The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
Ask a Stupid Question... for cases like the House of M example.
Sarcasm-Blind for when the person tries to answer the followup question.
I think the K D one is what I am looking for.
Thanks for answering.
For the Ask a Stupid Question... one, Is the House Of M quote suppose to be a Rhetorical Question, rather than a sarcastic one?
It's both rhetorical and sarcastic: There's no grand reason why the sky is blue, it's just an arbitrary result of diffusion scattering and atmospheric composition.
Hello
I am trying to think of this trope, where some one asks some thing like; "Why must this happen!?", and some one responds with some thing like "Who Knows?".
Case in point, in "House Of M", Layla asks why it must be her who must help restore reality to Normal, before Emma Frost responds; "Why is the Sky Blue?".
Then, there is another trope, where some one takes the question literally, and answers that with the scientific explanation as to why the Sky is blue.
Does any one Know if there are tropes with some thing like the above?
