Beware, once you go in, you might never come out.

If you were given a choice of one TV Trope for your personal life. What would you choose?

For example, Deus Ex Machinas, late for a meeting? No problem! a Helicopter appears out of no where. Forgot to buy your girlfriend a gift? Flowers rain from the sky.

or Exploding cars, when you see an accident on the road, two cars bumping into each other. They explode.

Or you could be the male lead in a japanese harem anime

Nice and simple, I would just want Earn Your Happy Ending to be true for me.
Either that, or Crowning Moment of Awesome, 24/7. Awwwwwwww, YEAH.

Wonder how many people are going to say they'd have gone for "Deadpan Snarker" if they weren't one already?

As for myself.... Angrish Talkative Loon Noodle Implements Laughing Mad
...crap.

Screw it, Crowning Moment of Funny.

Either Deus Ex Machinas (for reasons stated above), Crowning Moments Of Whatever...

...but most likely, BEYOND THE IMPOSSIBLE! KA-BOOM! Living Beyond The Impossible would be awesomest thing ever. Try to beat this one.

No; I generally just go to the page that's linked, read it and then quit. The secret is to not keep opening tabs.

Edit: and living a life filled with Deus Ex Machinas would be pretty fun.

I want a wacky womanizing neighbor who constantly barges in to tell me about his new get-rich-quick schemes or about his most recent sexual conquest, as well as casting disparages on my sexuality for not harassing women in a similar manner.

i.e. Larry from Three's Company or Quagmire from Family Guy

I would probably have to say I'm subject to either the 'Gentle Giant' or 'Genius Bruiser' (I'm big, I'm somewhat intelligent and last time I checked, I'm a guy).

Yes

OT: I don't know if this is a trope, but Time passing. The device used to cut out the uninteresting part of a task (such as driving somewhere, waiting for something to cook, or building something) when a montage would be too dull.

Example (without Time passes):

"Hey they're giving away free Ice cream in town let's go get some!"

gets in car, and drives for an hour, gets stuck in traffic, searches for a parking spot, walks the 10 miles from parking spot to Ice Cream store

Gets Ice Cream


Example (with Time passes):

"Hey they're giving away free Ice cream in town let's go get some!"

<spoiler=Time Passes>


Gets Ice cream

The Captain Scarlet time passing/scene change method would also be acceptable.

This would be nice, though it would be more "Victorious Grammar School Friend" in my case.

Throw in Badass Normal and Crowning Moment Of Awesome and I would be one happy guy.

It would be the Crowning Moment of Awesome, of course. Although I have to say that the Deus Ex Machina would be very useful...

Probably go for Crowning Moment of Awesome

My own personal Trope is Exothermic Awesome

Awesome is Exothermic. This is why in scenes containing highly-pumped scenes of combat, thrill or simple adrenaline, things nearby explode for no good reason, especially when uncalled for.

"Rule of cool" I would love to live in a world where nothing makes sense but it doesn't matter because everything looks cool.

"Why is that giant robot fighting a ninja bunny?"

My response: "The same reason I'm doing lightning fast backflips in place, it looks cool"
