* ''Manga/MyMonsterSecret'': An OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent who CannotTellALie discovers that his class is full of unusual students -- a FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire (who he has a crush on), a [[{{Lilliputians}} Lilliputian]] HumanAlien in a MobileSuitHuman, a LovableSexManiac girl who's also a "[[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent wolfman]]", a IntrepidReporter whose glasses are possessed by a god of fortune, his own [[KidFromTheFuture Grandkid from the Future]], and more -- and it's his job to play SecretKeeper and CloudcuckoolandersMinder for every single one of them. HilarityEnsues. This series gets a lot of love because it [[AffectionateParody gleefully skewers]] the HaremGenre by [[PlayedForLaughs playing EVERY trope connected to it for laughs]] but never falls victim to its worst excesses; it also has a strong core of memorable and lovable characters and an overarching plot that switches between laughs, tears, and cheers flawlessly. And it actually busts one of the harem genre's biggest tropes: [[spoiler:The main couple gets together '''before''' the end of the series!]]

* Franchise/{{Lego}}'s ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}''- a DarkerAndEdgier, MerchandiseDriven ScienceFantasy series powered by RuleOfCool. It starts out with a bunch of {{cyborg}} {{Hobbits}} living in [[ElementalNation Elemental Tribes]] on a SchizoTech PatchworkMap Island being terrorized by a mysterious BigBad. Then a [[FiveManBand Six Man Band]] of heroes with [[MaskOfPower magic masks]] and ElementalPowers ([[PersonalityPowers that conveniently match their personalities]]) comes along to fight the [[MonsterOfTheWeek various beasties he sends after them]], before confronting the BigBad himself and learning about ThePowerOfFriendship. The series then starts deconstructing a lot of the tropes- it turns out [[AllMythsAreTrue the myths may not be entirely true]], that the SchizoTech is left over from an [[ApocalypseHow apocalypse]] [[LaserGuidedAmnesia no-one remembers]], and the impossible PatchworkMap island [[ThatsNoMoon may not be an island after all...]]
** In fact, if a trope page has a "Toy" subcategory, odds are it's because of this particular franchise. [[SelfDemonstratingArticle Often, Bionicle is the only example in its category.]]

*if you want an independent film with plenty of animal fantasy tropes, with plenty of death tropes, then WebAnimation/WolfSongTheMovie is the film for you. Although most tropes here are PlayedStraight, it does occasionally play them otherwise and it isn't always for comedic effect.

* VideoGame/MSSagaANewDawn can be considered "Gundam Tropes: The Game". The game is a boiler-plate traditional JRPG structured out of the numerous tropes commonly utilized by the entire Gundam franchise, to the point anybody remotely familiar with said franchise can easily predict the plot and gameplay at any given moment.

Added DiffLines:

* ''ComicBook/AquamanSwordOfAtlantis'' sets up its HighFantasy premise very much like an RPG, with Arthur getting powers he doesn't understand from a mysterious mentor after his 'hometown' was destroyed, but his father may still be alive. He proves himself by fighting some low-level enemies that gains, him an ally, he meets the former ruler of a vast kingdom who asks for his help, challenges a rival early, and nearly has a HopelessBossFight before a HeroicSecondWind. The second half of the series shifted genres to more traditional superhero fare, which had its own set of related tropes, acting like the second half of an RPG that shifts to science fiction.

* ''Anime/{{Heroman}}'' seems to be turning out this way, especially if you know Creator/StanLee. The story so far is your generic KidHero-recieves-giant-robot-by-fate storyline. The hero has only one friend, and then there's a cheerleader LoveInterest, two {{Mad Scientist}}s, a HotTeacher, and TheGovernment who are stereotypically evil and care only about their country's interests. There's more when you throw in a MissingMom and DisappearedDad combo, [[AlwaysChaoticEvil aliens who have no complex motives]] for world conquest, and the hero's [[LongLostRelative sister]] who's made her return to his life after some time away.

* ''Inma Youjo'' [[PlayedForDrama plays a lot of hentai cliches on the 80's and 90's for drama]], from tentacle rape to the cyborg girl that falls in love with her creator.

* ''Webcomic/{{Qxlkbh}}'' is heavy on tropes, given that it calls them out frequently, and mentions [[TVTropes us]] as well.
