History PlayingWith / OhCrap

* '''Zig Zagged''':

* '''Straight''': [[SmugSnake Seymour]] sees [[TheHero Bob]] coming towards him and widens his eyes in fright, stepping back in fear.

'''Basic Trope''': A character realises that they are in deep trouble.

* '''Averted''': Seymour is never in an OhCrap position, or doesn't react to the beatdown.

* '''Downplayed''': Seymour blinks and flinches for a split second, but is back to normal right after.

** Bob is disturbed by how frightened Seymour seems to be and realizes that he is still human, even if he's a jerk.

* '''Lampshaded''': The GenreSavvy Seymour says; "I think this is the part when I say OhCrap."

** Seymour looks panicky, but then reveals that he was faking it. He then dispatches Bob in a cloud of dust.

* '''Double Subverted''': Bob comes out from the cloud of dust and Seymour's reaction is genuine this time.

* '''Exaggerated''': Seymour suffers from a VillainousBSOD.

* '''Zig Zagged''': Seymour is repeatedly put into this position, but at some moments he/she weathers the worst punishment without so much as a whimper, yet at other times is frightened out of his wits.

* '''Inverted''': Seymour becomes [[DeathSeeker delighted]] before Bob beats him up and/or kills him, perhaps because Seymour thinks he [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone deserves it]] or has been [[BreakTheHaughty broken]].

* '''Subverted''': Seymour looks panicky, but then reveals that he was faking it. He then dispatches Bob in a cloud of dust.

* '''Deconstructed''': Bob is disturbed by how frightened Seymour seems to be and realizes that he is still human, even if he's a jerk.
** Seymour's surprise sets him off-guard and leads to his defeat.
* '''Reconstructed''': Bob offers the frightened Seymour a second chance. Ideally, Seymour [[HeelFaceTurn leaps at the chance]] and learns AnAesop.

* PlayedForLaughs: Seymour delivers his OhCrap reaction in the most deadpan manner possible.

No wait, don't go back there! ... OhCrap.
