EVERY TIME

>Lego Ninjago movie

I was actually thinking about Numbah 86 and her dad, Mr. Boss. As he put it;
>I love my kids, its everyone else's that I hate.

>butt monkey of the group is revealed to be the strongest character

>character looks super evil and everyone thinks they're the villain, audience included
>they end up being good

>Comic relief character ends up saving the day.

Ignore the hero always wins quo, the winner is the smarter of the two.
A filler episode is the clip show, but it features a different take on things, like a b-character's explanations, and crazy x-files theories that are as legit as anything else that's going on.
The token girl member is covered in mud because grr, girls can take it, but no, no grrl power, it was an accident and she just doesn't care. She might just go back in, and drag someone else in for fun.
Someone uses some old equipment in a new way and a nobody comes out of nowhere and suddenly mops the floor with everyone in his way- and it isn't a guns are bad/ drugs are bad episode.

>Hero/ally starts going down the slippery slope
>actions become more and more morally ambiguous
>They never cross the edge past irredeemable and prevents the conflict from being a one side is obvious right

I assume the third party is a robot most of the time. I still can't think of any examples.

I NEED examples of this.

Not the trope but it reminds me of that gag in Dodgeball

You mean like Juwanna Man?

Mah fellow Wort Wort

>major character is, while having their own set of unique traits, essentially just the female version of another MC

>character is a master in magic/martial arts/whatever the combat style is
>new villain shows up, blows them the fuck out in one hit

Starfire was the only titan who didn't get to star in an arc.
Robin got the slade apprenticeship
Raven got the arc with her dad
Cyborg got brother blood
Beast Boy got Terra AND the league of villains
But starfire got nothing

Been a long time since I watched it, but wasn't Blackfire/Tamaran an arc?

I'd date her ass desu

Blackfire was a recurring villain, but she wasn't a season arc villain.

>Side character doesn't get upstaged by MC and stays competent.

>Good Guy and Bad Guy team up to defeat Drug Guy.
>Bad Guy moseys off with Drug Guy's weapons & money, while Good Guy basks in winning the good fight.

>Hero is trying to remember something a character said earlier in the episode
>Suddenly starts hearing it being repeat over and over again in a whispery, "in my head" voice
>Camera moves back to reveal the character is actually just standing right next to them

>Villain is generally a nice guy who treats his henchman well and has his morals but is still a legitimate badass and a threat to the hero.

I love this one page that goes
>They've surrounded us completely.
>Good, now we can't miss.
So it's a shame I can't find it.

Holy shit, I just scrolled ahead to the part in the video I was looking for without actually watching any of it.

That was a terrible recording.

>>Boy vs. Girl episode
>>A third party

Not sure what you're referring to but the Tenjo Tenge anime sort of upset me with this. The MC was trying to act like a bloodthirsty delinquent but even he didn't deserve the vicious asswhooping that one guy handed him early on. I never finished watching the show either so I don't know if he ever got to run it back or just had to hold the L.

> OP who posts tropes thread found hanging in their dirty little bedroom

Here's what happens. Nothing happens.

>Villain soldier fails his boss
>The boss realizes this isn't the fault of his loyal minion but a sign of just how strong the hero is and understands that he tried his best

It's Oh! great so I suspected, but didn't want to assume. Thanks, I guess.

Criminally underrated movie.

>any time Good Guy and Bad Guy work together and Bad Guy is given a pass to get away at the end but still acknowledges he's Bad Guy

>side character has to step up and take a main role
>is actually pretty good at it despite worrying

Tamaran was an episode.

That sounds amazing.

All to rare.

...

>"Place your weapons on the table."
>Characters put the expected amount of weapons on table.
>"ALL of them."
>Montage of a ridiculous pile of weapons being pulled out of increasingly bizarre places.

>protag vs an enemy
>meanwhile in the background an unknown entity lurks
>during the middle of the fight, the unknown entity kills/incapacitates the enemy and the protag now has to fight that instead.

>Just when it seems ancient evil wins big bad shows up and they duke it out

>The retarded comic relief guy promotes a twist or removes a barrier, casting a new, deeper light on his character

>third party
But that doesn't exist user

Always the best.

We have herms and also non humans.

Read the context. This is about tropes. Think about the last episode you saw where it was Boys V. Girls or even Group A v. Group B. Typically it's some sort of surprise twist, NOT just a simple victory of A or B or Boys or Girls.

One of the most popular options for this twist is for it to be a third party who abstained from the competition for one reason or another.

This would be the "third party" being referenced, this isn't a reference to gender fluidity, because that isn't a fucking trope.

I can only assume you're trying to coyly call that out to start a fight about it, because that's only slightly less retarded than actually being confused about what OP is talking about, but it's still pretty fucking retarded.

Something similar has been said by several soldiers.

We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things. -Chester Puller

>playing Yakuza 0
>almost every big boss is a guy in a suit
>they rip their suits to reveal chiseled bodies
>even the guys that look a bit out of shape can end up having fucking bear bodies

Kiwami almost never does this so guess someone behind 0 just loved that cliche

Loose the stick, user

>Good guy under mind control fighting another good guy
>Snaps out of it mid fight
>Hey what's going o-
>Gets bitch slapped to unconsciousness

Overused really.

*Chesty* Puller

as in: had a chest full of fucking medals

>battle of the genders
>its a 63 person battle royale

My favorite was king of hill where Dale strips in his underwear just walks off screen briefly and comes back with a fuck huge knife that he just stabs into a table

MY CABBAGES

Care to share some examples?

...

It was funny the first time Homer did it, but when Lenny and Carl started doing it too, it became a little boring desu

>What is a hermaphrodite?

>Monk/Magician warns of an upcoming apocalyptic event
>The local Authority actually believes him

Why was the cabbages funny but pakmar was painful to watch?

My dick.

Boys team, girls team, we're not on your team. Your team is stupid. There's no reason to fight each other. You wanna go waste all day fighting, go do it without us. We're our team. Not the ones you want us to be on. We don't care who wins, we just want to have some fun. See you at the finish line. I don't care who gets there first, just that we all can get there.

>Show has a specific event that happens every episode, usually as the transition between the intro and episode
>Gag of main character(s) pointing this out one episode

Alright mate, don't cry

>"Watch out for dust bunnies!"
>It's literally sentient dust in the shape of bunny rabbits.

Troq don't deserve nice things

>Hero and Villain have an honorable dual

The fuck even are dust bunnies

Just balls of dust and hair and shit that form if you don't sweep in places often

>hero doesn't even need to use his powers to beat despicable villain

>Character 1 is crying about their long list of flaws
>Character 2: "Aww, Character 1, you're not [literally only one of the flaws mentioned]."

south park

>Villain is abolute super evil but STILL cares about his henchemen.

Robots. Their sexless robot friend shows up and proves that machines rule.

>character discovers he can revive/has videogame-like lives system
>proceeds to die in stupid ways

>Boy vs Girl episode
>"welp, it looks like everyones life is equally horrible"

>nerdy good natured guy
>hot big boobied tough gurl
>he fights to defend her when she is weak or vulnerable
>almost gets kill because he is technically a weakling.
>girl is moved by his sacrifice
>they become a couple.

or even just the short hand of

>the nerdy guy gets the hot girl

the progressive world wants to banish this trope, but no i tell you, it is the last single candle light in my dark world.

I love this one.

>character never speaks

>Villain treats his minions well and legitimately cares for their wellbeing
>Is completely heartbroken when one of them changes sides for the good guys
