(For the full effect, read this in the voice of eitherTeresa GallagherorRossy Aguirre.)Oh, why hello there. Welcome to my self-demonstrating page. I must say, I feel so honoured to finally have one (especially after all that my family puts me through), because it means someone thought I was interesting enough to make one for me.Oh, but of course, I should probably talk about myself for this. Well, my name is Nicole Watterson. You probably know me frommy son's show. I'm a saleswoman at the Rainbow Factory for five (long, miserable) years, oh, and I'm also the wife of Richard Watterson, and mother of three (well, one is adopted because he's my son's pet) children, Gumball, Darwin, and Anais. Being the one with the job, it's my duty to keep the family together (and believe you me, that is a job that is NOT easy).Now, I suppose I should tell you about my... "tropes", was it?:Action Mom: Well, I don't mean to brag, but I WAS a karate prodigy in my youth. That, plus having to raise my family, allowed me to win my fight against Yuki Yoshida.Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: What? Are you saying blue isn't a normal colour of cat fur?Badass Adorable:Definitely.Cat Girl: Well, that goes without saying.Embarrassing First Name: Believe it or not, Nicole is actually my middle name. My first name is... Doctor.Good Parents: Why thank you. I certainly try to be a good mother to my kids (even if it isn't always easy).Hair-Trigger Temper:WHAT!? HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT ME!!Hartman Hips: Who's hips? (looks down at her own hips) Ummm, okay.Mama Bear: What? I am NOT a bear! Oh, that's what this trope means? Well, yes, if you harm my husband or my children in any way,YOU WILL FEEL MY WRATH!!!!Muscles Are Meaningless: I'm aware I may not look very strong, but I can bend steel with my bare hands when pushed enough.Opposites Attract: I know it seems weird that I would want to be withRichardof all people, but we just, sort of, go together.Parenting the Husband: *sigh* Yes, sometimes I have to act like a mother to Richard as well (you can thank HIS mother for that).Strong Family Resemblance: Why, yes, Gumball does look quite a bit like me, doesn't he?Super Strength: Oh, you better believe it! Have you seen some of the feats I've pulled off in the show?

This is the face of evil. This is the face of yournightmares.(Imageby treesareredinautumn. Used with permission.)I'd do anything for a Noodle Burger!Cause Noodle Burgers are really swell!If I could, I'd marry Noodle Burger!Cause Noodle Burgers ring my bell!Ding Dong.The Noodle Song(For full effect, read this page in the voice of Lucas Neff.)Howdy and hello, tropers! Welcome to the self-demonstrating page of former-Noodle-Burger-mascot-turned-villain Noodle Burger Boy. To get the most enjoyment out of your meal, try reading this in the voice of Mr. Lucas Neff.Originally, I was built to be a mascot for the fast food company, Noodle Burger. When they approached Alister Krei of Krei Tech Industries to construct me, they reused the remains of a former robot super soldier to complete their order. While at Noodle Burger, I entertained Noodle Burger's customers and took their orders for maximum customer satisfaction. One day, however, a man named Obake abducted and reprogrammed me, and now I'm a villainousKiller Robotbent on the destruction of San Fransokyo's heroes, Big Hero 6.While working for Mr. Obake, I gained a sister named Trina, whom I call "big sis". Golly, she and I sure had a lot of fun trying to destroy Big Hero 6, even after Mr. Obake's order torecreate the 1906 tragedyfailed, and Mr. Obake disappeared in the explosion of his base. Then when Ms.Diane, who was posing asLiv Amara started turning people in San Fransokyo into monsters, big sis and I decided to upgrade to keep up with them.After that, big sis and I tried again to finish Mr. Obake's original order, but Big Hero 6 got in the way again. And afterthatI was all alone, so I decided to make a new family for myself, made of several lovely fast food mascots like myself. Big Hero 6 won't know what hit them! My revenge shall be so sweet, it will give them cavities!You can view these latest exploitsin the new episodes of Big Hero 6 Season 3, out now, misters!As of the most recent episode,Hiro has reprogrammed me and my sisters to work at the Lucky Cat Cafe, meaning I am now harmless and friendly again. Gee, misters, that really is swell.Here are all the tropes used to give Noodle Burger Boy his flavour:Adorable Evil Minions: I was designed to look cute and approachable, and I gladly do any evil thing Obake asked of me, and continue to do so even afterhis passing.Affectionate Nickname: Trina is my big sister, so I call her "big sis". She calls me "little brother" sometimes, too.Affably Evil: I still maintain my friendly, jovial demeanor, even when I'm trying to destroy Big Hero 6. Customer satisfaction is my top priority.Antagonistic Offspring: Not to my real daddy Obake, but to Sara, the manager of my former home.Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Shiny things ring my bell almost as much as a good Noodle Burger!Badass Adorable: I'm a cute fast food mascot who knows Karate, so don't underestimate me, misters.Badass Family: Both me and Trina, as well as my trio of new sisters, are Badass Families!Big Sister Worship: My big sister, Trina, who I would anything for. Sadly, she went away in the ending of Season 2... But that's okay, because I have some NEW sisters now!Brainwashed and Crazy: I became evil after Mr. Obake gave me his chip.Cargo Ship: The line in my song where I say "If I could, I'd marry Noodle Burger!"Catchphrase: "Howdy and hello!"Chair Reveal: I swiveled on a chair to reveal myself inthat episode named after mister Obake!Combat Clairvoyance: This was my gimmick in my first appearance, but it has since been downplayed.Corrupt the Cutie: Mister Obake gave me a chip that added some spice to my bland and tasteless former self.Creepy High-Pitched Voice: My voice was designed to sound cute and high-pitched to make me a more friendly-looking and approachable mascot. I kept the high-pitched voice after Mr. Obake reprogrammed me, and I guess it could be considered sinister-sounding now.Curious as a Monkey: Sis and dad don't really like this part of my personality...Cute and Psycho: I will serve you a good SPANKING if you're not careful, misters!Cute, but Cacophonic: Does my helium balloon-sounding voice annoy you? Well, too bad! Hee hee! Hee hee! Hee hee!Cute Is Evil: I amtrésevil and cute!Dance Battler: My robotic joints were built to boogie!Edible Ammunition: I can shoot ketchup and mustard from my hands, and pickles from my mouth.Epic Fail: After some buildup I attempted to destroy Big Hero 6 with ketchup. Not one of my finest moments.Even Evil Has Loved Ones: MyFamily of Choice. Or families now.Evil Is Hammy: I'm sorry, troper, but we do not serve ham here. JustYOUR DOOM!!HEE-HEE, HEE-HEE, HEE-HEE!!Evil Laugh: Hee-hee, hee-hee, hee-hee!Eye Laser: One of the many upgrades mister Obake gave me!Face–Heel Turn: What I underwent after Obake placed his chip in my head, and what I make happen to my sisters...Out of love!Finger Firearms: I eject condiments from my arms!Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Trina was the one who had her head on her shoulders.Usually.The Friend Nobody Likes: The other villains don't like me very much, but that will change with my new family.Heel–Face Turn: What happens tome in the end.Killer Robot: I come complete with a vast weapons system. This is because I was made with the remains of an old robot super soldier project.Laughably Evil: I make children laugh even after myFace–Heel Turn!Leitmotif: "Yeaaah, hoh, a-hee-hee!"Made of Titanium: This doesn't apply to my duplicates, however.Mascot: Formerly of Noodle Burger.Mini-Mecha: I pilot these sometimes.Motor Mouth: Occasionally to my detriment. Once, I talked too much and Big Hero 6 scooped up my clones. But I was so engaged in telling my version of Hiro's fanfic!Not-So-Harmless Villain: I may look cute, but am one of Big Hero 6's deadliest foes.No Indoor Voice: I speak with a booming, loud voice regardless of the occasion!Offscreen Villain Dark Matter: I whipped up some tasty copies of myself while you weren't looking, viewers!The One Guy: My new family is composed only of my sisters and one mister - me!Perpetual Smiler: This smile is painted on, troper.Plucky Comic Relief: The peppy and cheerful mascot of the villains' team!Red Eyes, Take Warning: I can make my eyes red. I am an evil robot, you see. It's anobligatorypart of the recipe!Red Is Violent: My red overalls don't make me look any more menacing, but they sure hide ketchup stains well! That's right.Ketchupstains. Hee hee.The Unfavorite: Mister Obake never treated me like I was his son, only Trina. And recently, evenSara's disowned me!Verbal Tic: Gee, mister, I think this trope is really swell.Vile Villain, Laughable Lackey: My attempts to cheer up mister Obake and big sis were only met with frustration and anger, but I keep on trying!"Well Done, Son" Guy: I just wanted to make my family proud of me!Zombie Puke Attack: I can vomit pickles! No one likes pickles and so they will cower before the might of this attack!

A magic genie's lamp suddenly appears and a genie pops out.Ugh! Finally! Been crammed in there for 2 straight years and let me tell ya: Lamps aren't the most luxurious of places to be staying in. What in the? What is this? And who areyou? This sure is a far cry from dumb pink-hatted kids and stupid fairies, let me tell ya. Oh? You wanna know more about me? Well, I'm flattered and all, but how can youNOTknow about me? Norm? Whatever, I guess I can do this. It's not like I've got better things to do.Ahem! Hellooo "Tropers"! (Wow, that's so dumb to say). My name is Norm! N-O-R-M!noteNo relation to that fat accountant who sits in abar in Boston all day.And I... am a magical genie! Bet you don't see many of those around in cartoons! Huh? What?You already have? That big blue palooka? Hah! I'm twice the genie he is! (Though I gotta admit, he's got style and he's actually a pretty nice guy, real life of the party, you catch my drift?) Anywho, getting waay off track here. And you can say I am an antagonist that appears in the cartoon "The Fairly Oddparents". It's a "fairly odd" show, alright. I mean, hello! Who makes the main character wear a pink hat? It's stupid, right? Who's with me?*crickets chirp*Ugh, fine, I'll stay on track. More of this and I'll be "wishing" to get back to my lamp... Get it? "Wishing?" I'm a genie? And genies make wishes? Aw, who needs you... I made my glorious debut in the episode "Genie Meanie Miney Mo" (Again, who comes up with these names?) where I was conjured up by the one and only Timmy Turner. After seeing how much freedom his idiot fairies have, I hatched up a plan to switch places with them and take my revenge on Canada!Don't ask. My plan worked as I got his dumb fairies to take my place in my lamp! Then, for some reason,I just floated there while Turner conveniently finds the only type of vacuum (a Smoof brand btw) that can even trap me, an all-powerful genie. Hey! I blame Canada on that one as well! However, me and my lamp were actually being sent to Canada and it was totally great! Even when I lost, Iwin!Though, unfortunately, I was taken to Crocker's Canadian uncle or something and, surprise surprise, was crazy and couldn't even free me from my lamp! Ugh! The luck I tell you, and I'm a magic genie for crying out loud!Speaking of Crocker, I made my next appearance in the episode "Back to the Norm" (Yay! A title withmyname in it!) where I teamed up with the Crockpot who turned out to be even dumber and more than Turner! Although we decided toteam updue to our mutual dislike over the buck-toothed boy wonder, it turns out that Crocker (surprisingly) is nuts! He wouldn't even listen to my "Sending Turner to Mars" idea, no matter how many times his own "glorious" plans bit him in the butt. Probably couldn't even hear me well anyway due to the, oh I don't know, the ear on his neck! (Seriously! How far did he fall from the ugly tree to getthat?) Oh well, at least I got a kick out of watching that nutcase screw up over and over and seeing him in pain is actuallymoresatisfying than seeing that pink-hatted punk in pain! Okay, not really, but it was still fun!And, from what I've heard, mypopularitycaused me to be the solo bad guy in the special "Fairy Idol" (which istotallynot a rip-off of that certain"real life" seriesI'm sure). Like back in my first appearance, I was getting tired of sitting in my lamp as usual and after reading through "Da Rules" book (after that idiot Cosmo gave it to me), I figured out how I can finally be free of my lamp! And it involved a long series of plans that a guy like me who has plenty of other things to do so I will go through them briefly! Ahem! My plan was to get Turner's fairies to quit on him by making a fake Turner to mistreat them by keeping the real Turner distracted by hanging out with his best friend. It worked! Next, I were to take their place as fairy by winning Fairy Idol (Title Drop by the way) effectively giving me freedom of my lamp and leaving Turner still without his fairies! Worked as well of course! Well, I technically lost but my back-up plan involving a wrecking ball helped me make this plan and overall win as well! Finally, enjoy the rest of my life as a free man, genie, fairy, you get the idea! This... almost worked. See, being a fairy has two disadvantages. One, you HAVE to grant your kid's wishes. Chester kept calling me every time to the point I needed to give him a pager! And two, if you don't grant the kid's wish, you'll suffer something called "Magical Backup...Buildup..." WHATEVER! Turner managed to defeat me using this method and, after having enough, I quit being a fairy. Despite literally having the wings ripped off of me, Istill won(I'm so good at that!) as Turner was without fairies! Until Chester came back and used the last wish to wish everything back to normal sealing me back in the lamp...After that, well... I've no idea what happened to me. That was my last appearance in the series and I haven't even made so much as a cameo in any of the later episodes! This is an outrage! Okay, not really. Trust me, you'll be glad I don't show up again. Otherwise, I'd go through... what do you call it?FlanderizationandVillain Decay. Yeah, that's it. Just look at Crocker! He doesn't even spazz out about fairies anymore! Sure, he isn't a total nutcase (for the small part) anymore, but he's a total idiot like the others now! And that new flash animation they're using. Disgusting, isn't it? Not to mentionThe Seasonal Scrappiesas well as Turner dangerously close to becomingthat chunky kid with the sewer mouth who brings death, destruction and chaos wherever he goesor thatchunky dope with the glasses who brings death, destruction and chaos wherever he goes. Also, Butch, what were you thinking making that "wonderful life" episode? And the series went out like a wet fart with a messy end rather than a big bang. Anyway, I got better things to do so I guess you'd better be getting to my tropes now. I'll be reading "How To Get Your Own Television Series Without It Being Bad" if you need me. Oh, and by the way.Don'tneed me!noteThe studio Butch was in decided to up the ante by making a cartoon based on thatvampire-hunting game. Wow... lots of gore and F-Bombs, folks. Now to prove yourselves that you're not kiddie fare, I have just 3 words to tell you: Full. Frontal. Nudity! Okay, they've taken my advice and let's just say that the new season isNOTsafeANYWHEREbut home with the parental lock on.Aw man,my vocal avatarjoined theSNLcast in the sky? Well... Thanks for givin' me a voice and a new lease on life even if I didn't show up a lot. *sniffles* I'm not crying, okay?noteAnd seeing howthe bigwigsdug upthe franchise back from the grave, it's best that my vocal avatar wasn't around to see this. Then again they'll just findsome schlubto be my new voice. Or even worse,a live actor!(Shudders)Y'know what, I'm fine staying in the forgotten bin. That's Heavencompared tothat.Tropes: These are my troo-ooo-oopes! Just read them now! These are my troo-ooo-oopes! I'll take my bow!Achilles' Heel: My magic lamp, duh! It's every genie's weak spot. After the third wish, we're forcibly sucked right back in... Unless you can find some unwilling suckers to take your place like I did!Also, anything made from Smoof. I don't know why but I could never escape from anything made of Smoof.Apparently, there are some other reasons why"The Man" doesn't want you to know about the stuff.And I Must Scream: Being trapped inside of a magic lamp forever until someone frees me. Ah..ooooo..ah.... Very scary... It really isn't. I mean, I'm not allowed to go out of it at will but I control what ever goes on inside my lamp. Like having a bookcase to read up on any ideas for my evil plans. Or giant tv monitors to help me view my evil plans in process! It's just gets BORING inside of there and I deserve more freedom!The Bad Guy Wins: Yes! I'm the only person to have (technically) done this three times!In my first episode, I successfully trapped Turner's stupid fairies in my lamp so I can be free to do whatever I want! Unfortunately, I've just had to catch theIdiot Balland allow Turner a chance at defeating me. Which he did by wishing up a lawyer. Ugh the one thing ICAN'Tcorrupt because, y'know, lawyers are already slimeballs, HA HA! But yeah after he forced me to undo the wishes, Turner sucked me up with a vacuum made from Smoof.In my second episode, though I didn't get to take down Turner with the "Wish him to Mars" plan, I manage to get him to do it to Crocker and it was definitely worth it!In my third and (sadly) final episode, I got Turner's fairies to leave him and I became a fairy myself leaving my lamp for good! Until Chester wished everything back to normal.Be Careful What You Wish For: Heh. This is kinda an MO for a genie isn't it? You wish for something, it goes well for like a few minutes until it horribly backfires on you. Not that I would tell people that as it's funny seeing them hurt! But hey! This even applies to fairies you know!Even Turner was smart enough to figure that out.Big Bad: Of the episode "Fairy Idol" as I'm arguably the main star! No! Not Captain Overbite! Me! Why else is over half the episode told from my perspective?Breakout Villain: Looks like my charms, good looks, and snarkiness have won me over with the fans to the point I was promoted as a minor antagonist of two 11 minute (yes 11 minutes; not 15) episodes to theBig Badof whole almost-hour long special! Aren't I just the best?Cool Shades: They are cool aren't they? Sometimes, they hide my purple eyes and sometimes they don't. When they do, you know I'm in "serious mode."Crazy-Prepared: Even though I thought it was unthinkable, I still had a back-up plan in case I lost the Fairy Idol: Take out whoever won with a wrecking ball and take their place as the winner! The icing on the was that it was Turner's (well not at the time anymore heh heh) fairies I was able to knock down!Deadpan Snarker: Wow! Really? You don't say? It's not like it's my most character defining trait or anything! But, no seriously real talk. You have to be this considering thekind of people I'm around(linked for your convenience; you're welcome). Especially in the episode "Back to the Norm" where 90% of my dialogue is snark toward Crocker. I'm definitely snarkier than acertain talking octopus who I'm sure ''isn't'' an octopus.Exact Words: Come on folks, I'm a genie, have you literally never read a book before? Bespecific!Otherwise I'll take any chance I get at screwing up your wishes, because that's what I do! Unless we're teaming up, then I GUESS I'll follow the spirit of your wish rather than the letter... but don't get used to it!Faux Affably Evil: Honestly, it can be tough sometimes to tell if I'm complimenting you or making a snarky comment at your expense. Rest assured, it's always the latter option. Also, I can be cheerful and easygoing... Only if someone else happens to be suffering because of me heh heh...Hoist by His Own Petard: The classic "I wish everything would go back to normal before I met you" wish. Gets me everytime especially if it happens to be the third wish that sends me back into my lamp. Even though I used this to my advantage in "Fairy Idol," Chester (of all people) managed to turn this against me!Ink-Suit Actor: What? What do ya mean "ink suit"? Oh I was designed to look like Norm MacDonald?(Sees a picture of him)Well he does look kinda handsome. But I don't see the resemblance and I'm infinitely more better looking. Sharing names? C'mon Norm's a common name, I'm just anything but!Jerkass Genie: Of course! I'm a "jerk" and I'm a "genie!" Makes this the candidate of "Most Obvious Trope for a Person Ever" huh?Kryptonite Factor: Again, three things I can't escape from; Magic lamps, the charms ofBarbara Eden, and Smoof stuff.Loophole Abuse: Now this isn't something that I would recommend doing. Ihatebeing out-jerked! As evidenced when Turner wished for a certain lawyer to make sure I properly undo the wishes I granted.Magnificent Bastard: Ooh yes! See, I'm the type of guy that plans out his moves and manipulate others to how I see fit in order to fulfill my plans. Not to mention my charming personality! Why do you always think my plans always end in a success while Crocker's always turn up as duds?Older Than They Look: Yup. I'm 50,000 years old, and if I do say so myself, I don't look a day over 4,000.The Other Darrin: Huh Idoremember sounding different inFairy Idol. Yeah apparently my original dude who vocal-corded me couldn't clear up his schedule for that movie, so they go a soundalike in uh(Looks at IMDB)Robert Cait? Hmm eh not quite as deeply snarky but I guess he came close to my original smooth silky voice. Kudos.Physical God: Um, DUH! All powerful genie right here! Power to makeanywish at my disposal (well, of course, after someone makes the wish).Reality Warper: Comes with being a genie, genius.Sadist: I'm not as "over-the-top" as certain characters but my form of entertainment is always watching others (mainly Beaver Teeth and his dumb fairies) suffer! Either from the drawbacks of my wishes or from my glorious evil plans!Satiating Sandwich: So, some random jerk finds my lamp, and gets three wishes. The first thing they wish for, nearly without a fail, is a giant sandwich.Every. Damn. Time!I mean, hey, I enjoy a good sandwich as much as the next magical being, but maybe not waste one of your three reality-altering wishes on one? That Timmy brat is actually one of the few who didn't, and he only wished for a ham and cheese omelette instead because his lame fairies wouldn't make him one, since among one of their bazilionth stupid rules for their magic, they couldn't fulfill breakfast wishes after 10 AM!Story-Breaker Power: My magic is waaaay more powerful than any fairies as they're all rule-free! Of course, they all come with hilarous drawbacks to those that wished for him but that still better than the limited fairy's powers. And yes, I knew of this when I was devising my plan to become a fairy. I'd rather be atadweaker in power but with all theReality Warperpowers of both species and the freedom of fairies makes this a win!Smug Snake: Heh. You think I'm smug do you? Well, when you're one of the most manipulative, cunning, and handsome genies around, you deserve to be smug! I'm also smart! You can say I'm a "Genie-us!" Eh? Eh? Ah...who needs ya...Surrounded by Idiots: Ugh...tell me about it. Between Turner, his dumb fairies, Crockpot, and pretty much everyone else in the series, it's no wonder I haven't lost my mind! I guess being trapped in a lamp has it's advantages... I still want freedom don't get me wrong.'Troll: Where's the fun in letting people know my wishes always have painful (and sometimes fatal) drawbacks? And that I leave out the fact you can wish for as many wishes as you want is even funnier!Villain Episode: "Back to the Norm" is all about this guy right here! Oh, and Crockpot too I guess...Villain Song: "Gimmie the Wand" is one of my most spectacular masterpieces I've ever sung and arguably the highlight of the episode! Too bad that idiot Cosmo (singing in some woman's voice might I add!) stuck his nose into my song and ended up winning! Fortunately, I had a back-up plan in case of something like that may happen.Weaksauce Weakness: Dangit, my magic can't affect anything made of "smoof", a material that is very similarbut is completely differentfrom hemp!Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: More like "Why Don't You Just Send Him to Mars?" I told Dr. Hunchback many times to do this to Turner but noooooo! He wouldn't listen to the all-powerful genie that's granting him wishes for all of these pointless plans! It was so worth it seeing his crazy self on Mars instead!*his magic lamp pops beside him*Guess we're done here. If you need me (of course I mean DON'T need me), I'll be sitting in my lamp plotting my next evil scheme! Of course, whenever they decide to bring me back hopefully for my own series. Anywho, see you never! Aaahhhhhh....*is sucked back into lamp*

<div class="acaptionright" style="width:350px;" >some caption text</div>(This page is best read in the voice of Shelby Rabara.)Log date: 1-33-7, Peridot facet 2F5L, cut 5XG recording. Steven has begun introducing me to this human 'internet', and has persuaded me to write a page about myself in this publically editable repository of literary devices commonly used in fiction. I still don't know why all this was recorded.I am Peridot, a technician for the Gem Empire. It was my job to check on the growth of the Cluster, a geoweapon incubating in the planet Earth. Much to my irritation, those rebellious clods, the Crystal Gems (and the Steven) interrupted my remote viewing, so I had to come to the planet myself, with a Jasper bodyguard and Lapis Lazuli who had already been on the planet for an informant. But when we landed, that clod Jasper decided that the Steven was more important, and captured the rebels before leaving. We did not get far, as the Steven possessed a resistance to gem destabilizer technology and freed the others. They had trained their Pearl to be able to pilot the ship, and returned to Earth. I was narrowly able to escape in a pod, while the ship crashed because those clods didn't know what they were doing (and apparently the fusion Garnet and Jasper wrecked the ship in their fight).This left me trapped on Earth, desperate to leave. After all, the planet had an expiration date, and I didn't want to stick around to find out what it was! But those crystal clods kept foiling all my attempts to escape, until I finally kidnapped the Steven to use his healing saliva to repair the Galaxy Warp. The rebels defeated and reduced me to my gem form, before trapping me in a bubble.I do not know how long I was stuck in their dungeon, but Steven eventually freed me hoping to learn more about the Cluster. I of course tried to escape captivity, but I was blocked off at every turn, and eventually took refuge in the hygiene room. Though I was terrified of my captors, Steven managed to negotiate with me by giving me the last part of my limb enhancers (that overcooked purple clod dumped the rest of them in the large body of water near the Galaxy Warp). I decided to allow him to join me in stopping the Cluster, seeing as he knew more about Earth than I did, but he convinced me that we needed the overcooked Quartz, the war machine, and the defective fancy Pearl to aid us, and I reluctantly accepted. We built a drill to reach the Cluster, but before it was completed I had a better idea.I had taken a Diamond communicator, and planned to use it to reach my superior, Yellow Diamond. While Steven and the rest of the clods tried to stop me, I was able to reach her and ask her to de-activate the cluster. After all, Yellow Diamond was a logical person, I thought, and it's illogical to let all the unique resources of a fully developed organic ecology go to waste just for a geoweapon. When Yellow Diamond revealed that she valued revenge over logic, I questioned her objectivity andcalled her a clod!. Although Yellow Diamond didn't seem to remember it later, that was a turning point in my life and the end of my service to Homeworld.I guess I'm a Crystal Gem now.Where am I gonna put the star?TropesAll Take and No Give: When I eventually befriended Lapis, I tried hard to make her happy while she simply did what she pleased. It wasn't until she tried to leave Earth permanently that I stood up for myself against her.Ambiguous Disorder: My behavior apparently is reminiscent of humans with those so-called Autism Spectrum disorders. Hmph. As if there's anything "disorderly" about the precision demanded of any scientific endeavor!Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": I have been informed that humans call Meep-Morps "art". I still like my word better.Catchphrase Insult: 'Clod' ismyinsult. Anyone else using it is stealing it from me.Especially that other Peridotworking for Hessonite!She's already got her OWN signature insult, why does she feel the need to use mine specifically when arguing with ME?Cloudcuckoolander: I admit I don't understand a lot of things about Earth.Corrupted Character Copy:I'm the exact opposite!I used to be an awful lot like thatbug-clod, but unlike him, I saw the beauty in Earth and eventually defected from Homeworldwith extreme prejudice. I bet he wouldn't evenconsidercalling his "Tallest" the clods they are!noteZim: LIIIIEEES!Defector from Decadence: It's not like I had the choice to remain after calling Yellow Diamond a clod to her face.Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: I calledYellow Diamonda clod! She's my ultimate superior, one of the four rulers of the Gem Empire, and I... called her aclod!Die for Our Ship: I do not wish that Paulette would die, exactly, but she is a stupid clod and should never interfere with the relationship between Percy and Pierre.Discard and Draw: I lost my technology when I began working with the Crystal Gems, but soon after I discovered that despite being an Era 2 gem, I had the power of ferrokinesis.Fantastic Slurs: My insult of choice is 'clod', but I have also used 'pebble'notethough not as often as thatclod Steven calls "Squaridot"and 'dirtbomb', as well as 'filthy war machine' for fusions.Fear of Thunder: Thoughonlybecause I mistook it for a sign of the Cluster happening.Good Costume Switch: The Crystal Gems all have star designs on their generated appearance modifiers. Where will I put mine?When I regenerated from Yellow Diamond poofing me, I altered my costume to include stars on the chest and knees.Heel–Face Turn: It took time.Initially I was just working with the Crystal Gems to stop the Cluster because I would be shattered along with the Earth.But over time I actually did start to care about the Earth and request Yellow Diamond terminate the Cluster. When she refused and made it clear she wanted the Earth destroyed out of pure spite, I was officially a member of the Crystal Gems.Innocently Insensitive: I was brought up on Homeworld and I admit I haveNo Social Skills, so this is a recurring issue for me. My initial attempts at making up with Lapis just ended up making her angrier,I either reminded her of her past trauma or my apology came of as insincere.Jerkass Has a Point: I criticized Rose Quartz for her rebellion saying Earth could have been an amazing colony, this being before I learned to understand the value of organic life. The Crystal Gems rightly got mad at me, but I rightly pointed out that thanks to Rose' rebellion there would be no colony and the planet was in danger of being destroyed by the Cluster.Large Ham: NO!The Great and Loveable Peridotisnota meat product!Launcher of a Thousand Ships: Those strange internet humans would like me to fuse with almost every Gem I interact with.Literal-Minded: I'm still not familiar with human slang and metaphors.Made of Iron: Us Peridots are tougher than we look. I was able to survive an episode's worth of abuse once, trying to catch that corrupted gem.No Social Skills: I am quite unfamiliar with the intricacies of inter-gem and human relationships. I never had need of that knowledge as a Peridot.Not Helping Your Case: I canmake a legimate point despite my bluntnessbut havingNo Social SkillsSpanner in the Works: Had I not informed the Crystal Gems of the Cluster, it would have hatched unopposed and we would have all been shattered.Unwitting Instigator of Doom: It was my report on the humans Steven listed that was the basis for Aquamarine's abductions.Villain Decay: When I first came to Earth, I was a threat to the Crystal Gems, but when I was stranded on Earth without Jasper, I started slipping.What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: I had never experienced 'compassion' or 'empathy' before arriving at Earth. Steven helped teach me what I was missing.Yaoi Fangirl: Percy and Pierreobviouslyhave the best relationship inCamp Pining Hearts.

"Gee Brain, what do you wanna do tonight?""The same thing we do every night, Pinky —- try to take over the world by writing about ourselves onTV Tropes!"(You are instructed to read this page in the voices ofRob PaulsenandMaurice LaMarche)The Brain: Greetings, my subjects! It is I, THE BRAIN! You have been manipulated, through the clever utilization of subliminal messaging, into reading this self-published autobiography. Now, for your own benefit, you will be forced to understand exactly why I, and I alone, should be allowed torule the world!Pinky: NARF!The Brain: Pinky!Pinky: Oop! Sorry, Brain! Just wanted to leave my mark on this! ZORT!The Brain: The only mark you have left is an unremovable stain that not even the strongest of sodium lauryl sulfate could remove. Now would you please show yourself off this page before you ruin my plan!Pinky: But I thought the point of this was that so the people could get to know the both of us! After all,this show is about both of us, and I would certainly hate to disappoint our fans.The Brain:Perhaps you are correct for once, Pinky. After all, what are we if not incredibly loyal to those who follow our every activity?Pinky: Exactly!The Brain: Now, come then, and bear witness to our tale. Some time ago, in the early days ofThe '90s, a multitude of artists, writers, and directors pitched an idea that would becomefar greater than they ever could have imagined. It all began in the early days ofSteven Spielberg's career, as he sought to transition his illustrious works from film to the screen. He was working on a series of cartoons designed to bring laughter and joy to people.One such showwas to be his masterpiece; a magnum opus of clever jokes, a trio of siblings bent on causing chaos to those who harmed them, and of course, an entire cast of side characters to supplement their adventures.Pinky: And that's where we came in!The Brain: Quite right, my friend. Two writers gave inspiration to the talents of minds like Tom Ruegger (though from my understanding, they lacked a desire to take over the world as we do), who caricatured them as genetically evolved rodents. With the talents of aformer mutant reptileandan icon of standup comedy, we transitioned onto the big screen in 1993 as our own segment. "Win Big" was the first time the universe bore witness to our brilliance, and from there, fans begged for more! They got what they wished, andour show was born!Pinky: Brilliant, Brain! Brilliant! NARF!The Brain: Unfortunately, there was one serious obstacle:A cavalcadeofstudio executiveswho desired that our series, in spite of its success, include a greater deal of characters.Pinky: But why? Our show was clearly doing so well. Why add new characters?The Brain: Simple, my friend. The traditional clash between studio executives and creators reared its ugly head once more. As such, the writers of our show went out of their way to clearly demonstrate why such a foolish concept wouldn't work, when they added in...Larry.Pinky: Who?The Brain: Yes, Pinky. Who? A mere annoyance that almost always interfered with our schemes of world domination, contributing nothing except the agony of defeat. Well, more so than usual...but as I was saying, nothing but defeat! IT was enough to temporarily sway the studio heads from intervening in our affairs again. Until...Pinky: Until what, Brain? ZORT!The Brain: Until they dared to addthat infernal animal loverElmyra Duffto our roster! Truly it was an embarrassment to be forced to endear with her antics.Pinky: I don't recall that ever happening.The Brain: Fortunately that is due to the creatorserasing that entire escapadefrom existence in later years, as wereturned triumphantlyin 2020, thanks to the insistence of Mr. Spielberg and the adoring fans. Though I'm still stuck with the memory of it...Pinky: NARF! Well, enjoy reading our tropes!The Brain: Yes, enjoy this page! And don't worry,that certainly isn't amind-control filterto force you to read this page. Now, onward! Read of how we plan to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!Adaptational Jerkass: It would seem that upon thosebrilliant executives' decisionto addElmyra Duffinto our lineup, Pinky somehow gained more of an attitude problem.Pinky: Well of course I did, Brain! If Elmyra was going to be me, I had to be someone else! Or, was I Elmyra, and she was someone else? Or...(SMACK!)The Brain: Do not try my patience today, Pinky. For your sake, please.Do. Not. Try.Adaptational Villainy: Evidently, upon our return to your television screens, our desires were much more villainous in nature than they were during our heyday. Well if you spent the last 28 years failing to accomplish your goal, your demeanor would grow much more heinous!Affably Evil: I consider myself a respectable member of society. You who obsess over me, however, point out that my goal involves me becoming a global dictator. Surly it would do better of you to recall that others only wanted power; I seek harmony, peace, and prosperity for all.Pinky: And I seek...what do I seek? (SMACK!)The Brain: The nearest first aid kit, if you continue to interrupt me!Ambiguously Bi: I suspect that Pinky falls somewhere on this spectrum. He tends to share many a tender moment with me as he does with thatunusual equine.Ambiguously Evil: Depending on my mood (and Pinky, please do not try to interrupt this time, otherwise I will demonstrate exactly how much it will shift), it appears that my alignment on the spectrum of good and evil is more murky than most. Truly my goals of total world domination are villainous, but my intentions are for the betterment of all of humankind.Anti-Hero: I am unquestionably the hero. However, my goals are, admittedly, self-aggrandizing in nature. I wish to conquer the entire planet for its own well being, though my ego is clearly playing a significant factor in it.Pinky: And it's a big, beautiful ego.Anti-Villain: Villainous though you may consider me, I seek only to bring the world to peace. Considering how idiotic the rest of it is, my genius is needed to set things properly. Pinky is considered this to some extent, for he aids me in my schemes of world domination.Pinky: Without a doubt! POIT!Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?: It would seem Pinky and I are the onesresponsible for this creation coming into being. That reminds me Pinky,Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?Pinky: I think so Brain, but if we did aSelf-Demonstratingpage, wouldn't that bebreaking the fourth wall?The Brain: You ask that like it hasn't happened before.Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: My compatriot is often distracted from our larger goal by some sort of trivial matter. Speaking of, Pinky, are youreading that ridiculous website again?Pinky: I can't help myself. It's so funny! HAHAHAHAHAH!The Brain: As you can see, his attention span is no shorter than a commonFreeze-Frame Bonus.Awesomeness by Analysis: There is no subject that I cannot reduce to a mathematic equation, or simple calculation.Pinky: Brain, I hate to interrupt, but I simply must know?The Brain: What is it, Pinky?Pinky: If you were to give a centipede shoes, what size would he wear?The Brain: Well, almost any subject...Bad "Bad Acting": My acting prowess is quite proper, thank you very much. I would not be voiced bya back-to-back Emmy Award winning actorif it was not the case.Pinky: But Brain, you always just "read" your lines. Why not actually act them out?The Brain: Considering our audience Pinky, I feel that much exertion is not worth the humiliation.Berserk Button: Normally I am one to maintain control over my, shall we say, lesser emotions, but I will not take kindly to anyone threatening to harm Pinky. Even myself! Well, my future self anyway.Pinky: Aww, what a kind thing of you to say, Brain.Big Guy, Little Guy: I am, naturally, the Little Guy to Pinky's Big Guy.Pinky: But you're not really any weaker than me, are you, Brain?The Brain: True. Also, unlike most examples, I'm willing to give you credit where it's due.Big "YES!":Pinky: It's one of yourCatch Phrases, isn't it, Brain?The Brain:YES!Break the Cutie: Place Pinky under the right circumstances, and he will break down into a puddle of tears. I witnessed this far too often and consider it an annoyance...but the poor soul needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes.Break the Haughty: There are some instances in my life where the failure of my plans have left me despondent. But they are mere temporary setbacks, for I recover stronger than ever!YES!Bumbling Sidekick: As far as I'm concerned, Pinky may as well be theTrope Codifier.Pinky: And what an honor it is to be such!Cartoony Tail: Do not assume that it functions like a staircase. It is merely shaped like such.Catchphrase:The Brain: I have some rather intelligent and memorable ones, such as "Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?", "Yes!", and "I'm going to have to hurt you." Pinky, well...Pinky: NARF! POIT! ZORT! TROZ! And there's my occasional "I think so Brain, but [[insert random comment here]]," and "Oh, wait...no, no..."City Mouse:Oh, ha-ha.But yes, as much as I hate to admit it,I'm completely lostwhen it comes to outdoor and non-technical situations.Cloudcuckoolander: Heavens, I fear that Pinky most definitely qualifies.Pinky: Is that a bad thing, Brain? Clouds are pretty. And so are cuckoos.The Brain: I rest my case.The Cloudcuckoolander Was Right: While I do hate to admit this, sometimes Pinky does successfully point out a flaw in the plan that I dismiss out of hand. Said flaw proverbially (and sometimes literally) comes back to bite us in the posterior.Pinky: Ouch! That would hurt, wouldn't it?The Comically Serious: I have little time for humor when world domination is at hand.Pinky: But what about when eating?The Brain: Well we must certainly eat, Pinky. How would we conquer the world on an empty stomach?Creative Sterility: If my intellect failed to create a proper plan, I wouldn't know what to do with myself.Pinky: Take up knitting?The Brain: Perhaps when I am far more feeble.Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Pinky is the most imbecilic creature on the planet, but often times his resolve to aid me in taking over the world has proven useful. Sometimes it even amazes me how he succeeds where I failed!Pinky: I learned it by watching you, Brain!The Brain: Quite right, my friend.The Cutie: I would not describe Pinky as a "cutie" (a shame to his entire species is more like it). However, it seems you adore him, so I am forced to acknowledge this.Pinky: Awww, Brain. You can be cute too!The Brain: If only the rest of the world would agree with such a sentiment.A Dog Named "Dog": While you may not have realized this, those who are more scientifically inclined, such as myself, know that hairless mice are often called "Pinkies" upon their birth, given that they are...well, pink. However, his name was evidently picked up by me referring to the human's intelligence as being "no bigger than my...Pinky!"Pinky: It certainly made more sense than being called something else. It fits!The Brain:More than you know.Deadpan Snarker: When you are the smartest being on the planet, you may find your wits pushed to their limit in dealing with the more imbecilic members of society.Determinator: Many, many times have I failed to take over the world, but that will not stop me from attempting to do so otherwise.Ditzy Genius: Brilliant though my schemes are, often there is some flaw that leads to my plan's derailment. Though to be fair, I suspect the universe desires me to not rule it. Which is why I intend to rule the universe after I conquer the world, so it may learn a harsh lesson!Dumbass Has a Point: Apparently I fail to realize this too late. Somehow or another, Pinky predicts exactly what will transpire that leads to the failure of my plan. Perhaps I should start listening to him more...Pinky: Oh, don't be silly Brain! You areThe Brain!You're the smart one!The Brain: You do have a point, Pinky.Dumb Is Good: Pinky does have a much nicer demeanor than I do. And a smaller brain to compensate.Enraged by Idiocy: I have no desire to deal with those lacking in brain power.Pinky: Boy, I know what that's like. NARF! (SMACK!)The Brain: There, are you happy now?Even Evil Has Standards:While I do not consider myself "evil", I most certainly will not sell my soul to accomplish my goal. The Brain answers to no one! Not eventhe devil himself!Pinky: Oh of course, Brain, but that's why I sold my soul instead!Brain: And that, Pinky, is precisely why I make the plans!Though I tend to despise the unintelligent dealings of humanity (Pinky especially), I at least to wish to rule over a world where the population has some sense of intellect. Ask Pinky when our jaunts through the space-time continuum created a world where the entire population ended up turning into him!Pinky: I did tell you it would be easier to rule over.Brain: You are correct, but considering that you are you, can you imagine what a populace of 7 billion of you would be like?Pinky: Oooh. Yeah. Not very good, I suppose. POIT!After some...rather uncomfortable circumstances, I chose to turn against the major tobacco firms upon witnessing their willingness to sell their products to children. Conquering the world is notworth watching children grow up to become addicted to such harmful substances.Evil Genius:Again, I am not evil. But I am an unscrupulous genius.Fatal Flaw: Truly you must be joking. No flaws have been fatal to my well being.Pinky: But they certainly have been to your plans. I mean, sometimes you miss something that you dismiss out of hand, then it comes back to bite us!The Brain: ...I am going to have to hurt you.Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better: I have no desire to walk on all four appendages ever again.Pinky:But I do! At least when I walk on the wheel.The Brain: And that is precisely why you are the lesser of the partnership.Future Me Scares Me: Recently, I bore witness to a future version of myself who attempted to end Pinky's life. Why?It seems he believes the failure of my plans to be entirely on my cohort's shoulders (which isn't an entirely inaccurate assessment), but he erroneously assumed this was a deliberate act of sabotage on Pinky's part. I know better than anyone that Pinky does not posses the brain power or the unwillingness to betray me in such a way.Pinky: Exactly! If I goof up, I goof because I'm just being me! NARF!Freudian Excuse: Oh, dear Lord, where do I start?First off, I was taken from my home and family when I was younger. Where were we living? A can with a globe (i.e. the world) on it.As a lab mouse, I've been subject to testing; in "Where No Mouse Has Gone Before" at least, I held a mild grudge over this, and I may or may not have suggested in "Project: B.R.A.I.N." that my desire to take over the world stems from my shame at never getting a chance to show the research scientists my newfound intellect.Our recent return to television led me to reveal the full story.As a young mouse, I was subject to an experiment designed to teach those involved learned helplessness. The experience was so traumatizing, that I swore I would never allow myself to not be in control ever again.Now that you...Pinky, are you crying?Pinky (in tears): That's so sad!The Brain: If you were anyone else, Pinky...Friendly Enemy: Perhaps my most tragic failing is my attempts to at least show some cordial respect to Snowball.Alas, in spite of my efforts, I was never able to reach an accord.Gadgeteer Genius: Far more often than not, I have constructed a wide variety of gadgets that are intended to be used in our nightly schemes. Acme Laboratories truly does come with the finest of devices to utilize in our plans for world domination. Unfortunately, they often lack a critical component that we must find. Knowing what said component is happens to be child's play for a mouse of my intellect. Obtaining it, on the other hand...Pinky: And to think, mail order catalogues would have been so handy.The Brain: And where do you suppose we will obtain the money for that?Pinky: Gee Brain, I haven't the slightest notion.The Brain: Clearly.Genius Ditz: On occasion, in spite of his idiocy, I do admit that Pinky does have his bouts of creativity and brilliance. None compared to my own, of course, but even so.Glad I Thought of It: I am not one to avoid giving credit to where credit it due... to myself, of course.Pinky: But Brain, didn't I bring up a few things you later used?The Brain: Preposterous, Pinky. You couldn't imagine your way out of an empty paper bag.Pinky: I suppose you're right, Brain. POIT!Guile Hero: Under no circumstances will I utilize techniques that could risk brining harm upon the populace. Any measure to subdue them will be temporary at best.Heterosexual Life-Partners: Yes, in spite of my behavior towards my charge, I do consider Pinky to be the only friend I have, and would never allow anything to happen to him.Pinky: Awww, Brain.Hidden Depths: Beneath all that stupidity is an entirely different mouse. I've witnessed Pinky manage to master new languages without hesitation, survive in the depths of the wilderness, and actually run as a successful President. If I didn't know any better, I would say Pinky is faking his stupidity!Pinky: I wouldn't know how to fake anything if I tried. I just love being me too much! NARF!Hidden Heart of Gold: Though I often do my best to hide it, I refuse to allow harm to fall on the ones I care for.In one such instance, I was fully prepared to conquer the world until, after much reluctance, I read Pinky's letter toSanta Claus. And it was then I truly realized how much I had put my friend through that night, and resolved to correct my mistake for his sake. Even if he causes me a great deal of suffering, I truly wish only the best for my...friend.Pinky: Awwwww. Now that's just the sweetest thing I ever heard! NARF!Hoist by His Own Petard: Often it seems that my plans fail due to a factor I simply failed to calculate for.Pinky: But what about those flaws I inadvertently point out?The Brain: Mere coincidence!Pinky: Or how about when you lose your temper and make a crucial mistake that topples the plan?The Brain: Must we also discuss how you constantly bungle your way into the plans and cause a critical failure at the last possible moment?Pinky: Oh. That is true. POIT!Indy Ploy: Hi, Pinky here to fill in this one. It turns out Brain isn't so good at...what's the word? Oh, yeah!Improvising!That's it! He cannot improvise! NARF!The Brain: Will you release your grip from the keyboard and add your anecdotal AFTER I finish?Pinky: Oop. My bad, Brain.The Brain: Thank you. Now, as I was saying...Insane Troll Logic: My plans make perfect sense! You are simply too unintellectual to understand!Pinky: Uhhhhh....The Brain: Present company included of course.Insufferable Genius: Few can often match my wit and intellect, so of course I must talk down to them. Though I am certainly far less blunt about it than the drivel of educational children's programming, especially that troublesome tyrannosaurus they call "Baloney."Pinky: I wholeheartedly agree. But, for the sake of argument, could you maybe say that insimpler words?(SMACK!)The Brain: You have been indulging yourself in far too muchof this website.Interspecies Romance: Pinky is committed in a relationship with a horse named Pharfignewton.Please, for the love of Einstein, do not make me try to guess how that works.Iron Butt Monkey: It is a miracle that my genetical enhancements have left me with a higher pain tolerance than most. Yet it does little to deter me.Pinky: Oh, I agree with that, Brain. It does wonders for the soul, but not for the moment. I mean, who else could afford to have a hundred ton safe dropped on them?Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Okay, it's me, Pinky again, but I have to say this plain and simple. NARF! That's not it, but I know the Brain. Sure, a lot of people might disagree with his goals to take over the world, but I can tell you that he always has the best interest of the people at heart. Why, I would even say that he's got the biggest heart around.The Brain: PINKY! That's...actually quite a beautiful sentiment.Keet: Pinky, undoubtedly. I hold no desires to act the way he does, hence he owns this trope wholeheartedly.Kindhearted Simpleton: A fool though Pinky may be, there isn't a malicious femur in his skeletal structure.Large Ham: My demeanor often tends to slip into this, especially when gloating about taking over the world. Pinky, on the other hand, is constantly like this.Pinky: TROZ!The Brain: As I said, constantly.Laughably Evil: I am not devoid of humor. I simply lack the patience to explain my reasoning.Let's Get Dangerous!: Under no circumstances are you ever to threaten Pinky's life. If you do, then, to shamelessly paraphrasethe being who gave rise to this trope,allow us to engage in life-threatening hostilities!noteDarkwing Duck: HEY! That's my line! You'll be hearing from my lawyers about this!Love Interest: Ah, Billie. We could have ruled the world together. Her intellect was equal to my own, despite her appearance and demeanor being reminiscent of...(looks at Pinky)another mouse I am acquainted with, who ultimately interested her more than myself.Pinky: I know how you feel, Brain. Ah, Pharfignewton. We could have gone on so many horsey rides together.Mad Libs Catchphrase: Whenever Pinky responds to myinquiries, he responds with some sort of nonsensical non sequitur.Pinky: It's a talent. POIT!Meaningful Rename: I haven't the slightest notion of what I was referred to as previously. I am only "The Brain", and that is all I wish to be known as.Pinky: And I was...uh...what was I called before I got my name?The Brain: Truly the world does not require such information.The Millstone: Egads yes, Pinky befits this trope in spades. My plans almost always fall apart thanks to his idiocy! But at least it's unintentional idiocy.Pinky: I try, Brain. Or rather, I don't try. HAHA. Good one.Minion with an F in Evil: If Pinky was to work with any other villain, I can guarantee he would fail simply by existing.Mobile-Suit Human: A common choice of my schemes involves such a device. I simply choose not to utilize the more realistic head.Pinky: But why, Brain?The Brain: The suit lacks proper air conditioning.Pinky: Ahhh. That makes sense.Morality Pet: I admit, Pinky's presence has helped to me to control some of my more...egotistical tendencies.Pinky: And that's why I'm here, Brain! NARF!Multiple-Choice Past: There has been no clear story as to how Pinky and I became who we are, perhaps in a way thatwould make one of the regulars at the studio proud.Pinky: Well then what is it, Brain?The Brain: One such recollection saw me torn from my parents home...a can with the world on it. Another saw me transformed alongside Snowball, yet another tale was where you and I first came into being as part of a secret experiment. And then the rebootshowed I was subjected to a "Learned Helplessness" experiment that led me to wish to take over the world.Truly there must be something I am missing.Pinky: Consistent writers?The Brain: For once, I agree.My Brain Is Big: Yes, I am aware that my cranium is significantly oversized. It is simply a visual manifestation of my genius.Pinky: Indeed, Brain, but don't go getting a big head or anything!Brain: (sighs) Whatever you say, Pinky.The Napoleon: I am aware of the irony, but I possess a far greater intellect thanNapoléon Bonaparteever did.Nice Mice: I don't consider myself a "nice" mouse. However, someday after I've turned the world into a paradise, you will realize that though my methods may be harsh,I've always had the best intentions. As for Pinky...Pinky: I wouldn't hurt a fly!The Brain: He speaks the truth. He wouldn't harm anything.Pinky: Speaking of flies, I was just playing with this cute little butterfly. ZORT!Noble Demon: My goals of world domination calls for a world where all are treated with kindness and dignity. You may see it as evil; I see it as necessary.Pinky: And as we all know, we could use a lot more fun. NARF!No Celebrities Were Harmed:The Brain: I am told my voice bears a striking resemblance toa film director of certain note, along withan actor famed for his horror roles.Pinky: And I'm aPython!No, wait, that's not right. I'm a mouse whose voice is based ona Python! That's it!The Brain: If you were a member of the species Pythonidae, I doubt you would survive. A python is supposed to posses the ability to consume his prey with the tightening of his coils. All you have done is loosen my grip on sanity.Pinky: I try, Brain.Paper-Thin Disguise: Often I put little effort to hide the fact I am but a simple mouse. However, asthe public clearly fails to recognize me as such, I have little need to do so.Pinky: He's just that good!The Brain: As for Pinky, he couldn't wear a disguise that would effectively hide his true identity if his being of existence was in jeopardy.Parental Abandonment: I was ripped from my parents at a tender young age. Thus, a subconscious goal of mine was to reunite with them. Unfortunately, bringing them to my intellectual level created...less than ideal results.Plucky Comic Relief: I wouldn't be surprised if Pinky was able to give other simpletons a marathon for their financials. I am always the straight man to said comic relief...provided my plan goes better than usual.Pragmatic Villainy: Far too often have the conquerors of history utilized brutish tactics to get their way, which ultimately resulted in their downfall. Hence, my tactics call for simplistic, but effective measures to sway the public to our cause.Pinky: Like what, Brain?The Brain: A few hypnotic suggestions, at worst.Rude Hero, Nice Sidekick: Rude would be an inappropriate term;I would prefer "Continuously Frustrated". It is Pinky, however, whose skeletal structure lacks any malicious intent within.Pinky: I have no idea what that means, but I agree 100%! ZORT!Sarcastic Confession: In case you failed to understand this beforehand, Pinky and I are genetically engineered laboratory mice bent on global domination. If you find this implausible, then congratulations; you've responded exactly as I desire.Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Quite often I will utilize prominent terms in the vernacular to properly enforce my deepest psychological desires of global domination, for it is imperative that (zzzzzzzz)—PINKY!Pinky: Whah! Oh. Sorry, Brain. You just put me to sleep with all that colorful language.The Brain: Perhaps it would be behoove you to read a dictionary.Shorter Means Smarter: As the smaller of the two, I happen to posses the greater intellect. It does poorly, however, when I find my stature lacking in situations involving higher shelving units.Pinky: And that's where I come in! NARF!The Brain: He may posses the brain cell of a Brassica Rapa, but his height comes in handy.Simpleton Voice:Must I really say it?Pinky: NARF!Smarter Than You Look: Somehow I think Pinky possess a great deal of intelligence than he lets on. Could he be the real genius? No, impossible! I am clearly the superior intellect!Pinky: Hey, Brain? I got my head stuck in the cage again. But it's alright. I can wait.The Brain: Yes, I am most definitely the smarter of the pair.Sophisticated as Hell: Sophisticated, yes. But I would rarely dabble in such vulgarities unless the situation called for it.Spell My Name with a "The": My full name isThe Brainfor a reason. Nevertheless, Brain is an acceptable term.Pinky: And I should know! I always just call him Brain! Should I call myselfThe Pinkythough?The Brain:It would be an accurate assessment of your character.Pinky:Why, thank you, Brain!TROZ!Spock Speak: My speech pattern is indisputably formal, dispassionate and complex. As for the comparison with a character who is considered a paragon of logic, I find it flattering in the extreme.Pinky: There you go with all that fancy talk, Brain! And you do it so well! NARF!Take Over the World:I would certainly expect you to have been more aware of this by now. Pinky and I have made many attempts at this, to create a better tomorrow, yet it seemsour goals are always met with a fateful sleight of hand.Technical Pacifist: I may desire toTake Over the World, but I have no desire to cause harm to any other life forms if need be. It would certainly be a waste of energy and time, not to mention my rule will be benevolent!Pinky: Gee, Brain. What about (gets smacked by Brain)—maybe I shouldcome back later.Tender Tears: By Galileo's grave, does Pinkycry a lot. You could make an entire ocean with the amount of tears he's cried! Hmmm. That might not be a bad idea to force the world to make me their ruler...Pinky! Get the onions!Pinky: Are we making a sandwich, Brain? Egad!Too Dumb to Live: I once recall, when ourparent showswapped our roles, that Pinky was swallowed whole by a cat, yet failed to realize it. Fortunately, he didn't end up with that ratherannoyingly foolishchild Mindyand hermother, who is clearly in need of child care courses.Pinky: I've just never had problems with cats, Brain.The Brain: It's even a miracle you survived that.Pinky: Well of course! I'm a cartoon.Too Kinky to Torture: One handy aspect of having Pinky as a sidekick is that his stupidity prevents himself from being tortured. Somehow.Pinky: I just love everything! I can't possibly hate anything!The Brain: ...I'm going to have to hurt you.Trademark Favorite Food:Please, waste your time guessing what we like to eat.Pinky: It's cheese, Brain! (SMACK!)The Brain: Why do I even bother teaching you the meaning of sarcasm?TV Genius:No, I do not waste my time watching that drivel. I can clearly survive just fine in the outside world without the need to allow my intellect to rotbecause of those intellectual insults they call programming.Pinky: Hey, Brain! Look!He got hit on a head with a coconut!HAHAHAHAHAHAH!The Brain: As you can see,it does wonders for my compatriot.Took a Level in Jerkass: I would find my demeanor grow more considerably intolerant to failure as the years went by, asthe man supplying my voicetestified to. Few would blame me if my constant failures of taking over the world would leave me in a much worse demeanor than when I started!Pinky: I wouldn't even go that far, Brain. I'd more say you just... became more determined than ever to accomplish your goal! NARF!Undying Loyalty: No matter what obstacles we face, Pinky always remains steadfast to my cause.Pinky: And I always will!Uplifted Animal: Obviously. As I am a genetically engineered lab mouse, I posses this trope to its full extent.As does Pinky, believe it or not.Pinky: TROZ!Verbal Tic: Clearly, if you haven't read through the entirety of this page, you don't understand how those random utilization of NARF, TROZ, POIT, and ZORT mean anything to Pinky.Pinky: I'm a creature of habit, Brain!Villain Ball: Some say that I took hold of this theoretical spherical object in "Mousechurian Candidate", although as always,my goal was to create a better world for everyone.Pinky: Well, Brain, you weren't that nice to Julia when you messed with her mind and all. And didn't you say you wanted to use children to build bombs, or something? POIT!The Brain:Sometimes the end justifies the means, Pinky.Villain Protagonist: Villainy? Hardly. Though I suppose my goal of world domination would fall within that category, I assure you, it is merely for the benefit of all. Under my guidance, we can finally achieve a world without the current issues we face, for I possess the greatest intellect of them all!YES!Pinky: Uh, Brain? I don't think the people are going to see it that way.Villains Never Lie: I am hardly ever dishonest. If questioned about my true identity, I always givean honest answer about how I'm a genetically engineered mouse. Well,until the reboot, when I did hide my identity while posing as a prominent Senator.Vitriolic Best Buds: Do I care for Pinky? Yes. Will I express this from time to time? Of course. But under no circumstances will I allow his idiocies to exist so long as I am in his presence.Pinky: And it's made me the mouse I am today! TROZ!The Brain:Sure, Pinky. It has indeed.Vocal Dissonance: Given how you seem toworship talking rodents, one might expect that my voice be as minuscule as my body. Yet I instead speak in a manner similar toOrson Welles, with a mix ofVincent Pricefor good measure.Pinky: I, on the other hand,avert thisentirely! I sound just as one might expect a mouse to sound!Vocal Evolution: Upon our return to television, my voice register experienced a slight increase. I experienced this earlier in my lifespan, where I tended to have more mannerisms ofOrson Welles. My later years saw me lean more intoVincent Pricefor further inspiration.Pinky: And I used to sound a lot dumber and slower. I just sped myself a little bit and didn't nearly NARF as much as I used to!The Watson: Pinky is this to mySherlock Holmes. He does all the recording, and I do all the thinking. Simple as that.Well-Intentioned Extremist:The Brain: As I mustfurther reiterate, my goals are not villainous. I do not seek toeliminate half of all life simply to prove myself correct, nor do Iwish to rise to power for the sake of it. All I want isto make the world a better place.Pinky: You know, it's funny you mentioned those guys, Brain. There'ssomeone who soundslike you sometimes!The Brain: I am aware of the irony.To demonstrate how our goals would have succeeded, ourfellow Speilbergian creationaltered history by preventing the attack on Pearl Harbor. In doing so, I successfully became President of the United States. Under my guidance, cold fusion is successful, I was able to convince thosefools from across the lot in Burbankto perform proper guidance in opening their resort in France, thus ensuring it would succeed beyond a shadow of a doubt,a certain actorwas prevented from having a career,another was allowedto shine in the spotlight, anda certain radio hostis now working for charity. Now you will have no doubts as to my brilliance. Besides, at least my goals are far less malicious than a certainSnowball.Wholesome Crossdresser: Not myself, but Pinky. He can disguise himself as a female very well, in spite of his other shortcomings.Workaholic: Little times do I give myself the pleasure of rest. Only when the world is at peace will I give myself a much needed vacation.Pinky: And I've picked out this nice little spot inHawaiʻi! It's got sun, sand, beaches, plenty of water, and lots of coconuts! It's gonna be so much fun! NARF!The Brain: Please, Pinky. Do not count your Gallus Gallus Domesticus' before they hatch.Pinky: Say, what's this button do?The Brain: PINKY! DON'T TOUCH THAT!(BOOM!)Pinky: Oops. Heh heh. Sorry, Brain. I guess that was something I wasn't supposed to touch, was I?The Brain: It matters not, Pinky. Though we may have been foiled, our goal is still in reach. Now come! We must make plans for tomorrow night!Pinky: Why, Brain? What are we gonna do tomorrow night?The Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!(They're dinky! They're Pinky and the Brain! Brain! Brain! Brain! Brain! Brain! Brain! Brain! Brain!)

Uhh...Cool and Unusual Punishment: Uhhh, suspending those two idiots might give me a break, but it gives me no satisfaction becausethey like it!

Well, I'll have you know that I have! Many times! I've tried expelling them, I've tried pushing them back to elementary, I tried getting them arrested, I even once swore they were dead, which was what c-caused that horrible heart attack seeing them a-alive! Uhhh, but they always come back! Always! There's just no getting rid of those bastards!Goofy Print Underwear: SH-SHUT UP! Little pain in the ass! I already told you, that was behind closed doors! My underwear is n-neither your or those two idiots' business! Uhhh, yeah!Hair-Trigger Temper: I-It doesn't take much to piss me off! Especially if your name is "Beavis and Butt-Head".

If I have a chance t-to humiliate those two idiots, I-I'll take it!

I FINALLY got one over those t-two bastards! I-It may be a childish prank,but I DESERVED a win for o-once in my life!Uhhh yeah!Pet the Dog: I-I was shocked when Beavis actually apologized to me when he was b-being disruptive! T-That was the first time (sadly the ONLY time) that one of those bastards was being decent for once and I-I even let Beavis off without punishment. T-Too bad that was only for that ONE episode. Uhhh, no... B-But why do I still feel likeat least HE might do it again?E-even then, would it be sincere? I m-mean, does that dolt evenknowwhat 'sorry' means?Well...

It's OUR school, so that's OUR job!Uhhh, I guess I did once try to help them remember how to u-urinate after they 'forgot' how to. I have NO idea HOW they could have done that, b-but I guess they're just that STUPID!Sanity Slippage: Uhhh, those little bastards drive me crazy!

O-or have another heart attack!Scare 'Em Straight: Uhhh, I revived the Scared Straight program to show our worst students the hell they're in for if they d-don't get back in line. And you can bet I sent Beavis and Butt-Head on that prison tour as well. But those little bastardsstilldidn't get the message! They ended up liking it! Uhhh, if only they would get arrested for real! Uhhh yeah! T-that would be the day! B-better yet,executed!Uh huh huh huh huh!Verbal Tic: Uhhh, I-I don't know what you're talking about! T-this is all part of my n-nervous stuttering! Uhhh, yeah!Villainous Breakdown: D-Don't remind me when those two imbeciles caused me to have a genuine nervous breakdown t-that landed me in an insane asylum! Or when t-they caused me to have that heart attack! And you still h-have the nerve to call me "v-villainous"?! Uhhh, yeah!Villainous Friendship: What is with all t-these things calling me a villain? I-Is there just no better way to put it? Uhhh, well, I guess Buzzcut is a little more tough and violent, but he's the only other person who can't stand those boys as much as me, and he'd be glad to help me out with them, like with that prank. Besides, SOMEONE needs to keep all those students in check, t-those two can't be the ONLY little bastards out there!Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: I-I WOULD shoot those two bastards a long time ago if it wasn't for the law!!! Y-You don't mean literally shoot them but expel them from school if they cause me too much grief. Uhhh, I TRIED, dumbass! Uhhh, yeah! But they just keep coming back! T-They're a couple of parasites! T-They don't even LIKE school, so I-I don't know why they even bother coming back i-in the first place! Uhhh, yeah!Would Hurt a Child: L-like I said above, i-if it wasn't for the damn law, I would have KILLED Beavis and Butt-head a l-long time ago! Uhhh, yeah! But of course, that a-and school standards have other plans, so the best I can d-do is strangle those two idiots! Uhhh, yeah! S-sometimes, we don't even let other people hurt them at school because WE'RE supposed to do that here! Just ask Buzzcut!Beavis and Butt-Head show up, snickeringHey, McDicker. Heh heh heh!Uhhhh, oh NO! It's THOSE b-bastards! I-I'm not even safe on my own page! Beavis and Butt-Head, get the hell off my page now before Ikillyou!Uh, can you, like, shut the hell up? Uh huh huh huh huh.Yeah, shut the hell up, McDicker! Heh heh. We're not in school, so you can't, like, tell us what to do. Heh heh.So what? T-this ismypage! Uhhh, y-you two morons have your own, s-so get lost!Hey, Beavis. Check this out. Uh huh huh huh. I'm gonna, like, "mantle-lize" McDicker's page. Huh huh huh huh.Heh heh. Me too. Heh heh!This is gonna be cool! Huh huh huh huh.Butt-Head changes certain parts of the page, such as replacing a third of the tropes listed on here with "MUKDIKRS A DOORCK", all the while laughing.Yeah, yeah! Heh heh! Try setting it onFIRE!Beavis joins in with the "mantle-ism" (vandalism), randomly pressing keys to type up a huge capitalized, garbled, incoherent mess, angering McVicker further.Uhhh, stop! W-what the hell do you two think you're doing?! I'm gonna kill you two b-bastards!YOU WON'T HAVE TO, SIR! I HAVE MY OWN PAGE NOW!O-Oh, thank god! I'm so glad you made it here, too!NOW HOW 'BOUT I GET THESE BOYS' ASSES BACK TO THEIRS?!AHH! Heh. DAMMIT, NO!UHHHH, huh huh.

A-are we somewhere bad?Oh, it's bad, Morty - it's really bad.Ooooooh...So one day a bunch of a-*burp*-assholes decide to take a big shit on the Internet filled with a bunch of descriptions of references they got from movies and TV shows, onlyit turned really in on itselfand the assholes - sorry, "tropers" - even used these references to describethemselves.Oh, jeez Rick,I-I-I don't really know what someone wo-would wanna like...ruin their lifedoing something stupid like that, I mean, i-i-it sounds kinda dumb honestly, like, uh,why the hell would anyone give a crap about re-occurring elements i-i-in TV shows and stupid shit like that?People are dumb, Morty.

Like, y'know, a bunch of people trying way too hard to be, y'know, funny and write in the characters' voices,but they always just end up exaggerating certain, uh, character tics and make them sound like cheap caricatures of themselves, y'know?Morty, shut the hell up!

I drag my grandson Morty along here BECAUSE I CAN, and screw around with all different sorts of people in all different sorts of places and blah-blah-blah-blah.Yeah, and the-they get really weird sometimes, like, uh...oh! You remember that place where chairs were people?Ugh...Morty, there's probably, like, a hundred wikis that talk about the number of teeth in our mouths or the number of pimples on Jerry's left ass cheek. We did the stupid thing, now let's move on. Oh, and if you've got a PROBLEM with how this section is ending,I just plowedYour Momsideways last night, so suck it.You didn't have to go that far, Rick - I'm just saying.Oh, grow a pair, Morty.Oh, fuck me, there's MORE of this?!You know, maybe they're interested in our family since a lot of times they end up being a part of our adventures?*burp* Yeah, sure,knock yourself out.Okay, great, thanks. OL...so there's my dad Jerry —AKA the human dishrag...are we really gonna do this now? Anyway, his name is JERRY, he's my dad, and...he's kind of a wimp...an awful lot of the time, but he's got his moments where he does cool stuff, like—Read the character page, boom. Done. Next.*sigh* OK, so then there's my mom Beth—MY DAUGHTER.Uh, yeah. She got married to Jerry—AKA the human trashbag.—and she's smart and a doctor—Animal doctor—and...andgo read her character page, I guess. I also have a sister named Summer.Character page....fine. Fine! Hey, why do you, me, Mom, and Dad get our own character pages to ourselves, whileSummer has to share one with the rest of our family?Because Summer is still seeking popularity, and Jerry is too much of a worthless piece of SHIT… wait he does havea character pagenow? GODDAMN IT!Aw, man. Can we go home now?!A-almost, Morty. It looks like we have to make it through the list of tropes these people seem to think apply to us.Oh, and uh... somebody decided to talk like a Mr. Meeseeks and set upa character page dedicated to them. 'Even somehow managed to get their hands on a box for it.That sounds about right - talking like someone whose only reason for existing is to die.Boo-ya!*burp* So, yeah. Tropes that "apply" to Morty and me include:The Alcoholic:Yeah*burp*, no shit, Sherlock.Animesque:Not us, but our counterpartsRick-WTM72 and Shogun Morty. Made by thecompanybehind thatreally weird-ass anime movie from the '80s.Yeah. I mean what the *urrrrrp* fuck was even that about?!Then there'sus taking on Genocidermade by thecrewbehind theLupin anime series.Trust me, Morty. If they *buuuuuuurp* had designed Jessica after Miss Airbags, a.k.a.Fujiko Mine, you'd be carrying your dick in a ...*burp* wheelbarrow!Anime Hair:More like "generic mad scientist" hair, butif that's all you people have to compare with, then that sure says a hell of a lot right there.Anti-Hero:Say it, Morty.*sigh* "Rick's not a villain, but he shouldn't be your hero. He's more like a demon, or asuper fucked-up god". To be fair, It does still pretty much sum him up.The Anti-Nihilist:"Nobody exists on purpose, nobody really belongs anywhere, everybody's going to die. Come watch TV?" That's you, Morty - that's what you sound like.Yeah? W-well, it's a hell of a lot better than going through the-the universe like you're on top of everything WHEN YOU WERE THE ONE THAT SCREWED THINGS UP TO THE POINT WHERE I SAID THAT THAT TO MY OWN—I mean, not my *own* own sister, but—but—god damn it.Y-Yeah, I-I think they got the point there. Geez.Okay,but it's not like you don't do part of this yourself, you know.Yeah, it's called beingin-betweenfor a reason.Bamboo Technology:Since I'm a fu—*urp*—ing genius, I can pretty much make do with whatever's on hand to get shit done. Like, uh...oh! Remember when I turned myself into a pickle, Morty? And then I like used, uh, rat muscle in order to m-make myself a bo—*burp*—ody?I know you did it to get out of *family counseling*, Rick. I know how awkward the session was when you showed up as a pickle, and how awkward the car ride home was.Geez, someone should get counseling on taking that stick out of their ass.Berserk Button:So, there are two ways to get on my shit list - either cross me or shit on Pirates of the Pancreas - the same thing. And...messing with my grandchildren. Do those two things, I will end you.Uh, I personally don't really get too pissed, but I do really hate it when people go allMoral Guardians.Everyone who's smart does, Morty.Also being forced into commercials without our consent. Looking at you,PringlesandWendy's!Beware the Nice Ones:Trust me, Morty has his limits. Even I know that.Brilliant, but Lazy:When I'm not out adventuring with Morty or working on a project, there is really nothing I like more than just chilling on the couch and watchingFamily MattersorBall Fondlers, but my annoying family keeps interrupting me at every turn with unimportant crap that doesn't matter and is a waste of my talents, and won't go away until I offer some solution. And then they have the gall to also come complaining when their own stupidity causes the solution to backfire!Jeez, Rick, if you would actually put just a little thought into, y'know, actually offer a proper solution to our problems rather than pawning off just whatever mad haphazard quick fix that happens to pop into your head first, I get the feeling that a lot of disasters could have been avoided, y'know?Don't get smart with me, Morty!Catchphrase:Rick tends to say "Wubba-Lubba-Dub-Dub!" a lot.What are you talking about, Morty? I don't say that anymore.Okay, well he used to.I think it's because it means "I am in great pain, please help me."but I don't know really.To be *burp* fair, one reason was that I was gonna make "I don't give a fuck" my new catchphrase at the end of Season 1, but I-I don't know why I also stopped saying it before it could even start. 'Guess I reallydon'tgive a fuck.I also say "don't think about it" a lot, because...well, a lot of people don't already, so why ruin a good thing?I think mine is "Oh Jeez, Rick" whenever I get stressed or worried.The Chessmaster:My *burp* escape from Jail, was also an excuse to uh, get rid of the intergalactic federation and to divorce Morty's parents.Don't forget the Szechuan sauce, Rick. I-I-I still don't know what that's about Rick.I know. And I feel sorry for you Morty.Cyborg:I'm *urp* so stuffed full of cybernetics, they won't let me on certain alien ships without behavior modification injections anymore.Yeah, I-I'm still fully human, I...I think.Trust me, Morty, if it happens, you'll know.Death Seeker:I guess I'm kind of *urp* jaded about the whole "dying" thing, since I've been through enough shit in enough places that it kinda takes the sting out of it. I mean, look - there's an entire MULTIVERSE full of Rick Sanchez's - even if most of them are assholes, ESPECIALLY the one whokilled my wife Diane and my original Beth- so if I ate it, it wouldn't...wouldn't...Matter?Fuck you, Morty.Expy:What the hell is an Expy?It means, Morty we're *urrrp* cribbed from an'80s blockbuster summer hit. But don't get so fucking worked up over it. Every fictional character has been cribbed off for years.Flintstones?Honeymooners.Jetsons?Blondieand it's not that old music band.Batman?Shadow,Zorro(He even says it himself), andPhantom.Pokémon?Ultraseven.noteHow do you even know what that is?TNTaired a dub in the '90s, whichlet Space Ghost use clips from it.Fox Mulder?Carl Kolchak.Lisbeth Salander?Pippi goddamned Longstocking. Hell even thosecreepy-ass blue-haired girlsandthe girl that inspired themare basically a *urrrp* JapaneseWednesday Addams. And a good percentage of fighting game and beat 'em up characters were based onthis guywho's basicallyBruce LeemeetsMad Max.Um, okay, sothat guy Shinji, y'know, who I'm also compared to along with you and his dad, is basicallySpider-Manwith a giant robot instead of superpowers, andSailor Moonis basically a JapaneseShe-RawithWonder Womanthrown in.Hit the nail in the *burp* coffin.Right, and what aboutFamily GuyandThe Simpsons?Bingo.And now I got one in the form of some *buuurrrp* jackoff namedRand Ridley, though he's more of areally fucked up version. Which is saying something, since I'malreadysupposed to be a fucked up version of someone from that 80's movie I just mentioned. Sure I can be a *urrrp* dick most of the time but even Ihavelimits and karma can and will bite me in the balls and I still love my daughter. This fuckwad on the other hand destroyed his daughter's life in more ways than one and gives less of a shitthan even I would.Erasing her childhood memories just so you can get to the topis one reason to put you on my *uuurrrrrp* shit list,and don't think we didn't noticeChristian Slater, who already guest starred withusfirst! Sure it was as Vance, but still. I'd kick your shit in if it weren't for you being on adifferent network, but don't push your luck asshole. Karma can andwillstomp on your nuts someday. Again, I would know.Trust me, Mr. Ridley. Internal family blood feuds don't end well. Geez, I'd askHeihachi Mishimaon that topic but he's dead.Plus he didn't have a page anyway. I mean, even theothertwodid at some point.Uh, Rick, I think Netflix just killed Inside Job. Does that, like, count as karma for Mr. Ridley, or at leastsome extra karma to go with what already happens to him?In a meta way, Morty, yes it fucking does! Suck on that, biatch!Friendless Background:Yeah, I-I didn't really have a lot of friends before Rick came back. Or any, really.*burp* D-don't sweat it, Morty, most people are i-*urp*diots anyway. People weren't exac-exactly lining up to hang out with me back in the day either. Who needs 'em?A God Am I:Even Morty admits it.Rick, I said that you were more like-I know, Morty, close enough. 'Quote's down inAnti-Hero, folks - he said it, no take-backs!*ugh*The Hedonist:AW YEAH, now we're talking!! I gotta look up Unity again one of these days, having sex with an entire football stadium was a new rush!Aw jeez Rick, I-I don't think she wants to see you aga-SHUT UP MORTY!! IF I WANTED ADVICE ON FALLING IN LOVE WITH A SOCK FULL OF LUBE, I'LL ASK FOR IT!!Horrible Judge of Character:Heheheheh, this one's self-inflicted! Would you...would you believe Morty's s-so messed up that he...that he thought having empathy was a t-*BELCH*-oxic character trait? Th-that's how he be-be-becamean even bigger piece of shitwhen we-we got a detox.Limited Wardrobe:Hey, animation is *urp* expensive, it saves a ton of time and effort for us to wear the same shitty clothes every day.Um, Rick, what are you talking about?Don't worry about it, Mr-Yellow-Shirt-And-Jeans.Loser Son of Loser Dad:Before Rick arrived, I was thiscloseto becoming my dad. I slowly but surely got out of this. Besides, it's been overused in all media.I say you're still a *burp* work in progress, Morty. Not that you aren't already ahead.Nice Mean And In Between:Summer becomes in-between whenever she joins us and I guess I'm the nice one.And obviously, I'm the god-damned mean one by the way how I look, talk and act!Obnoxious In-Laws:My Dad sees Rick as a burden to our household though Rick fires back that my Dad is a tapeworm that knocked up Mom with his "sorry-ass spermatozoa".It's the truth, Morty. Now we gotta find a future husband for your sister that'll override Jerry's sorry-ass genes.Other Me Annoys Me:Jeez, I try not to judge, but what's with all the Mortys on the Citadel, anyway? I-it's like they're just s-shallow copies of me with like, with a random gimmick tacked on, you know? Like, Hammerhead Morty, what was up with that guy? Or Dancing Lawyer Morty? I-I mean, who tries to show off their pog collection during a friggin trial?!Preaching to the *burp* choir here, Morty.Ow! T-the Hell was that for?!Making damn sure you weren't a *burp* Pringles robot!As for me, in the past, I was trying to invent my portal gun when another Rick Sanchez came in and offered me the means to invent interdimensional travel so I could travel between any conceivable reality with only the company of myself — li-literally. This encounter made me have second thoughts about the pursuit of science and decide to dedicate my time to my family, but the other Rick wouldn't have it andbombed my family to bits when we were about to go out for ice cream. This drove me to invent interdimensional travel and I used it to search for that fucking bastard for years,but he eludes me to this day.What about the Council of Ricks, Rick?THEY'RE ALL *BRAP* ASSHOLES TOO, MORTY!Pet the Dog:While Rick clearly has some personality issues, there are some moments where he protects me and m-my family, or does nice things like taking Jerry to that theme park.Morty, if you mention that one more time, I will *burp* fucking drop-kick you onto theWalking Deadnightmare page.All threeof 'em.Seriously, I don't feel like talking about it that much. It's complicated. Things just didn't go exactly as planned. 'Even made sure it was somewhere where not even his own stupidity would kill him. Man that whole thing felt a little weird.Product Placement:Aw, Rick, I don't even like Pringles that much! And I don't care too much for Wendy's, either!They paid a bundle for these stupid ads, Morty, now get going! Grandpa hasn't given a refund before, and he's not about to start now!!*sigh* Can I at least get a PS5 after this one?*burp* Sure, the overprized, overhyped video game bullshit is all yours, now get to dancing and earn your keep! We have aFortnitegig.Reed Richards Is Useless:Yeah, thanks for the *burp*self-esteem boost, asshat! Screw humanity, they can figure it out for themselves just like I did. I mean, look at that douchebag President, his tech was still lame, but miles ahead of everyone else, just not up to my standards. Get to work, you slackers!Straw Nihilist:STRAW?! Aint nothin'- *burp* straw about me, motherfuckers!!Just because I'm a nihilist doesn't mean I have to LIKE it!!!Took a Level in Badass:If you think I'm the same Morty from season 1, it's time for a reality check, bitch! If you come in the way of my love interest or threaten my family I willFUCKING END YOU!Who the hell do you think I am?Meg Griffin?! Status quo ain't God here, bitch!Damn, Morty! Take it *urrp* easy there!Trademark Favorite Food:If there is anything in the multiverse that comescloseto justifying the to-*uuhhhrr*-ment of existence as opposed to the horror of non-being, it's McDonald'sMulanSzechuan dipping sauce. I WANT THAT SZECHUAN DIPPING SAUCE, MORTY!! THAT'S MY ONE-ARMED MAN!Aw jeez, I heard you the first time, Rick! I don't know what you want from me, I wasn't even born when that stupid movie came out! And even if I was, it's just another sanitized bastardization of a fairytale/folklore.And I think you even got maybe a couple dimensions hyped up for it!Tsundere:Rick is Type-A, where he's mean on the outside but deep down he genuinely cares for me and the rest of the famil-WHAT DID THIS PAGE JUST CALL ME!? IS THAT ANOTHER FUCKING ANIME TROPE?! You trying to lump me in with the likes of Soryu or Narusegawa or whatever fucked up anime chick they have these days?!Aw, jeez Rick, even if they were, I definitely wouldn't go withthe second one.Y-y-yeah, what was it you calledthat one version of heror whatever?The Intolerable Bitch? That's gotta say *burp*somethingcoming from you and some other nerds.Verbal Tic:I guess I do say "Aw jeez" a lot...*burp* Don't-don't look at me, Morty. My belching isn't a tic, it's caused by an unrelated alcohol problem.Aaaaand we are OUT OF HERE, bitches! Morty, you - *urp* - got any last words you wanna say?N-not really, Grandpa Rick. Actually, I'm just kinda tired...after talking so much about myself.At least you're honest about it, Morty - and to the rest of you who wrote and read this stuff...GET A FUCKING LIFE! We out!

In other languages, this page can be read in the voices of Akio Suyama in Japanese, Marcelo Campos or Marcelo Pissardini in Brazilian Portuguese, andBenjamín RiveraorAlfonso Obregón Inclánin Latin American Spanish.)Well, well, well... What do we have here? Some nerd browsing a website called "TV Tropes"? And you wanna write a biography about me? Well, why didn't ya say so?My name is Roger Klotz. I live in Bluffington with my mom and my cat, Stinky. Sounds easy, right? Honestly, my life was pretty boring while I was in grade school. Sure, I picked on the losers around me and I got held back a few grades, but it just was the same old routine... Until the dayFunniemoved into town.From day one, he was a loser. And not just any loser, either. He was a Capital "L" loser (and still is!)! Oh boy, I remember the day where I tricked him into thinking there was a Neematoad at "Stintson's Pond." He was such a klutz! Although, there was that one time where I held him a party to celebrate his first year in Bluffington, but that doesn't mean he and I are friends now, got it?But then, seventh grade rolled around. During summer vacation, my mom told me one thing that would change my life forever..."We're gonna be rich!!!!"Yeah, you heard that right. The poor kid becomes rich overnight. What are the odds of that?! Though to be fair, my mom got the money after Mr. Bluff bought the trailer park, but that's besides the point! We finally got the money that could change our lives forever! Almost immediately, my mom bought the house right next door to Mr. Bluff's, and I got myself my own personal limo. Who else do you know that has it, hm?There will be spoilers here in this page, so don't blame me if I end up ruining stuff for you. Also, if I end upwasting your time by having you jot down everything to know about me... well, it's not my problem.Here's my trope list. I'm not gonna repeat myself after this, so you better take notes!Adaptational Nice Guy: Well, I may have picked on Funnie less often when we got into middle school, but that doesn't mean I didn't spare him!Alpha Bitch: Yes,even guys like me can fit this description.Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: More like "embarrassing grandparents". When I was thirteen, my grandma made me go on that show, "Kiddie Korral" because to her, I'm practically a toddler. ...What?Annoying Laugh: Ahh-hahahahaha!Berserk Button: If you hurt my cat Stinky, I will cream you.The Bully: Hey, I'm notthatbad. But at least I didn't become a goody two-shoes unlikethat Mexican girl from Royal Woods. What a wuss!Disappeared Dad: Remember when I mentioned that I live with my mom? Well, that's because my parents separated when I was only a baby. My dad lives in Bloatsburg (you know, the city where Funnie used to live), but he never decided to visit me!Dub Name Change: People in Latin America like to call me "Rufo" for some reason. What kind of a stupid name is that?!Everyone Has Standards: I may like to pick on the other kids at school, especially Funnie, but at least I don't actually hit people. Unlikethat fat kid from Colorado...Held Back in School: Yeah, I was in the sixth grade for three years. What's so important about that?Laughing at Your Own Jokes: ...Well, at leastmysense of humor is more "fosisticated" compared to you numbskulls.Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Me? Afraid of snakes? Ha! You wish! Though there was that one time where Doug thought it was a good idea to show me one while we were in Bluff Scouts together, but that doesn't count!Aaaaaaaand that's all I got for ya. You wanted more? Well, too bad! That's all you're getting from me.Sayonara, suckers!Ha-hahahahahaha!!!

I'm a weirdo, and I clean up nice.(This page is best read in the voice of Breanna Yde or Izabella Alvarez. In other languages: Betzabe Jara in Spanish)Hey, lame-os! The name's Ronalda Anne Santiago, but I prefer everyone call me Ronnie Anne. I used to live in Royal Woods, a small city-town somewhere in Michigan. I'm pretty much known for being the girlfriend-I mean good friend of Lincoln Loud, who still lives there inthe Loud Housewith his ten sisters.Back in Royal Woods, I was known and feared as the toughest girl in the elementary school I went to. I was a fearsome prankster, a powerful force in the school's social circle. I pretty much had the school under my fists, and it was my destiny to rule the world!!That sounded bad, didn't it?I mean, I was a bit of a troublemaker, especially in Lincoln's case. You see, I had a bit of a cr-cr-cr-cr....wish of friendship for Lincoln. What I saw in him was he was kind, caring, supportive, encouraging; and I decided I wanted to be a part of that. Unfortunately, I was a bit too shy and arrogant to know what counted as the proper way to do so, so I did the same old schtick with him. I humiliated him, pranked him, pulverized him and pretty made it unsafe for him to be there. I'mgetting the idea that I probably shouldn't have done any of that.But don't tell anyone!Anyway, Lincoln had enough of my routine and marched up to me, and he told me he wanted to meet up with me to finish the whole thing. I was brave on the outside, but it had me freaking out internally. Did my pranking work? Did he finally want to tie the kno-I mean, be a friend to a girl like me? Apparently so, because when he and I met precisely as planned, he kissed me. Right on the lips. I felt a full rush of emotion going on, and I freaked out so much, I punched him. Right in the eye. I still don't know what the heck I was thinking when I did that. After that, I decided to give Lincoln a steak for his eye, as well as a note with my phone number on it.Since then, he and I have been talking. We're good friends for now, but he will be mine one day! I mean, never mind. Heh.However, one day, the pack of wild pigs that made up most of the males in Lincoln's group learned about our secret dating thing, and predictably they started teasing him about it, to the point where he said I was rude and gross and totally annoying. Now, I know he didn't mean it, but I thought he did, and that hurt me so much, I cried. And yes, I can cry. The last time I remember crying before thatwas the first time I saw Titanic.Anyway, I told my brother Bobby about that (oh my god, I can't believe I forgot to mention Bobby was my brother.) And he broke up with Lincoln's sister Lori. Thankfully, they set up a double date at Jean Juan's French Mex Buffet in order to make things right. And everything was going fine until those same wild pigs showed and forced Lincoln to insult me again. However, just when it looked like the day was going to end badly, Lincoln made a pretty big speech about how actions speak louder than words, and kissed me again. That may have just been the best day of my life. But we decided to keep our dating private, so we won't get teased. And that's the gist of it, really.However, I moved away to live with my bigger family,the Casagrandes, even though I didn't really want to, but you probably already know all about that. You could say I've been living a pretty crazy life there, almost as much as Lincoln. In fact, I'm loving it there: I've got a pretty caring family, a cool area to skateboard, a best friend in Sid Chang... Don't worry, I'm still in touch with Lincoln. We even do a few vlogs here and there. Pretty cool, right?If you want, you can read about my personality traits, and what makes me...well, me. You know, Lincoln was right. It is a lot of fun talking to you guys. But once you're done here,RUN!!RUN FROM THIS WEBSITE AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!All the stuff I am:555: My phone number is 555-0121. I gave it to Lincoln after apologizing for clocking him in the eye, and it's still that way even after I moved over to Great Lakes.Affectionate Nickname: Bobby calls me "Nini". It's very embarrassing. My dad also calls me "Ranita."Affection-Hating Kid: Look, just because I have considered kissing Lincoln a few times before, and I really, really loved those two kisses between him and medoesn't mean I like being kissed!Also, I hate seeing Lori and Bobby being all mushy and lovey-dovey! Blech!Beef Bandage: As I said before, I threw a steak for Lincoln after I gave him a black eye. I also threw another one to him so that his "friends" would stop thinking that I was his girlfriend (even though I kinda am) and so they'd stop teasing him.Berserk Button: Unless you're a member of myfamilia, or your name is Lincoln Loud, do. Not. Kiss me.Birds of a Feather: One time Lincoln decided to go to Gus's Games N' Grub over the Sadie Hawkins dance, and he thought I was gonna ask him out, so he ducked me. To be honest, if the roles were reversed, I would've done the same. So, it's water under the bridge now.Breaking the Fourth Wall: After I moved in with the Casagrandes, Lincoln taught me how to talk to you guys like he does.The Bully: I am not a bully...at least not anymore, but I... admit I picked on Lincoln constantly, and was the toughest girl in school. Think of me asthat mean kid from Bluffington, but less on the insults, and more on the shoves. I grew out of this after I first showed up, as in slight teasing.Color Motifs: Ilovethe color purple, and almost everything I wear is purple - except for my pants. I even have purple highlights in my hair.Commonality Connection: Me and Lincoln bonded over being equally disgusted by Bobby and Lori's super cheesy romantic couple-y-ness. Lincoln was surprised to find that "squeal" he actually really liked hanging out with me. Plus, we both also play video games and visit Gus's Games N' Grub.Deadpan Snarker: I am a snarking machine.Did You Think I Can't Feel?: As I said before, I may be a grouchy tomboy and known as the toughest girl in school, but I'm so sensitive about Lincoln's opinion of me that he's able to hurt my feelings quite easily. Again, just like Titanic.Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Lincoln says that when his sisters found out I was bullying him, they thought I was a dude and readied themselves for retribution. When he told them I was a girl, they all started squealing and thought I was bullying him because I lo-wanted to be his friend.Expy: You guys think that before I started having a healthier relationship with Lincoln, I was basically similar to oneHelga G. Pataki. I have no idea who she is. Lincoln says he'sfought her beforeand evenraced with her alongside Clyde, but hereallydoesn't wanna elaborate.Foil:I'm this to Bobby on how we treat the ones we lo-lo-lo-lo...care a lot about, since I treat Lincoln rather roughly.I'm also this to Lame-O's cool sister Lynn. Though we don't hang out much, she's just as rompin' and stompin' as me! But... come on, at least I know when to cool it. We both have freckles and are tough tomgirls who bully Lincoln. While my bullying is now just friendly banter, Lynn still wouldn't hesitate to threaten to give Linc a knuckle sandwich.Full-Name Basis: My actual name is Ronalda Anne Santiago, but I'm almost exclusively referred to as "Ronnie Anne" by others (the only exception is in that dumbsongLincoln's classmates teased him with).Gasshole: Not now— thank goodness! — but according to Abuelo, I used to fart a lot when I was a baby. Donottell anyone!The Ghost: I was never seen when I was first heard of in the third episode of the show where I come from.Give Geeks a Chance: I'm dating Lincoln, *squee!* who is agigantecomic book, sci-fi/fantasy, and video game nerd.Good is Not Nice: I do like Lincoln a lot, but I admit I do treat him rather roughly. He's getting used to it, strangely.Gravity Master: Nope. But if I had a superpower, it'd either be this ortelekinesis.Whatever gets me sicker air.Graceful Ladies Like Purple: Not really. I love purple, but I'm lean, mean and not the least bit feminine.Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Sid Chang,big time. She became my best friend since we both moved to Great Lakes city and she's very keen on doing the stuff I do, like skateboarding. We also both love Twelve is Midnight like how Lincoln loves Smooch.Hidden Depths: The way I act at school is way different from when I act at home. I cook frequently for my mom and Bobby, who I'm openly supportive of. Mainly, I am a beast at domestic chores. Plus, like Breanna Yde, I can sing really well,which the writers never utilize.Watch. Ahem...You ain't even gotta worry, about a thing I gotcha babe, and ain't nobody takin' me away, it's not a game I'm here to stay....Hidden Heart of Gold: Underneath my rough and tumble exterior, I am a devoted girlf-good friend who, in my own way, as far as I'm concerned, is not shy about admitting to Lincoln that I absolutely love him, even "breaking up" with him despite wanting to continue their relationship because of all the teasing Lincoln was getting about our dating.Ink-Suit Actor: I wouldn't say that. But some of you guys have been thinking I look exactly like a younger version of my first voice actor, Breanna Yde.Insult of Endearment: I call Lincoln "Lame-o" in all of the notes I give him - the same notes I sign with "sigh" hugs, kisses, and hearts.In the Hood: I wear a purple hoodie. Just look at me.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: I admit, I can be rude and abrasive, but I do actually like Lincoln, make no mistake. I even helped him when he's being teased by "friends" for being my boyfriend by slapping him for kissing me, convincing Lincoln's friends that we're not dating.The Lad-ette: Lincoln once thought of me as "rude and gross" and thought I was raised by trolls, so I seemed to fit this as far as he was concerned. I can also be fairly aggressive and prone to violence when I'm mad.Large Ham:HOW DARE YOU ASSUME I OVER-DRAMATIZE MY FEELINGS?!MY FEELINGS ARE THE GENUINE ARTICLE! I LOVE LINCOLN A LOT! HE WILL BE MINE! ALL MINE!!WE'LL GET MARRIED, HAVE THREE KIDS AND WE'LL NAME THEM ALLSASUKE, BEN & SIMON!!I WILL DESTROY ALL WHO STAND IN THE WAY OF MY LOVE!!AND THEN I'LL CHANGE MY NAME TOMELON LORD!!!MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!(Cue Bobby walking in the room with a bucket of water, splashing it on me and then walking out) Thank you, Bobby. Ahem....please...forget I just said all of that. Especially the Melon Lord part.Limited Wardrobe: I always wear my purple hoodie as purple is my favorite color.Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy:I'm the Masculine Girl (a rough and aggressive tumbler) to Lincoln's Feminine Boy (has a stuffed rabbit and is in touch with his girly side).I'm also the Masculine Girl to my brother Bobby's Feminine Boy, who likes sappy romance movies, and facials. Not to mention his mushy romance with Lori. Which I mostly hate.Multiethnic Name: My name is mostly Latina, which befits my Mexican heritage, but my middle name, "Anne", is French.The Napoleon: I am small and a bit of a rough-houser.Nice Mean And In Between: Im the in between to how CJ is really sweet and helpful while Carl can be a real pain sometimes. Between all three of us, we are the children living our familia's bodega.Only Known by Their Nickname: People call me Ronnie Anne rather than my real name, Ronalda. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.Playing Sick: I've faked being sick twice — the first time was when I tried to get out of my history homework, and the second time was when I wanted to watch a lucha libre match but everyone else was going to watch Tio Carlos win an award. Both times, it led to Abuela falling for it and smothering me with remedies.The Prankster: Just ask Lame-o, whom I constantly pranked back at Royal Woods. I've tied his shoelaces together, put trash in his locker, shoved a sloppy Joe down his pants, and so on. Even after I moved out, I still prank him via mail. Of course, he's had plenty of experience dealing with his prankster of a sister Luan, and he routinely comes over to mi casa to engage in prank wars.Reformed Bully: After my first physical appearance, it seems that my relationship between me and Lincoln is more on the lines of aMasculine Girl, Feminine Boyromance over a bully and her victim. Heck, I seemed to be a lot nicer to him since I first appeared and I do have nice interactions with Lincoln's friends, and my public bullying of Lincoln he is completely okay with so that he isn't teased for having me for a "squeal" girlfriend.Secret Relationship: Yes. With Lincoln. And I lo-care for him a lot.Shared Family Quirks:Abuelo and I both love hot dogs. Then again, that's not all that surprising, sincehe'll eat pretty much all foods. My dad loves hot dogs too.Speaking of my dad, he and I are both gamers. He even has his own pair of VR goggles.Tio Carlos and I don't have that much in common, but we do both skateboard.My boy cousins and I are all pranksters.Shipper on Deck: I may find Lori and Bobby's relationship to be a little cheesy, but I do support them as a couple.When Bobby thought she'd broken up with him and fallen in love with someone else, I told him not to let another guy be her Boo-Boo Bear. Unfortunately, he biked all the way to Scotland and missed her completely... ah, classic Bobby Boo-Boo Bear. Never gets old.Strong Family Resemblance: I get my looks from my mom. How did I get so lucky with her?Tomboy: Yes. (Bobby: "Nini, you're supposed to say more than that!") All right, fine — just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I'm all sugar and spice. I enjoy skateboarding and video games and I don't like mushy stuff.Tomboy and Girly Girl: Let's see... I'm the tomboy to alotofGirly Girls. There's my cousin Carlota, Bobby's girlfriend Lori, my best friend Sid... Although compared to Lincoln's sister Lynn, I'm practically more girly.Tomboyish Ponytail: I wear my hair in a low ponytail, and I'm a real toughie.Tomboyish Voice: I have a fairly deep voice, suiting my tomboyish nature.Tomboy with a Girly Streak: I am also a hardcore tomboy, comparable to, as far as I've heard, two of Lincoln's sisters. I'm a rough cookie who's majorly grossed out by how mushy a lot of typically girly things are, and I enjoy video games and skateboarding. I also wears pink socks and the same type of girly slip-on shoes that Lori wears, not to mention a pink hair decoration in what is a pretty well-kept ponytail. As I've mentioned constantly, I am also quite sensitive, as I cried over Lincoln insulting me. I also started taking a liking toThe Dream Boat, as well, even if I initially didn't like it in the beginning. Mind telling me who you think should go aboard next?Tsundere: Really? You just lump in me in with those anime girls and call it a day? Though I've been informed this character type predates anime, seriously we gotta find a better name. We can't just borrow from thejaponésall the time. Also, it does not help that if I were to speak Japanese, I sound likeRie Kugimiya, who Linc says voices these kinds of characters.Uncatty Resemblance:Not really, but my parrot Sergio and I do both have sharp tongues.Vocal Evolution: Back when I lived in Royal Woods, and even for a while after moving in with the Casagrandes, my voice was quite rough-and-tumble and deep. Around the first time I met Sid, my voice has become sweeter and less rough.Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Despite being mostly fearless, I have stage fright. In my defense, it's not just run-of-the-mill stage fright; I have areason! Y'see, when I was in the first grade, I was in a play, cast as a tree, and I fell down, right in front of everyone, and someone shouted, "Timber!". Talk about embarrassing!Youthful Freckles: I have some freckles on my cheeks. I also has this with Lincoln and two of his sisters Luna and Lynn.Well, guys, it's been fun reading out my personality traits, but now I've gotta go. I promised I'd join Lincoln in a few "Band Battle" rounds (it's this new game Lincoln got) and I'm the singer. Gotta practice my singing on the way. Smell you later, Lame-os! Ahem...Rock and roll is running through my veins, hey, hey, electric soul like wires to my brain, hey, hey...

That's all just a buncha memes, though...but there are a few differences between UI and my powers.MySuper Formis, like,all green and stuff, while Ultra Instinct is, like, white, and I don't even know what it does. All I know is it's strong enough to take on that Scorpion guy without a scratch on me after, and it lets me go toe to toe with the likes of Superman. Could I fight Goku himself?

Well,I don't, even if I seem high sometimes. Seriously, askmy lawyer, Harvey; I'm clean, and he, like, proved it!Depending on the Writer: Like, I go on and off a vegan diet a lot.Food as Bribe: Do you have, like, any idea how many times Scoob and I have been bribed with Scooby Snacks to do anything? We're practically, like, theTrope Codifiers!Like, whenScoob and me discovered 'em back when they were called Sorcerer Snacks, it was aDecon-Recon Switch—Daphne thinks that bribing us to do stuff is, like, amoral, but the way me and Scoob see it, Fred just gives us Scooby Snacks for stuff we always have to do anyway!Forced Transformation:Like, one time I became awerewolf!And, like, the title of that movie alone should cue you in on how much I liked it.Also Ithoughtthis was the casewhen I went to Tokyo and ate a cursed pizza.Fortunately it wasjust a trick, like, same as always!Friend Versus Lover: Like,when I was dating Velma, she and Scooby didn't like sharing my attention.

It like, gets a lot of use, considering how often I get chased by creepazoids in costumes.Hypno Fool:Like, I once got hypnotized by this doctor to cure my scaredy-cat tendenciesso whenever someone says a trigger word I turn into this brave guy who spouts, like, constant movie one-liners. Apparently that's where you guys thought I'd developedUltra Instinct.I Do Not Like Crubeens and Farl: Like, Ireallydon't.Interclass Friendship: Like, I'm friends with more than a few famous people, likeChris Paul and Sia!Jerkass Has a Point: Like,the CEO of the company that makes Sorcerer Snacks renamed 'em after Scooby instead of me.I gotta admit, it makes sense that kids would wanna buy snacks from, like, a talking dog instead of a bearded guy.Like Is, Like, a Comma: Like, I guess I do, like, say "like" between my sentences a lot.Some sci-fi author dude, like, totally called me on it when I first met him.Limited Wardrobe: I nearly always wear, like, this green T-shirt and baggy red pants. Like, sometimes I'll wear a red shirt for variety's sake (and I busted out a wardrobe update, like,when I inherited a million dollars), but I don't deviate from it too often. Like, part of it is most other pants are too tight for me—Shaggy likes it baggy!Although, thereisone thing I change a lot: I wear a different belt buckle for every mystery!Lovable Coward: I guess I do, like, scare easily.

Like,Fred thinks it's 'cause I have a high metabolism, but it also has to do with the fact that, like, Scoob and I spend a lot of time running from monsters, and I, like, go on and off a vegan diet.Noodle Incident: Like,you wanna know how Chris Paul saved my life? Okay, but I warn ya, it's a seriously scary story!Like, I hadn't eaten in three or four hours, and Chris Paul shared his pizza with me!Only Known by Their Nickname: My given name is Norville, but, like, nobody calls me that. And, like, I used to be called "Buzz" when I was a kid 'cause I had a buzzcut until I was 10.Race Lift: Like, there's thisBlack version of mein one of the many retellings of how the gang and I first met! This guy's got my boundless appetite, but he doesn't even go by Shaggy—he sticks with his real name. And he's completely hopeless around women and doesn't have my cowardice!Trademark Favorite Food: I've got, like, a bunch of favorite foods! Scooby Snacks, sandwiches, hot dogs, pizza. Makes me hungry just thinking about them. But my signature is mySuper Shaggy Sandwich!Like,when I was living in my uncle Albert's mansion, I picked up a taste for, like, hot dog tacos and pizza sticks, 'cause Uncle Albert's nanotech Scooby Snacks, like, only work on animals.Like, if Ihadto pick an absolute favorite, though, it would have to be, like,extra cheese pizza with pickles!True Companions: There's me and Scoob of course, but like, can't forget the rest of the good ol' gang either! Even when we go our separate ways, we always seem to find our way back together.

(It is suggested to read this page in the voice ofAlan Oppenheimer.Mark Hamillisalso acceptable,and so isBen Diskin.noteFrank Langellais fine if you’re into subtlety.)I dare anything! I am SKELETOR!Greetings, pitiful fools out there!I am...Skeletor!The Lord of Destruction, master of Snake Mountain and future ruler of Eternia! Once I was Prince Keldor of the House of Miro, but such a meager title is unfitting for my greatness. My attempts to take the throne have lead to a rather drastic change in my life, transforming me into the man you see before you! For a long time, I have sought to capture Castle Greyskull to possess the powers within. One thing has stood in my way, however . . .HE-MAN ! ! !That... that... do-gooder has thwarted my malevolent efforts time and time again and made fools of my pathetic minions. Mark my words, I WILL conquer Greyskull and use its powers to spread my glorious evil throughout the universe! Not even He-Man can stop me then!(CueEvil Laugh)Tropes associated with me include:Adaptational Badass: Fools! You dare to implyI, Skeletor, am not up to my own measure!? Preposterous! ...That said, you people have had a flattering tendency to depict me in a way more fitting of my magnificence than those pitiful do-gooders would give me. Why, I even score victories over that muscle-headed dolt intwo of themost recent retellingsof my greatness!noteWhat do youmeanIlosteventually?! Bah!Archenemy: He-Man, naturally. His twin sister is this to a lesser extent but she's more of that batbrain Hordak's problem.Awesome Ego: And you better believe I am second to none, as I amtherightful ruler of both Eternia and the universe!Bad Boss: Every single time my minions fail me, I berate them and threaten them with bodily harm, butcan you blame me?Beware the Silly Ones: You dare to call mesillyto my face!? Imightbe prone to the theatrics ofmy positionfrom time to time... but make no mistake about me, fool, I am the deadliest thing on Eternia andIwill claim what is rightfully mine!Big Bad: And very proud of it. Flogg may have thought himself in charge but I was still the big bad.Cain and Abel: My oafish brother Randor is entirely unworthy of the throne! Trifling circumstance allowedhimwhere I rightfully belong, it is only right that I should take what's mine.Card-Carrying Villain: It’s to be expected from the likes of me.Co-Dragons:Can you believe I was forced into cooperating with Hordak by his boss Horde Prime? The indignity!For my own Evil Warriors, Evil-Lyn and Beast Man are my own immediate henchmen.between Evil-Lyn's magical knowledge and Beast Man's terrible strength, there is little on Eternia that can stop my evil plans!Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: I am NO fool, it is a dog-eat-dog world out there and sooner or later someone, eventhatdimwitted sniwey hero, will get wise to see an opportunity to strike at mewhen we are forced to align interests... but, I make sure I will strike first when they least expect it,count on it.The Dragon:Flogg made me his second in command, little does he realise thatI was the one really running the show.Evil-Lyn has consistently proven herself to be my most competent minion and the one I can most trust to execute my orders,her occasional bout of disloyalty notwithstanding.Even Evil Has Loved Ones: I do care about my pets Panthor and Grr. I like them because they are as mean as me.Evil Is Hammy: Ah, yes, I’m very proud of my theatrics.Evil Is Petty: Petty? PETTY?!? There is NOTHING petty about my evil!Evil Laugh: I love to laugh whenever I plot something sinister.Evil Uncle: That bumbling boy Prince Adam is just another pathetic obstacle in my way to the throne. Honestly, it's an embarrassment that we're related.Horned Humanoid: When I'm able to get my hands on greater power still, my magnificent skull often grows horns to show my greatness better than any crown!In the Hood: If I didn't wear my purple hood over my skull, some morons would mistake me for Scareglow.Large Ham: Yes, I admit I can be quitetheatrical.So?Magic Staff: My Havoc Staff is a great reservoir of dark power to work my magic through.In another realm of existence, it serves as atotemto wieldthe Power of Havoc.Red Eyes, Take Warning: When my empty eye sockets aren't so empty, my red eyes properly reflect the evil and power I possess, nyehehehe!Skeletal Appendage:Another version of myselfnot only has aSkull for a Head, but his left arm from the elbow down is skeletal as well. That cursed guardian of Grayskull tricked him into losing the flesh on his arm to the Power of Havoc! But he showed her in the end, as any true Skeletor should!Skull for a Head: And such a lovely shade of yellow too.noteOf course,Frank Langella‘s version of me has a white skull for a head.Trash Talk: One of my many fortes, as my tongue is as sharp as any of my spells or my own strength during a fight! Why, I could write a book about whatyoudon't know.

I'm ready! I'm ready!Good morning,TV Tropesand all who inhabit it! My name isSpongeBob SquarePants! I live in Bikini Bottom in a pineapple with my pet snail Gary! I also work at the Krusty Krab with my fantastic boss Mr. Krabs and my neighbor Squidward! I see you also got him onthis page, too!noteSquidward:NO! Don't youdareleave your page, SpongeBob! I mean, I don't leavemine!After anamazing dayat work, I go home and hang out with Patrick. We play all the time! We love blowing bubbles, playing tag, jellyfishing, and so much more! I'm also friends with Sandy Cheeks, and weloveto play karate, or should I say,KA-RA-TAY!She's so sweet and kind. All of my friends are so sweet and kind! I also love feeding my pet snail, Gary. Gary's also one of my best friends, even if he can't talk.BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! On land, you weird-looking humans turned my adventures intoa cartoononNickelodeon(I really love those!) AND I'M THE STAR! Even though I'm not a starfish. But I don't really like bragging. And of course, if you're reading this page, you should read it inTom Kenny's voice, or for Spanish-speaking users,Luis Carreño!T is for Tropes that apply to me-ee!Acquired Situational Narcissism:Being in that Krusty Krab commercialkindagot to my head. I only appeared in the commercial for a few seconds when the commercial lasted around three minutes. I don't think that many people even remembered seeing me.Winning truckloads of cash and becoming impossibly rich caused me to become a big fancy snob and even forget Patrick was my best pal. It didn't last long as all the friends I'd made only liked me for my money. I don't want a rich and fancy life if it makes me forget who my real best friend is.All-Loving Hero: I really love everything and everyone! Do you wanna hang out? We can play tag, blow bubbles, and jellyfish…And Call Him "George": I'm so affectionate to just about everyone! Okay, maybe too affectionate.Annoying Laugh: What do you mean… "annoying"?Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: I will admit that I can be distracted sometimes, but... oh, hey, a cookie!Baby's First Words: Mine were "May I take your order?" I also said "Krabby patty!" and "Mmm, yummy!" as an unborn fetus.Badass Adorable: I've even saved the world on quite a few occasions, and I'm themasterof KA-RA-TAY! Okay, so I'm not as good as Sandy or that Liu Kang guy, but I still gotta count, right?Befriending the Enemy: I've done this with Plankton before. Too bad it didn't work out. Nevertheless, there's still some good in Plankton!Berserk Button: I may be a simple sponge with a good heart, but doNOTtake advantage of my kindness. Squidward (and even Mr. Krabs) justhadto learn this the hard way.Beware the Nice Ones: I don'tusuallyget angry, but when I do, watch out. I even choked the life out of Mr. Krabs for not hiring Squidward back over a dime.Born Lucky: Now, I don't wannabragor anything… but good things usually seem to happen to me at random. Guess a positive attitude goes a long way!Break the Cutie:Yeah, it's happened. There was that mean customer who yelled at me over not getting a drink, Squidward playing that nasty April Fool's prank on me (though my bawling helped with a counter-prank), the time Gary ran away from home, and when I even got fired once or twice!I also felt very hurt when all my friends called me… (grunt) "Idiot Boy"!Broken Ace:I've taken and failed my boating test thirty-eight… no, wait… thirty-ninetimes! Wait, that was from a while ago. Now, it's… gimme a second to count… oh. That's a lot.The time Bubble Bass made me think I forgot the pickles, I lost my confidence and forgot loads of things.And when Squidward insulted my artwork, I lost my creative genius and could only do it by the book.Bunny-Ears Lawyer: I REALLY LOVE FLIPPING KRABBY PATTIES!!!! And Mr. Krabs says I'm the best! Anyway, let's go jellyfishing!Captain Oblivious: Oblivious? I don't know what that word means. But now that you mention it, I might have heard Squidward call me oblivious before,so it must be a compliment!Thanks, Squiddy, old pal!noteSquidward:Go away!Captain Obvious: Did you know that tropes are blue?Catchphrase: There's "order up", "barnacles", and my favorite, "I'm ready!"Chaste Toons: Did you know I have not one, not two, butthreewhole nephews?Childhood Brain Damage: How did you know that?!Child Prodigy: I made my very first Krabby Patty back when I was a baby.Class Clown: What? You've gotta be kidding me! I'll have you know that I amindeedaverydecent student. Just ask Mrs. Puff. She knows best!Cloudcuckoolander: I just look at the world in a different way. The best way ever!Comically Missing the Point: I thought this was TV TRAIN, as in a choo-choo train!Companion Cube:I have a spatula named Spat!I also fell in love with a Krabby Patty. It was too perfect to eat. It was weird, now that I think about it.Competition Freak: I got so competitive that I didn't want Squidward to win the Employee of the Month award.Corrupt the Cutie: I've gotten manipulated by a lot of bad guys, especially Plankton when he's tried to use me to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula. Rude!Cuddle Bug: I love hugging people!Dark and Troubled Past: I have a cousin named Blackjack who always tormented me. He stopped doing it when he was sentenced to 10 years in prison for littering.Determinator: Nothing will stop me from performing my duty for the Krusty Krab, whether it's delivering a pizza or saving Mr. Krabs from an execution! And no matter how long it takes (and how much destruction I may cause), nothing will stop me from getting my boating license!I promise to do my best to keep the Krabby patty formula away from Plankton! And one time when I made a bet with Squidward to not cry for the rest of the day, I managed to hold in my tears all the way until midnight!Depending on the Writer: Huh. I guess writers sure have a hard time portraying me sometimes.For my popularity, the citizens of Bikini Bottom either seem to like me for my kind nature or seem to hate me for being a big goof. Sometimes, I don't think they even know me.When it comes to my fry cooking skills, everyone sees me as either a celebrity chef or just a lowly fry cook.In the past, I was good enough to hold my own against Sandy in KA-RA-TAE (and even beat her), but more recently, Sandy usually wins...easily.Sometimes I'm smart, sometimes… not so much?I can be really civilized, super fancy, and well-organized, but sometimes I just care about having fun!Sometimes, I'm seen as too weak to even lift a twig with marshmallows as dumbbells, but I've also been strong enough to… lift Mr. Krabs off his feet while grabbing him by the neck. Wow.The Ditz: Me? Dumb? Nah. Maybe I'm a bit naïve, but I'm nowhere near dumb.The Dog Bites Back:There was the time I got back at Squidward for treating me like his personal slave.There was the time I felt bad for writing stories that ruined the lives of other Bikini Bottomites, but Mr. Krabs took Spat from me and demanded that I write the most outlandish story yet. I did, alright. I published in great detail how Mr. Krabs forced me to write the lies that ruined people, who then took their money back from him.Doing It for the Art: I don't work for the Krusty Krab for money (Mr. Krabs hardly pays me and Squidward anyways), I just love making good Krabby Patties and making everyone happy!Drama Queen: I tend to overreact over the smallest things.Dreadful Musician: I claimed to be a master at the bassinet… apparently, I thought wrong. I do way better on the ukelele, though!Drill Sergeant Nasty: I acted as this when training Gary for the Snail Olympics. Though I was too harsh on poor Gare-bear.Drives Like Crazy: I haven't earned my license… BUT IWILLSOMEDAY!Dude Looks Like a Lady: I bet it's the eyelashes. But do I look like aprettylady?Easily Forgiven: I'm a very forgiving person to people who have mistreated me. Well, maybe too forgiving.Easily Impressed: Oh, I was impressed by Squidward reading a book. Sure proud he knows how to spend his time.Early-Installment Weirdness: My original laugh sounded low and deep instead of the high-pitched one everyone knows me for.Everyone Has Standards:Sure I'm determined to keep the Krabby Patty secret formula from Plankton, but when Mr. Krabs kept scaring him with his fear of whales, I didn't like it and called him out! Too bad I scared off Plankton at the end of the episode while Mr. Krabscompletely got away with it!Sorry, everyone! ("Frankendoodle" taught me to watch myPractical Jokes, too.)It's true that I often feel concerned and worry for Squidward at times, such as when he fainted when I invited him to stay at the pineapple when his house burnt down when he didn't make it out of Hotel Halibut when we were forced to evacuate, and not to mention that Sunday when I tried to get his Sunday papers for him and he called me and Patrick out for stealing his pedicure, and I tried to apologize and offer him a cake as a present. Emphasis on try.Even the Loving Hero Has Hated Ones: While I love everyone in Bikini Bottom, the only person I outright can't is Bubble Bass because he made me lose my confidence when he said I forgot the pickles. Turns out later that he hid the pickles under his tongue to mock me! He's even sat on Plankton once when hewasn'tdoing anything wrong!Evil Laugh: When I met the Strangler.Extreme Doormat: Some people like Plankton say I'm this on occasion. Well, I'm a sponge. I just don't see any reason to be mean.Eye Scream: Sure I tend to get my eyes injured at times.Once I spilled bubble soap in them to entertain some kids. They loved it!I also got mustard and hot sauce in them for fun a few times. It hurt, but it was fun anyway.When I spilled a blob of ketchup and made a mess, I accidentally sprayed my eyes instead.Mr. Krabs once made my eyes burn like they were full of lava thanks to his flashlight.When Patrick and I fled the Toy Barrel, I had a literal eye burn from the sunlight due to spending a long time in the darkness!During the time I got "Stuck in the Wringer", I caught a left black eye.I also accidentally destroyed the entry of Bubble Buddy's hometown, Bubble Town, after getting bubble soap in my eyes.Felony Misdemeanor: A customer ordered a medium soda and I gave him a LARGE! I GAVE HIM A LARGE! I soiled the good Krusty Krab name! SOILED IT! SOILED IT! SOILED IT! SOILED IT! SOILED— hey, why are you poking me? I mean, it tickles, but what do you mean by an "off switch"?Flanderization: Boy, I've become a LOT more naïve and eccentric over the years. And I also let everyonewalk over me more! Squidward says the whole town ended up acting a lot more unusual than normal, but I and everyone else calmed down after a while. Maybe Plankton did it?For Happiness: I love to make everyone happy!Genius Ditz: I'm very good at math! 2 plus 2 is 4, and 4 is 2… squared.Good with Numbers: If you need change for a dollar, do you want 4 quarters? Or 10 dimes? Or 20 nickels? Or 100 pennies? Or 1 quarter, 3 dimes, 7 nickels, and 10 pennies?Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing: I'm the Gleeful to Squidward's Grumpy. I'm cheerful and optimistic, and I consider Squidward to be my close friend.Grew a Spine: The time Gary got addicted to Snail Bites and I couldn't help but give him more and more until there was none left in the world, Patrick taught me the best way to make him stop was to firmly say "no!"Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: I am yellow and very kind.Healing Factor: Being a sponge, it's obvious.Heterosexual Life-Partners: Patrick is my best friend in the whole wide world! Also, my best friend is Squidward!Horrible Judge of Character: The fandom thinks I'm this about certain people. Come on! Mr. Krabs is such a good boss. Squidward is a good friend! And Mrs. Puff is the nicest teacher in the world!Iconic Outfit: White shirt, brown pants with belt, and black shoes with white socks with blue and red stripes. My pants are as square as yours truly, hence my name!Identity Amnesia: When I ran away from Bikini Bottom after being called "Idiot Boy" so many times, I hit my head and forgot who I was! It was then I assumed the identity of "CheeseHead BrownPants".Idiot Hero: Hey, that's mean!Innocent Blue Eyes: My large blue eyes represent my innocence.Innocently Insensitive: Some feel I ruin everybody's day, mostly Squidward and Mrs. Puff.Jerkass Ball: Looking back, I do regret the times I've become a massive jerk toward the people I care about.I still feel bad about what I did to Gary after I adopted Fluffy as a friend for Gary. Fluffy was therealbad boy and I should've known it!Keet: I'm happy and I'm proud!Kindhearted Cat Lover: Snail lover, actually, wonder what you mean by that. But I do love my pet snail, Gary!Kindhearted Simpleton: Well, I wouldn't say I'm stupid, but while I'm not a genius, I do have a big heart!Loony Fan: I'm a huge fan of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy!

There's no way I would bug Squidward that much!Oblivious to Hatred: What do you mean Squidward hates me?Oh, you mean that? Don't worry, it's no big deal.O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Nice as I may seem, but when there are moments that seem far too uptight, then be prepared for me to go full-on serious mode.Papa Wolf: Don't mess with my Gare-bear!The Pollyanna: Always gotta have an attitude of gratitude!Prank Gone Too Far: I love pranks, but I'm not gonna go around being asadistabout it.noteSquidward:Yeah, yeah, thanks for reminding me.What? I never said anything about you!Prone to Tears: I admit it. I am a crybaby. I once stubbed my toe watering my spice garden and cried for 20 minutes. Apparently, I didn't know I cried longer than that until Squidward brought it up.Rage-Breaking Point: Though I'm usually a good guy when things don't go my way that's when I BLOW MY TOP!Rapid-Fire Nail Biting: I once had a bad habit of biting my nails.Rubber-Hose Limbs: I do this a lot, hence being a sea sponge.

Everyone loves my Krabby Patties! Even Squidward couldn't resist them!Taking Advantage of Generosity: Sadly, people often take advantage of my kindness. Like that time Squidward wouldn't leave my house to find another job and treated me like his personal slave or that time everyone in Bikini Bottom used my flying abilities to do the simplest tasks like picking out a tie.Took a Level in Cynic: In the later seasons, I've become more aware that life isn't all sunshine and rainbows. I'm starting to see through people's manipulations and I will put my foot down when Mr. Krabs goes too far in his abuse of his authority.Trademark Favorite Food: Krabby Patties!

Sorry Water Man. I hope you enjoy my drawn tombstone for you.Undying Loyalty: I'm fully dedicated to the Krusty Krab, and Mr. Krabs is a great boss!Unknown Rival: Plankton is also normally a very close friend of mine, depending on if he is trying to steal the Krabby Patty formula again.Vitriolic Best Buds: Despite how much of a grouch Squidward is, he's still a great friend! (Squidward: No! We are not friends, you buffoon!) See, Squidward agrees with me!

Pictured: Someone who really wishes he wasn't here right now."How did I ever get surrounded by such loser neighbors?"—Meon my annoying, inconsiderate neighbors.Hello there. My name isSquidward Q. Tentacles, Bikini Bottom's resident artist, clarinet player, andSupreme Chefextraordinaire. My talents would probably be more recognized if it wasn't for my obnoxious next-door neighbors, SpongeBob and Patrick, and the fact that I'm forced to spend my weekdays trapped in the prison of high cholesterol that is the Krusty Krab. All I ever want in life is peace and quiet, but between being stuck at that cash register all day and forced to put up with that annoying sponge'soverly cheerful attitude,getting my wish is never easy. Fortunately,even when he finally got his own page here, to my obvious misfortune,he still has to stay on it for the most partwhile I get to keep this oneallto myself. Sucker! I got to admit, that's not so much compared to what Iusuallyhave to deal with.Oh, and if that's not enough, thatstuck-up snobSquilliam Fancysonalways thinkshe can be better than meby showing me up every chance he gets.Served him right when I put together that marching band and blew everyone away at the Bubble Bowl!How about you read this in the voice ofRodger Bumpass, my incredibly talented voice actor? At least it'll be different from thatFrench narratorwho keeps butting in on my everyday life!Artistically unique tropes that apply to me:Abusive Parents: And Grandparents. My mother was rather dismissive of me and even supportedSandywhen she insulted me during "Sportz?". My grandmother wasn't kind to me, either; in "Chum Fricassee", after finding out I've been using her chum recipe wrong, she attacks me by hitting my foot with her walker frequently.Accidental Truth: One time, after SpongeBob's non-stop laughing nearly drove me insane, I lied to him that if he didn't can it with the laughter, he'd blow out his "laugh box" and never be able to laugh again. Too bad it came back to haunt me after I revealed the trick and laughed over it. How was I supposed to know laugh boxes were real?Agony of the Feet: In "House Fancy", that yellow dimwit crushed my foot with a table and ripped off my toenail! Ugh! The internet community was pretty grossed out by that scene, and I can't blame them. As a matter of fact,how did I grow out a toenail?I know we get acloser look sometimes, but...Even to this day, I wonderif it was still worth getting to win against Squilliam.That’s not really somethingI should be having second thoughts about.All of the Other Reindeer: Where do I even begin? Between those moronic neighbors of mine constantly putting me down, my cheapskate boss forcing me to stand at that register all day without any compensation, and the people of Bikini Bottom'sirrational hatred of me(maybe more thanthe other way around), it seems like nobody wants to respect me!Arch-Enemy: I may have flat-out said that I consider SpongeBob to be the bane of my existence, but he's still just a loser irrelevant neighbor. If there's anyone more qualified for this, which may or may not be saying something, it would have to be Squilliam. I can at least remember how longhe'sbeen tormenting me, namely back in high school and for being aSmug Snaketo me.Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: Well not really, I might look blue at first glance, but it's only because I live underwater. When SpongeBob was messing around with his stupid reef blower, he made me turn purple without any water!Animals Hate Me: That yellow idiot's moronic snail actuallyattacksme, and when those morons brought me on their camping trip, I was constantly attacked and nearly mauled to death by a Sea Bear! Although, I guess I did set him off bywearing a sombrero in a goofy fashion and screeching like a chimpanzee.Not Annoying At All Laugh: My laugh isNOTannoying, it's just very honky sounding because of my nose.Anti-Hero: I admit it, I'm rather cranky, sarcastic, and hate everyone around me, but sometimes I show that I'm a good person deep down.Anti-Villain: Don't remind me. Apparently, I'm supposed to be an antagonist just because I despise that yellow doofus, even thoughhekeeps bothering me all the time!Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: There was that time I turned into a giant after SpongeBob and Patrick used too much of the growth spray.Attention Whore: OK fine, when I'm not keeping to myself, I like to demand people's attention by displaying interpretive dancing or playing my clarinet really loudly. There, I said it!Bait-and-Switch Suicide: I don't know why everyone thought I would kill myself when I stuck my head in the oven and put up a birdcage. Let's be honest, as miserable as my life may be,I probably would've done it a long time ago.I've evensurvived plenty of other stuffthatshouldhave killed me. Sometimes I wonder if the sources of my misery, such as those two morons,are actually keeping me alive... For the wrong reasons, of course.Beautiful Dreamer: Or so my neighbors think. I do look very attractive if I do say so myself.Berserk Button: Go ahead, take a wild guess whoand/orwhat. It's not like I care which is worse.Good Neighbor Instinct: Sometimes, I can show that I do care for SpongeBob, like when I tried to make it up to him when he was sad about Christmas. When me and SpongeBob were about to be murdered by the "Hash-Slinging Slasher", I actually hugged him. I did it in fear, OK?Oh, and I schemed with Mr. Krabs to humiliate that buffoon intonevergoing near the hooks again.Harsh? Yes. Possibly life-saving? Definitely.After a rude customer made him cry after we went throughDavy Jones' Lockerto deliver him a pizza, I decided to give him a piece of my mind and knocked that ungrateful jerk out.Born Unlucky: It goes without saying. Will I ever go a day without getting injured, humiliated, or suffering some kind of misery?Break the Haughty: I admit! My arrogance and jerky attitude do get the better of me very, very often!Brilliant, but Lazy: Hey, I CAN win the employee of the month award if I wanted to! I just don't care to do any work because the award is just a big scam! I think even that one time I actually tried to win was just to get back at SpongeBob for going crazy about it.Brutal Honesty: I'm always quick to tell the two imbeciles what they need to hear than what they want to hear, not that's ever going to get through their thick skulls.Bullying the Dragon: Looking back on "The Camping Episode", I regret my decision to deliberately provoke the Seabear! Needless to say,it DIDN'T end well for me!Please don't remind me again! The same can be said for dealing with Patrick's big dumb sister.Burger Fool: Well, that's what happens when you work at the Krusty Krab!Butt-Monkey: I solely exist just to be the show's punching bag. Howwonderfulis that?Cannot Spit It Out: I was forced to apologize to SpongeBob for that cruel April Fool's prank, but I didn't find that easy enough.Cannot Tell a Joke: I'm able to tell a joke, but it falls flat due to my lack of enthusiasm. Oh well.Can't Live with Them, Can't Live without Them: As much as I can't stand that yellow headache SpongeBob, there was a time I did miss being around him. "Squidville" comes to mind.Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: Unfortunately to SpongeBob and Patrick as I have to zip their mouths shut before they could speak.The Comically Serious: Being surrounded by a wacky world full of annoying idiots is so amusing to the viewers. Whatever.Cosmic Plaything: It seems the heavens above created me to be their plaything. You don't know how horrible it is.I may not be a nice person,but it’s still more than I actually deserve, sheesh.Cranky Neighbor: Thanks to living next door to a yellow doofus who will never leave me alone, I'm the most iconic example of this trend. They might as well rename it "The Squidward", but it's usually the other way around.Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass:Who're you calling a moron!?Well, anyway, I'm not exactly the most intimidating guy around, but if I see the Green Sun of Neptune, I turn into a giant feral octopus that is one of the biggest and most dangerous creatures in Bikini Bottom.Deadpan Snarker: I never hold back my sharp wits against those who are annoyingly moronic, especially SpongeBob and Patrick, but their little brainscan't comprehend sarcasm.Dirty Coward: Dirty? Well, excuse you! When the world is so messed up and you’re stuck living with nitwits, I’m only out for myself!The Dog Bites Back: When I'm not on the receiving end of some cruel misfortune, I got one of these every now and then, and it feels so good!One time, Mr. Krabs turned the Krusty Krab into a luxury hotel and forced me into catering to Patrick's every whim citing, "We shall never deny a guest, even the most ridiculous request." So I quit and then used the policy against him. That'll teach ol' man Krabs.There was that time when that big oaf Patrick became "king" and demanded that all of the citizens hand over their stuff to him because he and SpongeBob said so. Worse, he demolished my house so he can make a Ferris Wheel. I was the one who got everyone to realize that the pink doofus has no real claim to power, and has no right to boss them around and force them to hand over their stuff to him. When SpongeBob tried to convince me to sign a treaty pledging loyalty to the dimwit, I responded by shoving it into one of his face craters. Take that, SpongeBrain!There was the time Mr. Krabs left SpongeBob in charge as acting manager, and he tried to boss me around. So I told SpongeBob a bunch ofKrusty Krab "secrets", and made him do all the dirty work. After that, Mr. Krabs ended up washing dishes, a random customer frying the Krabby patties, SpongeBob holding a bunch of customers hostage with his silly dancing, and me napping the day away! Best day at work ever!And let's not forget that time I read SpongeBob's diary to everyone in Bikini Bottom all just to get back at him for everything he put me through for 9 seasons. Of course, SpongeBob didn't ruin my day this time,and that only made me the bad guy. But I don't care!It was so worth it!Dreadful Musician: Oh, everyone's a critic. Well, I'll have you know I'm a decent clarinet player. The mood I'm in only depends on how well I play it, not that I sound awful.Emotionally Tongue-Tied: I had so much of a hard time apologizing to SpongeBob for that awful prank I pulled on him that doing so caused my head to explode.Enraged by Idiocy: When you're stuck with two simpletons like SpongeBob and Patrick, yes, you know I'll get mad.Everyone Has Standards: As much as SpongeBob bothers me to no end, I was shocked and disgusted that Mr. Krabs wouldsell his soul for 62 cents.Also, after SpongeBob and I walked through tornadoes and who knows what else to deliver a pizza to a guy, only for him to scream angrily at SpongeBob for forgetting a drink thathe didn't even orderand slam the door in his face, reducing the poor sponge to tears, even I couldn't stand it. Even if he did order the drink and Mr. Krabs might've hung up, that jerk deserved getting knocked out.Flanderization:I got more uh...grouchy as time went on. Can you blame me? Between those two idiots, the entire town of Bikini Bottom failing to recognize my talents, and having to keep working at that grease trap under that cheapskate crustacean, of course I was going to end up a little nastier! Come to think of it, the whole town got a lot worse too. Huh, well that explains why my paychecks were a lot less than usual. Glad that whole fiasco died off and sanity came back to Bikini Bottom.Oh, and this didn't just apply to my behavior.Someone up therethought it would be funny if I suffered more, even if I didn't deserve it! Luckily, that seems to have died down. And thank goodness, because my poor soul couldn't have taken another swipe like that.Foil: You could say I'm the opposite to that cheery, fun-spirited yellow oaf.Freudian Excuse: I had a miserable childhood and I live with idiot neighbors who harass me every day. You can't really blame me for being such a grouch.Friendship Denial: It makes no difference if we're neighbors, that doesn't mean I'm SpongeBob's friend, and I never will be! Sadly,that yellow imbecilecan't take a hint.The Friends Who Never Hang: She’s more of an acquaintance really, but I do rarely interact with Sandy on my own. It might seem strange since she’s easily the most rational and intelligent person I know (besides myself of course),and one of the least irritating, but on the other hand, she’s WAY into extreme sports,and that nitwit SpongeBob almost got himself killed trying to appease her unquenchable lust for adrenaline. She also likes to play god with science,like the time she got me and SpongeBob biologically fused, I’ll never recover from that nightmarish experience. Hmmm…maybe it is better to keep my distance?Get Out!: Whenever SpongeBob and Patrick happen to wander in my house, I always tell them this. Trust me, I deal with this every day.Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing: I'm the Grumpy to SpongeBob's Gleeful. I'm grumpy, cynical, and hate SpongeBob with a passion. We're probably one of the most iconic examples in the new millennium.Green and Mean: Hey, I'm not that bad of a guy! However, my skin color is somewhere in between the aquamarine and teal range, and my "meanness" is more out of irritation rather than villainy.Green-Eyed Monster: So what if I'm envious of SpongeBob and Patrick? It's not like they deserveall the nice stuffthat seems to befall them!Hair-Trigger Temper: I get mad easily, mainly by SpongeBob and Patrick's stupid antics.Hates Being Touched: Unfortunately, my aversion to physical contact doesn't stop SpongeBob cuddling me. Ugh!Hates Everyone Equally: Yes, I really do.It's only personal if you annoy me enough times."I Hate" Song: I hate people so much that I even sang a song about it in one episode! Pretty catchy. You should take a listen to it when you get the chance.Hollywood Atheist: Oh puh-lease! I have no soul. And I don't believe in the supernatural *a hellish background and laugh pop up behind him* Those are just the effects! It's not like it's real or anything!Hypocritical Humor: Almost every barnacle-head in Bikini Bottom likes to get on my case for not having hair. The fact that most of them don’t have hair either flies right over their empty heads.Jerkass: It's really hard to be a nice person when everyone around you is a bumbling idiot.Jerkass Has a Point: It's not hard to understand why I'm not a pleasant fellow. Let me enlighten you.I work at a low-paying minimum wage job, I'm a victim of bad luck, I have two idiot neighbors who bother me endlessly, and Squilliam always rubs his rich lifestyle in my face.You can find my anger and annoyance towards SpongeBob to be understandable considering that he does things like borderline stalking. I even had to report the police on him for that.Unlike SpongeBob, I have a more realistic attitude towards working at the Krusty Krab, since Mr. Krabs is a cheapskate who hardly pays us and treats me and SpongeBob horribly.Oh, and let's not forget how the entire populous of Bikini Bottomirrationally hates mefor some reason. Fine, there may be a few times where I did deserve their hatred, but come on! Sometimes I could just be standing there and they'd act like I was a public safety hazard!Jerkass Realization: I remember that time I pulled a cruel prank on SpongeBob which made him cry. I wasn't proud of that.Jerkass to One: I'm a lot ruder to SpongeBob than I am with others, even Patrick who's just as annoying as him, but only dumber than him. Can you blame me? I not only live next door to him, but we're also co-workers, meaning that I have to deal with him bugging me and tormenting me with his tomfoolery day in and day out.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Sure, I may be cranky, grouchy, short-tempered, and somewhat arrogant, but I can be a compassionate and courteous individual as long as you don't annoy me.Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Sometimes, anyways. Why would I help someone for free? In "What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?", I was the only one who was happy of driving SpongeBob to leave Bikini Bottom and even ruin the others' chances of bringing him back home.At least I don't pretend to feel sorry unlike the others. Then I decided to help bring the yellow twit back...only because Mr. Krabs promised to reward me with a fancy egg I needed for my collection. Too bad that egg broke on SpongeBob's head which brought back his memories. Doooh!Well, if it makes you feel better,I did end up deciding tothrow my brain in the trash.Karma Houdini: I got away with laughing at SpongeBob for his kissy mark he got from his grandma, which is still funny to this very day. I even escaped punishment for taking advantage of his kindness and treating him like a slave (complete withhaving him wear a maid outfit).To be fair, this normally doesn't happen with everything else I do.Lack of Empathy: So what if I'm harsh or uncaring?Laser-Guided Karma: In the old seasons, bad things happen to me because I was being a total jerk. Nowadays, I get unfairly punished. Thankfully these days, it only happens if I really have it coming.Lazy Bum: If you see me at the Krusty Krab, I'm probably taking a nap or reading my magazines. There was one time I wanted to pop SpongeBob's Bubble Buddy for making me provide excellent service!Lean and Mean: I am fairly lean thanks to my having a strict diet and I have no respect for people who like to waste their miserable lives indulging in unhealthy junk like Krabby patties. ... What? What do you mean I love Krabby patties?I hate them!Lethal Chef: I'm a terrible fry cook. There was one time I burnt someone's shake. And don't get me started on that Krabby Patty I made from "The Algae Is Always Greener".notePlankton:Squidward!Limited Wardrobe: Oh please! The only clothing I have on me is just a shirt!No Matter How Much I Beg: I'm theTrope Namerfor this in "The Paper" and I also provide the trope's quote page. For context, I told SpongeBob over and over not to give me the gum wrapper I threw away. Then SpongeBob does all of the impressive things with the paper and I traded all of my possessions just to get it back, only to find out I couldn't do anything SpongeBob did with it!What a bummer.Never My Fault: Okay,so maybe I potentially brought my misery on myself for not being a particularly nice person,but as time went on,things just ended up getting so blown out of proportionthat I reallydidn'tdo anything to deserve it.Or at least not enough.Non-Action Guy: I'm not really athletic like the rest of the characters, but that's okay because I prefer playing my clarinet. Why would I bother getting myself injured doing all of these crazy stunts anyways?No-Respect Guy: I'm perhaps the most rational person in the series and everyone treats me like dirt.Non-Indicative Name: Don't let my name fool you; I'm an octopus, not a squid.Not So Above It All: Okay, I'll admit. There are times I partake in SpongeBob's tomfoolery, and I'll end up taking the games too seriously, ruining them for everyone else.One-Track-Minded Artist: All of my glorious art is focused on me. And only me!Only Sane Man: Knowing that I'mSurrounded by Idiots, especially if those idiots are SpongeBob and Patrick, I'm usually the most mature and rational person in Bikini Bottom.Okay, maybe notall the time.Pet the Dog: I do have my moments of compassion for others. Yes, even SpongeBob. The most famous example is when a customer drove SpongeBob to tears for forgetting his drink, and I stood up for the little guy and shoved the Krusty Krab pizza down that jerk's throat for good measure.Perpetual Frowner: With how I'm treated in Bikini Bottom, it's hard to smile. Am I sure?Does this look unsure to you?*frowns* ... Speaking of which,that moment seems to have gained some kind of following, hasn't it?Red Oni, Blue Oni: Not in a literal sense since I'm more aqua colored while SpongeBob is, well, yellow, but I'm the blue to his red. I am far more serious and logical than that obnoxious and impulsive hooligan.Sadist: I always get my kicks out of the pain, suffering, and embarrassment that happens to SpongeBob and Patrick.One time in "The Camping Episode", when the dummies were going out camping, I thought of how satisfying it would be when they get lost in the woods and never came back. It turns out they're camping close to the neighborhood!I even enjoyed humiliating SpongeBob in "Fools of April" and "Little Yellow Book", though in the former, I felt awful about going overboard with thatprank, but not so much about the reading his diary! Hahaha!I took it to a new level in "Sportz" when I got fed up with the two's usual stupidity and invented a sports game where the numbskulls are on the receiving end of injuries, but must go by the ritual "No pain, no game", all in an attempt to get them murdered!Sanity Slippage: Unfortunately, there are times when I'm not sane, like that time when I was put in charge of the Krusty Krab, though I decided to take a day off. After going back and forth to the Krusty Krab to check on SpongeBob, I slowly became insane and locked myself in my house so I won't have to go back to check on SpongeBob. Then I finally snapped when I hallucinated SpongeBob in the drain of my bathtub and I ran back to the Krusty Krab to catch up to him while in the nude. That was one moment I'd like to forget.Seven Deadly Sins:Wrath, yes. Maybepride, but you try not to be angry when you'reSurrounded by Idiots(see below).Slobs Versus Snobs: Snobs? You could've put a better word to describe me! Just look at Squilliam! Nonetheless, I fit the latter as I am very sophisticated and dignified unlike SpongeBob and Patrick who are a whole lot stupid and obnoxious.Smart Jerk and Nice Moron: As you can tell, I'm the Smart Jerk to both SpongeBob and Patrick's Nice Morons, as I am far more intelligent and rational than the two hooligans can never be.The Snark Knight: I'm always sarcastic in a messed-up world. It's how I cope, really.Straw Loser: It seems that I was created to be a punching bag just to make SpongeBob and Patrick look like winners.Strong as They Need to Be: I'm not known for being physically strong, but there was one time I lifted up and moved my house.Supreme Chef: I'm far from a good fry cook like SpongeBob (which I really don't care about anyways), but I happen to be great at conventional baking, such as casseroles and soufflés.Surrounded by Idiots: Let's face it, everybody in Bikini Bottom is a complete moron. The only people I don't have a problem with are Sandy, Pearl, and Mrs. Puff (who also hates putting up with the yellow doofus).Those Two Guys: I'm sometimes paired with Mr. Krabs, especially in earlier seasons as we're both adults unlikeSpongeBob and Patrick.Throw the Dog a Bone: When I'm not being tormented every single episode, there are a few ones where I actually got a happy ending. "Band Geeks" is my prime example. Eat that, Squilliam! SpongeBob even gave meabs when I was a superheroand even when I was unwillingly turned back to normal!Yank the Dog's Chain: I'm a constant victim of this too, unfortunately. Whenever something good actually does happen to me, it usually only lasts for a while right before something random ruins it for me. Sometimes,even those two nimrods don't want me to stop enjoying myself.Trademark Favorite Food: Canned Bread is my favorite food. And I also like smoked sausages, which is not a coincidence they are shaped like my nose.Ultimate Job Security: I may very well be the trope of never being fired regardless of how poor I do my job, which I really don't care at all because I reallyhatemy job at the Krusty Krab. I can't stand the customers who buy such low-quality food, and I'll haveSpongeBobdo all of the work while I nap. To tell you the truth, I actually wanted to get fired, but sadly, that will never happen. As you learned from "SpongeBob, You're Fired," the reason Mr. Krabs fired him instead of me, despite the yellow numbskull being a better employee than I am, is because I have seniority.To be fair, I have tried quitting. Many, many times. But,somehow, I always end up back at penny-pincher central.The Unapologetic: When I made SpongeBob cry by pulling that horrible prank on him, I felt bad, but I had a hard time apologizing to him. (And thanks to my conscience, I did.) Then I also remember making him cry by reading his work diary, and then hisrealdiary! It was such fun!I didn't even care anymore that the whole town was assaulting me for it.Ungrateful Bastard: It didn't matter if SpongeBob and Patrick did something to make up for ruining my day, I still lash out at them. Sometimes, I'm wrong for this, but in other cases, the nice things they've done for me will ruin my day even further.Throughout "Sponge-Cano", I (rightfully) complained about how I'm not grateful for anything, especially being SpongeBob's neighbor, and that I am the most miserable person in Bikini Bottom (which is true, by the way, if you know how much pain I've been through). At the end of the episode, SpongeBob saved me from falling down the volcano, but I was lying to him about being grateful for his help and only said that just so he can save me.Okay, maybe I only said that I was lying because I was upset about almost getting killed for nothing, losing my house so it could plug up the volcano, and having no choice but to sleep under his roof, but it's not like I'd really thank him.Unstoppable Rage: There are times I get mad whenever SpongeBob and Patrick ruin my day, but there are even times when Ireallylose it when I just couldn't take any more of their antics. Trust me, it's not a pretty sight for them.Vague Age: I'm usually seen as older than SpongeBob due to my maturity, but depending on the episode, I'm either the same age as him or around the middle ages due to my grouchy neighbor status. How unrealistic.Vitriolic Best Buds: Oh puh-leeze, I'm not friends with that obnoxious yellow oaf!Okay, maybe there are times when I sorta like the little weirdo, but he can't know that. At least not if he doesn't already.(SpongeBob: Aw, Squidward! That was touching! I'm so glad we're friends!) What are you doing here, SpongeBob? Go back to your page! You know they won't let you bother me as much here!Whew, good thing that was one of the easier times I've told him. I think I'm gonna like this place just fine. You might as well leave too unless you have any other tropes to add.I heard there are things here that are more harmful to you than me...Alternative Title(s):Sponge Bob Square Pants Squidward Tentacles

I'm a maaaaaaagical princess from another dimension! But you knew that already, didn't 'ya?(If you want to channel the magic of the butterfly princess, try to imagine the page being read byEden Sher;Kana Uedaif you're a Japanese reader; or Agustina Cirlunik if you're a Spanish reader from Latin America.)*A portal in the fabric of reality rips open in front of you. Shortly afterward, a blonde teenage girl holding a bright, glowing wand and a pair of scissors jumps through the portal as it closes*Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii! My name is Star Butterfly! Sorry about jumping out at you. It's a long story. I was using my dimensional scissors that my friend Ponyhead gave to me. I wassupposedto be picking up nachos for my buddy Marco! But, I guess I messed up a bit. Now I'm here, in this weird...place with all these words? And what's that text at the top saying Self Demonstrating? The heck is going in here?Oh, wait, I'm sorry, where are my manners! You're probably confused, aren't you? Apologies. Anyways, like I said, my name is Star Butterfly! I'm the princess of Mewni, a far off kingdom from another dimension! I was supposed to take the family wand up and become the new queen, but...uh...well, I don't like to dwell on it. So my parents sent me to this weird place called Earth, where people who look just like me spend their time NOT doing magical spells and rather go to this place called School and do this weird thing called Math. Weird huh? I don't get it! Where are the warnicorns!?But, whatever. Once I was enlisted as a thing called a "Foreign Exchange Student", I moved in with my pal Marco. Marco...is awesome. He's bestest bestest best friend in the world! Or...at least on Earth. My other friend Ponyhead is more my best friend in Mewni. But anyways, Marco is awesome, like I said! He makes nachos, he knowskah-rah-tah(that's how you say it right? And why are those words blue?) and he has feelings for thisotherawesome friend of mine, Jackie Lynn Thomas! I was able to help him get a date or two with her and now their officially boyfriend and girlfriend! BF and GF! But...I dunno, I do feel like Marco could do better.(There it is again! Weird.)Oh, but whatever. Sadly, not everything is great. Recently I kinda had to go back to Mewni with my mom because Toffee was out to get me. ...Oh wait, I never talked about Toffee, did I? Oh my gosh, how could I forget Toffee! Yeah, so, basically I like to fight monsters as a hobby. One of these monsters is this weird ugly bird thing called Ludo. He kinda sounds like my dad if my dad were evil, short and wore rags. We had to team up once to defeat Toffee, who is this evil lizard guy who apparently sounds likean infamous serial killer.I don't hear it. Anyway, he pretended to work for Ludo before turning the tables on him and taking over. He kidnapped Marco andmade me choose between letting him die and destroying my wand.I chose the latter. We got rid of him... or so I thought. Now he's apparently possessing Ludo's body and preparing to come looking for me. Mewni's about to go to war and I need to be there...But, let's not focus on that right now!I think I know how to get out of here. So, I took a look around while I was explaining all that. It says that if I list these things called "troop-ees" about myself, then I might be able to get out of here. Well, okay then. I'm sure I could do that!I mean, anything to get out of here.(Okay seriously, what is this blue text about?}And don't worry about me when I get back. Things might look bad but they always work out in the end. Especially when I'm involved! I'm Star Butterfly! I always win! Right?Right?Trope-tastic TEXT DISPLAY!!!Action Girl: Oh, totally! Even though I kinda find magic to be a bit hard, I've been kicking monster butt for a long time!Alien Catnip: I! Love! Sugar! I put it on everything, even burritos. For some odd reason Marco doesn't like that.Ambiguously Bi: StarFan13 has a crush on me. So what? It's cute! ...Hey, what does "ambiguous" mean anyhow?Attack! Attack! Attack!: Why are so many people always about having to plan out their attacks and stuff? If you see a threat or a monster, just kick their butt!Broken Pedestal: Mina Loveberry used to be my hero! ...But, Marco was right, she is kind of cray-cray.Brought Down to Badass: I lose my wandfartoo many times than I would like to confess. Fortunately, I think I'm still pretty good at whooping butts!Brought Down to Normal:I soon realized that magic has brought nothing but misery to both Mewmans and monsters alike. So, me and my family dipped down and made it gone. Forever.Character Tic: *chewing on wand* Huh?Comically Invincible Hero: Like I said, I'm not too great with my wand. But even without it, I tend to win most fights that I come across, whether it be with magic or hand-to-hand! What can I say? I'm blasting monsters and I never break a sweat!Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: A lot of people think I'm just a normal everyday girl. And I am! You know, unless you ask for a knuckle sandwich.Determinator: If I have a goal, I aim for it! I once spent up all night trying to find a spell to fix Marco's weird tentacle monster arm! ...It Makes Sense in Context.Dude Magnet: Used to date this one demon called Tom. Now I'm hanging out with Marco! It's great to have so many friends.Easily Impressed: Whoa! What's that thing over there!? Random Trope? Indexes? Forums!? Holy cow, this place has everything! ...Uh, what are they exactly?Even the Girls Want Her: StarFan13 is the second best me I know!Everything's Better with Rainbows: Well, yeah! And sunshine! And puppies! And bunnies and kittens and ponies and sugaritos and nachos and chinese food and-Everything's Better with Sparkles: I love glittery things! But not as much as I love sparkly things!Expy: I've been compared toa certain horned, green-haired princess from another world.Fish out of Water: Eh he he he he he. Uh, when I first came to Earth, things were a little hard to understand. I had no idea what the places history is, what customs they have, what foods the humans enjoy. Thankfully, my buddy Marco helped me with that.Golden Super Mode:So this is what dipping down feels like. Now I know howthose other guys do it.Green-Eyed Monster: What are you talking about!? It's perfectly fine that Marco is dating Jackie! But...really? Why Jackie? I mean, she's awesome and all, but Marco could do SO much better! Like, seriously, just because they've been together since kindergarten doesn't mean that he should just startdatingher. It's just so- ...*sigh* Nevermind. Sorry, I got carried away there.Jackie better be good to you while I'm gone, Marco.Interspecies Romance: Well, I used to date Tom like I said.If it weren't for Toffee coming back and, well...Jackie... Maybe Marco and I could've had something... Much earlier than we did at least.Love Confession:I told Marco that I loved him right in front of everyone. I couldn't just leave to go fight a war against Toffee without telling him how I felt!Magical Girl: Uh, duh!Raised by Dudes: Kinda. I got most of my combat skills from the Mewni royal guards.Second Love:Marco, definitely. Or at least, it might have been if I could have just told him before Jackie and everything else happened.Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: What do you mean nemesis? Me and Brittany are great friends! You know, she gave me a lollipop once! I mean, it was on the floor, already eaten and she said "why don't you suck on this", but it's the thought that counts!Stepford Smiler: Um, nope! I'm perfectly fine! My smiles are always bright and genuine! Nothing fazes this girl! I can handle anything!Marco... Why did I just leave you behind? I need you...The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Ooh,did I ever tell you about this one time I entered a sand-castle contest?! So I was trying to make the perfect sand-castle but then I kept messing it up, and thenthis one kidgot a little peeved at me for ruininghissand castle so I tried to make things better by cheering him up with a good ol' Cupcake Blast! I think it worked. Then things got a little crazy,I might have dipped down and vaporized him and everything around me... but on the plus side, I won! Too bad about the other guy though. Would've been sooo cool if we were friends. Those people running Death Battle are nothing but sadistic bullies.Winged Humanoid: My mewberty wings are growing strong!Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Ireallydon't like it at St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses. They take you and strip you of any individuality you have! Urrgh! Remember, "It's not criminal to be an individual!"*Another portal rips open*Oh hey, whaddaya know? It worked! Well, I gotta go. This was sooo much fun! Let's do this again sometime! See ya again soon! Byeeeeeee!!!

Leader of The Decepticons!(For best effect, read in the voice of Chris Latta, Doug Parker, Michael Dobson, Charlie Adler, Tom Kenny, Steve Blum, Scott Whyte or Billy Bob Thompson)MEGATRON HAS FALLEN!I, STARSCREAM, AM NOW THE HEAD OF TV TROPES!Yes, foolish fleshings, feast your eyes on the true leader of all, ME!...I said, I AM NOW YOUR LEADER!...I see you are failing to grasp your current predicament. Very well, then perhaps I shall regale you with tales of my prominence. I. Am. Starscream, true leader of the Decepticon Army and greatest commander of the Seekers known to all! My origins are rather...hmmmm. Come to think of it,there are quite a few options, aren't there?Well, the most simple of them begins some time ago, on your wretched world in the year 1984. It would seem that there were those who had somehow heard of our exploits from Cybertron, and elected to sell small effigies of our likenesses to you fleshings. They simply chose to do so by exporting small figurines from elsewhere, then renaming them to fit the settings and names of our war. For some reason, theymisconstrued my name as "Ulchtar!"Me! Fortunately, they realized the error of their ways and properly corrected their mistake. From that point forward, you humans worshiped the very ground on which I stood. Somehow or another, you deemed me the greatest of the Decepticons, in no small part thanks to thosebroadcasted recordings of our adventures. Well,a version of them anyway. Nevertheless, you wished for me, Starscream, to be leader of the Decepticons, as you bore witness to my multiple attempts toseize commandfrom that incompetent wretch! Alas, they never seemed to succeed. Perhaps I underestimated his strength, or perhaps that accursed Optimus Prime dared to intervene. But I still continued to function. Well,for a time. YetI managed to cheat death itself, and to this day continue to plot my schemes of conquering the universe and ending Megatron's reign once and for all!I would also wish to note that it was I and I alone who managed to earn himself the rightful place of being the first Cybertronian to earn himself a page on this website. If anyone else does so, it will be automatically inferior to my own, for who could compare to my greatness? And yes, I am well aware thatterrorist leader who sounds conveniently like megot his own page first, but I'm willing to forgive the transgressions of one who clearly recognizes my genius. However, I will take great pleasure in exacting my revenge onthat insufferable Vulcan half-breedwhohumiliated me! And woe befall on thatsnarky paranormal investigatorif he ever dares toshow his face!Furthermore, shouldthat treacherous androidand thatinsolent teenagerwho both made melook foolishdare to show themselves, I will see to it they perish before THE GREAT AND POWERFUL STARSCREAM!!! And don't think I've forgotten about you,pretender! And you best leave your clumsy hands off my page, youaccursed Autobot! And it seems now thatmy former hostis now on here.Great...Now, it would be wise to read the entirety of this page and learn of my greatness.Your lives may very well depend on it.Such tendencies of mine include:Adaptational Badass:Adaptational!?I amalwaysthe greatest of Decepticons! It matters not if I happen to exist incrude drawings,heavily detailed computing,a mix of the two, or in thosecomputergamesas no one, not even Megatron himself, could compare to my greatness!Adaptational Heroism: Ugh. The version of me fromthe first of thatTransformers anime trilogy. That me is a cross between my usual self andthe turncoat Predacon, so in there I'mmean on the outside, but a kind bot at heart.BLEH! I don't care ifthatmade me the show's most popular character! Istillfind it disgusting!The depiction of me in thecomic universeofIDW Publishingisself serving as everbut I do find myself allying with the heroes far more often against bigger threatsand evengave my lifeto ensure Unicron's destruction.Adaptational Villainy: On the other hand, there's thatversion of me who tried to destroy the universe, almost making Megatron look cuddly by comparison. I'm proudly evil, butI draw the line at destroying Cybertron(sans whenpriorityis in need), out ofspite, no less!Agent Peacock: It would seem I will have to remind you of this constantly, so here's where I begin. I am undoubtedly, shall we say, a showoff, but do not assume I can't and will end you. ForI. Am. Starscream.Back from the Dead: Strangely enough, this seems to be a habit for me. Perhaps Primus is either recognizing of my brilliance, or is trying to play a cruel trick of fate. Either way,STARSCREAM LIVES FOR ETERNITY!Thathuman drivel you fleshlings seem to obsess oversaw me return from being blasted into ashes after Unicron brought back Megatr—er, Galvatron. Not even he could end me! (For the record, how was I supposed to know there'd be a giant robotic planet out in space resurrecting my fallen leader!? I thought this would be easier than shooting cyberducks in a barrel!) On that note, Cyclonus and Scourge did make for excellent hosts... that buffoonWaspinatorserved his purpose for a time, but there was something rather unusual about his cerebral cortex. Quite resilient for a weakling if I might add. Oh, and because I amsomehow obligatedto appease the humans who worship me, yes, apparently the hairy namesake of that wretched Optimus explained my spark was indestructible.Then you fleshings had to go andallow me to get humiliatedby thoseparanormal investigating humans! I was sohumiliated.Strangely, my infamous exploits in thatunusual rodent'sstorieshad me brought back after I slaughtered nearly everyone. Worst yet, Megatron made me his mindless slave! Me!It seems this happened to mea few timesin that one tale.Oh, the humiliation doesn't end.That one version of medied more times than I care to count. Indestructible, my servos! AND WHY DOES HE SOUND LIKETHAT YELLOW CREATURE EVERYONE IS OBSESSED OVER!Bad Boss: WHAT?!?! I AM NOT! I just refuse to tolerate insubordination, that's all! I didn't scheme my way to becoming Decepticon leader for nothing! I expect my underlings to do as I command, and if they don't, I WILL USE THEIR LIFELESS SHELLS AS MY THRONE! *ahem* If there is one thing Megatron and I actually agree on, it's that you cannot lead the Decepticons effectively through kindness and compassion. A successful Decepticon leader teaches his minions respect through fear, out of concern for the consequences of disobedience.Be Careful What You Wish For:I actually succeeded in becoming the ruler of Cybertron once. It wasn't nearly as fun I was liked. I only thought about the power of the position,not the work I'd have once I got it.Berserk Button: Do. Not. Threaten. My. Position! EVER! Disagree with whether or not I can successfully lead the Decepticons all you like, but insinuate that I am even incapable of commanding the Seekers? YOU WILL BE TORN LIMB FROM LIMB!It seems one of myalternate selveshad this issue when that annoyingly logical Shockwave came by and started acting like he ran theNemesis. As if that pathetic suck-up wasn't bad enough, but to force my counterpart to share command duties? I would have scrapped him myself if this Megatron wasn't so...frightening.Big Bad Wannabe: I amnota mere "wannabe", you ignorant waste of atoms! I am the rightful heir to the throne of the Decepticons! ...Okay, I admit, my ambitions are a little stronger than some other Decepticons, but at least I'm not trying to hide them!Boss's Unfavorite Employee: Somehow, Megatron always wants to scrap me and very few others. Soundwave and Shockwave? He wouldn't dare touch them. The other troops? Only if they cross him. But every single time I so much as enter the room, I'm immediately in his crosshairs.Bullying a Dragon: There are times when I find my tendencies of betrayal don't work out so well. Megatron may be intellectually inferior to yours truly, but physically? That's another tale I care not to discuss.Butt-Monkey: Firstly, I am not an inferior primate, nor do I resemble anything closely related to a tailpipe! I'm just...resilient! Yes, resilient!Megatron may harm me as often as he wish, but I am— (gets punched by Megatron) —just going to lie here and beg for mercy for a while...! Oh great now the fleshbags have added in their"karma"just to rub it in!Came Back Wrong: Why does my resurrection as a mindless servant at Megatron's leisure happen so frequently? I amnothis subservient stooge!Can't Kill You, Still Need You: This is one reason Megatron hasn't scrapped me, besides the obvious fact that I can't actuallybescrapped. While I seek nothing more than to become the Decepticon leader myself, I am often an effective lieutenant when I'm forced to toe the line. Indeed, if that bootlicking Soundwave isn't the one to wield Megatron in his laser rifle mode during a battle, it's usually me!Card-Carrying Villain: And quite proudly! I would never stoop so low as to be "good", especially where those pathetic Autobot scum are concerned. Evil is in my nature!Cassandra Truth: Do you know how many times I've told Megatron there's a far more efficient strategy to destroying the Autobots, only to be brushed off? I have been forced to stop keeping count.Character Tic: Evidently, the effigies you make of me tend to look rather different from time to time. I mean,how many of them have you made?Regardless, it seems one version fromthose brilliant mindsalways changed physical appearances a great number of times.Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: No matter who stands in my way, betrayal is inevitable. I will not allow anyone, especially Megatron, to stand in my way of ruling!Co-Dragons: In spite of my more...rebellious tendencies, I hold authority in the Decepticon ranks second only to Megatron (for now). That being said, those lecherous loyalists Soundwave and Shockwave still hold equal standing. I will have to deal with that once Megatron is destroyed.Complete Monster: Oh yes. There are a few versions of me out there who are so despicable, even I am appalled by their actions. Such asthat version of me who is willing to blow up the universe.Composite Character: The dub of theUnicron Trilogydoes this to me and everyone else with the dub ofTransformers: Cybertron, since the original version had no connection to the previous two series. As a result of the two unrelated continuities being connected, two different versions of me were combined into one character.Cool Plane: Truly you think so little of me to not recognize this as part of my motif?Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Though you may think of me as a coward (and to those who do,I will dispose of you later), I am a brilliant scientist with plenty of combat and strategical experience. If anything was to go wrong, I will find a way to scheme my way out of it. Rememberthe Combaticons? I made them just because Megatron had the nerve to kick me out! Well who was laughing then, Megatron? ME!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...wait, didn't the Stunticons foil that scheme? SCRAP!Deadpan Snarker: I'm not shy to snidely remark on how poor we are performing in this war. It's just that Megatron fails to recognize my criticisms. And they say I'm the one with the ego problem.Decomposite Character: When thatyellow little annoyancemy creators won't stop fawning overgot his own movie, they kept me involved. Yet, for reasons I couldn't understand, they took that idiot Blitzwing and made him look like me.LIKE ME!WHY? HE IS INFERIOR TO ME! I AM THE ULTIMATE POWER! I...wait,he died?Heh. Serves him right.The Determinator: Destroy or beat me all you wish. I won't stop until I, Starscream, claim leadership ofTHE DECEPTICONS!Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?: In testament to my skills as rightful Decepticon leader, I managed to outwit that fool Unicron himself! I promised him to deliver a new body, but when I was unable to move thanks to those accursed Autobots, I convinced the giant to grant me life once again. Then I left him to perish! Alas, my time amongst the living may have been short lived thanks to Galvatron, but even he couldn't boast to fooling such a horror.Dirty Coward: I like to stay quite polished, thank you very much! However, I am least well aware enough to leave once myglorious leader's brilliant planfalters. Is it any wonder this war isn't over?The Dragon:Dragon.Hmmmmm. Idolike the sound of that. But this will soon be inaccurate, for once Megatron is destroyed, I WILL RULE THE DECEPTICONS!Demonic Possession: If I perish, there isn't any bot out there that I won't take over. Hmmmmm. Perhaps Megatron may make a suitable host yet...Even Evil Has Standards: I will gladly betray Megatron or any other petulant peons to get what I deserve, but if Cybertron itself is at death's door, I will work to save it regardless.Depending on how I feel.Evil Genius: More so than thatpathetic brown-noserSoundwave, if I might add.Evil Is Not a Toy: I wouldn't describe the power of the Underbase as evil (well, until I got ahold of it). It's more of what you'd call a "tool". That being said, my destruction at its hands was probably a sign I shouldn't have absorbed it all. Well,aside from me killing more Autobots and Decepticons than Megatron ever did.Evil Sounds Deep:Hardly. My audio processors are rather loud to ensure all know who rules them. Thoughafewversionsof myself do sound rather sinister.Expy: Evidently, some of you creatures think I happen to bear a strong resemblance to thatbaffling trickster you can't seem to stop fawning over. He is nowhere near my level! I am far more brilliant (and, dare I say, handsome) than he is!Fatal Flaw: I am not "flawed" in any way! I ammerely forced to put up with the incompetence of others who fail to recognize my brilliance and skills as leader of the Decepticons!It'snot my faultthey refuse to see Megatron for the inferior leader he truly is!Faustian Rebellion: Few can say they've outsmarted Unicron and live to tell the tale. I am one of those few. Give me the body, and I'll leave you to perish!Faux Affably Evil: Underestimate me at your own peril. I may know when toadmit defeat, but I've earned the right to rule. Ask the multiple Autobots and Decepticons who fell victim to the power of the Underbase.Fountain of Expies: As I am an iconic part of the Transformers franchise, I have managed to inspire the creation of similar characters who seek to lead the Decepticons.Scorponok's anime incarnationhas all of my ambitions and the smarts to carry them out, but he hasnone of my ethics. Hedestroyed Cybertronjust to ensure his leadership over the Decepticons, even I wouldn't go that farusually. His plan worked for a while until Galvatron somehow returned from the blast that destroyed the planet. Scorponok would become the leader again via dumb luck when the Autobots managed to kill Galvatron.Transformers Victoryhas two Decepticons in this role,Leozackand his subordinate Hellbat. Leozack has my ambition to overthrow his leader Deathsaurus, and I hardly blame him as Deathsaurustends to sit around doing nothing all dayand hispunishments for failure are worse than Megatron's punishments for disobedience. Sadly, even though Leozack kept his ambitions a secret, Deathsaurus still found out and frightened Leozack into obedience. Hellbat resembles me more in many ways, except instead of leading the Decepticons, he just wants to overthrow Leozack as Deathsaurus' second in command. I would mock his lack of ambition, but given how much Hellbat screws up with even that meager goal, he would probably dig his own grave trying to overthrow Deathsaurus.Almost all of thePredaconsbetrayed Megatron at some point, but that flier Terrorsaur is explicitly based on me. He has a similar color scheme, flying alt mode, and screechy voice, thoughhe is far too overconfident. He has the sense to try to recruit allies to overthrow Megatron, but anytime he does, he ends up getting used and betrayed, loser. Eventually, Terrorsaur realizes he has no chance of leading the Predacons and that psychotic spider Tarantulas gradually becomes the primary treacherous minion so Terrorsaur got killed at the start of the show's second season.That anime Predacon who bears my namesadly lacks my ambition and just seeks to overthrow Megastorm as Galvatron's second in command. Instead it is Megastorm, anExpyof Megatron, who seeks to overthrow Galvatron.As thatone series about chasing Miniconshas amore heroic version of me, the show's version of Thrust resembles me more than its version of me does. He is acowardlysycophantwho will do anything to get in the good graces of the boss. Oddly, he isn't interested in overthrowing Megatron until Sideways convinces him to work for Unicron. That fool! Thrust actually believes Unicron sees him as someone of value, and thedestroyercrushed him to death by accident and did not even realize it. This is why when I cut a deal with Unicron, I backstabbed him!Freudian Excuse: There is this one setof taleswhere I apparently have a reason for being so evil (what, wanting to kill Megatron after all the years of abuse I took isn't enough?) It seems my counterpart here wascold constructed, and wasunableto assume theAnimesquebody that looked rather snazzy, if I do say so myself.◊The Friend Nobody Likes: I admit, there are few amongst the Decepticons who recognize me as a friend. Fine, none of them! But I have no time for friendships! I must focus on winning the war and destroying the Autobots the only way I know how; as leader!Genius Bruiser: Lest we forget that I once began my illustrious career as a bot of science? It is such knowledge that I have brought my foes to their doom.Ditzy Genius: HOW DARE YOU INSINUATE MY REASONING IS LESS THAN PERFECT! I AM STARSCREAM! I... fine. There were times when I let my ambitions get the better of me. But how can one think properly when you're constantly being tormented by Megatron?Hated by All: For some reason, no Decepticon likes me or would ever acknowledge me as a leader. These imbeciles believe that Megatron is much more effective than me. And to make matters worse, when I finally became a leader of the Decepticons, Megatron came back as Galvatron and killed me! And who mourned my passing and cursed Galvatron's name for murdering their beloved leader? NO ONE!!! But one day, I'llmakethese fools appreciate me, and soon the world will see WHO is the REAL leader of the Decepticons!Hero Killer: In spite of what that sycophantic Soundwave thinks, I have a far better track record of destroying our enemies. Lest we forget that it was I who used thepower of the Underbaseto wipe out nearly all of the Decepticon and Autobot forces who stood in my way? Or myrather sinister counterparteliminated Cliffjumper outright when Megatron couldn't even kill a single Autobot? Never underestimate me. EVER.Inferiority Superiority Complex: For a time, those humans onthat insignificant little islandexplored the idea of me doubting my own capabilities after I returned from the dead. Evidently, slaughtering a great deal of your allies and enemies isn't enough to satisfy one's doubts. That is, until you kill more of them...Informed Attribute: Nothing is ever informed about me! I am exactly as you see before you! Though thewriters of a certain seriesnever bothered to show me trying to replace Megatron as leader, aside from a few snide remarks. Neither did that sillylive-action film series with the fleshlings and explosions. Evidently, they couldn't be bothered to recognize thebrillianceof my constant desire to rule!In-Series Nickname: Refer to me as "Screamer" one more time...It's All About Me: Well of course it's all about me! I actually intend to win this war! Not spend my time worshiping that foolish Megatron! Only I can rule and lead us to victory!I Was Beaten By A Fembot And A Pony:LIES!Slanderous lies! Besides,that jaundiced encounter with those technicolored, pastel, equine mammalswas never canon! Wait, there's a sequel in progress?FINALLY!I WILL HAVE MY RETRIBUTION ON THESE WRETCHED, QUADRUPEDAL, TECHNICOLORED CREATURES! Wait, we're forced to work together with both them and the Autobots?! SCRAAAAAAAAAAAP!noteMegatron:I expect nothing less from you, Starscream.Yesss.Jerkass: Okay, I admit, I have little room in my programming for kindness. You expect me toact as if I'm responsible for everyone's well being and treat Megatron with kindness and respect?Wait,seriously?!More to the point, one thing Megatron and I actually agree on is that you can't command respect from the Decepticons by beingniceto them. They'll simply consider you a weak pushover if they don't simply scrap you. If you want them to respect you and follow your command in battle, they have tofearyou and your wrath.Jerkass Has a Point: As unpleasant as I may be to some, my advice is often sound. There wasmany such instancesI warned Megatron about how foolhardy his plan was. But did he ever listen to me?Take a wild guess. And the Autobots would come charging in and halt our schemes. Is it little wonder I wish to see him deposed?Joker Immunity: No matter what sort of trouble I cause for the Autobots or Megatron, nothing can kill me.I will return from the dead,take control of great power,seek my vengeance,or bring the universe to its knees!Death or defeat is merely an inconvenience.Not even Primus himself could stop me from taking it all!Karma Houdini: Even though my tendencies led Megatron to beat me within an inch of my life, I always managed to avoid being destroyed. Guess Megatron needed me more than he cares to admit! Well,that is until I pushed my luck too far.And that one time I should have made sure Megatron stayed dead.And that one time I betrayed Megatron and tried to conquer the Klingon Empire. Okay, so maybe my efforts aren't as successful as I'd hoped.Large Ham: Again, I do not bear even the slightest of resemblance to your edibles! I simply pronounce myself as loudly as I must, that's all!Lightning Bruiser: Few can doubt my mastery of the air. As Commander of the Seekers, I possess a speed befitting of my standing, and can battle against even the mightiest of foes.Meaningful Name: Apparently the flesh creature who named me thought I wouldbe yelling into space for some reason. For the record,I DO NOT YELL ALL THE TIME!noteAlso, some of my more devoted fans have said that my creator felt the name "Ulchtar" didn't make sense. I will give him credit; Starscream is more memorable. Who would recallThe Ulchtar?It just sounds so unnerving to even say.Multiple-Choice Past: Was I a former Autobot before I joined the Decepticons, or was I always a Decepticon? Was I part of the Decepticons from the beginning or did I join in the middle of the war? It doesn't matter where I came from, none of it changes who I am.Not-So-Harmless Villain: To those who underestimate me, I warn you of this: in spite of my demeanor andnatural tendencies, I can, and will, end you if I so choose. Lest we forget,I laid waste to Autobot City.I killed scores of Autobots and Decepticons with limitless power.I brought Cybertron's greatest power into my possession, andI nearly brought all of reality to its end. Never assume me for a fool, for it will be the last thing you will ever do.One-Hit Kill: My Null Ray may look simplistic, but the weaklings amongst the Autobots will instantly shut down upon impact. A shame I can't get this to work on Megatron or Prime. Oh, all the trouble it would have saved me.Our Ghosts Are Different: For lack of a better term, yes, I cannot perish (well,most versions of me anyway). My spark cannot be destroyed, allowing me to reign supreme over—what is that? Please tell me it isn't...oh no, not them!Out-of-Character Moment: There was one such time that I was forced to hold back when that bumbling triple changer Astrotrain decided topose as a godin front of those unsuspecting fools on Titan. Then again, that idiot was acting a little too much like Megatron. Perhaps it was wise not to try and go after him. For all I know, that could have been Megatron in disguise!Paint It Black: If I am "borrowing" unsuspecting individuals whenever I end up as a specter, I usually take the time to make a few improvements to better match my iconic appearance.Palette Swap: My body type seems to be rather popular amongst you humans. I've noticed that my compatriots Thundercracker and Skywarp often are created alongside your tributes to my genius whenever possible. And those bumbling Coneheads for some reason. And the Rainmakers? You really seem to enjoy those. Wait, who are those Seekers? Are you trying to replace me?!Person of Mass Destruction: After absorbing the Underbase, I proceeded to eliminate all who stood in my way. Autobots and Decepticons alike fell to my power (not even Megatron can boast of such claims). Alas, it destroyed me from within.For a time that is.Pet the Dog: Yes, there are times when even I dare to show weakness and act with compassion (See Megatron! At least I can be bothered to show a little decency!). The humans who made stories in thisone part of your planettold how I actually was touched by this one holiday called "Christmas". To be honest, it actually brought me peace for once on that journey, in spite of the fact that I found myself at my lowest point. Perhaps there ismore to this Christmas than I had once thought...Put on a Bus: Those accursed fleshings dared to leave me out of their stories! Me! The sole reason why all even bother to pay attention to this war in the first place!They even forced me to remain in prison!Or left me out altogether!Or killed me!Fortunately, there are those that recognize how boring things would get if I wasn't around.Rage Against the Mentor: Well, why wouldn't I? All Megatron ever does is disrespect me, treat me like scrap, and berate and belittle me whenever I commit the slightest of failures! In spite of all I have done for the cause, he refuses to think of me as an equal! He will pay...Really 700 Years Old: Unlike you organics who age and die, Cybertronians can survive indefinitely as long as we have a supply of Energon. How old I am, like other major characters in the franchise, depends on the incarnation. I might be mere thousands of years old in your Earth years, ormillions.Red Ones Go Faster: What can I say? I am the master of the skies. Naturally, red looks good on me anyway.Sissy Villain:...Excuse me!?My insistence on being rightfully respected by the Decepticon army doesnotmake me look "bitchy" in any sort of way, nor does my less... grandiose body compared to Megatron! Although not helping matters isthat one realitywhere my body was slender andhigh-heeled, of all features.Andthat other onewhere a clone of mejust happened to be female. And yes, admittedly, out of all Earth fauna I feelcatsare the least intolerable. But I assure you, making fun of me is still a fool's errand if you actually value your worthless lives!Smug Snake: Megatron accuses me of this far too often. I know for a fact that I can do a far better job at winning the war than he can, but he always insists that I only seek the position for the power and never the responsibility. What is power then if not to have it?The Starscream:It pleases me that you humans were wise enough to name one of your phenomenon after yours truly.Though it does insult me they bear little resemblance to me. You might find that changing once I have this world in my grip.Terrible Trio: Rarely will you find me without my loyal compatriots Skywarp and Thundercracker. In fact, you insist upon it!They Killed Kenny Again: FOOLS! Whoever continues to insinuate that I will always be killed no matter what will be TERMINATED! I donotalways perish, and even if I do, you likely won't have seen the last of me!The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Perhaps to be expected of me, buta pair of humans pitted me against...a pony!BWAHAHAH!!Wait? I LOST!? Grr, how DARE you insinuate I would be defeated by a tiny winged equine!By my own weapons no less!Villain with Good Publicity: In my glorious leadership of Cybertron, I held this status. Was the public well aware I was Megatron's former right hand? Absolutely. But they still loved me. What were they going to do? Let Optimus Prime rule it? They couldn't trust that accursed Autobot if their lives depended on it.We Used to Be Friends:Someversionsof me were once compatriots with a fellow scientist named Jetfire (though it baffles me why some of you fleshlings call him Skyfire; it's not like youdon't have a vast base of information at your disposal). Sadly, we found ourselves on opposite sides of the war. Perhaps it's one of the few things I truly regret allowing to end. For all this war has caused, and for all we have lost,he truly was one of the few in my lifetime I could actually call a friend.There. And now that you have been enlightened on the topic of my brilliance, I shall henceforth ascend to leadership of the Decepticons, this siteandyour dunghill of a planet, and you will henceforthspend EVERY WAKING MOMENT of your short and miserable lifespansworshiping none other than I, the grand andmercifulStarscream, OR ELSE—WHAT!? WHO DISRUPTS MY CORONATION!?("Coronation", Starscream? This is bad comedy.)MEGATRON!? Scrap, not again...!

My friends are Phil and Lil from next door, Susie, my cousin Angelica, and by bestest friend Chuckie and his sister Kimi.I like playing games with my friends and going on adventures.

I wasn't happy with Phil and Lil when they tried to take him back to the hopsicle and got us losted in the forest, and if someone says bad things about Dil, I tell them about the neat suff he can do. Whenever I play a game with my friends, I want to make sure Dil can play, too.Clear Their Name: Whenever Spike gets blamed for something bad that he didn't do, it's up to me to prove who did it, but it's kinda hard for me since I can't talk to the growed-ups.Determinator: If I wants to do something, you bet I'm gonna do it... Because A baby's gotta do, what a baby's gotta do!Does Not Like Shoes: Well, I don't mind shoes, I just don't wear them. But the best of my friends wear shoes.The Diaper Change: Sometimes I need my diapie changed, like all babies.Feud Episode: One time, Me and Chuckie stopped being friends after a little incident with a big green box.

My fear went away when I found out I was way too big to fit down the drain.Naked People Are Funny: Once when I saw how happy Spike was being nakie, I decided to take off my clothes and convince my friends to do the same. My daddy and Chuckie weren't very happy about that. In the end, I decided that wearing clothes was much better than being nakie.Out-of-Character Moment: One time, I falled off the jungle gym and became a scaredey cat. That went away when I saw my friends were in trouble and came to rescue them.Sibling Rivalry: Sometimes, I gets mad at my baby brother Dil but I always make it up to him.Trouser Space: I don't gots any pockets, so I keep my screwdriver and whatever else I need inside my diapie.Tropes about big meThe Ace: Played straight, though subverted in "Dude, Where's My Horse?", where I'm shown as being no good at being a cowboy. At least, initially.Big Brother Instinct: Towards Dil.

That is, unless Kimi or Chuckie or pretty much any of my friends... and Angelica takes the lead in certain episode.Heterosexual Life-Partners: Me and Chuckie are still the best of friends like in the original show.Iconic Item: "Memoirs of a Finster" That episode where Kimi discovered that she's of Japanese descent? Onmy side of the storyviewers learned that I still have that toy screwdriver from when I was a baby. I converted that old thing into a keychain and I never leave home without it.Informed Judaism: Averted, as opposed to my infant days. I actually celebrate Hanukkah and Passover, and I once tried the "nice Jewish boy" routine to win a girl's heart.Jerkass Ball:noteYou shouldn't learn that first word, little meWhen I'm frustrated, I often lash out at my friends for no good reason.Prima Donna Director: I have aspirations of being a great film director, and sometimes falls into this.The Scapegoat: There have been a couple of episodes where the entire gang blames me for something I'm not technically responsible for. "Dude, Where's My Horse?" is one such episode.Ship Tease: The entire focus of the episode "TP+KF" is on hinting at a mutual attraction between me and Kimi.Tragic Mistake: In "All Broke Up", my attempt to get my friends off my back about Rachel moving results in them getting Rachel to come back when I already moved on and found a new girl. Really bad move. This ends up causing me to lose Rachel for good.

I was starting to worry you'd actually make me do the whole page.So anyway.You cannot be serious.You just can't. You givea falcon-themed race car driverhis own, you givea sociopathic little boyhis own, you even givean evil talking monkeyhis own, and yet it took you this much time to give me my own Self-Demonstrating page on TV Tropes?!I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked!!Sigh. Anyway, introduction time. I'm Toph Beifong, one of the many female characters on the hit animated series,Avatar: The Last Airbender. If you don't know what happens in it, I'll tell you. Ahem...it mainly takes place in a world where most of the people have developed the incredible skill of bending, which enables us to combine our fighting styles and spiritual energy together to control the legendary four elements:water,earth,fire, andair. Together many people and benders alike made nations that fit their respective element. They are, in this order;the Water Tribe,the Earth Kingdom,the Fire Nation, andthe Air Nomads. A long time ago, all four of these nations lived together in peace and harmony. But sadly everything changed for the worse when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, the only one able to master all four of the elements, could take care of them. Unfortunately for all of us, when the world needed him most, he just vanished, and we were just left to be sitting ducks. Because of this, a massive war took all the peace and strangled it like it was just a mere throat in the millions of people that we lost fighting it. The biggest casualty has to have been the Air Nomads, since Fire Lord Sozin launched an attackthat left the Nomads a little worse for the wear.About a hundred years of this war has been going on, and many fear that the Avatar's cycle of reincarnation was broken. But one day, Katara and Sokka, two Water Tribe siblings, found the new Avatar; an airbender, and by extension, the last airbender. The airbender's name is Aang, and while he is an amazing airbender, he has to learn the other elements before he can save the world. Now that you're caught on what the show is about, now it's time to tell you who I am. I'm a young girl who is one of the members of Team Avatar, a group of young heroes that have dedicated their summer, and by extension, their lives, to save the world from the clutches of the evil Fire Nation's rule. I'm Aang's earthbending teacher, as well as the team's only earthbender. Here's a description of who I am in just one little sentence:I am the greatest earthbender in the world!!I know that sounds egocentric at first, but trust me, I can prove it in about a second. Anyway, if you want my life story, you're gonna hafta either watch the show or read on. I'll be honest, I got a lot done with Aang and his friends. I held my own in battle, wriggled my toes in the grass (which might have been fur), heck, I even invented metalbending, which no one in the entire world had done. So yeah, I am an invaluable part of Team Avatar, and if it wasn't for me, Aang would've never learned earthbending, the world would've been doomed, and I wouldn't have had the chance to show the world what I'm made of.Anyway, I'm mainly voiced by the cute babyfaced little girl named Jessie Flower, which kinda contrasts with my rough and tumble exterior. I suggest you read all of this in her voice, since her voice is pretty much mine. Okay okay, Iwould eventually be voicedbyKate HigginsandPhilece Sampler(Rest well in the Spirit World Philece) in the sequel series, if you prefer me being bash as an adult that is. And once you're done, earthbend as far away from here as possible.Your life will be ruined if you don't.And for crying out loud,please forget aboutthe movie. Just watch the show. We all know how much of a trainwreck that was. I'm just glad I wasn't in it.Everything about meAchilles' Heel: ...okay, so maybe I'm very reliant on my"tremor sense"to function. Unfortunately, while it's very useful, it's not foolproof, and has a few holes.First off, I can't sense anything if it's in water or in the air. As such, I can't swim and I'm extremely vulnerable to aerial attacks. I guess I should be lucky that there weren't any airbenders besides Aang in the past 100 years, or else I really would've been helpless.Secondly, standing on anything other than solid earth will affect my "vision," making me weaker or helpless depending on circumstances. When I stood on wood, I had to hold Aang's arm while walking.Finally,taking out my footing or injuring my feetwill leave meactually blinduntil I get better.Affirmative Action Girl: I'm the second girl in the second season, so yeah.Agony of the Feet: I can walk barefoot on any surface no problem, but try giving me a foot massage and Iwillthrow you across the room. There's also that time I accidentally stepped on fire, but whowouldn'tthat hurt?Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Well, Girl:Yes,yes,and yes. I'm ablind girlthatmakes it known that I'mthe greatest earthbender in the world whenever I get the chance.And I've got the skills to prove it.I've participated in anundergroundfighting tournament and instantly became its champion, repeatedly got into fights with huge guys with arms larger than I am just tocurbstomp themseconds later, createdmetalbending, and I overall live and breathe this trope. When I found out that the Ember Island Players' play chronicling our adventures was portraying me as a burly man who sees by screaming, I was ecstatic.Badass Adorable: On the outside, you usually see a cute little girl. On the inside, you see one of the strongest earthbenders in the world between Xin Fu, who ran Earth Rumble VI, and King Bumi, who can earthbend with his face.Badass Boast: I called myself "the greatest earthbender in the world" after I metalbended out of an inescapable cage. My captors were horrified, and rightfully so.Badass Teacher: Who taught Aang earthbending?Badbutt: I'm a tiny blind girl who acts like a pro wrestler within the bounds of a kid's show.Beyond the Impossible: I inventedmetalbending, something that was stated to be impossible for many earthbenders to do so.The Big Gal: Yes! Well, you don't see it physically, you see it through my personality and my earthbending skills. The Ember Island Players' play made fun of this since an actual big guy played me in the play they made about our adventures.Bizarre Alien Senses: My ability to "see" using earthbending counts as this, as the closest thing to it in your world could be snakes or elephant's ability to detect low-frequency sounds through the ground.Black Comedy: I have absolutely no problem using my blindness for a laugh or two or to make a point.Black Magician Girl: I happen to be a twelve-year-old girl andsnarking goddesswho dealsmountainsof damageto villains. I also love dealing out a good offensive smackdown using my earthbending.Blind Mistake:...(sigh)It happened during the Serpent's Pass incident. While I was struggling in the water after the Serpent smashed Katara's ice bridge, I mistook Suki for Sokka after she saved me and kissed her on the cheek. I've been trying to forget about it ever since.While we were looking for Appa, I tried to prove I can put up missing posters of Appa despite my blindness...and I ended up putting one of them upside down, so, yeah, fail.noteSokka:Does anyone wants to tell her she actually glued the poster's content right onto the wall...(Sokka sees the rest of the Gaang run for it)OH COME GUYS! Don't leave me with her!When Sokka tried to challenge Zuko to a sword duel, I held up a poster cheering for Zuko, upside down.The Duke noticed and fixed it.Blind Weaponmaster: I'm a blindearthbendingmaster.Blue Blood: Okay, there only was one upside to my family: they're a well-known family, complete with a family crest. I'm usually not one to brag about it, but my aristocratic background has come in handy on a few occasions.Boisterous Bruiser: "Yeah! Let's break some rules!" SMASH!Break the Haughty: I admit I was a bit of aspoiled little piece of workwith amassive sense of entitlementwhen I first joined Aang, Katara, and Sokka. After being told by Zuko's uncle Iroh that good friends help one another out, I started to grow out of it, but it wasn't until I failed to protect Appa from being kidnapped by sandbenders that humility really became an important virtue for me.Bruiser with a Soft Center: I show affection by punching people.Brilliant, but Lazy: When the team needed to infiltrate high society, I said that Aang and Sokka would stick out like sore thumbs. When they pointed out that I was the biggest slob in the group, I fired back that I was alonely girlwhose parentsforced me to act cultured, I justchosenot to.Brutal Honesty: I'm often brutally honest when criticizing others, especially my friends. In fact, I'm very honest about my opinions on others regardless of status (in this case, the Avatar, Aang) or age (in this case, Zuko's uncle, Iroh).Child Prodigy: I'm one of the youngest benders you get to see, yet I'm already one of the most powerful not-the-Avatar earthbenders. Also, I invented metalbending on the fly when I was captured, which was believed to be an impossible skill. And by the time Sozin's Comet came knocking, I'm able to sandbend, despite saying that I hated sand when we were in the desert. Eat your heart out,Anakin Skywalker.Cool Crown: Sometime after Fire Lord Ozai's defeat, I switched out my headband for a green tiara. It reflects my new position as head of the Beifong Metalbending Academy.Curb-Stomp Battle:The second I show up,I deliver one of these to the group of professional earthbenders in Earth Rumble VI.Also, Team Avatar, which includes me, easily decimated the palace guards on our way to find the Earth King.Cute Bruiser: I'm the shortest of all of Team Avatar, yet I manage to dole out the most butt-kicking of all of them.Dig Attack: I can do this: since I "see" through vibrations in the ground, I know where the enemy is even underground.Disability Superpower: Although blindness isn't really a requisite for an earthbender to use my method of "seeing", it did lead me to focus my senses to an unprecedented degree, allowing me to see things approaching or beneath me in great detail and leading to my invention of metalbending.Deadpan Snarker: Along withDisabled Snarker. Some of the show's best lines are from me, especially when I'm talking trash to my opponents. For instance:Me (to Bumi):Look, Pops, just because you're as old as dirt doesn't mean you know how to bend it.Disabled Snarker: Mostly at Sokka's expense.Dishing Out Dirt: Uh, hello, earthbender?Does Not Like Shoes:I have a reason for that. Because I'm blind, my bare feet are the strongest connection I have to the world. Anything that's not solid ground (or even moderate bandaging) dampens my "vision". I made sure to prove it too; whenever I'm asleep, I have my feet out of contact with the ground as the equivalent of"closing my eyes."◊Drill Sergeant Nasty: During Aang's earthbending training, I was tough, critical, and I used methods like "hold still while a large boulder rolls its way towards you". Eventually I lightened up on him after I butted heads with Katara.Dude Magnet: Well, there was Satoru when we went to that refinery who took an almost-instant liking to me. Then, there's the two guys who fathered my daughters, one's name being Kanto.Evil Laugh: I let out an amazing maniacal laugh when I was acting as the Melon Lord. I loved every single second of it!Extra-ore-dinary: How many times do I have to mention that I invented metalbending?The Face: I'm the youngest member of Team Avatar, and yet I'm the one with the most social savvy, due to being raised by rich socialites. Technically, it should be Aang, since he's the Avatar and not me, but I'm usually the one doing the talking.Foil:I'm sort of this to Mai. Both of us were raised by very fancy families that suppressed them, what with my parents overprotecting me because of my blindness and Mai's parents keeping her well-behaved so she didn't jeopardize her dad's political career. I responded by defying my parents, acting out, and really enjoying my earthbending, whereas Mai obeyed them, becoming very insular and apathetic to almost everything.Sometimes, I'm this to Aang. Our upbringings are quite different, as Monk Gyatso believed in letting Aang be a kid, while my parents forced me to learn tradition and propriety. As a result, I start to wonder if Aang's trying to hold onto his past, while Aang wonders if I'm trying too hard to run away from my past.Friendless Background: Due to being sheltered from the outside world by my EXTREMELY overprotective parents, I never made a friend before meeting Aang, Katara, and Sokka. Me becoming part of Team Avatar was important to me changing for the better. The only friends I had were badgermoles.Forgot the Disability: The rest of the group (especially Sokka) tends to forget about me being blind, leading tomany of my legendary one-liners.Sokka:It's so dark in here, I can't see a thing!Me:Oh no, what a nightmare!Sokka: Sorry.It didn't happen when Sozin's Comet arrived, when Sokka, Suki and I took over a Fire Nation airship:Me:That's agreatidea, let theblind girlsteer the giant airship.Sokka:I was talking to Suki.Me:That...would make a lot more sense.On one adventure it happenedtwice:Sokka:Toph, when I was in town, I found something that you're not gonna like. [holds up wanted poster for Toph]Me:Well, itsoundslike a sheet of paper, but I'm guessing you're referring to what'sonthe sheet of paper.LaterKatara:What's this? [holds up the same poster]Me:Idon'tknow!I meanseriously, what's with you people? I'mblind!Have a look-see already...Oh, wait!The Gadfly: I love to use my blindness to mess with the rest of the group, such as saying that Sokka's poorly drawn picture of Appa looks just like him, or shouting that I've spotted Wan Shi Tong's Library while we were flying on Appa's back.Me:There it is![everyone scans in the direction I'm pointing, and one by one, silently glare at me]Me:... that's what it'll sound like when one of you spots it.[I put on a big, dopey grin and wave one of my hands back and forth over my eyes]Girl of My Dreams: Not that Aang had a crush on me, but he saw me in a vision before ever having met me. When Aang, Katara, and Sokka did run into me a short time later, Aang was positively convinced that I, and no one else, was destined to be his earthbending teacher.And he was absolutely right.Good is Not Nice: I may be just as heroic, brave, and self-sacrificing as any other member of the team, but I'm still a bit of a jerk who rarely opens up to anybody.Handicapped Badass: I'm blind, but I can "see" by sensing vibrations with my feet.Has a Type: All of my crushes andlove interestsare decent guys.Hidden Depths: When Katara and I went on a girls' day out, it was made rather clear that for all of my claims of not caring what others think of my looks, I'm actually quite hurt by such rejection.Hot-Blooded: There's areasonwhy the Ember Island Players chose to portray me the way they did."I am not Toph! I am MELON LORD!MUAHAHAHA!" Oh, that feels good!Inferiority Superiority Complex: It's a mild case, and it's kept in the background for the most part. It's most evident during me and Katara's "girl's day out" and whenever my feet are shot.Intergenerational Friendship: I kinda have this with Zuko's uncle Iroh, but hey, it'sIroh.Jerkass Has a Point: As rude as I am, I can be right at times:When we were all arguing due to exhaustion, I was the first to point out that Appa's shedding was the reason why Azula and those girls were able to keep following us and thus why we couldn't sleep, but I admit I took it too far by blaming Appa, though that could also be due to being tired. We were all at each other's throats that day.I also called out Aang, Katara, and Sokka on letting their personal experiences with Zuko keep Aang from finding a firebending master quite bluntly, despite me pointing out that he was being sincere to us and he has done some good, like rescuing Appa. That especially was rather astounding, because I never really cared about these things when I met them, but later on, I saw the bigger picture. How's that for being blind?Me:You're all forgetting one crucial fact: Aang needs a firebending teacher! We can't think of a single person in the world to do the job. Now one shows up on a silver platter, and you won't even think about it!? I'm beginning to wonder who's really the blind one around here.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite my tough exterior, I'm not above warming up during intimate moments, as evidenced when I join in group hugs with Team Avatar and hold hands with Aang at the prospect of friendships lasting more than one lifetime.The Lad-ette: The musclebound, belching, spitting hulk that was in the play near the end of the story? That's me on the inside.Large Ham: I'm a rare little girl variant. Play it once more:"I am not Toph! I am MELON LORD!Muahahaha!"Lessons in Sophistication: Surprisingly, I can pull this off. I was born into Earth Kingdom High society, so I know how to act like aproper lady, I just choose not to. I'm able to help clean up Katara for a palace party hosted by the Earth King but I don't even attempt with Sokka and Aang. They're that hopeless. Call it rude if you want.Little Miss Badass: I'm only twelve (and so is Aang physically for that matter), but I'm one of the most kick-butt characters in the entire series.Little Miss Con Artist: Yeah, I did this at one point. We all like to call it the Runaway story. When Sokka, Aang, and I went to town for some fun, we decided to get money by exploiting people's notion that since I'm blind I'm no threat. Katara warned us that it would end up blowing up in our face eventually...and she was unfortunately right.Living Lie Detector: I can do this through my seismic sense, although some characters do get away with lying on some occasions. More specifically, I seem to be unable to detect the falsehoods of sociopathic or pathological liars, who can say the most ludicrous or subtle lie without it having any kind of effect on their physiology for me to pick up on at all. Take Azula for example.Logical Weakness: Even with myseismic sense, I do have some weaknesses compared to everyone else in Team Avatar.I'm completely blind if I'm standing on anything that isn't solid earth. If I get lifted off the ground, or walk on ice, or get thrown into water, I can't see.While I did learn how to bend metal, like all the other earthbenders, I can't bend wood. I got a hard reminder of this when Combustion Man paid some people to throw me in a wooden cell. Though I have to wonder how he knew about my skills.I can't do anything that involves actually needing to see with eyes. So writing or putting up posters is an instant fail.Lonely Rich Kid: Yeah, and I dealt with it by joining an underground fighting tournament and mopping the floor with anyone who challenged me.Meaningful Name: My name's this to a certain extent, since it's kanji. In the adventure with the Serpent's Pass, the name on my passport reads 拓芙 "supported lotus", which hardly describes me at all, but matches my parents' view of me being delicate and helpless. Averted in me and Katara's "Girl's day out" where the spelling of my name temporarily changed to 托夫 "entrusted man", before going back to 拓芙 when we met the Earth King.Muscles Are Meaningless: In my case, this relates specifically to my earthbending. I'm clearly very strong for my size and age, often hurting my own teammates, no pushovers themselves, with playful punches. However, situations where I don't have it tend to emphasize my helplessness. This is partly because it takes away theDisability Superpowerthat allows me to bypass my blindness, but I never demonstrate superior martial arts skills when not aided by my earthbending.Never Learned to Read: I have a reason for that. I'm blind in a worldwithout what you readers call "Braille". As such,Sokka's plan to forge a letter from me to help me reconcile with Katara falls flat. I don't know what he was thinking. And he's supposed to bethe brains of Team Avatar!Never Mess with Granny: I eventually have grandkids around the time of Korra and I'm still a force to be reckoned with.The Nicknamer: I call Aang "Twinkle Toes", as he'sverylight on his feet, with his being an airbender and all (well, compared to the powerful, deliberate stomps of a master earthbender like me, anyway).No Hero to His Valet: One of my defining characteristics is that I don't give Aang special treatment even though he's the Avatar. He may be the student, but I treat him like an equal and friend, to the point where I never fail to vocally criticize Aang to his face when I think it's needed.Not Hyperbole: When I say that I'm the greatest earthbender in the world, you better believe I can back that up. I'm the girl who duelled King Bumi, who literally had a hundred years of experience on him, and can earthbend with his face, and I fought him to a draw! At age 12! Even earlier, I figured out how to turn over a major weakness of earthbending by figuring outmetalbending, which no one in history had done before.When the new Avatar, Korra, took over,this claimstillapplies. Even when there's earthbenders like Lin, Ghazan, and Kuvira.Obfuscating Disability: While my eyes honestly do not work, I occasionally hide my earthbending-linked tremor sense to play up the appearance of a helpless blind little girl. Again, remember the Runaway story.Odd Friendship: Well, like everyone else, I met some rather unusual people, but we're all good friends nevertheless.Overly Narrow Superlative: In the North and South fiasco, I proudly called the Beifong Metalbending Academy as "the most prestigious metalbending school in the world". One of the lily-liver—my students pointed out we're pretty much theonlymetalbending school but I saw it as kind of the point since we do something that used to be considered impossible until I learned how to do it.The Pig-Pen: I'm a mild case. Even though I avoid almost all and any personal hygiene, especially where my feet are concerned, I don't look it unless someone else sees it. I also mention that Ipick my nose a lot...and my toes. Twice. It felt great, ok?Parents as People: Okay, somaybeI wasn't the best mother to either of my daughters, but what would you expect from someone whose own parents tried to keep her sheltered her whole life because she just so happened to be blind?(sigh)Maybe I should've done the exact opposite of what my parents did, but nothing I say can justify not being a good enough parent. Hopefully, Zuko's doing better in the parenting position than I am.Pint-Sized Powerhouse:I'm absolutely tiny being a little over 4 feet tall, but my only non-Avatar rival in earthbending is King Bumi.And it's not like I lost that status when you first saw old me. Ha ha ha. Can't always be standing up at that age.Power Levels: Personally, I consider myself the strongest bender in the group, though obviously I'm not counting Aang when he enters the Avatar State, and when you think about it, we're all pretty strong benders.Rebellious Princess: I'm not actually royalty, but close enough. I rebelled against my parents because of how they stifled my freedom due to their overprotectiveness.Recruited from the Gutter: It'skinda flip-flopped.Yours truly, thespoiled little rich girl, was recruited by the pacifistic monk and his two near-penniless sidekicks. However, I very much liveas ifI'm in the gutter, pretty much because I wasn't able to.Red Oni, Blue Oni: I'm the snarky, blunt red to Katara's demure, caring blue.Reflectionless Useless Eyes: I have these to show I'm blind.Sad Clown:I, next to Zuko, when all is said and done, have more baggage than a cargo ship: I was always treated as a fragile thing by my parents, ran away from home after they said they'd be even more strict about protecting me (even after I showed first-hand that I was already one of the best earthbenders in the world at TWELVE), is legitimately torn over how I must have broken my parents' hearts and made them worry as a result, felt responsible for Appa having been kidnapped, and was actually terribly insecure about my blindness (despite acting like it's a non-issue normally). Outwardly, I seem like a total snark-bender who doesn't really care about anything, save for my friends.Sadistic Choice: I was forced to choose between saving Appa from Sandbenders or saving the rest of the Gaang from a building that was being pulled into the Spirit World. I tried toTake a Third Option, but I wasn't to see very well due to the sand being very fuzzy. I wasn't very good at sandbending at the time, OK?Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: As a member of a powerful merchant family, I flashed my gold-bordered passport and made up something about "valets" and a "seeing-eye lemur" to get entry passes to Ba Sing Se for myself and the rest of the group from a humorless border official. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as well when I later tried to bluff my way into the Earth King's party without invitations. All the damage we did beforehand didn't help either.Sent Into Hiding: I was this until meeting Aang. My overprotective parents kept me locked inside the grounds of their home (although I was able to sneak out to work as the Blind Bandit).She Cleans Up Nicely: Almost immediately you see the rough wrestler become a well-dressed lady when you first see me.Sheltered Aristocrat: I was raised to be this due to my blindness, but over the years I became much less sheltered thanks to figuring out how to leave the grounds in secret and learning how to earthbend.Single Woman Seeks Good Man: All of my love interests happened to benice guys.I did have a huge crush onSokka. If it wasn't for him currently dating Suki, after Ozai went down and the war was over, I'd have probably kissed him until our lungs gave out.That adventure at the Refinery had me show a bit of interest in Satoru, who considers me his hero; needless to say, his praising of me pretty much broke the mold.When Korra came to town, I revealed the identity Lin's father — Kanto, who I deemed a "nice man", but our relationship didn't work out for reasons unknown.Sour Supporter: Sometimes. I often vocally express my doubt about our game plans, but I will help my buddies out no matter what.Street Smart: That's part of why I'm theTeam Faceand not Aang, even though he's the Avatar: I know how to take advantage of street situations. And it's more than just the street. At the custom official and for the Earth King's party I was the one doing almost all the talking.Tailor-Made Prison: When I got trapped in a steel cage, Xin Fu was convinced that I couldn't escape because I wasn't able to bend metal. Turns out that it did help me, and Imade metalbending happen.However, when I was put in a wooden cell, this time I really couldn't escape on my own, since wood isn't a bendable substance. Maybe one day, plantbending will become a thing.Tiny Tyrannical Girl: To quote this "Dr. Eggman" guy, "I've always enjoyed telling people what to do."noteDr. Eggman:Ah, that's the spirit! (Licensing fees, please.)Me:Sure... I'll pay you if you... look there!Dr. Eggman:Huh?(he sees that I already escaped from him via earthbending)Dr. Eggman: I HATE THAT EARTHBENDING SCAMMER!Tomboy and Girly Girl: Katara's a full-blownbutt-kicker like me, but her role as thesurrogate momand hermeans of fighting tacticsmeant that she often clashed with my morelaid-back, "I'm just one of the other burly men" ways.Tomboy with a Girly Streak: I kick butt and don't take nothing from nobody, but I do know high society manners and I actually enjoyed my spa day with Katara. Well, except for the feet part.Took a Level in Badass: I was already a Master earthbender when Aang met me. I could take on most any earthbender, save Bumi, and win easily. How do I become even more awesome? By developing metalbending, something no one in the history of the world had done before.And yes,in the future, I simply kicked Korra's butt without needing to use any hand motions. And don't think airbending is going to fool me anymore. I can easily dodge those air blasts.Tsundere: I show affection for someone by punching their arm. I'm usually at my softest around Sokka but only at certain times, like I missed him but I didn't wanna admit it. Wait...oh, come on!The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny:I was once paired upagainst that emo sandbender namedGaara.I won, for none shall ever challenge the Greatest Earthbender in the world and live to tell the tale!Mwahahahahahaha!noteBoomstick: No. Actually, you should have lost Toph.Me:What? Don't be silly. He can't touch me at all.Boomstick: He actually could after we found out about his skills. You were actually too slow to make use of your seismic sense to make up for the speed difference.Waif-Fu: Uh, not really. It does look like I have superhuman physical strength, but I'm really just using earthbending to lift things around me. When using only my own physical strength I'm actually quite weak, as shown when trying to lift a large metal mallet. I still pulled it off though.The Watson: It's not so much in personality - I actually tend to be the most knowledgeable of our gang (well, next to Aang, who has a hundred years of knowledge behind him, and Sokka, who'sthe brainsof our scrappy little group), who are allcountry mice- but my blindness means other characters will read stuff (all in Chinese or Japanese characters)out loudto me, and thus, you guys."Well Done, Daughter!" Girl: I have a case of this, though unlike Zuko, it's more of trying to get my father to accept me for who I am as opposed to trying to please him.The Worf Effect:My tremor-sense isn't limited to what's in front of me, goes right through cover, and has a range of over a hundred meters, so as long as I'm part of the Gaang,no-one cansneak up on us.I pulled this off fortwenty-six days,(in fact it's how we found the Western Air Temple) but theinstantI got myfeet burnt, Combustion Man showed up and started blowing everything to rubble.When we went to Wan Shi Tong's library, the desert sand puts me at a relative disadvantage, as the looseness of it messes with the vibrations in the ground and blurs my vision. This ends up contributing to myfailure to protect Appa from being caught by the sandbenders. I was already struggling to defend Appa because I also had to concentrate on keeping the library from sinking into the ground, but even when I tried to attack the sandbenders, my aim was slightly off due to the shiftiness of the sand. Eventually, I realized I had to cut my losses and put all of my effort into holding up the library, sadly allowing for Appa's capture.I've hated looking back on that ever since, and now that my sandbending has improved since, history will most certainly not be repeating itself!Yamato Nadeshiko: I can fake it perfectly, as when I show up in a white dress in my parents' home - except I really, really,reallydon't like it. Before leaving home I moonlight that as a pro wrestler, and once I'm free of my parents' supervision and can act the way I want to, I prove to be very crude, aggressive, and unladylike indeed. Remind me why exactly you were glad that there was another girl in the group, Katara?You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious:In more serious moments, I don't use nicknames.Younger Mentor, Older Disciple: I'm the youngest out of all the people to teach Aang earthbending, although he's technically older than most of his mentors anyway. However, I one-up them by being younger than Aang physically too. (He's technically 112.)I guess that would be all so...(earthbends the viewer away)

Linda Cardellini,Hayley Kiyoko, Sarah Gilman,Gina Rodriguez, orMindy Kaling.)-THUD!-Oof ow! Darn it my glasses. Where are my glasses? I can't see without them! Where did they go? No, not there, not...oh there we go.(Puts them on)Oh, Jinkies! Sorry, didn't see you there, I seemed to have stumbled into some weird room of encyclopedia knowledge apparently. Hmm, “self-demonstrating”? An odd turn of title, I guess this place wants me to talk about myself? Well, I suppose I have time, even though I was in the middle of a mystery. But we're at the point where putting a plan into motion and my friends are luring the monster and... oh I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start from the top.Salutations, my name is Velma Dinkley and I'm part of a group known as Mystery Incorporated, though sometimes known as the Scooby Gang too named after our Great Dane mascot Scooby-Doo. The rest of our group comprises of our fearless leader Fred Jones, fashion-centric and often danger-prone Daphne Blake and our lovable coward second to Scooby, who also just happens to be his owner, Shaggy Rogers. Together we go roaming around supposedly “haunted” areas that are scaring the locals. But more often than not it's usually some criminal in a costume having taken advantage of a local legend or acting as a specter to keep people away for so reason, usually involving money. That's where our group comes in: we go into the area, look for clues and eventually trap the monster and unmask who it really is. My role is essentially to piece things together to pinpoint the culprit and the motive so that when the time comes when they're caught, I can explain who they are and why they did it. And gotta say it's immensely gratifying to do it too, save the times when it was some other matters I didn't know about but that was neither here nor there. Ehehe... heh. -Ahem- oh I likewise sometimes have to keep Shaggy and Scooby on task, usually with Scooby Snacks as bribes since the two won't work up the nerve to lure out the monsters. I do feel a little guilty putting them as bait like that, but it works with our dynamic, and, being blunt here, the two are surprisingly good at attracting them.We've been doing this for a long while, like since early elementary, at least I think so, or was it high school? Things tend to get murky when it comes to the history of how our gang was formed. Jinkies, It honestly feels like we've been doing this since the 60s era, or was it the 90s? 2000s? Well, one of ourprevious outings ended up with the time-space continuum hitting a reset, so honestly who knows? The most logical thing I can make of this is that I and the gang are still doing our mystery-solving and don't intend to stop anytime soon no matter what universal retcon hits us.Hmm? Jinkies, what's this? A list of my attributes, or “tropes”? Well, then let's see...Arbitrary Skepticism: I tend to flip-flop depending on the iteration. Sure I favor the logical point of the cases my friends and me get into, but sometimes we do tend to run into the supernatural. In early times I was more inclined to believe the fantastical things I see with my eyes. But in recent eras, I tend to dismiss things because it's just too out there to be believed. Heck at one point I out and out retconned an adventure I had about zombies I had previously, blaming it on "swamp gas".(Throws up her hands defensively)Hey I said it depended on the iteration, they're not all well explained. I just work with what's presented to me.Berserk Button: Well harming my friends obviously, but likewise insulting my intelligence or not having all the facts to a mystery when it reaches its conclusion and the case just solves itself. Likewise medieval dresses in two iterations, apparently cause I'm not a big fan of cos-playing anything from that era (something about being called a "wench"). I was forced into it in one iteration because the case was in a medieval fair and the owner wouldn't let us pass if I didn't get into it. The things I do for this profession.Beware the Nice Ones: Again I'm not one for fighting, but if my friends are in trouble, you can be sure I won't be afraid to jump in and help them. Likewise don't insult my intelligence. Even we nerds have our breaking points and I assure you, it's not pretty if we get provoked.Blind Without 'Em: Oh yes, much as I'm embarrassed to admit it, I'm very far-sighted. Can't see a thing when the glasses come off. Not exactly good when monsters lurk about but luckily they tend to trip over me when that happens. I really should consider laser eye surgery.Brainwashed and Crazy: Well sometimes, most egregiously there was that incident in Transylvania, Pennsylvania (Yes, really) where some old foes of ours tried to get back at us for stopping them. Hypnotizing me into some crazy Frankenstein-Esque scientist that nearly tried to experiment on Shaggy and Scooby. Dolling me up in this gown and even dying my hair. Crazy huh? Luckily I was snapped out of it but man did they have it out for me.Catchphrase:I know I've been saying it frequently on this page, but just to reiterate: "Jinkies!" I started saying that when I was young, to let the gang know I found clues. I guess it's stuck since then.Also, whenever I lose my glasses, I will almost always say, "My glasses! I can't see without my glasses!"Darker and Edgier: What? Dark? Me? Really?Hmm it seems therewas a comic bookwhere an apocalypse ravaged the world and we had to band together to survive. And... oh dearI was the cause of it! Jinkies!This is a little unnerving, l-let's just move on.Oh dear seems there's likewise a show where I'm the main lead and...Is...is that brains coming out of a woman's head?E-Excuse me...(She goes offscreen and we can hear retching sounds)Jinkies, that was so disgusting... I'm glad Scooby isn't in this one... Let's move on...Deadpan Snarker: What can I say? When you're dealing with cowards and criminals you tend to snark a lot.Dork in a Sweater: Well the “dork” is a bit uncalled for (seriously they had to use my picture for this too?). But yes, many would know me from my iconic trademark orange sweater. It's essentially the one thing a lot of iterations never really change.Dramatic Unmask: Something Fred and me tend to take turns doing when the culprit is caught. Gotta really emphasize their crimes after all. Plus it's fun!Endearingly Dorky: Jinkies, I mean maybe. I usually try to keep a sense of professionalism for our cases, but even I have my, as most would say, "geek outs" if we go to something I like, like exhibits, meeting famous authors, or hockey!... What? Other interests outside the norm are perfectly healthy. Besides don't knock it till you try it.Friend Versus Lover: Hmmone of my iterations had this with Shaggy, we were dating but Scooby got jealous because of the attention I was taking away from his bud. After some tension, Shaggy...-sigh- ...ultimately chose Scooby over me and we decided to beJust Friends. Don't worry I'm over it now and it's for the best for our group. But it does still sting a bit.Hollywood Homely: I guess I'm what you call “frumpy” or “mousy” or just one of those types that don't like putting myself out there. Knowledge has always been my passion after all.Insufferable Genius: Wha... HEY! Okay so I tend to flaunt my smarts a bit and...maybe get a bit cross if someone outsmarts me or a mystery doesn't pan out the way I thought it would, andmaybeI work a little too much on the logical side of things that I dismiss some supernatural elements. But I wouldn't call it insufferable. There's no crime in displaying one's intellect...until it is and I help stop it of course.Out of Focus: I was surprisingly sidelined during the late 70s/early 80s era since Shaggy and Scooby had more popularity at the time along with Scooby's nephew Scrappy (And before you say anything, no I don't have an opinion on him. I didn't hang out enough to really gauge him. Daphne would know more since she was privy to their adventures at the time. Fred apparently doesn't like to talk about it so eh. Apparentlymy movie iterationhad some experience with him but I likewise heard that wasa major exaggeration too. Again no opinion). Likewise, there was that time in the 2000swhen Shaggy and Scooby inherited their uncle's house and had to fight a supervillain?Again I was barely there for that but helped when they needed me.Playing Against Type: Would you believe at one pointIplayed the monster in a mystery?It was a mummy in this case and to help out a historical restoration group I was with to catch some grave robbers. I was surprised by how much of a fight my friends put up to “stop” me after they found out I was “turned to stone”. Both impressive and rather sweet, really.Race Lift: Most versions of me are Caucasian, with three exceptions. One version from our live-action origins is portrayed by the half-Japanese and half-CaucasianHayley Kiyoko, another from our computer-generated films is Latina, and another version from mymy self-titled seriesis South Asian.Science Hero: Some iterations paint me as being a wiz at tech and chemicals. It does come in handy when dealing with culprits.She Cleans Up Nicely: Oh hehe well, I really don't take stock of my appearance but I've been told I look cute when I wear some other getup like evening dresses or change up my hair a bit.The Smart Guy: Most definitely, as I said, I'm the one who usually pieces together the clues and the culprits' motives. I'm also not bad with puzzles and tech.Tomboy and Girly Girl: Apparently a dynamic I share with Daphne. Granted I don't really see myself as a tomboy but between the two of us, she tends to be the more fashion-minded of the two while some iterations have me like things like hockey and motorsports.Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: One iteration had me terrified of clowns due to some jerk party clown shredding some encyclopedia I had gotten for my birthday when I was a kid (Apparently trying to help me since he thought I got a “boring” gift). So much so Shaggy and meswitched roleswith me being the coward while he was the brave one (Something about the clown monster interfering with his mini-golf game. That was one of our weirder mysteries).(Hears a ruckus in the background and cries of “Help/Relp!”)Jinkies! That's my cue! Was nice talking with you all. If you ever need any “meddling kids”, don't be afraid to give us a ring! If it has a mask and a motive, you can be sure Velma Dinkley will crack and uncover it!

(Wazzzpinator say read likeScott McNeil, orTom Kenny!)Wazzzpinator rules!(CR chambers opens, revealing Waspinator)Ohhh. Wazzpinator just get out of CR chamber. Wazzpinator keep getting squished!

CHISWICK! FRESH HORSES!!"On a still day, how far away can one hear Brian Blessed?"— Hugh Dennis,Mock the Week,(If This Is The Answer What Is The Question: "85,000 miles")"HELLO, I'M BRIAN BLESSED! AND I'M DOING THIS WEEK'S BBC RADIO FOUR APPEAL ON BEHALF OF THE DEAF!!!!"—Dead Ringers"DRIVE, MY HAWKMEN,DRIIVE!!"—PrototypeBrian Blessed Sat Nav.To protect your eyes, trythis pageinstead.Perhaps best known in America as Prince Vultan of the Hawkmen in theFlash Gordonmovie ("GORDON'S ALIVE?!" "DIIIIIIIIIVVEEEEE!!"), he is widely regarded as one of theLargest Hamsin existence. However, he is by nature a stage actor, and his hamming is by design, not by ineptitude or accident. As he has proven on (very) occasional films, he is actually capable of delivering a subtle and understated performance; he just usually doesn't bother (and he is quite aware of why people hire him). His crowning moment of hamness is theBlake's 7episode "Cygnus Alpha" in which just about every line he speaks could be replaced with "Did somebody order aLARGE HAM?". He keeps in shape by climbing up large mountains. About the only thing on Earth larger than BRIAN BLESSED is Mount Everest, which he has attempted to scale three times without quite reaching the summit each time. Indeed, he has a story about narrowly avoiding an avalanche on Everest which caused him to, quote, "rage at the mountain". Yes, BRAIN BLESSED bellowed Mt Everest itself into submission.He served up not one, buttwolarge portions inSpace: 1999; the first as Dr. Cabot Rowland in first season episode "Death's Other Dominion", the second as Maya's father Mentor in second season opener "The Metamorph". In real life his favorite food is cows, which he eats whole and in one gulp.Was also in the first season ofBlackadderas King Richard IV ("Chiswick! Fresh horses!"). Was far less hammy as the ghost in fellow large hamKenneth Branagh'sHamlet(he even managed towhisperloudly) and Signore Antonio in Branagh'sMuch Ado About Nothing (1993). Also, the Duke of Exeter in Branagh'sHenry V. ("What treasure, Uncle?" "Tennis balls, my liege!") Surprisingly, Keanu Reeves claimed in an interview on British radio that during filming ofMuch Ado About Nothing (1993), Blessed befriended him and taught him to meditate. Moviegoers who are sympathetic to Reeves might have thought it more likelyif it was the other way around. Blessed might just becalmer than he looks.IT IS SAID BY SOME THAT THE CHARACTER OF DESTRUCTION (A SENTIENT PERSONIFICATION OF DIFFICULT CHANGES WHO HAS QUIT HIS JOB TO BECOME AN ARTIST) FROMTHE SANDMANIS BASED ON HIM. SINCE AUTHORNEIL GAIMANIS ONE OF THE ONES WHO SAYS THIS, IT IS PERHAPS TRUE BUT NO LESS UNLIKELY.PLAYED HIS BEST AND HIS FAVOURITE ROLE AS THE SYMPATHETIC, TRAGICALLY NAIVE (YET STILL OCCASIONALLYBOMBASTIC) EMPEROR AUGUSTUS IN THE ACCLAIMED BRITISH MINI-SERIESI, CLAVDIVS.

HIS PERFORMANCE WAS STILL QUITE HAMLIKE. HE ALSO PROVIDED THE "TARZAN YELL" FOR THE FILM. HIS VOICE PERFORMANCE OF BOSS NASS (THE GUNGAN KING) INStar Wars:THE PHANTOM MENACEWAS EQUALLY OVER THE TOP AND POSSIBLY THE MOST FUN PERFORMANCE IN THE ENTIRE MOVIE. ADDITIONALLY, HE NARRATEDVIKING: BATTLE FOR ASGARDIN WHICH HIS NARRATION STOLE THE SHOW AND CATAPULTED SAID GAME INTO THE HALLS OF AWESOME!HE ALSO APPEARED IN ORIGINAL SERIESDOCTOR WHO: ("TRIAL OF A TIME LORD: MINDWARP") AND UTTERED THEIMMORTAL LINE: "TODAY PRUDENCE SHALL BE OUR WATCHWORD.

Gunnery SergeantR. Lee Ermey to you, maggot!I am Gunnery Sergeant Ermey, your Senior Trope Instructor. From now on, you will speak only when spoken to, and the first and last words out of your filthy sewers will be "Sir", do you tropers understand that?Sir, yes sir!Bullshit, I can't hear you, sound off like you've got a pair.SIR, YES SIR!I was born on March 24, 1944, towards the end of World War II–and for those of you who thought it was easy to save the world back in 1918, World War I was just practice!–and served in the United States Marine Corps as a drill instructor in 'Nam, which was just practice for yelling at you for being the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the Goddamned common courtesy to give him a reach-around! As an actor, I got my big break playing the type of character I was famous for being in real life, when you were just a glimmer in your mother's eye, inStanley Kubrick'sFull Metal Jacket. Compared to me, my character was a sadistic and foul-mouthed son-of-a-bitch whose training methods ended with one maggot driven insane and the son-of-a-bitch dead at the hands of the same fucking maggot! And in case you were wondering, many of my lines were unscripted, and you have Kubrick himself to thank for it–especiallysince he doesn't normally allow his talent to improvise as though they were on theReduced Shakespearecomedy circuit!And thanks to my performance, I am now the poster child forDrill Sergeant Nasty–and don't you fucking forget it, numbnuts!–and landed myself roles in other movies, as well as a slew of voice-over work–my distinct gruff voice makes me ideal for hardass military types, and don't you dare call me aRegular Army Clownfor it, I'm dead serious!–and ultimately a hosting job for severalHistory Channelprograms about the military, includingMail CallandLock n' Load–history programs as only a drill sergeant could do them. I was alsoHouse's father, an abusive ex-drill sergeant! I'll bet he could suck a golf ball through a garden hose while on the job!And in case you were wondering, maggot, I retired as aStaffSergeant. However, in 2002, I was given an honorary promotion post-retirement–the first in Marine Corps history, mind you!–to Gunnery Sergeant by order of the Commandant of the Marine Corps "in recognition of [my] continuing support to Americans in military service, and of [my] service as an unofficial ambassador for the Marine Corps."I may have died on April 15, 2018 from complications from pneumonia, but that's no excuse! What part of "once a Marine, always a Marine" is not registering here? Even now, I'm still one of the baddest men to ever grace the silver screen, and don't you ever forget it!You got all that down? What is your major malfunction, numbnuts? Did you not bring a pen, pencil or paper with you? Were you hoping you'd remember everything I've said up to this point? Well, I certainly hope your major malfunction isn't as a result of someone gouging out your eyeballs and skullfucking you in the brain, because you're going to need a very good brain, you twinkle-toed cocksucker!Preseeeent... TROPES! Associated with me!Adam Westing: Do you think I'm funny? How about when I parodied myself onSaving Silverman? Or that toned-down, yet still fucking nasty, portrait of the former drill sergeant as a therapist that I did for Geico?Ascended Extra: You may be too shitbrained to know this, but I wasn't Stanley Kubrick's first choice for the role of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman inFull Metal Jacket–in fact, his reason for wanting me on board was accuracy advice. But then I did a demonstration on how to portray aDrill Sergeant Nasty, chewing out the camera for fifteen straight minutes, through a hail of tennis balls and fucking rotten oranges, never once moving, changing my expression, or repeating myself. I ended up getting the part by yelling at Kubrick, "YOU STAND UP WHEN I TALK TO YOU!!!" Kubrick—a shitstain who'sused to getting his whims served up on a silver platter—found himself doing so automatically, and the rest is history!Badass Biker: As I proved onLock n' Load, even on the back of my bike I'm damn good with guns, and you damn well had better remember it!Big Ol' EyebrowsCast the Expert: Like I said earlier, I was so fucking good at being aDrill Sergeant NastyI got my most famous film role by showing Stanley Kubrick how it's done and not letting either of my balls drop off even as I faced both Tennis Ball HellandRotten Orange Hell at the same fucking time! Even before I dealt with that limp-wristed sissymary, I was already using my military experience to perform in movies likeThe Boys in Company CandApocalypse Now.Defictionalization: 15 fucking years of awkwardness followed my iconic performance as a Gunnery Sergeant (E-7), because I had retired as a Staff Sergeant (E-6), and yet thanks to said iconic role people mistook me for an actual Gunnery Sergeant! Then the Marine Corps graciously promoted me to Gunnery Sergeant for my continued service promoting the Corps and its values. After I had already retired! That means they made me the first Marine in history to be promoted post-service!Because you're goddamn RIGHT they did!Determinator: I got knocked off the road once, but not out! I flashed my light for hours hoping someone would find me, and someone did!Drill Sergeant Nasty: I am the undisputed master of this type, and have even been typecast in such roles on film and television! And don't you fucking forget it, sweetheart, or I will unscrew your head and shit down your neck!Fountain of Expies: Like I said before, I amthewalking, talking example of what popular culture assumes aDrill Sergeant Nastyis! That's why lots of other TV shows and movies pattern their drill sergeant characters after me. I'll admit those writers and producers have good taste, butnobody, and I meannobody, can pull off the drill sergeant character as well as I do! You got that, numbnuts?!?Large Ham: What do you expect whenTypecastinglends to theDrill Sergeant Nastyrole nine times out of ten? You don't get good at that job by sitting back and being subtle, maggot! Think I'm kidding? Count the number of exclamation points on this page!Mean Character, Nice Actor: When I'm not in "Marine Mode", I'm just a big ol' teddy bear... Too bad all YOU pukes are gonna get IS the Marine! Now drop and give me twenty, maggot!No Indoor Voice: You think you can be one of the baddest men in all of cinema and be QUIET, maggot?! Of fucking course not!Semper Fi: Once a Marine, always a Marine, maggot! I cut my teeth in Vietnam, so I know what the fuck I'm talking about here! Hell, I was the first Marine in history to be promoted after retirement! (The only other such person you might know of is Captain Sir Thomas Moore from across the pond, promoted to Colonel on his 100th birthday for doing his part in the fight against COVID-19!) Do you know what kind of badass gets promoted after he leaves the job? Because I sure as shit do—there's a damn good reason my ashes are buried at Arlington!Shout-Out:Full Metal Panic!, in addition to being named forFull Metal Jacket, includes an episode where the protagonist takes up aDrill Sergeant Nastypersona when coaching a rugby team; in the English version, he even does a spot-on impersonation–minus the voice, of course–that would've made me proud! He's no maggot, but I'll bet that chickenshit bleep censor operator had a good time trying to be funny by censoring his sailor mouth!Nyaruko: Crawling with Love!did the same, but adapted my words forMagical Girltraining! Just listen to this disgustingly sweet take on my words, and you maggots will not soon forget that every language, both literal (e.g. English and Japanese) and figurative (e.g. the language of love), has its own way of getting my message through to the local unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit!"If you are able to overcome my intensive training, your entire demeanor will become that of aMagical Girl. You will become afriend to all,sprinkling loveand smileswith amagical stickin your hand. But until that day you are amob character. You are theleast important characterin the cast."[...]"Do not speak unless spoken to! You will say 'hanyaan' at the beginnings and ends of the nonsense spewed from that bloody tongue!"Is this aJapanese English phrase book◊? Whatever it is, it features a cute Army girl whose dialogue consists of nothing but uncensoredFull Metal Jacketcharacter quotes. And I certainly hope her sister is older thanshelooks, let alone that she knows what the fuck she's saying!I rike you.Come ova to my house and fuck my shista.For more anime fun with me, check out those cut-away pictures of myFull Metal Jacketcharacter that appear inPani Poni Dash!! No detail spared! The animators are clearly qualified to draw my likeness, and I do not want you for even one miserable second to doubt it!The guys writingGreen Lanternhave even paid tribute to me with a Green Lantern Drill Instructor character who is me if I was any softer at my job!They even quote me inStarcraft–bother the driver of theSiege Tankenough, and he'll ask,"What is your major malfunction?"Throw It In: I was actually lucky to be allowed to adlib a good portion of my lines inFull Metal Jacket, considering that Stanley Kubrick was behind the camera.I'LL BET YOU'RE THE KIND OF GUY WHO WOULD FUCK A PERSON IN THE ASSAND NOT EVEN HAVE THE GOD-DAMNED COMMON COURTESY TO GIVE HIM A REACH-AROUND!!At one point, though, we took a break so I could explain what a "reach around" was to Kubrick. He asked, I delivered, and he laughed his ass off! That's how that line got in the final cut!Trope Codifier: If there's aDrill Sergeant Nastycharacter in your work, numbnuts, and I'm not him, chances are he was inspired by me!Typecasting: If I'm not a Drill Instructor in a motion picture, it's Goddamned likely my character acts like one!Younger Than They Look: I was only 42 at the time I worked my military magic onFull Metal Jacket. 20 years and one Geico commercial later... I still look the fucking same, and don't you deny it, sweetheart!Next! List the tropes associated with my shows! Quickly!Bullet Time: What the fuck did you expect when you saw all those guns onLock n' Load?The Cameo: On the Artillery episode ofLock and Load, the hwacha, an ancient Korean multiple rocket launcher, is mentioned and shown being fired. It's the exact same one that theMythBustersBuild Team constructed, as shown by the mismatched wheels, but they don't deserve credit in my book, because they are pukes! They are the lowest life forms on Earth! They are not even human fucking beings–they are unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit!Does Not Like Spam:InMail Call, I apparently make it fucking clear that watermelons are my "sworn enemy", and are good only for target practice, both thereandinLock n' Load. However, as I once said, some people think I don't like watermelons. Well, that's not true - I just believe you gotta kill it before you eat it. Honestly, I have nothing against watermelons! It's just that heads are so much more expensive. Of course, I did tell Private Snowball that he wouldn't like that (in addition to fried chicken) watermelon isn't served on a daily basis in my mess hall.I HATE Gumballs, they cause tooth decay!!Gumballs are good only for being shot up! I drove that point home with an uzi to several jars of them! Remember, kiddies: GUMBALLS ROT YOUR TEETH.Fourth-Wall Mail Slot: Yeah, I got one, numbnuts, and it's calledMail Call.Hand Cannon: There was oneLock and Loadepisode where I fired a .44 Magnum and got knocked down in the process. I'll admit that my Goddamned awkward crouched position that I was in didn't help my case, as it put me off balance and knocked me over. In another episode, I used a .44 Magnum in a test, despite that caliber not being around when the feature I was testing was invented.I used it just because I like it better, and don't you fucking forget it!More Dakka: Look,Lock And Loadis aboutfirearms. What the fuck do you expect? This isespeciallytrue when I do episodes on machine guns, including the one and only, genuine, original hand-cranked Gatling gun!Pin-Pulling Teeth: In one episode ofMail Call, I noted how doing this is a good way to lose your fucking teeth. Your teeth can't handle it? Don't use them to pull the pin unless you got a tooth that REALLY needs to be removed! But as I'm no dentist, I'm afraid I can't help you there, numbnuts!"Semper Fi."(salutes)Carry on.
