Man, that was awesome." * Inverted: Something happened a long time ago that everyone seems to know about but Bob; Bob gets frustrated because nobody will tell him the full story. * Subverted: Bob asks Alice about a certain time they shared together. In reality, there was no time spent together - Bob is testing to see if Alice is an impostor. * Double Subverted: It actually was the real Alice, she had mistaken Bob's contrived event for a real one that they actually spent together. * Zig Zagged: No, wait, it was the impostor Alice after all. She just said all that to get herself off the hook. * Averted: Bob is lying; the event never actually happened. * The incident is told in full detail; nothing spared. * Deconstructed: Bob really cannot remember most of the event, so we're stuck with what he does know. * Enforced: A scene is too violent/dirty/controversial/boring to be shown in full detail, so the writers are told to only make reference to it. * Lampshaded: "Why don't you ever elaborate on these stories, anyway?" * Invoked: A prophet tells Bob to come back in ten years. (The story takes place ten years later, with fleeting references to why Bob is venturing to see the prophet.) * Exploited: A villian does something terrible to Bob, knowing that Bob will remember it forever and tell all his friends how evil he really is. * Defied: "No, Bob. Just no. We're all a team here, so if you have some experience with this you'd better tell us all of it." * Discussed: "Look, Bob and I have been through a lot together. We often reference things that happened before you showed up - we understand if that makes you feel a bit left out." * Conversed: "Are we ever going to find out what Bob is talking about? The suspense is killing me!" * Played For Laughs: see Parodied. * Played For Drama: Bob did something unspeakably terrible before the start of the story. It comes back to bite him, one way or another. You remember that page, don't you? Good times...
