Line 57:
*** From the first game, Sylvia gives Travis another one right before the Rank 1 fight.
{{quote| "Now be honest. Did you really think I would let you do me if you hit number one? You really are an idiot, aren't you, Travis? Come back to reality! I mean, look at yourself! You are a dopy, otaku assassin. The bottom of the barrel. No woman would be caught dead with you... unless she was a desperate bitch! Where in the world could you find a woman who could fall in love with someone like you?" }}
* ''[[Die Hard]] Vendetta'' features this in the last level, before the showdown with the [[Big Bad]], which also doubles as a [[Shout -Out]] to the classic movie ''[[On the Waterfront]]'':
{{quote| '''Frontier:''' You don't understand! I could've had class. I could've been a contender. I could've been somebody. Instead of a bum. Which is what I am. Let's face it... it was you McClane... [[This Is Sparta|It... was...YOU!]]}}
* The defeat cutscene for the Forces of Chaos in ''[[Dawn of War]]''. Eliphias blames his subordinates for his defeat, a Daemon Prince offers one of these as he [[You Have Failed Me|disagrees.]]
Line 91:
* In Sword of the [[Berserk]]: Guts' Rage, Rita combines this with [[What the Hell, Hero?]] by delivering the following speech after she and Casca almost get killed by Balzac's men while he's not there.
{{quote| '''Rita''': (slaps Guts) What the hell do you think you're doing? You blew it! You think you're so tough with that [[BFS|big hunk of metal]] hanging on your back! But you can't even protect one woman! Some hero...}}
* Pretty much the entirety of [[Evil Mentor]] and [[Big Bad]] of [[Sharin no Kuni (Visual Novel)|Sharin no Kuni]]'s Masaomi Houzuki's dialogue consists of verbally destroying everything somebody believes in or being a [[Reasonable Authority Figure]], doing a one man [[Good Cop, Bad Cop]] routine. [[Ubermensch]] that he is, he's really, really good at it.
* The [[A God Am I|final boss]] of ''[[Mega Man ZX (Video Game)|Mega Man ZX]] Advent'' tells you "You're not a god. You aren't even a Mega Man. You're a mere mortal." Your response after beating him is, basically, "How's it feel to get your ass handed to you by a '''mere mortal.'''
* ''[[Vindictus]]'' NPC Gallagher is fond of giving these to the player character, [[Jerkass|for no real good reason]]. He gets a few from other NPCs, who [[The Scrappy|clearly dislike the guy]].
Line 111:
** After the end of the next dungeon, one of the [[Dialogue Tree]] options when saving {{spoiler|Impa}} calls back to the speech with [[Deadpan Snarker|"Am I late?"]]
* In ''[[Monster Girl Quest (Video Game)|Monster Girl Quest]]'', Luka gives two of these, one in the first chapter of the game and one in the second.
** The first one is directed at Lily, a girl who responded to her village [[All the Other Reindeer|ostracizing her for her magic]] by raping her family to death and then started a series of witch hunts. When she tries to justify her actions with her [[Freudian Excuse]], Luka {{spoiler|explains that he has the ''exact same background'', but ''he'' decided to be a hero}}. [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown|While beating the crap out of her]].
** The second is at the end of the second game, and is directed at {{spoiler|Alice, Luka's friend and also the Monster Lord}}. Luka refuses to let her {{spoiler|get herself killed to fulfill her mother's dream (which was exactly what her mother did, until Alice slaughtered her killers and screwed everything up)}}, and also points out that {{spoiler|her mother's plan was wrong in the first place, since any plan that can fall apart because you underestimated one little girl clearly wasn't ever going to work}}.
