Please make the following edits:
- Add the secondary trope Bear Trap to the "Robyn & Mebh" video from the Karmic Transformation page. In the video, Mebh drops a glass bottle on one of these, making the trap close on it.
- Add the secondary trope Climactic Volcano Backdrop to the "You were the Chosen One!" video from the Thread of Prophecy, Severed page. The page's image is from the same scene, where Anakin fights Obi-Wan against a backdrop of lava during the climax of the film.
- Add the secondary trope Electric Love to the "WALL-E and EVE" video from the Robo Romance page. In the video, a literal spark of electricity passes between WALL-E and EVE, making WALL-E swoon.
- Add the secondary trope Giant Foot of Stomping to the "The Liberty Bell" video from the Real Song Theme Tune page. In the video, a banner with the show's title is crushed by a giant foot.
- Add the secondary trope Latin Lover to the "Testing the Limits" video from the Mr. Imagination page. In the video, Cheryl jokingly suggests that her "Latin lover" recited verse to her this weekend, which inspires Walter Mitty to imagine that he is her Latin lover and she is flirting with him.
- Add the secondary trope Pixellation to the "How to Draw with Tenacious D" video from the Bob Ross Rib page. In the video, a seemingly nude Kyle Gass has his lower body pixelated.
- Add the secondary trope P.O.V. Cam to the "Robyn becomes a Wolfwalker" video from the Karmic Transformation page. In the video, some shots are from Robyn's perspective to show the scents that she alone can see.
- Add the secondary trope Rule of Symbolism to the "The Simpsons Movie" video from the Taped-Over Turmoil page. In the video, a heart-shaped block of ice breaks off from a hill, sending Homer into the water. The block of ice then breaks in half, representing Homer's heartbreak but making it harder for the audience to suspend their disbelief.
- Add these secondary tropes to the "M&M's" video from the Faint in Shock page:
- Santa Claus: Santa is seen wearing his signature red hat and suit.
- Faeries Don't Believe in Humans, Either: The talking M&M's are shocked to discover that Santa Claus is real, and Santa Claus is also shocked, saying "They do exist..." before fainting.
""We quit."" from Take This Job and Shove It should have Bait-and-Switch Compassion and Jerk with a Heart of Jerk since the agent seems to feel bad for Penny, only to say they could get famous from it. Then at the end, Penny's mother becomes a Mama Bear doubled with Tranquil Fury when she throws him out of the ambulance without raising her voice once.
Oh, I believe in yesterdayFor the entries on VideoExamples.Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone, please change the source from Film.Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone to Film.Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone 2001.
Done to here, apart from a couple of F Sharp's requests:
- "Robyn & Mebh" doesn't appear to exist. You sure that's the right primary trope? ETA: Found it, it was on Tomboy and Girly Girl.
- Failing to see how Homer's Imagine Spot being self-indulgent is Rule of Symbolism.

Trust me, I'm an engineer!Ron Howard and Ronnie (Screw Yourself): Can you add Mary Shelley's Frankenhole S1E7 "Ronny Ron Ronald" as a media source?
For "Sentinel betrays the Primes" on Transformers One (for the trope Complete Monster), "Cybertron" is misspelled as "Cybertorn". Please change it to the correct spelling.
Corrupt Cop redirects to Dirty Cop. For the Complete Monster video "Officer Tenpenny", please replace the secondary trope Corrupt Cop with Dirty Cop.
Trope Editor (he/him)- Some Peanuts related stuff:
- "The World-Famous Novelist" (It Was a Dark and Stormy Night): please remove the media source Characters.Peanuts Main Characters as character pages shouldn't be a media source.
- "The Peanuts Movie" (Painted CGI): please add Who Writes This Crap!? as a secondary trope. In the video, Lucy criticizes Snoopy's writing.
- The clip "Mei's friends" in Establishing Character Moment also appears in "Turning Red" in Painted CGI. I suggest to keep the Painted CGI because it's longer and it also brings up Mei's Establishing Character Moment as well. Establishing Character Moment, as well as Freeze-Frame Introduction (which is listed as a secondary trope in the former video) can be added in as secondary tropes. Also please add Breaking the Fourth Wall as well since Mei talks to the audience.
- For the video "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Ve" in Painted CGI, please rename as "Into the Spider-Verse" to fit the character limit.

Currently semi-active."Fairies space." for Brick Joke: please add Schmuck Bait as a secondary example since it was secretly set up by Mr. Crocker to lure Cosmo and Wanda into a trap; Timmy immediately saw through it and steered the car away.
Schmuck Bait is going to be renamed soon, so let's wait until it happens (otherwise, I'd have to go back to the video for a second time eventually XD).
135 -> 180 -> 273 -> 191 -> 188 -> 230 -> 300 -> 311For the following videos, please change the media source from Alternate History Hub to Pointless Hub (since the latter is the series where the videos come from):
- "Cemetery Wind" (for Van Helsing Hate Crimes)
- "Transformers" (for Stillborn Franchise)
- "Decepticons" (for Karma Houdini)
- "The Zombie Era" (for Zombie Stories)
"Reborn!" on Ding-Dong-Ditch Distraction has the KissAnime watermark.
Also requesting that the media sources on VideoExamples.Akira be changed to Manga.Akira.
Your receipt. You can keep the freakin' change.- Super Mario Bros. Plumbing (primary trope Kitschy Local Commercial): remove JustForFun.SMB Plumbing as a media source, as the page is being cut
and its contents were merged with WesternAnimation.The Super Mario Bros Movie
- Sonic Rebound [Vs. Skunk Bros] (primary trope Bash Brothers): remove ComicBook.Sonic The Hedgehog IDW and Recap.Sonic The Hedgehog IDW Fallout Arc as media sources, as WebAnimation.Sonic Rebound is the primary media source, and is a fan animated adaptation of the prior two media sources and is not official.

The Troll video example "Solf J. Kimblee" is a duplicate of another of the trope's video examples, "Kimblee's Parole". The former video should be deleted.
