Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • Shortly before the Basterds attempt to meet their double agent in the bar:
Cquote1

 Aldo: Fighting in a basement presents several difficulties, the first of which being, you're fighting in a basement.

  • While strategizing their entry into the theater:
Cquote1

 Aldo: I speak the most I-Talian here, so I'll be the escort. Donnie here speaks second most I-Talian, so he'll be your cameraman. Omar, over there, speaks third most I-Talian--

Omar: I don't speak Italian.

Aldo: Like I said, third best. Just keep your fuckin' mouth shut. Fact, why don't you you start practicin'!

Cquote2
  • "Bon-jorn-oh!"
  • Landa speaking perfect Italian, an Oh Crap moment for the Basterds.
    • Aldo realizes early that their plan is a horrible idea, and his face for the entire scene is a hilariously contorted grimace.
  • The old-fashioned X-ray vision showing the bombs tied to the ankles of Omar and Donnie in the theatre.
  • Donny offering 'champagne' to Hitler's guards. "Cham-pan-yuh?"
  • Two words, or rather, seven words: "NEIN! NEIN! NEIN! NEIN! NEIN! NEIN! NEIN!"
  • And shortly before that, the painter of Hitler's HUMONGOUS PORTRAIT giving the Fuhrer a thumbs-up.
    • Fridge Brilliance. Artists uses thumbs as way of maintaining perspective on their subjects.
  • I think I can top this in three words: That's a BINGO!
  • "The Germans' nickname for me is 'The Little Man?'"
    • "To be honest, I'm surprised by how tall you actually are."
    • The best part is the look on Aldo's face during that exchange. He doesn't say a word about it, but you can see "Man, I was hoping he wouldn't find out about that," written right on his face.
  • A little black humour in here, while rescuing Hugo, the Basterds kill his captors in the most over the top and bloody ways. After that, while talking to him, one of the soldiers appear to be alive, and one of the Basterds answers him with a shot. Without changing expression, or looking to him. Without camera movements. Its hilarious. No, really.
  • Landa inspecting Stiglitz's body.
Cquote1

 Landa: "Ah, Hugo. You've moved up in the world! Look at you, 'Lieutenant First Class', and with your record of insubordination. Truly remarkable."
