Bad Trope Ideas

Go To

You know how a trope needs to be common enough to be a trend on multiple pieces of media, but also have enough meaning to affect the story in a way that defines it? Well, not on my watch, it doesn’t. Post the name and description, and maybe even some examples, of a trope you’d never want to see on this wiki. It can be People Sit On Chairs, Too Rare To Trope, The Same But More (Specific), or any other violation of wiki policy. It can even be YMMV or Trivia, too!

Also, no references to Mario Pissing or Gay—especially not the latter. If you do that, I will holler your post. Please be original.

Without further ado, let’s begin.


Toriyama Art Style: The work was drawn by Akira Toriyama or someone impersonating his art style.

Too Tropey Stopped Troping: A work is so densely packed with tropes that after a certain point in its run, nobody can be bothered to continue adding tropes to the page.

Tropeness Induced Audience Tropathy: When there are too many tropes in a work. Just too many of those goddamn tropes. So many tropes that the audience starts hating tropes and stops consuming all media with tropes in it. They might even make stories without any tropes.
