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.

From the real life folder of When Trees Attack:

The Sandbox Tree. It is a poisonous tree. Its bark is covered with spikes. It grows up to 100 feet. Its sap is highly poisonous and corrosive. Its fruits are rather large and explode when mature, catapulting its razor-sharp claw-like corrosive-poison-laced seeds in a 300 feet radius with a loud bang. So, essentially, this tree has a 100m wide "Instant Death" Radius. If it could walk, it would enslave mankind.

I love it when people talk about nature in this way. Anyone here watch Fact Fiend?

"He likes shots of feet in a nonsexualized manner." could be one of the new relationship statuses.

Perhaps, though cutting out the word "He" makes it gender-neutral.

In a rare example of an attempt at 'colorful snark' that I find both funny and accurate, Horrible.Anime And Manga characterizes the art style of a manga called Dog Catalogue thusly:

the characters look like someone partially deflated their heads and used the air to inflate their hands

This never fails to make me laugh whenever I stumble upon it.

The take away clearly should've been "yaoi mouths". For some reason they remind me of the walrus from Pingu.

The wiki now is usually against snarking in examples, but this one on Cultural Posturing is the sort I would like to preserve, because it is an entirely valid observation:

  • From the Transformers movie: "Why are we fighting to save the humans, they're a primitive and violent race". This coming from the race of giant robots with weapons built into their bodies who have been engaged in a millennia-long war.

Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.

Are we allowed to post entries that no longer exist? Because in ye olden days of TV Tropes, we had Real Life sections for morality tropes like Dark Messiah. Which included this gem:

It's both freaky and hilarious to think Kim Jong-Il's birth was foretold by a magical hummingbird and he was born in "Mount Paektu, the highest mountain ever" and that he "walked out of his mother's Patriotic and Revolutionary Vagina six months prematurely and without the aid of a physician, thus rendering the Korean medical community irrelevant. In shame, all doctors fled our Great and Innovative Nation never to return.".

m-95 continues to be hilarious with another addition to Lousy Alternate Titles, explaining why Black-and-Gray Morality cannot be called Warhammer 40K School of Ethics with a friendly jab at the Warhammer 40K fans.

Secondly, and this may be surprising to long-time fans, not everyone has heard of Warhammer 40k.

Speaking of, I know it's narcissistic but I think this is the best addition to Lousy Alternate Titles I've ever made.

What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? is more polite and less presumptuous than Grown Adults try to Justify Watching Children's Shows by Talking about How Totally Super Dark They are, You Guys.

Speaking of Lousy Alternate Titles, this is my favorite entry:

* Abduction Is Love: So we were sitting unsuspecting in the Trope Renaming Bureau when this guy walks in.
Guy: I want to rename a trope.
We: Which?
Guy: Abduction Is Love.
We: Why?
Guy: Too ambiguous. Does "Is Love" refer to the abductor or the abductee?
We: Hmmm...You have somewhat of a point...well, you could always use Stockholm Syndrome instead...what is your lousy suggestion?

And then he suggested Uncle Fucker.

We: Wat.
Guy: Well, it's kind of the Ur-Example.
We: M...kay...?
Guy: Persephone. Y'know, Hades is her uncle, and so...
We: (fumble for the Big Red Button inscripted "Push in case of Troll")
Guy: AAAAAH!

So, last we heard of the guy is that he's Cerberus' favorite Chew Toy now. We hope you learnt to go the official way to rename a trope. Now if we can only get this dumb South Park tune out of our heads…

Like I laughed out loud while reading it on my phone and my mom took a picture of me (we were outside, waiting for my dad and brothers to finish their business in a public bathroom).

There's a lot of extremely specific trope misuse on the Legends of Tomorrow recap pages, but my favourite is a Fish out of Temporal Water from the 1920s having the Chernobyl disaster explained to him being listed as an Internal Reveal.

Probably a completely unintentional case but I will list it anyways. The article UsefulNotes.For The Love Of Many has this line;

As recently as 1813, Elizabeth Bennet was still having to decide between marrying for love or marrying for comfort

I have no clue why but the phrase "As recently as 1813" is very amusing to me. Like, ah yes, as recently as over 200 years ago.
