Operators Are Standing By!" before the disclaimer in TropeCo/ForceFieldDoor; "Operators Are Standing By, and they won't give you the... cold shoulder!" as a {{pun}} in TropeCo/AnIceSuit; and "One ship size fits all! Operators Are Standing By!" in TropeCo/JollyRoger.

* ObviouslyEvil: These two images star Crägnuum Mundomarauder, a dark-colored cyborg skeleton with a SicklyGreenGlow (in the former image), [[SpikesOfVillainy spiked shoulders]] with skulls impaled through them, and is depicted destroying planets and incinerating people with green fire in the former image and whipping a person with a fiery, barbed whip to force them to write in the latter.
* OmnicidalManiac: The former image shows Crägnuum immolating a planet and its inhabitants after having done the same to several other planets.
* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: The latter image features Crägnuum whipping (or threatening to whip) someone to write many pages in stress.
* StrippedToTheBone: In the former image, the victims of Crägnuum's fire have been reduced to charred skeletons.

** This Very Wiki's standards for what is a trope and what ''isn't'' have changed considerably from when the wiki was founded. Since the late 2010s, quite a lot of tropes have been disambiguated or otherwise declared to not be a trope after all, including "character has a specific sexuality or gender identity", "character uses a certain weapon", and the appearance of specific animals in works (usually under the "Everything Is Better With..." style of naming). To give you an idea of how different things used to be, in 2009, there were individual trope pages for ''specific eye colours'' (not even rare cases such as SupernaturalGoldEyes, but ''common'' eye colours).
