Dismotivation: Difference between revisions

Line 22:

* Kyon in ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'', which makes up a great part of his personality. He's also cynic and [[Deadpan Snarker|snarky]]. Probably the main reason why he's so [[Obfuscating Stupidity|obfuscating stupid]] is that he doesn't care about anything. Most likely also the reason why he sucks at school, despite being ''very'' knowledgeable and aware of other people's intentions. He shows how an [[Almighty Janitor]] looks like as a kid.

* Unlike the rest of the Baka Rangers in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', Yue is actually one of the most intelligent people in the class. However, after the death of her grandfather or something like that, she stopped studying or trying at all in order to become the resident [[Little Miss Snarker]]. {{spoiler|When her memory gets wiped, she starts working hard again and then takes about six levels in badass by taking down a griffin dragon.}}

* ''[[Full Metal Panic]]'': In one episode, Mao tells the story of how she met Sosuke and Kurz when the latter two were new recruits. Neither of them trusted the shadowy Mithril too much at the start and so intentionally sabotaged themselves, Sosuke using this trope (and claiming that any superior performance was a fluke). When a real situation came up, he was forced to drop the act, which showed his incredible skills and got him recruited (but also proved Mithril's trustworthiness, making everything work out).

* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'': In one episode, Mao tells the story of how she met Sosuke and Kurz when the latter two were new recruits. Neither of them trusted the shadowy Mithril too much at the start and so intentionally sabotaged themselves, Sosuke using this trope (and claiming that any superior performance was a fluke). When a real situation came up, he was forced to drop the act, which showed his incredible skills and got him recruited (but also proved Mithril's trustworthiness, making everything work out).

* ''[[Hyouka]]'': Houtarou has two rules he lives his life by: "One: Never do anything you don't have to. Two: If you have to do something, do it quickly."
