Better than the old trope about it being exotic and exciting to shag in the lavvy on a plane. You could be crammed in there with Salma Hayek, but the overpowering stench of piss and shit in a tiny cupboard coated in coliform bacteria might put a dampener on things. Anyone claiming to have enjoyed joining the Mile High club is essentially admitting they're turned on by jobbies and wee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgusting green shite all up his back. I took him to the bog to change him and it was near impossible. Like trying to do it ian a cupboard, except this cupboard had wet pish all over the walls and floor. It put me off aeroplane sex with Salma Hayek for life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Raccoon Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Probably been mentioned before but of a couple has been having sex off camera, to show they've been having sex they'll come down stairs still getting dressed rather than getting dressed in the bedroom like normal people. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChilliTomatoSoup Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 How about historical tropes due to TV technologies/fashions/sensibilities? 1. People moving their faces together, when angry, so that the camera can zoom in for the 4:3 format to capture the moment. 2. The romantic transition of two people kissing, camera panning away, fading then the two waking up in bed (smoking a cigarette being optional). 3. Jaunty camera angles in late 1960s 35mm TV shows (think The Avengers or Batman) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocketman Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Adult invariably crouches down/goes down on knees to have a heartfelt conversation with a child - basically to allow both their heads to appear in the same frame in the next shot. Americans will also happily refer to their child as "sport", "bud" or 'champ" in most tv productions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I saw a film where someone did the "Hello?...HELLO?!" thing while the disconnect tone played, only for it to turn out that the other person was mimicking it, presumably to lampshade this trope. Elsewhere, someone saw Harrison Ford hanging on to a ledge and thought he was really, really good at it. Temple of Doom came on the telly the day before I saw Blade Runner again and I briefly went through the films I've seen where he's done this - got to six without difficulty. I guess it must have been a running gag in the Indiana Jones films that I'd missed until now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Character sitting in his flat apartment when there's a knock at the door. He calls out, "Come in!" and the visitor enters. Who leaves their front door unlocked, especially in America? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Somebody is in their home and there is knock on the door or the doorbell rings. They say "oh great", have a big smile on their face and rush to the door. This makes it obvious when they open the door it will be the villain instead of the person they were expecting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
