Because that site has eaten my life and because sometimes it has prime funny.

  • As far as the Old Testament goes, Moses is the man. The guy was born in rags, rose to riches, then went "FU Egypt!" and ran away to Arabia. Then God comes to him and he is like, "Go to hell, dude", so God begs him to get the Jews outta Egypt. Then Moses says, you know, I was raised as a pharaoh's son so I know rhetorics and shit, but I don't wanna do the talking for You. And God's like, no problem, and appoints Aaron as his PR manager. So Moses goes our and shows everyone what it's like to be made of pure, condensed badass. For 40 years in a row! And then the God's like all grateful to him and Moses just goes "FU, man, lemme die in peace, already". And that's so badass, God buries him personally. Now, that's a man we are talking about.--from Gushing Over Characters You Like: Literature
  • Getting in bed with James Bond is, under Massachusetts state law, Assisted Suicide. Tracy, the one woman whom he married in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, didn't even make it to her honeymoon—and really, how cruel is that? Why else would anyone marry James Bond if not for the experience of the honeymoon?—from Cartwright Curse
  • Dear directors of Troy. Your film was an ungodly blight upon the pages of history, and I would kindly like to request that next time you feel like violating the fond memories some of us have of reading the various accounts of the battle of Troy, you include a lot more footage of Garrett Hedlund sweaty and whimpering at sword-point.--from Fetish Fuel: Film
  • The premise of Dirty Jobs is that an attractive older man with a nice baritone travels the country to writhe around in muck and mire and occasionally stick his hands into various animal orifices.--from Fetish Fuel: Live Action TV
  • CJ Cregg is Ms. Perky! Alex Mack is Bianca! Jim Hawkins is Cameron! Charlie Eppes is Michael! And, of course, the Joker is Patrick! --from Ten Things I Hate About You
  • Why is there no Indiana Jones in here?! / Because Indiana Jones goes without saying. Honestly, it'd be like making a trope page "Days The Sun Has Risen" and listing them all.--from Perverse Sexual Lust: Film
  • My moment of fridge brilliance was when I realized that the movie [_The Little Mermaid_] is an allegory about transsexuality that works just too well. Ariel is born into the wrong body, spends her childhood dreaming about having the right body, is subject to emotional abuse by her father trying to "fix" her, sells her body to pay for some dangerous surgery by an unlicensed doctor (sea witch Ursula), and most importantly, loses her voice. It just makes too much sense.--from Fridge Brilliance: Flim
  • G Rated Drug: The show makes more sense when you replace candy with alcohol. / But if we do that then we have an island made entirely out of booze. / I'm game.--from The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack
  • The Land Before Time has the (dinosaur) children basically reenacting "The Divine Comedy" by being separated from their families (death), traveling through the post "earth-shake" wasteland (Purgatory), passing through "the Mountains That Burn" (Hell), defeating The Sharptooth (Satan), before finally being allowed to enter the Great Valley (the Kingdom of Heaven).--from Earn Your Happy Ending
  • Fun Fact: 300 was not filmed or edited at all; instead, 3 hours worth of 35mm film was dipped into a large vat containing a concoction of pure testosterone, shredded footballs, and pureed porn mags & first edition Conan books, left to sit overnight. When the film was pulled out the next morning, they had the master reel for 300, ready for projection.--from Rated M For Manly
  • Fiction: People make stuff up; it's sometimes based on truth, but it's often complete make-believe. This results in the formation of multi-million dollar industries, varying degrees of fame and fortune for those doing the making-up, and numerous and often intense discussions about it on the Internet. / Historical Fiction: Fanfiction about real life.--from Better Than It Sounds: Other
  • Wanna look damn good in clothes with labels that no one will see (that only other fashionistas will recognize at first glance)? I sure hope your wallet's a thick one. It'd better be authentic leather or possibly crocodile skin, at that. Who would settle for a $8 cardigan from Wal-Mart when you can get practically the same exact one, albeit designed by a gay Italian man for $80?--from Crack is Cheaper
  • Call it insane, but this troper would like to think that Mr Rogers will be the first person he meets when he gets to heaven; yes, even before GOD HIMSELF. / That actually sounds like a sweet deal. Just imagine getting up to the pearly gates and standing in front of it is Mr. Rogers dressed in his zip-up cardigan and sneakers. And then as the gates open up Mr. Rogers, with a big smile on his face, will put his hand on your shoulder and say, in that gentle voice of his, "Welcome to the Neighborhood. Please neighbor, let me show you around."--from Tear Jerker: Real Life
  • Let's be honest. About a third of you out there (two thirds, if you're African-American) probably owe your conception to either him Marvin Gaye.--about Barry White, from Intercourse With You
  • American Accents: Brad Pitt fakes redneck Appalachian throughout the film. Even while speaking I-talian. If you can call that "speaking" it. / That was supposed to be Appalachian? His accent wandered all over the South, including to places that don't actually exist, oftentimes within a single sentence!--from Inglourious Basterds
  • The Church Of Happyology and many other cults are like peanut M&Ms: bright and colorful on the outside, dark and full of nuts on the inside.--from Crapsaccharine World
