** In ''[[Super Robot Wars Compact]]''
{{quote|'''[[Zeta Gundam|Scirocco]]:''' By averting that [[Colony Drop]], you wasted a good chance of getting rid of all those fools [[Social Darwinist|whose souls are bound by gravity]].<br />
'''Kouji:''' Oh, don't give us that crap! We won't let you even touch the Earth we live in! }}
** ''In [[Super Robot Wars Alpha]]'' 2
{{quote|'''[[Chars Counterattack|Char Aznable]]''': But, if things continue this way, people's hatred will consume the very Earth itself. That's why I'm cutting through to the source of the problem.<br />
'''Kouji''': Don't feed me that crap!! I've been [[Hannibal Lecture|listening to this from the start]] and all you've done is giving a bunch of complicated justifications!! }}
* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'': What do you tell the god-like {{spoiler|Anti-Spiral King}} who has been revealed to {{spoiler|[[Well-Intentioned Extremist|only be doing it to prevent the universe from imploding?]] "You suck, and we aren't going to blow up the universe". The final conclusion to the debate after his defeat? "Seriously, dude, ''don't blow up the universe''." "Of course we won't; [[Arc Words|Who the hell do you think were are]], a bunch of idiots?"}} Then [[Made of Explodium|explosions happen]].
Line 101:
* Envy of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' keeps trying to lecture Mustang, but...
{{quote|'''Envy:''' Pathetic? Lemme ask you something. Don't you humans enjoy watching others suffer, watching fools dance around like puppets? That's why you start wars isn't it?
'''Mustang:''' I do [[The Ace|enjoy]] watching foolish creatures dance around like puppets on a string. Especially you homunculii.<br />
''(later)''<br />
'''Envy:''' Oh! So you [[Faking the Dead|torched]] [[It Makes Sense in Context|an innocent]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|woman]] then? Man, that's brutal! How'd you break it to her family? Were you in tears? Or were you too angry with yourself to even--<br />
'''Mustang:''' For the love of God, shut up, [[What an Idiot!|idiot]]. }}
** And Mustang keeps on shutting him up all through the battle with him while kicking his ass.
Line 152:
{{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. }}
*** Yamamoto gives us a very succinct one.
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 hands—and Pillinger reacts as if Tony ''has'' given some long, rambling explanation to excuse himself from responsibility. Tony ends his statement by saying, with obvious sincerity, that he's trying to be a part of making the world a better place regardless. Pillinger responds with a caustic "...I see."<br />However, at the end of the session, Pillinger asks Tony why he agreed to the interview. Tony responds ''beautifully''.

Tony ends his statement by saying, with obvious sincerity, that he's trying to be a part of making the world a better place regardless. Pillinger responds with a caustic "...I see."
However, at the end of the session, Pillinger asks Tony why he agreed to the interview. Tony responds ''beautifully''.
{{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 Shut UP, Hannibal in a row:
Line 267 ⟶ 269:
'''Sonic''': Why, you lousy...
''Sonic runs at {{spoiler|Robotnik}}, but {{spoiler|Robotnik}} smacks him aside.''
'''Bunnie''': [[I Will Show You X|Ah'll show you manners!]]<br />
''Bunnie then punches {{spoiler|Robotnik}} in the face, and Sonic and Tails stumble upon {{spoiler|Robotnik's sweatshop}}.''<br />
'''Tails''': Sonic, look!<br />
'''Sonic''': I see it, Tails! ALL of the missing robians being forced to work in this suped-up outer-space sweat-shop!<br />
'''{{spoiler|Robotnik}}''': Forced? Quite the contrary, Sonic. [[Kick the Dog|I've merely RESTORED their LACK of free will. They have absolutely no say in the matter.]] How can you say that I've done something wrong? Why, look at all the new jobs I've created!<br />
'''Sonic''': [[Verb This|Create this!]]<br />
''(Sonic then runs up at {{spoiler|Robotnik}} and knocks him off the walkway.)'' }}
** Sonic's [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] to Eggman in issue 200 is essentially a retort to a similar speech Eggman himself gave Sonic ''twenty-five issues earlier.''
Line 283 ⟶ 285:
* 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:
{{quote|'''Mortis:''' "Your friends have dumped you again, haven't they? ''Haven't they?''"
'''Black Canary:''' "Heh *sniff* No. No, lady, they haven't. [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain|You pulled the wrong trigger]]. Don't you know that?"<br />
'''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]]ped [[Villain Protagonist]] we've seen of Luthor throughout the series, it hammers home the fact that Lex's justifications for committing atrocities in the name of "exposing" Superman as a threat are really twisted, and that he really is the bad guy.
Line 290 ⟶ 292:
* 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.
{{quote|'''[[Captain Britain]]:''' I think you'll find, we already do. We just don't like to make a fuss.}}
* HerHero-to-hero example - in 200th issue of [[X Factor]] Guido gets into a fight with [[Fantastic Four|The Thing]], who tries to provoke him by mocking his superhero carriercareer. Guido just tells Ben that he played in a better football team. It worked a little totoo well, because enraged Ben had beatenbeat the tar out of him.
* In a ''[[Doonesbury]]'' strip, Uncle Duke, then U.S. ambassador to China, delivered a magnificent (although '''deceitful''') one to a tour guide who kept trying to guilt-trip him about how often foreigners had destroyed Chinese cultural sites.
{{quote|'''Duke''': Now, hold on a minute, Zhang! -- Who was it that built these palaces in the first place?!
'''Zhang''': The ''people'', sir! The emperors enslaved them and ...
'''Duke''': ''Exactly!'' And that ''enraged'' the emerging egalitarian sensibilities of the western nations! So they put the offending edifices to the torch!
'''Zhang''': Oh... I guess I owe you an apology, Mr. Duke...
'''Duke''': I guess you do!}}
 
 
Line 316 ⟶ 324:
{{quote|'''Conan:''' ENOUGH talk! ''(impales a baddie with a dagger)''}}
*** ''[[The 6th Day]]''.
{{quote|'''[[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Mr. Drucker]]:''' [[We Can Rule Together|We can cover this up]]. Kill Adam Gibson. No one needs to know that you're a [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|clone]]. [[Not So Different|That I'm a clone]]. In a few years, I'll have [[Blackmail Is Such an Ugly Word|influenced]] enough Senators to have the laws changed. And then we won't have to lose our brightest minds to death.<br />
'''Adam Gibson's clone:''' And who decides who lives and who dies? You?<br />
'''Mr. Drucker:''' Do you have a better idea?<br />
'''Adam Gibson's clone:''' How about God?<br />
'''Mr. Drucker:''' Oh, you're one of those. Well, if you believe God made man in his own image, then He gave us the tools to understand genetics, to invent cloning. [[A God Am I|I'm just picking up where God left off.]]<br />
'''Adam Gibson's clone:''' If you really believe that, you should clone yourself while you're still alive.<br />
'''Mr. Drucker:''' Why? So I can see things from your unique perspective?<br />
'''Adam Gibson's clone:''' No. So you can go [[Screw Yourself|fuck yourself]]. }}
* In the end of [[Conan the Barbarian]], villain Thulsa Doom (played by James Earl Jones) proceeds to tell Conan (played by the afoementioned Arnold) that he is the most important person in the barbarian's life, and without all the things he did to Conan (killing his family, selling him into slavery), he would not have turned out as awesome as he is. Conan's rebuttal? He uses what's left of his father's sword to ''[[Off with His Head|chop Doom's head off]]''.
Line 328 ⟶ 336:
** Also in the scene where when asked to "lay down your weapons" King Leonidas responds with "Come and get them!" which is allegedly what he laconically said in the historical battle.
** A more eloquent one is given during the Parley between Leonidas and Xerxes; Xerxes threatens to destroy Sparta entirely, and erase its history, saying "The world will never know you existed at all!". Leonidas calmly replies "The world will know that free men stood against a tyrant, that few stood against many, and before this battle was over, that even a God-King can bleed".
* The ending to ''[[The Dark Knight]]'' where {{spoiler|the people trapped on two ferries refuse to play along with Prisoner's Dilemma, deciding to ''not'' to blow the other ferry up, even with the threat of the Joker blowing them both up at midnight, their decision proving the Joker's [[Humans Are Bastards]] viewpoint wrong. Even cooler is that one of the ferries has prisonersconvicted criminals on it, and it's a stereotypical [[Scary Black Man]] who just says no.}}
{{quote|'''The Joker:''' {{spoiler|We really should stop this fighting. Otherwise, we'll miss the fireworks!}}
'''Batman:''' {{spoiler|There won't be any fireworks!}}
Line 369 ⟶ 377:
{{quote|'''DuPont''': Wait! Wait! Look at me. Look at me. I'm life. I live... I, I breathe... I feel. Now that you know it... can you really take it? Is it really worth the price?
'''John Preston''': [[Meaningful Echo|I pay it gladly.]] }}
** Kind of odd to bring up ''Equilibrium'' and not reference the scene prior to this one, where after a big "Here's how I just beat you" speech from the big bad:
{{quote|'''DuPont''': And now you've given me yourself. Calmly. CoolyCoolly. Entirely without incident.
'''John Preston''': No. Not without incident. (Cue lots of mooks getting shot) }}
* ''[[Star Trek]] VI'': He doesn't actually say it to the villain, but during the [[Big Bad]]'s [[Shakespeare]]-quoting speech, McCoy does seem unimpressed: "I'd give real money if he'd shut up."
Line 400 ⟶ 408:
** ''[[The Dog Shot First|HAN SHOT FIRST!]]''
*** Musn't forget Vader putting Admiral Motti in his place.
{{quote|'''Motti''': Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerorsorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up [[MacGuffin|the stolen datatapes]]. Or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Rebels' hidden fortre-<br />
''At that moment, Vader [[Finger-Poke of Doom|raises his hand]] and begins Force-choking Motti.''<br />
'''Vader''': I find your lack of faith disturbing. }}
*** In ''Return of the Jedi'', when Luke is hiding and refusing to fight Vader
Line 410 ⟶ 418:
** In the novelization of ''[[Revenge of the Sith]]'', Grievous tries to intimidate Obi Wan by stating "I've been trained in the Jedi arts by Count Dooku himself", to which Obi Wan answers "good, because I trained the Jedi who killed Count Dooku".
* In [[Kate Bush]]'s ''The Line, the Cross and the Curve'', toward the end:
{{quote|'''Miranda Richardson''': We have [[Not So Different|a lot in common]], you and I. It took me years to be rid of those shoes! You are so weak. So stupid. So...<br />
'''Kate Bush''': You're scared. You're scared, because you know you're losing your power over me. }}
* John Frankenheimer's ''[[Seven Days in May]]''; toward the end, when the conspiracy to overthrow the President is uncovered, General Scott (Burt Lancaster) accuses his former underling, Colonel "Jiggs" Casey (Kirk Douglas), who blew the whistle on him, of betrayal:
Line 421 ⟶ 429:
'''Sidney''': Do you know why you kill people {{spoiler|Roman}}? Do you?
{{spoiler|'''Roman'''}}: I don't want to hear it!
'''Sidney''': [[For the Evulz|Because you choose to]]! There is no one else to blame! <br />
{{spoiler|'''Roman'''}}: Damn it! Fucking damn it!<br />
'''Sidney''': Why don't you take some fucking responsibility? <br />
{{spoiler|'''Roman'''}}: Fuck you!<br />
'''Sidney''': Fuck ''you!'' }}
* [[The Incredibles]]: played somewhat straight when Mr. Incredible throws a wooden log at Syndrome when the latter is [[Who's Laughing Now?|revealing his philosophy, motivation, and ultimate plan]]. Subverted in that Syndrome basically agrees with the sentiment, [[Genre Savvy|laughing at himself]] for falling into the Cliché of [[Evil Gloating|monologuing]].
Line 470 ⟶ 478:
* During the [[Final Battle]] at the climax of ''[[The Matrix]]'', [[Big Bad|Smith]] knocks Neo to the floor and proceeds to give a [[Nietzsche Wannabe|nihilistic]] rant that concludes with "Why, Mr. Anderson?! ''Why?! Why do you persist?!''" Neo's response is a very simple [[Call Back]] to his last conversation with the Oracle that perfectly shoots Smith down.
{{quote|'''Neo''': Because I ''choose'' to.}}
* At the climax of ''[[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]]'', [[Big Bad|Loki]] is cornered by [[The Incredible Hulk|the Hulk]], whosewho has just finished tearing through half of Loki's army. Loki, ''furious'', seeths that he is a ''God'' and not someone to be bullied by some green simpleton who {{spoiler|...and it's about this point where Hulk proceeds to pick him up and smash him around the room like a rubber chicken, leaving Loki a crushed and bloody mess}}.
{{quote|'''Hulk''': [[Curb Stomp Battle|Puny god.]]}}
** That's actually the second time Loki's been told to shut up. The first time was drama rather than comedy, but still excellent.
Line 580 ⟶ 588:
{{quote|'''The Doctor:''' After all this time, after everything we saw, everything we lost, I have only one thing to say to you... ''BYE''!}}
** "Planet of Fire" features this wonderful exchange when Peri first encounters the Master:
{{quote|'''The Master''': [[Catch Phrase|I am the Master!]]<br />
'''Peri''': So what? I'm Perpugilliam Brown and I can shout just as loud as you can. }}
*** Especially good as he was trying to hypnotize her at the time. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|It is also the only time The Master ever fails to hypnotize a human being straight out]], and no reason for this is ever given. Apart from the fact that she can shout just as loud as he can.
Line 622 ⟶ 630:
** In a crossover with ''[[CSI New York]]'', a psychopath, after going on a killing spree in two states, thanks Mac for "looking after him" [[Freudian Excuse|when no one else would]]. Mac tells him to shove it, saying that many people have had worse lives and didn't turn out evil.
* ''[[Law and Order: Criminal Intent]]'': Det. Robert Goren's [[Arch Nemesis]] Nicole Wallace taunts Goren about his schizophrenic mother and his neglectful, philandering father on various occasions, only to have Goren turn the tables on her each time. In "Anti-Thesis" and "A Person of Interest", Goren switches the topic to Nicole's sexually abusive father. In "Great Barrier", the following exchange takes place when Goren accuses Nicole of {{spoiler|murdering her own daughter}}:
{{quote|'''Nicole:''' Who helped you concoct that theory, [[Your Mom|your mother]]?<br />
'''Goren:''' In her wildest delusions she never spawned anything like you, Nicole. }}
* ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'': Lee is confronting Phelan, the head of the fleet's Black Market. The black market gets things such as food and medical supplies to people who need them. But Phelan has also pressured people into giving up their children to be child prostitutes as payment. Often for the medicines. Phelan gives Lee a Hannibal Lecture ("It's hard to see the high ground when we're all standing in the mud...") and Lee points a gun at him. Phelan is completely unfazed, convinced that Lee won't shoot as they are not alike... and Lee shoots him in the chest. He then tells Phelan's cronies that the child prostitution and the withholding of medicines stops NOW. If it doesn't, he'll know. And he'll be back.
Line 651 ⟶ 659:
'''Picard''': But you will still be in this place. Forever, alone, immortal. (Armus begins growling) That's your real fear, never to die. Never again to be united with those who left you here. (Armus begins screaming) I'm not taking you anywhere. }}
* ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' had an [[Evil vs. Evil]] variant with two Borg cubes hailing Species 8472 in one of the shortest (and [[Your Mileage May Vary|possibly]] [[Crowning Moment of Funny|funniest]]) teaser openings ever.
{{quote|'''Borg''': "We are the Borg. Existence as you know it is over. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. [[Nothing Can Stop Us Now|Resistance is fu]]--"<br />
[[Curb Stomp Battle|[Species 8472 promptly obliterates]] [[Not So Invincible After All|both cubes.] ]] }}
* A recent storyline on ''[[Neighbours]]'' had Susan stalked by someone who turned out to be her University lecturer, who blamed her for failing him when he was a student teacher at Erinsborough High. Despite the hell he had put her in recent weeks, Susan refused to take any crap from him, telling him that he had no one to blame but himself for repeated failures to learn from his mistakes.
Line 733 ⟶ 741:
** However, it's ''horribly'' inverted in the game. You ''must'' listen to every target's speech in an [[Unskippable Cutscene]] - both ''before'' and ''after'' the assassination.
* From ''[[System Shock 2]]'', delivered by the Soldier, the main character, to [[Magnificent Bastard|SHODAN]], the villainous computer system:
{{quote|'''SHODAN:''' I don't understand... how could you have done this? You weren't meant to be so important... and now you think to destroy me? How dare you, insect? How ''dare'' you interrupt my ascendance? You are ''nothing''. A wretched bag of flesh... what are you, compared to my magnificence? But it is not to late... can you not see the value in our friendship? Imagine the powers I can give you, human. The cybernetic implants I gave you, were simply toys. If I desired, I could improve you... transform you into something more efficient. Join me, human, [[We Can Rule Together|and we can rule... '''together''']].<br />
'''Soldier:''' ... Nah. ''(shoots SHODAN)'' }}
** It is worth noting that this is the only time the protagonist speaks in the entire game, to amplify the awesome.
Line 750 ⟶ 758:
** In episodes which feature ''[[Zeta Gundam]]'', this is the heroes' usual answer to [[Manipulative Bastard|Paptimus Scirocco]] and his [[Utopia Justifies the Means]] mentality. An example from ''[[Super Robot Wars Compact]]'':
{{quote|'''Scirocco:''' By averting that [[Colony Drop]], you wasted a good chance of getting rid of all those fools whose souls are bound by gravity.
'''[[Mazinger Z|Kouji]]:''' Oh, don't give us that crap! We won't let you even touch the Earth we live in!<br />
'''Scirocco:''' The lives of those who cannot understand genius are of no importance to me, since genius surely is the driving power of the world.<br />
'''Daba:''' This Scirocco guy is just as bad as Posaydal... and I'm afraid the same mistakes will be committed in this universe as well.<br />
'''Kamille:''' Scirocco! We're not letting despicable people like you, who laugh at others from their comfy seats, get away scot-free!<br />
''(the heroes proceed to pummel the living heck out of Scirocco and the Titans)'' }}
** And in ''Alpha 3'', during the re-enactment of ''[[Gundam Seed]]'''s last battle, [[Omnicidal Maniac|Rau Le Crueset]] proceeds to give the Alpha Numbers the same [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] that destabilized Kira in the canon series, telling them that [[Humans Are Bastards]] and that all their efforts are doomed to failure. In response, the heroes basically tell him that he's full of crap.
Line 818 ⟶ 826:
** Also:
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Lizbeth''':}} * Rants and raves on how she'll gut him and suck the marrow from his bones*
'''Patrick''': * Lights her [[Undead|severed head]] on fire and tosses it off a cliff* <br />
{{spoiler|'''Lizbeth''':}} The family will be reuniteeeeeeedddddddddd! * splash* <br />
'''Patrick''': Yeh were sayin'? }}
* ''[[Rise of the Kasai|The Mark Of Kri]]'' ends on something of an anti-climax: as the [[Big Bad]] [[Necromancer]] makes his [[We Can Rule Together]] speech, Rau Utu politely listens for a moment, then reminds the speaker that he has [[An Axe to Grind]].[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|It's awesome.]]
Line 845 ⟶ 853:
* Fatman, one of the bosses in [[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]], is convinced that he is a [[Mad Artist]], who will be remembered through history as the greatest bomber and demoman in the world. Raiden interrupts his little speech, snapping "You're nothing but a common criminal, and that's the only way people will remember you!"
* ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' provides its heroes with a lot of opportunities for these. One of the best examples comes from the Warrior of Light:
{{quote|'''[[Final Fantasy VIII|Ultimecia]]:''' "Why don't you just give up? The crystals are nothing more than the fabrication of a fallen goddess. To so willingly risk your life over such things is beyond ridiculous."<br />
'''Warrior of Light:''' "Are you finished talking?" }}
** Squall also shuts Ultimecia up twice - the second time [[Talk to the Fist|with his gunblade]].
Line 881 ⟶ 889:
** And of course, leave us not forget Rikk's earlier and more spot-on example of this trope, during his climactic confrontation with Keith Feddyg before the [[Time Skip]].
** Rikk is good at these. During the Order arc at the end of book 6, he and Marc confronted Hus, one of the Order's mages, who was attempting to take over Egypt in the wake of spell that literally destroyed the concept of written communication. After Hus gave Rikk a [[Reason You Suck Speech]], Rikk and Marc effectively shut him up:
{{quote|'''Rikk''': First off, I got sucker-punched by Captain America. That's like giving Michael Phelps a headstart. Secondly, I've spent the last five years with [[OT3|two remarkable women.]] One of them's one of the toughest, cleverest fighters I've ever seen anywhere. [[Bait and Switch Comparison|The other is Rumiko Tanaka Oberf.]] We work hard, but we do make time for each other. And when we're not vegging or sharing a bed...we like to spar. Marc and I aren't here to impress you, Hus. We're here to bring you to justice.<br />
'''Marc''': Bully needs a beatdown! ([[Beat]]) Yours was way more wootworthy.<br />
'''Rikk''': No, you gave a good closing statement. }}
* Subverted in ''[[8-Bit Theater|Eight Bit Theater]]''. [[Dumb Muscle|Fighter]] ''thought'' he was giving one of these to a giant who was talking to his party members after squishing Black Mage. In actuality the giant was giving the Light Warriors a [[Glurge]]-filled speech about the [[Disproportionate Reward]] he was about to give. Red Mage and Thief were very upset at losing the opportunity to commandeer an army of loyal giants.
Line 904 ⟶ 912:
'''Skreel''': The only thing you were "king" of was losing miserably {{spoiler|to Shadow and The Ministry}}.
'''Raike''': *Flat look*
'''Skreel''': And if recent history is anything to go by, [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|utterly failing at courting bunny girls]].<br />
'''Raike''': I WILL BURY YOU! }}
* In [[Dubious Company]], Mary gives an [[In the Name of the Moon]] speech to the heroes as her boss, [[The Dragon|Izor]], is about to [[Human Sacrifice]] Sal. Walter shoots her. She is more angry that he [[This Is Unforgivable!|cut her off]] than that he '''[[Boom! Headshot!|shot at her]]'''. Walter is angry that he [[Convenient Misfire|missed]].
Line 937 ⟶ 945:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[South Park]]'': The episode "Cartman Joins NAMBLA" (which is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|just what it sounds like]]) has the head of NAMBLA protesting that he's being discriminated against, and Stan and Kyle's replies is a lot like this.
{{quote|'''Kyle:''' Dude, you '''[[This Is Sparta|have sex. With. Children.]]'''<br />
'''Stan:''' You know, we believe in equality for everybody, and tolerance, and all that gay stuff, but dude, fuck you. }}
* ''[[Totally Spies]]!'': Apparently abused by the characters against revenge-seeking antagonists, in the form of "You're only doing this for ''revenge''!"
Line 943 ⟶ 951:
** In "Code of Hero", Megatron was speechifying about how Dinobot had no hope of defeating him (which, given that Dinobot just burned up all his reserves and taking massive quantities of damage fighting through Megatron's minions while Megatron had not yet done a thing, not to mention he's got massive upgrades which makes him even more resistant to damage, makes a pretty good point). Megatron asked "What can you possibly do?" Dinobot's response? [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|"Improvise".]] As he takes his stick, creates a makeshift hammer, and [[Rock Beats Laser|smacks Megatron to the ground]].
* In the second season finale of ''[[X-Men (animation)|X-Men]]'', [[Big Bad|Mr. Sinister]] gets plenty of self-righteous speechifying about the future out of the way while he has his audience chained to a wall. Eventually, the tables turn, punctuated by an [[Eye Beams|optic blast]] from Cyclops. This doesn't stop him from weakly defying Scott's repeated request to leave his friends alone.
{{quote|'''Sinister:''' I can't... I won't... the world needs-- ''(gets [[Talk to the Fist|cut off by another blast]])''<br />
'''Cyclops:''' What was that? I don't think I heard you right! }}
** He gets it ''again'' about two minutes later. Trying to pull himself together, Sinister grumbles that "the future" (his future) can't be destroyed so easily. Jean Grey responds with a calm "Yes, it can" and a well-placed shot of telekinesis. This is appropriate, since he was trying to effectively [[Stalker with a Test Tube|breed a new race from the two of them.]]
* In the ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' episode "Divided We Fall", [[The Flash]] got a most awesome Shut Up Hannibal against the robot [[Evil Knockoff]] created by the [[Big Bad]].
{{quote|'''Alternate Flash:''' [[Idiot Hero|Slacker]]! [[The Fool|Child]]! [[Fun Personified|Clown]]! We have no place here among the world's greatest heroes!<br />
'''Flash:''' Says you! I've got a seat at the big conference table. I'm gonna paint my logo on it!<br />
''(Flash punches through Evil Flash's chest and vibrates his arm at [[Super Speed]]; [[Stuff Blowing Up|explosion ensues]])'' }}
** The Flash did it ''again'' later in the same episode when Braniac/Lex Luthor taunts him on the fact that he was all that was left between total destruction. Flash then begins to pound Luthor [[Beware the Nice Ones|over]], [[Let's Get Dangerous|and over]], [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs|AND OVER]], stripping Braniacs tech from Luthors body with each blow.
Line 970 ⟶ 978:
* [[The Powerpuff Girls]] have no time for any villain's shit.
** One that deserves special mention is their reply to Mojo Jojo's (who just seemingly beat them in his [[One-Winged Angel]] form) [[Break Them by Talking]] in the movie:
{{quote|'''Mojo Jojo''': Can't you see? None of them will ever understand you the way I can. For we are [[Not So Different|kindred spirits whose powers spring from the same source.]] [[Don't Make Me Destroy You|So girls, do not make me destroy you!]] For we are smarter! We are stronger! We are invincible! We have the power! We are superior to them! [[We Can Rule Together|And we shall rule! All we have to do is work together. Girls, join me.]]<br />
'''Powerpuff Girls''': [[Big No|NOOOOO!]]<br />
'''Blossum''': We'd never join you! And it's because we are stronger!<br />
'''Bubbles''': Because we are invincible!<br />
'''Buttercup''': Because we have the power!<br />
'''Powerpuff Girls''': Because we've got to protect them from you!<br />
'''Blossium''': It's you who is to be feared!<br />
'''Bubbles''': Because you are a monster!<br />
'''Buttercup''': Because you are evil!<br />
'''Powerpuff Girls''': And you are...it! (pushes him off a skyscraper) }}
* A particularly epic example comes from [[Toy Story|Toy Story 3]], where Woody {{spoiler|exposes Lotso's lies to Big Baby.}}
