This Troper EP 43: Crazy Prepared (TV Tropes)

[hiverhythm]

this troper has at last one lethal object in his possesion

aT aLl tImez

[lalalalucius]

...Well, at least I don't feel too paranoid anymore.

Though the guy that's training himself to memorize objects by touch isn't too weird. I can do that, though it wasn't because I specifically trained myself to do it. THEN AGAIN, maybe it is a little weird because isn't identifying objects by touch a natural ability that most humans have? ...You guys can tell what you have in your hands when you're holding something, right?

"This troper isn't prepared for anything other than the Steam store closing for maintainance (spoiler: kill myself)."

- The truth behind all of these.

[killroyfubar]

I don't think reading about it online equates "expert." And aren't sutures and stitches the same thing? God I love this channel

[BluBoulzor]

That recognizing objects by touch guy is badass. I liked how most of these are taking seriously on the site. Some of these responses are hilarious. The anti suicide note could make sense but it does not. Another full of himself bastard. That last guy is just another attention whore. He wents to look cool like his videos games characters and Batman.

[SpraxIAKS]

@BluBoulzor He must have pretty BAD eyesight.

[CommissarRed]

"I have an anti suicide note hidden away" At first I thought he meant like an note to deter a suicide attempt like a list of all the good things in life or something. Which while a little creepy would be a good thing for someone with depression to have. "In case, someone murders me and tries to make it look like suicide" oh.... wait what?

[FantasyAdventuress]

@XPsychoBurgundyX I completely agree. Does he really think that anyone is going to actually believe that he is skilled in 10 different martial arts, capable of piloting every single type of vehicle known to man, a linguist, an herbalist, a welder, locksmith, gunsmith, security expert, marksman, survivalist, equestrian, navigator, chemist, engineer, pyrotechnician, and a fraking DOCTOR!? And when would 90% of his "skills" even be applicable?

1:04 Read below = best post on TvTropes.

[hunterwolf53]

Can someone tell me the name of the song in the background? (I know I'm supposed to know it but suddenly I can't remember.)

[TVfan296]

@hunterwolf53, Gnarls Barkley, "Crazy ", your welcome :3

[tissuekins]

These fuckers are crazy, but not prepared

[mrdarksnake128]

The Call of Duty comment was the best.

[EchoEnder]

I like the sarcastic responses:

"Got any more tips for surviving fictional situations?"

[pwninator345]

Okay, I prepare in case severe weather hits my town and various other situations that could actually happen, but when you get to the point where you prepare for the zombie apocalypse, you lose life and should be natural selection'd out of existence.

[evarhadyashitpusedin]

"I'm crazy prepared that I have a monkey suit to wear in case the chimpocalypse happens" and yet you weren't crazy prepared to deal with life, hence the reason why you write that in a basement alone.

[moneymandate]

If you spend your time making plans for a zombie apocalypse, it's time to go the fuck outside.

[Ultron117]

This is true Nightmare Fuel.

[Dryued]

Nice voice acting. =D

[enoughtalkhaveatyou]

"Dealing with BFF's exes"

Never change, TVTropes.

[MacDaddyNook]

My head hurts every time I hear some moron spout on about zombie apocalypses as if such a thing were anywhere near the realm of possibility.

[ig88bc]

The opening sums up the entire video.

[bmcprime]

I just noticed these are all 100% better if you imagine them as being actually written in the third person, and if you imagine it as an entry interview for an involuntary commitment/sectioning it kind of helps restore faith in humanity a little.

[mastokeen]

So the guy that wanted to be Batman got his training it seems from... GTA,COD, and anarchist cookbook or some other crappy DIY book

[Delcat42]

All I'm coming away from this with is the fact that parser games gave kids obsessions with never dumping anything out of their "inventory" like Tiny Toons gave kids obsessions with...fucking everything, if you read Fetish Fuel. We may be laughing now, but wait until humanity hits the last eighth of the game and we NEEDED that fish hook and lump of wax, THEN we'll see who's laughing.

[kklol7]

A krugerrand? Really? South African gold coins? What kind of moron would think that a coin made of useless metal would be worth ANYTHING if the economy has completely collapsed?

[bmcprime]

@kklol7 Well, in the rare event gold drops below its current absurdly overinflated value (even relative to a period in which its commodity value was backed by the state), we have the unimpeachable authority of post-apocalyptic South Africa to fall back on.

[loldude83]

@kklol7 Hey man, what are you talking about?

Gold is useful in so many ways, imagine this; you're in a life or death situation:

There's a crazed madman with an ax chasing after you, you take a gold coin of your pocket and shine the sun's reflection in his eyes, temporarily blinding him, then, while distracted, you quickly throw the coin as a ninja star, decapitating him in one clean slice, it then, of course, boomerangs back to your hand for you to store again.

Problem solved. Also, free ax.

[JisakuJ]

jesus christ

[1amsm1th]

"Well trained in 2 martial arts..."

Street Fighter 4 isnt a martial art buddy.

[EbolaZidane]

@1amsm1th And neither is Super Smash Bros.

[889654]

@1amsm1th And FPS games don't count for marksmenship

[RandomQuestions]

I get the feeling that, at the very least, half of those of those entries are people just fucking around for the fun of it, with some possibly making references to something. I mean, hell, I've come up with my own plans for a zombie apocalypse for shits and giggles before.

Maybe I'm just insane, but I'm finding it hard to believe that most of the even lengthier posters were doing anything more than just jokingly bragging about how awesome they were... At least I hope they weren't...

[EdmacZ]

I'm Crazy Prepared to keep my emotions in order from reading TroperTales.

[inferno232]

Dammit, after watching this, I want my own pair of "Frankenpants". I don't think I'd wear them in public, but I just WANT them. Something is wrong with me.

[ShinyMarshtomp]

@inferno232 probably etsy

[inferno232]

Well... They got the "crazy" part right.

[speyeker]

Do Nightmare Fetishist. I looked at that page, and holy fuck it's a goldmine.

[321cheeseman]

Really? Preparations to help you prove who you are to people you know just in case you get turned into a girl? REALLY?

Why not make preparations that will help you GET a girl? That makes a lot more sense, and is something that can actually happen. ...Err... Well, you know what I mean.

[bmcprime]

@321cheeseman He gets kidnapped and he keeps trying to give his family a signal he's under duress but all that comes across is that he loves football and is the best at math.

[fslpoon]

Human flesh: better eat it before it turns zombie.

[officialunofficial]

I was not prepared enough to see how crazy these people are.

[Garlannd]

Too bad no one of them are crazy prepared to have an actual social life.

[WeabooName]

I wish people would shut the fuck up about zombies and zombie apocalypses. They're movies people. It's not going to fucking happen. You're never going to need that plan. And if it did, you would not be the total badass that you are imagining that you would be during it. You would be the same dumpy TV Trope obsessed loser who thinks you can be bi and asexual at the same time and thinks Sonic gasping for breath is hot. The only difference would be the stockpile of canned food.

[thenewmc2]

@WeabooName *claps*

Amen friend.

[TacticoolOperator]

jesus christ these people are all insane

[ShinyMarshtomp]

The human flesh one. Voicing that... what the fuck

[SpamNapkin]

>implying a zombie apocalypse is a realistic scenario that could totally happen in real life

[SpamNapkin]

Dale you giblet head, get off the computer.

[GoldNCase]

self masterbation on one ego is just....i cant even finish this.

[YamiAura]

The only one of these that's even slightly justified is a zombie apocalypse, because if you're ready for that, you're ready for anything.

On a related note, last Christmas, I got my dad a novelty vampire hunting kit to put up in his hangout in the basement. Fucking awesome.

[Protectorett]

Why all the extravagence here? Keep a knife under your bed in case of burglaries and a phone and your wallet with you when you go outside and you are basically covered for any problem you are likely to encounter in day to day life.

[samuraikarasu]

I'm crazy prepared to beat the shit out of anyone who writes this shit.

[AwkwardBatman]

No matter what I do, my mental image for all these people is a bunch of Dwight Schrutes.

[mannimarco3]

Nice! Got any more plans for surviving fictional situations?

[Gaupa2]

why do a tvtroper need a condom?

[fslpoon]

@Gaupa2

In case they have to use the keyboard of another troper.

[JFitz815]

@Gaupa2 Ah, one of life's greatest mysteries.

[mortoch]

@Gaupa2 Less cleanup when masturbating.

[speyeker]

I get the feeling the one about summoning a demon was a joke, a deliberate attempt at trolling the page. I seriously hope....

[GreatNegus]

That's not crazy prepared......that's just crazy.

[TheRadicalOneNG]

None of these people have ever been mugged at knife point before.

[windscar15]

@TheRadicalOneNG that might require some of them to actually go outside.

[BackgroundBailey]

Today I've learned that the (crazy) tropers are paranoid as hell.
