Agreed.
Since no one has any objections, the quote from Alas, Poor Scrappy has been cut.
Have I Mentioned I Am Sexually Active Today? has two quotes. My vote is to keep the second one. It's more on point.
I think this quote would work for Exploited Trope.

I'm not LGBT. I just think Rain's really cool. Apologies if my humor gets too painful.Easy Road to Hell has two quotes,can there be exceptions in this case?

Haruhi works for Exploited Trope, though it's not terribly strong.
For Easy Road to Hell, I don't see why having two quotations is necessary. Don't particularly favour either. I don't know which translation is the most accurate.

I'm not LGBT. I just think Rain's really cool. Apologies if my humor gets too painful.On Easy Road to Hell, I'm not sure either is very good. 1) They're basically the same quote, so we really don't need both. 2) There are some Unfortunate Implications to using a real world religion's quote for that trope.
Easy Road to Hell: Keep the former. Being the original quote seems like a tiny advantage and tiebreaker.
I have no issues with them being religious, and I do not see Unfortunate Implications.

have a listen and have a link to my discord serverI think that's a problem with the description, not the quote - there is a lot of Complaining About Philosophies and Ethical Systems You Don't Like.
ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NODoes anyone else have any input on Alas, Poor Scrappy? Otherwise, I'll be cutting the quote as unclear and not fitting the trope.
When the Clock Strikes Twelve has two quote. My vote is for the second quote. I think it's more relevant.

I think the Gremlins quote, on the quotes page, is better than either.
ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NOExplosive Instrumentation has two quotes. The second one is already on the Quotes page and is probably the inferior of the two anyway, so is it alright if I cut it?

Ditch all the individual work references.
