* Subverted: The immortal doesn't have any of the things that might demonstrate his unusual age.
* Double Subverted: ...except for that one thing.
* Parodied:
* The immortal maintains a huge and obvious collection of artifacts that actually aren't proof of his long life.
* The trope in the form of a Visual Pun.
* Deconstructed: The trope is played in such a way to show various logical and moral problems with the trope as normally played.
* Reconstructed: The trope is played straight, but with the problems brought up by the Deconstruction dealt with or addressed.
* Zig Zagged: The trope is Played With several times over until it becomes a Mind Screw.
* Averted: Neither the trope nor the situation in which it would occur is ever brought up.
* Enforced: Something in Real Life that causes Executive Meddling and/or the authors to use the trope.
* Lampshaded: The immortal may say something like "What, did you think I'd keep something proving I'm a thousand years old lying around where anyone can find it?"
* Invoked: A Genre Savvy Character sets up a situation where the trope can occur.
* Exploited: A Genre Savvy Character takes advantage of the fact that the trope will occur, possibly-- but not necessarily-- Invoking it in the process.
* Defied: A Genre Savvy Character tries to prevent a trope from happening.
* Discussed: Genre Savvy Characters talk about the trope in a situation where it is likely to happen.
* Conversed: Genre Savvy Characters talk about the trope in a Show Within a Show.
* Played For Laughs: Declarations of immortality are met with flat disbelief or a character who is depicted as very old, but never directly referred to as immortal, does something that suggests they are. Like claiming your place of birth is a prehistoric continent.
* Played For Drama: The trope is played in the most melodramatic way possible.
* Plotted A Good Waste: The (normally unintentional) trope is used quite intentionally. Back to Exposition of Immortality
