Line 51:
* ''[[Everworld]]'': Senna Wales dishes these out like they're going out of style. Jalil, [[The Smart Guy]], recognises this, [[Hangs a Lampshade]] on it, and deconstructs one of her speeches point for point. He and Merlin the Magnificent team up to give Senna a joint The Reason You Suck Speech in Book 11.
* ''[[An Elegy for The Still Living]]'': Francis delivers one of these to himself near the end. He does not feel too cheerful afterward.
* [[The Remains of the Day]]: At the end of the book, Stevens at last can articulate the truth in a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|The Reason We Suck Speech]] for Lord Darlington and himself. Lord Darlington played [[Head -in -The -Sand Management]] for the Nazis, and at the end of the day, he can say he was wrong and take the responsibility like a man. [[Shrinking Violet|Stevens never did anything for himself]], [[Tear Jerker|and he cannot say even that]].
* In ''The Fox in the Chicken Coop'' by [[Ephraim Kishon]]. The [[Yes -Man]] finally snaps and calls the politician out on his incompetence, how he still doesn't leave politics to make room for someone else, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|and the stupid joke he always tells.]]
* In ''[[Warrior Cats (Literature)|Warrior Cats]]'', after her sister Ivypool pushes one too many of her [[Berserk Button]]s, Dovewing tells Ivypool exactly why she thinks Ivypool is a terrible cat who deserves to rot in the deepest corners of the Dark Forest for all eternity.
** Squirrelflight also gives one to Jayfeather in Faded Echoes after he treats her and Leafpool like crap for two books straight.
