== [[Advertising]] ==
* A series of ''Stanton Optical'' commercials invoke this trope with screaming eyeglasses.
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* [[Invoked Trope]] in ''[[
* 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.
== [[
* Ryan Lee uses this frequently in ''[[
== [[Film]] ==
Line 27:
* Chris Tucker in the ''[[Rush Hour]]'' films (the example that springs to mind is in the fight with Zhang Ziyi in film 2, but I'm sure there are others).
* Gonzo in ''[[Muppet Treasure Island]]'', whilst throwing starfish in a shuriken-esque way.
* ''[[
* [[Mystery Science Theater 3000|HI-KEEBA]]!
* Sonny Chiba, especially in his early career and ''[[The Street Fighter]]'' series. Sure the faces he makes are giggle-inducing to a modern American audience... right up until you see him tear down a dozen mooks like a frakking ''animal''.
* Jeeja Yanin in the first fight scene of Thai actioner ''Chocolate'', although I can't tell if they're deliberately being funny.
* Artemus Gordon pulls one of these in ''[[Wild Wild West (
* Brad Pitt at the end of ''[[Fight Club]]''.
* The Chosen One in ''[[Kung Pow]]'' does this, though he does have some martial arts talent.
* In ''[[The Karate Kid]] Part III'', Silver, despite being [[I Know Karate|an actual karateka]], does [[I Know Kung Faux|Kung Faux poses]] while making Funny Bruce Lee Noises before fighting Mr. Miyagi.
** And then [[Curb Stomp Battle|after Mr. Miyagi is through]], the old man [[Crowning Moment of Funny|mocks him in this fashion]].
* [[Rupert Grint]] in one scene in ''[[
* Jones does this in every ''[[Police Academy]]'' movie starting with the second one (Where he first demonstrates skill in martial arts). Since he's also a ventriloquist, he also makes it look like everything he says in those scenes is being badly dubbed in, just for fun.
Line 47:
* Theo, the Blue Ranger in ''[[Power Rangers Jungle Fury]]'', tended to make nonstop Bruce Lee noises during battle, notable in a series where most of the Rangers actually practiced Chinese-based martial arts and none of the rest felt the need to do that.
** That very same year, the teamup movie between ''[[Engine Sentai Go-onger]]'' and ''[[Juken Sentai Gekiranger]]'' had a minor starting enemy named Nunchaku Banki who made these noises ''at all times''. Regardless of whether he was attacking, jumping, getting hit, or painfully getting knocked across the battlefield by exceptionally powerful attacks, he still made these noises. It's possible this may have been a [[Take That]] against the above, but we'll probably never know.
* [[Kamen Rider Fourze
== [[
* 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 63 ⟶ 59:
* Marshall Law of ''[[Tekken]]'', being a [[Bruce Lee Clone]], obligatorily uttered these sounds. So did his son, Forrest.
* Kim Kap Hwan from [[The King of Fighters]].
* [[Bayonetta]] does so when have a combo really going while equipped with Sai Fung, which are [[Crazy Awesome|nunchuk]] [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Soul Calibur]]'s Maxi does a lot of this too.
* Kim Dragon from ''World Heroes'', being the first video game [[Bruce Lee Clone]], obviously used them.
Line 71 ⟶ 67:
== Web Original ==
* Angry Joe in [[That Guy With
* In the very first episode of ''[[RWBY]]'', Ruby Rose makes [[Funny Bruce Lee Noises]] while miming karate chops to indicate to Professor Ozpin just how much she's improved thanks to her Uncle Qrow's training.
== [[Western Animation]] ==
Line 78 ⟶ 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.
