Hello everyone, and welcome back to Best of the Trope!

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 the next day 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:
Lean and Mean
Fat and Skinny
Identical Stranger
Kindhearted SImpleton
The Only One Allowed to Defeat You
Torch the Franchise and Run
Trash the Set
Grand Finale

Today's trope is Hostile Show Takeover. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HostileShowTakeover

A Hostile Show Takeover is an episode in which a (lead) character is somehow indisposed, and the rest of the cast scrambles to oust that character, taking over the role or pitching their own concept in a quickly created audition.

This probably requires the characters to actually be aware they're in a show, at least for that episode, but comes up in cartoons frequently.


TL,DR: Other characters try to take over the show from the main character.

Nominations:
Waluigi (Brawl in the Family)
Flowey (Undertale)
