Line 91:
* In ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'' Satoko's breakdown in episode 10 involves her somehow throwing a guy twice her size all the way across the room, with the chair he's sitting on. The voice actor's delivery, combined with the music, is what makes the scene work.
** [[Madness Mantra|"Gomenasai...gomenasai...gomenasai...gomenasai...."]]
* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]''. Father's expression are often over the top, but he's still the main source of [[Nightmare Fuel]] of all the series... {{spoiler|especially when he looked pregnant of Hohenheim after having just absorbed him... but his [[One-Winged Angel]] form was '''''absolutely terrifying'''''}}.
* Episode 167 of ''[[Naruto]]'' Shippuden. Full stop. It goes into full-on Looney Toons action at various points, including the "hammer person into ground without killing them" and "Road Runner legs" effects. Yet, it can also be absolutely awesome.
** Sasuke's [[Evil Laugh]] in Shippuden episode 214 and manga chapter 483 is Narm Charm. It's hilarious mainly because it's ''[[The Comically Serious|Sasuke]]'' but it also shows how [[Ax Crazy|far gone he is]].
Line 163:
* [[Batman]] films have a fair amount:
** Certain scenes in ''[[The Dark Knight]]'', less by not killing the drama and more for injecting a little realism—not to mention [[The Woobie|pity]]. Not everyone can [[Say My Name|bellow their beloved's name]] and sound bereaved and heroic, you know.
*** And the Joker's socks when he's sitting in his cell. Helps that both they and Heath are [[TV Tropes Made of Win Archive]].
*** Batman's rusty voice. Some people went along with it because he was obviously trying to disguise his real voice, but it became unintentionally funny when he started using it in front of [[Morgan Freeman]]'s character, who already knew who he was.
**** [[Fridge Brilliance|There have been comics that have played with the idea that Bruce Wayne is the mask and Batman is the real person. Perhaps Bruce felt it was best that Lucius would see his true self in order to cooperate]]
Line 170:
*** "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb."
** A lot of the enjoyment found in ''[[Batman and Robin (film)|Batman and Robin]]'' is from this and Freeze's puns.
* Every line delivered by Schuler Hensley as [[Frankenstein]]'s monster in the 2004 movie. ''[[Van Helsing]]'' is full of win.
* Richard Roxburgh's ''[[Dracula]]'' is the same, to a slightly lesser degree.
* [[Brian Blessed]] has fans who consider his [[Large Ham]] acting to be the best part.
Line 450:
** More subjectively, the setting can feel like the writers are just trying too hard. [[Memetic Mutation]] clearly shows that some people love it for that anyway.
** Read any description of something from ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' on this wiki and you find something so incredibly absurd that it becomes absurdly incredible. For example:
{{quote|The Sisters Repentia, that is those who have deemed themselves to have "failed" in some way, charge into battle [[Full-Frontal Assault|virtually naked]], with maybe a few scraps of cloth, prayer votives ''nailed'' into them, and a blindfolding hood (along with a [[BFSBlade of Fearsome Size|six foot long]] [[Chainsaw Good|chainsword]]) and are lead/chastised into battle by what can only be described as a Dominatrix in [[Power Armor]] that is [[Dual-Wielding]] electric whips...}}
** Really, the whole setting could be summed up by saying it's ''Warhammer'' in space with deliberate over the top Grimdark black comedy and Narm Charm.
