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.

  • "Reverend Jim: A Space Odyssey" is a Crowning Episode of Funny with such highlights as:
    • Tony winning his fight by default because his opponent tripped on the ropes climbing into the ring and knocked himself out.
    • Latka's adventure in Harlem:
Cquote1

 LATKA: So I was walking around, eh, lost, and I go into the bar and I tell everyone I am looking for a fight.

BOBBY: Uh, did you find one?

LATKA: Well, lots of people offered to help.

[...]

LATKA: So, how was your fight?

TONY: I won!

LATKA: Oh, you are a bad dude!

Cquote2
    • Jim slipping a tranquilizer into Louie's coffee, causing him to break into song and pass out on one of the cabs. And he's still there at the end of the episode!
    • And, of course, "Whaaaaaaaat doooooooes aaaaaaaaaaa yeeeeeeeeelloooooooooow liiiiiiiiiiiight mean?"
  • "Jim the Psychic", in which Jim foretell's Alex's death. Most of the episode is pretty bland, but the payoff is well worth it.
  • Latka's funniest moment would have to be his daydream in "Fantasy Borough" - a revenge fantasy in which he and Louie have switched roles, costumes, and personalities.
  • A case of Seinfeld Is Unfunny, but before Danny Devito was well known, nobody knew how short he was. The moment he steps out of the dispatcher's cage in the pilot, the audiences roared with laughter.
  • Louie destroying his high school reunion by touching his old crush's hair.
  • Blueberries or blue berries?
  • Jim trying to sell a vacuum cleaner. After his tortuous sales pitch, the punchline comes: "Oh right, I didn't get the vacuum cleaner job. I'm selling Encyclopedias."
  • Elaine meets the perfect man in her cab, and they have a long, intimate conversation on the way to his destination. Then it turns out Louie had been listening in the whole time. The audience's reaction completely drowns out the next couple lines.
