What's your trope?

The best way to find a trope that suits "you," is to think about a common theme in movies and TV. Like, say you're the screech of your particular bayside high. So, you go to TVTropes and look up "Saved by the bell" and look through the tropes that make up that show, and find that there's a trope that applies to Screech in particular: The Urkel. Self explanatory, that one, really.

The Urkel is a young teenage nerd (almost Always Male), who dresses and behaves very awkwardly. Unlike nerds in real life (or nerds who star in their shows) he is completely oblivious to his nerdly nature, and a Leisure Suit Larry who goes after girls without any fear of rejection. In fact, he doesn't take "no" for an answer. Usually serves as the stooge to the main character.
If I'm not careful, I can lose hours on that website, looking up a show, following the tropes in it to other shows that use a common trope, then following more tropes, and on, and on, and on.

It caters to the part of some of us that has an obsessively compulsive need to classify and categorize every aspect of everything in our lives.
Dear god this.
