Are there rules for creating Trope Co. pages? As in, if I see a trope and I can think of a Trope co. page for it, can I just make it?
Can I add Bishōnen to the catalog? I'm only seeing fanservicey stuff for guys on the list.

I think an addition to a article added to the Bag of Holding, is also Hyperspace Arsenel or something.

WHAT KIND OF PAGE IS THIS>?!?!!
p.s I have no idea
I got my political views from reddit and that's bad Hide / Show Replies
Seriously, an elaborate joke created Just For Fun. Imagine my disappointment when I realized that I couldn't actually order some of the items here...
I have this horrible temptation, which I am resisting for reasons of taste, to pothole "it is safe to conclude" to Insane Troll Logic.

They might also be Blatant Lies, if that's an acceptable substitute. ;)
No Robot Maid yet? Lets see if I can put that on catalog...

Insane Troll Logic Kit should be on here.
I could imagine it...

Haha, Trope Co is listed on the TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange) even though it's 90% probable the majority of Tropers are American? Also, I'm preeeeeeetty sure most market exchanges use ticker symbols of less than five characters.
Good show, gentlemen, good show.
Specialty: Laser Guided Spellchecks on blatant misspellings. No that's not a trope.
To elaborate: Most of Trope Co is a joke without a punchline. Parody commercials have a place, but that place isn’t in most of the articles listed. Writing Brain Bleach as an ad is kind of like writing I Know Kung Fu from the perspective of a caveman. It’s completely arbitrary.
When using parody narration, the narration itself should link to the topic at hand. Writing out advertisement tropes as advertisements makes sense, as does using gangsta music to rap about how White and Nerdy you are; In each case, the narrative device itself is part of the joke. Geddit?
Writing out random tropes as infomercials is just cheesy. And not in a So Bad, It's Good B-Movie kind of way, but in a desperate please-let-us-be-funny kind of way.
This Troper proposes a general re-write of Trope Co tropes and quite possibly the dismantling of the Trope Co corporate empire. For Great Justice.

I don't see the point of dismantling it. Some of us think it's funny, and those who don't don't have to read it.
Consequentialism: The belief that doing the right thing makes the world a better place. Check out the Felicifa forum for more about Utilitarianism and other Consequentialist ethical theories.
The point is to make improvements to the articles. You could argue "You don't have to read it" to any low-quality, unfunny post, but it'd still be nice to exchange this low-quality shit for some better shit.
It's like if Trope Co were bananas. Rotten, lame bananas that were all black and disgusting from thinking they were funny. Instead of letting them stink up the place, let's turn them into delicious banana bread.
I certainly don't think we should dismantle it. Improvements are of course never unwelcome, but removing it just because some people don't think it's funny is completely unnecessary.
Also, I see the point in writing them all as fake ads. It's as though TV Tropes is a catalogue of plot elements for writers. Sure, not all of them are written with that context in mind, but it still works. Its for the tropes as tropes, not as each in their individual context.
Sweet Goodness Be to the Lord in Heaven, I wish this were a real service!
In pages like TV Tropes Superhero Team and TV Tropes Supervillain Team, there are re-interpretations of media works in-context with the page. Can we do that here too?
I could totally picture an ad for staying the night at the House of Flying Daggers or something like that.
