Triumphant Example / B

This is simply what you think is the (not some of the, the) best example of any objective trope (so no YMMV or Trivia as they are not tropes proper and the former is already subjective) The "Crowning Example" if you will.

There could be several reasons you think an example is the best.

• You think it's the best in terms of illustrating the trope.
• You think it's the most well done.
• It's your favorite play in that trope.
• You just really like the source material.

Oh, several things before you list examples:

• Each troper gets one example per trope, no more.
• Don't go "no, this is," or phrases like that. This is about our own personal favorites.
• Sign your entries.

  • Omar Little is a Karmic Thief who only steals from drug dealers and criminals, has many memorable boasts throughout the series. Take your pick from any of the following ones:

    • He declares war on Marlo Stanfield, the most ruthless, sociopathic, and murderous criminal kingpin Baltimore has ever known by robbing one of Marlo's shipments, burning the drugs and the money, and telling one of Marlo's wounded men to deliver a message to Marlo: "Now you make sure you tell ol' Marlo I burned the money. Cause this ain't about that paper, it's about me hurting his people, messin' with his world! You tell that boy he ain't man enough to come down to the streets with Omar!" Scene
    • In a more low key example, Omar is testifying against another criminal, and is asked the standards questions about his name, occupation, etc. When Omar says that he's been robbing drug dealers for about eight or nine years, the DA asks how anyone can rob drug dealers for eight or nine years and get away with it.

    Anderson: In that case, Iscariot. We ask o' thee... whit dost thou hold in thy left hand?!
    Iscariot: Thirty silver pieces!! And a rope!!
    Anderson: In that case!! <cuts a vampire in half lengthwise> In that case, Iscariot. Whit art thou?! As apostles yet not as apostles. As adherents yet not as adherents. As believers yet not as believers. As traitors yet not as traitors!! We art disciples of death. The death disciple group. Only bowing and praying forgiveness of the Lord. Only bowing and defeating the enemies of the Lord. Wielding our dagger in the night and poisoning the evening meal. We art assassins. The assassin Judas!! When the time comes we shalt cast our thirty silver pieces at the altar and hang thy head from our rope. Thereby we shalt fall to hell in cabal. Lined up in square formation, we seek to do battle with the seven million, four-hundred-five-thousand, nine hundred twenty-six demons of hell. Apocalypse now!!

Just a space marine and starting off with only a pistol and some bullets for it - He then goes on to clean both bases on the moons of Mars, enter Hell TWICE, and single handedly repel a demon invasion, effectively DESTROYING HELL the second time he went there.

He attacks villages, burns them down, tortures the innocents that live there ^note DIE PIG!!! and kills countless people left, right and center... all the while not using magic, runes or anything like that. He uses nothing but his stamina, his strength, his heavy armor and his powerful sword that he can light on fire using a mundane substance like oil ^note At least in the game. And yet, despite all of that, it takes three separate parties of elite warriors wailing on him, several arrows shooting him in the back, AND a one-on-one duel with The Hero of the game to finally bring this guy down!

  • Freeza. Specifically, his incarnation from Dragon Ball Z Abridged, who kills his soldiers for reasons such as "needing an example", getting out of awkward conversations, and bringing him bad news. Furthermore, he doesn't pay his soldiers because he considers allowing them to live to be payment enough. And of course, so long as he has more soldiers on hand, he doesn't really care if they die. Even then, that might not stop him from killing his last minion if, say, his opponent kills all but one of them and just so happens to miss the last guy. ~ mysterykcad

  • The 'Trubblemakers' from the 2019 reboot of Worzel Gummidge. A group of scarecrows without a single grain of malice between them trying desperately to be a badass gang of ne'er-do-well bikers in a work suitable for very young children. They're hilarious. ~ Azorius24

  • The League of Gentlemen Christmas Special ~ Man Without A Body
  • "Weird Al" Yankovic's The Night Santa Went Crazy is a perfect, and even literal, example. ~ JoeMoron2000
  • Willie Stokes. The trope is named after his movie, after all. ~Redhed311
  • Robot Santa ~ Bobg
• Bag of Spilling
  • The whole of the Ratchet & Clank series, with rare exception there is absolutely no given explanation for how you lose all or almost all of your usually egregiously large arsenal between each game. Most of them make an attempt at explanation, but none of it really holds up when the exact same circumstance can take place later during gameplay and the weapons are kept. Can also be (in most cases) a shining example of Cutscene Incompetence, especially in Deadlocked, where you are captured by a bare handful of the same robots that you will be destroying by the dozens later in the game, often with a single round of ammo from the Harbinger. ~Whiteface, occasional troper who doesn't feel like registering
  • All Mega Man series. The trope's nicknamed "Mega Man Amnesia" by fans for a reason. ~ DAN004

  Credelle: "That's right. That's what I'm telling you. But don't let the others know that I contacted you."
  

Sheila: Who's on the other end?
Credelle: "If Atelia or one of her followers finds out about this, who knows what they might do to us? Well, I'm looking forward to receiving this — a king-sized Mont Blanc cake."
Sheila: This one's not it.

• Bait-and-Switch Credits
  • The Shadow Star opening credits. Upbeat, catchy song, adorable mons, artwork that looks like it was made by second graders for second graders, opening for a show with mass-murder, Abusive Parents, horrible Break the Cutie, rape, (Twice!) implied incest, Cruel And Unusual Deaths, Eldritch Abominations, etc.

• Bestiality Is Depraved: Shiton Anehata regularly rapes animals before killing them out of guilt. He is so ridiculous that his very existence has turned into a Memetic Mutation at least in Japan. - IúkaSylvie
• Beta Couple:
  • Chandler and Monica. Four years as close friends went through a Relationship Upgrade via Friends with Benefits to Secret Relationship to Happily Married. The most stable, successful relationship in ten years of the show, and proof that long-term romance or marriage storylines don't need on/off or separation drama just to keep things interesting for the audience. ~ Wyldchyld

  • Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray. It doesn't matter if you're the sword that smites evil. You have nothing on the guy with a 150-meter-long orbital katana for his Gundam. ~ Caphi

  • Alternity Megatron's Tesseractal Swords are blades of infinite length. "Physical space is not an obstruction." ~ Jarl
  • Fate Testarossa's Jet Zanbar Bardiche is the personal equivalent of the 00 Raiser's beam saber ~ prescience
  • The one that takes the cake: Gin's zanpakutou. It's a wakizashi, so technically speaking it's smaller than a katana — but then again, it stretches. A lot. Especially when in Bankai mode. 13 kilometers! ~ Carla

  • Oh yeah? Try to top these. ~ InuOtaku911
  • Done◊ and done◊. Trailblazer's 00 Qan(T) wields a beam sword that is just as long as the 00 Raiser's (KILOMETERS in length) and the same width as Celestial Being's GN Particle Cannon. Keep in mind that in the first image the 00 is simply beginning to extend its beam sword. That is NOT a beam cannon (the confusion is understandable). Also, do you see that planet-like structure in the background? It's roughly the size of the moon... ~ Jaac 811
  • Fiamma of the Right. Think Gin's bankai, multiply it by three, and set it on fire.
  • Tessaiga ~ King Cr Inu Yasha
  • Riva Irongrip's Sword. Six feet long and made of two fallen stars it's so heavy that it needs the Orb of Aldur as a pommel stone. Oh and it burns blue fire. - Vaeshi 3
  • The Dragon Slayer. - Two Gun Angel
  • Final Fantasy XII; on the wall behind the counter at the main weapon shop, is a Behemoth type monster's sword. This thing's at least as long as Sephiroth's, and about three times as wide and thick as Cloud's. — Cuchulainn

• The Big Bad Shuffle:
  • One of the complaints brought up against Naruto is that, as the series goes on, it looks more and more like Masashi Kishimoto legitimately can't decide on who the main villain should be. At the beginning, Orochimaru was the Big Bad, and was well liked in that role. Then the Akatsuki clan became involved, and Pain/Nagato, Danzo, Kabuto, and Itachi all tried to grab the position, then Tobi/Obito turned out to be the true leader, then he resurrects his boss the real Madara, who gets literally backstabbed by Black Zetsu of all people, who is the will of both him and Princess Kaguya, who is then revived through Madara and becomes the Final Boss, except the real final boss is Sasuke, then Kagyua's descendant Toneri takes up the torch, then Momoshiki is revealed to be the even Greater-Scope Villain that Kaguya was fighting against, and even he and Toneri are hinted to work for some higher power or clan- look, Kishimoto, will you make up your mind already?! Even Kingdom Hearts, which is also infamous for its stupidly complicated plot, at least bothered to only have one single mastermind (Xehanort) through the series (or the Dark Seeker Saga, anyway). ~Master N

  • Gumbald, who despite being build up to being the final season's main antagonist by recruiting many of the villains the heroes faced throughout the series, accomplishes none of his goals at all and gets taken out very quickly when he's about to start a war, paving the way for the true Final Boss, GOLB. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller

  • Nagisa and Kayano in Assassination Classroom. Hard to top someone giving a fifteen-hit kiss to calm down his love interest so that the tentacles driving her insane can be removed. For bonus points, he was effectively risking his life to save someone he loved even though she said her feelings for him were all just an act.

  • H. P. Lovecraft's creatures, most of whom were established as extra-terrestrial or extra-dimensional. ~ ZiggyZag, orphu, Man Without A Body, Popette
  • Sector General, with beings with two hearts, intelligent viruses, beings that eat radiation, a species which must carry around paint and paint itself regularly in order not to starve to death, creatures that live for thousands of years and never stop growing during that time, six-legged elephants who always stand up, and more. ~ Freiberg
  • The Doctor's two hearts. Or, you know, any of the Time Lords' two hearts. And the ability to metabolize toxins with "something salty and a big shock". And regenerating when near death. ~ Voodoo Child
  • The Uryuom. Shapeshifting, using limited telepathy where other species exchange pheromones and for linguistic Brain Uploading, reproduction via what they call "eggs"... The least weird description of which would be "symbiosis with a conflict-resolving DNA cross compilier" (it can make a non-sterile hybrid from almost anything, and can process twelve DNA sources). And makes sense evolution-wise if you allow the effects themselves. ~ T Beholder, Pixel Knight
  • Pretty much all of the aliens in the Animorphs series. You've got blue centauars with no mouths, a pair of eye mounted on tentacles, a razor sharp blade on their tail, four hearts (one in each of their hoofs), communicate telepathically, and absorb food nutrients through their hoofs. Then you've got the yeerks, which are giant green/gray slugs that flatten themselves out and take over your mind through the ear canal. They are blind, almost deaf, and basically helpless in their natural form, and every three days have to bask in the light of their homeworld, or they'll die. That's not even getting into Visser Three's crazy ass alien morphs, amongst which are multi headed dragon like monsters, aliens with wheels for feet, and one alien that shoots missiles out of its mouth. ~ SG_Man_Forever
  • John A. Zoidberg. He has many multiple organs, so much he can do a live commentary on his own Alien Autopsy ("Removing the heart" "Take, I've got four of them!"). Also apparently his species' different development stages forms resemble every marine creature ever. And in adult form, he has tendrils for a nose, crab claws, can vomit ink like a squid, produces pearls, and so the list goes on. ~ Electric Boogaloo, Doctor Rayman

  • Hideo Kojima does not believe in the Fourth Wall.
  • The Northern Exposure episode "War and Peace". Brilliantly surprising because outside of this one episode, the series doesn't break the fourth wall, but just this one time they go all out, with the characters calling for the writers to write a better ending, etc. (There's an even longer version of the scene as an extra on the DVD release, which is even better.) ~ Devil's Advocate

Just like The Fonz, he was a recurring side character that got popular enough that he'd been all but promoted to main character status by the end of the show's run. Most people don't even realize Family Matters is a Spin-Off of a different show that was supposed to focus on Harriette Winslow. You probably don't even remember Harriette because she's not Steve Frickin' Urkel! ~ WoodKnapp94

  • At the beginning of Superman (Atari 2600), you are Clark Kent and you have to walk one screen to the right and approach a bridge, which is blown up, forcing you to walk back to the screen whence you started, enter the phone booth, and change into the Superman garb so you can fly over it. The game does not allow you to bypass this extra step. And it's right at the beginning of the game! ~ ZiggyZag
  • Pokémon Black and White has several literal examples, and they stopped even trying to come up with semi-plausible justifications. One guard won't let you pass because there's "something ahead".

A depressingly large percentage of Ikebukuro's population can't seem to get it through their heads that picking fights with the tall blonde guy in the sunglasses and the bartender outfit is a bad idea. No matter how many vending machines he throws at them. ~Bowbowis
