  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO SelfCloak. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Basic Trope: A character taps someone on the shoulder (or does something else to get their attention), then punches them as they turn around.

  • Straight: While infiltrating Trope Inc., Bob taps a security guard on the shoulder, waits for them to turn around and knocks them out with a punch.
  • Exaggerated: This is Bob's only method of dealing with security guards.
  • Justified: It looks cool, and it works.
  • Inverted: A security guard taps Bob on the shoulder, then hits him in the face with the rifle butt.
  • Subverted: The security guard turns around, sees the punch coming and ducks it.
  • Double Subverted: So Bob knocks him out with the other hand.
  • Parodied: Bob's haymakers can send security guards through walls 10 ft away.
  • Deconstructed: Bob breaks his hand trying to knock out a super soldier.
  • Reconstructed: So he weakens the super soldier, *then* haymakers them.
  • Averted: Bob uses chokeholds and other more silent methods of subduing security guards.
  • Enforced: Rule of Cool/Rule of Funny
  • Lampshaded: "Peekaboo, motherfucker."
  • Invoked: ???
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: "What is with this guy and haymakers?"
  • Conversed: ???
  • Played for Laughs: As a prank, one of the security guard's collegues has sellotaped a note on the back of his suit: "Haymaker me, please." Bob is all too happy to oblige.
  • Played for Drama: ???
