** In ''VideoGame/ReturnToMonkeyIsland'', several swordfights break out. The fights with the swordmaster Carla are just for fun, but against [=LeChuck=], he plays it straight by insulting you, and you have to come up with the appropriate retort. But because Guybrush is far more experienced, ''all'' of his possible retorts are appropriate, letting him easily beat [=LeChuck=]. [[spoiler: [=LeChuck=] then gets angry and resorts to just ''punching'' Guybrush, stating that he's kept up with changes and trends while Guybrush has not.]]

* Terry [=McGinnis=] in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' develops a tendency to taunt his opponents, which differs from the normally [[TheStoic stoic]] Characters/{{Batman|TheCharacter}}. [[MissionControl Bruce]] doesn't seem to mind. In ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker Return of the Joker]]'', he [[Awesome/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker uses this to great effect]] against the Clown Prince of Crime himself, realizing that while Bruce refusing to laugh might be effective, the one thing a comedian ''really'' can't stand is being ''heckled''.

* ''VideoGame/ThemsFightinHerds'': Texas will say this word-for-word in one of his taunts. Keep in mind one of the other fighters, his daughter, ''is'' a cow.
