Line 56: == [[Live Action Television]] == * In the American version of ''[[The Office]],'' Michael Scott misuses this trope constantly at his improv class. Any time he is called to act in a scene, he pulls out a gun to increase drama because "you can't top it". Of course, nobody can top it and it ruins every improv exercise the class attempts. In fact, improv classes usually state as one of the first rules of scenework that pulling a gun is a "weak choice" ~~-- as~~—as pointed out above, it keeps everyone else in the scene from contributing anything. Not to say it never happens, of course. * Nonsense! If someone pulls a gun, you rip off your shirt and reveal you're superman! * ''[[Lampshaded]]'' in ''[[The Pretender]]''. Jarod narrates that when in doubt, have a man walk in with a gun. A man walks in with some ice cream. As he corrects himself in the narration, the man asks Jarod whether he is Dick Dickson (who Jarod is currently pretending to be). When Jarod answers in the affirmative, the man promptly draws a gun. Line 87: == [[Video Games]] == * In many [[FPS~~\|FPSes~~]]es, this is the only plot point that happens outside of a cutscene. Apparently ''[[Red Steel]]'' was designed by Raymond Chandler. * ''[[Daily Life with Monster Girl\|Monster Girl Quest]]'', for all its wonderful writing, doesn't seem to know how to end conversations all that well. Most of the time, they end with "and then a monster appeared."
