TvTropes, your thoughts?

In the speakeasy because while tropes are fun, the funhouse isn't exactly the place for this.

What Do You Mean, It's Not Awesome?

So you have yourself a situation that might be important, but it just isn't awesome enough. There's something missing. What could it be...?

I know! Let's throw in some gripping orchestral music, lighting changes, different camera angles, something! Don't write like a man, write like an Evil Overlord! Exaggerate your expressions and gestures, speak with excessive intonation, and if all else fails, throw in some closeups, slow motion, and Ominous Latin Chanting! With practice, even you can turn something like eating a snack into an epic battle of light and dark. Anything can be Serious Business. And anything can be a martial art.

So for those of you unfamiliar with TvTropes, there's your example. For those of you who DO know about tvtropes, what are your thoughts on it?

-Do you guys find it useful?
-Is it too complicated to understand?
-Do you find it annoying when people speak in tropes?
-Have you ever spoken in tropes?
-If you have one, what's your favorite trope?

I'm quite interested in the thoughts of the community on this.

No. Pineapple you. I don't have time to waste on that site. D:

I find it fun to browse, but I don't actively think about tropes at all when I'm not.

I don't know anything about it but it appears to be the horrible offspring of Wikipedia and 4chan. The best and the worst things on the internet coming together into something completely unimportant. Wrong?

Nazi Germany was destroyed in 1945.

I find it fun to browse every once in a while, but it isn't something I would do on a regular basis.

B[SIZE="2"]i[/SIZE]tch In Sheep's Clothing is the only trope I remember off of the top of my head.

History repeats itself.

You should know that my dear boy.

Ewwww Tvtropes. I once had a look there, found it hard to drag myself away from it for hours. Since then I havn't allowed myself to go back.

*knows another Southperrian that's totally addicted to that horrible thing*

-Do you find it anyone when people speak in tropes?

I totally find it anyone.
