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.

Boring And Impractical: A character, technique, or item that's both tedious and useless, combining the boring of Boring, but Practical and the impractical of Awesome, but Impractical; this trope is the worst of both worlds.

Google Snake Game.

We used to have Awesome Yet Practical, but it got cut.

Do you get bonus points, in that case?

Well it's a shame that Awesome And Practical got cut. At least we got Difficult, but Awesome, but that's a different trope. As for who's get Bonus Points, are you referring to me or KungFuCutBug?


Anyways, Pen Clicking: a trope where a character rapidly presses a pen's button, making a clicking noise that may be annoying for many.
