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.

Fridge Brilliance[]

  • I always disliked the ending of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Even though it was a comedy, I always hoped they would resolve the story, but instead the film ends with the entire cast being arrested. But I realized: This ending is, quite literally, a "cop out" ending. It is genius!
    • This troper saw it also clever for a different reason. It's a creative license interpretation to how the Legend of King Arthur ended; he goes to a climatic final battle, and ultimately killed in it. Here, he and every knight on the field were all arrested, ending the 'modern' parody of the legend.
  • "I'M - IN - VINCABLE!" Well, seeing as how he's still alive after all that, yes, yes he is.
  • It took me a good long time to make the connection between the three minutes of blackness that ends the movie and the sacking of the credits staff at the beginning of the film.
  • The Coconut Scene. The Python's accurately predicted the basic premise of every single Internet Fight over plot holes in media. You have Gaurd #1 who argues one side of the arguement which makes the issue seem bigger than it really is. Gaurd #2 who argues the other side useing one or two plausible in-verse explinations for the plot hole. And Arthur, who doesn't give a darn either way and wants to discuss something else with more signifigance.
