'''Basic Trope''': Badass, heroic barbarian.
* '''Straight''': TheBigGuy Claidheamh in ''JustForFun/TalesOfTroperia'' is a BraveScot and a rather barbaric and crass fellow, toting around a [[{{BFS}} huge claymore]], being capable of taking down ''anyone'' in either a fisticuffs brawl or a sword fight, and is one of the best warriors out there.
* '''Exaggerated''': Claidheamh is the WorldsStrongestMan and the WorldsBestWarrior, and he's practically a caveman!
* '''Downplayed''': While Claidheamh is rather wild and vicious, he's still surprisingly civilized for a barbarian, as he knows the basic societal fundamentals.
* '''Justified''': Living in the wild tends to make you stronger as a result; Conversely, living in a society makes you weaker as a result.
* '''Inverted''':
** Claidheamh is a badass, ''villainous'' barbarian. While he's just as badass as one would expect, he's definitely one who nobody would wish to mess with lest they enrage him and meet the business end of his sword.
** TheHero Sir Robert is a badass, heroic knight, having chivalrous ideals, and can take down ''anyone'' in a duel.
** Sir Robert is a badass, ''villainous'' knight. While he's just as badass as one would expect, he's [[KnightTemplar definitely one who nobody would wish to mess with lest they enrage him and meet the business end of his sword]].
** Claidheamh is a scrawny weakling whose only good traits is being an uncannily good runner.

* '''Subverted''': Claidheamh is revealed to be a scrawny, wee bairn with an oversized sword.
* '''Double Subverted''': He grows up to be a mountain of muscle a year down the line.
* '''Parodied''': Claidheamh is a Barbarian Hero in a High Fantasy, where normally a FarmBoy would be the protagonist. He tends to be a complete LowerClassLout at times, driving just about ''everyone'' up the wall with his ludicrous antics, to the point where the EvilOverlord would [[PreferJailToTheProtagonist prefer getting captured to being in the same room as HIM]].
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Claidheamh's barbarism tends to be DependingOnTheWriter.
* '''Averted''': Claidheamh, as a barbarian, is comedically average.
* '''Enforced''': RuleOfCool.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Tae crush me enemies, tae see them all driven before me, tae rob them of their wealth, an' tae hear the lamentations of their beloved... ''That'' is what's best in life."
* '''Invoked''': Claidheamh chooses to live a life of barbaric hunting and gathering in order to become stronger as a result.
* '''Exploited''': Claidheamh has a much, ''much'' better immune system than those he faces off as a result of his barbaric lifestyle in contrast with them having to live with the overcrowding, godawful nutrition, and unsanitary hygiene, and as a result, he's essentially one who just has to [[VictoryByEndurance outlast his easily tired enemies]] before coming in for the kill.
* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
