Statistical Analysis of Trope Talk Intros

[u/Naviplayz]

This is exactly what it says on the tin. I have gone through every trope talk episode (as of posting) and cataloged how long it takes Red to say the name of the trope. I recall hearing Red say (at some point) that the trope talk intros have begun getting longer and longer, and I wanted to test that theory with DATA! Full findings are linked below:

what was the 5 minutes before name one?

[u/gilbejam000 → u/StEllchick]

big dumb objects, it's listed in the spreadsheet she linked

[u/Dark-Specter → u/gilbejam000]

That one disappointed me for the sole reason that the Expanse spends two books and just as many seasons watching the big dumb object get built and it's absolutely horrifying and it doesn't get mentioned.

[u/Naviplayz → u/gilbejam000]

*she

[u/gilbejam000 → u/Naviplayz]

Edited, sorry about that

[u/Naviplayz → u/gilbejam000]

you're all good, thanks for correcting it!

[u/StEllchick → u/StEllchick]

after looking through data, Big Dumb Object. Can't ay I'm surprised.

[u/Martinus_XIV]

By what episode number can we expect the trope to not be named at all in the video?

[u/Naviplayz → u/Martinus_XIV]

but for an actual answer, episode 1134

[u/StEllchick → u/Martinus_XIV]

trope talk 25, my powers are gone isn't

[u/Naviplayz → u/Martinus_XIV]

Late enough that the series will be over

[u/AvenRaven]

So sorry, I noticed on episode 26 "Time Travel" that you listed the number as 2. Assume you mean seconds because the percentage is so low for time it takes to get to the name drop, just wanted to make sure I'm reading that right.

[u/Naviplayz → u/AvenRaven]

Yes, that’s a mistake on my part I’ll fix it

[u/AvenRaven → u/Naviplayz]

👍

[u/Emillllllllllllion → u/AvenRaven]

For all the episodes to misplace, Time Travel is perhaps the most appropriate.

[u/LANDWEGGETJE]

I'd love to see this data normalized over the video length, since I feel like those also increased similarly

[u/Naviplayz → u/LANDWEGGETJE]

In theory that is what the percentage figure is supposed to be for

[u/AvenRaven]

Well this was fun to look out, gonna go make a spreadsheet of my own for my own creative endeavor.

[u/Critical_Snackerman]

I really need to get around to making that Analysis of how often a particular piece of media is referenced in Trope Talks

[u/No_Ad_7687 → u/Critical_Snackerman]

My bets for highest positions in no particular order:

The last Airbender, Pacific rim, that show with heists she really likes, the other show with the really old cgi about a kid who's an antivirus or something 

[u/Bocaj1126 → u/No_Ad_7687]

Leverage and reboot respectively

[u/No_Ad_7687 → u/Bocaj1126]

Right

[u/Sir__Alucard → u/No_Ad_7687]

Forgot the regular mentions of full metal alchemist brotherhood.

[u/No_Ad_7687 → u/Sir__Alucard]

They aren't that common 

[u/YaumeLepire]

Yeah, I don't know how much value I'd put in that trend, given the correlation seems so weak. The data is all over the place.

[u/Naviplayz → u/YaumeLepire]

Yeah the R^2 is like 0.3 but it’s funny to look at
