Games Awesome: Their Dr. Seuss build in Minecraft has the gang saying a lot of Dr. Seuss like rhymes, mostly from Fraser, with mixed results
Fraser: What is this? My Minecraft just crashed.
Beat
What the frig rhymes with crashed?!
WesternAnimation.Billy Dilleys Super Duper Subterranean Summer: Billy Dilley, of course. Rhyming Names
WesternAnimation.Duckman: In "A Room With a Bellevue":
Nurse: (sing-songy) Uh-uh-uh, there'll be no sodomy, or you'll get a lobotomy!
WesternAnimation.Princess Gwenevere And The Jewel Riders: Dragon Rider: Kale uses a big red dragon named Grimm for transportation. In a quite unusual way, however, as it carries her in a "dragon wagon" that she's sitting in. Grimm comes with a Breath Weapon but uses it very sparsely (and only on command).
WesternAnimation.She Zow: Weaksauce Weakness: If the costume's color is changed from pink, her powers will go on the blink. (yes that was the actual line).
WhoseLine.Tropes S To Z: A couple "Scenes From a Hat" and "Hats" playings returned Dr. Seuss parodies:
Colin: (suggestion: "Dr. Seuss pick-up lines") Could you do it with a friend?/Could you do it end-to-end?/Could you do it on a boat?/Could you do it with my goat?/Could you do it in a tree?/Could you do it while I see?/Hee-hee-hee, hee-hee-hee-hee.
Colin: (wearing The Cat in the Hat hat) I will have you on a boat, I will have you with a goat. On a boat, with a goat, I don't care!
Woolseyism.Anime And Manga: In Soul Eater, to communicate with Lord Death, you fog up a window or mirror and write on it with your finger "42-42-564", pronounced in Japanese "shi-ni-shi-ni-go-ro-shi", which is a homophone for something like "Die, Die, Kill!". Obviously, this doesn't translate into English. The FUNimation dub replaced this with the catchy little rhyme "Call forty-two, forty-two, five-sixty-four, whenever you want to knock on Death's door." This works out nicely, because Lord Death runs a Extranormal Institute and took on a Bunny-Ears Lawyer, Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass alter ego to avoid scaring off any potential pupils.
Wrestling.GLOW: All the time.
"Tina Ferrari, the capitalist dream. She won't look so good face down in the ring! She's thinks she so tough and so strong! I will destroy her, it won't take long."
YMMV.Arrow: Memetic Mutation: It became common to joke about or just point out the name of a writer and co-executive producer of several later episodes: Speed Weed. Rhyming Names, OOU
YMMV.Bananas In Pyjamas: Adaptation Displacement: Or that there was even a series of picture books published in The '80s that not only featured many Bananas and the Teddies, but Beans in Jeans, Zucchinis in Bikinis and other such creatures. Rhyming Title
YMMV.Tango And Cash: Woolseyism: The Latin American translation changes Tango's "Rambo is a pussy" quip to "Rambo es blando" (Rambo is soft) which, while softer in language, do gives it a Sublime Rhyme.
