This troper likes to pretend the various uses of Alice and Bob in the trope descriptions are snapshots of two actual people's interactions, simply because he finds it hilarious that a man and a woman would, in the course of their lifetimes, share a fetish for cucumber glazing, become targets for each other's bitter rages, fuck each other pass the point of caring whetever people are watching them or not, discuss how to write a film noir, try to cover up a murder, experience comedic sexual tension and finally commit suicide together.

Also, I (same troper) envision Alice as a busty redhead with spectacles and Bob as the thin-ish, tall raven-haired man with blurry blue eyes and a DeliberatelyMonochrome wardrobe. Alice is a pedantic and somewhat jaded intellectual and Bob is the introverted, artistic sort.

This troper pictures Alice as a medium-sized blonde in her mid-to-late 30s and Bob as a tall, broad-shouldered, black-haired man in his early 40s. Alice is a career woman, though something of a free spirit, and Bob is an organized businessman.

Oh, come on, guys! Everyone knows that Alice is an alien and that Bob is a one-eyed kleptomaniac with Turrets Syndrome!

Turrets Syndrome? Bob's a castle?

Bob has curly brown hair and is a nice, dependable guy because of his name and Alice wears the blue-white dress of the Disney Alice but is older, blackhaired and she is mysterious, like Alices often are.

Alice is a chestnut-haired, freckly, pretty but not drop-dead gorgeous young woman. Bob is a slightly balding gentleman with an UnlimitedWardrobe except for his trademark baseball cap.

To this troper, Alice is some woman with dark-brown hair who frequently changes hair styles depending on mood/trope, and Bob is, um... To be honest, he could be a bald stick figure for all that matters, I mean, he's ''Bob'', for goodness sake. ;P

I've envisioned Alice as a petite woman with messy brownish hair she often dyes. She's a nerd and wears thick glasses. Bob is a taller, broad-shouldered man, going prematurely grey. He tends towards suits and has a NiceHat which he is rather touchy about.

Alice has blond 50s hair, and Bob is the quintessential 50s high school jock.

Alice is a busty, ditzy blonde cheerleader and Bob is a short, overweight geek with a crush on her.

You're all delusional, obviously Bob is the woman and Alice is the man.

I always see Alice as a sandy-haired woman with dark reddish clothes. Bob is a generic-looking man of about twenty to thirty with short, dark hair who bears a striking resemblance to Tenchi from Tenchi Muyo. he wears blue.

My Alice and Bob is more a Drew and Mike. (Me and my non-troper best friend. Let's keep it that way) Drew is a fat, smart, handsome rogue type who tends to have multiple beserk buttons pushed whenever Mike talks, but still tries to control his AxCrazy rage. Mike is a skinny, kinda smart, pale, awkward guy who seems to constantly swear and thinks he's actually tough.

This troper thinks that Alice and Bob are like the Doctor and his companions.. but in differing universes. If any of the other Alices and Bobs ever met up, their multiverse would implode, and start the cycle over again.

This is starting to sound like WildMassGuessing. Which one of them is Haruhi?

The one that isn't a Time Lord.

Alice is a lolicon blond and Bob is a lamp.

Alice is a 50s teen, and Bob is her hair.I usually think of Alice as a mid-twenties, average build blonde (though there's an older Alice who looks like her much-older sister, or mother), Bob as a same-age, average build guy who looks like a more realistic version of TheSims2 sim with black hair instead of brown (Older Bob is heavyset, balding, and wears pale blue buttonup shirts), and Charlie as a Bob with a more slender face and unruly red hair a couple of inches long (there is no Older Charlie). The Bob of Aerith and Bob is just a generic hyoomun, though kind of short. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity for the pun.

For this troper, Alice and Bob look like a more modern, slightly more GenreSavvy Brad and Janet.

That's exactly how this troper imagined them, too.

I never thought of this before, but after seeing the other examples on this page, I now picture Alice as a feminist geek in glasses with a penchant for bright colors, and Bob as a plain-looking guy in a loose T-shirt.

This troper always imagined Alice and Bob as male and female restroom signs.

In that order?

This Troper always thought of Alice as a short-ish attractively-plump girl with jawline-shoulder length blonde hair, and of bob as an good looking if not conventionally handsome fellow with a roundish face and short brown hair.

This troper would like to know what happened to Alice's best friend Carrie, Derick, Bob's rival for Alice's affections, and Edward, Derick's confidant and longtime friend (but not ''boyfriend'') of both Alice and Carrie.

This troper's Alice and Bob would be Yuki/Haruhi and Kyon, depending on his current ship.

I ran into a new twist in a game theory course: since matrices are often used in studying two-player games, the standard players are Rose and Colin (rows and columns).

This troper doesn't need to imagine what Alice and Bob might look like because she has two friends with the same names. Things can be really weird when she explains tropes using {{Alice And Bob}} as examples.

ThisTroper was in class bored while my teacher was giving an example of proper grammar. She said at one point, "Now, Bob says to..." and I immediately yelled out "''ALICE!''" Needless to say, the class let out a CollectiveGroan.

This Troper has always seen Alice as a short, busty blond woman wearing a red dress and stiletto heels while Bob is a tall, preppy boy who gels his hair into spikes *drools*.
