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.

That's quite a spoiler, but I haven't seen if it has an Image Pickin' thread that decided on that. Oh wait, that's a spoiler trope. I'm so stupid. Actually it doesn't have an Image Pickin' notice. I'll have to look into the spoiler policy.

I think that was sarcasm.

Maybe. But there are people out there who think the Disney Animated Canon is classic and every kid under 5 in the technologically develped world has seen them.

To be fair, the majority seems to have, but there's always people who haven't. Still, if it's something that is discussed and analyzed to death, it's some pretty nebulous territory. I'm of the mind that a spoiler should never be revealed unless warned about or hidden, no matter how old or popular the work is, because there will always be someone who hasn't yet seen it. There's plenty of really damn big media that I haven't seen, so I've found that around certain parts of the forum I need to tread carefully. I avoid the threads about said media, but even still, sometimes people just ignore the spoiler policy outright (part of which includes no unmarked spoilers in a thread not pertaining specifically to the media you're referring to) and ruin things that in their mind "everyone who was going to see it has seen it by now!" Um, no, not everyone. Some of us are too busy to watch everything they wish to see at their leisure. Some of us have very little leisure time because of school and work and stuff.

The image issue is already discussed. It's leaning toward keep, the issue of spoiler images on spoiler tropes being case by case.

From The Secret World Of Alex Mack:

She has a bad first day at her new school, and to make matters worse, a truck from the plant crashes and drenches her in a top-secret chemical called GC-161.
I hate it when that happens.

Martyrdom Culture:

Actually, this was a problem in Real Life as well. Charging the enemy lines stark naked with a giant axe screaming bloody murder was a surprisingly safe and reliable profession in Viking times; when the Norse civil wars ended in the 10th century AD, one of the challenges Scandinavian society faced was what to do with all those unemployed berserkers. And that's all you need to know about early medieval Europe.

* Also the palace guards are supposed to be this way, and are often goaded by tourists hoping to get them to break face.
  • And if you piss them off, indeed they just might "break face".

Those Scunthorpe Problem examples a page back were good. [lol]

From the Comic Books section of Department of Redundancy Department:

  • DC Comics. "DC" stands for Detective Comics, ergo their name is Detective Comics Comics.
    • They also publish a series called Detective Comics. Which means it's Detective Comics Comics' Detective Comics.
    • And the comics the publish are Detective Comics Comics' comics.

Immediately followed by:

  • DC has a series of omnibus reprints of comics, called Showcase Presents. One volume reprints the 1950's comic book Showcase, so it's Showcase Presents Showcase.
    • So... Detective Comics Comics Presents Showcase Presents Showcase?

Ruthless Modern Pirates' real life section, bolded by me:

In 2013, a pensioners group in the UK were informed that at their next meeting, they would be entertained by a man talking about pirates. Given the nature of the event, they assumed he would be some sort of musician or storyteller, or someone who performed in character as a pirate of the traditional kind. So some of the elderly regulars decided to dress up in pirate fancy dress costumes. Then it turned out that the man giving the talk about pirates was a captain who had been hijacked by Somali pirates, and was doing public speaking about his experiences.

That must have been awkward.
