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: Fat and Skinny Identical Stranger Kindhearted SImpleton The Only One Allowed to Defeat You The Woobie Trauma Conga Line Humiliation Conga Evil Costume Switch Torch the Franchise and Run Trash the Set Grand Finale ...

Today's trope is Lean and Mean. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LeanAndMean
Black robes not fitting properly? Just try being a little more evil! Kicking puppies is good exercise after all! And don't worry about those meals you skip while you're scheming to take over the kingdom. Yes, the combination of your new villainous lifestyle and the laws of narrative causality will make those annoying extra pounds vanish before you can say "Are they even feeding Yzma?" Sometimes used for an explanation, where the villain is nasty and vicious because she's so hungry. Very common among fashion-oriented shows to explain why the size 0 model is so cranky. Also, they can be the Thin in the Big, Thin, Short Trio when being an evil group to contrast with the fuller member and the squat member. TL,DR: A thin villain, either unrealistically thin or simply thinner than the heroes. Nominations: Slenderman Mrs Tweedy (Chicken Run) Judge Death (Judge Dredd) ... Copied to Clipboard!
