I'll proceed to do these right now, but afterwards I'll call it a day. I have to start crosswicking examples to my next targeted page, and I already lost a lot of time due to some very difficult RL factors.

EDIT: Ruckus, Starfish Alien is a redirect to Starfish Aliens. I had to edit the profile of the Monty Pythin video twice for that reason. For future reference, please double-check the items you want to add to existing videos.

Oh okay. It's a lot and I wrote all of that on mobile which can be tricky to write so it's easy to miss stuff.

Speaking of stuff I missed, "One Track Lover" and "How Do You Like Me Now?" are two more Big-Lipped Alligator Moment videos to remove as they don't show an audience reaction and couldn't find an alternate trope to replace them with.

Also turns out that "Witchfinder General vs. Klaus" video that was moved from BLAM to Hollywood Exorcism is a duplicate of the another video of the same name also under Hollywood Exorcism. Remove the earlier one as the one that was moved is longer.

The only example on VideoExamples.Artistic License Religion seems to be more accurately an example of Sadly Mythtaken.

[up]The video discusses about Classical Mythology which doesn't really fall under religion (at least in modern terms).

Also looking at the description shows this:

As Percy Jackson Film implies that children of The Big Three are rare, Krimson Rogue shows that Hollywood didn't seem to remember that The ruler of Mount Olympus was a God that had fathered too many children among both Gods, Mortals, and Monsters alike.

The current description doesn't exactly mention the fact that the film was based on a book (also, probably just a personal gripe as someone who does know about the books, the video kinda lacks in context of what the "Big Three" quote actually meant so it's kinda hard to describe the video without that context).

Possibly rewrite it to this:

As the Percy Jackson film implies that children of The Big Three are rare, Krimson Rogue shows that unlike the book, the film didn't seem to point out that the ruler of Mount Olympus was a God that had fathered too many children among both Gods, Mortals, and Monsters alike.

For the video, "Mickey Mousing: The Movie", please do the following:

  • Please rename to "Egyptian Reggae", the video is a little too short to show how the movie does this.
  • There's a bit of gushing in the description:
Edgar Wright's 2017 masterpiece Baby Driver was choreographed to the soundtrack throughout the movie, like this scene set to "Egyptian Reggae" by Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers.
Please rewrite to this:
Baby's movements are choreographed to "Egyptian Reggae" by Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers.

Please add "end of Emperor Belos" (Undignified Death) to Post-Climax Confrontation since it's Luz and Belos facing one last time before the former's death after he's already defeated. Also please add "the Death of Snatcher (Karmic Death) to "Pop!" Goes the Human since that's how he dies.

May I request the Motive Rant example called “Senator Armstrong” be removed and the trope be added as a secondary one in the Magnificent Bastard example called “Senator Armstrong”, because two video examples are 95% identical and the latter trope is more fitting for the video in my opinion

For the video "Like a Surgeon's Heartbeat" with the primary trope Heartbeat Soundtrack, and the media source "Weird Al" Yankovic, please add Percussive Maintenance as a secondary trope, as Al tries to fix a flatline by pounding on the heart monitor, before realizing that the problem is actually with the patient, and solving it by pounding on the patient's chest.

The Lilo & Stitch (2002) video "Here, educate yourself" under Protected by a Child should have Plasma Cannon as a secondary because Jumba attempted to fire one, only to be stopped by Pleakley.

Video: “Crispy’s Sundae Challenge”, Big City Greens, Big City Greens S 2 E 11

Main Trope: Mega Meal Challenge

Additional Trope Suggestions:

  • Brain Freeze: Tilly attempts to eat the ice cream fast, causing her to get a brain freeze and crash out.
  • Epic Fail: Within a minute, the whole family (minus Cricket in this scene) gives up on the challenge, after stuffing themselves with too much ice cream.
  • Five-Second Foreshadowing: Before the major reveal that Cricket is making the family eat a big sundae, he gives off a line warning about this.

Bill: What'd you order, son?

Cricket: Oh, just a... li'l ice cream.

Tilly: That sounds excellent, brother. I hope you enjoy it.

Cricket: Well, I hope we all enjoy it. [We're gonna have to.]

Bill: What do you mean by that?

Alice: THERE AIN’T A FROSTY TREAT IN THE WORLD, TOO TOUGH FOR ALICE GRE- (passes out on the table)
  • Simple Solution Won't Work and Out-Gambitted: After the family finds out about Cricket’s crazy plan to pay for dinner, Bill tries to pay the food himself, that’s until he finds out that Cricket swapped all of their money with “Cricket Bucks” in case any of them would back out.

The Cutting Back to Reality video "Meet the Pyro" shows part of the same footage as the Through the Eyes of Madness video "Pyroland". Since the latter video is longer and contains more examples of Cutting Back to Reality, I think "Meet the Pyro" should be deleted and Cutting Back to Reality added to "Pyroland" as a secondary trope.

Similarly, the More Dakka video "Use more gun." shows the same footage as the longer The Engineer video "Meet the Engineer". The former video should be deleted and More Dakka added to the latter video as a secondary trope. However, "Meet the Engineer" also has Tuxedo and Martini, Master of Disguise and Eye Scream as secondary tropes, despite the video not having any examples of these tropes; these should be removed.

Conversely, the Mad Doctor video "The Medic" is shorter than The Medic video "Meet the Medic", but it shows the essence of the Medic's personality and doesn't overlap with the short Glove Snap video "Meet The Medic". Thus, I think "Meet the Medic" (small 't') should be deleted, and The Medic and Herr Doktor added as secondary tropes to "The Medic".

Finally, WebAnimation.Team Fortress 2 should be added to "Pyroland" and "The Medic" as a media source, since both videos are of the official Valve-made machinima covered in that page.

Does it necessarily mean something bad if a video remains "awaiting review" for at least a whole day?

"Polly Plantar" (for the trope Cunning Linguist), has Characters.Amphibia Main Characters as a media source. Please remove that, since that's a character page.

[up][up]Stuff like this usually goes in the Video Uploading thread. In fact, the answer you seek is right there. I would just tell you here right away but I'm no mod or engineer and they do a better job describing it (and we've had this question asked plenty of times already).

Just as promised, I'll being processing the requests, minus Eddy's because it was already done by the uploader of the video in question.

The Senator Armstrong video tagged under Motive Rant is one year old, so I removed the more recent one (tagged under Magnificent Bastard) which was approved only three days ago (though I added MB to the other video as a secondary trope).

I didn't add the Jabba Table Manners and Out-Gambitted tropes to that Big City Greens video, as I felt their presence wasn't prominent enough even in comparison to other secondary tropes (besides, there's already a huge bloat of secondary tropes).

Before adding WebAnimation.Team Fortress 2 to those other videos, I had to remove VideoGame.Team Fortress 2 first as not doing so would have turned said videos into duplicates in VideoExamples.Team Fortress 2

Done to here otherwise. Please make me know if I missed something!
