** [[OneManArmy Bob]] [[KillEmAll Killed 'Em All.]] [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome He's]] [[CrowchingMoronHiddenBadass just that]] {{Badass}}.

* '''Exaggerated''': Bob attacks the entire enemy army armed only with a [[VideoGame/{{Mother3}} butter knife]], forgetting the combined arms assault that is due to start within minutes.

* '''Subverted''': Alice is GenreSavvy and creates a battle plan that [[BatmanGambit takes into account the fact that Bob will charge blindly ahead with no regard for any plan she makes]].
* '''Double Subverted''': Bob constantly talks about how he can't wait to fight, putting him at odds with Alice. When the time for the battle arrives, Alice invites him to attack the enemy by himself. Bob decides that it's a better idea to stick to the plan. A minute later he decides waiting is boring and charges ahead anyway.

* '''Discussed''': "Bob, stop being such a Leeroy, you're going to mess everything up!"

* '''Conversed''': "I just ''know'' he's gonna to ruin the plan."

* '''Exaggerated''': Bob attacks the entire enemy army armed only with a [[VideoGame/{{Mother3}} butter knife]] and his underpants, forgetting the combined arms assault that is due to start within minutes.

* '''Justified''':
** Bob attacks the entire enemy army by himself because he is actually a godlike being in disguise.
** Bob's superior officer, Alice, is a [[GeneralFailure tactical moron]] whose strategy is so full of holes that it's just as likely to get them all killed as charging blindly on. Even Bob can see this, so why bother with planning?
** Bob's noticed that the enemy is woefully unprepared, and the time needed to prepare a coordinated attack would give the enemy too much time to regroup. Alice was too caught up in forming intricate plans to notice that the simplest plan in this case is probably best.
* '''Inverted''':
** Bob is itching to attack the enemy and often talks about how he longs for glory and honour in battle. When the actual attack starts, he follows the plan to the letter.
** When the attack starts, Bob is the only one sticking to the plan. Everyone else runs in recklessly.
** CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass
** WeNeedADistraction
* '''Subverted''':
** Bob is at odds with his his superior, Alice, who is determined to follow the plan and repeated drills her subordinates until they can do it in their sleep. When the actual attack starts, Alice charges ahead while Bob follows the plan.
** Bob's charge actually works out well.
** Alice is GenreSavvy, and creates a battle plan that takes into account the fact that Bob will charge blindly ahead with no regard for any plan she makes.

* '''Deconstructed''': Bob charges forth, ruining the plan, and gets quickly slaughtered. Despite this, [[PyrrhicVictory a victory is still managed]], [[NiceJobBreakingItHero albeit with massive loss of life]]. However, due in part to a painting made of the battle, depicting Bob charging bravely, weapon swung high, while his comrades seemingly cower in fear, Bob goes down in history as a [[FakeUltimateHero hero and a martyr]]. Every word he ever spoke becomes a famed quote, and every politician and every idiot in a FlameWar [[MisaimedFandom liken themselves to the heroic Bob]], charging forward with their beliefs, regardless of the oppression of their opponents. All because Bob was way, way TooDumbToLive.

* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Bob is a well-trained soldier that doesn't want to die, and as a result spends most of the battle crouched behind cover.

* '''Lampshaded''':
** Bob screams "LEEROOOOOOY JEEEENKIIIINSS!!!" as he attacks the enemy.
** "He just ''had'' to run in there and get himself killed, didn't he."
* '''Invoked''': Alice encourages Bob's belief in the pointlessness of keeping to the plan, hoping it will make him attack early and get him killed.
* '''Defied''': Alice sees Bob is about to attack ahead of schedule, and tackles him to the ground to stop him.

* '''Conversed''': "Ugh, I just ''know'' he's going to ruin the plan."
