{{quote|''[[Ugly Dog Theory]]: In a comedy, whenever someone is being pummeled with insults, it's always the last and most seemingly innocent insult that evokes a heated response. Example: "You're ugly, your mother is ugly, your brother is ugly and your dog is ugly!" Response: "You can't talk that way about my dog!"''
|'''[[Roger Ebert]]'''}}
Someone accused of [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]] responds, "I have never jaywalked."

Line 319 ⟶ 297:
* A hilariously [[Values Dissonance|values-dissonant]] example in ''[[To Kill a Mockingbird]]'': Jem is worried about a gang coming after his father, and Atticus assures him that there have never been any gangs in Maycomb.

'''Scotty:''' They called the ''Enterprise'' a garbage scow, sir. }}
** There's a similar incident in an episode of ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]''. Simon complains about life aboard ship, including, but not limited to, the food, the captain and his sister. Kaylee only takes offence to his description of ''Serenity'' as "garbage".

** Dead-Girl describes the Anarchist as "a scared, self-denying, guilt-ridden, washed-up excuse for a mutant" and follows up by saying he isn't even fun anymore. It was that last one that did it. This is naturally because he recognizes all the previous digs as completely factual.
** Also, when watching a news montage that implicates X-Statix in illegal transactions involving drugs, land scams, and [[MP3]]'s, the Anarchist replies with "[[MP3]]'s? That's a damned lie!"

* During a feud in [[ECW]], Terry Funk attempted to provoke [[Mick Foley|Cactus Jack]] into fighting him due to Foley relinquishing his hardcore ways and showing his support for rival company [[WCW]]. Funk's initial attempts to call out Foley were unsuccessful as he called Foley's wife, mother, and his children whores in succession. But he successfully managed to provoke Foley to the ring after calling WCW President Eric Bischoff a homo. The two did a reprise of this exchange in 2006 in the hype of their upcoming tag team match at ECW One Night Stand 2006. This time, however, Funk's final insult was that [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] sucked, causing Foley to cheap shot Funk with a punch.

* ''[[FATAL]]'' provides a real-world example. The author's retort to the game being described as "the date-rape RPG"? That there are no rules included for dating.
== [[Theatre]] ==
* A variation is used in the musical ''[[1776 (musical)|1776]]''. Abigail Adams recites a list of her faults that her husband sent her in a letter; John insists that he didn't mean most of them, but is forced to admit that "You ''are'' pigeon-toed". In a later scene, John begins to list his own faults and Abigail reassures him, but concedes, "You ''are'' pigheaded."
** An actual honest-to-god historical exchange; it's paraphrased from a series of letters written while they were courting. At first glance, the Adamses had an interesting and slightly tumultuous marriage, but it's only partly true. You just need to read the letters with the right mindset. John and Abigail were pretty much the only happy marriage of any of our founding fathers (the others were either full of tragedy or were political marriages), and they enjoyed the back-and-forth. Honestly, you could say they were the closest thing to soulmates you could find.
* [[Inverted Trope]] in the 2003 musical ''[[Avenue Q]],'' when Lucy the Slut tells a jilted [[The Everyman|Princeton]] that she isn't going to cling to "some well hung baby face kid, who leeches from his parents and can't get his act together!", and then stalks haughtily away. Princeton [[Aside Glance|slowly faces the audience]] and says, "I think I heard a compliment in there!" and proceeds to follow her off-stage.

In one episode, he was assaulted by a caller who, in a parody of ''[[Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]]'', called him a racist, a fruitbowl, a hambone, and a reptilian. However, Ghost only raged once he brought up "Hannukah night," failing to even notice the line after it accusing him of beating his son.

(sic) They responded by merely pointing out that there's only four of them (Although this is more about pointing out what an idiot the commenter is and disregarding their opinion since they can't count).
