Basic Trope: A random disco sequence that comes out of nowhere.
- Straight: A scene in "Tropers" features the main cast dancing to disco together. The scene has barely any plot relevance.
- Exaggerated: The scene features the entire cast of the series dancing to disco together, and is a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment since it has no plot relevance, it's completely bizarre, it comes out of nowhere, and is never mentioned again. Bonus points if it's an Overly Long Gag.
- Downplayed: The scene is a bit random, but does have some plot relevance and a possible justifiable reason.
- Justified:
- The characters are fans of disco music.
- The scene takes place inside of a club or similar area.
- It's part of a Dance Party Ending or other musical number.
- Inverted: ???
- Subverted: The characters seem like they're about to dance together, but decide not to.
- Double Subverted: A later scene shows them dancing.
- Parodied: The very first episode of "Tropers" consists entirely of the main cast dancing to disco for 22 minutes.
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted:
- There is no random disco sequence.
- The work takes place in a setting where disco is more relevant and would be expected, such as The '70s.
- Enforced:
- Can be Rule of Funny and/or Rule of Cool.
- The creator is a fan of disco music and wanted to include it.
- Alternatively, this is an Orphaned Reference or Mythology Gag to an earlier version of the work that involved disco as a main plot point.
- Lampshaded: "What was that? Why were we all dancing to disco together?"
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: "I wonder why some works feature those random disco scenes."
