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.

[up][up] We could make it a JFF game or something, lol. Everybody tries to connect your favorite work or trope to Mario Pissing!

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

We have a forum game called Terrible Tropes with Terrible Names. It slightly differs from this one in that it's one troper suggesting a name, the next one giving a Laconic, then suggesting a new name.

New rule: no Mario Pissing, and certainly no Gay. Be original, please.

[up] Two bad TLP drafts that got over 100 downvotes each and several memes. The second one caused a mass suspension for everyone involved, myself included.

Complete Bastard: A character who fails just one of the criteria for both Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard.
