Your clicktrance of the day: TVTropes

[andygates]

TVTropes is a gert big wiki site that deconstructs those cheesy tropes found on telly.  Hit random or search for your favourite guilty-pleasure telly, toon or scifi.  I was put onto it by some Mortal Engines fans.  My ass is going numb sat here.

You know, I'd swear some series just hit the randomizer a few times for each week's plot.  "Hmm, we got an earth-shattering kaboom, a hot amazon, slap slap kiss, scare em straight and the xanatos gambit."  "Can I have a no-one survives that as well?"

So, is a trope a generically-typed meme?

Dammit, I've just moved desk and I'm stoned on Niceday FoamClene. I'm not sure that a trope has the content to qualify - it's more of a meme helper class, no?

I've been reduced to panting, breathless laughter by this.

A random selection:

Blood Ties: She's a Canadian police detective who is slowly losing her sight. He's a vampire. They fight crime!

Turbo Teen: A teenager gets the ability to Shape Shift into... a car.

Heil Honey, I'm Home!: A sitcom about Hitler, Eva Braun, and their wacky Jewish neighbors. Lasted one episode.

Princess Tutu: a duck-turned-girl-turned-Magical Girl fights evil with the power of ballet. Additionally, her ballet teacher is an anthropomorphised cat; no one notices or cares.

Damn you!
