Basic Trope: A character screams the word "No!" at length when faced with a crisis or tragedy.
- Straight: Bob yells "Nooo!" when he sees the villain stab Alice, his girlfriend.
- Exaggerated:
- Downplayed: Bob utters a intense, but shorter "NO!" when he sees Alice get stabbed.
- Justified:
- Bob is shocked and wants to do something, but can't.
- Bob is over-dramatic.
- Inverted: Bob yells "YEEEEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!" as he sees Alice get stabbed.
- Subverted:
- Bob looks like he's about shout "No!", but gets cut-off before he can.
- Bob yells No, but ends in -pe, thereby making it, Nope.
- Double Subverted: Once the distraction is dealt with, Bob is free to shout "No!"
- Parodied:
- Bob's yell of "Nooo!" is so long, he's obligated to take a deep breath during it before continuing.
- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ten minutes later OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
- Bob stares blankly for ten seconds before suddenly shouting "Nooo!!!"
- The screen splits into ten panes, each of which has Bob screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" in unison.
- While Bob is yelling "NOOOOO", the camera quickly zooms out until the entire Milky Way is in the shot. Bob is still screaming "NOOOOOO". Cue intense camera shake.
- There are multiple shots depicting everyone in the entire universe — even aliens on other planets — looking in Bob's direction during his "NOOOOOOO".
- Bob is prompted to scream "Nooo!" by the most minor and trivial of problems.
Bob: "Well, I sure am looking forward to my pizza rolls, I- wait, is that burning I smell? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" |
Bob: "Can I say it?" |
- Deconstructed:
- Bob's Big No blows his cover, sending the villain and possibly passer-by Danny straight for him. Bob may also become hoarse from shouting.
- Everyone looks at Bob, who now feels incredibly awkward.
- Reconstructed: Bob's Big No causes him to be spotted by the villain, but Bob still manages to escape.
- Zig Zagged: Some of the characters get a Heroic BSOD when something bad happens, others scream the Big No. Naturally, if there is more than one battle, the people will switch which reaction they have.
- Averted: Bob says nothing during moments of tragedy and crisis.
- Enforced:
- "This is a dramatic moment, people! Bob, I want you to yell "No!" as loud and as long as you can!"
- A Large Ham is hired to play the part of Bob.
- Lampshaded:
- "... that was the biggest 'No' I ever heard."
- "You sound like a character from a crappy B-movie with that 'NOOOOO!!!'"
- Invoked: Bob actively makes sure he's got everyone's attention before screaming "Nooo!"
- Exploited: Bob purposely yells loudly to distract the guards.
- Defied: Danny punches Bob out if it even looks like he's going to scream "Nooo!"
- Discussed: Danny demands why Bob had to go and shout something stupid sounding like that, this isn't some TV Drama. Bob retorts that it certainly was dramatic enough to be in a TV show.
- Conversed: Danny says "Oh my god, that sounded like that one scene from that show I was watching!"
Back to Big No? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
