History BadassBoast / WesternAnimation

-->'''Fish:''' How tough am I? How tough AM I!? I had a bowel of nails for breakfast this morning!

--> '''Amanda Waller:''' (Sadly, she really cannot sustain her words). ''Belle Rev's walls are thick enough to hold Superman. We know - we've checked. No one's ever escaped Belle Rev. No one ever will.''
-->'''The Riddler:''' (It does not sound so awesome... [[TwistEnding until the end of the episode]]). ''No one can say the Riddler goes where he's not wanted.''

** {{Darkseid}}: "Super or otherwise, you're merely a man, whereas I am [[AGodAmI a god]]." Also: "I am many things Kal-El. You couldn't begin to imagine half of them, but for now I shall take the role of executioner." And finally, "I want you to understand Kal-El, that from this point on everything that happens is on your head. The skies will rain fire, the streets will run red with the blood of billions. Only then, when your last pitiful hope is extinguished will I end your life. Let's go."

*** Or even this, "I hope you appreciate, Kal-El, that everything that happens from this point is on your hand. The skies will rain fire, the oceans will boil, the streets will run red with the blood of billions. Only then, after your last pitiful hope is extinguished, will I end your life. [[IronicEcho Let's go]]."

** How have we forgotten quite possibly the most awesome one in the series? After [[MagnificentBastard Azula]] [[OutGambitted out gambits]] [[SmugSnake Long Feng]] and turns his own men against him thus taking over an entire city with just herself and two "friends", she delivers this badass quote:

** How could we forget [[LittleMissBadass Toph's]] line after inventing [[ExtraOreDinary Metalbending]]? "I am the greatest [[DishingOutDirt Earthbender]] in the world! Don't you two dunderheads ever forget it!"

--> Zuko delivers one in his ADayInTheLimelight: "[[MyNameIsInigoMontoya My name is Zuko]], son of Ursa and Fire Lord Ozai! Prince of the Fire Nation and heir to the throne!" It has the intended effect on his opponent... but unfortunately it also has the side effect of making the people he was ''defending'' hate his guts. Whoops.
---> Made worse by the fact that these people were ''rooting for him'' while he was fighting the Earth Kingdom soldier.

** And this exchange between Wonde Woman and Superman while they and GreenLantern charge the flagship and support of an alien army that had defeated them before:

-->'''Fish:''' How tough am I? How tough AM I!? I eat nails for breakfast!

** JusticeLeagueUnlimited also had a huge subversion. When Doomsday came to Earth and fought with the Justice Lords, (an Alternate Universe KnightTemplar version of the Justice League) he began a BadassBoast while doing a NeckLift on the alternate version of Superman about how tough and indestructible he was... and then the alternate Superman lobotomized him mid sentence before Doomsday could finish.

** [[GodOfEvil Darkseid]]: "Super or otherwise, you're merely a man, whereas I am [[AGodAmI a god]]." Also: "I am many things Kal-El. You couldn't begin to imagine half of them, but for now I shall take the role of executioner." And finally, "I want you to understand Kal-El, that from this point on everything that happens is on your head. The skies will rain fire, the streets will run red with the blood of billions. Only then, when your last pitiful hope is extinguished will I end your life. Let's go."
** Luthor, when told that only a twelfth-level intellect can retrieve the Anti-Life Equation: "Then I'm overqualified."
** And this exchange between Wonder Woman and Superman while they and Green Lantern charge the flagship and support of an alien army that had defeated them before:

* ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'' has a ridiculous amount of these.
--> Zuko of ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'' delivers one in his ADayInTheLimelight: "[[MyNameIsInigoMontoya My name is Zuko]], son of Ursa and Fire Lord Ozai! Prince of the Fire Nation and heir to the throne!" It has the intended effect on his opponent... but unfortunately it also has the side effect of making the people he was ''defending'' hate his guts. Whoops.

** How could we forget [[LittleMissBadass Toph's]] line after inventing [[ExtraOreDinary Metalbending]]? "I am the greatest [[DishingOUtDirt Earthbender]] in the world! Don't you two dunderheads ever forget it!"

* Often used by Yosemite Sam -- "the roughest, toughest he-man stuffest hombr?hat's ever crossed the Rio Grande. An' I ain't no namby-pamby." KarmicTrickster Characters/BugsBunny is never impressed.
* Megatron from ''BeastWars'', being the LargeHam he is, delivers one of these in the {{GrandFinale}}: "I am Alpha and Omega, Optimus Primal. Until the End of TIME!"

--> '''Kim''': It's like advertizing, Ron. It's supposed to be braggy.

* Apocalypse from ''[[Series/XMen the 90's X-Men show]]'' has a few. One of the most notable is "I am not malevolent, I simply AM!" followed by him backhanding Cable or Bishop through a wall.

* [[PlayingWithATrope Spoofed]] in ''TheSimpsons''. Bart falls for Jessica Lovejoy, whose hair "smells like red Froot Loops."

* ''SpongebobSquarepants'' does this with a random fish in the front of the line proving he's tough enough to enter the Salty Spittoon.

* Spoofed in BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold in which Aquaman upon being asked by his wife to go see the museum of cheese he replies,

* Norman in ''MightyMax''.
** Usually followed by a OneManArmy sequence. Or if the villain is simply too strong, NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.
** Brutally averted in [[spoiler: the final episode, where Norman meets his end at the mandibles of a gigantic spider. Since Norman has arachnophobia, he freezes in his tracks and is devoured without resisting much.]]

* ''BatmanBeyond''
* ''Catscratch''
* ''Tripping the Rift''

** ''Surprised? Don't be, you're not worth it. Mainframe will always endure. Remember this defeat, this humiliation, and know that you can never win.''
** Megabyte responds to this by pushing himself off the building and then saying: ''No '''you''' remember boy. How I turned defeat into victory. How I left you with a dying system.''
* Apocalypse from ''[[Series/XMen the 90's X-Men show]] has a few. One of the most notable is "I am not malevolent, I simply AM!" followed by him backhanding Cable or Bishop through a wall.

->'''Pinkie Pie:''' You better THINK before you laugh at the PINK! ''(*pause*)'' ...ie Pie!

---> Mr. Passenger: We're going to float like a butterfly and sting like a 5-ton locomotive.

* Slade from ''TeenTitans'' in the episode "Haunted."

* ReBoot has a pair of these one after the other. First is Matrix right after sparing Megabyte.

* TheSecretRailroad had one in an episode that involved the train being in a prize fight:

** How could we forget [[LittleMissBadass Toph's]] line after inventing [[ExtraOreDinary Metalbending]]? "I am the greatest [[DishingOUtDirt Earthbender]] in the world! Don't you dunderheads forget it!"

** How could we forget [[LittleMissBaddass Toph's]] line after inventing [[ExtraOreDinary Metalbending]]? "I am the greatest [[DishingOUtDirt Earthbender]] in the world! Don't you dunderheads forget it!"

* Hak Foo of JackieChanAdventures explains why he isn't using the superpower-granting talismans that he was given after Shendu's defeat: "The horse for healing? I am not so easily injured. The rooster for levitation? I already fly. The dog for immortality? ''There isn't a man alive who can vanquish me!"''

* Apocalypse from ''[[Series/XMen the 90's X-Men show]] has a few. One of the most notable is "I am not malevolent, I simply AM!" followed by him backhanding Cable or Bishop through a wall.

** Before that when he was on his AGodAmI trip (well, started it.)
--> ''"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I am that which was, which is, and is yet to come! And you will know my name is'' Megatron, ''when I lay my vengence upon you!"''

** Luthor, when told that only a twelfth-level intellect can retrieve the Anti-Life Equation: "Than I'm overqualified."
** And exchange between Wonder Woman and Superman while they and Green Lantern charge the flagship and support of an alien army that had defeated them before:
