Line 8:
* '''Inverted''': Bob is itching to attack the enemy and often talks about how he longs for glory and honour in battle. When the actual attack starts, he follows the plan to the letter.
** When the attack starts, Bob is the only one sticking to the plan. Everyone else runs in recklessly.
*** [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]
*** [[We Need a Distraction]]
* '''Subverted''': Bob is at odds with his his superior, Alice, who is determined to follow the plan and repeated drills her subordinates until they can do it in their sleep. When the actual attack starts, Alice charges ahead while Bob follows the plan.
Line 15:
* '''Double Subverted''': Bob constantly talks about how he can't wait to fight, putting him at odds with Alice. When the time for the battle arrives, Alice invites him to attack the enemy by himself. Bob decides that it's a better idea to stick to the plan. A minute later he decides waiting is boring and charges ahead anyway.
* '''Parodied''': Bob charges the enemy and his friends expect him to be killed, turning away in horror. They open their eyes when they hear the enemy retreating in fear of the single soldier attacking them.
* '''Deconstructed''': Bob charges forth, ruining the plan, and gets quickly slaughtered. Despite this, a victory is still managed, [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|albeit with massive loss of life]]. However, due in part to a painting made of the battle, depicting Bob charging bravely, weapon swung high, while his comrades seemingly cower in fear, Bob goes down in history as a [[Fake Ultimate Hero|hero and a martyr]]. Every word he ever spoke becomes a famed quote, and every politician and every idiot in a [[Flame War]] [[Misaimed Fandom|liken themselves to the heroic Bob]], charging forward with their beliefs, regardless of the oppression of their opponents. All because Bob was way, way [[Too Dumb to Live]].
* '''Reconstructed''': However, Bob's contemporaries later reveal that had he not done that, they wouldn't have had the drive to win what was a key battle. While he may not have been a hero in the traditional sense, Bob's sacrifice was still necessary to their victory.
* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
