(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EDIT: Chopped the list because it's now quite outdated, and there are some comments in here that only made sense back in 2009 and may have even been a bit creepy.

I've been hit on twice, first by a scuzzy hippy dude who told me I was "shy and sweet", the second by a drunk girl who offered to [REDACTED] me the first day of my old job. I told her no.

Oh for the love of... -_-
Eh. Self-blindness never ceases to amuse me.
I never get hit on, this does not surprise me in the least.
[1] This facsimile operated in part by synAC.Let's see, if we don't count the weirdness that is high school, I've been hit on by a large 54-year-old Scotsman. And mind you, this was over two years ago, so I looked like I was 16 or 17 at the time.
I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.As a matter of fact, I did, Lucky. It's Mako's rapeface!
I only get hit on by people who are way too old to be hitting on me, but then again I look older than I am.
You're looking for this person.I'm not that surprised I don't get hit on. I mean, look at my face! Look at it!
Planescape Hijack
So you really like the ending of Oedipus Rex, then?
Productivity is for people without internet connections. -Count DorkuOddly, I hardly ever get hit on IRL, though when I was in the psych ward in 2001, one of the other patients gave me her phone number. I figured pursuing that would be a bad idea.

AOD certainly gets himself into my books as one of my favourite tropers. Bitingly funny and with little tolerance for stupidity or ignorance, he remains far too thoughtful and calculating to be a troll and instead serves as a useful commentator on the blind complacency which can pervade fora opinion-holders. When he's taking a potshot at moe or raging against Fan Dumb, you know it's always for a greater good and will contribute to our community. Hooray for AOD, sweary ninja for hire!
an heroic gesture would do the world goodI'd probably blow it off. I've probably blown it off.
"I can't imagine what Hell will have in store, but I know when I'm there, I won't wander anymore."Why do people hit on me left and right when I'm obviously less attractive than Afghan and probably less than Miijhal? Is it because of the crowd I hang out with (my dad is in a punk band, remember) or just because I give off that attractive "helpless female" vibe? Or because I wear makeup? (well, I paint my face with watercolors)
