Line 1:
{{trope}}{{Sugar Wiki}}
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.
Line 10:
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.

*** Synchro monsters. Oh god synchro monsters.
**
** [[Final Fantasy VIII|The End]]
** The [[Blow You Away|Holsety]] spell tome in ''[[Fire Emblem|Fire Emblem :]]'' [[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Seisen no Keifu]].
Line 74:
** [[Backyard Sports|Dmitri Petrovich]].
* [[Gargle Blaster]]
** The best one is drunk by Steve from [[Life and Death]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20121017111244/http://www.drunkduck.com/Life_and_Death/4838166/ here].
* [[Gatling Good]]
** Real Life: The GAU-8 Avenger
Line 85:
** Okay, how about [[Irregular Webcomic]], where the author discussions have included an explanation of Banach-Tarski.
* [[Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke]]
** [[Watchmen (comics)|Dr. Manhattan]]. Silk Spectre I even points out to her daughter that she's "sleeping with an H-bomb."

** For Gundam, it's a tie for the illustrious Bright Noah's patented [[Bright Slap]] and Jamil, whose words are quoted on the page.
** [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Simon]] teleporting (one of only two instances of such a feat) and punching out Rossiu.
*** I second that, although Kamina's "GRINT THOSE TEETH" moment was also pretty awesome.
** [[Garth Marenghi's Darkplace|Dr. Rick Dagless, MD,]] punching Liz in the face at every possible opportunity.
** ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'', made especially hilarious because he used ''Buzz's own arm'' to do it.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]
** [[30 Rock]], hands down. A show that can slip "It wouldn't be a [[Shock Site|Lemon Party]] without [[Double Entendre|old Dick]]!" past censors and moral guardians ''on prime-time network television'' is going to be a tough act to follow.
Line 141:
*** Seconded. A few episodes had Rocko working at a ''phone sex hotline''. Even ''[[Animaniacs]]'' could never push things that far. --
** [[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]], anyone? With such lines as "If mother sees this, she will blow a cow." and "That's not a Volvo.", the show might have reached new ground in Radar territory.
** ''[[
** [[The Grim Adventures of Billy
** [[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]. Snuck a sexual prelude scene onto TV-Y7.
*** Especially since they gave him a flower necklace in his next scene. Y'know, just in case you weren't positive that he got lei'd.
Line 159:
** [[Dan Schneider]]. Hard to pick a specific series let alone instPance.
*** If we must pick one, I'd vote for [[Victorious]], seeing as two episodes generated enough innuendo for that show to merit it's own Radar page.
** [[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]] Remember this was made by Disney and the animators got away with [https://web.archive.org/web/20101231021928/http://daily.likeme.net/lm/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Jessica-Rabbit.jpg this] - [[Tropes/Girlonethemoon|Girlonethemoon]]
** ''[[Adventure Time]]''
*** Seconded.

** [[Clannad (visual novel)|Sanae]] [[Absurdly Youthful Mother|Furukawa]]
* [[Gratuitous English]]
** Terry Bogard (''[[Fatal Fury]]'', ''[[The King of Fighters]]'') is Engrish incarnate. I don't think he's ever uttered a word in Japanese...not that there's anything wrong with that. ARE YOU OK?!
Line 306:
** [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]] The announcer with his catchphrase: "EVERYBODY LISTEN!"
** Date Masamune of [[Sengoku Basara]] fame PUT YA GUNS ON!!!!!
** [[Lucky Star]] full stop. Even its opening [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuRCYQRsTx8 (Motteke! Se-ra-fuku)] abuses the trope.
** Not only is the amount of English text used in [[Tiger and Bunny]] staggering, but its all accurate and grammatically correct.
** '''[[Nichijou|God is Dead!]]'''
Line 322:
** [[Brave Fencer Musashi|Binchotite.]] It not only gets [[New Powers as the Plot Demands]] (from making floating islands to being refined into fuel to capturing people to powering Musashi's special abilities to making [[Super Soldiers]]), it's also green, and a rock (when exposed to air).
** You HAVE to admit [[Superman|Kryptonite]] is the original example.
** [[
* [[Grey and Grey Morality]]
** ''[[Rose of the Prophet]].'' Despite a setting where there are gods and their factions of followers who are specifically ''labelled'' as "good", "evil" and "neutral", nothing is ever in black and white. Even a man who borders on a [[Complete Monster]] in his actions can still be a powerful, trustworthy and even admirable ally. The final conflict is fought, not between the forces of good and evil, but the forces of chaotic neutral and lawful neutral.
Line 351:
** [[Suzumiya Haruhi]]. ''EIGHT. FRIGGIN. EPISODES.''
** ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]''

** [[Batman]]
* [[Guilty Pleasure]]
** [[To
** The [[Pokémon]] anime. I have done my research and yes, pokemon has appeared more often on the [[Troper Tales]] [[Guilty Pleasure]] than ANYTHING else.
** [[My Balls]]. The plot is halfways decent, and it's certainly funny, but anything involving the sheer ridiculous amount of fanservice and not just straight up calling itself a [[Hentai]] (it ''claims'' to be [[Ecchi]]) definitely goes here.
Line 393:
* [[Guttural Growler]]

Line 596 ⟶ 595:
** The scene in the second ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' movie where they get up on stage and dance with Vanilla Ice.
** Volfogg from ''[[GaoGaiGar]]''. He's a giant purple transforming robot after all! (it doesn't get more highly-visible than that!) And yet, he's incredibly stealthy thanks his intelligent use of [[Master of Illusion|holographic projections]] and his [[Cloaking Device]].

Line 684 ⟶ 683:
** [[Final Fantasy Dissidia]]. ''Every single line''. Then again in a game where almost all the characters are muscular tightly-clad bishonen hitting each other with phallic objects it is to be expected.

Line 882 ⟶ 873:
** ''[[The Fox and the Hound (film)]]''. I know it's Disney, but what the everloving fuck - ''how'' do you turn a [[The Fox and The Hound (novel)|documentary-style novel]] about hunting lore and natural history that lets you read the animal characters' languageless thoughts into a talking animals musical about racism? '''HOW?!'''

** [[Lupin
* [[Insult Backfire]]
** [[Wizards of Waverly Place|Harper Finkle.]] Doesn't get much more "triumphant" than rewiring your brain so that any and all insults come off as compliments.
* [[Insurmountable Waist-Height Fence]]
** ''[[VVVVVV]]''. Doing Things The Hard Way. Six screens of dodging spikes coming and going, all to get over a single roadblock no higher than your character's knee
** Pretty much the only way to train range or use magic for combat in [[
** [[The Sims]] has to be mentioned, if only for it being such a well-known "flaw" in the game.
** ''[[Golden Sun]]''. Apparently there is no way to step over those ankle-high rocks...
Line 986 ⟶ 978:
** The ''[[Rune Factory]]'' series. While in most games [[Item Crafting]] is simply some side thing you don't have to bother with, here the [[Item Crafting]] system is incredibly deep and central to the game, tying the farming and dungeon aspects together very nicely.
** [[Infinite Undiscovery]].

** '''[[Berserk]]''' loves this trope
** ''[[Narutaru]]''. Nothing else compares to {{spoiler|having your father die, then having your mother die, then your best friend, then your boyfriend and your/his monster partner, and then finally saying fuck you to the world and destroying it with your incredible godlike powers. This all happens in the last 2 chapters.}}
Line 999 ⟶ 991:
** [[Eversion]]
** [[Claymore]]
** [[Now and Then, Here and There]]. As put by one troper, this is ''[[It Got Worse]]: The Series''.
** ''[[One Piece]]''. To think this was a nice, fun, and happy series... it all went downhill when poor Luffy {{spoiler|lost his crew, was sent to a distant island, learned his brother was going to be executed, broke into a maximum security prison, found out his brother was already gone by the time he reaches the lowest floor, ran all the way back up, went to the Marine HQ, fought the marines, and his brother still ended up giving his life to save him, causing him to go into a traumatic trance that lasted for several weeks. After learning his brother died and that it wasn't a dream, he completely breaks down and cries.}} Meanwhile, with {{spoiler|Whitebeard dead}}, not only are islands that were formerly under his control now fighting for domination, but Blackbeard has both {{spoiler|the Yami Yami Fruit}} ''and'' {{spoiler|the Gura Gura Fruit}} and now declares himself the strongest pirate of this new age (At this point, it's improbable to argue). [[Book Ends|To think this was a nice, fun, and happy series...]]
