Big "What?": Difference between revisions

Line 97:

* ''[[Fawlty Towers]]'': The "Gourmet Night" episode featured a truly magnificent "'''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maoPS03C9nw WHAT??!!]'''"

* One ''[[The Kids in The Hall|Kids In The Hall]]'' sketch featured a husband (Scott) who could apparently only say "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pgux9joHvnU What?]"; as his wife (Bruce) kept looking at him without an answer while dusting, the husband quickly invoked this trope.

* In ''[[True Jackson, VP]]'' the title charcter is prone to say "YOU SAY WHAT NOW?!"

* The "Say What?" [[Mad Libs Catchphrase]] of ''[[Hannah Montana]].'' It was always said very specifically, "[General Description] say whaat?"

* An episode of ''[[The Golden Girls]]'' uses a different word, but has the same effect. The ladies are listening to a woman give a eulogy at a funeral. The woman's mentioning all the wonderful things the deceased has done (which shocks them, because they all knew the woman as a total witch.) Then they realize she went into the wrong funeral: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ocZ57tgWr4 Bea Arthur's delivery is what made it a CrowningMomentOfFunny (at 1:15).]

* In [[Show Within a Show]] of [[The Drowsy Chaperone]], this is [[Funny Foreigner]] Aldolfo's reaction to the slightest inconvenience or unexpected answer. It appears to be a trademark of his fictional actor, the [[Large Ham]] Roman Bartelli, as he is heard to do the same in the [[Values Dissonance|massively racist]] other show, Message From a Nightingale.

* This is a [[Running Gag]] in Urinetown, used possibly to greatest affect in this reveal...

Line 153:

* In ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door]]'', this is Professor Frankly's catchphrase. Usually given after the events of the last chapter were explained to him so he can act as [[Mr. Exposition]] for the next. It's delivered from outside his house in the form of a speech bubble that fills half the screen.

* In ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' series, when the trials gets high-paced someone shouts it every couple of seconds.

* [[Only Sane Man|Al]][[Chew Toy|maz]] from ''[[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]]'' uses it multiple times, the biggest ([[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|And most hilarious]]) one being in the ending you get if he solos the last boss, {{spoiler|where he's forced to become the overlord instead of Mao}}.

* [[Only Sane Man|Al]][[Chew Toy|maz]] from ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]'' uses it multiple times, the biggest ([[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|And most hilarious]]) one being in the ending you get if he solos the last boss, {{spoiler|where he's forced to become the overlord instead of Mao}}.

* Used [[Egregious|gratuitously]] in ''[[Dragon Ball]] Z: Burst Limit'', 'WHAT!?' is the response from almost every character in the game, to almost every event that occurs in the game

* ''[[Resident Evil]]'' ([[Resident Evil 1|the first game, to be exact]], courtesy of [[Fountain of Memes|Barry Burton]]):

** In "Sisterhooves Social", Rarity, Applejack, ''and'' Apple Bloom all let out Big Whats in quick succession when Sweetie Belle disowns Rarity as her sister in favor of Applejack.

* This exchange from ''[[Adventure Time]]'' when Jake [[Not Good with Rejection|rejects]] the rather [[Playing with Fire|Vo]][[Yandere|litiale]] [[Badass Princess|Flame Princess.]]
