* Pain from ''[[Naruto]]'' gets in on this and uses it on Naruto. {{spoiler|It works.}}
** Of course, {{spoiler|it didn't convince Naruto to give up, but instead he decides to try and prevent the [[Freudian Excuse|conditions]] which causes [[Utopia Justifies the Means|someone]] [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|like Pain]] to exist}}. Before that Pain gave one to Tsunade about the big villages not caring if they hurt the smaller ones. She's not convinced and claims that even the big villages suffer. Not to be outdone, {{spoiler|Pain's response was to ''crush'' the village}}.
** Let's not forget the one [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy|Neji]] gives to [[Shrinking Violet|Hinata]] during the chuunin exams, causing her to pretty much have a breakdown on the spot. It took Naruto to snap her out of it. Not that it helped her much, because in the ensuing fight he delivers [[No
*** Verbally, Hinata still gets the last word in when she tells Neji that he's the one hopelessly fighting fate and not her.
** Naruto received one from Kabuto back in Part I too. Naruto's response was to [[Shut UP, Hannibal|drive a Rasengan into his stomach]].

* Dr. Hannibal Lecter from ''[[The Silence of the Lambs]]'', especially as played by [[Anthony Hopkins]] in the [[Film of the Book]], is clearly the [[Trope Codifier]] for this whole trope; as [[Hannibal Lecture]], the [[Sub
* ''[[Collateral]]'' is basically one long speech like this by assassin Vincent to his hostage Max {{spoiler|which backfires epically towards the end}}.
* ''[[The Dark Knight]]'': [[The Joker]] here excels at these speeches; some are [[Hannibal Lecture|Hannibal Lectures]] (see there), others aren't.

* This is a ''power'' of Thrawn, demon of half-truths, from ''Shades'' – whenever somebody gets caught in his tentacles, he can see victim's dearest ideals and describe them through dark, twisted point of view. The worst part? What he says is ''always'' at least [[From a Certain Point of View|partly true]].
* ''[[Cuanta Vida]]'', [http://tf2.skyscrapersoup.com/2011/03/24/136-sympathy-for-the-devil/ page 136]. {{spoiler|Rojo attempted to backstab Bleu, and for his efforts he received a broken nose and a vicious beating from Jeremy's crutch. While lying defenseless on the ground, Rojo attempts to appeal to Bleu's pacifistic nature:}} "Put down the gun...How many people have you {{spoiler|killed}} today? Too many, right? Why add another?" Too bad [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?|it]] [[Boom! Headshot!|didn't]] [[Gory Discretion Shot|work]].

{{quote| '''Megatron''': "And there came a hero who said, 'Hurt not the earth, nor the trees, nor the seas, nor the very fabric of time.' But the hero would not prevail!'"<br />
'''Optimus''': "Finish the quote, Megatron! 'NOR WOULD HE SURRENDER!'" }}
* In the ''[[The Legend of Korra (Animation)|The Legend of Korra]]'' episode "The Voice in the Night" Korra challenges [[Big Bad]] Amon to a one-on-one duel, only to be ambushed by his army of [[Power Nullifier|Chi]]-[[The Paralyzer|blockers]]. With her restrained, Amon reaches out threateningly, only to take her by the chin, and announce that while he could [[De
* In the ''[[Batman Beyond]]'' movie ''Return of the Joker,'' Terry McGinnis (the new Batman) achieves his [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] by successfully pulling a Breaking Speech ''on the Joker.'' Check it out on the quotes page, it is epic. Earlier in the film, the Joker gives a brief one to the original Batman, calling him "a little boy in a playsuit, crying for mommy and daddy".
* Mojo Jojo has a very nice one in his final battle with [[The Powerpuff Girls]] in [[The Movie]], though it eventually becomes an equally as epic [[Shut UP, Hannibal]][[Break Them By Talking/Quotes]].
