Trash Talk: Difference between revisions

** While not one of the greats, Luffy has occasionally indulged in Trash Talk. One of the best examples being when he faces Arlong, he makes a list of all the things his crew can do that he can't (use swords, sail, lie, cook). When Arlong's response is to mockingly ask Luffy what he ''can'' do, Luffy replies "I can beat you." This encourages everyone watching the fight and infuriates Arlong.

** There are also cases of Luffy just being [[Cloudcuckoolander|Luffy]] being seen as trash talking. One shining example of this is in the first fight against [[Magnificent Bastard|Crocodile]], where, after Crocodile talks down on Luffy for standing by his comrades and claims to "have left hundreds like him in the dust", Luffy replies with "Well, then I guess that makes you pretty stupid". Croc was NOT amused.

* The all-time king of this trope has to be ''[[Bleach]]''. With the possible exception of Chad, Orihime and Shunsui, every single character—good or bad—in every single fight spends [[Inaction Sequence|most of the encounter]] bragging about how great they are and how utterly worthless their opponent is.

** Ulquiorra gets bonus points for actually calling his foes “trash.”

* The ''[[Chapelles Show|Player Hater's Ball]]'' is about a convention of haters who are hating on each other on a proffesional level and are competing for "Hater of the Year" award. It's seven minutes of nonstop trash talking.
