This is simply what you think is the (not some of the, the) best example of any trope (an objective trope, not subjective, since this already is subjective). The "Crowning Example" if you will.

There could be several reasons you think an example is the best.

• You thinks it's the best in terms of illustrating the trope.
• You think it's the most well done.
• It's your favorite play in that trope.
• You just really like the source material.

Oh, and each troper gets one example per trope, no more. Also, don't go "no, this is," or phrases like that. This is about our own personal favorites.

  • Naruto. Shipping. That is all. - Beta Maxis
  • Fallout. No Mutants Allowed, full stop. (Also a very strong contender for They Changed It, Now It Sucks.) - Technogeek

  • The Minecraft "fans" who CRASHED THE SERVER because updates were going to be slow that month.

  • Zero Punctuation. I've never played the game and I sure don't plan on it now, but that review was dead on as always, Yahtzee! Thanks for saving me the effort of forming my own opinion!
  • Final Fantasy. When it comes to the games, it's at the point where it's difficult to tell the difference between a legit criticism, and hate fueled by the Nostalgia Filter.
  • Even the author admits that Harry/Hermione shippers are "delusional".
  • Pixar. OMG Cars 2 had a couple of moments that didn't make me cry as hard as Toy Story 3! Pixar has become DreamWorks and is Ruined FOREVER!

  • About half the characters in Bleach. Mostly for the captains, though. And many of them are hilarious.
    • Seconded
  • Claymore "Noodles", the loli of the west.

  • Mahou Sensei Negima: Magic, Kung Fu, Ninja, Demons (and half demons), Dragons, vampires, Humongous Mecha, Samurai, Time Travel, Anti-Magic, Art Initiates Life, Telepathy, Snipers, Magitek...we could go on for hours.
    • I'd like to add that Setsuna is a half demon ki powered swordsman lesbian schoolgirl bodyguard with telekinetic knives and wears a maid outfit and cat ears at one point. Not That There's Anything Wrong with That.
  • Touhou: The land of Gensokyo, where if people believe it doesn't exist anymore here, it does there.

  • Sergeant Kal Skirata in (Darth) Karen Traviss' Republic Commando books. Many of the character frequently refer to him as Buir: Mando'a for "mother/father/parent."
  • Cmdr. (later Admiral) Bill Adama. If adult adoption were legal, everyone would be an Adama.
  • Zachary Foxx - show this trope to a Galaxy Rangers fan and watch them start snickering. He's the most blatant about it to the youngest two Rangers (Niko and Shane) who don't have parents.
  • Whitebeard
  • Sgt. Jackrum of Monstrous Regiment, even he's really a mother to his women
