Trollpasta Wiki:Trollpasta Clichés: Difference between revisions

Hello, new user. As you probably know, trollpasta is meant to be a parody of scary stories. However, lately a few of the other admins and I have noticed that some people don't seem to quite grasp that concept. Most of the time this is because these new users fail to avoid a bunch of painfully overused '''clichés''' which pretty much kill any potential funniness your story may have. Having one or two of these things in your pasta isn't that bad, it depends on how you use them and your pasta won't be deleted just because it has a cliché in it, but if your story incorporates many, it is likely of poor quality.  '''Do not rely on nothing else but clichés for comedic value.'''

Just because this is trollpasta doesn't mean that you can automatically make your story funny or a good parody/satire by making it incredibly bad and hard to read.  Nor does it mean it is impossible to have clichés in Trollpasta. Remember that trollpastas, regardless of how terrible they may be, still must have the basic elements of an actual story and should not be just an incoherent pile of clichés. '''Making the story bad does not make it automatically funny.'''
