Be careful with that site, because TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life. That said, there is a surprising amount of insight on TV Tropes. I often go there when a book or anime or whatever piques my interest, to see whether it's something I'd really enjoy.
Some of my favorite tropes are Stupid Jetpack Hitler, Crapsaccharine World, and Trauma Conga Line.
Goodbye, I guess.

I can easily waste hours on that web site without realizing it. You're reading about one thing, see something else of interest, click on it, repeat. It's like eating potato chips - you can't stop at just one.

I used to be a life-ruined Troper, but the site's falling to pieces now. Long story short, the admin has gone completely crazy, everyone with anything resembling insight has been driven off and the community has turned into a total hugbox, in the worst sense of the term. There's still good pages left, but I can't help but cringe at seeing what the place is turning into.
so the Destruction of TVTropes saved your life?
I have been reading through the TV Tropes list of stereotypes for heros and villains. Some of them give me a laugh or make me smile. The minion listing is great showing how many ways writers have tried to make cannon fodder interesting.
Some of my favorite sections are Hannibal Lecture(and the why you suck speech), Action Mom, Yardies, Just You Me and My Guards, and Make the Bear Angry Again. I am tempted to write a pointless MA Arc just to fill it with Renegade Russians or British Mobsters.
