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.

  • Ned in Pushing Daisies gets one with his great performance in the sword fight in 'The Fun in Funeral'. Especially at the end, where he prevents the criminal from escaping by throwing his sword so that it lodges into a wall, causing his foe to run into it and fall, whereupon the sword comes flying out of the wall, and Ned catches it. Not bad for a guy who bakes for a living.
    • Add to this the dialogue going along with the swordfight:
Cquote1

 Wilfred Woodruff: You should know that I was thrice named ultimate sword master at the Southern Area Regional Volunteer Infantry Reenactment Regiment!

Ned: I wanted to be a Jedi.

    • More for Ned:
      • He successfully rescues Olive's falsely accused escaped convict friends by using his ability to resurrect a rhinoceros. His finger really is faster than a speeding bullet!
      • His grand denouncement of the rent-a-friend agency, and finding of a real way to help its customers.
    • Also in the Pie-lette, when Aunt Lily blows the robber who killed her niece and almost killed her out the window with a shotgun.
    • How 'bout a double in Girth? Olive faces the murderous old lady on a horse, singing/shouting "The old gray mare ain't what she used to be," as the horse charges towards her. A moment later, Emerson knocks the killer off the horse with a shovel and tells said shovel he loves it.
    • When the sweet shop that just opened up across the road tries to sabotage Ned by changing his shop sign to say "The Pie Ho," Chuck and Olive respond in kind. Olive gets in by strapping on a helmet and charging through the glass door, then they set a whole bunch of rats loose and walk out saying "Don't mess with the Pie Hos." You can get it on T-shirts.
      • In the same episode, Ned gets sent to jail, and Olive visits him with a pie that she tells him has a "special filling." Then we see the pie has a revolver shape in it, with six little bullet shapes to go with it. Badass.
    • In the circus episode, Chuck slyly wheedling information out of the runaway girl's friend.
