You Fight Like a Cow: Difference between revisions

* A ''lot'' of characters in the ''[[Power Rangers]]'' franchise like to chat while they fight, but the undefeated masters of this has to be the [[Power Rangers Ninja Storm|Ninja Storm Rangers]] who sometimes layer jokes and quips so thick it's like Spider-Man times six.

* ''[[Kaamelott]]'''s weaponmaster does not hesitate to insult the king while sparring with him. Arthur is usually not amused, doesn't really see the point though the weaponmaster does try and get him to throw insults around. He finally gets his way... only for Arthur to say something which he finds [[Berserk Button|really, really offensive.]]

== Tabletop Games ==

** In the 4th edition, the Bard class is a master of this trope. And since [[Magical Incantation|their puns and insults are actually magical attacks]], it is possible for a Bard to insult someone to death. Not so [[Spoony Bard]] now, eh?

** This is very likely derived from some prestige classes in some third edition settings (like the musketeer class in D20 Past) who gain the ability to automatically confirm critical hits if their player can come up with a witty, relevant and previously unused remark (or a cheap pun, you know whatever) to go with the attack. Like stabbing a vampire and saying "Looks like the ''stakes'' were too high." (We're ignoring the fact that vampires cannot be critically hit.) See the ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'' reference below.

** Jack and Hook:

{{quote|'''Hook:''' Nice [[Eyepatch of Power]]. You'd make a good pirate.

'''Jack:''' [[Lame Comeback|... Shut up]]! }}

* ''[[Girl Genius]]'' main [[Love Triangle]] [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100430 presents] a variation:

{{quote|"You fight like '''''ducks!'''''"}}

* ''[[Spacetrawler]]'', every single time Growp and Emily fight.

'''Emily:''' Your flesh hand must be the poetic one... ''[rips Growp's cyborg hand out of its socket]'' the bionic one's better at long division. }}

* In ''[[Seekers (webcomic)|Seekers]]'', Errol trash talks this way during the duels.

{{quote|'''Danny:''' Come on, Guys, cut me some slack! ''(pause)'' Hey! Another axe pun!}}

** They do intentionally bad quips a lot in this show. From "Shades of Grey," after the ghost dog bursts into the school cafeteria:

'''Sam:''' Bring some new jokes! }}

* Spoofed in ''Sev Trek: Puss in Boots'' when Captain Pinchard is fighting his [[Evil Twin]].
