I Take Offense to That Last One: Difference between revisions

{{examples}}

* One Coke Zero ad shows an eye arguing with a pair of tongues. The eye tells the tongue it's drinking Coke Zero. One of the tongues says, "Know why we don't like you, Eye? Because you're a big, fat liar." The eye gasps. "I am ''not'' fat!"

* A TV ad for Helio mobile products had a daughter bring home a man of a different race. She doesn't care about the very offensive things her parents say, but she does get upset over their calling his Helio a "phone".

* ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'':

{{quote|'''Misty:''' You can stuff your greedy little face ''after'' we find a Pokemon Center!

** Note that on all of these occasions, the worst they ever called Ed is short; the elaboration is all Ed's.

* Happens sometimes with Obélix in the ''[[Asterix]]'' comics:

{{quote|'''Obélix:''' I may be a traitor, but I am '''not fat'''!}}

'''Alfred:''' I take exception to that. There is not a speck of dust collecting on those portraits. }}

{{quote|'''Duke:''' They say you're a loser with a fetish for dressing up like animals.

'''Joey:''' I am not a loser! }}

'''L:''' [[Lampshade Hanging|I am amazed at which part of that statement you find offensive.]] }}

* From ''[[Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas]]''. Note that {{spoiler|in this case, lying is the most relevant. Because he told the truth, Eris has to give the [[MacGuffin|book]] back.}}

{{quote|'''Eris:''' You're a selfish, unprincipled liar!

'''Mr. Garrison:''' Eric, did you just say the F-word?

'''Cartman:''' ... "Jew"? }}

== Films -- Live-Action ==

* In ''[[OSS 117: Lost in Rio|OSS 117 Lost in Rio]]'', 117 is told that he's misogynistic and borderline racist, but objects to being called a a tacky dresser.

* [[Bobbie Faye]] of the similarly named series' response to being accused of blowing things up is that she hasn't... [[Walking Disaster Area|recently]].

* ''[[Discworld]]''

'''Jaime:''' ''(to himself)'' Innocent? The wretched boy was spying on us. }}

* ''[[Everwood]]'':

{{quote|'''Ephram:''' Ever since Mom died you've been acting like a moron. You grow that ugly-ass beard, you uproot your family and move us out to the middle of Nowhereswille, and why? Because someone once told you it's pretty? You're insane!

* In ''[[Power Rangers SPD]]'', Anubis "Doggie" Kruger had barely survived nearly being assassinated and he's in the hospital unconscious. As he's there, Dr. Kat Manx is talking to him, trying to encourage him to wake up. In the end, she calls him a "stubborn old dog". The first words Doggie says coming to? "I'm not an old dog".

* This [[bash.org]] [http://www.bash.org/?777323 quote.]

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20110921014719/http://imgur.com/gallery/kf9m5 This hilarious exchange] on Facebook.

* 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 [[WWE]] sucked, causing Foley to cheap shot Funk with a punch.

* After [[CM Punk]] calls John Laurinaitus a typical middle management, boring, out of touch, suck-up [[Yes-Man]]:

{{quote|'''Laurinaitis''': First of all, I'm ''upper'' management.}}

* A variation (or an aversion) appears in radio comedy ''[[About A Dog]]'', after Muriel's lover turns out to be married. Sarah is her daughter:

{{quote|'''Sarah:''' Oh Mum, I'm so sorry.

'''Sarah:''' And you're not an old woman. }}

* ''[[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.

* A variation is used in the musical ''[[1776|Seventeen Seventy Six]]''. 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.

'''Actor:''' Yes, but I'm also a drunkard. }}

* ''[[Destroy All Humans!]]'':

{{quote|'''Farmer's Wife:''' AAAH! Little green spacemen!

{{quote|'''Kevin:''' You know, there's no such thing as Santa.

'''Homestar:''' What!? ''([[Spit Take]])'' Strong Bad told me it was sour cream and The Cheat hair! }}

* ''[[Narbonic]]'':

{{quote|'''Woman in Lost and Found:''' But who would claim a rotting, scarred, incredibly whiny zombie head?

'''Sabine:''' HEY! Who are you calling a devil?? }}

* ''[[Tales of MU]]'' combines this with [[Delayed Reaction]]:

{{quote|"You are the fat, loud girl's girlfriend," she said.

* The people behind The Gentlemen's Rant made a series of videos called The Gentlemen's Response, where they respond to comments left on their youtube videos. One such comment was "blugh! what is with these same 5 boring, ugly, whiny, deep nasally-voice, depressing, lame joke, dead beat loosers." (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).

* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''

{{quote|'''June:''' Oh great. It's prince pouty. Where's your creepy grandpa?

'''King:''' Who are you calling old?! }}

** That one is especially hilarious, because by "old friend" Sokka meant "long-term friend/friend from past times", not "aged".

{{quote|'''Harley Quinn:''' And here you thought I was just another bubble-headed blond bimbo! Well, the joke's on you, I'm not even a real blond!}}

* [[Playing with a Trope|Played with]] a few times in ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'':

'''Hank:''' Now hold on there, fella, a joke's a joke but now you've gone too far. You see propane is actually odorless, what you smell was put there by man for safety reasons... }}

* When Michael Buckly made fun of rival figure skaters Evan Lysacek and Johnny Weir on his [[YouTube]] show ''What the Buck?'', declaring that the wannabe-macho Evan and flamboyant Johnny were "totally doing it" and probably texted each other all day, Johnny posted the following message to Buckley's [[Myspace]] in response: "Love it, bitch! We totally don't text!"

* Byron Hall, author of the disturbing RPG ''[[FATAL]]'' objected to an RPG.net review calling it "the date rape RPG", retorting "Another faulty conclusion drawn by Darren. Where is dating included?"
