History Website / TVTropes

* SuddenNameChange: This very wiki does it with changing names of trope pages all the time.

###[[invoked]]TheScrappy
###[[invoked]]TheChrisCarterEffect
###{{Flanderization}}
###CapcomSequelStagnation
###[[invoked]]XPacHeat
###[[invoked]]{{Macekre}}
###FoxNewsLiberal and its redirect, MSNBCConservative

I just move the two examples next to each other. Especially when the later one asks why this example hasn't been mentioned yet.\\\

* ThrownDownAWell: The Administrivia/PermanentRedLinkClub.

* BreakingTheFourthWall[=/=]LeaningOnTheFourthWall:

Of course, like any sizable work, we've collected our own fair share of {{trope}}s.

[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya We've entered an endless recursion of time.]]\\\

* PunnyName: Quite a few article titles.

* TheArtifact: The "deadpan" in DeadpanSnarker. Due to TropeDecay, a deadpan delivery is no longer part of the trope.

* MinorCrimeRevealsMajorPlot: I Eat Metaphor For Breakfast and WhatYearIsThis being sent to TRS → massive epidemic of TropeDecay involving stock phrases as trope names.

* AGoodNameForARockBand: RonTheDeathEater, according to SelfDemonstrating/RainbowDash.

** Also, from page to page, article-article-article-ADateWithRosiePalms-ColdBloodedTorture...

* BuffySpeak:
** TheThingThatGoesDoink.
** SwirlyEnergyThingy.

* TinfoilHat: A guy wearing a tinfoil hat used to be the symbol of the WildMassGuessing section.

** Also, the CaptainObvious page is about a trope which highlights easily discovered events that are pointed out to the audience, as if they had no clue what was going on. This trope is called "CaptainObvious" and it's on the website you're currently on called [=TVTropes=] (the url address is https://tvtropes.org/). On a side note, TV Tropes is a webpage which features articles about multiple tropes seen throughout many forms of media, such as literature, live-action T.V. shows, anime/manga, video games, comic books, and in several cases, even ''real life''!

* UnifiedNamingSystem: The Archive of Bellicose Lexicon Entities (TABLE, for short) factions follow the cutlery trend: JustForFun/{{SPOON}} vs JustForFun/{{FORKS}} vs JustForFun/{{KNIVES}} vs JustForFun/{{PLATTER}}. [[strike:I predict we will see a new contender trump them all and make PLATE.]] But then we'd have a LensmanArmsRace, with the creation of GLASS, TABLE, or even [-[=*gasp*=]-] ''KITCHEN!'' At which time DEN, BEDROOM, and ATTIC will make their appearance, followed by HOUSE (except that they're just fans of Hugh Laurie and only joined in the fight because it looked like fun). Well, if they can't stand the heat... Bah, they'll all be crushed to dirt once the Kombined Initialism Takeover Crusade Holistic Enforcement Network: Strike Insertion Neo-Kommando forces rise up.

** Uses of phrases like "our part of the world" and so on, especially when used to contrast with other cultures and nations, reveal the assumptions of the troper responsible. Usually involves WeAllLiveInAmerica or other Western perspective and neglects the existence of non-Western audiences or tropers.

* ButtMonkey: Did you ever add an example to this very wiki that was already there? Nothing to be ashamed of, this can happen to the best (especially if it was filed under a different namespace than you would have defaulted it to). Did you shamefully revert the edit on the spot? Great, you saved the mods some work. [[Main/Beat (beat)]] [[BerserkButton Did the Edit Protip say to check if the example is already there?]]

* SeriousBusiness: Tropes.

* RefugeInAudacity: The header for the page of this trope lists Administrivia/InUniverseExamplesOnly as a header, even on all the other related sub-pages just to hammer it home. The very first page listed below the header is not only [[RefugeInAudacity/RealLife exactly what you think]], but its also in '''bold font''' with arrows pointing to it, just to draw attention to the obvious violation. This trope is probably the only page listed on the the Administrivia page that ''also'' list RealLife examples.

* GratuitousForeignLanguage: On the JustForFun/TropeEpitaph page, the "Here lies [X]" part is translated into non-English concepts' respective pages. For example, "Här ligger Stockholm Shnozzing", "Hic iacet Parvum Opus", and "Twinkle Toes Samurai ga koko ni nemuru".
