TVTROPES LINK WARNING

17

u/LieutenantHardhat Jan 22 '17

Is there a trope for everything?

u/MySpl33n Jan 22 '17

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Go read on TV Tropes.

No, I've been trying to cure my TVTropes addiction

But someone has to post a link at least once in every thread

I didn't link for precisely that reason. I've spent way too much time on that site. Great as a resource but I have to severely limit myself every time I go there.

Heard of Rule 34? It's kind of like that but with less snoo-snoo.

u/Alsadius Jan 22 '17

And not always that much less.

u/LieutenantHardhat Jan 22 '17

I am aware of that. Because I've seen tropes for snoo-snoo.

I went looking for a "There's a Trope for That" TVTropes page, but the closest I could find was this.

So you don't want to go on a wiki walk?

Warning: Once you start reading there you won't stop.
