Bad Trope Ideas

Go To

You know how a trope needs to be common enough to be a trend on multiple pieces of media, but also have enough meaning to affect the story in a way that defines it? Well, not on my watch, it doesn’t. Post the name and description, and maybe even some examples, of a trope you’d never want to see on this wiki. It can be People Sit On Chairs, Too Rare To Trope, The Same But More (Specific), or any other violation of wiki policy. It can even be YMMV or Trivia, too!

Also, no references to Mario Pissing or Gay—especially not the latter. If you do that, I will holler your post. Please be original.

Without further ado, let’s begin.


Toriyama Art Style: The work was drawn by Akira Toriyama or someone impersonating his art style.

Everything Is Alien Er With Aliens.

Depreciated naming scheme, redundant, and unclear meaning. A trifecta of perfection.
