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 cut reason points to this TRS thread, a big omnibus thread for Wiki Tropes. People decided to cut it but didn't talk much about why.

We in particular thought it could be merged into Network Decay, but that idea didn't get much more support after us.

Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.

Green Rocks on how the Fantastic Four got their powers:

If you prefer a more scientific outlook. The current explanation is that Reed was partially responsible for designing the entire universe.

From Trivia.Amphibia:

Promoted Fanboy: Kermit the Frog is a fan of the show. He made a voice cameo in season two.

This feels very nonstandard for Promoted Fanboy, yet I can't say there's any actual problem.

The fact that Between the Lions, a preschool show, has a Magnificent Bastard entry.

This remark

The pages I found the Flame Bait wicks on were The Good Wife S 7 E 08 Restraint and Pound and Pumpkin Cake's Adventures (and Misadventures) in Potty Training (I feel embarrassed to have to type something like that out, I just stumbled upon it while checking some of the wicks).

This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman

Jake needs to know the name of a particular hot dog vendor in order to catch an assassin and save Holt. Unfortunately, they know literally nothing about the guy other than that he's a hot dog vendor and that he keeps his cart on a particular street corner. So their only hope is to find someone with an encyclopedic knowledge of every hot dog cart in New York City.

They shouldn't really be that funny by themselves. I think it's the context + "Potty Training" and "Hot Dog Cart" being Inherently Funny Words to me.

This troper's thoughts about what a since-cut Informed Species example says about gremlins.

Mr. Bogus, as well as his younger cousin, Brattus, are supposed to be gremlins, but due to their yellow skin, it's indeterminate whether they actually are gremlins or just little people. Justified in that gremlins don't have an established look.

So apparently they are trying to say they don't look like gremlins while also saying that there is not a standard look for gremlins.

For the record, Informed Species only applies to Real Life animals, which gremlins obviously aren't.

Cave Johnson, we're done here.

The picture on Catch-22 Dilemma, especially since it's (I assume) a real message from a real game.

These two entries in Their First Time, I find them so squicky they make me laugh.

*Light loses his virginity to Ryuk in A Charmed Life

*In Chapter 35 of The Command Quarters, Starscream attempts to lose his virginity to Megatron (keeping his lack of experience a secret), only to learn that Megatron is also a virgin.

Just a simple man, making my way through the Tropes.

The Batman Beyond example from Failed Future Forecast apparently considers Donald Trump to be interesting enough to justify the show considering George W. Bush's presidency boring.

While it was removed because it was blatant misuse, for a while The Noddy Shop had a First-Episode Twist example that was basically "The theme song explains the show's premise and thus spoils the entire plot for the first episode of the show" and stated that apparently the fact that Noddy is the name of the main character is a huge spoiler.

Also from Catch-22 Dilemma:

There was a case in Canada of a young man whose identification had actually been destroyed due to becoming a foster child. He ultimately used his criminal record to get a driver's license.

That would be the only form of ID you could get without another form of ID, wouldn't it. If only there were more detail than "in Canada" given to be able to look it up and confirm it actually happened... :(

The Power of Blood is a curious thing - it's divided into four subtypes labelled A (blood is binding), B (blood is symbolic), AB (blood is magical), and O (blood is disturbing).

The way the idiosyncratic labelling schema sneaks up on you halfway through the list is delightful, and the appropriateness of each label makes it even better (AB is more or less A and B combined, any story with blood can use type O).

It's mildly amusing in an ironic sort of way that Administrivia.Complete Monster lists My Little Pony as an example of something unlikely to have Complete Monsters, when the first ever MLP villain is listed as one.
