So, as a counterpoint to the other thread, this is where we talk about entries that we find incredibly amusing and intelligent. To start us out, I present the entirety of Real Life, which had me cracking up when I first read it.

The picture and caption for All Crimes Are Equal. I feel kinda bad for laughing at it, but still.

I might have laughed at SelfDemonstrating.True Art, were I not of a high enough intellgence to realize the stimulating and thought-provoking nature of it. Truly, this is art of the highest calibre.

The above is all in Sarcasm Mode, just in case that wasn't clear. :P

Speaking of, the caption for True Art Is Angsty.

This paragraph from the Nightmare Fuel page for Half-Life of all places, involving the Stalkers in the HL2 folder:

Nightmare Retardant once you realize that some of them sound more like horny monkeys going nuts after snorting a crapton of cocaine than Tony Montana, but some of the terrifying screams were re-used for Left 4 Dead 2 because they're that effective. However, the screams become less creepy if you're getting a headache.

[up] I love that one too! Honestly though, if you are actually that strong, then why are much simpler and less secure obstacles almost always better at impeding your progress? Hmmmmmmm...


The fact that Statler and Waldorf appear at the end of Pretty Cure's article. Not only did they jab at its exclusivity, but they apparently became part of its Periphery Demographic too. Think about that for one moment.

These two may literally be more bark than bite, but they are no less tenacious than everyone else.

The entry for Big Bad on Fire Emblem: Three Houses trope page losts one of the game's big bads as Seiros' emotional baggage which is a rather nice way of saying someone loses their mind.

I can't find the page now, but it was a Useful Notes page. It said something to the degree that saying Christmas was copied from pagan holidays is like saying the 4th of July was made to appease the firework industry.

EDIT: It turn out is was Artistic License – Traditional Christianity . Another gem from that page: The idea that Jesus was a purely fictional character is generally considered to be refuted by professional historians, and in fact they look at people who make this claim the same way they do people who claim the Holocaust never happened. (Not with the same level of horror, mind you, but with a similar level of "are you kidding me?")

The Disgaea page image and entry for Improbable Accessory Effect. The fact that the accessory in question, horse weiner, used to be the name the trope was originally pitched as is just wow

The site sure had some pretty interesting titles to say the least pre 2011. "Super Grape" (which is now Ascended Extra) is still my favorite though.

"Super Grape" will always be my favorite XD "Ascended Extra was formerly known as "Super Grape", the explanation being that it's a character who emerges from being "as nondescript as one grape in a bunch". Renamed mostly because Super Grape barely made sense even when explained."

It's on the wayback machine too! http://web.archive.org/web/20080918235940/https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SuperGrape

Man, I don't think I've even seen that logo... when was that changed, anyway? All I know is I made this account in November 2010 but most likely had been browsing the site before that, the question is only how long before that...

[up] It changed sometime late 2008 and early 2009. I joined summer 2009 and the logo was an eaelier design of the lampshade logo we have now

Still cant believe this site has been around for 15 years. and that I have been around for 10 of those years haha

This is the YKTTW that renamed Super Grape to Ascended Extra (this was before TRS existed). Two suggested alternate titles were "Now Starring Rosencrantz and Guildenstern" and "Isn't It Wonderful", which were even worse.
