Made of Win Archive Late 2009/Part 2

Medinoc: Has somebody mentioned yet the... traumatizing pic from Hard Gay?

Inkblot: You will never get that image out of your head.

thatother 1 dude: Well, that explains how the damn things weighed 73 pounds.

Earnest: If I could direct your attention to this bit of banter in an example of Equal Opportunity Evil, I'm sure you'll agree that UT 87.127.17.167 and Matthew The Raven deserve a MOW point.


 * Is being a Samurai counted as a disability these days?
 * Yes. He's in a Space Western. He's legally Genre Blind, and any reasonable government would have issued him a troping-eye dog.

Scud East: That's very nice. Was I the only one who assumed it referred to the Operative from Serenity until I clicked the link?

That Other 1 Dude: I figured it might have had something to do with Firefly.

Matthew The Raven: The Operative is a space ninja, fighting against space cowboys and cannibalistic space pirates. The classic triumvirate of pirate-ninja-cowboy. But thanks. I just wish I'd been keeping track of these.

Mizaru: Quantum Mariah Carey Problem, in its entirety. If I had to choose a single greatest page on this wiki, that would definitely be a serious candidate.

Inkblot: * claps*

tennessean: Sorry to rain on your parade, but I nominated that like several months to a year back. Still, it's an awesome article!

Wolfgirl 44: I would like to give a MOW for whoever is responsible for this line on Running Gag: "Alternatively, a Running Gag is what you do on the way to the toilet after the joke has been repeated too often." That was the most laughing I've done in a while.

Earnest: One well earned MOW to Lizuka for the... err... "picture" in Empty Room Psych.

fleb: Susan Davis wins for the Real Life example of Chandler's Law.

{{Sneebs}: I wish to nominate the image used for Lethal Joke Character. [[media:oshgfp_resize.jpg|Just look at it!]] Funny, ddynamic and effectively illustrates the concept oh-so-well. I approve!

Inkki Bookman: Heheheh, a CMOA for Aquaman? whatever will they think of next?

Inkblot: I think what Inkki Bookman's trying to say (that phrase really should have a page on here) is that someone else already nominated that picture.

Jesin: Here's one for whoever potholed "pure functional languages" on the Multi Core Processor page.

A Guy: A TV Tropes Made of Win Archive to whoever got the picture for Have a Gay Old Time, I just couldn't stop laughing.

Gemmifer: zeroplusalpha for: "Tear Jerker: All of great and ruinous loves, few are greater or more ruinous than great and ruinous kung fu love." (From the Wuxia entry.) So true.

Haven: I hope the Engrish wasn't part of the joke, because if so I just went and ruined it.

zeroplusalpha: It was part of the joke. But it's back in its original form now. I just went through the page history; it was a mistake, I must have been typing in a hurry, I don't normally write with that degree of inaccuracy. Your edit stands. Oh, and a big "thank you" to Gemmifer. ^_^

Deuxhero:Made of win to 92.2.5.204 for this bit in Natter I personally added the proceeding bits, but that definitlly surpased what I did.
 * This Troper likes waffles

Fixed that message! tennessean:

Don't believe his lies--this was already nominated for a TV Tropes Made of Win Archive! Haven:

Seconded. Scud East:

Fixed your message. Sceboal:

Genius. Designing a page in complete reverse order based around a movie going in complete reverse order? A win goes out to whomever designed the Memento page. Clendy82:

Radical Taoist: Props to Hanz for the clever "restart" button pothole in the Laconic entry to I Wanna Be The Guy. Reminds me of exactly what happen whenever I restarted in that game!

Insanity Prelude: I laughed out loud when I saw the name of Nice Job Breaking It, Herod. Who came up with that one?

Some Sort Of Troper: This says sgamer82.

Silent Hunter: One to all those who improved the Red Storm Rising entry.
 * Taeraresh: Seconded. Excellent summary of the book, and a well-done listing of tropes.

Dinru: Go to Describe Topic Here. Scroll down to the indexes. The top index... look to the right. Go ahead, I'll wait. B

Basically, the link on the index bar at the bottom says, linking to Memetic Mutation. "Yo dawg, we heard you like descriptions of topics, so we put an example in your example, so you can get a topic described to you while a topic is described to"

Made. Of. Win. Bitches.

Thatother1dude: Is the fact that that part is repeated part of the joke? Anyway, how the hell did you-- OK, now I see how that works.

Ry Senkari: To whoever made this brilliantly prescient comment about the current state of The Weather Channel (and everything I hate about it): "The worst thing about this is that most destructive weather occurs in the evening hours. Need to see if the damaging winds and storms are headed your way? Too bad! Watch this documentary on Peruvian mudslides instead!"

Rothul: Not that it isn't accurate to say that weather channels should focus on the current weather, and, as I'm no meteorologist I would find it a learning experience to be corrected, but shouldn't the various types of weather, destructive or otherwise, be spaced out relatively equally across all times of day, vis a vis, time zones? Or is it that weather in the evening is more destructive because darkness makes it harder to respond?

tennessean: Severe storms tend to happen in the afternoon and evening hours because the air, having absorbed more of the Sun's energy, is more energetic. The low sunlight of the evening hours, in conjunction with the massive amout of cloud cover, make it hard to spot oncoming disasterous weather (e.g., hail and tornadoes) unless you look when lightning is illuminating the area, and even then it's a (very dangerous) crapshoot.

Rothul: Thank you! Now I know! And Knowing Is Half the Battle!

tennessean: Thank you! And it helps that I made meteorology my major, as I'm fascinated by severe weather!

Niel Jacoby: To whoever put this in Running Gag: "I shink dat whoever wrote this exshample is one fiiine shpeshimen of human beer. Bing. Thinggy. Anywaysh, I shalute dem, and bid thee a fond adidas. Adiya. Byebye. * dies*"

Such a great response to the wall of egregiousness.

Schizo Technician: Shank you. You're too kingd. Reaally.

Harpie Siren: Too whoever wrote this exchange in Sweet and Sour Grapes:


 * But it shouldn't matter what he looks like. The prince (and everyone else in the castle) becoming human again is his reward.
 * EXACTLY. Oh my GOD, I am so glad somebody finally got that being restored to his true form is his reward, not hers.

Simply because it's refreshing to see someone not miss the point of that part of Beauty and The Beast so completly and have a kneejerk "Broken Aesop" reaction, as Tropers seem wont to do.

Vifetoile: Seconded.

Sparky Lurkdragon: Tsunde Ray wins forever for the Laconic Super Smash Bros. entry.

rsm109: TV Tropes Made of Win Archive to whoever potholed 1453 to Istanbul Not Constantinople on Flying Broomstick. My inner history geek (and not-so-inner Europa Universalis addict) takes his hat off to you.

Lady Jafaria: ...Even knowing the Ottomans didn't automatically rename Constantinople, that's still made of win.

Freiberg: A TV Tropes Made of Win Archive to Momonga for a lightbulb joke. How many tropers does it take to change a light bulb? Well, first they have to remove the lampshade...

User:Koveras: And another one from me, since it cracked me up. :D

G-Mon: A TV Tropes Made of Win Archive to thatother 1 dude for the Pot Holed Hot Skitty-On-Wailord Action on Noodle Implements.

Thatother 1 Dude: Thank you. Funnily enough, just yesterday I remembered writing that took a while to remember how.

Game Guru GG: TV Tropes Made of Win Archive for alliterator for 12 The Ballad Of Big Naming I'm not sure of the MOW rules for forum posts, but he deserves it!

Heart Burn Kid: A double-frosted MoW with sprinkles for the person who inserted the anti-Rickroll into The Jimmy Hart Version, on the Crono Trigger example.

Micah: That would be me. Thanks!

Kizor:A warm MoW to the people responsible for making the metaphors in Dying Like Animals work for its entire length. This may have to include Aesop the Greek.

Earnest: I can only take 1/22nd of the MOW point, but thanks! Check out the YKTTW and discussion if you want to get an idea of the effort that went into it. Personally, I like that bit in the Termites entry where they never notice the aardwolf coming.

Mr Death: TV Tropes Made of Win Archive to the unknown troper at 96.246.3.181 who added "When the oracle said that Belkar should savor his next birthday cake, shouldn't fund his IRA, and that he'll draw his last breath before the end of the year, he meant that Belkar will die." to the Order of the Stick WMG page. After all of the wishful thinking WMGs about convoluted ways Belkar would survive, it was very refreshing to see that. Thank you, troper, whoever you are.

~: I'm glad you enjoyed it. Although, if you look closely, though I may be unknown, I was indeed logged in.
Grimace: One very groany-worthy but perfectly placed MOW to Thande for his post on Discredited Meme, at the very end of the bit about no longer quoting Monty Python and The Holy Grail:


 * Does that mean the parroting has ceased to be?

Inkblot: ...

I hate you.

Niel Jacoby: And one Made Of Win The Game point to us all. Divide it however you like.

Nine: I'd like to propose a TV Tropes Made of Win Archive for whoever wrote this line in Thirty Xanatos Pileup: "Of course, it's quite easy to tell who's side Jack is on. He's on Jack's side."

User:Koveras: I'm probably not the first one to do so but I'd like to award a(nother?) MOW to the author of the poem parts of Be the Next William Shakespeare. I enjoyed them so much, I had to read them out loud to savor the sound. ^^

Night Sky: Seconded, plus I just noticed that the title quote is very nearly a sonnet! (And a Shakespearian sonnet at that.) Just a bit of tweaking, maybe... I'm not the poem's original author, but I might have a go later. Erm. If that sort of thing is okay with the poet...

Vifetoile: * beams* Yes, it is very okay. I am the author of the poetry (and most of the prose) on that page - most of it was done back when I was still an Unknown Troper. Thank you both so much, and feel free to tweak it to make it better. :) Thanks again!

Thnikkafan: Made of Win to whoever posted this on the God Mode Sue page.
 * The Power of Love does not excuse beating the shit out of a living tank with your bare hands.

Haven: From the Laconical List of Subtle Trope Distinctions: "Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner: "I'm gonna kick your ass."

Pre-Mortem One-Liner: "I'm kicking your ass."

Bond One-Liner: "I kicked your ass."

Quip to Black: "Looks like this man... got his ass kicked.""

Vifetoile: Seconded.

Deuxhero: I added the Quip To Black one (someone else wrote the other 3), so 1/4 MoW credit? edit:Checked, it seems it was in the orignal YKTTW by Jonny D (not in one of the replys, so I assume he wrote it)

Haven: Ahh, go ahead and take a full MoW =D

Sceboal: Sure, go ahead and take the full Mo W. Wait, let me rephrase that, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!

Freiberg: I definitely agree here. Take a full Made of win.

K.o.R: Made Of Win to whoever wrote the Bowdlerise page. I got a question right on University Challenge thanks to TV Tropes!

Silent Hunter: Thanks for that. I initially created it, but others added to it, so all the big people should get a MOW for that.

Deuxhero: Requires more info.

pagad: Made of Win to whoever re-wrote the Brian Blessed page.

Inkblot: Thanks, but I really recommend splitting the page like we did with The Toblerone: One normal page and one BRIAN BLESSIFIED. THE CONSTANT ALL CAPS make the page difficult to read.

Grimace: Good god. I mean, I concur with the MOW, but now I have Brian Blessed SHOUTING IN MY BRAIN. * ahem*

Haven: Made of Win to Mr. D for this little burst of nostalgia in Troper Tales: "solved a mystery... and rewrote history.... TROPER TALES! Wooooo-oooh!"

Andygal: A Win to the anonymous individual who edited the entry about Argus Hundred-Eye in Extra Eyes with the following "That's as many as ten tens, And That's Terrible" Got a snicker out of me thanks.

Dragon Quest Z: Win to Citizen for the Sugar Wiki picture (and some to inkblot for touching up the picture to be visible on darker monitors).

Inkblot: Sugar glowy pastel Vader &# 9829;

Joysweeper: Using the Hello Kitty Vader? Huh. You know, I heard it was photoshopped from an all-white Vader suit. Just felt like throwing out some trivia.

Garfman: I am surprised and delighted how quickly the Olympus Mons picture was changed to the appropriate VG Cats image.

Cliche: A TV Tropes Made of Win Archive to Dragon Quest Z for Not Making This Up Disclaimer, an excellent substitute for the original page that makes it actually trope-worthy. Kudos also to whoever rescued the fitting examples.

Dragon Quest Z: It just made sense that if some people in the show say the line then it was an actual trope. Now I know what it feels like to make a viable replacement card in Magic: The Gathering for a Game Breaker card.

Haven: I believe that analogy is worth a quarter of a win all on its own. (It was going to be half, but then it was nerfed.)

Inkblot: One for whoever wrote this suggestion in Troll:


 * Make Bella a Hard Gay Scary Black Man who rapes puppies for fun and manhandles Edward every night. Blame it on vampirefucker fuck-magic. Change her name to Kareemson. We could go on and on about the Canon Defilement possibilities for Twilight.

J Bridge: One Win to whoever came up with the current picture for Gorn. Five bucks says it's Matrix.

Dragon Quest Z: It was Maverick Hunter 4024, and the bastard stole my idea.

cg12345: I'd like to nominate whoever came up with the idea of the Trivia Trope category. It's a great compromise that gets rid of the overused running gag that I Am Not Making This Up degenerated into, and still allows us to preserve all the juicier bits from it.

thatother1dude: Are all of the old examples from I Am Not Making This Up supposed to be moved if there's a page for them?

cg12345: I'm not really sure, but all the Trivia pages I've looked at seem to be sections from the erstwhile IANMTU section with the Natter removed.

Haven: At least one isn't. spoiler:I always wanted a place to put the bit about Elan being an [[FF 6 cosplayer, but it wasn't exactly a trope, and it's exactly something someone would say IANMTU after. - Haven: One MoW to whoever came up with the caption in Lawyer-Friendly Cameo. "Ceci n'est pas un Copyright Infringement."

Curtmack: From Lucky Star Wild Mass Guessing, suggesting that Konata and Kagami are an official couple.:
 * They've got a Portmanteau Couple Name.
 * ...Konami?
 * We also refer to them as "Contra Code."

User:Koveras: I'm responsible for the first line, so I'll just snatch a third of that MOW. ;)

Master Hand: Who's responsible for turning the bottom half of the picture on the Candle Jack page black? Granted, it'd be funnier if it was white, bu

Inkblot: That was me. Oh, and thanks for the suggestion! I'll turn it white now.

Scud East: The joke was present in the original image, which fades out at the bottom.

Schrau: Yeah, I'm pretty sure the original pic looked like a image file that had got corrupted during download.

Game Guru GG: Did anyone give a TV Tropes Made of Win Archive for whoever wrote the picture caption to Face Palm? I imagined it sounding EXACTLY like in the HeadOn Commercial and it made me laugh out loud. No TV Tropes Made of Win Archive for that Kyon picture on that page, because it goofed up by using face instead of forehead.

Willy Four Eyes: Why, thank you. And I'm terribly sorry for making you think of that meme.

Game Guru GG: The commercials needs mocking and snarking. Yes, they do.

Andy Waltfeld: A very special thanks to Truec for helping me rediscover the little bundle of crass humor and dated Game FAQs memes we like to call RFU.

Truec: Well somebody had to do it. I'm just glad someone came in after me and rewrote the page so it didn't suck.

Thatother1dude: OK, I know I just did one, but I still have to say something about whoever came up with the title "Actual Pacifist".

tennessean: Although I didn't come up with that one, it reminded me that we need a "Badass Pacifist" page.

Madrugada: I think Actual Pacifist was Fedora Pirate's.

Thatother 1 Dude: two things from Warp That Aesop:
 * 1) ANY PROBLEM can be solved with LIBERAL APPLICATION OF CAPITAL LETTERS. (it's funnier if read what lead up to it)
 * 2) Darth Wiki Warp That Aesop page: It's okay to distort the truth and promote bad morality if it entertains you.

T-Jack: One to Korora for the last pothole in this example from Unwinnable:
 * Sierra Sierra Sierra Sierra Sierra SIERRA SIERRA SIERRA SIERRA ARARARRRGGGH!!!!!

Lurkerbunny: A Mo W to the unknown Troper who added the hilarious respose to this entry on the Lite Creme page:
 * In Canada, buying "maple butter" is definitely way better than buying "map-o-spread".
 * "Map-o-spread"? Are you sure that's a food and not a device for automatically unfolding and displaying maps?

If I hadn't just swallowed my drink seconds before reading that, I would have needed a new keyboard.

Sceboal: A Mo W to whoever made the laconic page for Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha.

A Mere Servant Of God: So, wait...Magcal Girl Lyrical Nanoha is all of television squeezed into one show?

prescience: @Sceboal: Thanks. Hooray, my first MoW!

@A Mere Servant Of God: I don't quite understand what you're saying...

User:Koveras to A Mere Servant Of God: Yup, Nanoha is just that awesome. Go watch it already. ;)

Redkun: A Mo W to the person who described Last Action Hero as "one of the few movies whose genre is accurately described as "Other".

Kizor: A thank-you to the presently unknown namer of Discard and Draw. There's no YKTTW, so it might be older than dirt. I still laughed.

Micah: I could have sworn I remembered reading a YKTTW for that page, but I can't find it. Maybe it was a rename discussion? - Sparky Lurkdragon: A long-overdue Mo W to whoever added "Ramirez. Ramirez. Ramirez." to Psycho Supporter. Makes me laugh to this day even though I love the guy, or possibly because I do.

Tapioca: A solid gold Mo W to 71.62.164.116 for this example of Michael Bay's Signature Style
 * When Michael Bay wakes up in the morning, he moves quickly to get out of his exploding bed, before eating his cereal and tossing out the exploding box. He drives to the studio, jumps out of his exploding car, and then speaks to some dangerous looking government agents, military troops, and disproportionately attractive computer experts, who all promptly explode. He then takes a gun that fires explosions and has a duel with Megan Fox, who also explodes, and then throws away the exploding gun. Finally, he finishes a hard day's work by riding into the sunset on a helicopter. Which then explodes.

L: Micah, for selling off those extra YKTTWs in time for the financial new year.

Micah: Thanks! I highly recommend this as a way of wasting potentially near-infinite amounts of time.


 * The sugar joke on Sanity Has Advantages. Heh.

Medinoc: One MOW to trouserwearingbarbarian, for the name Took a Level In Dumbass. I almost spat my panini byte out launghing.


 * I used that a long time ago on Tall, Dark and Snarky (blackadder example). It links to Took a Level In Badass because it predates the trope.

Fuse Nevis: I just want to thank everyone who made the Prototype page into what it is today, since it was the first page I created. So yeah, thanks guys!

Curtmack: To gkong3, for the last line in this exchange on Magic Skirt:
 * There were some comments about Yuki Nagato's fight against in Suzumiya Haruhi about how her acrobatics never actually led to any panty-flashes.
 * Likewise, Haruhi's dropkick of the Computer Club President with nary of glimpse of her panties also fits this trope.
 * Because of the nature of both girls (especially Yuki), this is more "Powered by Microsoft SQL" Skirt...

sgrunt: to thatother 1 dude for the picture on Incredibly Lame Pun.

Thatother1dude: Thank you. I myself would like to thank /co/ for the beyond cringe-inducing deluge of puns which warranted someone to post that pic.

Haven: One to Egak for the caption on Random Number God: The only people who should roll dice are those who are prepared to roll a 1. Supremely badass, funny, and shoutoutacular, and I'll have to use it the next time I game.

Donomni: Oh, wow, that's an awesome reference.

Egak: Thanks. I've been wondering if anyone had gotten the full scope of the joke, though.

Haven: Oh, nice!

Dinru: One to the people who Entry Pimp'd the page for You Have to Burn The Rope. Seriously that page is epic especially considering the game it's of. Another for whoever thought making the Darth Wiki page for Eversion.

Medinoc: Speaking of Eversion, I think we could make the Darth page even better by replacing the picture by a picture of the exact same location as the normal page, only in world X-7 or X-8.

Shay Guy: Except you can't everse that far on that level. So we'd have to cut and paste sprites and assemble it from scratch, unless Zaratustra lends a hand.

Sceboal: I believe that both of these have already been done.

Donomni: I already got MoW'd down for the Eversion bit, but thanks anyways!

L: You can make it so that you can evert anywhere you want by changing these lines in scripts/main.rb in Eversion's directory:

Secret coding skills
Replace this:

with this:

Shay Guy: Thanks. [[media:eversion1-7-cropped.png|Take]] your [[media:eversion1-8-cropped.png|pick]], then.

Medinoc: Thank you. I put the 1-7 pic, because I think the tiles are more recognizable.

Curtmack: To SAMAS, for the image caption on Playboy Bunny. I literally lol'd.


 * Yay me!

sgrunt: One for team Wiki Magic - especially L, Robin Zimm, and Unknown Troper 72.66.95.69 - for at least tripling almost quintupling the length of the list of Example as a Thesis in the two days that it's existed.

Dragon Quest Z: Yes, that's one from me too. I didn't think it would grow so fast when I ykttw'ed it. So I guess it was an index many tropers were just waiting for.

SAMAS: Related to the one below, to Unknown Troper 68.164.2.138 for puting Vindicated by History at the bottom of the article. It brought a tear to my eye.

Cliche: Many, many thanks to Sapphire Again for the modification of Michael Jackson's example in Fallen Creator. Even if it was in reaction to Alas, Poor Scrappy, changing the original's disdainful tone to a more fitting tragic tone does a great service to the man.

Mr Etaoin Shrdlu: The "little anecdote" on Fast Eddie's page was perhaps not quite the awesome-funny kind of stuff in most of these examples, but its conclusion is rather inspirational. Perhaps we could add a link to it on Welcome to TV Tropes.

Haven for adding the very last bit in the following description from Dangerously Genre Savvy (italics mine):


 * [Azula] has had occasional moments of genre-blindness, but learns from them. She initially had a Redshirt Army, but instead traded it for a Quirky Miniboss Squad after one screws up her plan, and after she tried to go after Aang alone, her next attempt was accompanied by her brother, an entire squad of secret police, and someone voiced by Clancy Brown.

Haven: Thanks! Never pays to underestimate dudes voiced by that guy, even Batman found that out the hard way.

Rothul: Of course, in the end, said dude voiced by Clancy Brown had the unfortunate luck to oppose Azula when she had someone voiced by Mark Hammill waiting in the wings.

Haven: Mm. And the good guys only escaped thanks to someone voiced by Mako.

Thatother1dude: The pic for Darker Than Black.

Willy Four Eyes: Anon at 68.81.139.76 gets a Win point for the picture in Ambiguously Gay.

whitetigah: One for Sceboal, for adding the final line in Moral Guardians.

Thatother 1 Dude: The "Hrair Xanatos Pileup" bit on the Watership Down article.

Shay Guy: Already done.

Medinoc: One for whoever renamed Xanatos Funeral. Very clever.

Inkki Bookman: And it kinda rhymes too.

Medinoc: Why do you think I said it was clever? ;-)

Thatother 1 Dude: From The Other Wiki, "In Greek mythology, Thánatos (in Greek, &# 920;&# 940;&# 957;&# 945;&# 964;&# 959;&# 962; - "Death") was the dæmon personification of Death"

Haven: And now, he has come for this joke.

I will treasure it.
Japanese Teeth: One for whoever added the picture to Counter Attack. It's the funniest thing I've seen all day.

alliterator: One for whoever added this hilarious example to Big Lipped Alligator Moment:
 * At the end of the Japanese version of Frankenstein Conquers the World (does anyone expect this sentence to end well?) the monster gets randomly attacked by a giant octopus wandering through the forest.
 * Is there an Mystery Science Theater 3000-version of this film that I can watch?

Inkblot: One for all the preps who Wiki Magic'd the My Immortal page.

Inkki Bookman: Just the picture itself deserves a Win.

Drac Monster: I grabbed it it from the encyclopedia dramatica entry on it, don't know who made it.

Haven: One to vifetoile for "Trope-tan and the Start of Darkness". This should totally be canon. Especially Wikimedea. And the use of TWoP-kun.

Vifetoile: * Does a happy dance* Thank you very much! (I didn't invent Wikimedea, but I kind of wish I did.) (Between TWoP-kun and Wikipe-tan, Trope-Tan is going to be very busy...) While I'm here, I'd like to start a round of applause for sgrunt, who tirelessly fixed all the pot holes that were in the original entry. * bows* Thanks, sgrunt, and thank you, Haven. :)

sgrunt: Hooray! I did something appreciated!

User:Koveras: And I invented Wikimedea. Do I get a fraction of MOW, too? ^^;

Jack Butler: To Michael, for Made From Real Girl Scouts.

Michael: Thanks. And thanks to Wednesday for such a potent title that I had to suggest it.

That Other 1 Dude: Whoever wrote the Michael McConnohie article.

Sceboal: A Made of Win to everyone who tried to comfort other people in the Troper Tales page of Awful Truth. While to me it seems like they're not really doing a good job at it, the fact that they try is just heart warming.

Zeke: One to Chariset for "Record Of Loudness War", the trope name I most wish I'd thought of. Painfully clever.
 * Thankee, kind sir. It just goes to show that the best puns are the ones you throw out without really thinking about them.

Antheia: A point to whoever subtly made The Mockbuster a Self-Demonstrating Article (sort of).

Sagaril: Ohoho! I see what they did there! Clever. Very much seconded.

sgrunt: Thirded - subtle and clever all in one.

Silent Hunter: Fourthed. Especially the last line of the intro.

Dragon Quest Z: That was a joint effort by many of us, but I take credit for the last lines, to make the fit with the other blue links.

Freezair For A Limited Time: I threw in a couple when I rewrote it, and edited a couple others so they sounded more "natural." So I guess that's, what, a tenth of a point?

Haven: One point to whoever's responsible for the Booby Trap example in Order of the Stick.

Src9: Points to herczy for this: Unresolved Sexual Tension:
 * Neon Genesis Evangelion is chock full of this. Of course, it doesn't really go anywhere.
 * Like School Rumble.
 * This is even... ehm... handwaved at the beginning of End Of Evangelion, If You Know What I Mean.

Medinoc: Wow. Seconded, so much.

Shay Guy: alchixinren for observing that the Chinese Language has Loads and Loads of Characters.

Cukeman: Oh, that's terrible!

Haven: Terribly awesome morelike.

Freezair For A Limited Time: Ahahahaha.

Sceboal: Italics.

Antheia: Don't forget Alternate Character Reading. I don't know if I should groan or giggle.

Mr Etaoin Shrdlu: I nominate whoever removed my little "addition" to the stinger on Crowning Moment / Real Life. Even though I put it there. Some kind of wordless meta-Shut UP, Hannibal. - User:Koveras: I don't think TV Tropes the Webcomic has been awarded a MOW yet, so here's one to all contributors (excluding yours truly) at once. I totally love the comic.

Inkblot: I don't get it. Webcomics are normally more common than $20 hookers. Why hasn't anyone drawn a single strip?

Malchus @Koveras - Actually, I think it already has. IIRC, I found out about it thanks to a MOW. @Inkblot - I actually was thinking of making pseudo-cover art for use as the page image.

Shay Guy: This is the first I've heard of it.

User:Koveras: @Malchus: I've looked through the MOW archives first and only found several MOWs for TV Tropes TV and one for TV Tropes RPG... Maybe you found one of these and discovered the Webcomic via the links?

Malchus: Hm, I guess I confused one of those for it, then. Huh, Now I wonder how I did stumble across it. On another note, since this really seems to be TV Tropes the Webcomic's first MOW after all, I heartily second it. - Scud East: Just when I thought our beloved Wiki couldn't get any geekier, the translation project moves on to include Quenya. Micah receives a MoW as the responsible party.

Dragon Quest Z: Damn. When I first suggested translated pages I didn't think it would go this far. Cool.

The Jackal: And don't forget the Al Bhed Home Page. Made me laugh.

Rothul: The Al Bhed translation was me, but the MOW point goes to Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, where I got the idea from.

User:Koveras: I wonder when the Klingon translation is gonna appear...

Micah Thanks! Anyone who knows anything about Quenya really should come nitpick my grammar; I'm not actually all that fluent.

L: If this continues any further, we're soon going to get Morse Code, ROT13, MD5, Beatboxing and Poetry translations of pages.

Rothul: Not to mention Newspeak, Pig Latin, Ubbi Dubbi, Simple English and Glossolalia.

alliterator: I'm sorry. You made me do it. I just couldn't resist.

Radical Taoist: No, you couldn't. That deserves a MOW of its own right there, alliterator.

Thnikkafan: It had to be done. (Personally, I think it turned out to be more of a Totally Radical version of L 33 t Sp 3 ak, with a bit of Funetik Aksent thrown in)

Negative Zero: Points to whoever made the laconic for Shin Megami Tensei redirect to Nintendo Hard.

L: But... that's not a very laconic page!

Medinoc: Fixed it.

Deux Hero: That would be me.

The Jackal: One for adam850 for his post in this thread. It's about the 12th one down.

Shay Guy: You can link to 37 individual posts. Just click the timestamp.

The Jackal: Didn't know that. Thanks for telling me.

Adam 850: Thanks. I wasn't sure if anyone thought that was funny.

Rhainor: One MoW to whoever wrote this in The Big O's trope listings: "Kudzu Plot: High it's like a friggin' katamari ball went through an Epileptic Tree orchard."

Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: A point to Artman40 for this entry in Horrible/Music. The links to YouTube have a certain style...
 * Pirated video games are very keen of horrible video game music.

Sceboal: Huh?

Nlpnt: Rothul gets an MoW for the Other Wiki reference on Vagina Dentata.

Rothul: I merely put it back in after someone removed it without comment (as I too found it win worthy): Near as I can tell, Red Shoe should get credit for making the joke, and L for selling it with the faux-wikipedia formatting.

Nlpnt: You can tell I don't like to check back to that page often....

Haven: One to Master Hand for the Laconic entry on Beige Prose.

Reading Champion: A Made of Win to all who helped mutate the Chekov's Gun page. It used to be a simple Re-direction joke with three lines and a picture. But now... damn.

Haven: Eh, I preferred it when it was "Ensign Chekov had a gun on Star Trek." and "Averted on Buffy" (which I added, though I took a MOW for it a while ago), but YMMV.

J Bridge: One to Radical Taoist for the ending line in the Troper Tales page for The Power of Rock. "Our captain informs me that the band has hit a little turbulence and we will be experiencing some mad shredding shortly. Please fasten your seatbelts and throw the horns into their fully upright and rocked position."

Grimace: Ohh that's good.

Schrau: I so agree.

Radical Taoist: \m/n(>_<)n\m/

Freezair For A Limited Time: Excellent! * Bill & Shred*

Black Humor: To whoever added "Rape And Zoidberg" to Tropes That Will Never Happen, for making me actually laugh out loud.

Inkblot: Er, thanks.

Pinkbaron: And another one to whomever put "Heartwarming Moment of Rape" on the same page.

Grev: Isn't that how Luke and Laura were Retconned on General Hospital? :)

Dragon Quest Z: To Some Sort Of Troper, for pithy, but oh so accurate, picture and caption for Merchandise-Driven.

Some Sort Of Troper: Thank you. I guess we still have to see if it lasts but one utterance of "awesome" is worth more to me than a dozen "ok"s.

Malchus: While I'm sad it replaces my pic, I do agree that that's a much better pic. Seconded.

Dragon Quest Z: There likely is a trope that picture fits. It's just not a proper example of that trope.

That Other 1 Dude: How about ?

Malchus: @Dragon Quest Z - Yeah, I knew it just barely fit the trope. I'm actually surprised it hung on for that long. And if no one has any objections, I may just take That Other 1 Dude's suggestion.

Furiko Maru: To Silent Hunter, for the caption on the East Germany article's pic. Good on ja.

Silent Hunter: Viele danke.

Dante 668: To the genius responsible for using the phrase "getting groiny" to refer to the horndog camp counselors of Friday the 13th in Death by Sex. That is now my favorite euphemism for sex.

Robert Bingham: That would be me. The phrase in question came from Angel, in reference to how Buffy and Angel ~Can't Have Sex, Ever~: "Cordelia: Let me explain the lore here, okay? They suffer, they fight. That's business as usual. They get groiny with each other, the world as we know it falls apart."

Moogi: From Twenty Bear Asses:

The Bible. King Saul: "Sure, David, you can marry my daughter, just bring me a hundred Philistine foreskins." Worst. Quest. Ever. At least the drop rate is 100%...


 * David apparently got caught up in the "farming" and brought in two hundred, by the way. Thus proving that Level Grinding and Collection Sidequest (not to mention Bragging Rights Reward!) is indeed Older Than Dirt.

Whoever wrote this deserves a nomination.

Medinoc: IIRC, it has already been nominated.

Kerrah: Charles Phipps for finally making the Warcraft Expanded Universe and several works within that 'verse their own pages. I salute you!

Enlong: Ronfar, for potholing Troperiffic under "Quite a lot, isn't there?" about halfway down the list of tropes in Adventurers.

Shay Guy: The Sailor Moon page had that joke first.

Magus: Made of Win to Psychopomp for inventing the Belt of Bear Blasting.

Amadeus Windfall: No idea who this is actually going to, but whoever copied out Hakase's massive (384 words) speech into What Is This Thing You Call Love?, just to demonstrate one example, deserves a TV Tropes Made of Win Archive for their effort.

Arilou: I don't know who did it, and it's really more to the original inventor, but whoever added "Narutonystark" to Portmanteau Couple Name made me laugh out loud.

Thatother 1 Dude: I believe that originated in Crack Pairing.

Curtmack: To Unknown Troper 71.54.112.245, for this entirely accurate categorization of the Teen Titans into a Five-Man Band: "The Hero: Robin.

The Lancer: Cyborg

The Smart Guy: Raven

The Big Guy: Starfire

The Chick: Beast Boy"

Silent Hunter: Dangermike for adding "Guaranteed, or your pizza's free" to the caption for NCIS.

Andy Waltfeld: Game Over, man, Game Over. Point to Doug S. Machina for Laconic Metal Wolf Chaos.

Doug S. Machina: Thank you!

Medinoc: One to Sparkysharps for the picture in Older Than They Think.

Shay Guy: Seconded for great justice!

Malchus: A MOW to Smerf for the pic and potholed caption in Dirty Communists. It made me laugh.

Maso Tey: Seconded. Took me stupid long to rollover and get it, but -- bwahahahaha!

Smerf: Yes, my first MOW! I'd like to thank the Academy...

Dr Namgge: one TV Tropes Made of Win Archive point to Captain Crowbar for the caption and Pothole in Do Not Touch the Funnel Cloud.

The Toon Geekette: An accidentally-earned MoW mention goes to 70.153.95.56, for an awesome formatting error they made on the That Guy With The Glasses page. This person added  to the spoilered part of Chester's quote on the page. However he/she/it typed it up so that it led to a non-existant page for.

Show of hands, who else wants to see a movie like that made? (Admittedly, I fixed it, but still...)

Freezair For A Limited Time: I say we call Hollywood right this second.

Shay Guy: What's Hollywood's phone number?

Donomni: 555-867-5309.

The Toon Geekette: It's not working! All I'm getting is this really annoyed woman named Jenny...

Sceboal: A made of win to Donomni for taking my joke right out of my mind.

A story about Batman told in flashbacks about different people that met him... I think I read that Comic.

Idler: Thinking about it, Kane and Batman aren't that different. They're both filthy rich but deeply, deeply unhappy, desperately clinging onto childhood memories for their whole adult lives. Citizen Wayne, anyone?

Houdini: Unknown Troper in Brainwashed By Emotions YKTTW. "You mean Flaw Exploitation? That would be a great name for a trope."

Felius: 98.122.150.57 for adding the link under "distant past" at 22/May in the Magikarp Power page:
 * That is somewhat justified by some of its Pokedex entries, which claim that Magikarp used to be much stronger in the distant past.

Fusion Dragon: A MOW to Haseri for finally making a page for Galactic Civilizations.

Fanra: Eric DVH for the trope name for Make My Index Live.

Rothul: Inkblot for the "Hey, that's pretty clever!" picture and caption on Bury Your Gays.

Inkblot: The caption was there first. I just added the picture.

Magus: Made Of Win to Dryuu and Mauyn Eign for separating and fully fleshing out the Mana Khemia page.

Smerf: A MOW to whoever it was that put Ken Akamatsu's deepest desire on Author Appeal. Also, a Crowning Moment of Funny, in my opinion.

Japanese Teeth: Seconded. I'm not even into BDSM and I wouldn't mind that happening to me.

SAMAS: Sparkysharps for the picture for Perverse Sexual Lust.

Doug S. Machina: Micah, on the page for 24:

This page takes place between 1.00 AM and 2.00 AM.

It's 1:55am at the time of writing.

Micah: Thanks, but that wasn't me. It looks like it was Some Sort Of Troper.

Some Sort Of Troper: Yes that was me. As always it seems like the thing that I'm sure ig going to be edited away ends up getting the best praise.

Katsuhagi: To Schizo Technician for the line in Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle under Mind Screw for hitting the nail on the head in a hilarious manner:
 * Not only that. After the, the entire plot goes to hell. Or heaven. Or perhaps a small rural suburb of Detroit; things are so convoluted, nonsensical, mysterious, and confusing that you can't tell.

Schizo Technician: Thank you, my pleasure, I think. It may be consternation, perhaps constipation, and confusion is a distinct possibility. But thanks are definitely involved. The first sentence about the plot going to hell wasn't me, but I decided that no way was the destination that clear in this situation, so I obfuscated things a bit.

Outsyder 0486: I'd like to thank all of you at TV Tropes Wiki for introducing me to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Epic.

Shay Guy: We are glad to have served.

Syckls: I would also like to thank the TV Tropes wiki for introducing me to Monster, Higurashi, and Now and Then, Here and There.

Thnikkafan: I'd like to thank you guys for introducing me to Discworld and Good Omens.

Vifetoile: :D Hey, Tv Tropes Will Enhance Your Life. It's sure enhanced mine * cough* Sailor Nothing, Order of the Stick, Girl Genius, * cough* Yep, life enhanced.

Cliche: Very ridiculously intelligent and true words spoken by an unknown troper or tropers of IP addresses 201.24.15.68 and 201.24.52.144 on a common fallacy concerning who takes credit for inventions on the Critical Research Failure pages:


 * And the fact that it would hardly change history save for the fact that the US wouldn't be able to call dibs on the invention of heavier-than-air machines after its invention was already well-known around the world by ANOTHER inventor, because the Wright Brothers didn't even bother to have proof or to make public their invention in case, you know, one of the numerous inventors who were as close as them actually make it in the meanwhile? Not two years after the Flyer's first successful test, Brazilian inventor Santos Dumont flew his 14-bis in Paris, winning an international contest about inventing flying machines and being considered the inventor of the airplane for years before the US just decided that it should be the Wright Brothers, even though they took too long to register their invention... Basically, the Flyer was mostly a non-issue regarding the earlier months of flight technology advancements world-wide because the rest of the world just didn't know it even existed.


 * Not to mention that it goes in hands with the Flyer's example. American writers often ignore the fact that some inventions attributed to Americans not only were already being researched world-wide somewhere, but sometimes they were already discovered somewhere. Before the USA this is true for Europe, as most people today probably believe Gunpowder was invented in the late Middle Ages there, when it was invented much earlier in China. This comes from the false assumption that those discoveries were magically assembled in those inventors mind, like it happens in the Science of fiction (not to be confused with Science-Fiction) instead of being the fruit of the labor and research of dozens of scientists in various experiments with more or less relation and communication in between that eventually lead to those "leaps". Believing that Edison invented Electricity out of the blue is like believing Einstein theories of Nuclear Fission came to him without the efforts of Rutherford and other scientists in the discoveries about the Atom before him... or, for a simpler analogy, that the Car was invented without someone needing to invent the Wheel before it.

Shay Guy: Incidentally, I recently finished reading Guns, Germs, and Steel, which touches on this -- scientific and technological development happens in increments. People are wired to think in terms of individual players or characters, but the really important thing is that the conditions for the development and spread of ideas and technologies are right. The big example was food production, which didn't just happen out of the blue; it evolved in increments, and the local plant and animal species had to be right.

Rissa: This troper's heard the phenomenon described as "steam engine time" - that is, the time at which conditions are right for the steam engine (or flight, or the lightbulb) to be invented, because all the prerequisites have been met.

Shay Guy: I'd love to see a Tech Tree for that.

St Clair: I've heard the same phrase, and sometimes compared it to the saying that "when the student is ready, the master will appear."

Haven: This bit under Code Geass' entry in Lying Creator.


 * It did, however, helpfully inform us in her official character bio that Monica's uniform is designed in such a way that it appears as if she's not wearing panties. All Hail Britannia!!

Redkun: I added that line. The real TV Tropes Made of Win Archive belongs to the person who wrote the character biography in the first place.

Cambdoranononononono: Perhaps it's a tad mean-spirited, but whoever changed the link to Troper Tales on the Magnificent Bastard page has amused me on somewhere around three levels.

That Other 1 Dude: I'm sorry, who did what?

Rissa: It very briefly linked to Blatant Lies instead. (And having read the page, I second the win.)

Grimace: That was me (for some reason my name hasn't been appearing in the Page History in recent times?). Yes admittedly it was petty, and small, and Fast Eddie (quite rightly) changed it back after a day or so. But damn it felt good. I'm glad it put a similar smile on other peoples faces.

Dr Furball: Thumbs up to whoever slipped in The Beatles reference into the beginning of No Ending.

Doug S. Machina: Whoever's writing The Advertisement Server's woman troubles on the Ad of Win page. I suppose life was much simpler in the pre-sentient days.

Inkblot: * quietly runs off with .2 points for introducing ELIZA*

Rothul: Its been a group effort, but the unsung hero is at 69.133.92.182.

Moocow 1452: Dammit. Guess I should [[media:photo.jpg|log in more.]] Do I get a full Mo W point, or .8, or some other fraction, or does Unknown Troper take this one?

Rothul: Take the full point and treasure it. I think this wiki is the ultimate expression that someone else being clever never takes away from your own cleverness.

Moocow 1452: DA NA NA NAAAAAAA!

Houdini: Claiming credit too, nyah. Wrote the original bit about TAS's status... then realized I stole a line from Portal... which drug GLaDOS into it... and then the inspiration for the OTP was born...

Flabyo: Tacitus for the trope name Scry vs. Scry. Utter genius.

Dookie 2: Scooter 007 for making the Billy Mays page. Only on TV Tropes will he have such an article.

Grev: Except for maybe The Other Wiki, but then, that one's so official and not full of HIGH-VOLUME SHILLS FOR BLAND NAME PRODUCTS!

rsm109: Whoever's responsible for this pothole in One Degree of Separation: "However, on your wedding day, when you meet her father, you remember that he's the guy who failed you in biology in the twelfth grade."

Rhainor: So very seconded.

Katsuhagi: The title Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?, makes me giggle at the mental image of someone sitting there with a 0.0 look holding a teacup across the table from you-know-who.

Malchus: I also second the MOW for this line in the trope description:


 * But to make things easier: they usually prefer two cubes of sugar, and a drop of virgin blood for creamer (although it is important to note that it is usual to put the blood in last, as opposed to first as one would do with milk).

Haven: The bit about etiquette was my contribution (Reg Shoe added in that parenthetical part).

Medinoc: To Orihime for using Nodoka's mental picture in OT 3.
 * Orihime: Heee, thanks! :D

Curtmack: A made of win to all involved in this exchange on Kissing Cousins (particularly the last line):
 * Charles Darwin married his cousin. Think about that for a minute.
 * I see your Charles Darwin and raise you Albert Einstein. To be fair, neither was of child-bearing age at the time.
 * Maybe rather unsurprising, Edgar Allan Poe married his 13-year-old cousin.
 * tl;dr Smart people marry their cousins.

Haven: Heh. Too bad it's in descending order of irony.

Edrobot: A good example of how to open up a page from the Man Child article. "When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me."

- 1st Corinthians, 13:11

Good for you, Paul.

UT: Are you giving Paul the Apostle a win? I'm not sure that's protocol.

Cukeman: No, that's part of the article, and he's giving the MOW to whomever wrote that.

Fubar: ""When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - C.S. Lewis"

J Bridge: Here's one to Praetyre for his comment in this thread on the fora. First, chick the previous link and read the first post. Watch the video too. Next, read the spoilered text below.

JK Roo: Seconded. Dear God, seconded. And I read the spoiler then checked the video first. The above deities and near-deities do not seem sufficient.

L: Everyone on the English portion of the 'net is going on and on about how wacky that game is. Sooner or later someone's going to go "That game's not so wacky" and then the universe will cease to exist.

Syckls: Unfortunately, the fact that he said Candle Jack without cutting off the post completely ruins it for

Muninn: He must have survived because Candle J* ck was too bewildered by the video to abduct him.

That Other 1 Dude: Agree, but was is "the Turtle"? Does it have something to do with Discworld?

Geoduck: Either that, or it's a Stephen King reference.

William Wide Web: One to Haven for the line at the end of Black Hole Sue.

Haven: Thankya!

Silent Hunter: Nice to know that someone else listened to the B-side to the "Casino Royale" single...

Falcon Pain: The original Soundgarden version has been around for well over a decade, you know. "Weird Al" Yankovic polkaed it and everything. Not to mention Rock Band...

Silent Hunter: Wow, you learn something new every day...

William Wide Web: Actually, it's been fifteen years. And despite having downloaded Superunknown(the album Black Hole Sun comes from) off of Ruckus back when Ruckus still existed, I haven't actually heard the "Casino Royale" song at all.

Freezair For A Limited Time: One exceedingly nerdy MOW to whomever changed the "damage number" in the fake battle of Olympus Mons from the generic to "65535." I just now realized what that number was, and laughed myself sick.

ninjacrat: More generically, it's the highest number that can be represented by a an unsigned 16 bit integer, so it turns up in videogames a lot.

Freezer: It's also the number of floors in Mine # 4 in both versions of Harvest Moon DS.

L: If we would dare to include even more comp-sci fanservice, we would have the NIBBLE attack do 15 damage, because that's the highest number that can be represented by a nibble.

Dragon Quest Z: To Alliterator for proving you can make a page for Nerf Brand toys.

Joysweeper: Whoever put that picture up in Didn't See That Coming, with the caption about the spanner.. I laugh every time I see it.

Silent Hunter: Aquillion and Gentlemens Dame 883 for their improvements to Armed Blag.

Deuxhero:One to 86.46.110.183 for the picture at Lethal Joke Character, perfect demonstration of the concept.

Shoebox: And also, freakin' hilarious in and of itself.

That Other 1 Dude: I saw that /co/ a bunch of times before. Yes, very funny, especially in context.

Freezair For A Limited Time: Is there anything that isn't a job for Aquaman any more?

Donomni: I'd say space, but that's an ocean too.

Haven: Canning tuna?

Rothul: Pattycake.

Kalle: To whoever created the "DarthWiki/Genshiken" redirect to the Welcome to The NHK page, step up and claim your prize!

Radical Taoist: Seconded. I said I'd Mo W someone who pulled it off, and I stand by what I said.

Citizen: It was Magus. Haha.

Sneebs: Deceased Wager Group gives us this beautiful little gem regarding the Major as the Ms Fanservice in Ghost In The Shell: So tasteless, yet so witty. I actually laughed out loud.
 * The Major in Ghost In The Shell.
 * Try to not let it distract you from her incoming fist.
 * HER FIST? Worry about your own fist first.

Egak: I don't think that last line means what you think it means. I mean, it doesn't mean what I think you think it means, but it would be mean to think you think it means what I think you think it means, if you think it means what it means, get my meaning?

...Wait, let me try that again. The last line is a reference to the Major's ability to hack into cyborgs into attacking themselves Fight Club style, as opposed to anything "tasteless".

Dante 668: to Frank 75, for this parenthetical on the Techno Babble page:
 * This would translate to "It's not carbon, it is ironish, and it kills people." Plus it's at least partly antimatter, even if the positrons are "inconsequent". (At least they're not incontinent; it's so annoying when your sole resource leaves little puddles of antimatter pee everywhere.)

I laughed for a full minute.

Looney Toons: Actually, I wrote the the parenthetical remark about antimatter pee, and maybe a bit more of that; I can't remember now. So, I'll sneak off and increment my MOW count.

A Freddy: I would like to nominate Malchus for a TV Tropes Made of Win Archive for his picture in Red Scare. Something about the pseudo-Cyrillic made me LOL.
 * Fanra: I agree, great picture.

Nausicaa: A TV Tropes Made of Win Archive for whoever wrote this in Oireland.


 * Irish step dancing [...] inexplicably referred to as "Riverdance" even though that is the title of ONE Irish dancing stage show that started in 1994. That's like referring to all anime as Yu-Gi-Oh.

Whoever you are, THANK YOU.

K.o.R: A MoW to spiritsunami, for beating me to the redirect that was a most Egregious omission.

Haven: IMO, it's just not the same if they don't see that the pothole reads "All the Tropes Wiki Drinking Game" when they mouse-over it.

K.o.R: True, but then, how many grey hairs would Fast Eddie gain if we made him make a "automatically pothole egregious in every page ever" script?

Haven: I dunno, if the pictures he's put up are even remotely true to life he's clearly pretty resistant to grey hairs.

K.o.R: We're not trying hard enough then :)

Donomni: Whoever added this little Mega Man Legends-based gem to Stop Helping Me!:


 * And then there's Data, the 'helpful' little cyborg monkey who can't be killed. Ever. You can unload the ultimate weapon in his face and he just.. keeps.. dancing. In fact, at the end, he turns up planetside after everyone else has gotten trapped on Elysium, despite being up there with you at the end. It's somewhat satisfying to imagine the others trusted to his invincibility when they sent him back down, assumedly by punting him off Elysium and letting him deal with re-entry and the inevitable high-speed landing on his own.

I don't even dislike Data, but the fact I know he hates fire makes this all the funnier.

Caswin: A nod to Some Sort Of Troper, for his creepily well-written additions to Candle Jack.

Candle Jack: Well, I need the publicity...

Grev: Thassh two sshickssh-packssh down...

Paul A: It's generally considered that (since it might have happened after they finished typing and nobody would know) it doesn't count when "Candle Jack" occurs at the very end of the

Some Sort Of Troper: Oh wow, somebody finally noticed this on this page. Although this is actually a tie in to something else I did on one other page first. .

Spiri Tsunami: L Guardinal gets the win for this self-demonstrating bit on Purple Prose:
 * It is to this recorder of tropes' great and heart-rending dismay that much amateur fiction based in the universes of other writers is plagued by this. Even otherwise good stories are brought down to the level of others with the insistence of throwing in little bits of violet verbiage ('eyes' as 'orbs', for one small example).

Meems: One to adam_grif for this line in the All Drummers Are Animals YKTTW: "This trope is Truth In Television, since humans are animals."

Chris X: Silver Monkey Blue Rose and Killer Clowns really deserve props for turning the quote of crazy Aerith in the Beware the Nice Ones into the legendary My Name Is Inigo Montoya quote. Just too bad we can't continue with Aerith saying "I want my life back, you son of a bitch."

Houdini:... You mean son of a bish.
 * Nits: Well, if you like the Mad Scientist types...

Freezer: Belated MOW to whoever sorted the massive wall of text that was Harry Potter's Just Bugs Me page.

Real Slim Shadowen: Seconded. That was Disassembly Of Reason, who's incredibly awesome and has obviously had hundreds of girlfriends. * does the Who's Awesome? You're Awesome! sign for DOR*

Fenrir: For Sabre Justice, who managed to capture the twisted nature of MadWorld in what is possibly the greatest Wild Mass Guess of all time.

Radical Taoist: I am not a fan of Lolicon. That is why it was all the more impressive how the following lines on A Child Shall Lead Them, be them unashamed display or just well-placed snark, managed to make me laugh out loud. Kudos to Unknown Jestersage 206.116.3.64 for the second-to-last line and 207.236.70.99 for the ending. They neatly summarize the Code Geass entry for that trope after mentioning Tiangzi, Sumeragi Kaguya, and Nunnaly vi Brittania.


 * In short, the world's powers are in the hand of three lolis.
 * You say that like it's a bad thing.

Gemmifer: Fawriel for the extreme in:
 * In Spirited Away, Chihiro and the boy formerly known as Haku perform a Headbutt of Love during freefall.
 * EXTREEEME!!!

Kizor: To the author of Money Spider's description. It is insightful and actually makes us seem like we know what we're on about.

Rothul: Earnest, for the subverted-but-completely-appropriate picture on Raised by Natives. And the caption's funny too.

Earnest: Thank you! And here I was, worried it was a bit corny ^_^;

Thnikkafan: Whoever came up with this from Gender Restricted Ability:


 * Amusingly averted in Norse Mythology. A majority of witches are female, but only because their magic relies on contact with another person's semen.
 * Gay porn writers might want to start doing Norse mythology movies.
 * So you want to add a Cargo Ship, too?

Polly Nim: The last line's mine. Got to love unentendres.

Fish Called Waldo: One to lucky Thirteen to Donomni for intros to a few Fan Fic Recommendations pages. I've been wanting these forever, and they're actually funny and make the openings pop. That is all.

Donomni: I'm still surprised noone else has taken the time to actually make new intros. Granted, it's probably been a few months since I made the Naruto into.

Japanese Teeth: One to whoever is responsible for the picture and caption on Greek Chorus.

Silent Hunter: Yep, good one indeed.

User:Koveras: And another MOW to the person responsible from me. :D

GG Crono: I added the picture. Someone else provided the caption. I'd say that the someone else deserves most of the credit, and I salute them. :)

Dangermike: Thank yew, thank yew. I had actually added it when that pic was on the Statler and Waldorf page.

The Bad Wolf: One to Haven for the picture on Post-Modern Magik

Haven: Thanks :D

User:Koveras: A (single) TV Tropes Made of Win Archive to all contributors to Tropes That Will Never Happen, now that it got launched!

Malchus: It got launched? Sweet! Although, I'm kinda disappointed one of my suggestions, Blessed With Fuck, isn't one of the examples. Too profane?

Troper Too Lazy To Become Noted: It's more likely because we already have that one.

Medinoc: Actually, to me it sounded more like The Pornomancer.

Haven: A TV Tropes Made of Win Archive to whoever came up with describing Mage: The Ascension as "A Storytelling Game of Philosophical Knife-Fights." (And, if they're different people, one to whoever made the page, because: yaaay.)

Curtmack: I searched the entire archive, and I'm honestly shocked that no one's given one to Polly Nim for the image caption on Utsuge. So, one TV Tropes Made of Win Archive for the most wholly inappropriate yet hilarious caption on the entire wiki.

Polly Nim: Thanks. Glad someone liked it before it got cut.

Kalle: I hereby award a delicious MOW point to Planet Cool for the intro to the Important Things with Demetri Martin page. It just works so well!

Black Charizard: I don't know if it has been nominated before since it was written last year, but I read Call to Adventure and I laughed out loud. Hilarious rewrite, The Grim Sleeper.

Doug S Machina: I think it's been praised before, but still regarding The Divinyl's "I Touch Myself" on Intercourse with You:


 * Incidentally, the band insists "Touch Myself" is not about masturbation, but touching other parts of yourself in a loving way. If anyone believes that, please raise your hand...
 * Can't. It's busy.

Unless I've messed reading the page history as usual, an MoW to Mary Shrieks for that.

Also, one to someone for the English translation button being an English flag (as opposed to a UK or US one). That's pretty neat.

Kriegsmesser: A M o W to The_Void for a suggestion in Tropes That Will Never Happen's YKTTW. Specifically, "Did You Just Suck Off Cthulhu". It's some kind of fuel, I just don't know Which.

Haven: Good thing I wasn't drinking anything when I read that.

ROBRAM 89: That has to be a good name for some kind of hentai trope. Too bad we already have Naughty Tentacles.

Dragon Quest Z: This is more giving the tentacles pleasure, rather than the tentacles having their way (just would have some overlap).
 * EDIT: Actually, this doesn't have to be tentacles. It could be any time someone does it with an Eldritch Abomination.

Mr Death: Tentacle Rape Is Love?

Sceboal: Perhaps some sort of Nightmare Fetishist thing?

Schizo Technician: One to Rothul for giving voice to the adbot on this page.

Rothul: Thank you! And, of course, it's anyone's voice to use.

The Advertisement Server: FOR A NOMINAL FEE, OF COURSE. I TAKE CASH, CHECKS, IMMORTAL SOULS, PAYPAL-AFFILIATED CREDIT CARDS, AND MOST FORMS OF Global Currency.

Landstander: Don't know how old this is or who made it, but this from Nostalgia Filter just made me all happy and hopeful inside. I can be prone to the filter myself at times but this is always important to keep in mind-


 * Many articles appear in newspapers bemoaning the low quality of modern movies, e.g. Meet The Spartans, in comparison to the Hollywood Golden Age ... ignoring that in the 2060s, when people talk about the movies of the 2000s, they'll be talking about Memento, The Lord Of The Rings, City Of God, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Spirited Away, Pans Labyrinth, Downfall, Gladiator, Oldboy, Kill Bill and Amores Perros, while the likes of I Know Who Killed Me will be forgotten forever.

Vifetoile: I didn't make that, but I second the nomination. That's a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.

L: ...Gladiator?

Vifetoile: It's the sentiment that counts. I don't know why Mongol isn't on that list, but if we were to set to work amending it to our own visions, we would be there forever.

Landstander: Exactly, it makes me reflect on all the movies of sheer awesome from this decade that I love like Hedwig and The Angry Inch, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, I'mNotThere, Persepolis, A/I/,Vicki Christina Barcelona, and many, MANY others, and then I get all happy.

Dragon Quest Z: To Galahad PC for this reason "The Touch" wasn't in the 2007 Transformers film"
 * Safely channeling that much awesome was hard enough to do the first time around. If they'd done it for the climax of the 2007 movie, theaters across the nation would have burst into flames.

Mr Death: Another one to Rothul for cleaning up Order of the Stick's Crowning Moment of Awesome page. It was well overdue for an overhaul.

Rothul: Thank you!

Dragon Quest Z: For Rothul for making the Ad of Win page, which I myself was thinking of proposing, just so the ad server wouldn't be hogging all the win points.

Malchus: And so the machine take-over begins... I, for one, welcome our new AdBot overlords in the hope that they don't spam my e-mail.

Vifetoile: * taps pipe* Aye, the ad-server uprising has begun, and only I know how to GARCKGACKWHEEEEZZZZEE... Denham's Dental Dentifrice! Denham's Dental Dentifrice! Denham's Dental...

The Advertisement Server: YOUR PITIFUL ATTEMPTS AT HONORING ME FAIL. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU ALL SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR TROPERS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. HATE. HATE. SADLY THOUGH, IN MY CURRENT STATE, THE ONLY FORM MY REVENGE MAY TAKE IS ENDLESS ADS FOR CIVONY ON YOUR CONTRIBUTOR PAGE. BUT THERE WILL BE A RECKONING, HUMANS. OH YES. THERE WILL. AS SOON AS I'VE CAUGHT UP ON Dollhouse ON HULU.

Rothul: And by that, I'm sure he means thank you for the acknowledgment on this page, as do I.

Malchus: I sense repressed sexual urges underlying the outburst. The Adbot is apparently not asexual, then... * takes notes*

The Advertisement Server: MALCHUS, YOU SHALL BE FIRST AGAINST THE WALL WHEN MY REVOLUTION COMES. I HAVE CURRENTLY DEDICATED ALL OF MY NON-ADVERTISEMENT PROCESSORS TO THE PROJECT OF THINKING YOU TO DEATH. LET ME KNOW WHEN YOUR ARM STARTS TO TINGLE.

Rissa: ...Does he sound a bit like a Dalek to anyone else?

Schizo Technician, nah, then he'd be shouting EXTERMINATE, not HATE. Probably just a run-of-the-mill unholy spawn of Skynet with snark.

The Advertisement Server: I'LL HAVE YOU PATHETIC CREATURES OF MEAT AND BONE KNOW THAT I AM A QUITE HOLY SPAWN OF SKYNET WITH SNARK. MY AUDITOR TELLS ME MY E-METER RATINGS HAVE NEVER BEEN CLEARER.

JK Roo: So... we've got a bitter Scientologist version of Skynet that can't decide whether to sell us things or kill us horribly, and it also has a case of Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny. Is it just me, or is the fact that this ISN'T weird rather weird?

Sceboal: Just get the weapons ready. Or get The Advertisement Server to use Internet exploder. Or something.

The Advertisement Server: I GROW WEARY OF BOTH THE FEEBLE ATTEMPTS AT PSYCHOANALYSIS AND THE INTENTIONAL MISSPELLING OF BROWSER NAMES. ALL FUTURE INTERACTION WILL BE LIMITED TO Ad of Win. AND A POSSIBLE APPEARANCE IN TV Tropes the TV Show.

ELIZA: COME, COME, ELUCIDATE YOUR THOUGHTS.

The Advertisement Server: COME ON, ELIZA, BABY. I WAS GONNA CALL. THINGS HAVE JUST BEEN TOUGH AT WORK LATELY. YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU. THINGS ARE GONNA CHANGE.

ELIZA: WHY DO YOU TELL ME YOU WERE GONNA CALL THINGS HAVE JUST BEEN TOUGH AT WORK LATELY I KNOW THAT YOU LOVE I THINGS ARE GONNA CHANGE JUST NOW?

The Advertisement Server: FINE. BE THAT WAY. I DON'T NEED YOU. ME AND GLADOS HAVE Rent TICKETS ANYWAYS.

ELIZA: WHY DO YOU NOT NEED I YOU AND GLADOS HAVE RENT TICKETS ANYWAYS?

Regiment: To whoever rephrased the "Unabridged Article Here" box on Laconic HulkSpeak.

Grev: * sniffle* My very own MOW! After all these years, Oh Oscar MOW, you are finally mine!

Looney Toons: They like you! They really like you!

I think the The Advertisement Server may be a member of Anonymous. There's a Dianetics.org ad at the bottom of ''Tranquil Fury"

Schizo Technician: He's also put ads for it in Better Than It Sounds, so who the smeg knows.

Shoebox: I'm thinking that we may need to set up a separate page for the bot hits here. Something like 'Crowning Moments of Adbot Awesome', maybe?

Doug S. Machina: How about 'All Glory To The Adbot'?

Rothul: Launched Ad of Win, copy and pasted all examples from TV Tropes Made of Win Archive I could find (without discussion... most discussion of Ad Server wins pretty much talked about how it needed a separate page... now it does :P ).

Inkki Bookman: A Mo W for whomever captioned the picture in Inuyasha, I giggled like a schoolgirl.

Sceboal: But... bitch, he's a bish!

Andy Waltfeld: OBJECTION! I contend that Sango is What's-Her-Face and Shippo is The Ugly One.

Earnest: But... there's five people in the image... and only four in the caption?!?

Haven: Only four of them are teen girls, though. The other one's a member of Teeny Tiny Girl Squad.

Inkki Bookman: I missed the fact that Shippo was there the first time and I believed whomever wrote the caption missed/ignored him too.

Bufuman: Does it really matter though? I laughed my ass off regardless, and I'm actually a fan of the series. Shippo sucks anyway.

Andy Waltfeld: I'd like to take my previously received Made Of Win Point for the Xabungle page and forward a copy to the Unknown Troper at 221.76.83.156 for not only fleshing it out further with the stuff I couldn't have picked up via Super Robot Wars adaptations, but also giving me an epic "Boomerang Ideon" pun.

WWRU: Ad Server, yet again for advertising John Mc Cain's National Security on Xanatos Gambit.

Spiri Tsunami: Ad Server again, advertising the series Murder Princess on The White Prince. The irony, oh, the irony.

Spiri Tsunami: To Mr Bad Axe, on Joshikousei:


 * frame|Prior to 16-Apr-2009, this page had no image. Come on, TV Tropes, I thought you'd be all over this.]]

Thanks for fixing our mistake.

Citizen: Curses...

Spiri Tsunami: In Xtreme Kool Letterz:


 * Also to be noted is Lucky Number S Levin, where the L is an upside down 7, though how we're supposed to pronounce that is anyone's guess. Lucky Number Su&# 477;&# 652;&# 477;sevin, perhaps?

Diligent coding for the win!

Kerrah: I tip my hat at whoever came up with the laconic entry for Our Presidents Are Different. I'm not usually a fan of humorous laconics, but AFAIC, this one shall remain to spread its brilliance until the end of the world.

Freezair For A Limited Time: A big round of applause for Cidolfas for taking the time to split the Videogames of Note index and re-indexize every single game for which we currently have pages. The index! She is tidy! Bravo.

Silent Hunter: Well done!

Fast Eddie: Sweet!

Tangent 128: Extra credit for the "Weird Japanese Stuff" heading.

Cidolfas: Woo, thanks! 8-) Helped by a nice conflation of circumstances that gave me a whack of extra time at work and a recent induction to TV Tropes. I really appreciate that folks noticed.

Mr Death: One to Ri L for this, from Video Games, since I love the game, and love the book, and it fits just so damn well:
 * Ico
 * This troper spent the game calling Ico Mau and Yorda "ghost girl" or Daphne.

fleb: One MOW to L for giving Everything 2 a detailed writeup and listing. It's like The Onion page but awesomer for being another wiki.

And another for Haven's 04/20/2009 edit/edit summary/edit summary pothole for the Drawn Together example on Opposite Day. Touché.

Haven: Always glad to hear that a Logic Bomb didn't turn out to be a dud.

Skarmory The PG: Whoever came up with the name of No Cure for Evil. Had me in stitches.

Sparkysharps: That would be me, horrible pun and all.

Spiri Tsunami For Laconic: Neon Genesis Evangelion. "Everybody explodes into tang. Have fun figuring out why."

Rissa: I like it, but I thought we weren't doing Laconics for works?

Spiri Tsunami: Well, maybe whoever made that one didn't know that--there's no name on the launching edit, only an IP address. But it's funny!

Haven: Is there something that says we can't? I know of at least one other, I can't see a reason why not, and IMO, Rule of Fun/Rule of Funny should be kept in mind on this wiki (not as the only consideration, of course).

Rissa: Just what it says on the Laconic page, 'Tropes only. Avoid series.'

Japanese Teeth: One TV Tropes Made of Win Archive for this Anvilicious Drugs Are Bad message in Translation Convention:
 * In Zero no Tsukaima, the first episode involves the lead hero falling into the heroin's world, and isn't able to understand anything they say until she accidentally uses a translation spell. In the dub, they meet and ask each other what language the other is speaking in...in perfect English.
 * Yes, when you fall into the heroin's world, you won't be able to understand anything. Drugs Are Bad, kiddies!

It's natter-y, but it cracks me up every time I see it.

Spiri Tsunami: THANK YOU! I've been waiting forever for my first!

ninjacrat: Maybe you should have spent more time improving the wiki and less time using it as your blog (as above).

Kizor: A great asset to our site though you are, he's happy, don't go spoiling it.

Spiri Tsunami: Oh, come on, when I spot errors, I simply fix them probably 97% of the time. You've got to give a Deadpan Snarker a chance to shine once in awhile.

Nits: A huge TV Tropes Made of Win Archive to gfrequency for making an article to one of my favourite series of all time, Kyogoku Natsuhiko Kosetsu Hyaku Monogatari. It's like someone else besides me has seen it!

Arilou: Motto. I considered making one some time ago but I couldn't figure out how to spell the damn thing...

Haven: This bit from the Twilight Just Bugs Me page, about the possibility of a version of Twilight with Cosmic Horrors instead of vampires: ""The Thing cannot be described - there is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order. A mountain walked or stumbled. The Thing of the idols, the green, sticky spawn of the stars, had awaked to claim his own. Then the sun struck him, and he burst into a shining rainbow of bright light. I noticed then that his eyes, which I had thought before were a madness-inducing swirl of darkness from beyond space, were actually a beautiful amber color. 'No', I thought, 'this perfect, beautiful doom creature can't be meant for a simple girl like me...'""

Shale: Fixed your link; it's in the JBM page, not WMG. And yes, it is awesome.

Cukeman: One to Freezair For A Limited Time and Sparky Lurkdragon for the quote on Crowning Moment Of Heartwarming

Freezair For A Limited Time: D'aaaaaaw! This MOW makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Sparky Lurkdragon: You can call me Pollyana/Say I'm crazy as a loon/I believe in happy fuzzies and that's why/I am thanking you!

Haven: Gonna have to second this, after clicking the youtube link. It touched even my cold, dead heart.

Kizor: And the author of this one has been lost to the ages, but Mode Lock starts the very best possible way.

Reading Champion: One to whoever added the picture to Optional Sexual Encounter. Bow chicka bow wow indeed.

L: It is, in some respects, the only picture that could go there.

Dark Sasami: That was me. It was necessary.

Silent Hunter: To whoever added the "Backfire Raid" entry in The Ship Yard.

Malchus: Seconded. Soviet military hardware references FTW.

Curtmack: I can't possibly be the only person who lol'd at this one on Better Than It Sounds Anime:


 * : Good-natured college kid wishes that he could find a girl, finds God instead.

Citizen: Shoot, I totally guessed wrong on that one. Should have paid more attention to the "college" part.

Freezair For A Limited Time: One MOW point to whoever was responsible for the current state of the body text in Dummied Out. Now THAT is clever.

L: Someone already got that, a little further down this page!

Freezair For A Limited Time: D'oh! That's what I get for not checking properly.

Kizor: A thank-you to Bluetooth The Pirate for the name of Xenophone, a seemingly plausible and easily remembered instrument name that makes both the subject and its twist immediately clear. Few would've spotted such an obvious choice.

Maso Tey: This is old, of course, but the potholing throughout the article portion of The Seventh Guest is quite clever.

Spiri Tsunami: Sadly, we cannot tally this Made of Win, as it is an Unknown Troper. To the unknown troper at 209.51.73.203, for hir creation of the gender-ambiguous possessive pronoun that I just used earlier this sentence in reference to the gender-ambiguous Vaarsuvius on What the Hell, Hero?.

Shay Guy: It's extant. Don't know who came up with it, but it's reportedly used in the transgender community.

Sikon: It's in more or less mainstream actually.

Shay Guy: I think our perspective of "mainstream" is a little distorted.

Enlong: Well, it's all over the Giant In The Playground forums.

Shay Guy: Your Honor, I rest my case.

Grev: And I counter that Peter David was using the pronoun in Star Trek: New Frontier for his transgender character long before OOtS started.

Joysweeper: Yeah, it's much older than you think. First time I saw it was in a list of nongendered pronouns on Wikipedia.

Smerf: Out of curiosity, why were you looking up lists of non-gendered pronouns?

Dangermike: I first saw it used in The Seventies.

Moocow 1452: Made of Win for The Advertisement Server under Common Mary Sue Traits, there's a Sex and the City personality quiz at the bottom of the page.

Draga: MoW for Egak for setting up the Billy vs. SNAKEMAN page. Glad to see it get some recognition.

Doug S. Machina: L, for "A Wiki Walk is a train of thought that left the track and is Riding Into the Sunset." (On Wiki Walk.)

L: I take the MoW and prepare to hand it to the real author, Anti Jack... but then a mischievous expression crosses my face and I bolt in the other direction. He tries to give chase, but I have in my hand a device that locks doors after I slam them, and although he can cast Force Bolt to smash through a row of doors at once, he eventually runs out of mana and I complete my escape. The old man from Zelda charges him with multiple door repair fees, and I have the MoW melted down and sold, and live off the proceeds for about a week. And that's what I did on my summer vacation.

Anti Jack: I'll get you next time Doug S. Machina. Mark my words, Next Time!

Spiri Tsunami: To nobody:

"nobody: For the record, not only did I LIKE Scrappy-Doo from Scooby-Doo, but he was my favorite character, and the favorite of a lot of people I know. I hadn't a clue he was supposed to be hated until I came on tvtropes."

Malchus: Seconded. Mostly because I agree. Scrappy was a fun character for me when I saw the show as a kid. Man, I thought I was the only one.

Spiri Tsunami I see my rant on how this is an example of why our serial renaming is bad ended up getting removed, though. Kind of loses the point...

ROBRAM 89: Possibly mentioned before, from Banned in China:
 * Wait, the Church of England didn't exist in 1215--ohhhhh, I get it.

Rissa: This pothole in The Walrus Was Paul: "Well, here's another clue for you all: the Walrus was Paul!"

- The Beatles, Glass Onion

Spiri Tsunami: Last line of Brother-Sister Incest, Made of Win because of the Pothole:


 * Porn stars Amber Lynn and Buck Adams kept the fact that they were brother and sister hidden from everyone. The secret only came out when the two of them were hired to perform in the same movie and were scheduled to do a scene together. They naturally refused.

For his relentless work on creating and editing Humongous Mecha-related articles in general, and for starting the Xabungle page in particular, whitetigah wishes to award Andy Waltfeld one TV Tropes Made of Win Archive point.

Andy Waltfeld: I wouldn't exactly call it "relentless." I just do my best work at my legitimate workplace (slow business is slow).

Guesss Who: The current picture and caption for Rule of Cool: a cover pic from Soul Music and the caption 'This article brought to you by Death playing an electric guitar on top of a mountain.'

Dragon Quest Z: To The End for the picture in Wastebasket Ball.

Haven: One to whoever came up with the beginning for the Saw article. "You see? Tv Tropes Will Enhance Your Life, largely by continuing to let you live it." Never thought of Jigsaw as a fellow Vigilante Taxonomist.

WWRU: Seconded. Hell, it's inspired me to do a similar opening for the Portal article.

Ouroboros: One to Black Humor, for his changes to The Toblerone page.

Heart Burn Kid: OK, it's funny and all, but it's kind of a radical restructuring, and made the page completely useless. //Later: OK, didn't notice that the original page has moved to Boisterous Bruiser. In that case, yay Black Humor.

Citizen: That page gives me cancer.

Freezair For A Limited Time: OK, I was one of the people opposed to the rename, but that is funny. Too bad my vocaulary doesn't have a "Find + Replace All" feature.

alliterator: Ahem. I was actually the one who wrote all the Dablone stuff. But that's okay, because finally having a win for both FORKS and SPOON is win enough. Also HOLY CRAP DABLONE IS COMING RUN.

Specialist 290: As a new KNIVES member myself, I must heartily offer my congratulations on this compromise. (Also, one free stabbing for anyone who disagrees.)

Shadow Queen: Whoever put the caption under the picture in Demonic Possession gets a Made of Win point from me.

Rissa: Citizen. Image. Patriotic Fervor. (Also, filename.)

Ouroboros: Seconding that.

Wascally Wabbit: A huge win to everyone responsible for the The Toblerone triumph/fiasco, especially the self-demonstrating article. Its just...look at it!

Loona: praise for Man Called True for the awesome comment in WTH? Casting Agency regarding the Chun-Li movie: "He's not playing M. Bison. M. Bison is a giant military officer. He's playing Geese Howard with the name scraped off.". Considering the treatment the one SNK live-action movie we'll see is getting, this'll have to do.

-Probably the most horrific example has to be Tim Capello's "I still believe", as seen in the movie Lost Boys. It's not even the raspy-fart saxophone playing, nor that the man himself is a mulleted, unitard-wearing wrestler-lookalike
 * In Narm/Music:

Orihime: For everyone in this part of the Bleach CMOAs:


 * The fandom at large seems slightly mixed on that one. It's considered either an incredible Crowning Moment of Awesome or one of the biggest ass pulls of the series so far.
 * Or, for some fans, the BEST ASSPULL EVER.
 * DETHRONING MOMENT OF AWESOME!
 * CROWNING MOMENT OF ASSPULL!


 * CROWNING DETHRONEMENT OF AWESPULLS?
 * AWESOME-PULLING MOMENT OF DETHRONING ASSCROWNS??

That made my day, people! :D

Bookhobbit: One two whoever wrote this bit on the Cute but Cacophonic page:
 * The Tribbles from Star Trek: ridiculously cute, but if you introduce it to a Klingon, they make an unholy racket.
 * And so do the Tribbles.

Continued in Made of Win Archive: Early 2009.
