*** There was an old Russian [[Heavy Mithril|FantasyRPG-oriented]] band "[http://community.livejournal.com/trollingstones/ Trolling Stones]". Mocking High Fantasy, "Dark" roleplayers, [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]s (''[http://mp3.music.lib.ru/mp3/t/trolling_sto/trolling_sto-das_gnomen_tango-2.mp3 yes]'') and whatever. Their style is Orc'n'Troll, naturally.
*** Funnily enough, in ''[[Pathfinder]]'', ''half-''orcs no longer get a penalty to Charisma, and in fact can get a ''bonus'' to the stat, so half-orcs can actually make pretty good bards.
** ''WOTC'' had fun with this one April: [https://web.archive.org/web/20170613090400/http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd
** Also, one of the prepackaged miniature sets they released has a Halfling Barbarian... which works brilliantly with a couple of the settings that feature Halfling Barbarians as the central example of the race, just to flip common expectations. Dark Sun has them as cannibals and Eberron has tribes of dinosaur-riding halfling barbarians.
** [[The Ogre|Ogre]] Mages in nearly any setting embody this trope. There's no point in being big and brutish when you can turn most adventurers into human popsicles.
