Viewers have their own Stock Phrases. There are some tropes that evoke the same response in the audience every time, possibly at the same time, all over the world. Expect occasionally to hear them from the Genre Savvy and Deadpan Snarker. Basically anyone who edits this wiki.

Reviewers also have their own stock phrases.
