I don't really understand how this is a trope. It's just saying what flipping the bird is and a list of people who've done it. It doesn't seem like a trope to me.

I was suprised to see the picture change. :(

Wasn't there a separate trope for the covert bird; hiding the middle finger with another gesture, ie innocuously scratching your nose with it?

Subjectively, there's a fine line between a Troll and someone who lives just to piss you off. Hide / Show Replies

If not, there should be. It's become a cliche and trope in of itself. Unless something else covers it.

JET73L: I just want to say, kudos to the troper that linked The Nostalgia Critic's two-fingered flipping the bird comment to Up To Eleven. I was expecting Beyond the Impossible, but whether the Stealth Pun was intentional or not, it would have resulted in a rare nasal Spit Take had I been drinking anything.
