At least it's not as bad as what someone else did with a character from this movie...
But still, thinking a very young girl is a sex symbol due to ONE LINE a character says? I think what Max meant was "get hot" as in "be very popular", not the SEXUAL meaning!

That or an extremely large, extremely autistic fan base, which is why there are pony examples on every major trope. If you wanted to do a sober up game to try to recover from alcoholism, you could invent a game where you try to find a trope article of X length that doesn't have ponies on it somewhere and take a drink when you do. You would soon be a teetotaller.

I also see SpongeBob on many trope pages, but strangely enough, the films of that series appear more than episodes of the show.

Family Guy is complete trash though.

The really confusing part is these people have the balls to rag on anything when they think MLP is quality television.

I know it is, but the amounts of hate of they have for anything that Enter bashed is a sight to see.

Type 'Ren Seeks Help' into DeviantART if you want to find the motherload.

It's a sad state of affairs when I'm thinking a furry sexualizing animals is still a step above anyone who thinks of Darla Dimple as their wanking material.

It's ironic how the original point of the site--providing a succinct vernacular for vaguely defined storytelling elements--is completely undone by this bloated and arcane vocabulary they force in the most awkward ways. You can't define tropes with more tropes.

Especially when many tropes are named after some obscure anime or even a fanfiction that maybe three people ever read and two of them are the editors of the article on it.
 
I can't believe the number of pages based off preschool shows I keep finding....

From the Dora the Explorer page:
  • Sequel Episode: In one episode, Boots retrieves his favorite toy for a sleepover with Dora. The next episode has Dora and Boots helping a little rooster to wake up the sun the next morning.
What? How can these two be connected? They are two separate unrelated events!
And from the YMMV page of the same show:
  • Tastes Like Diabetes: This show can qualify as such due to its very light-hearted nature, though the writing isn't as childish as shows like Teletubbies.
Yeah, because a show that talks down to the viewers has better writing than a show that does not...

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse even got it's own page, with this little gem on it:
"Screw Batman! Preschool shows are better than him!" Nobody would agree with your flawed logic.
 
From one of the South Park episode recap pages:

They say this like it's a bad thing.
 
I for one welcome the coming of the Great Lumberjacking.

It's like it's not enough they make some reference to a show they like. It has to be the most oblique and unintuitive reference they can manage.

"Cowboy Bebop At His Computer" is a great example. What the hell does this even mean?

Apparently, it's a reference to how screw ups occur when referencing other media and details like character names and other facts are rendered horribly wrong.

Then again, you wouldn't know that based on the title of the trope, which sounds like an obscure bullshit reference with no context.

Does anyone have a better name for this trope that I can put on ATT? Just wondering
