* The Duels in ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' often contain some form of this; Utena's part, though, can be either participatory, or merely reactionary, depending on how invested she is at the moment... or how confused. (Utena, not the audience.) Theatrically, in a series where the difference between reality and reality-as-a-stage has blurred, the duels were depicted as cathartic. This is especially blatant in the final Nanami duel, as {{spoiler|both participants know Nanami hasn't a shot in hell of winning from the start and just needs to HIT someone.}}
** In the Utena [[Live Action Role Play]] ''Still Places'', the winner of a duel is partially determined by whose banter was more psychologically damaging to the opponent.

{{quote|"I'm gonna slay you just like I did Logalog!"
"You can't kill me the way you killed Logalog. I'm facin' you, Fenno. You stabbed Logalog in the back!" }}
* Snape, ever the teacher, corrects Harry's technique and lectures him on his mistakes while they duel near the end of ''[[
Line 213 ⟶ 214:
** Also somehow reversed by Vaarsuvius [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0010.html putting a bunch of goblins to sleep] via his/her pre-fight speech.
* ''[[Antihero for Hire]]''
** During [https://web.archive.org/web/20100108022106/http://www.antiheroforhire.com/d/20051130.html a fight] between Dragon and Crossroad, the latter proposes to the other to "skip the skill insults since they are obviously very good," to which Dragon agrees.
** Shadehawk's favorite weapons are his big mouth, [[Indy Ploy]] and [[BFG|Silver Arrow]], exactly in that order
* [[Dominic Deegan]]'s father is a master of this kind of thing—the family is famed for their horrible puns.
* ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'': Ninjas [http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/4p8 seem to be subject to this], too.
* In ''[[George the Dragon]]'' we get to see [https://web.archive.org/web/20081202011713/http://www.drunkduck.com/George_the_Dragon/index.php?p=487399 a very fishy version of this trope.] This banter goes on for several pages.

Line 233 ⟶ 234:
* In ''[[Seekers (webcomic)|Seekers]]'', Errol trash talks this way during the duels.
* ''[[One Piece: Grand Line 3 Point 5]]'' handles the first Luffy vs. Buggy fight like this, referencing [[Monkey Island]] in the process.
* ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' doesn't have many of those, but there's a good line:

* In one episode of ''[[Street Fighter (animation)|Street Fighter]]'', Fei Long insults the crap out of Ken who replies "And you... You're a loser!"
* The title character of ''[[Static Shock]]'' was pretty much a [[Homage]] to Spider-Man himself, and his dialogue shows it.
