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.

Can I start a cleanup page for fandom rivalry?

From the Troubled Production entry on The Room:

"one scene began with Lisa answering a phone call from her mother and ended with them walking to the door"

In context this is an example of how incoherent the original script was... But I feel like intentionally having a scene in a work that started with people talking over the phone, then suddenly having the characters in the same room with no explanation would be a good Mind Screw, and/or sign of an Unreliable Narrator.

I’ve always wondered if the room was satire or not. It’s impossible that it’s not

All evidence points to it being completely sincere.

Speaking of The Room, Tommy Wiseau's page does not believe he's human.

Yeah, I'm in the middle of reading The Disaster Artist in which Greg Sestero, who played Mark, recounts his friendship with Tommy Wiseau and the making of the movie - Writing by the Seat of Your Pants and Throw It In accounted for some of the stranger moments, but a lot of it seems to just be down to the movie being written and directed by a major cloudcuckoolander.

Instead of Oh, Crap! they should have said "Help!"

This entry for the lois and Clark ymmv page, for arc fatigue

It was, particularly since the first attempt at the wedding had been intended and promoted as the actual wedding. Scheduled for Valentine's Day Weekend, beautiful heart-shaped wedding announcements had been printed and distributed, including to ABC News anchors who displayed them on the air. At the last minute the network insisted that they change it, ostensibly for fear that people would stop watching after Clark and Lois finally tied the knot. Or was that it? Various explanations exist. Were the show creators, the network, or both, trying to coordinate with the comic books, where Lois had just broken off their engagement? Or did the comic book creative team have them break up on request from the show/network? In any event, just say "frog-eating clone" (or just "clone", or "clone and amnesia") to a Fo LC (Friend of Lois & Clark) and watch what happens.

Not an entry, but I love that Jerkass has the extremely blunt redirects of Jerk, Asshole, and Bitch.

[up] I checked that out, and something else I found funny is that (despite those redirects existing) everyone just says Jerkass anyways.

Also, in a similar vein to what you mentioned, Really Gets Around has the very blunt redirect of Slut.

This line in the description for A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read. The page image is also pretty good.

Looking at the Related tab for Spork, I don't think any of the wicks are right.

Yeah, I remember finding Spork once and looking through the wicks; found a ton of misuse. Maybe a trope about how sporks are something inherently funny could work, but it should be brought to TRS eventually.

I vaguely remember hearing "sporking" as a sort of synonym for MSTing, but it was probably also on this wiki.

Even though Web Animation appearing as Battle For Woodland Island was fixed, Trivia appears as Battle For Woodland Island which is pretty funny to see on pages like What Goes Where on the Wiki or Not a Trope.
