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.

[up] That one is also one of my favorites.

Tbh I never really hated his minigames in the original, but they did make them better in the remake.

This from Sonic the Hedgehog Adventure Gamebooks:

"You don't want to know what happens to people who enter the freezing vacuum of space without a space suit. No, you don't. It's really, really gross. Put it this way, the phrase that astronauts use for it is 'Explosive Decompression'. See what I mean? Not nice at all. Just accept that it's GAME OVER for Sonic and Tails and close the book. Start again at the beginning."

Pretty much the entirety of SelfDemonstrating.The Joker. It's probably our most expansive Self Demonstrating character page, and it's so much fun to write for.

Even though it's a relatively recent addition, I especially like the part of the description where Mr. J lists characters who he should not be confused for. "I also don't work for the British Library" would sound hilarious in Mark Hamill's Joker voice. XD

I don't think I've mentioned until now that I think the image on Take a Third Option is pretty funny. That man clearly found the answer to getting out of any Morton's Fork situation: Pee on everything.

From Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005):

  • Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Quite possibly the most non-standard use of this trope, as the Smiths both have this moment as they're pointing guns at each other.
    John: I can't do it.
    Jane: RRGH. COME ON.
    Both: [sex]

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

"Both: [sex]" is probably the funniest stage direction to have ever existed.

On another note, the caption for Putting on the Reich is a great zinger.

This entry from the Real Life folder of Healthy Green, Harmful Red:

  • At stop lights, red means stop and green means go. Green is healthy because you can safely continue driving and red is harmful because we all know the health issues that come from getting T-boned by a semi.

Well, I've only been t-boned by an SUV, but I can confirm that there are definitely some health issues that come with that, yes!

Our newist trope because I saw this and thought "Ohh it's that original race I wanted to make that died on the vine."

If this trope came out a few years sooner, my Orcs wouldn't be Multi-Armed and Dangerous.

Horrible.Tabletop Games once had a quote describing one of the many, many design flaws of F.A.T.A.L.

""...so it's entirely possible to accidentally cause the apocalypse when trying to determine whether or not you're pregnant."

[up][up] As a Powerwolf fan... I can verify this. It's such an over-the-top band and also amazing.

Part this thread, part "tropes you didn't know existed until recently", but I just learned that not only do we have Holler Button, it used to be called Press X To Jason.

Tbh I never really hated his minigames in the original, but they did make them better in the remake.

This on Palm Bloodletting:

"You rarely use your hand anyway, right? That's not an inconvenient place to have an injury. There certainly aren't any sensitive muscles or tendons there. Not an area packed full of pain receptors or anything. And it certainly won't sting the moment you sweat or accidentally get salt on it."

An unintentional one on Fridge.Mega Man 2:

Fridge Horror: The end sequence. Assuming that tableau of Mega walking home isn't merely the devs showing off the NES' palette-swapping capabilities, etc., that means it takes Rock a year to get home from Wily's final castle.

I just think it's funny to imagine Mega Man spending an entire year walking somewhere. Can't he just teleport back the way he teleports into levels? If not, did Dr. Light even try to pick him up? tongue

The image for Godwin's Law of Facial Hair, mostly for the very un-subtle zoom on Jameson's mustache as Cap talks about menaces.

The legend has returned.
