  • Exaggerated: Any and all tropes are subject to being lampshaded, even Omnipresent Tropes such as The Hero and The Antagonist.
  • Downplayed: "Tropers: the Series" doesn't necessarily lampshade tropes all too often, but they do often discuss and converse tropes.
  • Justified: The characters in "Tropers: the Series" are very Genre Savvy.
  • Inverted: ???
  • Subverted: The characters notice a trope occuring, but cannot put their finger on which one it it is...
  • Double Subverted: ... but then it hits them.
  • Parodied: No Fourth Wall
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: Lampshading is done very infrequently, if at all.
  • Enforced:
    • "Tropers: the Series" is a parody and/or deconstruction of its genre, making this somewhat expected.
    • "We need a way for the characters to act witty, what should we do?" "How about having them point out many of the story devices used?"
  • Lampshaded: "Wow... we sure do point out the tropes we use, don't we?"
