Line 12:
* A series of ''Stanton Optical'' commercials invoke this trope with screaming eyeglasses.
 
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* [[Invoked Trope]] in ''[[AbenobashiMagical MahouShopping ShoutengaiArcade Abenobashi]]''; in order to invoke the powers of the "martial arts" world he found himself in, the main character had to "embrace the form; even if he didn't have the substance." First he did the Bruce Lee thing with his nose, then started making noises; and he [[Your Mind Makes It Real|was Bruce Lee.]]
* The teacher from ''Super Radical Gag Family''.
* Rock Lee from ''[[Naruto]]''
* The shortest fight in [[Bleach]] history was between Chad, and a guy whose entire fighting style was made up of flailing his sword and shouting dramatically.
 
== [[FanficFan Works]] ==
* Ryan Lee uses this frequently in ''[[Futari wa Pretty Cure Dragon]]''.
 
Line 49:
* [[Kamen Rider Fourze|Kamen Rider Meteor]] seems fond of these. Unlike most examples he actually does martial arts.
 
== [[SketchRecorded and Stand Up Comedy]] ==
* One of [[The Frantics]]' best known sketches, ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-LU7ijtMww&feature=related Ti Kwan Leep]'' (sometimes mistakenly called "Boot To The Head") has Ed Gruberman attempting these.
 
== [[Real Life]] ==
* Anyone who's ever taught a martial arts class to small kids knows they do this. They usually sound more like Michael Jackson than Bruce Lee and fall about laughing if you point this out (Assuming that they actually know who one or both of those people are...). Depending on the personal style (and possibly martial-arts style) of the teacher, you're actually supposed to do this, just not nearly so exaggerated. In competitive martial arts, shouting when you attack counts for points (or at least points out that they're supposed to be looking for a scoring hit rather than a feint), in defensive martial arts it's a focus thing to add a little extra aggression to the attack.
* Yelling when striking serves a number of different purposes, from the physiological (yelling firms up the core muscles, increases blood flow, and helps to keep you from getting the breath knocked out of you) to psychological (yelling focuses your attention on the moment of the attack and may startle the opponent). The timbre of the yell makes little difference for most purposes. Yelling while warming up can serve many of the same purposes, including intimidation, increased blood flow, and increased focus.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 79 ⟶ 75:
* Happens in Don Hertzfeldt's ''Rejected'', although they're not fighting, they're just flipping the fuck out because one guy's eye turned into a fountain of blood.
* A ''crab'' perched on a rock does it to a group of seagulls in ''[[Finding Nemo]].'' As the gulls are about to pick the crab apart (to raucous cries of "Mine!"), the crab waves its pincers and makes noise in stereotypical kung fu fashion before back-flipping itself back into the water.
