* ''[[Goblins]]'': [[Badass Grandpa|Thaco]] is being pursued in the sewers by [[Complete Monster|Dellyn]] [[Cold-Blooded Torture|Goblinslayer]], and he thinks, just because he's a Monk he can't beat him. {{spoiler|[[Moment of Awesome|After regaining his courage after being shot by Dellyn, he catches an arrow in mid air, snaps it, breaks a pipe behind Dellyn and kicks him onto it, impaling him]] then he gives an epic [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] to Dellyn, shattering his mind by calling him a human he fought in his early adventuring career...a ''random encounter''.}}
* ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'': Vaarsuvius gives one of these to {{spoiler|the ancient black dragon after accepting the soul splice. Given the level of power demonstrated immediately after killing her, it's obvious that Vaarsuvius could have just done a [[One-Hit Kill]], but went for a slightly longer but equally decisive victory.}} Comics # 652 and # 653 pull a complete reversal: {{spoiler|Vaarsuvius is so pumped up after the first battle that [[Ambiguous Gender|the elf]] decides to take the fight directly to the [[Big Bad]] Xykon with the soul splice's "Ultimate Arcane Power". Several rounds later, Xykon manages to literally beat the power out of Vaarsuvius.}}
** The fight between Roy and Xykon is an straigther example.
* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in [http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/031209 this] ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' strip.
