Line 8:

Oh, don't feel too bad, you aren't the only one to become a willing [[Unwitting Pawn]] and [[MacGuffin Delivery Service|errand boy]] with naught but a sweet story about [[Straw Hypocrite|"lofty goals"]]. You should feel ''[[Trash Talk|honored]]'' to be so used!

~~Mwahaha-- What~~ do you mean, "[[Shut UP, Hannibal|Shut up]]"? No! uh... ''[[No, You|You]]'' shut up! ... Well, yes, my whole plan did sort of hinge on you doing something I didn't think you'd do... What? No! That does ''not'' make my whole plan a [[Gambit Roulette]]! You take that back! Or I'll... uh... [[Smoke Out|*smoke bomb!* ]]

What? No! That does ''not'' make my whole plan a [[Gambit Roulette]]! You take that back! Or I'll... uh... [[Smoke Out|*smoke bomb!*]]

Anyway.

Unfortunately, {{spoiler|Gin promptly learns he was the victim of a [[Xanatos Gambit]], as Aizen actually [[Out-Gambitted|counted on being out-chessed]] by Gin to reach the next stage of his development...and somehow Aizen has become broken enough to [[Beyond the Impossible|survive being disintegrated from the inside out]]}}.

* ''[[FAKE]]'' gives us the following hilarious exchange as Dee puts the moves on his partner Ryo:

* In ''[[Power Rangers Jungle Fury]]'':

{{quote|'''Grizzaka''': (after finally escaping the sand snakes) Think you're rid of me? Think again. (laughs evilly)}}

** Now, bad guys say stuff like that all the time, but on this occasion it's different: Grizzaka is one of the three Overlords, the [[Big Bad~~|Big Bads~~]] of this arc. Carnisoar the Sky Overlord went down last week, and Jellica the Sea Overlord and the [[Sixth Ranger]] had their climactic battle while Grizzaka the Land Overlord didn't even get past the [[Death Trap]]-laden path to the new [[Humongous Mecha]] this week. So, this arc's over and it's time for the [[Meet the New Boss|Phantom Beasts]], right? Yeah, [[Not So Fast Bucko]].

* When Randy Orton shook Sheamus' hand at the conclusion of their May ~~18th~~ match on Smackdown, Sheamus reluctantly accepted. As soon as he turned away, Randy planted Sheamus with an RKO. Randy is actually well known for doing things like this, so why Sheamus accepted the handshake at all is anyone's guess. Maybe it's because [[Good Is Dumb]].

** [[Memetic Mutation|It was merely a setback]].

** In the 5-man "Trial of the Champion" dungeon, the Black ~~Knight -- whom~~ the player has most likely slain in a previous ~~quest -- appears~~ out of nowhere at the end and booms, "Did you honestly think an agent of the Lich King could be bested on the field of your ''pathetic'', little tournament?"

*** And then you kill him again. And again. And once more. That's counting up to '''three''' [[Back From the Dead]].

**** That fight in and of itself is more likely an example of [[Only a Flesh Wound]], given that the character is ''called'' "[[Monty Python and the Holy Grail|Black Knight]]" and he constantly disregards damage to himself and is assured of his victory.
