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

** Remember [[King of Fighters|Choi Bounge]] de yansu!
** [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Nipaah
*** I second this and would like to add a [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Hau au au]]. In light of the entire When They Cry franchise, I would also like to add an [[Umineko no Naku Koro ni|Uu uu]] and an [[Umineko no Naku Koro ni|Uryuu]] while I'm at it.
** [[Pinky and The Brain|Narf! Poit! Zort! Troz!]]
Line 31:

** [[Amadeus|Salieri]]
Line 115:
** Caim in Drakenguard, along with his whole party, barring Seere. An axe-crazy incestrous murderer, a dragon who thinks the only wise people are those who choose not to even be born, a madwoman who eats babies, and a pedophile preist. And that's your party. Plus a kid who never ages.
** [[God of War (series)|Kratos]]. Non-stop. The games never try to hide from you the fact that the guy is a [[Complete Monster]], and after the events of the first game you can pretty much cross off the Hero in [[Anti-Hero]] in regards to him.
** [[
** The Nazis from [[Das Boot]]. -Ziggy Zag
*** Disagree. Aside from one guy, they mostly seemed politically apathetic sailors just doing their jobs, making them [[Punch Clock Villain
*** [[Captain Obvious|Punch Clock Villains are still villains, aren't they? Hence the name.]] It's the most triumphant example because no other story I know of can so consistently make you root for them and feel for them before slapping yourself once more and reminding yourself of who they are. That ending alone seals the deal. -Ziggy Zag
** [[Richard III]].
Line 123:
** Alex from ''[[A Clockwork Orange (novel)|A Clockwork Orange]]''.
*** Seconded
** [[8-Bit Theater
** [[MW|Michio Yuki]].
* [[Villain Song]]

** [[Keith David]]'s "Friends on the Other Side" in ''[[The Princess and the Frog]]''
** [[Fern Gully|Toxic Love]] by [[Tim Curry|Hexxus]]
Line 143:
*** "There is a hell that has been building from the moment we first met." indeed. So very seconded.
** [[Aladdin (Disney film)|"Prince Ali (Reprise)", by Jafar]]
** [[The Nightmare Before Christmas|"Whoa-oh

* [[Villain with Good Publicity]]

Line 176:
* [[Vocal Minority]]
** [[Eagle Land|Americans]]. Most of them are not loud, boorish, fat, lazy, uncultured, stupid, etc. Shocking, isn't it.
** [[Straw Feminist
** [[Conspiracy
*** And [[QAnon|some]] far more than you're comfortable with.
** ''Avatar''-bashers, even now, well over a year after the film's release. For the want of good things said about the film on the internet by ''anyone anywhere'' (or even new jokes made about the same few perceived flaws by the haters), it is extremely difficult to consider the film's good reputation anything but mythical. Will it ''never'' end?! -[[Zuul MF]]

Line 190:
** River's magnificent fights in [[Firefly]]'s [[Grand Finale]].
*** Seconded.
* [["Wake
** [[Sin and Punishment 2|Orion Tsang]]. So you bulldoze through Stage 1, then comes this boss. And unlike the game up to this point, he '''does not''' fuck around.
** [[Demon's Souls|The Vanguard]]. Imagine this if you will, you buy demon's souls, hearing how [[Nintendo Hard]] it was, wanting to see if the reviews and so on were true. you boot up the system, and start a new game. At first your playing the Tutorial and your thinking "Wow, the people that played this game had to be jooking [[Tempting Fate|this is EASY.]]" And then, you walk through another wall of fog, expecting nothing to big and then, you see him, five times your size, with a huge cleaver to match. your attacks do little to nothing, and then he takes one swing at you, and that's it. The Vanguard is infamous to anyone who played demon's souls as the one that made one thing painfully clear, Demon's Souls does ''not'' fuck around.
Line 213:
** "[[The White Album]]" by [[The Beatles (band)|The Beatles]]. Bonus points for including the [[Trope Namer]].
* [[Wangst]]
** [[Clerks|I'm stuck in this pit, earning less than slave wages, working on my day off, dealing with every backward fuck on the planet, the goddamn steel shutters are locked all day, I smell like shoe polish,
** Again, ''[[Sonichu]]''. The author doesn't even bother with an attempt at subtlety.
** Simple Plan. Look no further than ''Welcome To My Life''
*** [[
** [[Twilight (novel)|Twilight...just Twilight.]]
*** Make that a more specific ''Twilight: New Moon'' and you've got yourself a "seconded". -Ziggy Zag
Line 234:
** [[Skies of Arcadia|MOON STONE CANNON, FIRE!!!]]
** [[Fate/stay night|Enuma Elish]], except that it's a Wave Motion [[This Is a Drill|Drill]] that splits the Heavens.
** [[
** [[Star Wars|Death Star]] superlaser.
** [[Touhou|Love Sign [Master Spark]]]
Line 243:
** [[Blame|Graviton Beam Emitter]] looks like a tiny handgun, except that it fire a beam 70 KM LONG laser that can blow holes in metal structures that shrugs off [[wikipedia:Tsar Bomba|big honking nukes]] like dirt.
* [[We Need a Distraction]]
** ''Stalag 17''. There could be a [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]] where [[Firefly|Jayne]] and [[Metal Gear|Solid Snake]] [[Show Some Leg|strip naked]] while singing "[[
** ''Grand Illusion'': A [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]
** [[The Lion King|"What am I supposed to do, dress in drag and do the hula?"]]

** [[Warhammer
** [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle|Skaven]], just [[Rodents of Unusual Size|S]][[You Dirty Rat|k]][[Swarm of Rats|a]][[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|v]][[Magitek|e]][[The Corruption|n]].
* [[We Were Rehearsing a Play]]
Line 256:
** ''[[Homestuck]]''. After [[Arc Number|413]] days of its run, it was still the same day in-comic.
*** IT'S BEEN IMPLIED TO EVEN BE ONLY A FEW HOURS. AND THE TROLLS ARE ON THEIR SAME DAY TOO. So very seconded.
*** As of December
*** As much as I wanted to give this to long-running contender [[Megatokyo]]... yeah, you can't beat Homestuck in this, [[Memetic Mutation|it is simply the best there is.]]
** ''[[Lost]]''; seasons 1-4 take place over 100 days and 5 and 6 a couple of weeks.
Line 268:
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]
** [[Order of the Stick|Redcloak]] - benj; NamonakiRei
** {{spoiler|[[Watchmen (comics)|Veidt]]}} -getmemygun, [[User:Man Without A Body]] (who sort-of agrees with the actions of the character in question. And probably with [[Alan Moore]].), [[User:Voodoo Child]].
** V from V for Vendetta
** [[Death Note|Light Yagami]].
Line 288:
** [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist Chapter 104]], holy ''fucking'' '''SHIT!''' - Dales Kaine
*** Seconded.
*** ''SO'' thirded. In fact, anything from chapter 95
*** Fourthed! And the most amazing part about it was the fact that the author could keep ''upping the ante''.
** [[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|Fullmetal Alchemist]] Episode 50. DAMN.
Line 300:
*** No, that wham was ''definitely'' the most effective wham (in animation, at least) on its own.
** [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|I Was Made To Love You]].
** [[Harry Potter|The Half Blood Prince]]
** [[Code Geass]] for Ep19 and nearly every episode in R2 18-25.
** [[8-Bit Theater
** "[[Lost|Through The Looking Glass]]"
** The [[Meaningful Name|Oh-So-Accuratly-Named]] [[The Dresden Files|"Changes"]]
Line 362:
** [[Pan's Labyrinth]]

** [[
** All of the "adult" animation that ''[[The Simpsons]]'' helped popularize.

** [[Seto no Hanayome]]. Just because of the finale.
** One word... [[Adventure Time|Algebraic.]]
** Again, [[
** [[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]]. It speaks for itself.
*** Seconded; this beats everything else. - PLZSIC

* [[The Woobie]]
** [[WALL-E]] Might as well call him WOOB-E (Credit goes out to whoever came up with that on the page for [[The Woobie]]).
** [[Supernatural (TV series)|Sam and Dean Winchester.]] I believe they are still the reigning gods of [[The Woobie
** [[South Park|Leopold "Butters" Scotch]]
** ''[[Digger]]'''s Ed the Hyena. Blood of the architect, Ed the Hyena.

** [[Peanuts|Charlie Brown]].
** [[House (TV series)|Doctor James Wilson]]. Especially after Season 4.
** [[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]] {{spoiler|Tomoya}}
** [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|The Elric brothers]]. Crap, pretty much the entire ''cast'' of Hagaren is comprised of woobies.
** [[Mitsumete Knight|Sophia Robelingue]]. It's a wonder how she's still sane and sweet after [[Break the Cutie|all the crap befalling on her]] ever since she's ''born''.
Line 480:
** [[Victorious|Robbie Shapiro]]. - excaruso
** [[Gorillaz|2D.]] It can actually be hard to sit through some Plastic Beach interviews, just because you have to listen to [[Jerkass|Murdoc]] beat him.

* [[Wreaking Havok]]
** ''Just Cause 2''. The game's ''main gimmick'' is being able to attach stuff to other stuff with a grapple rope. And about half of said stuff ''explodes''.
Line 573:
* [[Writers Cannot Do Math]]
** Bram Stoker, at least in ''[[Dracula (novel)|Dracula]]''
* [[
** ''[[Transformers: The Movie]]''. '''[[Citizen Kane|ORSON.]] [[The War of the Worlds (novel)||WELLES.]]''' As a '''TRANSFORMER.'''
*** [[Money, Dear Boy|"I play a big toy who does horrible things to a bunch of smaller toys."]]
** Joseph Gordon-Levitt as [[G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra|Cobra Commander]]. I don't even know [[G.I. Joe]] that well and it still boggles the mind!
** Heath Ledger as [[The Joker]]. It was the oddest choice, almost nobody (including myself) believed in it, and it turned out to be one of the best instances of a "so crazy it just might work" idea actually working in the history of filmmaking.
** The entire cast of ''[[Repo! The Genetic Opera]]''. [[Sarah Brightman]] alongside [[Halloween (film)|Bill Mosesley]] alongside [[Spy Kids|Alexa Vega]] alongside [[Skinny Puppy|Nivek Ogre]] alongside [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Anthony]] [[Merlin (TV series)|Stewart Head]] alongside Paris Hilton alongside [[Goodfellas|Paul Sorvino]]... and putting it all together, [[Yoshiki Hayashi]].
