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.

  • David Mitchell's reaction upon finding out that the story about British radio and television presenter Mike Read doing a 10-minute political rap at the Conservative Party Conference was true.
Cquote1

 David: How are [the Tories] ever going to get back into office? Are they trying? It it match-fixing? Is someone bribing them to be terrible at politics? Mike Read! Ten minutes! Rapping?! What the fuck is that?! [goes briefly incoherent] The reason Tony Blair can start wars for no- you know, without asking people - is that there's no opposition! It's their fault! It's Mike Read's fault! The deaths of our servicemen are on his conscience!

Angus Deayton: I do hope Mike Read is watching this.

  • Stephen Mangan successfully convincing Lee's team that he had nicknames for both his big toes.
  • Lee, when he was claiming his "Possession" was a coconut that nearly killed him:
Cquote1

 Trisha Goddard: I'm suspicious because you're not allowed to bring any fruits or vegetables from foreign countries in--

Lee: Well, you've made the classic mistake there, Trisha, because a coconut isn't a fruit or a vegetable. It is in fact a seed.

Cquote2
  • Jimmy Carr straight-up admitting he'd lost his virginity at 26. He did it as a Truth/Lie, but didn't in fact feel the need to justify it like some others would.
  • Greg Davies hardly said anything that wasn't great, but his Moment Of Awesome came when he managed to convince Lee's team that his statement (which they were sure was a lie) was true simply by saying "This is true" with as much conviction as possible.
Cquote1

 Greg [turning to his captain]: Do you feel, David, any genuine sense of competition in this game?

David: Yes, I do, yeah.

Greg: Then I think you're going to like me very much. It was a lie.

Cquote2
  • It's something very minor, but when David says that peacocks are very posh animals Lee corrects him saying that people do farm peacocks and that these are found in very rural places (which is, by the way, true): for a moment it seems that David is going to explode, but then he stops and realises that he doesn't actually know. He then goes off with a rant anyway, but...
Cquote1

 David: No, no, peacocks are in very posh places and very formal places.

Lee: In very rural places, generally.

David: No, no, it's not like, you don't farm peacocks!

Lee: Yes they do. People do farm peacocks.

David: No but no wha... *beat* *raises arms* Okay!

Cquote2
  • Bob Mortimer demonstrating breaking an apple in two with his bare hands.
    • Viewers who have seen Shooting Stars will have known his story was true from the start, because he once did the same thing on that show, but with a coconut!
