(I'm not sure where this really belongs, so I'm putting it in YF for now. Mods, feel free to move it to Forum Games if you think it fits better there.)
The point of this thread is to list your favorite tropers and say what makes you like them so much. Please be specific; we already have Gushing About Shows You Like if you want to gush about TV Tropes or the Forums in general.
EDIT: Chopped the list because it's now quite outdated, and there are some comments in here that only made sense back in 2009 and may have even been a bit creepy.

Just so there's absolutely no confusion about the matter, Bobby is an alright dude.
READ THIS COMIC. | Read along as I play through my games collection!
Some people were calling Bobby G an allright dude. Some people were calling him an alright dude. Gotta get the number of "l"'s right.There can be only one L.

Never be without a Hat! Hot means heat. I don't care if your usage dates to 1300, it's my word, not yours. My Pm box is open.^^ Interesting, weisritter. Personally, most people I know pronounce "a lot" as two words, but pronounce "All right" as one. Probably merely a coincidence, though.
Personally, I think that a-lot and all-right are good compromises.

It's more situational when it comes to my personal use, though I admit that I don't pay much attention to how most other people use it, given how many people pronounce (and use) words incorrectly to begin with. Which is ironic, given that the current topic is my use of a perceived grammatical error.
Cynics are optimists that have become used to disappointment.There aren't nearly enough Ls or Is in "alright."
Should be "allllllriiiiiiiiight!" (exclamation point mandatory)
But soft! What rock through yonder window breaks? It is a brick! And Juliet is out cold.Time for me to make a list, because that's what the cool kids do. Or something.
- Black Dove- For generally being cool and putting up with my bullshit. Also the only person I've ever had a PM conversation with; I should probably start another when I'm not so busy.
- Midnight Velvet- For being whimsical, making me laugh, and giving me an amusing image of a giggling geriatric mad scientist for some reason. That's meant as a compliment.
- Weissritter- For being blunt.
- Aliroz The Confused- For being funny and nice and yet being a voice of reason.
- Nornagest- For making me feel dumb, and yet eager to learn more.
- Rifflet- For putting up with the bull I pile on her (that didn't come out right, eeewww) and being very amusing.
- Yarrunmace- Same as above.
- Noaqiyeum- For being eccentric and level headed at the same time.
- Electivirus- For being hilarious.
- Anonymous User-
- Sean Murray I-
- zam- For just being nice in general.
- Keybreak-
Yeah. Also comes across as a Chivalrous Pervert. I probably just read that damn Lust thread way too often.
- Endark Culi- For commenting on my LB and generally being supportive of my efforts. Also a pretty cool guy.
- Captain Napalm- For being fun to argue with and putting my wits to the test.
There are probably more that I have forgotten. Meh, might add some more later.

Full picture here.◊ Drawn by Saemus!

It would help if you did something awesome. People tend to gush about people who do stuff that they like.
