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.
Karma Houdini: Rule of Funny usually dictates that she gets off scot-free. But there are a few occasions where she's outwitted.
Madden Into Misanthropy: It's implied that three things helped complete Mandy's metamorphosis into the cynical tyrant we all know and love: The realization that her beloved unicorn toys were being churned out daily by a factory, Mindy's inane, meaningless prattle, and having to deal with Billy every single day of her life.
Cute Monster Boy: He's just your typical nerd... Who happens to be amumpire. Played a bit straighter in Underfist, where he actually looks the part for most of the movie.
Nice Guy: Compared to most of the other characters, at least. He's not nearly as malicious as others, and even his worsedeeds derive from the mistreatment he suffers.
Big Bad: Of the first movie (interviews with Maxwell stated that Wrath of Khan was what inspired him to use him since he appeared in only one episode). He was also indirectly responsible for the events in the second one.
Humiliation Conga: What happens to him in the climax of the first film. It is so too much for him that the epilogue states that he got completely traumatized for life.
Jaded Washout: He tends to boast he used to be way scarier than Grim in their highschool years, but nowadays he is just a second-rate monster that can't even scare one single child (except Irwin).
Eldritch Abomination: He's a black creature from the center of the earth with electric tentacles (some of which have mouths), removable organs and the ability to turn people into members of his kind.
Eldritch Abomination: Even more so than his father; he can shapeshift, walk through walls, spawn bat-like imps from his body and freeze people in supernatural stasis.
Disproportionate Retribution: The members of his own town saw to it he was executed just because he didn't know when to stop pranking them. Pretty dark, given the silliness of the show in general.
Who Wants to Live Forever?: "Three hundred and sixty-four days a year, I can't even go the the Ding-Dong Grocery Store to buy pudding. And do you know why?"
Dracula[]
Expy: Of Blacula, the joke being he bears his name despite not looking at all what most media make of him. For extra Hilarious in Hindsight, in the Blacula movie Dracula is the one turns Blacula.
