Can someone please add the secondary tropes Big Eater and Too Hungry to Be Polite to the "Great Cheapskate Onizuka" video for Dine and Dash?

Temporary Bulk Change should be removed as a secondary trope from “Between the Lions” under Big Eater, as it is not an example of TBC.

I want to bring up a Asshole Victim video example titled "Bradford Buzzard" which is from DuckTales (2017), specifically for how its actually misuse of the trope. The trope is when an unlikable or unsympathetic person meets a terrible fate that wasn't their fault. That's where the victim part comes in. The problem here is that the character for which this video is named after isn't actually a Asshole Victim. For context the character is an antagonist who, in his pursuit of his ultimate goal, had ordered the capture of certain individuals who would eventually be disposed of, one of these individuals was a powerful sorceress and known villain. So once his plans are foiled, this sorceress turns him into a mindless bird. With all of this stated I think anyone would agree that he brought his unfortunate end on himself. So in other words, his horrible fate was his fault. This video clearly isn't an example of this trope as it unfortunately makes the common misuse mistake of focusing primarily on the asshole part while neglecting the victim part.

It is for these reasons that I request the video be taken down.

Also can the Legion of Doom secondary trope be taken off the League of Super Evil example?

I ask this because the trope is specifically about an alliance of villains gathering together to take out the hero. The League of Super Evil are just a supervillain team, which the clip itself displays. Being a supervillain team alone isn't enough count as a Legion of Doom.

In fact, all the videos on Temporary Bulk Change except “Wabbit Twouble (Big Chungus)” misunderstand what the trope isnote . The others besides that one should be moved to Balloon Belly (as much as I hate to conflate that page).

[down] Got it

[up][up] and [up][up][up] are done.

[up] Actually, there's nothing in the description of Temporary Bulk Change that says that the change has to be supernatural or magical in nature. The weight change only need to be temporary. I'll look into moving the videos to Balloon Belly though.

While trying to find if any discussion was made for videos about tropes that are popular for reasons other than the narrative ones, I noticed that there appears to be 7 different videos on Balloon Belly for one scene from Dora and Friends: Into the City! note . That seems like (one handed) overkill, only the first video (“Dragon Hooked on Marshmallows”) is needed.

The "Happy to Spend the Night" video on That Came Out Wrong should have Accidental Innuendo removed as a secondary source. The items are mutually exclusive and this seems to be an intentional innuendo on the creators' part.

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

Done to here.

I kept the "The Skinny on Parker" video on Temporary Bulk Change since I thought had just enough context to fit the trope.

Could the "Wall-E opening" video in WALL•E (the one illustrating Scenery Gorn) get After the End as a secondary trope?

The "Santa's Apology Video" clip from YouTuber Apology Parody has low-quality audio. Here's the original.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

[up][up] That's my upload. I noticed the quality issue as well, but that was actually the best take I got out of my recording. The app I use to get said recording isn't always... perfect. I did take it from the original video, so IDK where all the wonkiness keeps coming from.

No; I realize it's easier in a lot of cases but I've gotten into the habit of recording specific clips with Awesome Screenshot and editing those. I think I've tried to download the video directly once and had trouble doing it, plus I just find it easier to crop and clip the snippet I need rather than download the entire video and then find the clip I want, especially if the video is an entire movie or episode of a show. (Plus I just feel a bit icky with the copyright stuff)

So, long story short, I screen-record while watching it and edit the clip I choose, and if the audio is wonky I keep re-recording until a good take comes out.

I thought the YouTuber Apology Parody video was alright when I reviewed it. Yeah, the audio is little muffled but I don't think it's bad enough to delete or reject without a replacement.

Done to here otherwise.

FWIW, Awesome Screenshot won't record one clip I want so I'm searching for a way to download the video instead, and... yeah, there's a reason I haven't done it that way since the one time I tried.

Huh? No it's not. I used it just now.

  1. paste in youtube URL and press enter
  2. click 'get link'
  3. click 'download

(if that doesn't work for you, we should continue this in PM or one of the other video threads instead)
