There are some pages whose images really don't portray their trope. Sometimes the image is a VisualPun or other joke. Sometimes it's a literal restatement of the title. Other times the trope is too {{NSFW}} to portray normally. Other times it's a trope involving plot or characterization that's hard to portray in a picture.
This doesn't refer to images that are poor quality, or which barely represent the trope. If the image is completely inaccurate, you should go [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/conversations.php?topic=images to the Image Pickin' forum]]. All the images here are deliberate examples.

* InvincibleHero: [[ComicStrip/TomTheDancingBug God-Man]] is a parody of overpowered heroes, not a straight example.
* LighterAndSofter: The real VideoGame/DiabloIII is a fairly dark game. This is a parody of the expectations of Creator/{{Blizzard}} fans.
* MarySueClassic: ''Webcomic/HeadTrip'' making fun of [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Bella Swan]].
* MeaninglessMeaningfulWords: Webcomic/HiImDaisy is mocking VideoGame/MetalGearSolid.
* SelfFanservice: An image mocking the phenomenon, not a straight example.
* StalkingIsLove: The comic panel comes from a parody of Literature/{{Twilight}}''.
* TooDumbToLive: The image comes from ''Film/ScaryMovie'', which mocks the cliches of horror movies, such as idiotic victims.

These images might have qualified at one point, but not another. It might be a case of SubvertedTrope, DependingOnTheWriter, or ZigzaggedTrope.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: While the [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory3 Sunnyside Daycare Center]] starts off as it played straight, the [[spoiler: ending makes it an actually happy place.]]
* LawfulGood: While the mainstream ComicBook/{{Superman}} usually fits this alignment, there are other versions that are more chaotic, and some that are [[VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs downright evil]].
* OmnicidalManiac: ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} has varying motivations. While in ComicBook/FinalCrisis he plays that straight, most of the time he just wants to remove free will or take over the universe.

[[folder:Other Examples]]
* ConvictionByCounterfactualClue: The picture is a reference to ''Literature/TwoMinuteMysteries'', where Daniel Sabot says that mules can't get pregnant. It has really nothing to do with the trope on its own.
* {{Dominatrix}}: A real picture of a dominatrix is way too NotSafeForWork, so we have a picture of the Usefulnotes/EntertainmentSoftwareRatingsBoard's M-rating.
* MarySue: Just a picture of a name button, not an actual Sue.
