In short, being a big gloat when winning in a situation where it's considered just rude, and unsportsmanlike (even if it doesn't involve sports).

In the first of what would be his many dick moves, right after he battled Veilstone Gym Leader Maylene, [[Curb Stomp Battle|took out her team with ease]] and received his Cobble Badge, Paul [[Sarcasm Mode|gave a glowing critique on her skill as a Gym Leader]]:
{{quote|[[Kick the Dog|"You're the weakest.]] [[Break the Cutie|The weakest leader I ever fought]], [[Heroic BSOD|and this lightweight Badge is just like you."]]}}
* ''[[Iron Wok Jan]]'': At one point Jan follows a defeated opponent out to the street to taunt him some more as the fellow looked insufficiently crushed.
* In ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' Yukari does this after the first two of the three Sports Fest, the second one complete with the [[Giving Someone the Pointer Finger|Finger Point]] and "Loser Team Loser Team" (her class just walks
* In ''[[Fairy Tail]]'', Flare Corona mocks Lucy mercilessly after she wins their match in the magic tournament. Even worse than usual since the only reason Flare won was because one of her teammates

* ''[[Big Fat Liar]]'' has an [[Large Ham|over-the-top]] example with Marty Wolf when he {{spoiler|''almost'' wins}}:

Line 39:
* ''[[Cars]]'': Chick Hicks, after winning the Piston Cup by blatantly causing an accident for the car who'd been beating him for years. If the dirty race hadn't cost him the Dinoco sponsorship already, then the gloating certainly put him over the top.
== [[Literature]] ==▼
▲== Literature ==
* A ''[[Berenstain Bears]]'' book dealing with being a bad winner.
* ''[[Discworld]]'': Esme Weatherwax insists on not killing her opponents since it's no real victory if you can't rub it in their faces. It's a witch thing. As demonstrated by Greebo, it's also a cat thing.
▲== Live Action TV ==
* In ''[[Perfect Strangers]]'', Larry talked about how Mr. Gorply would rub the bowling trophies he won in Larry's face. Balky tells Larry to be a good sport when he finally wins, but then agrees to let Larry have one phone call about it.
* In ''[[Sabrina the Teenage Witch (TV series)|Sabrina the Teenage Witch]]'', her cousin chanted "I won! I won!" whenever she won some board game or card game.
* ''[[The King of Queens]]'': Arthur Spooner has been shown to be much like this, which had—strong effects on his daughter.
* ''Hot Shot'': In this Chinese drama series, one of the more famous and well known scenes from the series consists of a music video-like part where the main characters [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHU_8v2ehrI taunt the opposing basketball team after their win]. They're shown to dance their own choreographed victory taunting dance to Nese's "Superman" (which, in and of itself, is pretty much a song ''dedicated'' to Unsportsmanlike Gloating).
* ''[[Top Gear]]''
** Jeremy Clarkson is ''quite'' prone to this, the [[Large Ham]]-y fellow.
** His co-presenter Richard Hammond can be just as bad. A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH7M5elnU8A particularly egregious example] appears in the ''Top Gear'' vs. ''D Motor'' crossover challenge.
* Regina is prone to this on ''[[The Steve Harvey Show]]'' and [[Catch Phrase|always says]], "BAM! In your FACE!" whenever she wins something, no matter how big or small, and especially if it's against Steve.
* In the ''[[Colbert Report]]'', Stephen Colbert calls John Stewart to gloat [http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/videos/ecu59e/stephen-s-emmy-awards]
== Video Games ==▼
* ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' allows and even encourages players to use emotes such as /laugh, /pity and /hug on the bodies of their recently-deceased enemies. [[The Undead|The Forsaken]] can even ''eat'' the corpse. [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|Corpsecamping the opponent]] can be considered a more extreme version of this, making sure that the enemy stays down. You can also teabag dead enemies, as mentioned below.

** The stupidity of this behavior was [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/11/20/ this] ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' strip.
* ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' games have the titular protagonist get up to this. For example, in ''[[Sonic Colors]]'':
{{quote|'''Sonic''': ''(gloating over a defeated boss)'' Wow, sometimes I even impress myself! For a second there I wasn't sure I was going to pull it off... Oh, who am I kidding, we ''both'' knew how this would end.
'''Tails''': Uh, are you ''talking'' to the broken robot who can't hear you?
'''Sonic''': ...Maybe. That's between me and the robot. }}
* Most [[Fighting Game]] characters - including - ''[[Street Fighter]]'', ''[[Guilty Gear]]'', and ''[[World Heroes]]'' - do this to some degree the winner of the match using their victory quote to gloat over their fallen and often visibly injured opponent.

== [[Web Comics]] ==
* ''[[Original Life]]'': [http://www.jaynaylor.com/originallife/archives/2009/09/034.html Here], over volleyball.
* The [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/bronze-medal Bronze Medal comic and its meme derivatives] feature a guy being awarded a bronze medal, making an ass of himself of gloating and then being revealed to have gotten 3rd place.

* Azula in the [[Beach Episode]] of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''.
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'': Marge Simpson spoke on this subject after Bart won a soapbox car race.
** In that same episode, both Bart and Homer dabble in this after Bart won the big race, and even after Nelson was decidedly gracious in defeat.
* ''[[South Park]]'':
** Cartman embodies this trope. In fact, Kyle got him once by deciding not to be annoyed he lost, and Cartman was furious.
** That jerk ''professional'' skier who challenged Stan to a ski race in the episode "Asspen", despite being many years older than Stan and being super-experienced (whereas Stan was just learning). Stan knew he was going to lose, he acknowledged that he'd lose, and he participated only so
** And in addition to that, there's also Randy Marsh during the Pinewood Derby. He pretty much gloats and mocks the rival's father, who later suicides.
** From "Scott Tenorman Must Die":
{{quote|'''Cartman:''' "Yes! Yesss!! Oh, let me taste your tears, Scott! Mm, your tears are so yummy and sweet."}}
* The ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' episode "Skill Crane" had Squidward becoming obsessed with winning a prize from a crane machine
{{quote|I'm a winner, see my prize! You're a loser who sits and cries!}}

* ''[[King of the Hill]]''
** Hank's old high school rivals won the state championship decades ago due to Hank breaking his ankle, and every day on the anniversary of their win, find every member of the old team (Hank especially) and gloat. To the point of barging into their home while eating dinner. Decades later. In order to put an end to it, Hank [[Putting the Band Back Together|gets the team back together]] and challenges the other team to a rematch; they end up winning, and [[Hypocritical Humor|a year later they're rubbing it in the other team's faces]].
** Another episode has Bobby and Peggy betting on mundane things. What are they betting on? Bragging rights, specifically the kind that let you act like a total jerk. Later they move to reverse bragging rights, meaning you need to shower the winner with praise.
