So far we have a scattershot, arbitrary list of maybe 10-20 bloopers. Does this really need an example section or should that be removed? Or, since it's a commonplace trope, should we work on building it up?

I am not sure this is even a trope since bloopers are by definition not purposeful. I think Hilarious Outtakes and Throw It In! cover what actually constitute tropes related to bloopers, but that may just be me.

One is a reel of bloopers, and the other is things being deliberately put in the show.

This could just be required to be on trivia pages for shows.

[up] Agreed, should be Trivia.

Then should the examples be removed too? Seems to make no sense to put a random arbitrary list up if we're just going to list actual examples on the works' trivia tabs.

No, that's not how it works. Both work pages and trope pages are to have examples for most cases. Unless you can show an exception requirement, we have examples on this page as well.

Trivia: "...on-topic information, fun facts that are not really storytelling tropes."

Sounds like what we've got here alright. Fun non-trope stuff.

No way we're just gonna drop the examples though.

The hell's with the image on this page? Seriously? No wonder we get stereotyped as "hurr more like anime tropes amirite"...

Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember them, you are not alone.

[up][up]The source is your only complaint? And your avatar just makes it look hypocritical.

I think it would be better to show a menu option or something.

Fight smart, not fair.

I think it is fair for one to want to have fewer anime/manga images and yet still be a fan of anime/manga. Anyway, there is now an image pickin' topic on this trope here.

I like making this trope into a trivia page too by the way.

This definitely sounds like trivia to me.
