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.
Please list tropes alphabetically.
- Ugly Cute
- A lot of Redwall's vermin Mooks.
- Specifically, that little group of wanderers in Loamedge. Awwww.
- Howsabout Plugg Firetail's crew? They're about the only vermin group who actually seemed to like each other. Awww!
- Specifically, that little group of wanderers in Loamedge. Awwww.
- Digger's Ed. And, for that matter, The Lion King's Ed and his buddies.

- Doctor Who Series 5. Rory Williams. Two thousand years guarding the Pandorica and his girlfriend Amy, never sleeping, always conscious.
- Uncanny Valley

- Un-Equal Rites
- Un Evil Laugh
- Unexplained Recovery
- Pete Hutter. "That's the thing about your Chinese death stars...an hour later, you're alive again."
- Commander Shepard during Mass Effect 2. S/He's called out on this a lot.
- The Unfavourite
- In the early days of this wiki, this trope would most certainly have been named for Jan Brady.
- "Forget it, Donnie. You're out of your element."
- MEG GRIFFIN. It's pretty much her only actual character trait.
- Faramir.
- Poor, poor Doofenschmirtz...

- Ender Freakin Wiggin! Since he was six!!! As one of his teachers says: Ender Wiggin is no killer. He just wins. Thoroughly.
- Unfortunate Implications
- FATAL. All of it.
- Early Disney Animated Canon.
- The Birth of a Nation. One of the best films ever made seen purely from a detached, filmic angle; and one of the worst when viewed purely from a human, moral, emotional angle. Can any work in any medium beat that little dichotomy?
- Doesn't count; it was intentional.
- Unacceptable Targets
- Unfazed Everyman
- Kyon
- As much as I want to say it's the Trope Namer... Kyon has Arthur Dent beat.

- Unmoving Pattern: Gankutsuou
- Unpleasable Fanbase
- Harry Potter. If the winner is unable to perform his duties, they will be taken over by Star Wars. And if the runner-up is unable to perform their duty, it will be taken over by Supernatural
- The winner is Star Wars. As that page quote on this very wiki says, it's the only franchise defined by the way that fans, by definition, despise almost everything about it, and you know non-fans by their suspicious all-around approval of it.
- World of Warcraft. The forum will find a way to complain about every change in every patch or die trying.
- While attempting to kill everyone else in the process. And their mothers.
- Professional Wrestling
- Final Fantasy. 'Nuff said.
- Sonic the Hedgehog. The recent Sonic 4 somehow made things even more worse for them.
- Fallout has the No Mutants Allowed forums. Let's just leave it at that.
- Evangelion. Anno has trained us well.
- Transformers- Ruined FOREVER for twenty six years and counting!
- Doctor Who, indubitably. Ruined FOREVER on at least 30 occasions, there's a reason why the usual saying is that for every fan that loves something about the show, there are 15 others who hate it, and vice versa.
- Video Games in general.
- Jagex, make an update. Any update.
- Gaia Online, make an update. Any update. Or don't.
- The Simpsons. Where do you think they got the idea for many of Comic Book Guy's ways?
- Team Fortress 2. If you ever go to SPUF, there will always be someone complaining about something, no matter how small it is.
- Victorious. For every ten people who love Tori's singing, there's a Jade fan who thinks Tori is irredeemable whether she tries to be nasty or nice. And so on.
- After the iCarly Shipping Wars, why not give the career prize to Dan Schneider ?
- Warrior Cats. Nearly every character and major book is a Base Breaker.
- Harry Potter. If the winner is unable to perform his duties, they will be taken over by Star Wars. And if the runner-up is unable to perform their duty, it will be taken over by Supernatural
- Unreliable Narrator
- Unresolved Sexual Tension
- Mulder and Scully. Dear god.
- Richard Castle and Kate Becket.
- Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler, so much.
- Unsettling Gender Reveal
- |Kappei Hiiragi. Fun to imagine Sunohara in denial.
- Naruto and Haku
- seconded. This troper is still in denial.
- Johnny's reaction to the one and only Bridget himself. "I can't believe I just tried to seduce another man..."
- Seconded.
- M. Butterfly: Why is it that in Chinese opera, female roles are traditionally played by a man? Because only a man knows how a women is "supposed" to behave.
- The Crying Game.
- Raita Ooishi
- Edgar
- Unsound Effect
- Homestuck.
- Cuanta Vida and "Ignore".
- Unstoppable Rage
- If Godzilla is angry, it's pretty much guaranteed that a major city (usually Tokyo) is going to be reduced to rubble.
- Naruto's reaction to Pain stabbing Hinata in chapter 437 doesn't even begin to describe how pissed he was.
- Do not fuck with Cuchulain.
- The Incredible Hulk.
- If Ryoma Nagare is angry, prepare for heads, robots, monsters, demons, gods, planets, dimensions and laws of physics to be broken. SEVERELY.
- Bleach: Ichigo's Super Hollow Form. His acts of violence include brutally mauling Ulquiorra, and impaling Ishida, his friend and the guy who was just trying to keep him from desecrating a corpse, with his sword. He was on the verge of finishing Ishida off when Ulquiorra proved to be Not Quite Dead.
- Takamura pulling this trope on Bryan Hawk was by far the greatest use of the trope I have ever seen.
- Goku's first Super Saiyan transformation after Krillin got killed by Frieza. Holy shit.
- Seras Victoria after Pip was killed by Zorin the result was 90% of head was turned in a smear on the wall.
- Asura blows everyone on this section out of the water when it comes to this trope. EVERYONE! He has so much rage the only way to kill him. He only comes back angrier each time.
- Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist
- Basil Fawlty
- Grace Adler
- Al Bundy.
- All five main characters in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. They are perhaps the most greedy, self-centered characters to ever appear on television. And you will laugh all the way.
