I'll just have a quick look on TV Tropes to see what kinds of tropes we could assign...
*six hours later*
OH GOD WHAT YEAR IS IT
The irony here is in real life I actually eat ridiculously small portions for a fully grown man. Still reading the article on tv tropes I can see a couple of ideas where you'd be heading with this.
Chivalrous Pervert YEAH
Tv Tropes is the crack of the Internet. Of course I condone this.
Honestly, I've never understood the appeal of TV Tropes and why people find it so fascinating.
I feel like I learn so much. And it neverendingly links to itself! And external links! Ooh baby! *drools*
I sometimes feel like half the reason I've gotten so much into Doctor Who is how extensive TV Tropes' coverage of it is. Of course, there are a huge number of reasons other than that, so it isn't half the reason, but TV Tropes definitely helped.

EVERY. smurfING. TIME.
Indeed.Agreed. My first experience with tropes was when I was beginning my chronicles (which began as a fanfiction of KH)... I was trying avoid using well-known cliches or archetypes in my fiction (I didn't even know what a trope was) and stumbled upon TVT&I (by the way, I've never found an idiom on the site). I quickly learned that there is no avoiding cliches or archetypes, everything's been done, what's been done has often been done again, done to death, revived for mild amusement and/or nostalgia and killed again, and then done once more years off the mark just to check if anybody remembers it. So I decided if I couldn't beat'em, I'd join'em, and while I was at it, I pretty much determined to merge with the entirety of the site until I was essentially a sickly if silly god of all tropes. Ridiculousness empower me!Dignified Pauper! That's his freakin' name!
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.
If Demolition Man were remade today
Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
I am not in Mercen-X's list and now I am sad.
As for TVTropes, every great writer I personally know pretty much has the site memorized. Which makes me feel bad because I have never spent much time there. xD

I had to look that up and it is like the opposite of me. Maybe I need to work on my presentation skills...
It was a sarcastic attack based on your last post here. Truthfully, I don't know much about you except that people know you you
