1983 Doomsday Stories/Tear Jerker

* Tear Jerker: A lot of the fics have their moments, but *Death of a Nation* is notable for being one long tearjerker.
	+ Austria's internal breakdown in *A Wasteland Melody* and *A Symphony for a New World* could also qualify, all while staying in character. Especially once bits and pieces start breaking through his facade.
		- *A Wasteland Memorial,* which is set in the AU's future, could also count. Especially since it shows him starting to go through the same fate as England did in *Death of a Nation.*
	+ *An Ocean of Flame Above* is essentially a long, drawn out death scene involving Hungary's last days.
* Switzerland's Genre Savvy knowledge of World War III take on a different tone when he realizes early on that Hungary really had *no chance* of surviving Doomsday. This in turn drives some of his seemingly Jerkass actions to Austria in an attempt to keep him from persisting in what he thought to be a pointless search. It's strongly hinted however that it didn't work.
* *The Last Minutes to Midnight* alternates between this and Nightmare Fuel. Whether it's America's unspoken fears, Russia's realization of who *really* fired the first shot of Doomsday, or Austria's meeting with Hungary that would never come, the reader *knows* it wouldn't end well for anybody.
19 Kids and Counting/YMMV

* Acceptable Lifestyle Targets
* Acceptable Religious Targets
* Eagle Land: Type I; America is the greatest country in the world, cheeseburgers and french fries are the best, and things like Ethiopian food and bangers and mash are weird and can never be good.
* Ensemble Darkhorse: Jinger
* Flame Bait / Hatedom: Just mentioning them on some sites can cause a debate, since they bring several issues (extreme religious views, birth control) together.
* Holier Than Thou: They have their moments, especially Josiah.
	+ That might have changed now, with some of the older ones taking over for him.
* Creator's Pet: Josiah in the earlier episodes, Jackson in the later. Both are unbearably annoying.
* Real Women Never Wear Dresses: Inverted.
* Unfortunate Implications: The Duggars have very extreme religious views and practices; however, this is **not** a universal portrayal of an average born-again Christian lifestyle (or family, for that matter).
* Values Dissonance: MANY examples for viewers who do not follow the family's strict brand of Christianity.
* The Woobie: Josie surely counts- she was born three months premature and was in the hospital for almost a *year*.
13 Ghosts/YMMV

## 2001 Remake

* Complete Monster: The Juggernaut - according to his backstory he was a serial killer who would pick up female hitchhikers on the road and drive them back to his junkyard, then tear them apart with his bare hands and feed them to his dogs.
	+ The Jackal - when he was alive he had an insatiable lust for women, rape, and murdering prostitutes.
	+ Cyrus Kritikos who has orchestrated the abduction of Kathy and Bobby so that Arthur will become the 13th ghost to trigger The Machine's activation. He also has no hesitation to put the children in danger knowing it's the only reason why Arthur will sacrifice himself.
* Creepy Sexy: The Angry Princess.
* Jerkass Woobie: The Torn Prince and the Pilgrimess, who became jerks after death for obvious reasons and the Angry Princess and the Bound Woman, who were tragic and bitchy victims.
* The Woobie: Arthur and his family, especially his poor wife, the Withered Lover. Also, the Dire Mother.
	+ Also Dennis, his powers make his life a living hell.
	+ Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: The Great Child and the Hammer.
1000 Ways to Die/Awesome

* **Fiddle Licked**: A CIA agent posing as a violinist in a fancy restaurant uses an experimental laser rifle to kill a terrorist posing as a man on a date.
* **M.R.Ouch**: A smokin' hot nurse who once was in the military tries to disarm a gun-toting drug addict with an MRI machine -- and ends up killing him when the metal plate in his head also gets attracted.
* **Ichiboned**: A Japanese couple who were too repressed to have sex finally do it, but because they've never done it before, their hearts gave out when they reached simultaneous orgasms. It's more a Bittersweet Ending (or even a Tear Jerker), but it does count as a Crowning Moment of Awesome just for the fact that **they didn't die in some bloody, horrific way**. Even the narrator acknowledges this as a tragedy for some and gives it the #1 spot.
* **Wrin-Killed**: A purse-snatcher gets his trachea smashed by a little old lady with 40 years' experience in Tae Kwon Do when he tried to take her purse. Eagerly and hilariously lampshaded in the recreation itself, since the bystanders actually start cheering for the grandma as they watch on how she curbstomps the Asshole Victim.
* **Radium Girls**: In this case, it's not the death that is a crowning moment, but the aftermath of said death. A woman from the 1920s named Wendy died by covering herself with glow-in-the-dark, radioactive paint (using it as body paint for her lover during sex), and contracted bone cancer. She got the idea because the company she worked for knew about the dangerous effects of radium, yet used it in their paint anyway, and in fact encouraged the female workers to keep their paintbrushes sharp by licking them, and thus consuming dangerous radioactive material. After the woman's death, her co-workers filed one of the first successful workers' rights lawsuits, won, and according to the narration, "increased safety standards across America." The Other Wiki confirms this as the truth; *it was the first successful lawsuit of its kind in the United States*.
* **Suck Her Punched**: A rapist mistakes a cross-dressing boxer (who cross-dresses as a means to calm down from his Testosterone Poisoning) for an actual woman and attacks him. The boxer defends himself and kills the rapist with his strong right cross (triggered whenever someone calls him a "lady").

**Boxer**: Guess what?! I ain't no lady! \*punch\*
2001: A Space Odyssey/Awesome

* Crowning Music of Awesome: Also Sprach Zarathustra. Even though it wasn't created for the movie. Also the Blue Danube Waltz and Gayaneh Ballet Suite Adagio, with all three pieces achieving their latter-day fame through their use in 2001. In fact, they were only supposed to be stand-ins for actual movie music before it was ready for release, but they were deemed so fitting, they were left in.
* Dave getting from the pod back to the ship, without his helmet.
* The story begins with a tribe of apes who are easy prey for rival tribes, and leopards. Then the Monolith teaches them about tools, and the next confrontation goes a lot differently.
2010: The Year We Make Contact/Fridge

## Fridge Brilliance

* The *Leonov* crew's triangular mission patches show both the Soviet and U.S. flags, but the U.S. flag is upside-down: the stripes are on top and the stars are on the bottom. Flying a flag upside-down is only supposed to be used to signal a dire emergency... but the reason there are Americans on this mission is precisely because needing to rescue *Discovery* before it crashes into Io *is* a dire emergency. — SuddenFrost
1visualfxguy (Video)/WMG

### 1visualFXguy and Supers, Heroes, and Funnies will do a crossover

How close friends Matt and Asher (the creator of both shows, respectively) are, I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet.

### 1visualFXguy and Happy Tree Friends are set in the same universe

The frequent appearances of the HTFs makes this one plausible.

### Lily is a ghost in the ALF and Omega sequels

Since she died in the first one, she could either be a ghost or zombie and since she doesn't have her guts hanging out, she must not be a zombie.

### Jim is a goblin

He is certainly a weird creature of some sort. I think he's either a goblin, demon, imp, troll, minotaur, or vampire.

### In the 1visualFXguy universe, King Leonidas has a time machine

How else could he meet Scrat from Ice Age if 300 is set in Ancient Rome and Ice Age is set in, well, the ice age.

### Bill o Neil and Dipper Pines are related

Why else would would Dipper let him borrow his hat?

### Rooster is an alien dog

It makes sense because of how his eyes glow red and he can talk.

### Mr. Mcgee dated Janice Joplin

Since it was confirmed that his name Bobby Mcgee, this one is plausible.

### Raven is from the Town of Grove

The game Fate has a lot of demons in it and since Raven is demon, this theory makes sense. Especially when she does a direct imitation of the Fate narrators voice in the "Clash of the Teen Titans" poop.

### The show will parody Norm of the North

Since it's already parodied Alpha and Omega several times, this isn't entirely out of question.

### Gabi is a HUGE Family Guy fan

Since she sings like Herbert and frequently makes Family Guy references (more than any other recurring 1visualFXguy character).

### 1visualFXguy is a part of the DC Comics universe

Teen Titans and Harley Quinn do appear a lot. Plus Gotham City is mentioned in one video.

### Arnold P. Moolah has since retired

The character hasn't appeared (outside of music videos) in a LONG time, so maybe he quit his job as a lawyer.

### Jellybean knows she's fictional

Since she is clearly singing to the viewers in "I'm Gonna Get Toons You", maybe she has traveled outside the fourth wall and been to the "other dimension" mentioned in 1visualFXguy + 2MattTV crossover.
1632/YMMV

* Canon Sue: Arguably, Rebecca Abrabanel Stearns. Everyone notices her beauty and presence, and she is *always* "right".
	+ Most of the women in the first book fall into this. See below
* Crazy Awesome: It's a contest between Harry Lefferts and Ruy Sanchez de Casador y Ortiz.
* Magnificent Bastard: Richelieu, Wallenstein, Micheal Stearns, Gustavus Adolphus; let's just say the series is full of them and leave it at that.
* Positive Discrimination: Rebecca is a near genius and stunningly beautiful, Gretchen is practically The Messiah and stunningly beautiful, and Julie is an amazing sniper and stunningly beaut-- well good looking at least.
	+ Gretchen is far too bloody-minded to be anything like The Messiah. Messianic Archetype, **maybe**.... She is, however, certainly beautiful and a forcefully charismatic leader.
	+ From the way Flint describes Julie Sims, she's the kind of woman Rubens - who is quite active in the 1632verse as both diplomat and artist - would be wild to paint.
"Ass" in Ambassador

The Mouth of Sauron: I am a herald and ambassador, and may not be assailed!

Gandalf: Where such laws hold, it is also the custom for ambassadors to use less insolence.

— *The Return of the King*

An ambassador's job is two-fold: to maintain healthy relationships with the country they are sent to, and to be well-versed in the customs and minutiae of their culture. The Ass in Ambassador forgets this. They're rude, they make no attempt to do as the Romans do, and they show little sign of being friendly (or even respectful) at all. Even attempts by their staff at Tactful Translation rarely undo the harm they cause. As a result the other ambassadors or representatives are forced to bend over backwards and take every insult or unreasonable request, because if they ever decide to resist for one moment, the ambassador will be immediately insulted and threaten to break all ties.

While it is often the case that the ambassador is just a jerk, this isn't always so. Sometimes the ambassador may actually be a nice guy personally, but has made a deliberate decision to act this way to ensure that everyone knows that they, and the nation they represent, aren't going to be jerked around. Whether or not this act is actually helpful, though, heavily depends on whether the nation behind the ambassador can actually back up his or her threats.

A variant on this is an ambassador who is friendly, but perhaps too much. They are eager to learn the customs of the new culture and are constantly asking questions. While not mean, they seemed to have skipped the chapter that teaches about personal space, privacy, and uncomfortable questions.

See Diplomatic Impunity for when ambassadors are outright criminals. A subtrope of Poor Communication Kills. When the Ambassador is trying to be good, but their government's spies are doing everything the diplomat says they wouldn't do, it's Right Hand Versus Left Hand. May overlap with Ambadassador if they can back the attitude up with personal ability.
07-Ghost/YMMV

* Nightmare Fuel: A Kor woman's face rapidly dissolves with the eye going first.
* Angst Dissonance: Although his tragic past gives him some leeway, Teito constantly moans about Mikage's death every single episode/manga chapter, even though he's been reincarnated.
* Angst? What Angst?: after having had his country invaded and everyone he knew, including his adoptive father, murdered while still a small child, being made a combat slave and forced to kill people daily for training during years and seeing his only friend die after having been possessed by the man who killed Father Teito Klein holds himself remarkably well. He still angsts a lot but who wouldn't in his place?
* Complete Monster: As of Chapter 79 of the Manga, Ayanami is this.
* Crowning Moment of Awesome: Teito using the Eye of Mikhail.
	+ Also, the fights between the bishops and Ayanami's men, plus Teito's fight with Ayanami, in episodes 24 and 25 of the anime.
* Crowning Moment of Funny: Castor's Frau dolls. And the collar scene.
* Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Any moment Mikage and Teito reinforce their friendship. No, really.
* Draco in Leather Pants: Ayanami. Yes, he did kill Mikage, and try to ruin Teito's life, but he still has a very large fanbase.
* Ensemble Darkhorse: Hakuren, initially a Replacement Scrappy for Mikage, until he proves to be a more decent person than his brother, Shuri.
	+ Kuroyuri also counts.
* Launcher of a Thousand Ships: Teito is considered to be this by a large portion of the fandom
* Marty Stu: My God Teito, even the fans agree; Tragic past -check, lost memories -check, secret royalty -check, God-like power -check (he controls the eye of Mikhail AND is Pandora's box), The fact that every character in the series seems to want him -check, the fact that he is constantly labelled as having a pure soul despite the fact that he has murdered -check... The list goes on!
* Viewer Gender Confusion: Kuroyuri says "It's a secret <3" when his gender is questioned in an omake in the manga.
* The Woobie: Teito. The tragic life of a slave, being forced to kill for a living, the fact that everybody wants him, the fact that he happens to be the last surviving member of the royal family of a civilisation that was destroyed, the deaths of his biological father, the man he knew as his father, and Mikage the God-like power that's inside his body, and NOW we learn that the reason Ayanami needs him is that he is Pandora's box
* Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Verloren's motivation.
.hack/Awesome Music

The *.hack* series has some incredible music, it can create a mood perfect for its context and is enjoyable to listen to whilst not playing.

### .hack//IMOQ

* Blackrose's theme
* Aura's Theme
	+ It stays just as good when changed up a bit to Macha Appears.
* Dun Loireag
* Culture City
* Sigma Sky Root
* Skeith: The Terror of Death. Such an awesome song that most of the other Phases had remixed versions of it for their own themes.
* Cathedral
* Cubia's themes. Rather unorthodox for such an epic encounter, in that they are very slow-paced and haunting, yet manage to be awesome in its own way, and very fitting for the battle.

### .hack//G.U.

* Eight Keys
* Hope of Dawn. Aura's theme gets a makeover and is even more beautiful.
* I'm Right Here!. Skeith has to have an awesome theme. It's kind of a requirement.
* The Epitaph is Told, Ovan's theme.
* Everything in These Hands, Azure Kite's impossibly epic battle theme.
* Cubia gets three themes this time: The Third Crisis, Full Force, and Final Bout. All are pure awesome.
.kkrieger

***.kkrieger*** (from *Krieger*, or the German word for warrior) is a first-person shooter video game created by German demogroup .theprodukkt. in 2004. The goal of this game was to generate a game that was massive in size and scope while taking up a very tiny amount of space.

Given how it's basically *Doom 3* level quality in a package that is only 96kb in size, it's safe to say they succeeded.

Tropes used in *.kkrieger* include:
* Excuse Plot: Justified. It was a proof of concept FPS game, so aside from doing generic FPS genre stuff, there is no real plot.
* Obvious Beta: Was released as one. Quite playable regardless, but still considered this since it's more a proof of concept than a full fledged game.
* Procedural Generation: The file size is so low because everything in the game is created using this instead of using traditional storage methods.
* Tech Demo Game: The goal was to make a game that was modern (as of 2004) while still taking up a very small amount of HDD space, done on purpose by its developers to prove it was possible.
15 Storeys High/Trivia

* Hey, It's That Guy!: Peter Serafinowicz (*Shaun of the Dead*, *Look Around You*) as the recurring shady "director" neighbor character.
	+ Mark Lamarr ("Never Mind the Buzzcocks", "Shooting Stars") as a human statue who has had a "shite" day. Lamarr co-wrote the series, but under the name Mark Jones.

15/Love/YMMV

* Ear Worm: That blasted theme song.
* Ham and Cheese: Between Squib and Rick's overracting, Bates' Freak Outs, Jesse's over-the-top Casanova act, and Sunny's borderline sociopathy, the show's ham factor was a major part of its appeal.
* Large Ham: Nearly everyone. Squib, Cody, Nate, Sunny, Jesse, and Bates are all up there, with Rick being the greatest example.
* Mean Character, Nice Actor: Most notably Sunny, whose actress was apparently a very sweet young lady behind the scenes.
* Toy Ship: One episode focussed around *Sunny* of all people getting a crush on a boy around her own age (while a ball boy, also around her age, was crushing on her). It was hysterical.

 File:100 Girls 01.jpg
*100 Girls* is a comic about 100 superpowered clones. Its main character is Sylvia Mark, a girl who leads a normal high.school life but meets a girl who looks exactly like her. When she meets another one, she starts suspecting that she's part of some secret-experiment-wahoola.

The series lasted for 7 issues, from August, 2004 to December, 2005. All written by Adam Gallardo and drawn by Todd Demong.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954 film)/YMMV

* Adaptation Displacement
* Alas, Poor Villain: Nemo during the climax, although he's not really a villain.
* Designated Hero: Ned Land is kind of a *jerkass* throughout the film.
* Designated Villain: Nemo.
* Tear Jerker: Captain Nemo's Backstory. Also his his final moments where he staggers to a viewing window, collapses, and looks at his beloved ocean one last time as he dies.
* Visual Effects of Awesome: The battle with the giant squid. Even today it looks awesome.
	+ Though it was very nearly Special Effects Failure, as the story on the DVD will attest. The first tests for the final battle took place against a beautiful sunset, on a calm sea. The first Giant Squid had stuffed tentacles held up on wires; these grew heavy and hard to control as they took on water, and the bright sunset made the wires painfully obvious. Disney himself was appalled at this first footage, and demanded a reshoot. This reshoot *nearly forced the studio out of business*, and the film's nomination for Best Visual Effects at the Academy Awards proved a Crowning Moment of Awesome for Disney.

Back to *20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954 film)*
1776 (musical)/Trivia

* Cover Drop: It wasn't until after the poster art was created that "The Egg" was written and added to the show.
* Dawson Casting: 26-year-old South Carolinian Edward Rutledge, the youngest man in the Congress -- "except for Ben Franklin" -- was played by then-42-year-old John Cullum.
	+ True of the original Rutledge, Clifford David, as well: he was 37 when the show opened.
	+ Averted with Ken Howard who was only 28 when he portrayed Jefferson in the movie, and 25 when he was in the show on Broadway.
* Executive Meddling: Literally! Then-US President Richard Nixon convinced friend and producer Jack Warner to expunge the musical number "Cool Considerate Men," an ode to wealthy conservatism sung by the antagonist, from The Movie for purely political reasons -- and not just remove it but *destroy all the footage*. As Warner was no longer working with his and his brother's namesake studio, however, the employees responsible merely packed it into unmarked boxes and stashed it with all of the other film negatives, letting Paramount Pictures rediscover it years later for the Special Edition. Nixon had earlier attempted to pressure playwright Sherman Edwards into removing the number after seeing a performance of the play at the White House, but Edwards refused. Guess that makes this Executive *Branch* Meddling. Or Chief Executive Editing.
* Hey, It's That Guy!:
	+ Anyone who doesn't know William Daniels' name will always refer to him as Mr. Feeny. Or Dr. Mark Craig. Or Captain Nice.
		- Or KITT.
	+ Edward Rutledge would later move to Alaska and open a bar and grill.
		- Then he'd become a cantankerous but fair judge.
		- And move on to being the Corrupt Corporate Executive of Urinetown.
	+ Thomas Jefferson would become not only President of the United States, but also President of Kabletown. He'd also go on to coach basketball.
	+ MacNair would later get a job as a shoeshine boy.
	+ And the Reverend Witherspoon would later become Governor Eugene X. Gatling.
* Hey, It's That Place!: The fountain central to "The Lees of Old Virginia" is the same fountain that appears in the opening credits of *Friends*.
* Hey, It's That Voice!: Those that don't recognize William Daniels as Mr. Feeny may recognize his voice as that of KITT.
* The Pete Best: Paul Hecht and Clifford David originated the roles of John Dickinson and Edward Rutledge, respectively, but it was Donald Madden and John Cullum who created the most enduring versions of the characters in the film version.
* Playing Against Type: Both William Daniels and Howard da Silva were cast wildly against type. Circa 1969, Daniels specialized in meek, ineffectual, and prematurely middle-aged characters, while da Silva was best known as a nasty villain (like Jud in the original *Oklahoma!*). In Daniels' case, characters like Dr. Craig and Mr. Feeny were a result of post-*1776* typecasting.
* Typecasting: Ron Holgate (Richard Henry Lee) had already established himself as an actor specializing in roles that called for an extremely Large Ham, like Miles Gloriosus in the original cast of *A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.*

1408/Headscratchers

* After Enslin receives the ominous "Don't enter 1408" postcard, it's never brought up again, not even with Mr. Olin. What would he have had to say if Enslin had shown it to him?
* If Olin really wanted to keep anyone from ever using the room why didn't he just have the windows and door carefully covered up? Heck, if he really wanted to keep Enslin out why didn't he simply claim that the room was undergoing renovations? It's not as though the law states that the hotel has to provide that specific room on demand.
	+ Actually it does. This is made a big point of in both story and movie. (The logic remains for sealing it off. The renovations answer would quickly break down for someone as determined as Mike, though.)
		- In the story, Olin explains that the owners don't believe the room is evil and would fire him if he tried to seal off the room.
	+ Possible Fridge Brilliance: What if they tried that, and *it didn't work?*
"I Am Great" Song

*"I've never lost in battle or game; I'm simply the best by far*

*When swords are crossed, 'tis always the same — one blow and au revoir!"*—**Lancelot**, "C'est Moi", *Camelot*

Other musical characters might sing about the conflicts inherent in their position, or the obstacles in their path, or the things they know are missing from their drab, wretched lives.

Not this character.

The "I Am Great" Song is sung by someone who *can't* sing an "I Want" Song, because there's nothing left for them to want. Their accomplishments, popularity, and undisputed mastery of their field leave absolutely no need for daily affirmations—but they have them anyway, in musical form. Singing one of these songs feels better than it probably should.

Since protagonists have to face conflict, and people love to watch the mighty fall, the hero almost never sings this song. However, it is not always a Villain Song, and the singer can be legitimately great—if songs were Greek heroes, this one would be Achilles.

Can be used as a negative-space version of This Loser Is You.

Subtrope, naturally, of the "I Am" Song. Works best sung by a Large Ham.

See also Bragging Theme Tune, Boastful Rap.

Examples of "I Am Great" Song include:

* Miles Gloriosus' song in *A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum*:

 **Miles:** *I, in war the most admired, in wit the most inspired, in love the most desired, in dress the best displayed, I am a parade!*

* The page quote! Lancelot's song is nothing but this.
* "Perfect Isn't Easy", in *Oliver and Company*.
	+ "Pretty is nice, but still, it's just pretty. Perfect, my dear.... is MEEEEEEEEE!"
* Harry Potter sings in the *Potter Puppet Pals* video "The Vortex" about being the king of the school, and defeating Voldemort as a baby. It has a melancholy end, though, as Harry remembers he also lost his parents as a baby, and had to move to an abusive foster home.
* Frank Sinatra's legacy is typified by "My Way", which is sung from the perspective of an old man as his life draws to a close. The theme of the song is personal integrity; Alas, it has become synonymous with Sinatra's legendary abrasiveness and "take it or leave it" attitude (Ironically, even *he* thought the ego-stroking lyrics too much). Sid Vicious did a much-acclaimed punk cover of the song.
* In the Broadway version of Beauty and The Beast, Gaston sings a song, "Me", about how Belle has no choice but to be madly in love with him, because of how perfect he is in every way. (Gaston's eponymous song in the original isn't just sung by him, but those parts he does sing would qualify as this, too.)
* Don McLean's song "Everybody Loves Me, Baby" is in the voice of a military dictator with wealth, territory, popular acclaim, and no (remaining) rivals, though it is sung to the one person who doesn't seem to be impressed.
2012/Trivia

* Hey, It's That Guy!:
	+ Lane Myer upgraded from speeding in a station wagon to stunt driving in a limo. The again, this isn't the first time John Cusack was a limo driver.
	+ Speaking of which, the last time John Cusack and Amanda Peet were last seen together, he was said limo driver and she was a prostitute.
	+ Woody Harrelson is no stranger when it comes to dealing with end-of-the-world apocalypses. Unlike this one, he actually survives the last one.
	+ Dr.Phlox as a scientist.
	+ Chiwetel Ejiofor, probably best known *here* as The Operative.
	+ Thandie Newton
	+ George Segal as Tony, whose been in so many things, just check out his IMDB page.
	+ Harry, character and voice actor Blu Mankuma
	+ Det. Sgt. Murtaugh as the President.
	+ Mr. Lau and the Russian Prima Ballerina from *The Dark Knight*. The former is down on his luck and makes his living as a construction worker, the latter became the oligarch's girlfriend.
	+ For those fans of fake psychics and real detectives ~~and delicious flavor~~, we didn't wonder why Noah (alias Shawn Spencer, age 10ish) didn't figure it all out before.
	+ The Navy Thunder Ranger is one of the chefs on the boat Harry and Tony are on.
	+ Hollis Mason as the Captain of Ark 04.
	+ Dean Marshall, familiar to Stargate Atlantis fans, is the communications office on Ark 04
2-D Space/Quotes

**Leela**: When you were planning this peace ring, didn't you realize spaceships can move in three dimensions?

**Free Waterfall, Sr.**: No, I did not.—*Futurama*, "The Bird-Bot of Ice-Catraz"

In space battles, as opposed to ground battles, the attacks could come from any position: above, below, behind, or sideways. So many commanders forgot that after years out of a fighter pilot's chair.—**General Wedge Antilles**, *The New Rebellion*
"Just Joking" Justification/Quotes

*"Like a madman shooting firebrands or deadly arrows is a man who deceives his neighbour and says, 'I was only joking!'"*—**The Bible** (New International Version), Proverbs 26:18-19

*"Cruelty is shameful--unless the cruel man can represent it as a practical joke. A thousand bawdy, or even blasphemous, jokes do not help towards a man’s damnation so much as his discovery that almost anything he wants to do can be done, not only without the disapproval but with the admiration of his fellows, if only it can get itself treated as a joke."*—**The Screwtape Letters**, chapter 11
10.5/Trivia

* Artistic License Geology: Gee where do we begin?
	+ Let's start with an earthquake fissure overtaking a train. Or the volcano that erupts without precursory activity, or ya know what it's just easier to accept They Just Didn't Care than actually rattle off the voluminous errors in this miniseries.
	+ Immediately following the original airing of 10.5, the news program showed a bunch of real-life geologists watching the movie/miniseries on TV and *laughing their heads off.*
	+ At the end of the first movie a new seaway opens up from Los Angeles to Barstow. That fine Mojave metropolis is at about 2100 feet above sea level, so you'd expect tall cliffs leading down to the surface of the water below. Instead there's maybe a two-foot difference between the water level and the surrounding land.
* Artistic License Geography: Ellensburg is nowhere near Seattle.
* Artistic License Physics: Gee ya think?
	+ Artistic License Nuclear Physics: Yeah...
12 oz. Mouse/YMMV

* Cult Classic
* Growing the Beard:
	+ As the show began to adopt thriller and Mind Screw elements the characterization and writing improved ten fold.
	+ The moment when the show became good, in the eyes of most fans, is at the end of the third episode [*dead link*]
* Love It or Hate It: Either you can stomach the poor animation and voice acting long enough to watch the interesting story, or you can't. There really dosen't seem to be a middle ground.
* MST3K Mantra: According to the lounge version theme song, "You don't understand/there's no f-ing plan." Indeed.
* Nightmare Fuel: "You found my record, didn't you? Now... spin it."
* Tear Jerker: Skillet's death near the end of the second season.

1632/Heartwarming

* Jeff and Gretchen's first night together as husband and wife. If that doesn't make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, you are not human. The marriage proposal preceding that moment wasn't exactly lacking in the ability to warm hearts, either.
	+ Frank Jackson's impassioned defense of the relationship. Several members of the little emergency council are implying that Gretchen - by virtue of being a German refugee with nothing to call her own - can't possibly be good enough for Jeff. Frank gets absolutely furious, and demands to know whether they assumed his wife of thirty years was "some kind of vietnamese princess," with the implication that there was no other way they'd have been stupid enough to make the claim that marrying a peniless refugee couldn't work out in front of him. We don't see a lot of her in the books, but Frank Jackson loves his wife.
* Whatever other Grantvillers thought of Tom "Stoner" Stone, his sons deeply love and respect him as a father. In the words of his eldest son Frank: "Pop, you have not once, in the past fifteen years, been stoned. Don't think we haven't noticed. Once in a while, about half as often as most guys' dads drink a six-pack, you've been a little buzzed. Never when we needed you. Maybe the rest of the town thinks you're a doper, but we know better. Always have. You've been a damn fine dad, as good as the best, and better than most. No shit."
* Gretchen visits Hans while he is lying wounded on a hospital bed-after going through untold agony for months trying to help Gretchen protect their siblings. Gretchen says, "You don't have to be a soldier anymore..."
* Amazingly given his role in the first book, Admiral Simpson earns a few of these, particularly in the course of his grooming of Eddie Cantrell and Larry Wild as naval officers.

 **Eddie Cantrell**: Yeah, sure, Simpson's a bastard. But dammit, Larry, he's *our* bastard.

* David Bartley earns two of these in "The Sewing Circle" from the first Grantville Gazette:
	+ First, after the hiring of Johan Kipper, when David explains to Johan why the uptimers treat him with respect;
	+ Second, when he supports the takeover of the company by Karl Schmidt because it would make his mother happy.
* Rebecca catching sight of the Roths' menorah and realising that they are openly Jewish. And then Judith telling her that Mike had suspected she would feel safer with a Jewish family, and that was why he had asked them to take her in.
2010: The Year We Make Contact/YMMV

* Contested Sequel: It's agreed that the film does not match the iconography of the original. The debate is whether its more conventional and straightforward plot makes for a much more enjoyable, and understandable film, or it's lost everything that made the original so unique.
* Memetic Mutation: **ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE. USE THEM TOGETHER, USE THEM IN PEACE.**
	+ "You see, something's going to happen." "What?" ***"Something WONDERFUL."***
	+ Humorous variations on the title of the film were used quite a lot as newspaper headlines in the year of 2010.

100 Bullets/Headscratchers

## What did American history under the Trust really look like?

The idea of America being founded and secretly run by a criminal organization is an intriguing idea, but it leaves a few gaps in American history that the series never quite fills in. For example:

* If the Trust actually owned the New World from the get-go, how do you explain the French and Indian War? During that war, the British actually sent troops to North America to fight off a French invasion--why would they do that if the colonies in the New World were actually controlled by the Trust? Who started out owning the 13 colonies? Was it the Trust or the British government?
* If the Trust leaders were the only ones entitled to claim pieces of the New World, how do you account for all the other colonies that a Trust-run America had to buy or take from other countries? Why would they have to buy the Louisiana Territory from Napoleon? Why would the Texans have to lead a rebellion against Mexico?
* What was the Trust's role in America's War of Independence? Were George Washington and company actually members of the Trust, or were they just manipulated by them? What happened that made the Trust want to go from passively running colonies to actively rebelling against the British?
* What were the reasons behind the American Civil War? Were the United States and the Confederate States ruled by warring factions of the Trust, or were the Confederate States just trying to break free from the Trust's tyranny?
'Twas the Night Before Christmas/Fridge

Template:Underlinked

## Fridge Logic

* So the nicest man in the world is going to punish an entire town based on one letter to the editor? How did he even have time to read their newspaper?
	+ Know-it-all Albert declares that Santa isn't real...in a world where he not only DOES exist, but there's *physical evidence* that Santa exists, and he makes no secret of it. Albert was the only one who *was* acting on blind faith!
		- Father Mouse calls the North Pole on the *phone* to confirm why Santa is skipping Junctionville.
	+ For that matter, what exactly was the point of sending the letter to the editor of the local paper? It's never explained what Albert and his friends were trying to accomplish, apart from showing off their vocabularies.
* Clock towers are typically very complex structures and machines, yet Junctionville seemed to get one completely built in a *few weeks!*

## Fridge Horror

* Not so much horror, but when Albert confessed to trespassing and damaging the clock tower on Christmas Eve, you'd think Father Mouse could have roared "You mean you are responsible for damaging the clock, ruining the Clockmaker's business, impoverishing both his family and ours and cheating the town out of its one chance to curry Santa's favor and you are only coming clean *NOW?!*"
13 Assassins/WMG

## Naritsugu was reincarnated 30 years after the events of the film in Imperial Germany.

Okay, so let's consider a few facts about Naritsugu. Firstly, he seems like dressing entirely in white. Secondly, whilst he's nearly always calm and polite, he's an amoral, psychopathic Complete Monster. Thirdly, over the course of film, he develops an interest in war. The logical conclusion of this? 30 years after his death at the hands of Shinzaemon, Lord Naritsugu is reincarnated in Imperial Germany, just as WW 1 is getting going. A couple of decades later, he joins the Nazi Party, and more specifically the S.S., where he rises to the rank of Sturmbannführer - or, in English, Major. He then gets an order from Adolf Hitler himself to start work on creating artificial vampires, and, well... let's just say that, eventually, he gets all the war he could desire.
15 Storeys High

File:Seanlock2 396x222 2986.jpg
British sitcom set in a flat on the 15th floor of a towerblock in South London. The flat is owned by misanthropic, cynical recluse and borderline sociopath Vince Clark (Sean Lock), who is looking for a lodger. Somehow he ends up taking in wide-eyed, cheery social butterfly Errol Spears (Benedict Wong), and misery ensues.

The series lasted from November, 2002 to March, 2004. A total of 12 episodes in two seasons.

Tropes used in *15 Storeys High* include:
* Audio Erotica: The call centre lady who makes one angry customer forget all about the late delivery of his fridge, before walking away from the phone rather stiffly.
* Bad Liar: Vince.
* Berserk Button: Vince *really* doesn't like being touched.
* Brilliant but Lazy: He may not be *brilliant*, but Vince obviously has a brain: he can describe the formation of natural gas, makes allusions to history and literature and is accused of being a middle-class ponce because he reads books for fun. He works as a lifeguard at a public pool.
* Bumbling Sidekick: Errol
* Comedic Sociopathy: This trope is pretty much Vince's entire personality.
* Cringe Comedy
* Fawlty Towers Plot: Vince's habit of lying over the smallest things, and his refusal to admit it, gets him (and Errol) into plenty of dificult situations.
* G-Rated Drug: "Blue Rat", the energy drink containing all the energy of a rat trapped in a can.
* Ice Queen: The neighbor Vince is taken with in the episode aptly titled "Ice Queen".
* Naked People Are Funny: In Series 2, Vince's naturist father makes a visit.
* Odd Couple: Vince is misanthropic and cynical, Errol is sociable, trusting and naive.
* Sliding Scale of Realistic Versus Fantastic: In this Sitcom, the situation is gritty and realistic, while the comedy is much more surreal.
* Sound to Screen Adaptation
* Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: Vince
* Yes-Man: Errol admits that he "doesn't like saying 'no'", and this causes him problems when he gets a job selling car parts to angry customers. Being a total misanthropist, Vince naturally argues with him over this issue, telling him that the only time saying 'yes' is appropriate is as an answer to "did you pack these bags yourself?" in an airport.

(The Customer is) Not Always Right/Tear Jerker

## From *Not Always Right*

* While Your Mileage May Vary, you really gotta feel bad for this guy.

**Dad:** Oh, don’t worry about it. I hate my life anyway.

* This customer. The tear-jerker part is a bit of Fridge Horror.
* Whatever can be said about the current conflict, people coming home from it only to deal with this is depressing.
* This poor little girl, whose mother considers her less important than a credit card. She even tells the workers who watched her daughter to say it's her daughter that's lost next time so she knows not to rush.
* A minor one here.
* It might not exactly be a tear jerker, but it's hard not to feel sorry for this guy/girl.
* This one doesn't sound sad until you put it in hindsight. You can bet this little girl's gonna grow up a Spoiled Brat.

## From *Not Always Romantic*

* Your Mileage May Vary on this one too, but at the least, it is sad.
* Hard not to feel sorry for this poor guy.

(500) Days of Summer/Headscratchers

* Why does everyone take Tom's asking Autumn out as a sign that he learned nothing or a Here We Go Again? Is Tom just supposed to give up on relationships and be like Summer was at first?
	+ i take it as a sign that he had changed for the better really.
	+ It's the fact that the counter restarts. He's right back where he's started, the names have just changed
		- So whether or not he have better luck this time or make the same old mistakes remains unrevealed.
07-Ghost/Tear Jerker

* *07-Ghost* has Mikage's death. Teito surely isn't the only one who can't stop crying after that \* sob\*
* Ayanami's backstory is sad, despite being the main villain. He fell in love with the chief of heaven's daughter, despite not having anything thing like feelings, and her soul was reincarnated in order to prevent it from falling Veloren's hand. So until he could find it, he attempted to take all the souls on the planet to find her. It is sad, but cruel.
