'''All The Tropes''' is a community-edited [[wikipedia:Wiki|wiki]] website dedicated to discussing [[Creators]], [[Works]], and [[Tropes]] -- the people, projects and patterns of creative writing in all kinds of entertainment: television, literature, movies, video games, and more.<br> |
|||
And by all kinds of entertainment, we don't just mean English language content (especially just American English content), we want to cover and address all types of media from around the world and the tropes that media uses, as both tropes and the works that use them are universal.</translate> |

[[Tropes]] are tools of the trade for writers; They are devices and conventions that we the audience expect to see again and again. Whether tropes are [[cliche]] or just standard for the [[genre]] is largely a matter of writing quality and personal opinion. But tropes will always exist, as they often reflect life -- and we exist to document them, play with them, and generally have fun with them.</translate> |

This wiki is called All The Tropes because we want to accept discussion of patterns in all forms of media while keeping censorship to a minimum. We want to encourage creative thought, discuss new works, and welcome everyone to play around. This is not Wikipedia, this is a site for fans. |

This wiki is an English specific wiki, and our content may reflect a strong American bias due to the fact we forked from TV Tropes, which had a strong bias in that regard. If you would like to help us make a foreign language version of ATT or help improve our international appeal, please contact the ATT administrators and we'll be happy to provide any resources you may need.</translate> |

About This Wiki
|
Featured Article
Iconic multitalented comedian, author, actor, voice actor and innovative creator of advertising. Freberg was probably best known for his comedy recordings, most of which are considered classics today (although many will recognize his voice work on various vintage Warner Brothers' Looney Tunes cartoons, where he played characters including Tosh of the Goofy Gophers and the dimwitted Pete Puma). Starting with his record "John and Marsha" in 1951, Freberg created a seemingly-endless string of hit novelty records, in which he satirized everything from the pop music of the 1950s to the over-commercialization of Christmas to Lawrence Welk.
