That's one of my favorites too.
Also

I was actually thinking of a scene from a shitty, not co-related comedy I saw a month or so ago where a character got impaled on a pipe and didn't notice, but that's actually better.
when a character "trips" and the animation budget rises
Kind of unrelated to /co/
>Character in live action series has a dream
>It's completely animated
>Character say's a lame joke
>Someone from somewhere throws a random object at them when the joke wasn't funny at all
That always tickles me funny bone.
>>83338065
>>Poster say's[sic] a lame post
>>Someone from somewhere throws a random (You) at them when the post wasn't funny at all
>Angry stepdad comes home and beats main character before fucking his mom
episode just follows each main character, all in the same situation or just living out an average day.
futurama did this twice, and so did the simpsons. what other shows have?
>the "we parody something kids have never seen before" episode
>>83337385

>>83341897
I like when someone suggests something simple yet everyone ignores it or claims it's dumb or insane, then when the person just gets fed up and does it themselves everyone wonders why didn't anyone think of that before?
Cue eye roll, face palm or whispered "I hate all of you".
I experience stubbornness all the time so I know it's genuinely frustrating to deal with, but there's something amusing about seeing it unfold in TV.

Shit, remind me, which episode was this?
>>83343774
>>83337778
Misfits? Not that I think it's shitty, Ive only seen one episode.
>>83340781
Probably because a pretty significant percentage of the audience will cringe when characters start singing in a sincere way and have to fast forward past it.
>comic relief goes dead serious and kicks ass
I remember Odd from Code Lyoko and Beast Boy from 2003 Teen Titans doing this. Always appreciated this.
>Oh please, it's not like (description of extremely specific event) could ever happen!
>Extremely specific event happens.
>>83344269
I think it's more that the talent required for actual quality opera or singing/songwriting on a full musical scale (not just one song) is expensive.
don't really know if you could call it a trope but
>intro song explains the backstory of the show
>>83337589
>something heavy falls on a character
>IM OKAY!
>something even heavier falls on the same character
>IM STILL OKAY!
bonus if it's just some random background character
>>83341043
> angry main character comes home and fucks his mom before beating his stepdad
>>83344543
That gets annoying after the first 5 episodes

Was Futurama the show that started to do the door gag, but they just ran through one door and got cornered? Because I loved that.
These tropes sound awfully unfunny when pointed out and described.
>the nerdy of the group starts spewing technical jargon
>"Okay in English please?"
>Different characters tell their side of a story
>In each version, the narrator is portrayed as some awesome funny hero while everyone else is either impossibly dickish and stupid or worships the narrator
>>83340781
Some of my favorite episodes right here. Hey Arnold had a ton of them and they're all S tier. Jim Lang crushed it doing the music for that show.
>>83345508
Same, I thought he meant like things go slow motion when someone trops over something and shit gets all intense before he hits the ground
>>83345595
A lot rides on context and execution, yeah
>2 characters are in a comedic fight; one of them turns giant
>The other turns slightly bigger
>Then the first guy turns slightly bigger, this goes on and on until their heads are in the stratosphere
If that's hard to picture, King-Size Canary is a good example of this trope.
>>83342366
Steven Universe subverted this in the Moon Temple episode.
>>83345669
Oh shit, too gold.
>>83345619
This one's actually my least favorite, especially if they either used big words that anyone knows/ completely understandable sentences, or if they actually say a cluttered mess of tech words that don't even form a sentence.
My favorite is

Really, any improbable way of hiding that somehow works flawlessly.

You guys have to be fucking around in here. You're pointing out all the fucking obnoxious ones. I don't know what "tropes" I like but these are among the bottom of the barrel, for a whole fuck ton of people.

Tvtropes might be shit, but that doesn't mean their lingo isn't useful. Especially since most of it doesn't originate from Tvtropes to begin with, and you obviously already know what the word means.
>its a villian having a normal everyday life episode

SpongeBob exclusive, but "my leg!" Never fails to make me chuckle.

When a villain and their second in command actually respect each other and the second in command isn't a backstabbing weasel.
Thank you, Wesley.
>>83344779

Are there any other good examples of a Wesley type character in other shows?

No that's just you faggot.
>>83340781
there was one in malcom in the middle. dewey writes an opera about his parents fighting
I dunno. I always been a big fan of the "Middle School is srs business" trope. Where Hall Monitors are cops. Student Council are real politicians. Definite hierarchy and stuff like that. Kind of like what you see in Fillmore and Paranatural.
Weird since Middle School when I was a kid sucked, and no one every has fond memories of Middle School. But the trope make me smile for some reason.
>>83340781
American Dad had an opera episode too I think
>>83345669
Extra points if each story is done on a diferent style of animation
>>83337700
Context?
>>83342366
t. Grappling Hook.

Man, I've been looking for this one video of this dude just talking about the My Leg joje and cracking up.
>>83344339
It's called having depth.
>Character gets covered by something
>"Hey! Who turned out the lights?"
most of these are the shit ones, ones you see coming but still end up taking up enough space to where you're just sitting there looking around or watching how the animation works for that time because whatever it is they're saying is fucking predictable. Especially that "in english please" one, most of the time whatever it is the smart one is saying takes like 30 fucking seconds
