are you a one trick pony

a one trick pony loosely means that someone is (or was) good at something, but only that something and never anything else.

1980s hollywood producers and screenwriters saw value in this trope, using it to conjure up movies where the central plot involved some bum rising up against all odds to become a hero, but only at one thing. a notable example here is rocky, though one trick ponying was prevalent in character development, or lack thereof. take ghostbusters for example. who could forget such characters as peter venkman, known solely for his sleazy schemes, the peepee dastardly of ghostbusting, also ray stantz as the lovable virgin bookworm, and egon spengler as the bill nye science guy but with extra fkn nerd points. and ofc winston zeddimore, the token darkie. all of these characters never developed further than what they were meant to be - cheap gimmicks for a film about bustin ghosts.

here at rdrama.net, one tricky ponying can be prevalent in a user's posts, which wouldn't be a bad thing if they didn't also feel the need to bulletpoint their content with even more one trick ponying, whether it be old memes lost to the sands of time or just doubling down and hammering on about their area of expertise. why they feel this is pertinent to their message is anyone's guess, but there's one point worth noting above all others.

and that's once you've seen a one trick pony, you'v'e seen them all.

How many of you break the law just to goon? It aint a new thang! The old heads would break the law all the time just to goon! Aight, sheeit imma hit ya'll off with a quick lesson on masturbation. You see, none of the GOONERS can agree on where gooning originated and how some GOONING became illegal and some didn't. Sheeit, some of our GOONERS are Christians and according to them, God HATES gooners. As proof, they point to the story of Onan. That's a real deep cut there nigS were trying to KILL him.guh get your googles on that shit for real. That dude was the first to say yo FRICK GOD I DON'T WANT GUSSY because GOONING is better.
