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.

Blame The Tropers: When the cause of something negative inside or outside of a work's flaws and quality (Overshadowed by Controversy, Broken Base, Fandom Rivalry, etc.) can be traced back to TV Tropes's involvement in it, or the effects of many Entry Pimps going nuts stuffing the work's pages with any trope and moment concieveable, bashing/gushing the show to the ground and beyond, or said tropers being the main culprits of shoehorning the work everywhere.

Clever Cleft Of Wonder: An intelligent character has a large chin. Vaguely named for The Fairly OddParents!'s "Cleft the Boy Chin Wonder" even though Timmy's not intelligent at all. And the title's slightly redundant but how could I choose between the alliteration and the Trope Namer?

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
