Line 58:
'''Edward:''' You know what? You're not the only one who can't stand doubters, Preach'. [[Badass Boast|Here's the REAL hammer of God!]] }}
** This scene was, unfortunately, subjected to a lot of narm in ''Brotherhood,'' primarily in terms of animation. Worst of all, though, is that Ed's [[Badass Boast]] was changed to a simple, "You want it? You got it!" Combine this with it being changed from the big dethroning moment where Cornello's power is outdone in front of his followers to an ordinary fight scene, and this is pretty big disappointment.
* The one time {{spoiler|Claire Stanfield}} of ''[[Baccano!]]!'' breaks out a Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner (in the fourth novel, ''Drugs & the Dominoes'') he makes it count, quoting the [[Shout-Out|first spoken lines of dialog]] in the ''history of film'': "[[wikipedia:The Jazz Singer (1927 film)|You ain't heard nothing yet!]]"
** Jacuzzi in the anime, right before his [[Traintop Battle|traintop]] beatdown of Goose: "I have a gun...''in my heart!''"
* The hot-headed Kirie "Jump-to-conclusions" Kojima of ''[[Girls Bravo]]'' also does this often anytime she sees the protagonist Yukinari in a hard-to-explain situation.
Line 79:
** Also done by Beatrice just before {{spoiler|killing George and Shannon}} during the second game in the anime:
{{quote|'''Beatrice''': You think I'd let him say it!?! [[Baka|Duuumbaaaaass]]!!!}}
* [[Durarara!!|"Don't screw with the traffic police!"]]
** [[Memetic Badass|"You just went for my head, didn't you.]] [[Berserk Button|You know, you could've killed me, right?]] [[Crazy Awesome|And you knew that, which means you were]] ''[[Crazy Awesome|trying]]'' [[Crazy Awesome|to kill me, right?]] [[Unstoppable Rage|So no matter what happens to you now,]] ''[[The Berserker|you can't complain, right?]]''"
* Yusuke from ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]''. Anyone remember in the beginning when he was fighting Suzaku?
Line 421:
 
== Live Action TV ==
* Subversion: the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' episode "[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S3 /E12 Helpless|Helpless]]" had Buffy [[Brought Down to Normal]] for the duration, which also neutered her ability to deliver a suitable line when she finally managed to defeat the bad guy:
{{quote|'''Buffy:''' If I was at full Slayer power, I'd be punning right about now.}}
** In the episode "Anne", Buffy has run away from home and changed her name to Anne (her middle name). In the course of the episode, she finds herself trapped in a demonic dimension where humans are made into slave labor. One of the demons is trying to break the humans' spirit by asking them "Who are you" and hitting them if they answer anything but "No one". What does Buffy answers, just before kicking everyone's ass?
Line 635:
* In ''[[Fate/stay night|Fate Stay Night]]'' "Unlimited Blade Works", when {{spoiler|Shirou uses the titular ability for the first time, against Gilgamesh: "Here I come, King of Heroes. Do you have enough weapons in stock?"}}
** Which on the internet is [[Memetic Mutation|often paraphrased]] as "KING OF HEROES, DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH SWORDS?"
* ''[[Killer 7Killer7]]'' has Harman's first lines in the game "Good night child, it's past your bed time."
** And Dan's classic, "I went to see the Devil, now it's your turn."
* ''[[World of Warcraft]]'': Each of the Alliance & Horde faction leaders will deliver one of these if you attack them.
Line 717:
** In ''[[Neverwinter Nights 2]]'', this ultimately fails with Kaelyn the Dove, for which she can explain why. And this is one of her One Liners.
{{quote|Kaelyn: "Oh...you...oh, I don't know any profanities! How embarrassing..."}}
* ''[[EveEVE Online]]'' gives us this from the trailer for the latest expansion, called ''Incursion''. This particular one-liner precedes the collective ass-kicking of a ''galactic cluster, 4 established empires and their respective naval forces, and the player-base.''
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Sansha Kuvakei'''}}: "I will vanquish your fear, and commute your flesh...to dust."}}
* ''[[Wing Commander (video game)|Wing Commander]] Prophecy'' has Maestro's: "I think we haven't been properly introduced yet, I'm Maestro, you're dead,"
Line 842:
** Rainbow Dash, when she's about to start rounding out the parasprites in "Swarm of the Century":
{{quote|"Time to take out the adorable trash."}}
** "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 /E19 A Dog and Pony Show|A Dog and Pony Show]]":
*** When one of the Diamond Dogs tries to put a bridle on Applejack, she quips "If you can take this bull by the horns, you better be ready for a ride!" before starting to buck him off.
*** "A Dog and Pony Show" also gives us the precursor to a ''verbal'' ass-kicking:
