Rummage Sale Reject: Difference between revisions

See also [[Rainbow Pimp Gear]], where video game characters achieve this effect due to their ideal gear being unfortunately mismatched.

 

 

== Anime and Manga ==

** ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]'' provides some [[Justified Trope|justification]] in that the strange clothing, excluding Takeru and Hikari, is automatically applied to the Chosen Children upon arriving in the Digital World; their outfits in the real world, again excluding Takeru and Hikari, are much more normal. Said Digital World clothing is said to be a manifestation of how they see themselves and, well, they're all eleven or less. Some individual cases and situations are also justified, such as [[Digimon Tamers|Ryo]].

* The cast of ''[[Naruto]]'' alternate between [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]] and [[Rummage Sale Reject|Rummage Sale Rejects]] depending on personal taste.

** Although every ninja wears a village headband, ''where'' they do so varies: it's usually on the forehead, but it can be on the neck, on the arm, on the head, the waist...

** Lee and Guy's green jumpsuits are acknowledged as goofy looking by almost everyone but them and Naruto.

** The Sixth Doctor's ridiculous clown suit (to match his ego-inflated personality). At a who-con in Tampa, Colin Baker (The Sixth Doctor) told the audience that he had chosen his garish coat specifically because ''he'' didn't have to look at it.

** The Seventh Doctor's question-mark sweater (with question mark-handled umbrella) which ''might'' just have gone too far.

** The Ninth Doctor averts this: his dark pants, dark-colored v-neck t-shirt, and a black leather coat coordinate nicely-- though the coat may not be the best thing to be wearing in WWII England, as Captain Jack notes.

** The Tenth Doctor wears a brown pinstripe or blue suit (it varies) with an open collar shirt, a tie and... Converse trainers. Not to mention the [[Badass Longcoat|duster]]. Believe it or not, the whole thing works.

 

== Tabletop Wargames ==

** This is universally true, but not for the reason you think. Orks naturally respect the biggest ork around, and since orks grow in size the more they fight, when a Flash Git has more bling, they also tend to be bigger in size to account for all the heads they had to bash in to steal the bling they currently have.

*** Unless of course the ork being impressed is also a Flash Git. Then they respect the ork for all his [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny|shiny fings]].

* [[Deadpan Snarker|June]] from ''[[Ka Blam]]'' wears: A long sweater that's orange with black spots (think [[The Flintstones|Fred Flintstone]]), a yellow t-shirt, green plaid baggy shorts, and purple shoes (or cleats in the earlier episodes). If anything, it just makes her even [[Badass Adorable|cuter]].

* Done intentionally with the Freedom Fighters in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', who are noted in the artbook to be wearing random piece of clothes they scavenged and pieces of armor they stole.
