== Anime
* 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!" }}

** 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.
Line 276 ⟶ 277:
'''Shane:''' Fighting you ''is'' like standing still. }}
* 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.

Well, you fight like a blade of grass!
