Of course, we never think of how they feel. The good news is, they perfectly understand the problem, and are willing and able to absorb it all. And after it's out of our system, they simply turn to us and ask, "Are you done yet?"

 

{{examples}}

 

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* [[Batman]] occasionally does this to the members of the Batfamily [[Calling the Old Man Out|calling him out]] on being manipulative, closed-off, and secretive.

'''Batman''': You getting to a point? }}

 

 

== [[Film]] ==

** Interestingly, this is a [[Shout-Out]] or [[Homage]] to a real boxing match: Muhammad Ali defeated George Foreman using exactly this strategy (which he called the "Rope-A-Dope") in their infamous Rumble in the Jungle.

*** There was an interview with George Foreman about this fight where he says that at one point right after hitting Ali with a hard shot Ali leaned over and whispered to him: "Is that all you got, George?" Which caused Foreman to think: ''Actually... yeah. That's pretty much it.''

** Drago also does this briefly to Rocky in the fourth movie, giving Rocky a free shot at his body in the early rounds, pushing him away, then inviting him back in to more as a show of confidence.

* Beautifully subverted in ''[[Scent of a Woman]]''.

 

 

== [[Live Action TV]] ==

* This was used in the ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' episode "The Search, Part II", when things start going to hell during the Federation-Dominion peace process. Sisko bursts into the room where the Federation admiral and the Dominion representative are.

'''Sisko''': I haven't even ''begun!'' }}

 

* In the episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' when Homer became a boxer, his strategy consisted entirely of being beaten until his opponent became too tired. Then he fought Drederick Tatum, a Mike Tyson expy. It didn't work.

* In an episode of ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'', Wilt spends most of the episode getting [[Missing the Good Stuff|distracted from watching the big game]] by his [[Emotionally Tongue-Tied|inability to say "no"]] because various people keep asking him to do menial tasks. He remains calm even after being sidetracked to the point of having to break out of jail (twice!) and repair a spaceship in orbit, but when Bloo has the audacity to stomp the bowl of chips Wilt brought him into the carpet because they aren't salt and vinegar flavored, Wilt finally [[Rant-Inducing Slight|snaps and shouts "no" over and over again]] until he's exhausted. Finally:

He calmly leaves to get Bloo some salt and vinegar chips, but by the time he realizes what's happening and turns around to reprimand Bloo, the door has been slammed in his face and the episode is over. }}

* In ''[[The Emperor's New Groove|The Emperors New Groove]]", Yzma and Kronk are at Pacha's home, Yzma claiming to be a distant Great Aunt of Pacha's and trying to stall them for time, so as to recapture Kuzco. The son, Tipo, jumping rope, mentions to Yzma that she doesn't look like his Great Aunt;

"Great-great aunt." }}

* On ''[[Rugrats]]'', when Tommy is about to lead the babies away from Grandpa on an outing to the museum:

'''Tommy:''' Then let's go! }}
