The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to You Know That Show and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
Find a Trope:
No Title
Victim is being stalked by monster/killer/ancient and terrifying evil, who is hiding in the shadows or somesuch. Just when they think they're safe, monster leaps out. Victim starts screaming and then...the monster/killer/ancient and terrifying evil starts screaming or roaring too. Also often played for comedy, as in the end of Scary Movie 2 or with Doctor Rockso in Metalocalypse. Is there a trope for this?
No Title Live Action TV
Okay, so I *know* this has got to be a trope. Somewhere.
...Right...?
Anywhooz you have one/small group of amateurs at something- mostly combat (ninjas!), but sometimes also a sport- and something happens to everyone who was more experienced then them, leaving the amatuers to save the day.
Not Ragtag Bunch of Misfits, as this is specifically about the fact that one/small group is an amateur, and the more experienced people have failed.
Thank you for your time tropers~
