Jerkass Realization: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

'''Donkey''': "Oh and it is LOVELY. You know, you're really quite a decorator. It's amazing what you've done with such a modest budget. I like that boulder. That is a NICE boulder."|''[[Shrek]]''}}

* [[Mortal Kombat]] Raiden is fond of this trope in the first film.

** Rare humorous Jerkass Realization.

* ''[[Shrek]]'' Donkey says who would want to live in a place like that. That would be Shrek's home.

** Another Shrek one is where Shrek mistakenly thinks Fiona is talking about him when she says "Big, stupid, ugly beast", he is very rude to her the following day. Donkey sets him straight later though.

* ''Mr. Deeds'' When Babe is stuck in the Ice Hole and she is asking Deeds for help. Deeds doesn't beleive her and thinks she is trying to play him again, he even lectures her again, then she goes under and doesn't come back up, (till he saves her)

** Tony does this when talking about Gibbs often, he mentions things like his divorce rate, or something about bourbon, cue the scene of Gibbs standing behind him, or walking in from nowhere.

* ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'' A rare moment when a character actually realizes that they've said something terrible:

'''Tobias''': I'm sorry, that was one hundred percent inappropriate and I do apologize profusely. I do apologize profusely, I'm - oh... }}

* In Episode 2x04 of ''[[Glee]]'', [[Mary Sue|Rachel Berry]] has a self-inflicted one of these when she finally realizes that her determination to win at everything and hog all the spotlight, all the time, has made her into a genuinely loathsome individual. She then spends the rest of the episode trying to lose at something so she can consider herself a good person again. Shame it doesn't last - by Episode 2x09 she's walking into class with her mouth taped up in protest over someone else being featured at Sectionals, and when her eternal rival Quinn Fabray hands her [[What the Hell, Hero?|an immensely satisfying talking-to]] about the selfish 'schoolgirl bubble' in which she lives her life in 2x15, all it inspires is a dreary self-justificatory whine set to music - but it was nice while it did...

* Parodied in ''[[Ansem Retort]]''.

'''Axel:''' Wow, we're [[Jerkass|assholes]]. }}
