Line 35:
* [[Naruto|Neji]] gets two of these after his rants about fate and destiny. One from Hinata, and another from Naruto.
** Also, after Kabuto gives Naruto a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] and tries to kill him Naruto's response is to tell him that he refuses to die until he becomes Hokage and drives a Rasengan into Kabuto's stomach.
** Chapter 495 has the
** And Naruto gave two of these to Pain right at the beginning of their fight. "Didn't I tell you to SHUT THE HELL UP?!" {{spoiler|He then proceeds to '' throw'' [[Took a Level In Badass|a Rasen-Shuriken]] at the group.}}
*** The titular character is practically this trope personified. If any villain tries a [[Break Them by Talking]] odds are his response will be to attempt to hit them with something that will hurt.
** Kin gives a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] to Sakura as she's keeping her restrained by the hair. "My my, what soft and shiny hair. But you know what? If you spent a little less time shampooing, and a little more time practicing your jutsu, you might not be in this fix! Hey Zaku, I know what would be fun. Let's make Ms. Beauty Queen watch while you finish off that Sasuke guy!" Sakura's
** Chapter 538: {{spoiler|Its revealed that the Nine-Tails has almost gotten its full form back from feeding from Naruto's chakra and begins [[Break Them by Talking]] to show how gullible and foolish Naruto is becoming about the War and Sasuke. However, Naruto retaliates, after the flashback he asks "Are you done yet?" walks right into the seal and slams Nine-Tails down by the Torii so they could talk face to face. He then tells the fox that ''he's'' the fool, and that he'd find something to do about the war and Sasuke.}}
** Chapter 576: After multiple pages of {{spoiler|Madara insulting her skills as a Senju, medic-nin, and kunoichi, Tsunade gives him a
** Chapter 577: {{spoiler|Madara gets another
** In chapter 581 {{spoiler|Kabuto says he and Sasuke are not so different because they both wish for the destruction of the Leaf Village and says that he should join him. In response, Sasuke says he's doing it for himself alone. When Kabuto tries a sympathetic angle about his life as a spy discarded by Konoha, Itachi points out all that means is that Kabuto's a superb liar}}.
* ''[[Mazinger Z|Kouji Kabuto]]'' is a [[Hot-Blooded]], impulsive hero is more liable to punch the villain than explain to him why he or she sucks, but he got some good throughout the years.
Line 96:
'''Luffy''': ''"I understand very well. Sogeking, shoot that flag."'' }}
* In ''[[Houshin Engi]]'', this was done rather brilliantly by Taikoubou (when he {{spoiler|changed back to being Fukki}}) after his fight with Jyoka. Jyoka started giving him the [[Break Them by Talking|the breaking speech]] about how {{spoiler|the reason he revealed to the humans that they were being manipulated by her wasn't because he didn't like the idea of her being in power - it was because he wanted them to have "free will"}}, and his response? "No. You're wrong idiot, die." It doesn't get more blunt than that.
* During the final showdown with Dr. Scalietti in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] StrikerS'', Fate is overwhelmed by his [[Break Them by Talking]] (and a couple of painful [[
* Played with in ''[[Gate Keepers]]''. After [[Big Bad]] Kageyama makes his big speech about humanity being full of maggots and what has to be done to properly cleanse the world, Ukiya skips past his use of "sophisticated arguments" and says he's going overboard. This actually seems to throw him a little off-balance. Then the end of the episode happens. {{spoiler|Kageyama personally meets with Megumi, who sees through the rhetoric and denounces his claims as the words of a big, fat liar... then sticks around to finalize her [[Face Heel Turn]] anyway.}}
** Used again in the last episode, with more of an outright "shut up" feel. Kageyama sets a new personal record for nihilism with a rant about how all of humanity's hopes for peace never had a chance, to which Ukiya responds, "''Is that all you have to say?!''" while throwing a monster of a roundhouse punch. Then the punch misses...
Line 111:
** When Edward confronts Shou Tucker over his use of his wife and daughter as subjects in his experiments, Tucker says Edward is just like him, because Edward used alchemy to try to bring his mother back. Edward proceeds to beat Tucker repeatedly while upset and screaming "I'M NOT LIKE YOU! I'M NOT! I'M NOT!"
** When they first fight Scar notes that both he and Edward use their arms for destruction. Edward answers "Don't you start! We're nothing alike!"
* ''[[D.Gray-man]]'': Cross has a rather hilarious and extremely awesome
** Chapter 193; paraphrased:
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Alma''': This torment will never end, and I want us to die together as friends.}}
Line 119:
* ''[[Twentieth Century Boys]]'' has a particularly epic one when {{spoiler|Kenji}} is confronted by a [[Card-Carrying Villain]] laughing about all the murders he's carried out. After he's done ranting, {{spoiler|Kenji}} spends two whole issues deconstructing the man's entire worldview, and leaves him weeping and suicidal.
* At the end of ''[[Inuyasha]]'', {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]] Naraku explains how his crumbling body is over Kaede's village, and if they cut him down, he will fall onto the village destroying it.}} Sesshoumaru's response? {{spoiler|He charges right up to Naraku, says "So what?" then proceeds to go straight through him with his Bakusaiga, causing the entire body to start falling towards the ground.}} That is pure freaking ownage.
** Also, {{spoiler|Kagome}} deals one to [[Creepy Child|Akago]] (the infamous demon baby) that's combined with {{spoiler|an [[Anguished Declaration of Love]] to Inuyasha}}. Suits well, since Akago's recent [[Hannibal Lecture
* Shinichi-Conan of ''[[Detective Conan]]'' has little patience for Motive Rants. He rejects each and every [[Motive Rant]]
** He's even once shut up a suspect into surrendering to the police with ''his own'' [[Break Them by Talking]] (in [[Gratuitous English]], even!)
** Kogoro Mouri/Richard Moore settled one himself, too, as a corollary to his [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]. When the murderer of the case, a professional judo fighter and policeman as well as [[Genius Bruiser|a huge 180 cms hulking pile of muscle]], rushes at the detective, an amateur who purposely avoided all tournaments because of stage fright, he casually flips him over his shoulder and to the ground. The murderer thinks he's gotten stronger over the years. Nope, in Kogoro's words, ''the murderer just got weaker''.
Line 130:
** While that's going on, Alucard has just [[Curb Stomp Battle|stomped]] Jan's brother Luke, and is [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|berating him over how weak and pathetic he is]], prompting Luke to angrily shout him down, and try to tell Alucard why ''he'' sucks. It doesn't go well.
{{quote|'''Luke''': Shut up! You're just the Hellsing family's toy, a dog not even fit to call himself a vampire, a-
'''Alucard''': '''
* It happens in ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'', too. Just before the big fight towards the end of the first movie, Mewtwo is giving his big [[Motive Rant]] about how he and his genetically engineered Pokémon are going to exterminate all other life on the planet. Up comes Ash Ketchum, with a horde of "normal" Pokémon and spitefully declares, "[[Determinator|You can't do this.]] ''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|I won't let you.]]''" He then tries to ''[[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|punch out Mewtwo]]''. {{spoiler|It doesn't go too well for Ash, and he actually ''dies''. But the [[Swiss Army Tears|tears and love]] from the Pokémon he led against Mewtwo revive him, and ''Mewtwo'' himself has a change of heart.}}
** Another example of this trope happens during episode 35 (never shown outside of Japan). While Team Rocket is in the middle of their motto, [[Character of the Day|Kaiser]] starts [[Trigger Happy|shooting at them repeatedly]] , leading to a [[Bullet Dancing|Bullet Dance]] performed by the trio.
Line 146:
** Ichigo gives one to Grimmjow after Orihime tells him tearfully not to get hurt anymore.
{{quote|Grimmjow attacks him, while Ichigo's back is turned, after a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|Reason You Suck Speech]] and {{spoiler|Ichigo catches the Grimmjow's blade while still looking at Orihime, turning to Grimmjow to effectively say "You heard Inoue. I'm not supposed to get hurt anymore!"}}}}
** Aizen tries quite a few [[Hannibal Lecture
*** Komomura indirectly gives a
{{quote|'''Komamura''': Don't let him get to you. Provocation is his speciality ... If you lose yourself, you'll lose your life. Rest easy. I know why the captains sent you straight down here from Hueco Mundo. You have not seen Aizen's shikai. We will fight to protect you. }}
*** Paraphrasing his brief conversation with Hitsugaya:
{{quote|'''Hitsugaya''': Anyone who raises their sword in violence doesn't deserve to be called a captain of the Gotei 13.
* Aizen does some [[Moral Event Horizon|MEH]]-crossing and Hitsugaya gets [[Unstoppable Rage|pissed]]*
'''Aizen''': Didn't you just say a captain shouldn't raise his sword in violence?<br />
'''Hitsugaya''': I'll gladly give up my position to do violence to you. }}
Line 159:
{{quote|"Aizen...You talk too much." }}
** After 300 chapters of being [[Smug Snake|Smug]] and [[Curb Stomp Battle|curbstomping]] everyone, Aizen recieves a '''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|really awesome one]]''' in chapter 417 {{spoiler|at the hands of Ichigo. What did Ichigo say? Nothing. He grabbed his face and knocked him outside of the city.}}
*** Ichigo continues to
** Kyoraku does this to Aizen a couple times [[Combat Pragmatist|by trying to slash him from behind while he's talking]].
** Renji delivers a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] to Ichigo during their first encounter. At one point during the speech, Renji closes his eyes as he mentions that Ichigo couldn't hope to put a scratch on a real Soul Reaper. Ichigo takes the opportunity to place a small scratch on Renji's chin.
Line 180:
** Happens several times in a row in the same scene in [[Dragonball Z Abridged]]. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Including while Jeice is trying to remember what to do when someone is punching you in the face.]]
** Future Trunks and his [[Curb Stomp Battle]] with Frieza and his father, King Cold. He had the latter, who, naturally, was even stronger than Frieza, ''begging him for mercy'' when he did this.
* [[Complete Monster|Joker]] became quite fond of [[Hannibal Lecture
* Haru does this in ''[[Rave Master]]'' when Lucia points out that, technically, they're both kings, and goes on to say they need no friends, only men with the mental capacity to kneel.
* In [[Muhyo and Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigation]], as Teeki, confident in having won after Julio puts the heroes under a curse that will kill them if they move, goes on about how people [[You Can't Fight Fate|are unable to go against their fate]] and how Enchu learned that for himself when his mother died. Roji declares that it is a lie, states that Enchu couldn't bear his grief, and then dispels the curse.
Line 244:
* The ''[[Hack Slash]]'' one-shot ''Girls Gone Dead'' has villain Laura Lochs giving a long [[Break Them by Talking]] about God, her origin, her motives and other such things. Cassie's reply is "Keep clucking, bitch" and a punch to the face. Subverted in the sequel ''Hack/Slash vs. Chucky'' where Laura was expecting Cassie to try something during her [[Break Them by Talking]] and kicks her in the face when she tries to attack.
** Subverted again in ''Something's Fishy''. As Mary Shelley Lovecraft is talking, Cassie starts sneaking up behind her, baseball bat in hand. Without even turning around or ceasing to talk, Mary ensnares Cassie in her tentacles.
* The one-off graphic novel ''[[Joker]]'' features a classic example of this, in which Batman not only brushes off the Joker's attempt to [[Break Them by Talking|break him by talking]] , but turns it into a devastating Lecture of his own which sends the Joker into a berserk
{{quote|'''Joker:''' Uhh, God you disgust me. You have no charm at all, just... obviousness. Dumb, dull. Disappointing. Obvious. Shame on you. Obvious... and everybody knows. You wear your shame like a badge, because you don't have the balls to actually pin one on. Yes, just look at you. Desperate to be feared, you want to be perceived as a monster, dressed in black. And yet... you leave that little window. A glimpse at the perfection underneath. Obvious -- the chiseled good looks, not the jaw, the mouth of a monster... ''why'' do you let it be seen? Tell me ''why''.
'''Batman:''' {{spoiler|To ''mock'' you.}} }}
Line 253:
* [[Supergirl]] was savagely beaten up and kidnapped by [[Domestic Abuser|Powerboy]]. He says a big speech about how much he loves her, that he knows best, and that the beating was her fault for making him angry. Supergirl [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|blasts him with heat vision, calls him out that he's an asshole and that no one should ever hit someone that they love, then drops his house on him]]. He tries to escape, while still ranting, but Supergirl catches up to him and [[Groin Attack|kicks him in the groin]].
* In Shotgun Opera, main character Sterling has a good response to a "you don't deserve her" speech: "F** K YOU. I'm not about to roll over and die!"
* [[Spider-Man]] gave a more literal
* In the last issue of ''[[The Punisher|The Punisher: Welcome Back, Frank]]'', Punisher kills the [[Big Bad]]'s [[The Dragon|Dragon]], [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|scaring off her remaining henchmen]], and starts pouring gasoline through her house. Even then, she tries to [[Break Them by Talking|demoralize him]] about hypocritical his [[Pay Evil Unto Evil|"war on crime"]] is, how he's no better than her, etc. As Punisher starts leaving, she tells him he's damned. His response:
{{quote|"Tell me something I don't know." * chucks a grenade inside* }}
Line 260:
'''Ramona:''' No, I'm pretty sure you're worse, dude.
'''Scott:''' You're definitely worse. }}
* A hero-to-reporter example: [[Iron Man|Tony Stark]] delivers this to John Pillinger, a man who is interviewing him in regard to the weapons Tony designed for the military ''over a decade ago'', when Tony was ''nineteen''. Over the course of the inverview, Pillinger is clearly determined to make Tony out to be as unsympathetic as possible; he interrupts Tony at every turn, gives Tony no chance to expand on his answers, and more or less dismisses ''incredibly'' significant medical breakthroughs as meaningless just because they aren't available in ''third-world countries''. He also brushes aside the fact that Tony hasn't designed weaponry for the military in over ten years, and has in fact put his efforts and resources into venues that could improve the world.<br />The real kicker comes when Tony, rather than attempt to make excuses for the damage the weapons he once designed have done, flat-out admits that he knows that no matter what he does, he will always have blood on his
{{quote|'''Tony:''' I wanted to meet you. You've been making your investigative films for what, twenty years now? I wanted to ask: Have you changed anything? You've been uncovering disturbing things all over the world for twenty years now. Have you changed anything? You've worked very hard. Most people have no idea of the kind of work you've done. Intellectuals, critics, and activists follow your films closely, but culturally you're almost invisible, Mr. Pillinger. ''[[Armor-Piercing Question|Have you changed anything]]''?}}
* In issue 74 of [[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)|Archie Sonic comics]], after the freedom fighters {{spoiler|find [[Complete Monster|Robotnik]] on the walkway of some outer space facility, (note that up until that point they thought he was dead)}} there are at least [[Verb This|two]] [[I Will Show You X|varieties]] (or [[Your Mileage May Vary|maybe]] three) of
{{quote|'''Sonic''': You're toast if you don't tell me what happened to my family and the other roboticized mobians, {{spoiler|Ro"butt"nik}}!
'''{{spoiler|Robotnik}}''': Come now, hedgehog. Can't you at least take a moment to {{spoiler|welcome me back from the dead}}? Didn't your parents teach you better manners?
Line 278:
** First there is Deathtrap, lecturing Wade about the virtue of silence, having strapped Wade to a table with a giant teddy bear above that will smother/crush him to death. If [[Badass Nickname|The Merc with the Mouth]] doesn't shutup, he will die. What does he do? He doesn't shutup.
{{quote|'''Deathtrap:''' "Fascinating! Teddy has approached ramming speed." }}
** Next there is Deadpool's encounter with Batroc. You can't expect to use Popinjay in a sentence and not have Deadpool mock you. Subverted in that Batroc proceeds to kick Wade's ass for this. He makes the mistake in pushing Deadpool's cripple/friend out of a window, followed by another
** In the same series, Deadpool delivers a
* In the finale of the first arc of [[Spawn]] spin-off ''Sam & Twitch'', Twitch has caught criminal responsible for all murders in that story. She gives him very good [[Hannibal Lecture]] about how she will go free thanks to her [[Screw the Rules, I Have Connections|connections]] and, at worst case, will have to keep low profile for few months. And how she will then come back and slowly, for years, destroy his life and kill everybody he loves. At first it looks it worked as Twitch puts his gun down, but he immediately points it at her again and starts telling her her laws. When she continues to lecturing him {{spoiler|Twitch shoots her}}.
* In ''[[Birds of Prey]]'', the villain Mortis has been [[Mind Rape|mind-raping]] [[Black Canary]] with visions of all the people she has regrets about, only to have this happen:
Line 286:
'''Mortis:''' "How do you ''know?'' How can you be ''certain''?"<br />
'''Black Canary:''' "Because they're my friends. [[The Power of Love|Because they love me]]. Now get the holy hell out of my brain. I won't warn you again." }}
* Superman's ''only line'' in ''[[Lex Luthor: Man of Steel]]''. After the more benevolent [[Perspective Flip
{{quote|'''Superman:''' You're wrong. I ''can'' see your soul.}}
* The Captain Britain & [[MI 13]] tie in with the Secret Invasion storyline of Marvel comics revealed that the global invasion force was just a cover for pretty much every Super-Skrull they had to invade Britain and steal all the Earth's magic straight from the source. After succeeding at killing Captain Britain and taking control over Earth's source of magic, the Super-Skrull Sorcerer Supreme stands over a woman who is, at the time, a civilian. A simple Muslim Doctor standing in the way. The Super-Skrull describes how Britain will be erased from existence, so that it had never been. When the Skrull empire takes us as slaves, ''then'' we would know ''true'' pride and glory. Cue the return with Excalibur.
Line 306:
{{spoiler|Glados looked down at Wheatley, "What did you say?"}}
{{spoiler|"I said, SHUT UP!" Wheatley shouted too blinded by rage to think clearly...not that he ever really thought clearly in the first place.}} }}
* ''[[My Little Avengers]]'': During the [[Final Battle]], each of the Avengers does this to their [[The Psycho Rangers|Dark Avenger]]
* At one point during ''[[Queen of All Oni]]'', Ikazuki gives a captive Tohru a [[Hannibal Lecture]] about how weak humans are, only for Tohru to point out that it was humans who defeated the Oni in the first place, and that even now, they need human bodies to do anything. Ikazuki doesn't take that well.
== [[Film
* ''[[The Exorcist III]]''. Kinderman interrupts The Gemini Killer's [[Break Them by Talking]] by wordlessly interrupting him with a punch to the face that breaks his nose. The Gemini is unperturbed ("Ooooh, a few boos from the peanut gallery.")
* [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]'s character in ''[[Commando (film)|Commando]]'' confronts an unusually confident bad guy sitting in a chair moments after his associates have kidnapped Arnie's daughter. "Moments" being the key word
** Most of Arnie's have this. For example:
*** ''Conan the Destroyer''.
Line 481:
* ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]'': Puddleglum does this to [[The Vamp]], narrowly preventing her from [[Brainwashed|brainwashing]] him and the rest of the heroes.
{{quote|"[[All Just a Dream|Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things]]—trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and [[Crystal Dragon Jesus|Aslan himself]]. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that's a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We're just babies making up a game, if you're right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real world hollow. That's why I'm going to stand by the play-world. I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia."}}
** Bonus points for Puddleglum, because he managed to achieve a
* Harry Dresden of ''[[The Dresden Files]]'' does this a lot, though mostly to [[Magnificent Bastard|the mobster Marcone]]. It should be noted, though, that Harry reacts this way even when Marcone is making a very reasonable offer and being very polite about it. Harry can be kind of a dick himself. Marcone's general response is to snark back and look amused. (Also, when the hero has called up the gangster on three occasions in the books (''Death Masks'', ''White Night'' and ''Changes'') and asked the gangster for
** Absolutely, Marcone is a bad guy. You failed to notice that in each case, Marcone got something HE wanted as well, even if it was only a bit of leverage on Harry. Marcone is criminal scum ''with style''
** One of the more dramatic ones is when Harry gives one of these to {{spoiler|Queen Mab}} at the end of ''[[Ghost Story]]''. When {{spoiler|she brings him back to life}}, Harry says he will honor his word, but must do it his way, or else he becomes a mindless thug. In a partial subversion, the recipient is both furious and elated at this statement.
* Shows up from time to time in the ''[[Discworld]]'' books. Granny Weatherwax delivers one to the Queen of Fairies in ''[[Discworld/Lords and Ladies|Lords and Ladies]]'', and even turns it around by ''[["The Reason You Suck" Speech|lecturing the fairies themselves]]''.
Line 603:
* On ''[[Prison Break]]'', after Mahone's [[Heel Face Turn]] his son is killed out of retribution. Mahone captures the man who did it, gets insanely brutal in torturing him until he calls Mahone's wife and apologizes, then leads him to a dock tied to a bunch of weights. The killer starts a speech to Mahone about how [[Not So Different|they aren't any different]], only for Mahone to push him into the water after just a few words.
* In the [[Stargate Verse]], the heroes are way too [[Genre Savvy]] to put up with the [[Large Ham|hammy villains]]. O'Neill is probably the exemplar here.
* A double

Now, let me show you the door. (''gesturing behind him without turning'') It's over there. }}
* ''[[Glee]]'': Will gets a moment after Sue bursts into the Glee club's room with a trophy in her hand, loudly talking about how she'll turn it into a trophy room. After she gives a little rant about how they have no chance at Regionals, Will walks up to her, grabs the trophy out of her hands, then throws it against the room's wall, smashing it to pieces.
* On one episode of ''[[Blue Bloods]]'', a serial rapist is holding Erin hostage at gunpoint and tells Frank to [[Put Down Your Gun and Step Away|Put Down His Gun and Step Away]]. Frank shoots him in the head in mid-sentence.
* Max ("452") cuts short an opponent's pre-fight monologue in the series finale of ''[[Dark Angel]]''.
Line 693:
*** Twice so far!
* [[Michael Cole]], the night after the Elmination Chamber where Jerry lost to Miz, Michael crosses the [[Moral Event Horizon]] by telling Jerry he let his recently deceased mother down by losing. Jerry finally snaps and grabs Cole by the shirt and pulling him in close. He proceeds to tell Cole to never mention his mother again and then proceeds to challenge Cole to put his money where his mouth is and face him at Wrestlemania. Cole quickly shows his true colors and flees the arena.
** On May
* On [[Smack Down]]'s Sept. 16, 2011 episode, [[Edge]] makes a guest appearance. [[Cody Rhodes]] comes out and does his usual mockery and speeches about ugliness and so forth, until [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|Edge declares he doesn't have to take this and walks to the back]], leaving Cody in the ring furiously ranting that he wasn't done.
* If you try to give [[Shawn Michaels]] a [[Break Them by Talking]], he'll just get fed up and kick you in the face.
Line 700:
== Real Life ==
* An interesting [[Real Life]] occurrance occurred on Indian reservations in [[The Thirties]]. The Nazis [[Exploited Trope|thought Indians had little loyalty to America]] and would help them. In addition, the Nazis saw Indians as [[Magical Native American|lost Aryans]]. Further, they saw [[Complete Monster|their plans for the Jews]] as little different than if Indians killed all the white people, which they figured Indians wanted to do. So a lot of Nazi propaganda was distributed on reservations by German anthropologists (also collecting intelligence in case [[Genre Savvy|Indian languages were used as codes]]; {{spoiler|[[It Was His Sled|they were]]}}). The result? Possibly the most epic

Line 718:
** There's also when Weil is gloating to Zero about how a reploid could never understand that joy he's experiencing of controlling all the Reploids in the world. Zero replies by saying that he doubts that most "sensible humans" could understand either.
** [[Replacement Scrappy|Axl]] interrupts the final boss speech of ''[[Mega Man X]] 8'' with a bullet to the chest. "Don't forget, he's the enemy!" [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap|Perhaps his sole redeeming moment in the series.]]
* ''[[Devil May Cry]] 2'' has one of the most epic
* The usual response of [[Shadow Hearts|Yuri Hyuga]] to a [[Break Them by Talking]] can be summed up as "Oh, don't ''give'' me that crap." Then he [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|beats the hell out of today's unholy abomination]].
** In ''Covenant'', Rasputin, facing down Yuri {{spoiler|in his Amon fusion}}, simply calls him "Demon!", to which Yuri{{spoiler|-as-Amon responds to by gathering energy and proceeding to punch Rasputin out}}.
Line 725:
** A rather amusing one in ''Knights of the Old Republic''. Normally you cannot take Bastila with you on Korriban, however there are intact scenes and dialogues that can be activated with a mod. One of these has you learning of the Sith temples. Bastila begins to comment when she is sharply cut off.
* Done in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]] II'' when Xemnas tries a [[Break Them by Talking]] on the heroes about how he had no other choice than to commit the actions that he did, only for Sora to say "Give it a rest! You're Nobodies. You don't even exist. You're not sad about anything!" Xemnas then laughs and confirms this.
** {{spoiler|Riku}} delivers another
*** There's actually a better example with Riku in ''Chain of Memories'', just before the final boss when Ansem tries to tell to him that he's irrational for accepting the Darkness in his heart but not Ansem... His response? (Foreshadowed by the fact that Riku has constantly shown an ability to actually smell people's auras).
{{quote|'''Riku:''' Wrong. The truth is... you just really stink.}}
Line 773:
* ''[[Persona 4]]'' has this happen after the revelation of the killer. In a [[Motive Rant|long-winded spiel]], the killer explains that the TV world is the best thing to ever happen to anyone. The heroes' response?
{{quote|'''Yosuke:''' Favored by the world, my ass. I'm just gonna say it flat out. You're just a worthless criminal!}}
** Also [[Deconstructed]]
* In the ''[[Mass Effect]]'' DLC mission "Bring Down The Sky" you're given the choice between saving the hostages and letting the terrorist escape or killing the terrorist and letting the hostages die. If you pick the latter, once you're done dispatching his mooks you come up to him. Picking the [[Anti-Hero|Renegade]] option leads to this exchange:

** Twilight gets an ''epic'' one the next episode. {{spoiler|She ''weaponizes'' her normal [[And Knowing Is Half the Battle]] speech into a combination of this and [[World of Cardboard Speech]].}} Probably the most awesome manner of stating an Aesop in history.
