Line 58:
'''The Dude''': Yeah, well, you know that's just, like, your opinion, man. }}
* In ''[[Ip Man]] 2'' the [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy|Arrogant Boxer]] frequently mouths out at his Chinese opponents.
* [[Mr. T|Clubber Lang]] from ''[[Rocky III]]''.
* Yan Ti San/Thunderleg, the villain of the first ''Drunken Master'' film, is a master of this. When Fei Hung demands that Yan stop insulting his father's kung fu, Yan replies with "Judging by you, your old man's kung fu stinks. I wouldn't ask him to wipe the shit from my damned asshole!" And he just keeps on going from there, folks.
Line 120:
* Common in tri-Ace games, notable ''[[Valkyrie Profile]]'' (nearly every character can be a cocky bastard) and the ''[[Star Ocean]]'' series. Reasonably common in other RPGs with voice acting.
** [[Valkyrie Profile]] plays with this in a few ways. To start, Lenneth's quotes change depending on her Seal level; high, she's gung ho and thirsting for battle. Low, and she's questioning her mission. Some characters parody others' quotes, and in the sequel, going into battle with certain combinations of Einherjar will have them talking to each other instead of taunting enemies.
* In ''[[Star Wars]]: Episode 1 Racer'' there's actually a programmable button on the joystick/keyboard that has the sole function of screaming insults at your opponents. It really doesn't do anything in a race but it certainly makes the player feel better. Unfortunately, since most of the racers are aliens, the only character you can actually understand is Anakin (such gems as "Eat fumes, wormo!")... and half the time his are in Huttese anyway.
* Happens before, during, and after races in the first two ''[[Midnight Club]]'' games. Due to the character tripping over his words, one example backfires [[Crowning Moment of Funny|hilariously]]:
{{quote|'''Larry''':You reckon you got a chance against the Queen of Ki-I mean the King of Queens?}}
Line 127:
* [[Kirby]] enjoys doing this to his opponents in ''Kirby's Avalanche'', insulting them in full sentences while sometimes also throwing in an [[Incredibly Lame Pun]].
* ''[[Suikoden V]]'' has Logg, Lun, and Subala do this in the [[Fishing Minigame]]. Pretty amusing to look at while [[The Hero|the Prince]] is minding his own business.
* Everybody [[The Unintelligible|except the Pyro]] (who ''could'' be trash-talking but could also just as likely be discussing the weather or reciting T. S. Eliot) in ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'', especially with their domination quotes. Highlights include:
{{quote|'''Sniper:''' Too slow, [[The Medic|medicine woman!]]<br />
'''Spy:''' So your deadly skill is [[Fragile Speedster|jogging?]] Mine is ''murdering people!'' <br />
Line 142:
** Johnny Cage is also quite the trash talker. In ''[[Mortal Kombat 9]]'' he trash talks everybody, to the point where even his teammates turn on him.
{{quote|'''Johnny''': "I'm talking ''you'' down. I'm taking ''you'' down. I'm taking ''you'' out." ''(turns to Sonya)'' "And I'm taking ''you'' out...''to dinner''."}}
* All the opposing generals in ''[[Command
* ''Monkey Island'' sports Trash Talk as the normal form in sword fights. Basically who is better at trash talk wins.
* Enemy generals always say something just before Destiny of an Emperor's nonrandom battles, and about half of them are trash talk.
Line 152:
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* Xykon from ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'' is a ''master'' at this, coming up with the nastiest lectures to completely crush his opponent spirit and destroy any measure of confidence they had. It backfires on him once when a lecture of his ends up having a much-needed ''therapeutic'' effect on his opponent.
* [[8-Bit Theater
* Rowasu of ''[[Juathuur]]'' loves this and [[Bring It]].
== [[Web Original]] ==
* [[Sockbaby]].
{{quote|'''Ronnie Cordova:''' "Go forth and tell your alien brothers... THAT RONNIE CORDOVA SAYS THEY'RE GAY!" }}
* The [[Freelance Astronauts]] tend to do this. Most notably was Tetris Smackdown, which largely consisted of [[No Indoor Voice|pipes!]] engaging in some epic level trash talk.
Line 202:
* In Vietnam ARVN and VC would occasionally [[Trash Talk]] over the radio.
* One time during the [[American Civil War]] a group of pickets were shooting at each other while trash talking each other. One Rebel and one Yankee got so angry with each other that everyone agreed that guns were to impersonal, and so they called a truce to settle the manner with [[Good Old Fisticuffs]]. Once that was done, they had a rest. Then they went back to shooting at each other.
* Subversion, during the [[Napoleonic Wars]] British preferred to remain silent while the French were approaching to make sure that there was as much tension begging to be released when the order to fire and charge came.
* In one time during the Battle of Waterloo, Cavalie Mercer, commanding a battery of British Horse Artillery cheered his men's morale by exchanging insults with a French skirmisher.
* If you think of it, some of [[Winston Churchill]] s most famous speeches were to some degree a high-class form of trash-talk.
