Ironic Echo: Difference between revisions

 

Compare [[Flashback to Catchphrase]], [[Exact Words]], [[Book Ends]], and [[Dialogue Reversal]]. Subtrope of [[Meaningful Echo]]. [[Ironic Echo Cut]] is when the echo comes immediately and the second speaker has ''not'' heard the first. Can be a form of [[Hypocritical Humor]] or a [[Brick Joke]]. Doing this [[Recycled in Space|as a SONG]] is often a [[Dark Reprise]]. May often result from a [[Perspective Reversal]]. If the original use was innocent and amusing but the echo is bitter or shocking, this may result in a [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]].

 

== Anime & Manga ==

* In ''[[One Piece]]'', minor villain Bellamy condescendingly asks Luffy (who he believes to have a 30 million belli bounty, as compared to Bellamy's 50 million) "Do you even know how to throw a punch?" Luffy, who doesn't care much what an idiot like that says, doesn't reply until Bellamy ''really'' pisses him off by further insulting the friends he'd already beaten up. In a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] (of the entire series), as Bellamy rockets around on his springs while dramatically taunting him, Luffy calmly lifts up one fist and echoes "Do I know how to throw a punch?" He then takes the guy out ''[[Curb Stomp Battle|with one punch.]]''
