Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Hilarious Spoilers Ahead!!!

  • During the climactic mech suit battle, Wikus uses the mech's gravity gun-like weapon to pick up a dead pig and fire it at a soldier.
  • The incredibly obviously photoshopped picture of Wikus having sex with a Prawn prostitute.
  • FOOK!
  • Wikus trying to win over Christopher's son with a lollipop "sweetie," only to have the little guy bean him in the head with it!
  • At one point during the evictions, Wikus and the soldiers confront a Prawn wearing a propeller hat. There's something innately funny about a freaky, seven-foot-tall alien bug creature with a little spinning pinwheel perched on its head.
    • For this troper it was the one who was wearing...I don't know if it was a tank top or a bra but it was pink.
  • "Baby, listen, I might have crapped in my pants--" "SURPRISE!". Followed by Wikus desperately trying to reach the toilet but being repeatedly accosted by various people who want to talk to him.
Cquote1

 Wikus: I might have crapped in my pants--

SURPRISE!

Wikus: (craps in pants again)

Cquote2
  • The conversation between Wikus and Christopher Johnson as they break into MNU.
Cquote1

 Christopher Johnson: I thought you said not to kill them?

Wikus Van De Merwe: He shot at me!

Cquote2
  • Wikus's mother in her closing interview, acting put upon for everything her son has suffered: "Wikus, sadly, is gone... (sighs) But I'm the one who stays behind with all the questions. I can't give the answers."
  • Wikus stumbles into CJ's shack--battered, bloodied and carrying an ax--and tries to convince CJ to let him hide out. And Little CJ falls for the ruse.
Cquote1

 Wikus: (frantic) Okay, please, I-I need your help! Shhhh! (to Little CJ) Okay, we're gonna play 'hide and seek'!

Little CJ: (excited) Yes! Yes!

CJ: No, get back.

  • "Is that tear-gas?" "No, it's cat food." The tone clinches it.
  • "You hid this under your shack for twenty years!!! This is ... this is very illegal! There's a fine."
  • The automated instructions in the MNU vehicles: "When dealing with aliens, try to be polite, but firm. And always remember that a smile is cheaper than a bullet."
  • When the Prawn mothership experiences a power surge, it emits a single, brief hum that lasts less than a second--and blows out every window in the city.
    • And a bit later, it lets out another and sets off every car alarm in the city simultaneously.
