The Blue Performer(Blue circus master outfit, grey mask with blue eyes, brown and blond mixed hair, and a staff with a pink sphere on it.) jumped into the middle of a blue, star shaped platform. He raised his staff into the air, "Hello everyone! I have promised to bring you a top ten worst tropes list and I try to keep my promises."
The star shaped platform rose up and revealed a variety of circus equipment, "As the title implies, this will be a ten chapter, not counting this prologue, story with a brief parody of the trope in question."
A doll version of Jaune Arc with knives in it dropped down next to BP, "Here's the gist of it. I'll be using characters from a show that fits the trope in question and the circumstance that surrounds it."
The Performer hit the Jaune doll with his staff, "Don't worry. It won't be these crappy dolls."
He held his hand to his chest, "After the short, moi will put forth an explanation about my dislike of the trope in question."
He spun his staff around before planting it into the ground, "The categories for this list aren't air tight, but there's some minor rules. Rule one, I will be using the names TvTropes uses for each trope."
He rose his index and middle fingers, "Rule two, there won't be any video game mechanic tropes. I prefer to focus on story based tropes. However, everything else is fair game."
Green, humanoid holograms appeared around him, "That's about it. The real show will begin in a couple of days."
"Also, a quick disclaimer. Not even good shows, books, or movies are immune to these tropes. That does not make these shows bad by default. Some of these tropes exist because someone took them and made them work. Cliches are not good, they are not bad, they are just tools of story telling. In addition, please remember that this is all just my personal opinion. If you do like any of the tropes on this list, that is not a bad thing. You are welcomed to have your own opinion on this subject.
