If you’re not familiar with the TV Tropes Wiki, it’s where obsessive media fans name and catalogue every phenomenon that occurs on their favorite shows, movies, and web series. It is, in other words, the antithesis of creativity, in that it seeks to pin and label creative work down like so many chloroformed butterflies. Now, finally, some crazed TV Tropes editor has caught us in her net, and made a somewhat-comprehensive list of “tropes” that appear in Olde English sketches. I can’t claim to understand a fucking word of it, but hey — I appreciate the effort.
