The Deltarune source on “Spamton B. Spamton” under Stylistic Suck should be removed. The video is just a parody of Deltarune from WayneRadioTV.
For "Steamed Hams" ("Fawlty Towers" Plot), add Last Resort Takeout. Skinner purchases fast food and disguises it as his own cooking.
The video examples for Stop! Look! And Hasten! have several entries that are the exact same video. These being:
- "Burmese Tiger Trap" - Oh, Crap!
- "Tiger in the American West" - Misplaced Wildlife
- "Burmese Tiger Trap" - Exact Words
- "Stop! Look! And Hasten!" - Color Failure
- "Burmese Tiger Pit" - Exactly What It Says on the Tin
- "Burmese Tiger Pit" - Pit Trap
- "Burmese Tiger Pit" - Booby Trap
This translates to seven duplicates of the exact same video spread across different tropes. I believe they were uploaded before the "Secondary Tropes" section was a thing. But now that Secondary Tropes are a thing, this just looks messy.
Is there any way of merging these videos together under one Trope? I propose merging them under the Pit Trap Trope, with all the others listed being Secondary Tropes.

We can choose to be better.Tasha (Verbal Backspace): Can you add The Backyardigans S 3 E 8 Front Page News as a media source?
You guys forgot to deal with this one.
- Sasuke's cursed mark (Superpowered Evil Side): The video is outta sync.
We didn't forget. I just didn't get to process these requests in a batch yet. Also, I don't the out of syncness is bad enough to reject the video without a better replacement.
From the last page:
You can make a sandbox if you want but we don't need a placeholder for them. Unsourced videos isn't that big of a deal unless there's reason to suspect that the video is from a questionable source. Also,
Doing these requests now.

Macron's notesI already said that it's not bad enough to be rejected. If you can find a better version, feel free to upload it yourself.
Macron's notesThe Moment Killer video "Berdly to the 'Rescue'" should list Recap.Deltarune Chapter 2 A Cybers World as an additional source, since the scene comes from that specific part of the game.

Be kind."Reagan's Breakup" on Inside Job (2021): add Flashback Cut. It shows the characters in the present, cuts back to the past, then back to the present at the end.
It should be noted in the description of the "Q-Bot" clip under Fear of Thunder that Q-Bot mistakes the short circuit for lightning, so I'd slightly adjust the wording to say "Q-Bot freaks out over a short circuit, mistaking it for lightning."
""I do not squeal like a girl!"" under Screams Like a Little Girl should have Instantly Proven Wrong as a secondary trope; at the end, Chi-Fu does a high-pitched shriek right after claiming that he "does not squeal like a girl".
Oh, I believe in yesterdayThe Clue vid of the Singing Telegram girl (listed main example is Death as Comedy) should also have a secondary trope of having a Minsky Pickup.
The damned queen and the relentless knight.For Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, the videos "Seavolution" (two of them, examples of Freaky Electronic Music and Mind-Control Music) and "Instrument of Destruction" (example of Instrument of Murder) are identical.
I suggest removing the two "Seavolution" videos, keeping the "Instrument of Destruction" one (its description is a bit better), and adding Freaky Electronic Music and Mind-Control Music as secondary tropes to it.

Also for Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, the video "Count Dracula" is given as an example of Made of Iron.
Made of Iron doesn't apply for this case; it's for ordinary characters surviving abnormal amount of punishment. Dracula is an immortal vampire and is plain ignoring the lethal damage. The trope should be changed to Super-Toughness (the example on the main page was already corrected that way).
On VideoExamples.Hunter The Parenting, the video "Kitten Chews Out Pyotr" should have Cowardice Callout added as a secondary trope, since the depicted “The Reason You Suck” Speech is almost entirely about Pyotr being a Dirty Coward
HAPPY HALLOWEEN FOR MARIAMachinima.Heavy Is Dead still has an example that needs moving to WebAnimation.Heavy Is Dead.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it."Where do you think we are?" in Dead All Along should also have Where Do You Think You Are? given how it's literally said almost verbatim and is an example in the latter's page.
The video "Davros' Virus" on Complete Monster should be moved to A God Am I, given that Complete Monster is a YMMV trope and the video doesn't actually showcase an audience reacting. The other Doctor Who video on there, "Swarm", should likewise be moved to Kick the Dog.
Be kind.Complete Monster isn’t an Audience Reaction—just a subjective trope. It can have video examples.
Speaking of Audience Reactions... “Inconsistent Narrator” under Interactive Narrator actually has Funny Moments as a source. It doesn’t show an audience reaction and reads as biased.

"They're Using Actors!" under Mouthscreen should have Synchro-Vox as a secondary trope because SpongeBob has a live-action mouth at the end of the video.
Oh, I believe in yesterday
