I am confused that "What happened in Budapest" from the Avengers movies is not included. Should we?
As Galaxyspinner pointed out 5 years ago, the examples cover an extremely broad range of "Noodliness". There is a huge difference between "Calvin got in trouble...with noodle(s)...somehow", which is extremely mysterious and open-ended, and "Egon Spengler tried drilling a hole through his head, and Venkman stopped him", which pretty much speaks for itself.
Perhaps the trope definition should be restricted, or at least made clear that there are distinct degress of the trope. It would be nice to be able to browse ACTUAL Noodle Incidents, without having to screen out the endless variations of "Black Widow and Hawkeye were on a mission in Somalia that did not involve aliens, but since we didn't hear the entire mission report it's a noodle incident".
How sweet it is
Texts From Last Night appears in both the Web Original and Real Life pages. In which page does it belong?

Hm, I'd go with Web Original since it's not documented by reliable sources, but it doesn't really matter.
I keep trying to upload an image of the "The Day a Policeman Came to My Soccer Game" bit from the Simpsons episode "See Homer Run" (for use as the image on this page), but it won't let me because it's too wide. Could someone upload an appropiately-sized version of that image and put it on the page?

The Gunnerkrigg comic used on this page is unfunny. Wouldn't a Calvin & Hobbes pic be more appropriate?

See Image Pickin if you have a suggestion for a replacement image. this might be helpful
It appears that in some reorganization, the Newspaper Comics section was deleted. Meaning that the actual Trope Namer from Calvin And Hobbes is no longer present, thus making the Trope Namer something of a Noodle Incident within the page.

Oh, the irony!

Based on how this trope is defined, I think somebody should go through the examples given and start hacking out the fat with a broad-bladed cleaver. The page defines this concept as something that is often referred to with an implication that it is too absurd to explain, but it would seem that most of the examples given are simply one-time incidents that we don't get the whole story on.
What about
Morbo: "…and that's why the third graders at PS 139 are Morbo's Vermin of the Week."
from the Futurama episode 'Mother's Day'?
I'm looking to add a scene from the recent Sonic the Hedgehog Takeover questionnaire in which Tails says they've barred Knuckles from the internet after "the incident". Would that go under Video Games or something else, considering it's not in an actual video game?
Should I be asking here, anyway? First-time contributor.
