All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXXII - Bob Schroeck - 07-14-2025

And once again, it's time for a new ATT thread. The last thread can be found here.

Just a heads-up -- we need to keep an eye on Batata. They've been demonstrating a habit of creating redlinks by just marking up things they think ought to be tropes -- like "sexual innuendo" and "toplessnesses" (sic). They are clearly also not bothering to look anything up to confirm it exists -- I just had to correct a link to "black plague" to our existing page "The Black Death".

I also noticed - and fixed - their potholing "Yakov Smirnoff" (who we have a page for) to "Russian Reversal", a redirect to a trope that said creator popularized.

A quick note that Miraheze has now hit its 10th anniversary, which means that ATT has been hosted there for roughly 9¾ months.  Anyone wanting to share birthday wishes or cake images can edit this page.

What's our trope for a character who was inspired by a real person? I want to add this 2019 reveal to Back to the Future (film)/Trivia.

No Celebrities Were Harmed is the trope adequated for this.

And from where I come from, "reveals" like these are called parody retcons(oh yeah, A Serbian Film was totally about Rocco Siffedri, wink wink). But if you really believe those words are honest and it is not a publicity stunt, well, do it.
