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] I think a draft with that name was discarded a while ago, and we have Nerd in Evil's Helmet as well.

Mama Beer: When a character's mom likes to drink beer.

@mightymewtron: Thanks for pointing that out, wow, if I knew that existed I had forgotten tongue

Arguably Somewhat Partially Subverted Trope: When it kinda looks like a trope is present but also it kinda doesn't and you can't decide whether to list it or not but you really wanna entry pimp that work.

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

Playing Alive: Rather than a living character playing dead, a dead character is pretending to be alive.

Speaks In Limerick

This character's thought to just suck
And in dialogue no one will truck
For he only opines
With these metered lines
And thus there are given no fucks

It's like People Sit On Chairs, but without the sitting and the chairs! I've Seen It A Million Times!

Hobosexual: Character is exclusively attracted to homeless vagabonds. Biggest turnoff: bathing. Idea of "Wine and Dine" is Two-Buck Chuck and pork & beans straight from the can.
