Disorganized Outline Speech: Difference between revisions

Line 65:

* In [[William Shakespeare]]'s ''[[Much Ado About Nothing]]'', Act V Scene 1, Dogberry has an extremely convoluted version of this, crossed with [[Shaped Like Itself]]:

{{quote|'''Dogberry:''' Marry, sir, they have committed false report; moreover, they have spoken untruths; secondarily, they are slanders; sixth and lastly, they have belied a lady; thirdly, they have verified unjust things; and, to conclude, they are lying knaves.}}

* In ''[[The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged|The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)]]'', one of the players literally gets his outline (in this case, [[Cue Card|speech card]]s) disorganized. He starts off giving historical information about a play... and ends up giving the life story of [[Adolf Hitler]].

* In ''[[The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)||The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)]]'', one of the players literally gets his outline (in this case, [[Cue Card|speech card]]s) disorganized. He starts off giving historical information about a play... and ends up giving the life story of [[Adolf Hitler]].

* Sganarelle has trouble presenting a persuasive argument several times over the course of Moliere's ''Don Juan''. One of his longer speeches comes near the end, when Don Juan has finally [[Last Straw|crossed the line]] and Sganarelle is desperate to convince him to repent (this is paraphrased from memory):

{{quote|'''Sganarelle (grasping for a way to put it):''' Man is in the way like... a bird on a branch. The branch is attached to the tree. Whoever attaches himself to the tree follows good precepts. [and a long speech later] The old love riches. Riches make one rich. The rich are not poor. The poor know desperation. Those who are desperate act like brute beasts. ''You'', sir, act like a brute beast, and because of that you'll be damned to all the devils in Hell!

Line 87:

* In [[The Spectacular Spider]]-Man, [[Jerkass|Flash Thompson]] does the usual A-then-2 speech to Peter Parker when convincing him to help him get a girl to notice him.

* [[Trope Overdosed|Epic]] ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' example:

** Note that Sokka is meant to be outlining a specific battle plan, but resorts to 'explaining from the beginning', literally, when he gets confused. His dad then 'clarifies' the plan.

** And by "explaining from the beginning", we mean he gave a (pretty succinct) recap of the first six episodes, with all signs pointing to him reciting all 49 if he hadn't been interrupted.
