Made of Win Archive Early 2012

NOTE: There are no MOW archives for Late 2012 or all of 2013 at All The Tropes.
User:T-Jack: One to whomever came up with the current Naughty Tentacles page. Simple, efficient in getting the point across and funny as hell.

User:Sonic Lover: ...It's a redlink.

User:Telcontar: Click on the link anyway. It takes you to a blank white background with text saying "We do not want a page on this topic."

User:Sgt Frog 1: I just clicked on it. It's pretty much the ultimate in No Just No.

User:Progeny Ex Machina: One for whoever added this to Jinora's entry on the The Legend of Korra/Characters page: "Thinks Like a Romance Novel: Though the romance in question seems to be more along the lines of Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

User:whereismytea: One for whoever is responsible for this over on the Irony page. "I'm sure we can all agree that a ferrous wheel is ironic."

User:Encrypted 12345: A win for Arha for being a bro in the forums and for creating pages I'm too lazy to make myself.

User:Chris X: A Win for the one who adds the footer in the Tear Jerker page of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. God, made me crack and feels like wanting to say, "Shut up, Kyubey, you'll just make things worse."

User:Treblain: Just came across Selective Magnetism, and I award it a TV Tropes Made of Win Archive for the The Legend of Zelda: Oracle Of Seasons entry that speculates that the magnetic gloves operate using magnetic monopoles. Fantasy physics FTW.

User:Telcontar: Looking through recent changes to discussion pages can be interesting. Here's one gem I found -- Pointless is a series, but that phrase sums up most discussion pages!

User:Sonic Lover: "Created today." Maybe it was created just for that joke?

User:Telcontar: Doesn't seem so -- it's a legit page.

User:Ingonyama: Two. One for whoever wrote the hilarious caption for the image on the Shapeshifting page--"Not depicted: Refried Bean Gas Cloud" (with Refried Bean potholed to Deadly Gas). Two for the troper who noted on the Raiders of the Lost Ark page that the Ark was a literal Deus Ex Machina.

User:Earnest: Thanks, I'm not ashamed to admit dealing out the refried beans. =D Funnily enough, the quote is actually accurate. Alucard has a third shapeshifting form that can be upgraded from regular mist to poison mist. Plus, it wouldn't surprise me if it dealt more damage after eating a red bean bun (which is also actually in the game).

User:Medinoc: One to User:Hope Fox for his "when" in the Oblivion example of Prank Date.

User:Doug S Machina: Kudos to User:movie 007, who name I keep seeing on Edit Reasons, page histories and Recent Edits and is clearly a namespace-changing machine.

User:Lancelot G: Whoever noted on the Hypercompetent Sidekick page that the Duck Dodgers incarnation of Daffy Duck "doesn't so much hold the Idiot Ball as have it surgically implanted in place of his actual brain."

User:Reflextion: One for User:Deboss, for his apt use of a particular image in his edit reason for cutting the Real Life section of And There Was Much Rejoicing.
 * You can do that!?

User:Zarbi Nerada: One for the caption on the Characters Characters page Flower Trio image:
 * That scroll bar is horrifying!

User:Robster 2001: For posterity, the April Fools' 2012 prank. Kudos to all involved in creating all of the homepages, and to Eddie for setting up the random rotation.

User:Medinoc: One to User:Teh Fire Shark for his pothole "Me too." in Doom.

User:Sonic Lover: Quick context update: the bullet point where it is is Open Says Me.

User:Willy Four Eyes: Point to the silly bastard who managed to fit in a Wizard of Oz reference under Panthera Awesome:

User:Sonic Lover: I don't know. I think anybody would have done that given that setup.

Myra: Half a Win each to User:ama Xdear and User:luigifan for this neat demonstration of the various Yay-tropes (on Harry Potter (Franchise)/Heartwarming):
 * The line "Lupin, who appeared dazed by his own happiness." It doesn't matter if you ship Lupin/Tonks, Lupin/Sirius, Lupin/Snape, Lupin/Hermione, or Lupin/Whomping Willow -- you teared up at that line.

User:kirbymaster 7491: To User:Kayvan Shrike and whoever originally wrote the Patrick Stewart Speech in the Real Life section of You Are Not Alone. You made me cry in a good way. I don't even care if it's been nominated before. I'll nominate it again.

User:Medinoc: Speaking of illustrations, one point to User:Random Chaos for the picture in Twin Threesome Fantasy.

User:Looney Toons: Gotta love the illustration and caption for Empty Room Psych. Props to User:Wandering Tedium and User:Stratadrake (at least for the current version).

User:Earnest: The stinger at the bottom of Playing With/ Action Survivor made my day: "We need someone to get back to Action Survivor - you're not the ideal person for the job, but you're the Closest Thing We Got!"

User:Schrau: I feel that the image caption for Nose Art is a reference of some sort, but its inclusion is still worthy of a MoW for User:Willbyr.

User:g 3 m 1 n 1: User:Sgt Hydra for adding this under Small Girl, Big Gun in Black Rock Shooter. You, sir/madam, made my day.
 * Guns for the Gun God! Lolis for the Loli Throne!

User:Carbonek 13: One for User:Darkspectar for his edit of the Sean Connery YMMV page:

"Nothing. Everything about Sean Connery is definitive."

User:Madrugada: The discussion page for Trope Name Injokes. I never looked at it before. It's simply wonderful.

User:Old Man Ho Oh: To use of the hottip that's actually used well in Mainstream Obscurity:


 * Pokémon. There are as-yet undiscovered native tribes that would recognise Pikachu, and Pokémon references are endemic in pop culture.

User:Falcon Pain: To User:Narsil, for successfully making the phrase "Your Mom is Older Than Dirt" a valid edit reason on both trope pages and Older Than Steam.

User:Dryunya: This is Win on so many levels...

User:Sonic Lover: For the record, the edit was adding this example: "A "Your Mother" joke was found on a cuneiform tablet from ca. 1,500 BC."

User:Grandy: To whoever contributed for the following conversation in the headscratchers page for Dead Rising 2:
 * Okay, the "security footage" that supposedly proves Chuck was behind it is a low-quality video of someone in his full-coverage game suit, including helmet, seen only from behind. It could be three penguins standing on each other's shoulders for all we can tell. Yet everyone seems to take it as proof positive. Yes, she did mention a reliable source claimed it was him... but seriously, a video like that, and seemingly no-one even considered it could be someone else in the video?
 * Are you suggesting the The Penguins of Madagascar are behind this nefarity?
