All discussions need to occur in these threads; here we only enact finalized decisions.
Please keep in mind that moderators are likely not familiar with the work/s the video/s is/are from. As such:

The False Innocence Trick video "The Prince acts helpless" should list Film.Bullet Train as a media source.
Be kind.Can the recent example from ALF for Correlation/Causation Gag get Wildlife Commentary Spoof as a secondary trope?
Brock and Molotov Cocktease (Dating Catwoman): Can you add The Venture Bros S 1 E 4 The Incredible Mr Brisby as a media source?
"Rey & Kylo vs Praetorian Guard" on Throne Room Throwdown has a redirect as a source. One source is Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but this it should just be The Last Jedi
We can choose to be better.Should the How It Should Have Ended and Nerdist Podcast examples really be listed amongst those relating to The Last Jedi since they don't actually have any footage from the film?

A little unusual duplicate video problem:
The videos "Ralph Wolf" (example of Punch-Clock Villain) and "Sam Sheepdog" (example of Punch-Clock Hero) are rigorously identical, including video and description.
They have also the same list of sources and secondary tropes, which means they appear twice on said pages.
I would suggest keeping Punch-Clock Villain as the primary trope (we see Ralph more often than Sam on the video), changing the title to "Ralph Wolf & Sam Sheepdog", adding Punch-Clock Hero to the secondary tropes, and deleting the other video.
"The Devil is a Poor Planner" on Missing Steps Plan needs to have the source updated from LightNovel.The Devil Is A Part Timer to Literature.The Devil Is A Part Timer due to a namespace move.
Also whoever titled that video is a mad genius.
Similar source changes need to be made to the following:
- "Suzuno" on Heel–Face Turn (currently sourced to Anime redirect)
- "Sadao Maou" on Battle Strip (Anime)
- "The Maou Syndicate" on Metaphorically True (Anime)
- "Alciel" on You Are Better Than You Think You Are (Anime)
- "The Devil Is A Part-Timer" on Serious Business (Anime)
- "Greenland" on Reassigned to Antarctica (Anime)
- "Suzuno" on Learnt English from Watching Television (Anime)
- "The Devil Is a Cheapskate" on Comically Small Bribe (LN)
- "The Devil Is A Large Ham" on Large Ham (LN)
- "The Hero Is an A-Cup" on A-Cup Angst (LN)
- "Emi Threatens Maou" on Failed Attempt at Drama (LN)
- "Two Special One-Pounders" on Visual Innuendo (LN)
The Simpsons videos for Fourth Wall Psych ("Who Can Solve Burns Shooting?") and Leaning on the Fourth Wall ("Can You?") from the "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" episode are virtually the same. I would recommend keeping the Fourth Wall Psych video, since this is more specifically what happened. Typically I would say make Leaning on the Fourth Wall a secondary trope, but since Fourth Wall Psych is a sub-trope to this, I think adding it as a secondary trope is redundant. I would recommend cutting it.
I've found three things but I don't wanna double post so I'll just lump them all here
- The Drawn Together video example for Suddenly Shouting / Metal Scream briefly shows an uncensored pic of a girl flashing her breasts (somewhere around the 25 second mark). if that's not enough of an issue though it's all right i can understand
- The The Amazing World of Gumball video examples for Call-Back, Flashback-Montage Realization and Regained Memories Sequence all display the same video. I'd say the clip shows all three in some capacity, so it would make sense to keep one of them, and make the rest secondary tropes instead. (my pick for which one would be the main would probably be Regained Memories Sequence :p)
- The "The Screaming Class" video example for Overdramatic Dating Commotion / Faint in Shock doesn't have a source. I could understand this if the source didn't have a page here, but the issue lies in that the source is not named in the title or description, which can make things quite difficult for people who might've been interested in the source (i believe the title of the video is referring to what happens in it and not the name of the source, so please correct me if this is not the case). If anyone knows where this clip comes from, it would be nice to add the name in the title/description.

✦ immerse your soul in love ✦ (they/them)I don't think the brief top nudity is enough to remove the video, is it? I think genitals are more of an issue.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.The Mickey Mouse (2013) video "Sleepwalkin'" for Impact Silhouette should have Here We Go Again! as the main trope because it largely refers to Mickey not wanting to run a marathon with Goofy after he spent one with him while he was sleepwalking.
For "Animaniacs I don't get it." on Crossover Punchline, please add Company Cross-References, as both Animaniacs and Looney Tunes are owned by Warner Bros.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.For the video, "We just shake hands ..." from Batman (1989) for Handshake of Doom, can you add Electric Joybuzzer as a secondary trope?
"Bart's First Word" on Flashback to Catchphrase is a shorter version of a video of the same name (but with only one uppercase) already covered on Primal Scene and Baby's First Words. Could you please delete the shorter video and add Flashback to Catchphrase to the latter one?
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.A video example for Instantly Proven Wrong from Star Trek: The Next Generation S3E23 "Sarek" titled "I See What You Mean" should probably have Bar Brawl as a secondary trope in it because the fight in it takes place in the ship's bar.
F1 the MS Office robo-assistant
The video "Dennis and Winnie" on Puppy Love should have Interspecies Romance as a secondary trope since Dennis is a human-vampire hybrid and Winnie is a werewolf.
I foolishly got myself bounced by adding bigotry to my troper page, so unless a miracle happens and I get unbounced someday like Ag Prov did way back when, don't expect any contributions from me anytime soon.For the video, "Graydon Creed, Jr." from X-Men: The Animated Series for Villainous Breakdown, can you add Boomerang Bigot as a secondary trope?

The Amphibia example under Didn't Think This Through, "Out the Window" should have No Escape but Down as a secondary trope because Grime's plan was effectively the only way to get away from Andrias's forces.
