>No one seems to notice it.
>The object succeeds way more than the real character could ever do.
Bonus points if the object it's something simple like a lamp or a plant without a face or accessories.

Sup Forums hates Korra but letting Bolin keep his lava bending was fun

Makes me laugh like an idiot child. It happens to me in real life, too.

Has there ever been a time where they set up this joke, but when it cuts to the next scene, the character just goes, "Yeah, I'm still not doing that" or something? I think it would be funny.
Protip: when linking to a time in a Youtube video, use a &, not a ?, and just enter the number of seconds. That way, it'll work when embedded.
The Family guy episode that introduced Death.

>Art style shifts with each character's story
Bonus points if at the end an outside party reveals they were all telling the truth, even the exaggerated parts.
>Comedy relief villain shows his true power while joining the heroes and sacrificing himself to defeat the bigger evil while his theme music plays
There. All of Sup Forums's favourite tropes rolled into one.
>In each person's story, the narrator is depicted as a popular, attractive genius and everyone else is a caricature
>villain gets the upper hand and the episode ends on a cliffhanger
>next episode gets a villainized version of the opening
>It's a Rashomon episode
I kinda wish WOY did this with its last episode, where all the planets Wander wanders through in the opening are barren and destroyed from Dominator mining them.

>"A" is the one who's muscular, serious, and fights with conventional tactics
>"B" is the one who's rotund, comical, and fights with unconventional means and improvisation
>By logic, "A" should beat the fuck out of "B"
>Instead, "B" curb-stomps the fuck out of "A" while having fun doing so
The only two noteworthy examples of this trope I can find are:
>Tai Lung vs Po
youtube.com
>Jasper vs Smoky Quartz
youtube.com
Why are Rashomon episodes so fucking good?
>Sup Forums posting serious "lol I love this trope" responses to garbage other boards only post ironically
I want tumblr to mosey on out
That episode was better then it had any right to be, Count Zapaway is great.

>enemy tries to prove they're better than main heroes
>able to defeat everyone, leaving only the leader
>leader proves how outmatched the enemy is by silently dodging every attack with minimal effort, all the while silently raging
>Character looks fairly normal to the audience
>Is considered ugly or hideous in the show to a ridiculous degree
and while not on the same level I have a fondness for this one as well
>Character exits scene through a swinging door
>When the door swings back the character re-enters wearing different clothes
>Alternatively something has changed in the other room between the door swings
This never happened.
Because it's a good trope that isn't overused, and which requires at least some cleverness of the writers to pull off, forcing them to bring their A-game.
Sounds like something from a bad anime.
Where's the tension if the villain is outclassed that heavily? What's the point of having a team of heroes if their leader is better than all of them combined?
>Character looks fairly normal to the audience
>Is considered ugly or hideous in the show to a ridiculous degree
Oh boy
When has a female ever grown a dicc and kept her boobles in a cart?
>Sounds like something from a bad anime.
It happened in the Powerpuff Girls episode where they introduced Princess.
I can't get over that they never showed Lars-like Steven, that would've been funny. Because Steven-like Lars was annoying

Well I was thinking more Homer Simpson, Grunkle Stan or Jay Sherman but she does also apply to it
Maybe I didn't think of her cause in her case it feels more mean spirited than comical
>NOBODY (does evil thing to a character or otherwise) BUT ME
>"And furthermore, why am I STILL doing it?"

Each perspective shows off the character's personality
Somewhat related, when everyone around the world is watching the big fight for the fate of the world and cheering the hero on. Dragon Ball is the only example I can think, and there's a twist of it in What's so Funny about Truth, Justice & the American Way? where the people are horrified by the hero's actions.
>Character A begins to do something
>disembodied Theme music begins to play
>Perspective switches to Character B who is either some ways away or in a different room entirely
>the theme can still be heard, although it is muffled/quieter
The only example I can find is at 1:52 of the video linked, but my brain is telling me it's been in several actual cartoons...
I don't know why but it just gets me every time.
I think one or two Gorillaz music videos have done it.
It happened on kids next door
>characters A rips on character B mercilessly and shows them little to no affection, B takes it in stride and they are still friends
>character C genuinely hurts B
>character A destroys C
>I don't know why but it just gets me every time.
it's because it implies that loud music is happening in-universe, and other people are just like WELP. POCAHONTAS IS FUCKING SINGING AGAIN.
This episode of WOY did this perfectly.
Aarrgghh in Trollhunters was a great example.
Pos was satisfying because he not only trained, but he learned his own style. Once Po stopped questioning himself, he used an almost improvisational style, which Tai Lung was not used to.
>The city/world/universe watches on as the hero and villain's fight decides the fate of the city/planet/universe
>underling/student/child/etc of villain is only on the bad side because they're forced into it by the villain and it's all they know
>protagonists turn them to the good side and show them the meaning of friendship
>antagonist-turned-protagonist finally gets the courage to stand up to the villain with their newfound friends and helps to defeat them
Bonus points if the underling/student is constantly berated and abused by the villain. Not Sup Forums related but when this happened in The Bellmaker (the Redwall book) I was fucking cheering
>character goes by nickname most of the series
>gets called by their real name in a random episode
>other character that goes by nickname questions it
>other character's name gets revealed in the same scene
>Another character incredulously says that name
Not exactly limited to Sup Forums but anytime characters are in a fight and while fighting they're multitasking by protecting an object/person or passing around the mcguffin out of the villains hands.
Hoy! Hoy! Artullo! Montequilla!!!!
Hoodwinked does this, but I can't find a clip.
In Reds' story begins with a song and in the wolf's story he's standing a distance away from her and you can see her ride by on her bike with a song just echoing behind her and he goes "creepy".
Pretty much a combination of and
Yes. This is the shit I like.
I read this in Boomhauer's "voice".
I'd forgotten how much more cartoony this movie was in comparison to the second one.
>You wouldn't hit a girl!
>Nope, I'll let her do it
>female sidekick delivers asswhooping
Characters have a motif or instrument associated with them.
When the characters work together or are simply involved in a situation, the background music incorporates both of their motifs in the song.
(This is more prevalent in Movies or shows with a huge Music library)
Rucka's Wonder Woman did this excellently
PHILIP?
When the joke character manages to outsmart everyone.

>literally who character dies early on
>comes back later and is really pissed
The heroes are saved by something that initially seemed really inconsequential and insignificant.
>Hero's are running through a hallway to stop the big bad in their throne room
>Giga nigga 9K falls from the ceiling
>"YOU HAVE TO GET THROUGH ME TO GET TO THEM"
>Something stupid happens like the floor giving out
>Gigga nigga gone faster then they appeared
>Hero's shrug and keep on going
>Character helps other character prep for date
>It ends up becoming a date in and of itself
>Bigger, badder villain gets out of his seat and shows everyone who's boss
Damn I love that one
>The sidekick was actually the strong one all along.
That's another good one.
Actually really good
>one character's story reveals their hidden feelings/care for another character through their subtle depiction
>*SKWARK*
>"Emu!"
"Fall to the dark side" arcs in general are fucking awesome. I love seeing the stalwart hero lose his shit and go crazy while his friends watch in horror.

>after the climax
>people are being brought back from the dead

Christ that episode sucked.
DARE did, more than once even.
Happened quite a bit to me at my old job we were allowed to have nicknames or our badges
Shame there's no one left in Rebels who warrants Sheev personally coming to wreck their shit
