The TV Tropes Wikipedia

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage

This website, is quite simply, brilliant.
With more links in every example than uncyclopedia, more interesting than wikipedia, and by far funnier than sickipedia! It's basically a list of every cliche, writers crutch, possible ending/plot/hero/hero team/villain/character/situation known to man.

I must express a warning though, read too much and it WILL spoil any TV/film/book/game/anime (if you're a fucked up Japanese wannabe kid) you like by pointing out how hideously contrived the stories are.


The banner also has a lampshade, A LAMPSHADE PEOPLE!
(See here to understand what I mean, and also a clip of my V. favourite webcomic in the world.)

Some other good ones to look for:
Sliding Scale of Idealism Vs Cynicism
Five man Band
Patrick Stewart Speech
Dirty Communists
(A Song of Ice and Fire, but thats only because I'm hooked on those books right now).


Anyway, uhh, back to searching through it. :D
