Interesting thread, Nate. But how can you have read that page you linked us to and still be consistently misspelling "trope"?

Um, I suppose I could call it a preference for the older-style spelling, where I think "troupe" would be fully acceptable. I could, but I can't. I suppose I could also say "I'm an engineer, not a grammatician!", but then again, I just did.
 Chalk it up to post-college spelling slide. Then again, maybe I've devoted so much of my mind to finding fault in the grammar of others that spelling has to take a back seat.

So as of this time "characters mocking the plot they're in" remains number one. I'm not in the least surprised.
Nor is Gak in second place surprising. It's gotta be one of our favorite sound effects. I just regret that Kablazmo isn't used more often by the fivists. It's such a shame that the DS9 episodes that I've fived really don't have any ships blowing up, or I'd use it myself.

It's gotta be mocking plots. Of course, I Five Rockman EXE, and it's just too easy to do that. Where else can you find giant psychedelic radiation fields that, when combined with an appropriate data chip, cause ordinary humans to sprout armor and grow beam sabers or guns on their hands?
(Zeke and Mav know exactly what I'm talking about, and for the rest of you, I swear I'm not making this up.)

I'm a little surprised you didn't include "geeky references" or "excreable puns" among the options.
Note: turns out "excreable" doesn't mean quite what I thought it did, but its actual meaning will do in this context.

Re geeky references: Okay, yeah, that should've been there.
Re puns: Ditto. Maybe I should recalibrate the poll, huh? I've seen Megaman NT Warrior, so I've seen my share of Crossfusions. Still don't get how they're supposed to help. I think that the implication is that the closer the link and the shorter the reaction between NetOp and NetNavi, the better the results. Oh, and remember that since all of that stuff is holographic, it's no weirder than the monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh.
