Deconstruction at tvtropes.org

This article needs a severe pruning. First off, it contains too many parodies which are to deconstruction as an accidentally fatal bar fight is to a full out mechanized war.

The best definition of deconstruction is given therein: "Deconstruction for our purposes basically involves colliding a trope with Real Life at high speed... A deconstruction will not just make fun of its genre, but attack it. The most common way to do this is to take a trope and play it utterly and brutally straight, showing just how bad an idea it would be in the real world."

Second, Derrida's deconstruction involved interpreting Aristotle's Poetics through the author's love of ice cream. It is essentially a joke discipline that is useless here.
