For the videos "Reba McEntire As Etta" in Celebrity Voice Actor and "Sharptooth" in Terrifying Tyrannosaur, please remove the media source The Land Before Time in both videos since the videos only show the sequels of the film.
Currently semi-active.On VideoExamples.Minecraft, "Herobrine (In the Beginning)" (Complete Monster) isn't sourced correctly. It's from a fan-made video, not anything from the game itself, and should be sourced to whichever fan work it's from, but the description doesn't identify what it's from beyond "this Minecraft fan machinima".
Please make the following edits:
- Replace the secondary trope Year Inside, Hour Outside on the "Testing the Time Machine" video from the Time Machine page with the secondary trope Year Outside, Hour Inside, since more time is passing outside the time machine than inside it.
- Add the secondary trope Astonishingly Appropriate Interruption to the "P&F - Shaun of the Dead" video from the Crossover Cameo page. In the video, Shaun says "That's scarier than these pharmacists saying..." at which point he transforms into a pharmacist and says "Lots of me!" which is what he was probably going to say anyway.
- Add the secondary trope Crashing Dreams to the "Dream Weaver" video from the Never Wake Up a Sleepwalker page. In the video, Gramma dreams she's attacking a giant gnome, while actually attacking Bill, which makes him dream he's a truck being crushed by a statue of himself.
- Add the secondary trope Faceless Eye to the "Two of them" video from the Evil Tower of Ominousness page. In the video, Sauron appears to be nothing more than a gigantic eye.
- Add the secondary trope Fishing Episode to the "Die Trying" video from the Reprise Medley page. In the video, the Tillerman family tries to catch a dangerous fish called a snakehead.
- Add these secondary tropes to the "Pierrot gets stabbed" video from the I Want My Mommy! page:
- Amusement Park of Doom: Pierrot is trampled to death in a parade at an amusement park.
- Creepy Circus Music: The circus music in the parade is flat, which makes it sound creepy.
- Add these secondary tropes to the "Super Readers" video from the Transformation Sequence page:
- Team Hand-Stack: The Super Readers put their hands together and shout "Super Readers to the rescue!"
- Audience Participation: The audience is invited to put their hands into the Team Hand-Stack.
- Portal Book: The Super Readers fly into a book called The Rolling Rice Cakes to enter the story.
Here we go again, clearing out most of the Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog wicks from the VideoExamples.Sonic The Hedgehog examples. Most of them already have primary media sources, while the ones that will be kept don't cleanly fit under something and are crossovers, one fanvid, or themed merchandise.
- "Orbot considers leaving Eggman" (primary trope I'm Standing Right Here) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog, as it already has VideoGame.Sonic Lost World as a primary media source.
- "I HATE that hedgehog!!!" (primary trope Character Catchphrase) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog, as it already has WesternAnimation.Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog as a primary media source.
- "The Drowning Music" (primary trope Critical Annoyance) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog, as it already has the three games demonstrated in the video as its primary media source, Sonic 1, 2, and 3. Add Songs in the Key of Panic as a secondary trope, as it features a song that gradually gets quicker and quicker before stopping, signifying the loss of a life.
- "Tails" (primary trope Heli-Critter) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog, as it already has VideoGame.Sonic Adventure as a media source.
- "Eggman Berates Starline" (primary trope The Only One Allowed to Defeat You) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a secondary media source, it already has ComicBook.Sonic The Hedgehog IDW as a media source, which is the comic that is being fandubbed.
- "Neo Metal Explains Himself" (primary trope Motive Rant) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a secondary media source, it already has ComicBook.Sonic The Hedgehog IDW as a media source, which is the comic that is being fandubbed.
- "Sonic vs Neo Metal Sonic" (primary trope Know When to Fold 'Em) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a secondary media source, it already has ComicBook.Sonic The Hedgehog IDW as a media source, which is the comic that is being fandubbed.
- "Sonic Meets Tangle" (primary trope Casual Danger Dialogue) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog and ComicBook.Sonic The Hedgehog IDW as secondary media sources, as it already has WebAnimation.Sonic Rebound, which is a fan animated adaptation of the comic book. If it's a fan made animation, then likely also remove it from the recap page it's linked to as well, Recap.Sonic The Hedgehog IDW Fallout Arc, since it's not official.
- "Rouge Tricks Skunk Bros." (primary trope "Scooby-Doo" Hoax) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a secondary media source, it already has ComicBook.Sonic The Hedgehog IDW as a media source, which is the comic that is being fandubbed.
- "Sonic X English Intro" (primary trope Title Theme Tune) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a secondary media source, it already has Anime.Sonic X as a media source, but I wonder if this falls under copyright concern, as it is the entire intro video, which is on TMS Entertainment's official youtube channel
.
- "Hyper Metal Sonic" (primary trope Robot Me) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a secondary media source, it already has Anime.Sonic The Hedgehog The Movie as a primary media source.
- "Holiday specials lampshaded" (primary trope Lampshade Hanging) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a secondary media source, as it already has Sonic Stop Motion Adventures as its fan made media source. Speaking of, change the media source of WebVideo.Sonic Stop Motion Adventures to WebAnimation.Sonic Stop Motion Adventures.
- "by an eleven year old" (primary trope Aside Glance) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a secondary media source, as it already has Sonic Stop Motion Adventures as its fan made media source. Change the media source of WebVideo.Sonic Stop Motion Adventures to WebAnimation.Sonic Stop Motion Adventures.
- "Oops. One Too Many." (primary trope Medium Blending) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a secondary media source, as it already has WesternAnimation.Sonic Boom as the primary media source. Also remove Creator.Roger Craig Smith, as, while I am quite sure that is Smith in the video at the last segment, it doesn't discuss his career or is about Roger's work specifically.
- "Classic Sonic" (primary trope Silent Snarker) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog and VideoGame.Sonic Mania as secondary media sources, as WebAnimation.Sonic Mania Adventures is the primary footage source.
- "Strange, isn't it?" (primary trope Signature Scene) — is a YMMV trope, but doesn't have an audience reaction in the video itself, it just plays the scene verbatim and the description just says how it's the most iconic scene. Change primary trope to "Not So Different" Remark. Rewrite description as "Sonic lampshades during his fight against Metal Sonic that even though Metal Sonic is a robot, it is capable of having the same interests and personality of Sonic himself." Remove the Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a media source and keep the primary one of Anime.Sonic The Hedgehog The Movie
- "Sonic [World Breaks Apart]" (primary trope The End of the World as We Know It) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a secondary media source, it already has ComicBook.Sonic The Hedgehog Archie Comics as a media source, which is the comic that is being fandubbed. Add Recap.Sonic The Hedgehog Archie Comics Countdown To Chaos, as the video depicts a moment from this comic book arc.
- "Mean Bean Boss Battle" (primary trope Unexpected Gameplay Change) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a media source, as it already has VideoGame.Sonic Mania as primary media source.
- "Sonic the Hedgehog 2022" (primary trope Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a secondary media source, it already has WebVideo.Honest Trailers (primary video source) and Film.Sonic The Hedgehog 22022 (the movie it is commentating/parodying a trailer for) as primary media sources.
- "The Return of Sally Acorn" (primary trope Earn Your Happy Ending) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a secondary media source, as it already has Webcomic.Archie Sonic Online, which is a fan continuation of the Archie comic book, and is the comic that is being fandubbed.
- "Sonic Sez: Lovesick Sonic" (primary trope Too Smart for Strangers) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a secondary media source, as it already has WesternAnimation.Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog as a primary media source.
- "Mephiles' Temptation" (primary trope We Can Rule Together) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a secondary media source, as it already has VideoGame.Sonic The Hedgehog 2006 as a primary media source.
- "Sonic and Chili Dogs" (primary trope Trademark Favorite Food) — Does this one need to remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a secondary media source, as it already links all the media sources that are used in the footage that Game Theory is commenting on?
- "Metal Sonic's Overdrive" (primary trope Villainous RRoD) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a secondary media source, as it already has VideoGame.Sonic Generations as a primary media source.
- "Sonic Says "$#!&"" (primary trope Foreign Cuss Word) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a secondary media source, it already has Anime.Sonic X as a media source.
- "Sonic X" (primary trope Anime Theme Song) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a secondary media source, it already has Anime.Sonic X as a media source, but also the same concern I had above with the Gotta Go Fast English opening example, as TMS also uploaded the opening
.
- "Perfect Chaos And Super Sonic" (primary trope No Power, No Color) — Remove Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a secondary media source, it already has VideoGame.Sonic Adventure as a media source. Add secondary trope Golden Super Mode, as Sonic transforms from his normal blue fur to golden yellow after using the Chaos Emeralds.

The machinima in question is In the Beginning (hence the video's name), and Herobrine is an approved example there. I'll remove Minecraft as a media source and add the video to Videos Without a Source.
Then I'll get to the other pending requests.
135 -> 180 -> 273 -> 191 -> 188 -> 230 -> 300 -> 311The video "Psychological Trauma" in What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? should have the following tropes removed due to being indexes:
Currently semi-active.![]()

For "Strange Isn't It?", I think it should be "Not So Different" Remark as it's primary Trope instead of Signature Scene because Sonic is facing off against Metal Sonic. Change the description to:
"Sonic lampshades during his fight against Metal Sonic that even though Metal Sonic is a robot, it is capable of having the same interests and personality of Sonic himself."
Would be the better option instead of deleting.

that works. if keeping the video, just remove the Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog as a media source and keep the primary one of Anime.Sonic The Hedgehog The Movie
Sigh... I already removed the video because I didn't see the latest posts (and I admit that the whole ordeal broke me from the inside). I also can't find the video anymore, so it was likely deleted from the servers.
Anyway, I think I did everything. Please make me know if I missed something.
135 -> 180 -> 273 -> 191 -> 188 -> 230 -> 300 -> 311In "Romina and Julia Censorship" (Bowdlerise), please remove the tropes, Anime and Manga of the 1970s (an index trope) and What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? (since the video doesn't point out as to why - I think I remember mentioning about this a while back when I first suggested changes to this video but was never removed).
Edited by RuckusHearts on Nov 5th 2024 at 7:59:09 AM
Currently semi-active.In "The Fork" (Does This Remind You of Anything?), please remove media sources Cartoon Network, Discovery Family, Discovery Family, and The WB (since there's no need to add the companies in this video); as well as the tropes Values Dissonance and What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? (like the video above, the video doesn't point this out).
Currently semi-active.Please remove TabletopGame.Cyberpunk as a source for the VideoGame.Cyberpunk 2077 video "Second Chances".
Trope Editor (he/him)On Deadpool 2:
- For the video "Deadpool meets Juggernau" (example of Admiring the Abomination):
- The video title is incomplete, missing the final T. Please correct it to "Deadpool meets Juggernaut"
- Please add Neck Lift as a secondary trope. Juggernaut lifts Deadpool by the neck while saying he's going to rip him in half... and then he proceeds to do so.
Thanks in advance.

Vicky gets big hips (Hartman Hips): Can you transfer this video from Hartman Hips to Impossible Hourglass Figure since the former trope is now disambiguated? Vicky does have that narrow waist and wide hip-like shape.
On the Invincible (2021) video Agent Spider could you please add Spider-Man Send-Up since Agent Spider is based on Spider Man.
Also on the My Hero Academia video Shigaraki ruins Overhaul could you also add Hypocrisy Callout since Shigaraki called out Overhaul on hypocrisy over destroying Quirks even though he has one himself.
Another franchise wick cleaning/tweaking, this time for Franchise.Super Mario Bros or VideoExamples.Super Mario Bros:
- Peach's Special Moves - Mario Power Tennis (primary trope Heart Beat-Down): remove Franchise.Super Mario Bros as a media source. It already has VideoGame.Mario Power Tennis as a primary media source. However, that is also a re-direct for VideoGame.Mario Tennis as well, if that also needs to be changed.
- Parental Controls (primary trope Breath Weapon): has a non-indicative title and has a similar title to Parental Controls (primary trope Imagine Spot). Change the Breath Weapon video to "Bowser's Fiery Breath" and the Imagine Spot video to "Bowser Disciplining Jr."
- Star ledge grab softlock and Star ledge grab softlock 2 (both primary trope Game-Breaking Bug): Remove Franchise.Super Mario Bros as a media source, they already have VideoGame.Super Mario 64 (footage source) and WebVideo.Pannenkoek 2012 (the video was made by this You Tuber) as primary media sources.
- Goomba Stomp (primary trope Goomba Stomp): remove Franchise.Super Mario Bros as a media source, it already has VideoGame.Super Mario Bros 1 as its primary media source.
- Turtle-tipping in World 3-1 (primary trope Infinite 1-Ups): remove Franchise.Super Mario Bros as a media source, it already has VideoGame.Super Mario Bros 1 as its primary media source.
- Troper namer (primary trope Your Princess Is in Another Castle!): Remove Franchise.Super Mario Bros and Franchise.Super Mario (a redirect to the former) as a media source, it already has VideoGame.Super Mario Bros 1 as its primary media source. Retitle the video as "The Trope Name is Elsewhere" (a play on the trope naming title and the trope itself that could fit within the limit)
- Mario's old voice (primary trope Vocal Evolution): doesn't show the evolution of Mario's voice, only shows the old one. It also shows a still picture that isn't associated with any game.
- Do the Mario! (primary trope Dance Sensation): Remove Franchise.Super Mario Bros as a secondary media source, it already has Series.The Super Mario Bros Super Show as a primary media source
- Dry Bones (primary trope Reviving Enemy): remove Franchise.Super Mario Bros as a media source, as it already has VideoGame.Super Mario Galaxy as its primary media source.
- Monkey! and Devo Device (both with primary trope Devolution Device): Remove Franchise.Super Mario Bros as a secondary media source, as they both already have Film.Super Mario Bros 1993 as its primary media source.
- Super Mario Bros. Plumbing (primary trope Kitschy Local Commercial): remove Franchise.Super Mario Bros as a media source, as it already has WesternAnimation.The Super Mario Bros Movie as a primary media source. It also has the JustForFun.SMB Plumbing as a media source, which might be misplaced namespace sourcing? Don't remove this one until I get an answer of what page this is supposed to be.
- Until Next Time Everybody... (primary trope Every Episode Ending): Remove Franchise.Super Mario Bros as a secondary media source, it already has Series.The Super Mario Bros Super Show as a primary media source
- Down With Petey Piranha (primary trope Man-Eating Plant): remove Franchise.Super Mario as a media source, as it already has VideoGame.Super Mario Sunshine as a primary media source.
- "But What If She Says No?" (primary trope Stripped to the Bone): remove Franchise.Super Mario as a media source, as it already has WesternAnimation.The Super Mario Bros Movie as a primary media source.

In the Groin Attack video "Leo Destroys Ra's al Ghul", Ra's al Ghul has Leonardo at swordpoint, and starts monologuing about how the turtle never had a chance of defeating him, to which Leo responds by kicking Ra's al Ghul in the gonads and delivering a one-liner before incapacitating him with a pressure point attack. Accordingly, the tropes Caught Monologuing, Shut Up, Hannibal! and Talk to the Fist all apply, and should be added as secondary tropes.
In the Curb-Stomp Battle video "Deadpool vs Colossus", Deadpool tries to take on Colossus bare-handed, but his attacks, including a cheap shot to Colossus' crotch, do no damage to Colossus and only end up hurting Deadpool himself in such a ridiculous manner. The tropes Amusing Injuries and Balls of Steel both apply, and should be added as secondary tropes.
Trope Editor (he/him)The video "Anime In Latin America" in Bowdlerise looks like from a Youtube video, but the creator isn't mentioned in the description (which appears to be blank). Unless the creator has been mentioned, it should be removed.
Currently semi-active.

Done.
