Instant Marksman, Just Squeeze Trigger: Difference between revisions

** Later, when the two eponymous heroes are facing the [[Big Bad]] and his legion of bulletproof henchmen, Marlboro Man says it again as sort of crash course training: "Don't yank. Don't pull. Squeeze." The trope is partially averted in this case, though, because no matter how many times he hears this advice, Harley Davidson's gun skills never get better.

* From [[Woody Allen|Woody Allen's]] ''[[Love and Death]]'':

'''Boris:''' Where did you go to finishing school? On a pirate ship? }}

* Leon gives this advice to Mathilda in ''[[The Professional]]'', allowing her to hit her target on the first try.

== Theatre ==

* Stephen Sondheim's ''[[Assassins (theatre)|Assassins]]'' sets this to music in "The Gun Song", which, apart from [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|doing exactly what it says on the tin]], contains the line:

''You can change the world . . .'' }}

 

== Webcomics ==

* Somewhat averted in ''[[Dead Winter]]''. After Liz [[Accidental Aiming Skills|headshots the wrong zombie]], Alice [http://deadwinter.cc/page/360 gives her] the usual "squeeze the trigger" advice. She fires again...and hits a vending machine.

 

== Western Animation ==

* In ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', Marge is shown how to shoot by former neighbor Ruth Powers in ''Marge on the Lam.'' Ruth tells Marge to squeeze the trigger, although she does not mention the part about not pulling the trigger. Marge does show immediate skill as a marksman.
