For the ABC series, click here, and for the Chinese film, click here. Once upon a time there was a trope. This trope was a Stock Phrase and a very old one. In fact, according to Webster's, it goes back at least to 1380. It began almost every Fairy Tale there ever was. It was a very popular trope. In French it was il était une fois (Literally: "It was a time") and in German it was es war einmal, which literally meant "It was once." Sometimes it was translated as "Once there was" or "A long time ago," but most often, this trope was simply translated as "Once upon a time." Other languages have translated it directly. Russian fairy tales often start "Zhyl-byl...", that is, "Once there lived...". In Ireland it was "There was this man...." which comes from the Irish language "Bhà fear ann fadó...." (There was a man a long time ago...). Armenian folk tales would typically start with "There once was and was not", indicating that the story was fictional. Now, stories that began with "Once upon a time" often ended with "...and they all lived Happily Ever After." But Once never got to the end of the stories — he always stayed at the beginning. And that is where he will always be. Now, are you sitting comfortably? Then let's begin. Once upon a time... note there was a boy who decided to stay up late and read TV Tropes. Even though his parents had warned him that doing this was a bad thing, still he was compelled to do so. So, the lights of the screen illuminating his face, he carefully surfed the site, reading trope descriptions and examples, going over works pages and forum threads, until finally he looked at the clock and realized it was well past the reasonable amount of time one would surf the web. And then the boy knew his parents were right — that by surfing TVTropes, he had ruined his life in such a way that he could now never go sleep. He was cursed to forever surf TVTropes, haunting the Trope Launch Pad, quietly drifting from page to page like a ghost in the machine; until one day, he met someone who had been similarly trapped. She was named Trope-tan. Together, they decided that perhaps this wasn't such a lonely place to be stuck. And so they lived and troped Happily Ever After. |

There's an entire song in Bare: A Pop Opera named after this trope. It occurs during the second act and is sung by Jason after finding out that he impregnated Ivy and breaking up with his boyfriend again as he reflects on the days when his relationship with Peter was carefree and happy and his fear that God will not accept him for being gay. | |

Shrek: The first movie appeared to use this trope at first, but lampshaded it and used a page of the book as toilet paper. Not surprising, since the movie is a Deconstructive Parody of fairy tales. Shrek 2 played it a little straighter, until the sight of the Big Bad Wolf cut the narration short. The spinoff Puss in Boots: The Last Wish plays the trope completely straight. |

RWBY: Fairy Tales of Remnant: The Girl in the Tower is written in a very traditional way, beginning with the standard "A long, long time ago..." and ending with "happily ever after". Professor Ozpin deconstructs this story in his notes, observing that it was a classic piece of propaganda, written by a protagonist who understood the power of fairy tales to inspire. The reason for Ozpin's cynicism is because the classic layout of the fairy tale starkly contrasts the real story — a tragedy that has trapped the Big Bad and Big Good into an endless Secret War for the fate of humanity. | |

In Roommates there were "Once upon a time" in several languages on page 150: later a call back to that in Kings War by the Living Words and also this gem written all over it the next panel, while its smile was spelling Tragedy: and one by the characters summarizing the arc that far like this: At least. For the comic's defense it's a Meta Fic dealing heavily with the questions of fictionality. |

The first movie appeared to use this trope at first, but lampshaded it and used a page of the book as toilet paper. Not surprising, since the movie is a Deconstructive Parody of fairy tales. | |

Once Upon a Time in Saengchori is a whimsical Korean Drama about an underperforming branch at a brokerage firm that gets Reassigned to Antarctica, namely the eponymous tiny village in the boonies. The title of the series evokes the light and fanciful mood, as the City Mice from Seoul have strange encounters with the people of the quirky town. The title also evokes the element of fantasy in the Lightning Can Do Anything plot in which a high-ranking manager at the firm loses all sense of numbers after he's struck by lightning. | |
