Tropedia

  • 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 Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. 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.

  • Ear Worm: After the Star Trek episode, you can't listen to the Imperial March without signing the lyrics "Star Trek is great! Let's all talk about it now!"
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • In the second Back to the Future episode, the gang decides that Marty has replaced another Marty (the one who grew up in the better 1985 and met Doc at Lone Pine Mall). The second of IDW's comic arcs explored the same question and eventually decided that Marty had not replaced anyone, time had rewritten around him.
    • In "The 4 Worst Lessons Disney Movies Taught Us as Kids", the guys assure Katie that their might one day be "a spunky Disney Princess with glasses". Starting with Rapunzel in Tangled, "spunky" is a pretty good descriptor of Disney heroines from thereon out. And then Mirabel in Encanto was a spunky heroine, albeit not a princess, with glasses.
  • Internet Backdraft:
  • Just Here for Godzilla: Before Cracked.com shut down video content, many people admitted that this was the only reason that they subscribed to their YouTube channel.
  • Replacement Scrappy: The alternate gang, led by Cracked editor, Cody Johnson. The idea, before the series shut down, was to have two alternating gangs talk about pop culture but most fans wouldn't accept anything but the original four.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Many a fan, at least those open to the idea of the second gang, opined that the second gang could have been the diner staff that had a Seinfeldian Conversation about the four.
  • Unfortunate Implications: In the Back to The Future episode, Michael seem genuinely shocked that Dan actually knows a few basic facts about the Civil Rights Movement, and quickly dismisses it as a by-product of his "rap phase". To be fair, Dan calls him on it.
Cquote1

 Dan: The movie takes place in 1955--the year the Civil Rights Movement started!

Michael: Okay, why do you know what year the Civil Rights Movement started?

Dan: Why do you not?

    • Considering that Michael is clearly characterized as a Cloudcuckoolander and borderline Complete Monster (with which side he of the line he falls on being up for debate), this is probably intentional.
    • Building off of the above, in the Sitcom Characters episode, Soren seems almost ecstatic when he thinks Michael is about to confess to being a racist.
