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.
Charlie Chaplin in Modern Times in the first factory sequence when the pressures of that inhuman factory floor get too much and the Tramp goes berserk like a loony ballet dancer throwing the plant into chaos.
Chaplin has so many moments to choose from, but for me it's got to be the Mutual short, "The Adventurer", when fugitive Chaplin scribbles over his mugshot in a paper, and the police think it's antagonist Eric Campbell. It's so ridiculous it's brilliant.
Gold Rush. The Tramp is stuck in a cabin during a blizzard with two huge mountain men: as tensions run high, the two come to blows, and end up spinning in circles as they grapple for a shotgun - the barrel of which follows Chaplin all over the cabin as he tries to find cover. Watching Chaplin practically climb the ceiling to get away from a seemingly-sentient shotgun is just awesome.
The boxing fight in City Lights, with the Tramp keeping the referee between himself and the other boxer for the whole match, occasionally reaching over to take potshots at him.
