While some works love Playing with a Trope and others are so lacking in self-awareness that they play everything painfully straight,note Say it with us now, "cliii-chééé" there are some gems that take delight in their tropes and then exaggerate them. This is especially common in Reconstructions, where all the narrative conventions that made the genre fun are present in full (and generally goofy) force, or parody works, usually of the affectionate variety, where the whole point is to laugh at as many tropes as humanly possible. So, the grizzled veteran will jump on a grenade. The Kid Hero will find that last bit of Heroic Willpower to fight off The Virus and vanquish the newly freed Big Bad once and for all. The seven Runes of Borax will be gathered when the planets are aligned to free the Greater-Scope Villain who will inevitably turn on the evil overlord. In short, works that are deemed Troperiffic apologize for absolutely nothing and just have fun with every convention or tried idea and taking it to places never thought possible. MST3K Mantra will sometimes be a requirement to enjoy the work because, without it, Troperiffic works can come off as confusing. Then again, a good Troperiffic work will be fairly obvious about it in some way. Note that one person's Troperiffic is another person's Cliché Storm, although most Troperiffic works have a certain level of Lampshade Hanging, sarcasm, or underlying love for the genre the work exists in. That, and Rule of Cool in copious amounts. Compare Serial Escalation, Exaggerated Trope. A work that is verifiably like this can be said to be Trope Overdosed. See also ReferencedBy.TV Tropes for actual references towards the site. Not to be confused with Stripperiffic. Examples |

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was made to play the tropes of the series to the letter, since they knew that they were going to change things up for the next game. The whole series is really like this. The Chosen One must find the Sword of Plot Advancement and all the pieces of the plot device — every one of which is in a Temple of Doom — so he can stop The Horde, cut through the Quirky Miniboss Squad and slay/banish the Sorcerous Overlord, all to Save the Princess and liberate The Good Kingdom. And it is one of the most beloved and respected video game franchises of all time. |

David Eddings' Belgariad. An intensely derivative work treading over ground walked by fantasy novels since time immemorial and still managing to be an enjoyable read. And his Elenium uses a lot of the same tropes as The Belgariad, but is often considered by fans to be even better. | |

Megamind advertised itself saying "The superhero movie will never be the same again." Granted, it was the same, but only for the first fifteen minutes or so... and then we have some lovely plot twists that kind of turn a parody of Superman into its own engaging story. Whether or not you like this film, you probably have to admit that the people working on this movie REALLY knew their Superhero Tropes well; Megamind's Character Development is a great example of that. | |

DOOM: Repercussions of Evil gets special mention for sheer density. The page lists 31 tropes at the time of this writing: roughly one trope every seven words. It's even noted that the works page is longer than the story itself. Love at first sight (Harry Potter) takes this further by having more tropes than words. It only has four words, two of which are "The End". |

Magic Knight Rayearth is full of RPG tropes and cliches in its first season, including a fantasy land in danger, a captured princess, fetch quests to obtain powerful weapons, and a wise mentor figure, which serve to make the twist ending where they have to kill said princess on her own request hit even harder. | |

Girls und Panzer, a series taking a ridiculous but awesome premise (high school girls fighting with tanks as a sport) and playing it straight, goes to town with every cliche of every genre it mashes up: war, sports, tournaments, cute girls, school comedy, tragic backstories, slapstick comedy. So what was meant to be for a Niche Genre, became one of the biggest Anime Sleeper Hits in recent memory. It was so Troperiffic that is broke the wiki's Characters page. Twice . | |

Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana: A girl with wings! A catgirl! A hero on a vague quest for knowledge and reputation! A wisecracking older dude who's along mostly just because! Ancient evil! Recent evil! Ineffectual Sympathetic Villains! And yet, the game plays with the cliches just enough (such as making The Hero the White Mage of the party, and making him the butt of every joke imaginable partially for it yet still making him seem legitimately badass and awesome) that the game just clicks for a lot of people. | |

The Fire Emblem series has been running for over thirty years, and in that time, it established itself as being a series that relies not only on a lot of typical fantasy tropes, but also several tropes of its own making (which it then heavily recycles). Indeed, it would be easier to count the characters that aren't based off of previous characters in some capacity, both for heroes and for villains. The series both made and codified tropes that came to define the Strategy RPG genre. However, even on top of that, the early games (especially in Archinea) are known for being Cliche Storms, but later games find every way they can to play around with the formula. | |

The Chronicles of Prydain, by Lloyd Alexander, are gleefully full of Older Than Print tropes from Welsh myth. And they're still awesome. Although he does take a few liberties for purposes of fiction — for instance, converting Arawn to an Evil Dark Lord. In Alexander's essay "The Grammar of Story," he references several tropes by name, including the MacGuffin, Chekhov's Gun, and Hoist by His Own Petard. | |

Problem Sleuth, like Adventurers!, goes out of its way to use, lampshade, avert, subvert, invert, and pay homage to nearly every single RPG and Adventure game trope out there, culminating in one of the most gloriously surreal Final Boss battles ever, as all the tropes collapse in on themselves like some giant Post-Modernist singularity. | |

Kotoura-san may seem like a generic Romantic Comedy from the previews. However, this show has many Hidden Depths, and it's among the wildest Cerebus Rollercoasters known to fiction for playing every trope it can squeeze in for Laughs as much as Drama throughout its twelve episodes. Take the eponymous character, Haruka Kotoura: her profile alone takes up more than half of the show's character page space! | |

Pretty much the whole Tales Series could fit in the trope, specially after Symphonia. They combine bizillions of tropes with some well-calculated unexpected twists and/or original ways of presenting those tropes. And, ironically, thanks to that they manage to pull off some great, hard-to-forget stories. In other words, in Namco Tales Studio know very well what they're doing. Tales of Symphonia, each character exhibits at least 3 character tropes, and the plot itself has predictable twists, founds itself on Fantastic Racism and Utopia Justifies the Means, and plenty of other tropes and cliches thrown in for good measure, and still manages to look like an original game despite it all. Tales of Phantasia is this for basically the opposite reason: it plays almost every trope straight, but it just works. |

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann definitely counts as this: a Kid Hero, an Idiot Hero, a Small Girl, Big Gun, and a pure hearted lost princess, kick logic and fate to the curb and do the impossible with Humongous Mecha, Drills, In the Name of the Moon speeches, and craploads of Hot Blood. Yours is the drill that will pierce the heavens, indeed! | |

The When They Cry series is excellent at this. Umineko: When They Cry deserves a particular mention, combining Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane, "Groundhog Day" Loop, Closed Circle, Clueless Mystery, and Fair-Play Whodunnit into one Visual Novel. It has debates! IN COLOR! The characters are also quite Genre Savvy when it comes to dealing with mysteries, and even lampshades the use of the related tropes. | |

Community. Abed is a troper. He invokes tropes, finding the worlds of TV and movies much more interesting. Even beyond Abed, the show has happily thrown itself into parodies and homages to practically every genre of fiction (and non-fiction) on the planet.

Black Dynamite finds a way to work in almost every relevant trope, filmmaking convention, and even plotline from 70s Blaxploitation films in the course of creating an Affectionate Parody of the genre.

Cowboy Bebop is a Noachian deluge of tropes and clichés from countless genres, from heroic bloodshed to spy films to spaghetti Westerns to blaxploitation to space opera and more. It appropriates them, it subverts them, it plays them straight, it pays loving homage, and all the while it does its own thing. "And the work which has become a genre unto itself shall be called: Cowboy Bebop" in retrospect, is basically true. |

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation was apparently written with a copy of the Evil Overlord List at hand to make sure that every single point possible (excluding the high tech ones) was prominent in the plot. #1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 20 (in practically every scene), 21, 22, 24, 26, 29, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 39, 53, 55, 56, 58, 64, 73 (the entire point of the movie!), 75 (more so in the first movie, but still here), 78 and 88 are all done in a truly overblown style. The first Mortal Kombat: The Movie is a spirited competition of "how much cheesy fantasy, kung fu and action movie tropes can we jam into 90 minutes?" It's like if Stephen Sommers made a wuxia. |

Homestuck, the MS Paint Adventure, does the same thing for simulation games, fantasy, and sci-fi that Problem Sleuth did for adventure games, noir, and Anime-style action. Many time travel tropes, a jillion different kinds of Applied Phlebotinum, video game themed technobabble, characters with increasingly bizarre traits, and a great big heaping of Tropes of Legend all mix together with a great soundtrack and whimsical art style into the one of the most Troperiffic things in existence. The main work page itself became so long that the tropes listed had to be put into folders! In fact, Homestuck as well as other hugely Troperiffic franchises are in part responsible for some of the recent server crashes. They have so many tropes they are crashing the site. | |

The Vision of Escaflowne: A Shojo heroine, a shonen hero, giant robots, Cat Girls, an Ordinary High-School Student Trapped in Another World, Love Dodecahedrons, Gender Bender, and more. The show seems to deliberately throw in as many anime-related tropes as possible. What's more, it refuses to limit itself to just Shōnen or Shoujo tropes, so it makes use of both. We have extremely complicated Love Dodecahedrons involving copious amounts of Bishōnen in a war-torn world where Giant Mecha duke it out. | |

The Lord of the Rings by default is troperiffic, when is the Trope Maker and Trope Codifier for all of modern western Fantasy. There is almost no western fantasy work that is not inspired even indirectly by everything Tolkien has created. Despite all the accusations of being cliché that have been leveled at Tolkien because of the copycat works inspired by Lotr, his work stood the test of time with two trilogies, cartoons and a show to help carry further this legacy. | |

Blue Dragon: The hot-blooded Determinator hero, the feisty nonhuman, the hero's best friend with strong magical powers, the love interest Black Magician Girl, and the older woman who turns out to be The Mole join forces to defeat the evil Big Bad with an excuse and the Greater-Scope Villain, a superweapon who ended a war 1000 years ago, with their powers of questionable origin. Not only was this an attempt from the same makers to bring back the cliche charm of Chrono Trigger (which it, for the most part, succeeded at), it put a spin on some of these tropes - for instance, the hero's friend is the White Mage. | |

A majority of the cast in the Killer Instinct series take inspirations from many movie tropes and clichés. Some of the characters include Hisako, a Japanese Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl who wouldn't look out of place in The Ring, Spinal, an undead skeleton pirate who was based off of the skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts, Chief Thunder, a Magical Native American who is fighting to recover his brother's body to give it a proper burial, and Fulgore, a killer robot who is more or less the result of mashing the title characters of Predator and The Terminator into a single character. | |

Metal Gear. Every trope, whether it's a Gambit Pileup or even simple Ho Yay, is played so ridiculously straight that they eventually curve back in on themselves to create such an impenetrable mess that it becomes near impossible to tell what's serious and what's parody, while still managing to elicit the reactions and results that the tropes were intended for in the first place. | |

Made even more hillarious by a real spy (Garak) accompanying Bashir in the holoprogram and lampshading how ridiculous the James Bond elements are.

Turning Red is possibly the most troperiffic Pixar film ever, not just being Trope Overdosed, but becoming so within a year of its release. Gaining tropes that fast might even be unprecedented. It has the fourth most tropes among animated films. It manages to be a Coming of Age Story with fantasy elements while also being a Kaiju Work and incorporating normally videogame exclusive tropes like Air-Dashing. | |

Heroman seems to be turning out this way, especially if you know Stan Lee. The story so far is your generic Kid Hero-receives-giant-robot-by-fate storyline. The hero has only one friend, and then there's a cheerleader Love Interest, two Mad Scientists, a Hot Teacher, and The Government who are stereotypically evil and care only about their country's interests. There's more when you throw in a Missing Mom and Disappeared Dad combo, aliens who have no complex motives for world conquest, and the hero's sister who's made her return to his life after some time away. | |

My Monster Secret: An Ordinary High-School Student who Cannot Tell a Lie discovers that his class is full of unusual students — a Friendly Neighborhood Vampire (who he has a crush on), a Lilliputian Human Alien in a Mobile-Suit Human, a Lovable Sex Maniac girl who's also a "wolfman", a Intrepid Reporter whose glasses are possessed by a god of fortune, his own Grandkid from the Future, and more — and it's his job to play Secret-Keeper and Cloudcuckoolander's Minder for every single one of them. Hilarity Ensues. This series gets a lot of love because it gleefully skewers the Harem Genre by playing EVERY trope connected to it for laughs but never falls victim to its worst excesses; it also has a strong core of memorable and lovable characters and an overarching plot that switches between laughs, tears, and cheers flawlessly. And it actually busts one of the harem genre's biggest tropes: The main couple gets together before the end of the series! | |

"Exalted is a game where one of your main antagonists is Death, Creator of the Underworld. Except there's several of him, probably six or seven. Oh, and he's got 13 dread henchmen, one of whom was probably you at some point in time. Also, Hell has a personal grudge against you this time. Did I mention Magical America regularly trains and sends ninjas out for you personally? Ninjas specially trained in *** -kicking? Which, if they won't work, they keep giant robotic suits of armor on reserve for. Oh, and the Transformers have united under Omicron, and are invading. The Jedi have corrupted Heaven and usurped your rightful place as the Masters of Everything. Your ex-wife just dropped by, and she's a two thousand year old shape-changing man-eating monster now, interested in maybe going on a date next Thursday. Your best friend from your last life and while growing up now seeks to cover all the lands of Middle Earth in darkness, if he can just find this damn ring. And your God has the world's biggest crack habit, and needs some serious rehab." — Darius Solluman | |

PS238 takes every last superhero-related trope in existence (and a few unrelated, just for good measure), deconstructs them, reconstructs them, plays them straight (though rarely) and averts them.

Codex Alera is a High Fantasy series in which a plucky underdog Farm Boy from a backwater of the imperiled kingdom undergoing a succession crisis becomes a sword-wielding badass and saves the world, making friends of ancient enemies as he goes. And he's the heir to the throne and consequently has the most powerful magic of... well, pretty much anyone. Yet the setting is such an unusual twist on Medieval European Fantasy and Tavi is so brilliant and insane that you probably won't even notice the fact that so many elements of the story are old fantasy clichés." | |

Macross stands upon three distinct "pillars": Transforming Mecha: In addition to the requisite transforming Space Fighters, every entry (with the exception of Macross Zero) also has at least one appearance by the franchise's eponymous super dimensional fortresses, which are transforming Humongous Mecha. Awesome Music: In the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross, culture shock from music was what ended the war, but in subsequent series, music has actual powers, with Macross 7 really using The Power of Rock. A Love Triangle: Super Dimension Fortress Macross: A boy in the military chooses between his superior officer and a waitress-turned-singer he rescued. Macross II: A news reporter with a pilot's license attracts both an alien girl he rescued and a tsundere ace pilot. Macross Plus: The manager for a virtual idol still has the affections of her two former high school best friends turned ace pilots. Macross 7: A half-Zentradi bassist (the daughter of SDF ace pilots Max and Milia) can't choose between her mother's protege and the leader/lead-singer of her band. Macross Zero: A crashed pilot attracts a priestess and her hyperactive younger sister. Macross Frontier: A kabuki actor turned pilot develops chemistry with both a young aspiring idol singer he rescued and an already famous idol singer. Macross Delta: A drifter turned pilot gets into one with his tsundere wingmate (who's a granddaughter of the aforementioned Max and Milia) and an up-and-coming Girl Group Idol Singer (who's also an alien defecting from a hostile world). |

The Conversion Bureau: The Other Side of the Spectrum is a Deconstruction Fic/War Fic that takes every element of the original story and several of its spin-offs (particularly the works of the infamous author Chatoyance) and flips them on their heads, topped off with very highly detailed Worldbuilding and huge amounts of Nightmare Fuel. The work's page is truly massive (thanks to its several canon side-stories), there are a lot of Shout Outs, and several instances of Lampshade Hangings. It's pretty deliberate, as some of the co-authors and side story creators are tropers themselves. | |

Mortal Kombat is basically a bunch of action heroes in an Enter the Dragon-style scenario. You've got the evil spirit who wants revenge, the Bruce Lee Clone, the actor who wants to prove his moves aren't faked, the thunder god, the Marine Action Girl, the criminal, the Chinese assassin, the Proud Warrior Race Guy, and the Evil Sorceror. Subsequent games have added a Magical Native American who at 6'3" is probably a plains Indian, her evil clone who is notable for almost seeming like a good guy at first, another bunch of Proud Warrior Race Guys, Terminator clones, the guy named after his ancestor, the blind swordsman, and many more. And oh, yeah, the Big Bad gets more and more eldritch with each game. | |

The Venture Brothers, being a Deconstructive Parody of around a dozen or so different entertainment genres, from "youth adventure" series like Jonny Quest to Pulp Comics like Doc Savage to the "peace, love, and super-science" culture of The '60s. Just about every trope therein is used, abused, and lampshaded at least once, often whichever is funniest at the time. | |

Farscape. Just look at how its main page had to be subdivided into separate ones. And then it takes the tropes and twists them into funny shapes like so many balloon animals, even playing with a trope it was the Trope Codifier for in the episode in which it was codified and named! | |

A Song of Ice and Fire is known for being a Deconstructor Fleet Juggernaut that uses real historical events at its base, and combines them with Fractured Fairy Tale and as many fantasy and medieval tropes as possible. The franchise can even be considered a modern Trope Codifier for Dark Fantasy. | |

Danger 5 essentially takes every '60s TV, action or pulp fiction cliche it can get its hands on, and plays it dead straight, parodies it, or makes it as absurdly over-the-top as possible. The second series applies this same approach to '80s b-movies. Kung fu, video games, slasher movies, high school movies, Cannon Films, Jaws knockoffs, big hair... it's all here! |

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon is your typical supernatural slasher movie... from the point of view of the (not-so-supernatural) villain. Pretty much every slasher trope is called out and deconstructed in the first half, and then demonstrated in the climax. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender. Example: it takes Elemental Powers, plays them to the hilt by having the benders use their powers for more than just fancy martial arts. There are a few subversions, notably Azula's interruption of Aang's Avatar transformation and Zuko's subverted Heel–Face Turn at the end of the Season 2 finale. This just makes those trope subversions all the more jarring and awesome. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, in the episode "Our Man Bashir." It features not only every Star Trek trope, but every James Bond trope as well. Made even more hillarious by a real spy (Garak) accompanying Bashir in the holoprogram and lampshading how ridiculous the James Bond elements are. Also, Garak's attempts to be a real spy in the simulation don't work because it's specifically designed to be Spy Fiction of the Tuxedo and Martini variety. |

Kingdom Hearts. Playing that game, you spend half of your time laughing as every single cliché you've ever seen pops up nicely in a row, and the other half with your finger glued to the button to see what happens next. All-Loving Hero Sora, Rival Turned Evil Riku, and Damsel in Distress Kairi are each the pure, distilled embodiments of their roles in the series. Hey we're taking about a game that's a crossover between two of the most troperiffic franchises in existence. So it's pretty much a given. | |

Rocket Age exists in a similar genre to Space 1889 and so has a LOT of the same tropes, although how it is all put together makes it feel very different, being early 20th century pulp sci-fi as opposed to Vernian sci-fi and has a distinctly different attitude to how the aliens are portrayed. Being set in 1938, it is also full of Those Wacky Nazis, Dirty Commies and Raygun Gothic tropes. | |

And it is one of the most beloved and respected video game franchises of all time. | |

LEGO's BIONICLE- a Darker and Edgier, Merchandise-Driven Science Fantasy series powered by Rule of Cool. It starts out with a bunch of Cyborg Hobbits living in Elemental Tribes on a Schizo Tech Patchwork Map Island being terrorized by a mysterious Big Bad. Then a Six Man Band of heroes with magic masks and Elemental Powers (that conveniently match their personalities) comes along to fight the various beasties he sends after them, before confronting the Big Bad himself and learning about The Power of Friendship. The series then starts deconstructing a lot of the tropes- it turns out the myths may not be entirely true, that the Schizo Tech is left over from an apocalypse no-one remembers, and the impossible Patchwork Map island may not be an island after all... In fact, if a trope page has a "Toy" subcategory, odds are it's because of this particular franchise. Often, Bionicle is the only example in its category. |

The A-Team. Part of the appeal is knowing, blow by blow, how each episode will play out before you watch it. There will be a scene where B.A. throws a guy over a car. Murdock will act silly and tick B.A. off. Face will fall in love with every remotely attractive woman he sees. It's just fun. And lots of machine guns will get fired, but no one will get shot. The Big Bad's car will ramp off another vehicle, fly twisting sideways over a ground camera, and crash on its roof. The Big Bad and his Mooks will crawl out, uninjured, and surrender. The basic formula stays the same, but the writers switch up the specifics. Take Murdock, for instance: he'll act crazy of course, but how? Will he decide he's a cab-driving superhero? Pretend he's Captain Ahab? Act like an artsy filmmaker? Psychoanalyze a bunch of pecans while switching between a German accent and just plain German? ...And yeah, he did all of those things. | |

Mass Effect: The number of tropes Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 use is surprising and not limited to classic SF ones. The authors are especially fond of subverting and double subverting tropes. In fact, the pages have repeatedly had to be split to prevent them from crashing the wiki; counting just the main tropes pages for the individual games and series as a whole, there are fourteen pages. This does not include subpages (such as YMMV and Character pages) or the Expanded Universe content. The Commander Shepard trope list alone got so long it ended up on its own page—remember, this is one character. Then there's the rest of the original party members, themselves also getting their own. The Mass Effect 3 page actually got so large it had to be split, before the game had even been released —and then the Citadel DLC took it up a notch. | |

Final Fantasy IX's plot is a large amalgamation of various fairy tale and fantasy tropes. The male lead, Zidane, is a street-smart Lovable Rogue who grew up with a gang of thieves doubling as a travelling theatre troupe, and who also has a monkey's tail. The female lead, Garnet, is a Rebellious Princess with a Wicked Stepmother who leaves her comatose on her Dangerous 16th Birthday. They fall in love, with Zidane showing Garnet a whole new world like Aladdin and Jasmine. The other party characters include a living doll questioning his existence, a Knight in Shining Armor who takes his job seriously to comical extremes, a rat knight searching for her lost love, a lonely orphan girl, an edgy loner, and Quina. In addition, the entire world resembles something from a Jim Henson movie (with the creators specifically citing The Dark Crystal as an inspiration). | |

Austin Grossman's Soon I Will Be Invincible gleefully describes a street-leveling superbattle involving a world-threatening Mad Scientist with tons of tricks up his sleeves facing down a normal human with an animal on the chest of his uniform, a lightning-summoning fairy, a bipedal tiger, and a flying invulnerable woman, started when the Mad Scientist was just trying to drink some coffee. Almost perfectly invincible flying man with heat-beam eyes saves a lovely reporter from constant kidnapping by a villain intimately tied into his past, dies and has a massive funeral, or rather, fakes it for a very short time, and always saves the world. The bad guy defeats the good guys and ties them up in Death Traps. Famous heroes sacrifice themselves to save the planet from warring aliens, while villains never die and always escape, or go to Cardboard Prison. No one finds these events strange or unbelievable. Very shocking in a book where said Mad Scientist wonders why he doesn't find a career that'd make money rather than involve him being beaten up by powered heroes, and the bipedal tiger is known to have back problems. | |

Not Another Teen Movie. The story of a High School football jock that does not want to follow in his father's footsteps, who makes a bet with his friends that he can turn the weird girl into prom queen material, then enlists his sister to help turn said weird girl into prom queen material in exchange for sleeping with her. The jock eventually realizes that he is in love with the girl and defies convention to be with her. Meanwhile, the weird girl's younger brother and his two friends try to lose their virginity by prom. | |

Torrian Crawford stated that his goal in Red vs. Blue: Zero was a "a tropey season for the specific goal of just being fun", that was "very aware of how cheesy it is." (although a common criticism of the season is that the plotting and characterization just does a superficial employment of some tropes instead of exploiting them like most examples on this page do) | |

MS Saga: A New Dawn can be considered "Gundam Tropes: The Game". The game is a boiler-plate traditional JRPG structured out of the numerous tropes commonly utilized by the entire Gundam franchise, to the point anybody remotely familiar with said franchise can easily predict the plot and gameplay at any given moment. | |

Pokémon, being among the most well known Mon series features hundreds of tropes. Every character, both human and the Pokémon themselves are fairly complex since they both serve as both game characters and anime characters. The games themselves revolve around how turn-based battles in eastern RPGs work and each monster has its own "personality" of sorts and draw inspiration from practically everywhere. | |

Skies of Arcadia is stuffed to the gills just about every heroic fantasy cliche there is. Perhaps because it came at a time when every RPG in a five-year radius was trying to be dark and edgy, subverting every trope they could, Skies' return to a group of adventurers who enjoy each others' company and go looking for the MacGuffins to save the world from an Evil Empire ended up being a breath of fresh air. | |

With sixteen games and numerous spinoffs, the Final Fantasy series has used (and sometimes created) nearly every single RPG cliche ever seen. Final Fantasy IX's plot is a large amalgamation of various fairy tale and fantasy tropes. The male lead, Zidane, is a street-smart Lovable Rogue who grew up with a gang of thieves doubling as a travelling theatre troupe, and who also has a monkey's tail. The female lead, Garnet, is a Rebellious Princess with a Wicked Stepmother who leaves her comatose on her Dangerous 16th Birthday. They fall in love, with Zidane showing Garnet a whole new world like Aladdin and Jasmine. The other party characters include a living doll questioning his existence, a Knight in Shining Armor who takes his job seriously to comical extremes, a rat knight searching for her lost love, a lonely orphan girl, an edgy loner, and Quina. In addition, the entire world resembles something from a Jim Henson movie (with the creators specifically citing The Dark Crystal as an inspiration). The scene in Final Fantasy XIII when Snow and Fang rescue Lightning and Hope in Palumpolum pushes very hard to find out how many tropes you can pack into one minute: Lightning and Hope come across a huge screen that shows a live broadcast of the capture of two fugitives, which causes an Oh, Crap! moment as the camera zooms on them. Surrounded by a small army of soldiers and facing a Bolivian Army Ending, Lightning tells Hope to run while she makes her Heroic Sacrifice, while the commander reminds his troops of What Measure Is A Nonhuman. Even though There Was a Door, Boisterous Bruiser and Badass Longcoat Snow and Action Girl Fang arrive as the Big Damn Heroes. Snow points out that his Indy Ploy doesn't need a plan, makes a Gun Twirl, and starts Roof Hopping over the handrail. In mid-flight, he pulls out his Mon, giving us a nice Transformation Sequence with lots of Instant Runes and freezes the entire place with Instant Ice: Just Add Cold!. Then, he and Fang ride down the ice bridges on their Cool Bike, for Fang to shoot the TV camera. All in less than 2 minutes. The Dissidia games. Kefka in particular seems to take great delight in pointing this out. |

Enchanted is entirely based on Disney gathering up a list of both tropes from its classic animated films and from modern romantic comedies, putting them in one movie, and subverting, inverting, and generally dicking around with and laughing at all of them. | |

Kung Fury is a giant parody of the '80s, mostly '80s action movies. Unfortunately, a lot of the jokes it makes and the over-the-top flourishes it features are suspiciously similar to some of the stuff on Danger 5, particularly its second season, which was similiarly drenched in '80s tropes. | |

Pirates of the Caribbean both subverts pirate/adventure movie tropes and plays them straight. It even presents unrealistic tropes straight with a realistic twist at the end. For example, Barbossa in the first film shoots Pintel, a reference by the writers to when the bad guy in a movie shows how evil he is by killing one of his own men, which would lead to him not having a lot of henchmen left. But Barbossa and his men are immortal, so he gets to shoot Pintel with no repercussions! Hooray! Another happens when the prisoner in the next cell from Jack tells him that he's "heard stories" about the Black Pearl, and how, whenever it attacks a city, it never never leaves any survivors. Jack's response: "No survivors? Then where do the stories come from, I wonder?"The second film even includes a parody/homage to the "hero endures a whipping" scene (a trope of old pirate films, long before it became a subverted form of fanservice in exploitation films), which is played out similar to old pirate movies, only that the captain and the crew that sentence Bloom's character to the punishment are a bunch of half-human monsters, and he only receives a few hits before he is spared. | |

What Warhammer 40,000 does with sci-fi, Warhammer does with fantasy. Okay, maybe it's not quite as whacked-out, but it's still a pretty awesome mish-mash of every fantasy trope you could care to name. One example is The Empire: A Fantasy Counterpart Culture of the Holy Roman Empire led by a particularly awesome Emperor (who runs around with either the Reikland Runefang or Sigmar's own warhammer, and rides either a dragon or a griffin). | |

El Goonish Shive plays with almost every Gender Bender related trope here; it even provides the page image for it. It also uses quite a lot of Shapeshifting, and Urban Fantasy Tropes (to the point of being a Fantasy Kitchen Sink). In fact, it uses enough tropes to make it not just onto the Trope Overdosed page but enough to reach Trope Overloaded, a tier practically exclusive to franchises and works spanning multiple media types. In terms of trope density, it has about 3/4ths the number of tropes to actual strips. Put another way, on average, you will encounter about three unique tropes for every four strips you read. This, combined with it's Archive Panic inducing number of strips means it is one of the most Troperiffic webcomics evernote even more so than Homestuck which has ~5500 tropes and 8130 pages for a trope to page density ratio of about 2/3rds and EGS doesn't have the benefit of animated pages or a soundtrack. | |

Chrono Trigger had almost every RPG cliché you can think of at the time it was released, such as rebellious princesses with mysterious pendants, Heroic Mimes who live with a single mom (no dad), are woken up by said mom to get ready for the fair, and Saving the World from the Eldritch Abomination...WITH TIME TRAVEL! Nevertheless, the story itself and the characters were praised by many for its brilliant usage of these clichés. Its successor, Chrono Cross, was less troperiffic than its predecessor, and that itself divided the fanbase on the game. | |

Team Fortress 2 throws all the unnecessary bits like plotting and storyline out and gives a varied, memorable cast who all have a very distinct but very expected way of kicking ass. It basically turns away from the modern notion of more "realistic" multiplayer FPS games for a full and complete embracing of the Rule of Fun. To put it differently, it caters to about a dozen different categories of tropes. Each of the nine characters has a trope-tastic personality and/or Backstory (The Heavy, The Demoman, as well as many weapons that apply for tropes (Batter Up!, Grievous Bottley Harm, Stuff Blowing Up, etc). In addition to first-person shooter tropes, it also has a few RPG/MMORPG tropes, with the class system and all. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. The two-part pilot draws from nearly every Magical Girl trope in the book. The rest of the series is a Slice of Life comedy with heavy Looney Tunes influences, numerous shout outs that the target demographic might not get, and An Aesop applied at the end of nearly every episode. It's also self-aware enough that it lampshades most of these tropes. Is it any wonder why this show got such a vocal Periphery Demographic? | |

Doctor Who is a show about a time travelling alien who fights other aliens in different times and places. It has used every science-fiction trope in the books, and even named some of them. Notable that in its 50 year run, it's not only used most sci-fi tropes, but also ones belonging to fantasy, historical fiction, horror and comedy. And that's not even touching on things like character tropes. | |

Jimmy Two-Shoes. The show is only two seasons long (52 episodes, each divided in Two Shorts) and fairly obscure (not as well known as Total Drama, but more popular than most Canadian cartoons), yet the page for it is filled with tropes and it's mentioned on dozens of Western Animation categories on trope pages (up there with The Simpsons and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic). | |

Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis sets up its High Fantasy premise very much like an RPG, with Arthur getting powers he doesn't understand from a mysterious mentor after his 'hometown' was destroyed, but his father may still be alive. He proves himself by fighting some low-level enemies that gains, him an ally, he meets the former ruler of a vast kingdom who asks for his help, challenges a rival early, and nearly has a Hopeless Boss Fight before a Heroic Second Wind. The second half of the series shifted genres to more traditional superhero fare, which had its own set of related tropes, acting like the second half of an RPG that shifts to science fiction. | |

Kill la Kill: A Hot-Blooded loner who fights against an established rule to avenge her father along with her wacky best friend, and gains a rival who's her complete opposite in every way. And that's just the beginning of the series; as it continues, it pours on even more tropes on top of the ones already established. Considering the works the directors have previously worked on, this was more than likely intentional. | |

Pretty much inevitable in Astro City, given the vast number of characters, events, locations, and throwaway references are used in the series, which is all fodder for deconstruction and reconstruction. The series is extremely casual with troperiffic topics, such as Earth being the only portal between the realms of the warring Frigions and Thermeons, or using a Time Crash Crisis Crossover as a background reference. Check out how extensive the main works page (and its various sub-pages) is. | |

The LEGO Movie's premise reads like every single The Hero's Journey cliché you can think of: Ridiculously Average Guy is told by the wise old man that he's actually prophesied as The Chosen One and joins up with a spunky Action Girl love interest to save the world from a hammy villain. And the film makes it all awesome. The fact that the entire story comes from, or at least is heavily influenced by, the imagination of a child also justifies all of it. | |

In Dragon Quest, all the cliches are mostly used as filler for what boils down to lighthearted adventuring. Except when they're used to tell genuinely gripping stories, widely held in high regard and close to fans' hearts. | |

Stellaris from Paradox Interactive liberally borrows ideas for units, technologies and civilisations from all kinds of science fiction and Space Opera works, such as Star Trek, Mass Effect, The Culture and Warhammer 40,000. And allows them to mix, mingle, and compete in an Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, whether by proxy through expiesnote the base game alone has human civilzations based on the Federation and the United Citizen Federation, the latter as a Lost Colony so the two can meet, and it's not too hard to design the Imperium of Man as well or, if the player uses Game Mods extensively, directly. | |

True Capitalist Radio is quite possibly the most trope rich political talk show of all time. This is largely thanks to its energetic and extremely short tempered host whose complicated and strong political views make him a prime target for the colorful Rogues Gallery of trolls that infest the show and attempt to set off one of his countless Berserk Buttons for their enjoyment. | |

Pretty Cure is a Cash-Cow Franchise with multiple Alternate Continuities that each star a bunch of Fist-Fighting Magical Girl Warriors with various Elemental Powers, Ridiculously Cute Critters as mascots, and many other Stock Superpowers across the huge lineup of diverse characters over the years. This is especially the case with later iterations since they also play to particular motifs which makes them have more tropes than usual: Flower Motifs in HeartCatch Pretty Cure!, Musical Theme Naming in Suite Pretty Cure ♪, Fairy Tale Motifs in Smile PreCure! and HappinessCharge Pretty Cure! note moreso the former than the latter , Playing Cards in Doki Doki! PreCure who also have the Seven Deadly Sins as villains, and Edible Theme Naming in KiraKira★Pretty Cure à la Mode and Delicious Party♡Pretty Cure. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: 31+ characters, each with some character-type of every form (some with many) used throughout Anime and Manga history: The Vampire (in victorian-styled clothes) stands atop a gothically designed building in the moonlight◊, the mercenary gunslinger uses Bizarre and Improbable Ballistics while charging massive bills for her services, The Medic wears a red-rimmed white outfit, the extremely shy librarian has privacy-invading mind-reading powers, and the main heroine has a magic-negating power and wields an Anti-Magic Paper Fan of Doom-turned-BFS, and that's just for starters. All set up in a universe that fully embraces Fantasy Kitchen Sink in a crazy boarding school, it plays every trope it explores well with irony, humour, wit and the occasional lampshade (sometimes to the point where no bulb is left bare). And Video Game references. Lots of Video Game references. | |

The Star Control series is innundated with an extensive variety of sci-fi tropes (in particular, the second game in the series, Star Control II / The Ur-Quan Masters). These games specialize in alternating between playing tropes straight and outright subverting or inverting them - keeping the player guessing at all times. | |

Children of Time. The basic construction of this series is like the 2005 format of Doctor Who — fitting, since it's a Crossover of Who, Sherlock Holmes, and Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century, with a good dose of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome. One of the two authors is a troper, and both authors thoroughly enjoy deconstructing and reconstructing various elements out of all three 'verses. The series has two seasons in varied stages of completion, sixteen episodes in further varied stages, and Recap pages that are pretty detailed (the season one finale page alone proves the series' troperiffic status). | |

The scene in Final Fantasy XIII when Snow and Fang rescue Lightning and Hope in Palumpolum pushes very hard to find out how many tropes you can pack into one minute: Lightning and Hope come across a huge screen that shows a live broadcast of the capture of two fugitives, which causes an Oh, Crap! moment as the camera zooms on them. Surrounded by a small army of soldiers and facing a Bolivian Army Ending, Lightning tells Hope to run while she makes her Heroic Sacrifice, while the commander reminds his troops of What Measure Is A Nonhuman. Even though There Was a Door, Boisterous Bruiser and Badass Longcoat Snow and Action Girl Fang arrive as the Big Damn Heroes. Snow points out that his Indy Ploy doesn't need a plan, makes a Gun Twirl, and starts Roof Hopping over the handrail. In mid-flight, he pulls out his Mon, giving us a nice Transformation Sequence with lots of Instant Runes and freezes the entire place with Instant Ice: Just Add Cold!. Then, he and Fang ride down the ice bridges on their Cool Bike, for Fang to shoot the TV camera. All in less than 2 minutes. | |

Merlin is this from season 1 to the beginning of season 3. Then, plots start becoming more complicated and less predictable, and less tropes played straight are involved, as most of the episodes feature twists and tropes merely subverted or deconstructed. | |

Burn Notice embraces a wide variety of tropes and proceeds to use, subvert, deconstruct, avert, and in general play with all of them. Sometimes the show follows a pretty clean formula for the individual stories, and unfortunately that is its main flaw. But in the narration, there are more than a dozen quotes you could use to describe an individual trope that are so specific you know they did it on purpose. | |

Space 1889 Given that the game is recreating Victorian style science fiction, it contains most of the tropes from those stories. The slogan is: “Role-Playing In A More Civilized Time. Everything Jules Verne should have written. Everything H. G. Wells could have written. Everything A. Conan Doyle thought of, but never published because it was too fantastic.� Since it is set in Victorian Era, it takes many of the tropes associated with that era. | |

Dark Souls and its sequels, Dark Souls II and Dark Souls III, milk just about every possible medieval fantasy trope and some more, increasingly so. Be it setting, characters, creatures, equipment and even weapons, these games don't spare any detail when making a vast world with an interesting lore. This is on top of bearing many references to FromSoftware's works in Demon's Souls and the Armored Core franchise, as well as incorporating countless Nintendo Hard elements. | |

Happy Heroes has the benefit of being equal parts a sci-fi and comedy series, and thus employing a lot of tropes related to both genres. Besides that, though, it will throw tropes from other genres into the mix sometimes (such as the Supermen entering a fantasy world, complete with a wizard as an Arc Villain, in Season 8). Besides that, it will also get laughs out of viewers by spoofing or lampshading whatever it sees fit, with at least one episode going as far as to lampoon how simplistic the characters' lip movements are. | |
