Line 24:
** In the manga, the Major has a tendency to applaud his enemies when they seem to be doing well (although knowing him, it could be that he is genuinely impressed).
* In ''[[Negima Second Season|Negima!?]]'', Eva does this in response to Negi casting a spell to see spirits, but he doesn't realize she's being sarcastic.
* Nagi in episode 16 of ''[[MaiMy-HiME]]'', foreshadowing [[The Reveal]] immediately afterward.
* Pegasus does it to Kaiba in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' after Kaiba reaches his brother in the dungeon of Pegasus' castle.
* Mao from ''[[Code Geass]]'' is fond of this.
Line 65:
 
* In one of the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[Expanded Universe]] novels, the Doctor attempts to rescue his [[Sarcastic Devotee|companion]] from a pit in the ground by putting a ladder over the pit and... well, I don't know what he meant to do next; [[Indy Ploy|maybe he didn't either]]. The ladder falls in, as does the Doctor, and his companion claps sarcastically.
* In [[Graham McNeill]]'s [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] [[Ultramarines (novel)|Ultramarines]] novel ''Dead Sky, Black Sun'', when Leonid tells Uriel that he will join him and Pasanius in their death oath, Vaanes claps, slowly.
* In the [[Discworld]] book ''[[Discworld/Monstrous Regiment|Monstrous Regiment]]'', Sergeant Jackrum delivers at least one of these.
* In ''[[Sharpe]]'s Eagle'', French cavalry applaud the South Essex's parade-ground perfect maneuvers in a situation where everyone with any sense <ref>Col. Simmerson, commander of the South Essex, not among them</ref> knows the cavalry would not attack.
Line 135:
* ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'': Wow, that was an amazingly corny speech. Congratulations.
* General Lionwhyte in ''[[Brütal Legend|Brutal Legend]]'' does this when the heroes assemble before his tower. He even includes the "Bravo."
* Happens in ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'' when Hazama loses by time out. As if to mock you for not being able to knock him out before the timer runs out.
* The boss of ''[[Saints Row]]'' does this during a cutscene during the Brotherhood campaign. Why? {{spoiler|Because he just stuffed Brotherhood leader Maero's girlfriend Jessica into the trunk of her car and positioned it to be run over by a monster truck... that Maero was driving.}}
* ''[[Portal 2]]:'' GLaDOS claims to have a Slow Clap Processor built specifically for this purpose. It's also one of the few things that remains with her {{spoiler|[[It Makes Sense in Context|when her consciousness gets transferred into a potato]]}}.
Line 159:
* Plankton does it to Spongebob and Patrick when they return [[Fetch Quest|with King Neptune's crown]] in ''[[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie]]''.
* Commander Zhao does this to the fire sage who betrays his comrades to help Aang and the others in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''.
* Guitierrez does it when [[Freakazoid!]] removes the bracelet bomb in the season 1 finale.
* [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|"Bravo, ponies, bravo!]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZgFLBkPjU4 Harmony in Equestria is officially dead. Discord rules, Celestia drools."]
** The ''real'' kicker is that each clap of paw and claw is a sound that is anything ''but'' the sound of hands clapping. In order, it's a duck's quack, clack, a dog's bark, a frog's ribbit, a squishing noise, a camera click, and a thunder ''clap''. Justified in that he's the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, after all.
