Hello everyone, and welcome back to Best of the Trope!
Here are the rules. Each day, I will post a trope from TV Tropes, and each poster can name up to three examples of that trope. Whichever nomination gets the most mentions wins! Posters may also name as many Honourable Mentions as they like, but they are purely optional and will not count towards the running score. You may look at the TV Tropes page for that day's trope for examples, but you do not have to pick all your examples from the page. You can nominate whatever examples you like, as long as they qualify for the trope. Each trope will last around 24 hours before the next one goes up. In the event of a tie between 4 or more nominations, a tiebreaker poll will be run the next day to determine a winner. Posters may also nominate any tropes they wish to see come up during the series. This is optional, and you don't have to do it every day, or at all. Tropes will be randomly selected from the list each day, except for some occasions where I will pick a thematically appropriate trope that may or may not be on the list. Here's the list of previous tropes, so if you wish to nominate some tropes, check on here that it wasn't previously done. http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Best_of_the_Trope Trope list: Fat and Skinny Kindhearted SImpleton The Only One Allowed to Defeat You The Woobie Trauma Conga Line Humiliation Conga Evil Costume Switch Torch the Franchise and Run Trash the Set Grand Finale ...

Today's trope is Identical Stranger. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IdenticalStranger
They say that everybody has got a double somewhere. After all, the Earth has a human population of 7 billion; it would actually be stranger if no two people were at least vaguely similar in appearance. On the other hand, it's not as common in Real Life as it seems to be in media. On television this is often utilized for comedy, by making them very different people personality-wise. As far as tropes go, this is one of the more ludicrously implausible ones. Take the probability of an Identical Grandson, ramp it Up to Eleven, and we're sort of in the right ballpark. This trope has stuck around mainly because it's a fun Plot Device. Meeting your own grandfather requires you to be in a Time Travel scenario, whereas a stranger can be, well, anyone more or less. Still, expect groans from the audience if this trope forces both identical strangers onto the screen at the same time a little too often. It gets past our Willing Suspension of Disbelief largely because it seems less improbable in the abstract than when we're directly confronted with it. TL,DR: Two unrelated characters look exactly alike. Nominations: The Prince and the Pauper Flexo (Futurama) Kingsonn Dededoo (Brawl in the Family) ... Copied to Clipboard!
