No standing up to criminals story will ever match the one 4chan story of the guy who casually brushed off a guy with a knife because he didn't realize he was being mugged.
I did in fact take the "drinks acid, dies, final form is a skeleton" idea down for my dnd campaign, because that's fucking hilarious and actually could work for a lich or something
It makes me happy to see that there's a few people still lurking on this most recent video of theirs. I hope one of them reads this, because I really miss them. I was really crushed when the writing of Helluva Boss went downhill. It was a show I was really fond of and I thought I was the only one who thought something had gone absolutely awry with their writing. I had been subscribed to We Are Not Alive (Then Diregentleman) for a while because I loved their writing advice videos as well as Troper Fails. When they put out a video on the decline of the writing of Helluva, it was super therapeutic to know that someone out there actually agreed with me - especially with the venom some people in that fandom spit at those who disagree with them. I hope you guys return to content creation on here soon. Being able to hear from you guys every few weeks honestly kept me going during some of my hardest times in college and absolutely inspired me to keep writing my personal projects that I'd been working on. I hope there's gonna be a big leadup to some big extravaganza like the 8 hour Chuck Wendig video, but I know that'll probably not happen. So, Gus, Charlie, Meg, Addison, Charlie, Al, or whoever might be reading this, I look forward to your return. Even though you Are Not Alive, I really wish the channel comes back to life soon.
Hearing Meg say "kismesitude" was NOT the type of psychic damage I was expecting to take in this troper fails episode, but ultimately, I'm not complaining.

I want to make a fanfiction about this. Each episode has a main plot tying together a bunch of B-plots about this. The guests will show up every now and again to embody those tropes they have.
Not lying, had a dream you invited me onto the show where i thought i was going to be joining in on the fun of riffing on some piece of media. But then you guys just exclusively made fun of my marriage (i am not married???)
Speaking of Tucker Carlson, I noticed the sudden appearance of Swanson frozen chicken pot pies at my local grocer. He's falling back on his family business.😂
As for the first one, I did have one guy who I despised in elementary school, despite him being a completely friendly, normal person. I was a very social and sorta big-headed kid back in my 1st to 5th grade period (getting called by my parents as the "gifted kid" did not help me build a stable, well-kept ego), and there was another kid in my class a few grades ahead of my called Jordan. Jordan was a nice guy, athletic and pleased the teachers, so he had a lot of friends and favor from the school. However, he also got poor grades and struggled with things like math, while I was ahead of the class in it. Because my entire sense of self worth was built on being smart, seeing a much happier, more successful person in my class that was also not that smart made me fucking *livid*. I can't think of how many times I was straight up just a hater to him, especially when he didn't deserve it. I realized after I left that school that he was just a nice kid and I was being overly jealous of him, but I would say Jordan was my only "arch nemesis" in my life. Sorry for the long comment, I just felt compelled to share my tale of being a hater.
My boss is built like an i-beam, in that she's got very slim, long legs connected to a wide but narrow pelvis, and can also support weights exerting up to 325 pascals. It's a medical condition
That troper talk about the whole acidified karate instructor sounds like fucking Jeff The Killer origin story but edited a bit. Fucking Jeff the Killer Good Ending bullshit.
unrelated to the tropes but ur plugging kingmaker got me to put kingmaker in my rss feed and just found out u have series two planned n prepped!!!!! so glad to hear
As someone who has been experimenting with fashion lately, I feel called out by the awesome anachronic apparel. I'm working on learning to make my own clothes and have been looking at Edwardian/Victorian/Steampunk outfits as inspiration- both masculine and feminine. I guess that must be a common fashion source
Also I'm pretty comfortable with my gender. I just wanna dramatic fight with meg. Bonus point if sword ends up against someones neck, that shit is the asexual writers version of smut xD
9:35 As a Zoomer who burns his own CDs for use in Internet Deadzones, the idea of listening to CDs being an old person thing made me physically tense up.
I don't just want to steal this troper's gender. I've already stolen it. It's mine now. However, I am willing to give it to Meg. . . for a price. Edit: AMAL
28:50 Okay, but my tae kwan do instructor gave me a CMoA back when I was like 13. Once a blue moon, he would bring wooden planks for his students to break. I was never particularly good at breaking a board with my punches, but I was excellent at breaking boards with my kicks and quite proud of that _snap_ of a board getting kicked in half that I could produce. One day, he brought up a board for me to break... and my foot was just bouncing off. He let me try it like 5 times before he moved onto a senior student. I was beginning to spiral hard about it, but that immediately stopped when the senior student also couldn't break it. Eventually, the instructor stops the class and has me hold the board. He punches it twice more, and I feel it rattle hard in my hand, but it doesn't even crack. So, he grabs the board out of my hand, extends the board out as far as his arms can reach, rears his head back, and brings it all back together to *HEADBUTT THE BOARD*. And that finally does it. The board doesn't break in half, it splinters into multiple chunks. My instructor's day job was (and still is) a nature biologist, so he immediately deduced that the wood had gotten wet at some point between chopped tree and buying it, causing the fibers to swell, and making his entire class look like wusses. 😂
I am so stupid I get mad when people say I'm smart or it's spite over my Gifted child syndrome I had but the former is funny while the more likely latter is sad so
I, EmIsInYourWalls, small-time Kingmaker fanartist and inexplicable Meg Tuten Instagram mutual, declare that I will stand to fight Meg Tuten for this troper’s gender! Why, you may ask? 1st As an AMAB gender-fluid person who dresses like a Victorian lady need my mirror version back and 2nd Probably just trans reasons because damn!
A film/video. It stars Neil Patrick Harris as Doctor Horrible, a supervillain who wishes to be recognized by the greatest villains in the world, the Evil League of Evil. He is opposed by the hero Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion) and motivated by the civilian Penny (Felicia Day). Also it's a musical, and the dude from the Big Bang Theory is there.
The last 24 hours have consisted of perhaps the worst panic attacks in an age. Agony. Truely. I am exhausted, in agony, and the preasure in my head is so intense it makes it visibly hard to focus. However. I am once again reminded of the autocannibalistic nature of self harm, the consumption of the self for the nurishment of the self, for consuming these nuggets of demonic smegma we find somehow a macarbe form of healing
Did anyone call for stupid? Because I have some! At least three hundredweights of stupid. It has become a real liability, since the recent stupid tax went to full power. Wannna take it? Please, take it, I'll do anything!
I'm just a dumb gal! But man these Troopers suck... The BEST anachronistic apparel is to look like a refugee from the 90's, covered in clashing neon, wearing everything a size or two larger then they should be and wearing sunglasses with colored lenses. Also for added cool dude points, grow out your hear and do something stupid to it, like picking it out, but then not styling it at all so its just a massive wavy pile of hair flying about in the wind when you walk.
No standing up to criminals story will ever match the one 4chan story of the guy who casually brushed off a guy with a knife because he didn't realize he was being mugged.
😊m😊😊 12:56 12:56 😊
On par with that one 4chan story about the guy who thought he saw a monster but when remembering he was white suddenly wasn't scared anymore.
"Nah sorry mate, I'm Australian" then causally walks past because he's too drunk to process the knifes.
@@jeffscrungle6179 "wait a minute... I'm White!" (walks away laughing to jaunty music)
I love that they specified that they can tie the bow tie "on command" - implying the existence of people who tie bow ties accidentally
Kinda relatable for someone who had a weird habit of tying knots all the time out of anxiety
I did in fact take the "drinks acid, dies, final form is a skeleton" idea down for my dnd campaign, because that's fucking hilarious and actually could work for a lich or something
I always imagined Jafeth wearing a very stereotypical villain costume, with like spikes and a cape and stuff, but then he wears light up sketchers.

I am stupid but also I know that Victorian=Sherlock Holmes. Edwardian=Bloodborne.
And when the world needed them most, they vanished.
They’re all probably working on the podcast
A few hundred weeks passed, and Gus appeared again on this channel, to discuss a video Folding Ideas made
The mint cookie one is genuinely sweet. Just a family of nerds who like making stories, just to amuse each other.

We are nto alive.... please come back... We need u
I miss them so much
Me too! They were my comfort creators.
I had a dream they uploaded a new troper fails last night
Just like that one person who posted about having dreamed The Nostalgia Critic uploaded.
The first person in Awesome Anachronistic Appeal is pretty cool. A shame she was killed in the great Gender stealing wars
Nah, her gender's like the One Ring. So long as it exists so to will she.
@@firewolfandrewb
Instead of turning you into a horrible gremlin it turns you tall and busty
@@kingbubbles9461 It's why it's so coveted.
I would fight alongside Meg to help them acquire that troper’s gender because honestly that’s what friends are for
thank you
I hope you guys will make more videos in the future :( fr this is one of my favourite channels
we are not alive? more like we are not uploading!!
Taking over the world with minty cookies? That’s just literally a Totally Spies episode. XD
I'm shocked nobody mentioned that the "Take Over The World Cookies" are basically just Thin Mints.
Meg's homestuck came out in this one
Anyone know why they’ve gone silent? I assume a big writing project, but something definitive would be nice.
I heard they are making exclusive patreon videos for the time being.
Not lying, had a dream you invited me onto the show where i thought i was going to be joining in on the fun of riffing on some piece of media. But then you guys just exclusively made fun of my marriage (i am not married???)
and then batman was there. wakkin and yackin it.
@@ASCZPictures 😔
@SteamyTheSteamPunkbut it wasn't very gorey because I'm a tad bit squimish
You know what they say! Never bring a bottle of acid to a shotgun fight.
WRITERS IM SORRY I NEGLECTED YOU, OH I NEVER EXPECTED YOU TO RUN AWAY AND LEAVE ME FEELING THIS EMPTYYYYY
Speaking of Tucker Carlson, I noticed the sudden appearance of Swanson frozen chicken pot pies at my local grocer. He's falling back on his family business.😂
guys how long has henry been this dapper tickle monster ghost for???? drank some bulletproof coffee and fell into a butter induced coma
The last two episodes of Troper Fails, at least. There’s a pinned comment about it in the Wakko and Yakko episode.
@@SirDanFilmsUnltd oh yeah that’s cool gonna miss the lizard dude though
As a dabbling Troper, I am just gonna say, how dare you say something so bold yet so true.
As for the first one, I did have one guy who I despised in elementary school, despite him being a completely friendly, normal person.

Rawr
i do not want to steal that troper's gender but i do want to kidnap their significant other and take their place.
Little did Meg know that the gender she was stealing belonged to a Cloudcuckoolander. Will Meg survive Doom Slayer Addison's wrath?
That troper talk about the whole acidified karate instructor sounds like fucking Jeff The Killer origin story but edited a bit. Fucking Jeff the Killer Good Ending bullshit.
His missing eye socket is filled with a hōgyoku.
unrelated to the tropes but ur plugging kingmaker got me to put kingmaker in my rss feed and just found out u have series two planned n prepped!!!!! so glad to hear
i like that he isn’t a snake person anymore
i'm agender, not a fighter, but i'll give myself a pass this one time
Immensely underrated comment
The channel really is not alive they aint lying
Hearing meg make a Homestuck reference scared the shit out of me
good.
Scared of Homestuck? smh
@@ASCZPictures a fuck another jumpscare
As someone who has been experimenting with fashion lately, I feel called out by the awesome anachronic apparel. I'm working on learning to make my own clothes and have been looking at Edwardian/Victorian/Steampunk outfits as inspiration- both masculine and feminine. I guess that must be a common fashion source
Beware of people trying to mug you for your gender... But have fun!
@@d_camara Why would I- *checks to find pockets are empty* My gender!
ngl the first time i heard the word anachronistic wondering what it meant,it was just people wearing old timey clothes
This series gives me life (I have a very sad life)
Big mood.
Mood
Little mood
felt this
(Secret variably-sized mood unlocked)
Also I'm pretty comfortable with my gender. I just wanna dramatic fight with meg. Bonus point if sword ends up against someones neck, that shit is the asexual writers version of smut xD
i'll pummel you into a fine mist
I would obliterate Meg for the troper's gender, i don't care about their cosmic horror superpowers, i must win this death battle
i'm atomising your lungs, buddy
So, what happened to these guys? Did they get busy on writing gigs or something
Probably caught up with irl work or something like that. They are [Three] Professional Writers after all.
incredible of henry to say troper fails is the worst show when splingeboob babbaboeys exists
it took me a couple of videos, but henry's new avatar has grown on me. marley from a christmas story vibes
We all enter our final form when we melt into the mud from whence we came
This trooper is boosting the algorithm
you cannot just drop the homestuck reference at arch enemy bro..
watch me
Miss your videos, man :(
11:40 I don't have gender envy, I have gender lust and gender greed. I want someone like them and I want someone like them in my irl dnd party.
Watch out for Gender Wrath. Gender Sloth and Gluttony are cool, though, so I’d stick with them.
9:35 As a Zoomer who burns his own CDs for use in Internet Deadzones, the idea of listening to CDs being an old person thing made me physically tense up.
CDEEZ NUTS
The muggers of Trope City exclusively use clubs in their muggings.
I would respectfully share the gender with Meg. Good (as in fascinating/creative) genders are for everyone
I tried to preorder that woman's gender, but unfortunately scalpers got them all and are upselling on ebay 😔
I was the scalpers
I don't just want to steal this troper's gender. I've already stolen it. It's mine now. However, I am willing to give it to Meg. . . for a price.
Edit: AMAL
After listening to all episodes of this I have to say that making fun of children and the autistic never goes out of style I guess.
I would not fight Meg for the gender because I am perhaps the only other person in the world with that same gender.
You’d better run before Meg finds you too
Start running, every second you aren't running they're getting closer, they're after your gender.
I'm in your walls right now
I have never been so honored in my life.
That gender is mine Meg, HAVE AT YEE!!
(I'm behind you suddenly with a knife) heh. nothin personell, kid.
It's been five months now........... where did they go?
28:50

hey. hey meg. hey meg why do you know was "kismesissitude " means
Exactly
EXACTLY
homestuck was wildly popular at my high school and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't.
The way it made me fucking double take
Where'd you guys go?
I am so stupid I get mad when people say I'm smart or it's spite over my Gifted child syndrome I had but the former is funny while the more likely latter is sad so
So, how about Helluva Boss lately?
The last story in this and the escalation of the gags you did was perfect Jesus christ
Ngl, now I’m just imagining a bidding war over The Gender because I wanna fight for it too
i'll destroy you
I am just too self absorbed to come up with a decent comment. Anyway, this one is for the algorithm.
Happy birthday most recent episode of troper fails, maybe one day this series will return or not
Commented to say that I was too stupid to figure out how to leave a comment. When I figure it out, I'll let you know.
I’m stupid
27:04 also this is really weird because there’s a T-square in this story and like less than an hour ago I actually bought a T-square
I would fight Meg for the anachronist gender without regret or mercy
And they never uploaded again :(

However. I am once again reminded of the autocannibalistic nature of self harm, the consumption of the self for the nurishment of the self, for consuming these nuggets of demonic smegma we find somehow a macarbe form of healing
Did I just dream the announcement they were coming back
Did anyone call for stupid? Because I have some! At least three hundredweights of stupid. It has become a real liability, since the recent stupid tax went to full power. Wannna take it? Please, take it, I'll do anything!
i’m stupid thats why i can’t do the dishes without listening to troper fails
Yes, I would fight for the gender. See me at the the Denny's parking lot tomorrow at midnight. Bring your best weapon!
they're gonna need dental records to identify you mate
*Does anyone know the way? There's got to be a way to BLOCKBLUSTER*
Will you talk about the latest helluva boss episode
I guess most of these were written by teenagers, but I do wonder if there was couple thirty years old mixed in writing these without any irony :'D
i will battle meg for the gender and probably lose but i'm going to try my hardest and that's what matters at the end of the day
