I forget honestly. :( I have seen so many Tropes now.

It was either Tap on the Head or Put Their Heads Together.

I forget which it was but all I know is that I first found the link in a Monster Pulse comment.

I know that the first thread I saw was Uncanny Valley note , but I just kind of took a glance at the page and went back to doing something else.

I didn't actually come back to the site until.... however many years later, thanks to a link sent by a friend, and I think the first trope I looked at when I wound up back here was Green Rocks.

Hard to explain and to express, forever just a work in progress (he/they)

Fun with Acronyms. I had looked up how to write spy fiction, and someone had linked several tropes related to the genre.

I think it was Darker and Edgier, linked from the Homestar Runner wiki. I immediately became hooked.

Sonichu. It's the reason I even learned about TV Tropes(and I learned Sonichu from Linkara's 99th episode)

I don't remember the first trope I actually saw, but the first one I heard of was Five-Man Band.

I remember, on another forum, some Tropers were asking what categories Team Fortress 2 characters fit into on the Five-Man Band. I erroneously thought they were referring to a literal music band, and said that the Pyro should be the manager. Then I was corrected, rightly exposing me for the idiot I was (and still am).

Those sell-by-dates won't stop me because I can't read!

I'm tempted to say Nightmare Fuel, since it's one of our Tropes Of Legend, but something tells me it isn't quite it.

Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!

Not Brainwashed was the one on which I took the dive into the massive walls of text this wiki seemed like back at the time (my reading English has greatly improved since then).

I think it was the Light And Dark The Adventures Of Dark Yagami page (blame the author of that fic). Can't remember what my first actual trope was

I don't remember my first trope, but I know that I discovered TV Tropes through the Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy page. Its a long story.

Ya, I'm weird like that...

I think it was something that has since been renamed (I came here back in 2009), like one of the character named tropes.

I was on another forum and someone linked to Hijacked by Ganon. It was in a Legend of Zelda thread.

I can almost remember what the first page I saw was. It was either Inspector Spacetime (while googling Doctor Who) or Not the Fall That Kills You… (linked from a discussion on Wikipedia).
