Line 98:
* The fighting manga-esque ping pong battle in ''[[The Wallflower|Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge]]'' (Video available [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOE04nchmv0 here] at the moment).
* Ever silly, a [[Recap Episode]] of ''[[Excel Saga (anime)|Excel Saga]]'' had quite possibly the most epic scene of setting up dominoes that has ever been made.
* ''[[
** Earlier in the story there is a epic poker match that involves fighting for souls, people being turned into poker chips and two people trying to out-cheat each other. Oh yeah, and the hero breaks the villain's finger for what seems like nothing at first (but is quickly shown to be interrupting a cheating attempt). The last wager knocks the villain out.
** Part Two has the chariot race between Joseph and Wham, which involves vampire horses, a giant war-hammer, a pillar being used as a weapon, massive crossbows, Wham [[Eye Scream|blinding himself]] to avoid being tricked, and several [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]. And it truly ''is'' awesome.
Line 125:
** Ranma himself [[Lampshade|lampshades]] the tendencies of other martial artists to do this by [[Calling Your Attacks|giving fancy flowery names to maneuvers]] such as "Ultimate Serenity Strike" or the like and later agreeing quite calmly that it was "just a backrub."
* ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'' parodies the living daylights out of this trope. About once an episode, Keroro tries to turn his dialogue into a dramatic declamation... about vacuuming... or model building... or going to the toy store...
* Employed several times in ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]? Fumoffu''
** In the hot springs episode: Kurz Weber's [[Lovable Sex Maniac]] antics collide with Sousuke's always-excessive security measures, with epic results. Kurz delivers 2 "inspirational" speeches to Sousuke's classmates, the 2nd of which sends Kazama into [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|SEED mode]].
** One episode of season 1 features [[Humongous Mecha]] engaging in fierce battles of tug-o-war and ping-pong.
Line 203:
* ''[[Mayoi Neko Overrun]]'''s [[Onsen Episode]] gave us ''badass ping-pong playing'' (Though sandwiched in it there was a minute of [[Padding]])
** Episode 8 brings in the director of ''[[Saki (manga)|Saki]]'' to deliver a spot-on parody via the medium of ''Epic Jenga''.
* The snowball fight in episode 19 of ''[[
* ''[[Soul Eater]]'' has an episode devoted entirely to the main characters taking a test. The whole thing is made of this trope, but some stand out moments include Soul's AWESOME CHEATING SKILLS, Patty's AWESOME GIRAFFE MAKING/KILLING SKILLS and Liz's AWESOME HAIR PLUCKING SKILLS. And then, just when it couldn't get anymore awesome, Black☆Star's AWESOME AUTOGRAPH, [[Couldn't Find a Pen|written in blood]], with a backing track of heavy metal.
** What do you mean it couldn't get anymore awesome? Death the Kidd suffers, sweats, cries and finally dies for not being able to WRITE A PERFECTLY SYMMETRIC LETTER "K". Also, his pencil broke and his testpaper ripped.
