Here are the rules. Each day, I will post a trope from TV Tropes, and each poster can name up to three examples of that trope. Whichever nomination gets the most mentions wins! Posters may also name as many Honourable Mentions as they like, but they are purely optional and will not count towards the running score. You may look at the TV Tropes page for that day's trope for examples, but you do not have to pick all your examples from the page. You can nominate whatever examples you like, as long as they qualify for the trope. Each trope will last around 24 hours before the next one goes up. In the event of a tie between 4 or more nominations, a tiebreaker poll will be run at a later date to determine a winner. Posters may also nominate any tropes they wish to see come up during the series. This is optional, and you don't have to do it every day, or at all. Tropes will be randomly selected from the list each day, except for some occasions where I will pick a thematically appropriate trope that may or may not be on the list. Here's the list of previous tropes, so if you wish to nominate some tropes, check on here that it wasn't previously done. http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Best_of_the_Trope Trope list: Mentor Occupational Hazard Lean and Mean Fat and Skinny Names to Run Away From Really Fast Oddball Doppelganger Identical Stranger Mood Whiplash Hostile Show Takeover The Only One Allowed to Defeat You Torch the Franchise and Run Trash the Set Grand Finale <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:924556626] in Best of th...

GavsEvans123 07/11/19 5:30:39 PM #3:	Today's trope is Fat B****. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FatBastard Also called fatbastarditis. Once a television character reaches a certain level of tubbiness, the show they are in will lose sympathy for them. It is generally assumed that overweight people are either pathetic, obnoxious losers or greedy hedonistic Corrupt Corporate Executives. They also tend to be portrayed as ludicrously obsessive eaters. Furthermore, most are portrayed as lazy, having poor hygiene, bad grooming, and no fashion sense. Glandular conditions, genetic tendencies, a natural endomorph body type, low metabolism, and weight gain as a side effect of prescription drugs are treated as lame excuses alongside the "I'm just big-boned" mold. This trend first shows up with the introduction of synthetic, high-fat foods in the early twentieth century, which enabled people from most social classes to gain weight quickly. Prior to that point, being fat was considered high fashionexamples include Adipose Rex and how having a fat wife proved that the Railroad Baron had enough money to feed her a lot. Nowadays, obesity is more associated with the poor, as processed food is far cheaper than healthier alternatives. Hence how we can go from the Santa Claus character type of rich and jolly to the modern character type of greedy, lazy, and evil. TL,DR: These characters are as unpleasant as they are overweight. Nominations: Fat B** (Austin Powers) Billy Bunter (Greyfriars) Garbageman (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003) Honourable Mentions: Mr Creosote (Monty Python's The Meaning of Life) Krew (Jak II) Dennis Nedry (Jurassic Park) Augustus Gloop (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) Lots of good choices for this one, I could be here all day! <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:924556817] in Best of th...
