That tropes are not bad, and overusing them does not automatically make a work bad.

They are all bullshit. And you don't get a happy ending, you don't get the hot girl by being a nerd or emo. And your family won't give you support or a epic speech to guide you in life
Turning things off and back on again does infact solve 90% of your problems.

I was today years old when I learned that.
It's from a TV show called "The IT Crowd" and it's an excellent watch. Highly recommended.
Too much is a bad thing and the audience will call you out for lazy writing (even if they can't say it xy or z trope)
Im not sure if this falls into that category but when watching suits everytime i hear "a god damn thing" i am uncertain if its a meta joke for the writers, or if it was a placeholder and they just gave up on coming up with alternate line
I found one of my favorite authors (Charles Stross) by following an example link from an interesting trope.
I went to look up my favorite trope and went on a whole entire side tangent for both Wakfu season 4 in general and some general 3•2•1 Penguins trope trivia.
Ended up finding out that the Grandmum from Penguins had 4 different VA's in the English dub, throughout the series both Jason and Michelle Conrad were voiced by children, somehow on the Qubo TV station was able to outperform VeggieTales among children in ratings at one point in an anthology series of Penguins and Larry Boy, and the original working title was Jason and the Penguinauts.
Most of that surprised me, especially the children VA's because I'm so used to adults voicing kids in things like anime that it's weird to me.
Also, if no existing property is using the Jason and the Penguinauts name, I hope to God some day in the future I can create a game with that name. I'd definitely create a game with a similar vibe to Penguins 100% but be legally distinct enough to not get copyright struck. Also, by create, I probably mean get enough funding to get a team together to help make it because I am really dumb and couldn't do a project like that on my own.
