This is simply what you think is the (not some of the, '''''the''''') best example of any trope (an objective trope, not subjective, since this already is subjective). The "Crowning Example" if you will.

** ComicBook/SilverSurfer in the [[VideoGame/SilverSurfer NES game]] ~ Tropers/DecafGrub47393
** Tails in ''VideoGame/SonicForces''. "[[NeverLiveItDown Chaos? Sonic, help me!]]" ~ Tropers/{{ccorb}}
** [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]] in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' ~ Fireside
** [[VideoGame/ArtOfFighting Ryo and Robert]] ever since joining KOF. They've steadily been reduced from [[HeroOfAnotherStory Southtown's heroes]] to mere comic relief. ~ @/MiinU

* BaseBreakingCharacter:
** [[Literature/HarryPotter Severus Snape]]: The real hero of the series or the biggest jerk? Even Creator/JKRowling seems to have mixed feeling about him ~ @/Silverblade2
** [[VideoGame/ProjectXZone Kogoro and Mii]]. I'm one of the only people who support them, too bad there are others out there who aren't willing to give them a second chance. ~ contrafanxxx
** [[Literature/WarriorCats Ashfur, Ashfur, Ashfur.]] ~ @/WarJay77
** [[VideoGame/LifeIsStrange Chloe Price]] is one of ''the'' most divisive characters ever made. Her fans/defenders [[DracoInLeatherPants turn a blind eye]] to her dickish attitude and all her wrongdoing. Whereas her detractors find her to be [[WithFriendsLikeThese selfish and irredeemable]]. Middle ground on the issue is virtually nonexistent. ~ @/MiinU
** [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/SlyCooperThievesInTime Penelope as an antagonist.]] Either her betrayal makes sense or is poorly written.]] ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
** [[WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries Cassandra]]. ~ Tropers/{{Tenebrika}}

** [[Franchise/StarTrek Beam me]] [[TropeNamer up Scotty]]!
** [[Film/LethalWeapon I'm getting too old for this shit!]] -- @/{{Cuchulainn}}
** The Complete Works of Creator/WilliamShakespeare as a whole. Almost any time a well-known line from Shakespeare gets repeated colloquially odds are its' being misquoted or used out of context. "Lead on Macduff" from Macbeth ("Lay on, Macduff" in the original) and "Alas Poor Yorick, I knew him well" are two of the most common examples. This one is the Most Triumphant Example if only because it's been going on for centuries.
*** "To be or not to be" while holding Yorick's skull ~ [=Lophotrochozoa=]
** "Elementary, my dear Watson." Creator/ArthurConanDoyle's [[Literature/SherlockHolmes detective]] never said it; only the film version. - @/{{Sharklady35}}, @/DoctorRayman
** "Play it again, Sam." The most famous ''Film/{{Casablanca}}'' line that isn't in the movie. Sorry, [[Creator/WoodyAllen Woody.]] - @/{{Sharklady35}}
** "Here's another fine mess you've gotten me into!" Almost ''never'' quoted correctly - [[Creator/LaurelAndHardy Oliver Hardy]] said "another ''nice'' mess."
** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E2RadioactiveMan The goggles! They do nothing!]]". Close, but Wolfcastle's acid-fearing statement was "My eyes! The goggles do nothing!" ~ @/{{King of the Mime Swing}}

* BestKnownForTheFanservice:
** ''Film/TheUnborn''. ~ Five-seveN-25
** ''[[VideoGame/DeadOrAlive Dead or Alive's]]'' gameplay is fairly technical and comes with a steep learning curve to match. Yet, all anyone talks about is the rampant T&A. ~ @/MiinU

** ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' ~ @/WolfMan16
** ''Literature/{{Another}}''. In a thriller anime bringing a very creepy and sober atmosphere, where AnyoneCanDie, with a CreepyDoll motif and very few light-hearted moments ([[MoodWhiplash at least those that don't end tragically]]), the last thing you'd expect was to see the protagonist, in the classroom, start dancing out of the blue with the resident EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette ReiAyanamiExpy ([[EmotionlessGirl she was giggling, even!]]), just to enjoy their status as [[{{Unperson}} unpersons]]. It was [[AllJustADream All Just A Daydream]], of course, that never came up again, and didn't fit at all with the tone of the series. ~ Electric Boogaloo
** The episode where God tries to kill Moses in the Exodus. ~ @/Silverblade2
** Literally any strip of ''WebComic/Irrelevator''. And it's supposed to be a plot-driven comic. - @/InactiveTroper19
** The Torture Dance from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind''. - @/MetalAiAi
** [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants SpongeBob and Patrick running through the Perfume Department on the Flying Dutchman's Ship]]. One of the most humorous examples of this trope. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGH8m7Q313s It has to be seen to be believed]]. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
** ''WesternAnimation/BackAtTheBarnyard'' ~ randomperson123
** The tunnel scene from ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory''. Seriously, what kind of drugs were the filmmakers on when doing that scene? ~ Saberwulf2018

* BizarroEpisode
** "[[Recap/BreakingBadS3E10Fly Fly]]". That is all.
** Episode 101 of the ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' anime, where Team 7 tries to find out what Kakashi looks like behind his mask. ~ @/DoctorRayman

* BreatherBoss
** ''VideoGame/ThunderForceVI'''s Vasteel Nocht. What's supposed to be an epic showdown with [[GiantMook giant]] versions of the TF series' ships is all but laughable with the right weapons. ~ Ray Ayanami

** ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' ~ @/CyberTiger88

** ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''. Never, EVER ask fans which generation they think is the best, EVER. ~ @/ZeniTheWonder
*** And that's BEFORE daring to say you liked [[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon -insert]] [[VideoGame/PokemonRanger spinoff]] [[VideoGame/PokemonColosseum here-]] more than any main series game. ~ @/RayneCyro
** There is no such silly concept as ''agreeing'' on things in the ''{{Anime/Neon Genesis Evangelion}}'' fandom. In fact, given how pervasive ''Evangelion'' became in the anime community, and in pulp culture as a whole, the arguments spread out from the show and even into fandoms of other genres and mediums. That's right; NGE's base is ''so'' fractured that it breaks the bases of ''other'' series. ~ @/KingOfTheMimeSwing
** ''Franchise/StarWars''. The backdraft over the ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'' trailer (made by Disney, not Creator/GeorgeLucas) shows there's no pleasing them. -- @/{{CommanderAce}}
** The entirety of the ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' fanbase. Those guys can never agree on anything.- {{Revaryk}}
** ''Franchise/TouhouProject, full stop. ~ This1person.
** ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'', especially when it comes to the topic of those who like or hate [[OriginalGeneration Kogoro and Mii]], and when it comes to the topic over which characters should be in the games or not. They're seriously starting to become the next ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' fandom. ~ contrafanxxx
** The current state of the ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' fandom involves near constant [[FlameWar flame wars]] and arguments, usually over the handling of the franchise by Creator/343Industries and how it compares to Creator/Bungie, though the arguments extend to even the most insignificant aspects of the franchise and any form of opinion, besides hating [[DemonicSpiders Jackal snipers and Drones]], can be controversial. The divisiveness of the franchise that the very mention of it can become an argument and the vast majority of threads about ''Halo'' are inactive outside of dedicated forums, mainly because mmany users are tired of all the arguing and have moved on and also for fear of another flame war starting. ~ @/{{Spartan125}}
** The one thing the ''Literature/WarriorCats'' fandom agrees on is that nobody in it can agree on anything. ~ @/WarJay77

** [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy I do not remember killing your family. And... I doubt I'll remember killing you.]] Sure he does end up remembering killing his family later ([[{{Jerkass}} Or so he says]]), but that line sums up the trope so well. ~@/DarthNANAME
