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: The original song. Other songs introduced in the films qualify as well.
  • Tear Jerker: Admit it.
  • What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?: Yarrow insists that the song is entirely innocent and has no meanings beyond the obvious. Nevertheless, it's widely believed that the song is some sort of extended drug reference. (As seen in Meet the Parents; Greg Focker believes this hypothesis)
    • According to The Other Wiki, the Singaporeans believed such, too. To the point where the song was banned in 1963 out of concerns that it references marijuana use.
    • As far as the song goes, pretty much a case of Death of the Author by a Misaimed Fandom, because, as detailed by the other wiki, the lyrics are based off of something written by Leonard Lipton to get the poem "Custard the Dragon" out of his head. In fact, he gets royalties.
    • The films have a lot to answer for, what with Puff encouraging children to view the world through insight-granting clouds of smoke.
