- "probably in 1978"
- Author A. Bertram Chandler attends a match of the All Japan Women's Pro Wrestling league. If this hadn't happened, there would be no All The Tropes.
- 10 March 1997
- Joss Whedon brought us a little show called Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
- April 2004
- The wiki that was to become TV Tropes got its first edit.
- July 2004
- Looney Toons reads a blog entry about TV Tropes and decides it might be a fun way to spend a slow afternoon.
- October 26, 2010
- The Google Incident, aka The Situation. Google suddenly and without notice shuts off all advertising to TV Tropes, in response to a determination that TVT was not compliant with their AdSense guidelines. TVT responds by implementing various low-impact methods such as requiring registration to see "non-compliant" pages (without ads).
- April 2012
- The Second Google Incident. Responding to another threat to TVT's advertising revenue due to Google being informed of "inappropriate" content, Fast Eddie responds with a previously-unseen alacrity. Hundreds of pages addressing topics unsuitable for persons under the age of ten are culled and a censorship regime is imposed on the entire wiki. The P5 is established and populated by a hand-picked team of bigots, prudes and Lickspittles, whose advice Fast Eddie ignores when it conflicts with his own prejudices.

- 9 July 2014
- Our first actual media mention, via a link from Salon.com about foreign language jokes in films.

- A Kickstarter for the TV Tropes Revitalization Project was launched. TVT changes ownership, Fast Eddie is no longer in charge.[1][2]
