This is a place to post which tropes on TVTropes you believe are either played straight, subverted, averted, whatever on either your or somebody else's stories. Try to stay away from the more general tropes, and find specific examples.
For example, Generation 2021 contains oodles of examples of lampshading. One would be that Maple explicitly states that they didn't have any of the standard starters. (Actually, that's more like lampshading an aversion of the trope, but I digress.)
(If this topic seems too frivolous, I apologize.)
