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:
- Mention the video's name.
- If you want a trope added or removed from a video, please explain how the video fits/doesn't fit the trope or link to other discussions supporting your proposal.
- If you want the description changed, please write up a draft for the description.
- Videos that lack a media source go to Videos Without a Source and shouldn't be reported here. If a source has been found, feel free to submit a request for it to be added to the video.

Express Delivery: The Dragon Ball Super video is unscourced.
I have things to do and daddy issues to repress!- Autobots, Rock Out!: Final Attack Ride: Hibiki " is sourced to Kamen Rider please change to Kamen Rider.

VideoExamples.Little Big Planet: "SackBoy Refuses Vex" (We Can Rule Together) writes the former's name as a wikiword in both the title and description, when officially it's spelled "Sackboy". I'd like to request that Sackboy's name be fixed in both instances.
vaaaa...GINA! (Spit Take): can you please add King Of The Hill S 1 E 2 Square Peg as a media source?
Chet Elderson's Funeral: (The "Fun" in "Funeral") can you add King Of The Hill S 3 E 10 A Fire Fighting We Will Go as a media source?
- The "Antonia's Mardi Gras Gumbo" video from Hell's Kitchen should be moved from Cordon Bleugh Chef to Lethal Chef since it doesn't seem to be a cook combining ingredients in a bizarre way, just a dish that tastes very bad.
- In the description of the Dragon Ball Super video for Express Delivery, "Bulma's" is missing an apostrophe.
There are two identical video examples, both sourced to Jessica Jones (2015) and Jessica Jones S1E7 "AKA Top Shelf Perverts", one provided for Big Bad and one for Arc Villain. (Both are titled "Kilgrave".) There is also a third example (for Mood-Swinger) that is not the same video, but nonetheless shows the same scene, beginning five seconds after the other two videos start and with an additional 22 seconds at the end (this video is also titled "Kilgrave").
I think that the video for Mood-Swinger serves as the best example of the trope, and that the other two videos should be deleted. Big Bad and Arc Villain can be added as secondary tropes to the Mood-Swinger example, if necessary, but in my opinion, none of the videos satisfactorily depict those two tropes. (I'd even say that video examples can't really illustrate tropes like Big Bad, unless they're something like Overly Sarcastic Productions which actually discusses the trope — almost all video examples for such tropes that I've seen are the audiovisual equivalent of Just a Face and a Caption.)

Trope Editor (he/him)Family Guy has a lot of redundant video examples. In no particular order:
- "Chris and Meg vs cafeteria" for Mook Chivalry is just a shorter version of "It was a joke." for Brother–Sister Team and No-Holds-Barred Beatdown. The former should be deleted and Mook Chivalry added as a secondary trope for "It was a joke."
- "Family Guy - Peter hurts his knee" for Overly Long Gag is just a longer version of "Peter Hurts His Knee", for the same trope. The former should be deleted.
- "A Wonderful Day For Pie" for Disneyesque is just a shorter version of "Family Guy" for Disneyfication. However, Disneyfication is not applicable to either trope (I suspect whoever uploaded it confused the trope with the similar-sounding Disneyesque), so the latter example should be deleted.
- "Brian snaps." for “The Reason You Suck” Speech is identical to "Calling out the 'protesters'" for Shaming the Mob. The former should be deleted and “The Reason You Suck” Speech added as a secondary trope for the latter. In addition, Family Guy S 16 E 6 The D In Apartment 23 should be added as a source.
- "Lois berates Peter for “The Reason You Suck” Speech is identical to "Lois Berates Peter" (all words capitalized) for Shameful Shrinking. The former should be deleted and “The Reason You Suck” Speech added as a secondary trope for the latter. In addition, Family Guy S 19 E 3 Boys And Squirrels should be added as a source.
- "Family Guy has been cancelled" for Un-Canceled is near identical to "All the shows cancelled by Fox" for Long List. The former should be deleted and Un-Canceled added as a secondary trope for the latter. In addition, the latter video should have Family Guy S 4 E 1 North By North Quahog added as a source.
- "Godfather Debate" for Seinfeldian Conversation is identical to "Peter and The Godfather" for Complaining About People Not Liking the Show. The former should be deleted and Seinfeldian Conversation added as a secondary trope for the latter. In addition, the latter video should have Family Guy S4E27: "The Griffin Family History" added as a source.
- "He's Not Alright" for Surprisingly Realistic Outcome, "Caddy-Guy" for Shout-Out, and "Peter kills the Gopher" for What the Hell, Hero? are all identical. The latter two should be deleted, and Shout-Out and What the Hell, Hero? should be added as secondary tropes for "He's Not Alright".
- "Lois as Marge Simpson" for Biting-the-Hand Humor is identical to "The Simpsons/SNL" for Take That!. The former should be deleted and Biting-the-Hand Humor added as a secondary trope for the latter.
- Cleveland's Slow Speech" for The Reveal is identical to "Cleveland the auctioneer" for Motor Mouth. The former should be deleted and The Reveal added as a secondary trope for the latter.
- "Pea Tear Griffin" for Real Name as an Alias is identical to "Pea Tear Griffin" for Line-of-Sight Alias. The former should be deleted and Real Name as an Alias added as a secondary trope for the latter.
- "Lois" for Oh, Crap! is identical to "Oh, Shaving Cream!" for Gosh Dang It to Heck!. The former should be deleted and Oh, Crap! added as a secondary trope for the latter.
- "Family Guy" for Surprisingly Realistic Outcome is just a shorter version of "Family Guy" for Pooled Funds. The former should be deleted and Surprisingly Realistic Outcome added as a secondary trope for the latter.
- "Peter and Lois doing it" for Bait-and-Switch is identical to "Peter and Lois having sex" for Rule of Three. The former should be deleted and Bait-and-Switch added as a secondary trope for the latter.
- "Carl is Archer" for Actor Allusion is identical to "Carl Archer" for Shout-Out. The former should be deleted and Actor Allusion added as a secondary trope for the latter.
"Jafar's Destruction" under Soul Jar has a KimCartoon logo in the top left corner during the second portion of the video, as well as a weird quality shift in the middle.
Number 1 CGI Fireman Sam defenderThe oldest three video examples for My Little Pony 'n Friends should have as their secondary/specific source My Little Pony 'n Friends E24: "Bright Lights 4".
All the videos on Dennis the Menace are from the other Dennis the Menace. The cartoon for the UK version lacks a page, so they should just be sourced to the comic strip page.

All the videos on Topless From The Back should be changed/moved to Main/ToplessnessFromTheBack as the former is a redirect.
All the videos on Trope Namer should have their secondary source changed to Main/TropeNamers as the former is a redirect.

Assuming the "Jafar's Destruction" video even stays, it lists The Return of the King as a media source. That should be Aladdin: The Return of Jafar.
Big Jade vs Dark Chi Enforcers (Curb-Stomp Battle): can you add Jackie Chan Adventures S 3 E 11 Little Valmont Big Jade as a media source and Giant Foot of Stomping as a secondary trope?
The video "Howard's Booger Story" for Jackhammered Conversation is sourced to WesternAnimation.Randy Cunningham9th Grade Ninja, which is a redirect to Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja — as a result, it doesn't appear among the work's video examples. The source needs to be replaced with the proper spelling.
Trope Editor (he/him)VideoGame.Xenoblade Chronicles is a recently created series page, and thus is missing as a source on several videos. Please, can you change it.
VideoGame.Xenoblade Chronicles 2:
- "SSBU: Pyra and Mythra" should have VideoGame.Xenoblade Chronicles as a secondary source:
- All following videos should have VideoGame.Xenoblade Chronicles as a primary source:
- "Jin's True Form":
- "Nia's Wanted Poster"
- "Rex talks to his parents"
- "Rrrrrrrrrrosa!" - Also "ArcVillain" wikiword in description should be separated.
VideoGame.Xenoblade Chronicles 1:
- Likewise, the video should have VideoGame.Xenoblade Chronicles as a primary source:
- "Xenoblade Chronicles" - Also should be renamed into "Unique Monsters", as now it's just the game's name.
VideoGame.Xenoblade Chronicles:
- This video originally was linked to the first game's page, so now it should have VideoGame.Xenoblade Chronicles 1 as a secondary source:
- "SSBU: Mythra/Pyra VS Shulk"
Thanks in advance.
Guess people have forgotten how fair use works again, because we've got Pro ZD's entire video uploaded to Obviously Evil as "The Obviously Evil Guy".
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.Working on these now...
Well, yes, I am working on all the requests that haven't been done yet.
Anyways, done to here.
