13'''Shrek:''' Ohhh, you were expecting Prince Charming?\
14'''Fiona:''' Well, yes, actually!

17To whoever is asking the question, a more appropriate answer would probably be either a "no," a "maybe," or in some cases [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder no answer at all]]. Instead, however, it's answered with a blunt "Yes," or whatever else would be equivalent to "yes" in its own context. (For example, if Alice asks "Have you no shame?" Bob saying "No" or "None!" would count.) Normally followed by Alice's dumbfounded or dejected acceptance of Bob's answer.

19Maybe this reflects on differences between the asker and the answerer in terms of views toward the subject they are discussing. Maybe it implies that the answerer has a very blunt personality, such as that of a DeadpanSnarker, for instance, or is an [[TheUnapologetic unrepentant individual]] who [[NotEvenBotheringWithAnExcuse doesn't bother to excuse their actions]] when questioned about them. Sometimes it could mean both, and by its very nature often does.

21TruthInTelevision, of course, especially in online discussions, given the sheer diversity of opinions, and in turn, higher rate at which what one would consider an inappropriate response, another considers quite fitting.

25Often a subtrope of RhetoricalQuestionBlunder, such as DoesThatSoundLikeFunToYou May be used as an ArmorPiercingResponse to shut down an ArmorPiercingQuestion, and may or may not involve deliberately invoking RhetoricalQuestionBlunder. Compare with InsultBackfire, since it is often caused by similar things. Often associated with BrutalHonesty. See also BluntNo, FlatWhat, LittleNo. Compare MathematiciansAnswer.

30[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
31* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'':
32** Shinji reacts to Misato's questions like this after being returned to NERV Headquarters in Episode four.
33** When Asuka suggests that Rei would kill herself if ordered to do so, she says yes.
34** In a more comedic example, when Misato asks if Shinji considers her a slob, Shinji cheerfully says "That and lazy!"
35* In ''Manga/{{Bakuman}}'', when Miura argues with Mashiro and Takagi over whether they should go into gag manga; Miura believes that if they have no serious stories in mind, they should just do as their editor says.
36-->'''Mashiro:''' We can change up our style and genre, but I still don't think humor is the best way to utilize Takagi's skills.\
37'''Miura:''' ...!! Are you telling me that I'm wrong?\
38''BeatPanel''\
39'''Mashiro and Takagi:''' Yes.
40** In a similar case, Kosugi asks Nanamine if he thinks he's no good as an editor, and Nanamine says "Not in the slightest."
41* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
42** In the ''Manga/Naruto1997'' pilot, there is an interesting example, in which the blunt yes is ''in agreement with'' the speaker with the question. The eponymous character tells Kuroda about his mission, in which he's unable to return to his village of youkai until he makes a friend. When he remarks that it's a "dumb training exercise," with a smile on his face, Kuroda tells him "Yeah... really dumb," then tells him the only one he can trust is himself, surprising him.
43** A back-to-back double example: in the Viz translation of ''Kakashi Gaiden'', during an argument over whether to break from the mission to save Rin, Obito asks Kakashi if he thinks emotion is nothing but a useless burden, and after a long pause, Kakashi says he does. Obito then decides to save Rin on his own and Kakashi asks Obito if he knows what happens to those who break the rules. Obito, who, unbeknownst to Kakashi, has learned about Sakumo's abandoning a mission to save his comrades, says "I do, and that's why the White Fang was a true hero."
44** In the flashbacks leading up to the Uchiha massacre, some members of the clan confront Itachi, demanding to know why he wasn't at the meeting and informing him of the apparent suicide of Shisui Uchiha, Itachi's best friend and the only other absentee, while making it clear they suspect him.
45--->'''Itachi:''' Why don't you just say it? You think I did this?!\
46'''Inabi:''' In fact we do, you child.
47** In the Sasuke and Sai arc, Shizune, who questions Tsunade's choice to send Naruto's team on the mission, asks Tsunade if she believes that Shizune's own team is less suited to the task. Tsunade says yes, explaining that Naruto's drive to succeed is the main factor in why she chose to let him go on the mission.
48** Later on in the same arc, Naruto gets fed up with Sai after Sai criticizes him for making a mistake during a training session with Yamato. They finally get to the root of their feud- Naruto can't accept Sai as Sasuke's replacement, while Sai despises Sasuke for betraying the village.
49--->'''Sai:''' I wonder what Sasuke would have done in this scenario. Would he have fought while covering you? Somehow I doubt it. He [[FaceHeelTurn betrayed our village]] and tried to kill you. And you still consider him a comrade?\
50'''Naruto:''' Yes, and I would still do anything to save him. [[TeethClenchedTeamwork Even team up with you]].
51* In ''Manga/TheDisappearanceOfNagatoYukiChan'', Ryoko talks with Haruhi about Yuki and Kyon growing closer, and what it means for her, as Yuki's best friend and also friends with Kyon. After this exchange, Haruhi tells Ryoko that her friendships with Yuki and Kyon should be strong enough to withstand their having a fight.
52-->'''Ryoko:''' The more the distance between Nagato-san and Kyon-kun closes, the more it feels like they're moving further from me. And it's just… I hate it. It's lonely. I know, I know. I'm not protecting anyone. It's pure jealousy.\
53'''Haruhi:''' ''[places a hand on Ryoko's shoulder]'' Ryoko… ''[with a smile]'' Yeah, that's really dumb!
54* In ''Manga/SakiAchigaHen'', this exchange between Izumi Nijou and Hiroko "[=FunaQ=]" Funakubo happens after Izumi loses badly in the semi-finals, and Hiroko mentions all the strong first-years who have come by..
55-->'''[=FunaQ=]:''' This year brought some amazing first-years like that, too, but… do you really rank yourself among them, Izumi?\
56'''Izumi:''' That's what I keep telling myself.
57** In a much earlier scene, which takes place when Nodoka and her friends Shizuno and Ako are in elementary school.
58--->'''Nodoka:''' ''[struggling to keep up]'' Shizu, Ako…! ''gulp'' You're going too fast… There's no need for running. Why sprint away all of a sudden? Are you kids?\
59'''Shizuno:''' YES, WE ARE!
60** In ''Manga/SakiShinohayuDawnOfAge'', a blunt "no" happens when Kanna recruits her friends to form a mahjong club and defeat Hayari Mizuhara, who won the local tournament, defeating Kanna.
61--->'''Kyouka:''' Are we supposed to beat [Hayari], too?\
62'''Kanna:''' [[BrutalHonesty Nah. You're just here to be my sparring partners]].\
63'''Kyouka:''' [[LampshadeHanging Can't you at least try to show some tact]]?
64** The earliest case is in ''Manga/{{Saki}}'' between Saki and Koromo during the Nagano Qualifier Captains' match. Koromo is in the lead but Saki has begun a winning streak that allowed her to acquire enough points to make a comeback win possible.
65--->'''Koromo:''' Kiyosumi, do you think you can pull off a comeback?\
66'''Saki:''' [[BadassBoast Yes, I'm going to win.]]
67* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' Captain Hitsugaya is asked by Captain Kurotsuchi whether he ''really'' believes that Kurotsuchi's technicians monitoring the Precipice world could have made a mistake, and responds with a simple yes. Kurotsuchi momentarily responds as if he said no before realizing the actual answer.
68** During the Vandenreich’s first invasion of Soul Society, Ichigo demands to know if [[BigBad Yhwach]] is the enemy, who gives an ambiguous answer. Ichigo then furiously asks if he’s the one who’s currently trashing Soul Society, and now gets a straightforward yes.
69* ''Manga/OnePiece''
70** In Sanji's backstory, he and Zeff, who'd attacked the cruise ship where Sanji was working, end up shipwrecked and wash up on a rock in the middle of the sea. Zeff gives Sanji a small bag of food to last him until help arrives, while claiming that he took the larger share for himself due to being an adult and insisting that they not speak to one another. In reality, Zeff gave Sanji ''all'' the food they had(Zeff's bag contained treasure), and in the manga, ''ate his own leg.'' After running out of food, Sanji decides to steal Zeff's food, and uncovers the truth. This leads to a series of questions by a shocked Sanji, to which Zeff flaty replies with "yes" answers.
71--->'''Sanji:''' Did you... ''did you eat your own leg?!''\
72'''Zeff:''' Yes.\
73'''Sanji:''' Was the food that you gave me all there was to begin with?!\
74'''Zeff:''' Yes.\
75'''Sanji:''' But you can't be a pirate any more without your leg![[labelnote:Explanation]]Zeff specialized in kicking techniques, which he later taught to Sanji, so losing a leg reduces his combat potential enough to force him into retirement.[[/labelnote]]
76--->'''Zeff:''' [[RuleOfThree Yes...]]
77** Tashigi says this after saying that she believes Zoro is assuming she's weaker because she's a woman.
78--->'''Zoro:''' What do you think I am, some kind of joke?\
79'''Tashigi:''' Yes.
80** An inverted version happens later in Dressrosa, when one of the dwarves is giving Zoro directions (after having personally experienced [[NoSenseOfDirection how bad he is about that sort of thing]]).
81--->'''Wicca:''' We're gonna turn left soon. Left is the side that you don't have your swords.\
82'''Zoro:''' You don't even trust me with "right" and "left"?!\
83'''Wicca:''' Not at all!
84** Inverted during the Water Seven arc, when Robin [[ShooTheDog claims to have betrayed the Straw Hats]] during the confrontation at the Galley-La headquarters. When they're facing down the [=CP9=] assassins, Zoro's initial distrust of Robin seems to be vindicated.
85--->'''Zoro:''' Looks like they plan to get rid of us. And our "friend" Nico Robin has clearly chosen their side. Luffy, '''now''' do you understand that Robin's left the ship?\
86'''Luffy:''' I don't buy it!!!
87** In a flashback to before the above incident, Robin reveals the real reason why she apparently betrayed the Straw Hats- to protect them from the Buster Call. She then makes it clear that their well-being is the one thing she values more than her life and even the fate of the world.
88--->'''Iceberg:''' And as long as you have that, you don't care what happens to the rest of the world?\
89'''Robin:''' I ''don't''.
90** After Bluneo explains how the Buster Call traumatized Robin, and that the threat of it being used against her friends caused Robin to despair, Sanji asks if [=CP9=] knowingly used that trauma to force Robin to surrender. Blueno stoically and unapologetically says, "Of course we did."
91* In ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'', the newly revived tankery club's first order of business is to search for tanks. When [[StudentCouncilPresident Anzu]] is asked if she doesn't know where they are, she cheerfully says that no, she does not know.
92* In ''Anime/GundamBuildFightersTry'', Yuuma cheers up Fumina by suggesting that one day, her Gunpla building skills can be just as good as [[Anime/GundamBuildFighters Sei Iori's]]. When Sekai asks if that'll happen with him, Yuuma gives him a quick, blunt "No, never."
93* In ''Manga/{{Bokurano}}'', Ushiro has a conversation late in the series with Kanji's father.
94-->'''Kanji's father:''' [Kanji] was so much like his mother. He blamed me for [[DrivenToSuicide her death]], didn't he?\
95'''Ushiro:''' Yes.
96* In ''Anime/YuYuHakusho'', Kurama has the life of a demon (who threatened his mother) completely in his hands. The demon begs, ending with this exchange:
97-->'''Roto:''' You believe in mercy, don't you?\
98'''Kurama:''' No, I don't. (''kills him'')
99* In ''Manga/FairyTail'', after [[spoiler:Gray ends his infiltration of the Avatar cult to stop them from "purifying" a town by killing everyone there]], one of his former colleagues asks him WasItAllALie. His response?
100-->"Of course it was, you idiot! You think I could ever be buddy-buddy with murderers like you?"
101** In Chapter 516, Igneel gives this answer when asked by [[spoiler:Natsu]] about whether [[spoiler:his Dragon Seed and Demon Seed merging]] is fatal.
102--->'''Igneel:''' Yes. You will die.
103* ''Literature/NoGameNoLife'':
104** After the siblings defeat Kurami, she remains convinced that they, like her, used magic to cheat by colluding with another race.
105--->'''Kurami:''' You're not going to tell me that Imanity beat elf magic unaided, are you?\
106'''Sora:''' Sure I am. It's the truth.
107** A month passes after the siblings take the throne, during which time they hole up in their room. Steph, angry with them for leaving governing the kingdom to her, takes them to task, but realizes that they were reading through the castle's books and planning their next move.
108--->'''Sora:''' What, did you think all we were doing in this month was sitting in our room and playing games?\
109'''Steph:''' Yes, that is exactly and precisely what I thought.
110** Later on, the siblings recruit Kurami and her elf friend, Feel, for their plan to challenge the Warbeasts. Stephanie is honestly surprised that Feel, an elf noble whose family has served in the government for generations [[spoiler:and keeps Kurami's family as slaves]] would risk a great deal to [[spoiler:free the slaves]] and doesn't seem bothered by helping the enemy.
111--->'''Stephanie:''' Are you okay with this, Fil-san? Helping us could lead to the destruction of Elven Garde.\
112'''Feel:''' I'm okay with anything as long as Kurami doesn't get hurt. I honestly don't care in the slightest about my family, and even thought it would be faster if the whole country would just up and vanish. ''(giggles)''
113** Kurami approaches Sora, and points out that since all of his and Shiro's previous victories have been by the skin of their teeth, Kurami thinks they can only succeed against the Eastern Union if their plan goes flawlessly. Sora can't promise that, but points out that his teamwork with Shiro enables them to win all the time because they can cover for the other if they make a mistake.
114--->'''Kurami:''' Can you really be sure you won't make a single mistake?\
115'''Sora:''' Not really.
116* ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'':
117** The morality of a God of Destruction is easily summed up by this exchange between Beerus and Goku:
118--->'''Goku:''' Are billions of lives just playthings for your amusement?\
119'''Beerus:''' Yes. I ''am'' a god. What is more important, one backwater planet or a battle between gods? It's not even a question.
120** After receiving numerous warnings from Beerus and the Supreme Kais to behave himself and not make [[TopGod Zen'O]] angry, Goku asks them if he really looks like that rude of a person. Everyone present immediately replies "Yes, you do" in unison.
121* ''Manga/BloomIntoYou'':
122** Touko has spent her entire life trying to emulate [[TheAce her late older sister, Mio]]. When she learns from one of Mio's old classmates that [[spoiler:Mio wasn't anything close to being the honor student other people thought she was]], she's deeply shaken and discusses it with Yuu.
123--->'''Yuu:''' Do you have to be someone else?\
124'''Touko:''' Of course. What's the point of being who I am now?
125** Later on, Yuu asks her friend Koyomi [[spoiler:to change the ending of the play that they're working on, since she realizes Touko sees the parallels between herself and the protagonist, and Yuu wants Touko to be able to be herself, rather than imitate someone else]]. Touko's best friend, Sayaka asks why Yuu did this, at which point Yuu explains herself, resulting in the following exchange. [[spoiler:Possibly unbeknownst to Yuu, Sayaka actually agrees with her desire to change Touko]].
126--->'''Yuu:''' In the end, this is just me being selfish.\
127'''Sayaka:''' Yes. It is selfish.
128** Early on, shortly before the student council candidates' speeches, Sayaka greets Touko and Yuu.
129--->'''Touko:''' Did you come to heckle us, or because you're worried?\
130'''Sayaka:''' The former for you, the latter for Koito-san.
131** When Touko [[spoiler:turns down Sayaka's LoveConfession]], Sayaka asks if Touko loves Yuu. Touko says yes.
132* In ''Manga/ICantUnderstandWhatMyHusbandIsSaying'', during Season 2, Episode 9, Hajime's family gets on his case over how he still doesn't have a job, leading to this exchange when his younger brother Mayotama takes a turn.
133-->'''Hajime:''' Then are you telling me to work until I die?\
134'''Mayotama:''' Yes. That is the proper way for an adult to live.
135* ''Literature/SwordArtOnlineAlternativeGunGaleOnline'':
136** M has LLENN take point, since as squad leader, she's the only one whose position is shown on the map during the regular scans. After revealing that he spotted another team in the vicinity apart from the one he'd been tracking, LLENN calls him out on using her as a decoy.
137--->'''LLENN:''' Th-Then you knew and used me as a decoy?\
138'''M:''' That's right.\
139'''LLENN:''' [[LampshadeHanging "That's right"?]]
140** Outside of the game, M (aka Goshi Asougi) meets up with LLENN (aka Karen Kohiruimaki) to ask for the latter's help. Pito is planning on competing in the second Squad Jam, but with a self-imposed condition- she'll commit suicide if she loses, unless LLENN defeats her, so Goshi wants Karen to participate and win. Karen asks Goshi why he doesn't tell the police or a psychiatrist about Pito, and Goshi says he won't go against Pito's wishes.
141--->'''Karen:''' Is it because you respect her decisions?\
142'''Goshi:''' Yes.\
143'''Karen:''' Even if they're crazy? At worst, involving suicide?\
144'''Goshi:''' Yes!
145* In ''Manga/HinosanNoBaka'', Hino measures Koguma's three sizes to determine whether Koguma has A-cup breasts.
146-->'''Koguma:''' Does finding out the three sizes of someone so slender make you happy, Hino-san?\
147'''Hino:''' You bet it does.\
148'''Koguma:''' [[LampshadeHanging You answered right away]]?!
149* In ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', Midoriya notices that Uraraka is unusually fired up about the UA Sports Festival, and realizes that he never asked her why she wants to be a hero. After giving the answer, Uraraka elaborates that this is because her family's fallen on hard times, and Midoriya and Iida are fairly understanding.
150-->'''Midoriya:''' [[OnlyInItForTheMoney You wanna be a hero so you can get rich]]?\
151'''Uraraka:''' If we're cutting to the chase, then yeah.
152* In ''Manga/FailedPrincesses'', this happens when Nanaki Fujishiro talks with her friend Izumi about Miki, a girl who cut ties with Fujishiro, prompting Izumi to cut ties with Miki.
153-->'''Izumi:''' Back when you were suspended, I asked Miki this question. "Let me ask you this, Miki... So you don't consider Nanaki your friend anymore, is that it?" Like that.\
154'''Fujishiro:''' Why did you even ask her that?! With how things are between us, of course she'd say yes!\
155'''Izumi:''' Yeah, and that was exactly what she said.
156* In ''Manga/NewGame'', Umiko has Aoba sit in on Nene's interview for the programmer position to see whether Nene can stay professional with her best friend around. After a while, Umiko asks Aoba if she has any more questions for Nene, and Aoba says no.

158'''Aoba:''' Wait, you're kicking me out?\
159'''Umiko:''' Yes, that is correct.
160* In ''Manga/KemonoJihen'', this is Kabane's reaction to Inugami asking him if he thinks Akira is useless.

162'''Kabane:''' Yes. [[ExtremeDoormat But I'm fine with that.]]
163* When informed about [[spoiler:Ao moving away]], Misa of ''Manga/AsteroidInLove'' proposes that Ao try to talk her parents out of it, resulting in the following exchange. That said, Misa apologizes, saying she was exaggerating, but is entirely serious about her suggestion that Ao should tell her parents how she feels.
164-->'''Mikage:''' Are you suggesting she throw a tantrum in front of her parents?\
165'''Misa:''' Exactly.
166* ''VideoGame/MagiaRecordPuellaMagiMadokaMagicaSideStory'':
167** In Episode 3, Yachiyo disapproves of letting Iroha come along with the others to save Kaede, since according to Yachiyo, Iroha can't fight.

169'''Yachiyo:''' Yes.
170** In Episode 11, Iroha tracks down Tsukuyo Amane, one of the Wings of the Magius, to ask her for information, since she believes that they may know something about Iroha's missing sister. She then tells Tsukuyo that if she doesn't cooperate, she'll tell Yachiyo and the others about her real identity.
171--->'''Tsukuyo:''' You would threaten me?\
172'''Iroha:''' ''[coldly]'' If that's how you perceive it, that's fine with me.
173* In ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', after the TimeSkip, Rossiu, [[spoiler:having arrested Simon to use as a scapegoat]], calmly states that [[TheNeedsOfTheMany progress is often made through sacrifice]], such as when Rossiu's hometown exiled [[MissingMom his mother]] to keep to the population limit, or when [[spoiler:Kamina sacrificed himself to help capture the Dai-Gurren]].
174-->'''Simon:''' Hold it right there. Are you trying to tell me it's a good thing [[spoiler:my bro died]]?\

Lag then comes up with a solution to the problem- [[spoiler:fire a "letter bullet" at Gauche to restore his memories]], and the plan seems to work. However, it's later revealed that [[spoiler:while Gauche was able to view the memories contained in the letter bullet, his memories weren't actually restored, and the Noir persona is still dominant]]. Late in the anime, Lag asks Noir if what he did was AllForNothing, and Noir says, "Exactly."

477'''Elliot:''' Well, in that case, maybe I'll just take a quick look.
478* Happens in ''Film/TropicThunder'':

484* From ''Film/CitizenKane'':
485-->'''Leland:''' Bernstein, am I a stuffed shirt? Am I a horse-faced hypocrite? Am I a New England school marm?\

488-->'''Saul:''' I have a question: Say we get into the cage, and through the security doors there and down the elevator we can't move, and past the guards with the guns, and into the vault we can't open...\
489'''Rusty:''' Without being seen by the cameras.\

522'''Thor:''' You think yourself above them?\
523'''Loki:''' Well, yes.
524** Subverted in that Thor isn't fazed in the least:

549** ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl'': Will Turner accuses Jack Sparrow of planning to trade him to the pirates all along. Jack replies with a quick but very self-amused "Yeah."

617* In the short story [[http://www.tor.com/stories/2013/07/dangerous-women-brandon-sanderson-excerpt "Shadows for Silence"]], by Brandon Sanderson, this is TheHero's response to her daughter:

638'''Baz:''' ''[snearing]'' Why? So we can tumble around and kiss and pretend to be happy boyfriends?\

642'''Wes:''' That's true.\
643'''Wedge:''' What did you say?\
644'''Wes:''' It's true. Wedge, [[DeconstructedTrope you asked for misfits]]. You had to know that even with the ones who made the grade, they were going to take losses that were heavier than in a normal unit.

673* ''Series/AustinAndAlly'': Trish often gives Dez a blunt "yes" whenever she's annoyed by him.
674* ''Series/BabylonFive'': In one episode, an Earth Force cruiser arrives after the Great Machine is discovered on the planet Epsilon III (which Babylon 5 orbits).

When the captain of the cruiser insists upon attempting a landing despite the warnings of Sinclair and Varn, he makes a flippant remark:

677* This happens a few times in ''Series/{{Blackadder}}'':

Unfortunately he ends up with [[TheDitz George]] as his lawyer, who calls [[SitcomArchNemesis Captain Darling]] as a witness for the defence, despite the fact that Darling not only despises Blackadder, he's also prosecuting. It doesn't go well.
685--->'''George:''' Tell me, leaving aside the incident in question, would you think of Captain Blackadder as the sort of man who would usually ignore orders?\
686'''Darling:''' Yes, I would.\
687'''George:''' [[OhCrap Ah...]] um... are you sure? I was rather banking on you saying "no" there.
688* ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'':

696'''Buffy:''' ...Yes.

703'''Sam:''' ''Yes.''\
704'''Diane:''' You're incapable of a rational conversation, only flip remarks.\
705'''Sam:''' Wait a minute. Do you mean are you crazy, like seriously unbalanced, like losing your grasp on reality?\
706'''Diane:''' Yes.\
707'''Sam:''' Oh, well, then yes.
708* On ''Series/{{Community}}'', when Britta asks Jeff if her name was recently made into a verb with negative connotations[[note]]This may be an example of SureLetsGoWithThat instead, as her exact wording was "make a little mistake", and Jeff wanted to spare her feelings (as it definitely does not mean "make a ''little'' mistake").[[/note]]:
709-->'''Jeff:''' ...yes.
710* In ''Series/CriminologistHimuraAndMysteryWriterArisugawa'', Komachi expresses her worry that Himura will become a criminal, and then asks Arisugawa if he feels the same as her.

719'''The Editor:''' Oh! I was hoping for a philosophical debate. Is that all I'm going to get? "Yes"?\

When the then-Prince Charles refuses, as it violates the family's StiffUpperLip policy--"It's not what we do"--Harry tells him that he'll tweet it himself regardless. Charles bluntly asks him "IsThatAThreat?", to which Harry just as bluntly replies "Yes" before storming out.
737* On the British quiz show ''Series/HaveIGotNewsForYou'' they touched on the subject of Goldman-Sachs selling sub-prime mortgages, with panelist Ian saying some rather... uncharitable things about Goldman-Sachs, prompting this exchange:

744* ''Series/KitchenNightmares:'' [[Recap/KitchenNightmaresS6E15AmysBakingCompany Amy's Baking Company]] had this lovely exchange, about a server who simply asked for a table verification:
745-->'''Gordon:''' But the way you screamed at that young girl ''(Katy)'' last night —\
746'''Amy:''' ''(loudly and abruptly)'' Would you let anybody come into your restaurant in your kitchen and speak to you the way that that kid spoke to me last night, would you?\
747'''Gordon:''' Yeah.
748* An interview on ''Series/TheLateShowWithDavidLetterman'' led to some really amusing inversions; Creator/JohnnyDepp was on the show to promote ''Film/PublicEnemies'' and when asked how he thought the film came out, he admitted he hadn't watched it. After some pressing he shyly explained he very rarely watches his own films, and shot down any recommendations with a series of Blunt Nos.
749-->'''Letterman:''' But aren't you a little curious to just get a glimpse of yourself?\
750'''Depp:''' Not remotely, no.\
751'''Letterman:''' Is that right?\
752'''Depp:''' Truly. Honestly.\
753'''Letterman:''' But along the way when you're making a film... And say it's complicated, like some of these [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean pirate movies]] were shot consecutively. Not even consecutively, but ''simultaneously.'' Aren't you a little curious about how the work looks, that you're doing?\
754'''Depp:''' No.

764'''[=CeCe=]:''' Yes. Absolutely, I am 100 percent ashamed of you.
765* In ''Series/{{Nuremberg}},'' when discussing the trial.

767'''Jackson:''' That is ''precisely'' what we would allow.

777--->'''Omar:''' Please tell me the pie's filled with apple.\
778'''O'Wow:''' No.\
779''[Omar's face falls]''
780** In "Train of Thoughts", Oswald is attempting to solve the mystery of train cars filling up with random objects by using a number line. He asks if anyone sees a pattern within the number line, and Omar, Orla and the train's conductor all answer with a unisonant "no."
781** From "Teach a Man to Ice Fish":
782--->'''Big O:''' I'm sending you to the Arctic.\
783'''Opal:''' Wait. The Arctic like where-Omar-and-I-used-to-work the Arctic?\
784'''Big O:''' Yes. That Arctic.
785** In "End of the Road", Oswald translates Orson's explanation of how the ice cream surveillance truck only understands coordinates. This earns him confused reactions from his teammates, which he responds to with:
786--->'''Oswald:''' Am I the only one who understands baby talk?\
787'''Omar and Orla:''' Yes.

791* ''Series/RealTimeWithBillMaher'' involved Bill mimicking sarcastic anti-government questions before answering them with a BluntYes.
792-->'''Bill:''' I mean, how stupid is it when people say "[[SarcasmMode oh that's what we need, the federal government telling Detroit how to make cars, or Wells Fargo how to run a bank, you want them to look like the post office?]]"\
793[beat]\
794'''Bill:''' Yeah. I mean, a place that take a little note from my hand from LA on Monday, to give it to my sister in New Jersey on Wednesday, for 42 cents? Well let me be the first to say that I would be THRILLED if America's healthcare system was anywhere near as functional as the post office.
795* A rare humorous (and silent) version in ''Series/RedDwarf'', where the android Kryten doesn't quite share the views of his fleshy crewmates:
796-->'''Kryten:''' Sir, I ''beg'' you to reconsider, if not for your sanity. You haven't even considered the moral implications of your decision. You will be joining a society where you will be compelled to have sex with beautiful, brilliant women twice daily on demand. Now, am I really the only one here who finds that just a little bit tacky? ''(He pauses; Lister and the Cat's mouths are hanging open.)'' Well, quite clearly, I am.
797* From ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures'': [[Recap/TheSarahJaneAdventuresS1E1E2RevengeOfTheSlitheen "Revenge of the Slitheen"]].

800* In the ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' skit "Jimmy Tango's Fat Busters", "Jimmy Tango" promotes his own superfast weightloss method, addresses an obvious question when he puts forward his a vibrating heat-bead suit and "''unbelievable'' amounts of crystal meth" by saying himself, "Isn't crystal meth illegal? ''You bet!''" Then, after a brief aside to staying ahead of the law:
801-->'''Tango:''' ''Fatties -- here's my promise!'' Wear my vibrating heat beads, while blasting down handfuls of crystal meth, and you’ll drop weight ''so fast you'll lose your miiind!'' Any questions? ''You!'' [points to audience member]\
802'''Audience Member:''' Jimmy, I like what I hear, but even though I’m not a doctor, it ''sounds'' unhealthy. Does the kind of dramatic weight loss you describe have any side effects?\
803'''Jimmy Tango:''' [throws a few punches at air] You betcha!
804** What follows is half a minute of half a minute of side effects and emotional pain set to [[StepfordSmiler unstable smiling]].
805* ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'': This is Sherlock's response when John finds out his wife was an assassin.
806** Also, from "[[Recap/SherlockS01E01AStudyInPink A Study in Pink]]":
807--->'''John:''' Do people usually assume you're the killer?\
808''({{beat}})''\
809'''Sherlock:''' Now and then, yes.
810* ''Series/StargateSG1'':
811** Jack O'Neill seems particularly fond of this trope.
812--->'''Ba'al:''' You dare mock me?\
813'''Jack:''' Ba'al, come on. You should know. [[IShallTauntYou OF COURSE I dare mock you]].
814** An earlier villain:
815--->'''Heru'ur:''' You dare challenge me?\
816'''Jack:''' Was thinking about it. ''[[[TheBladeAlwaysLandsPointyEndIn throws knife through Heru'ur's hand]]]''
817** And, occasionally, to teammates:
818--->'''Jonas:''' Was it really necessary to further antagonize him?\
819'''Jack:''' ... Yes.
820** Samantha Carter pulls one of these in the very first episode, when O'Neill and Kawalsky express skepticism that she really understands what it's like to go through a Stargate.
821--->'''Kawalsky:''' I think what the Colonel is saying is... have you ever pulled out of a simulated bombing run in an F-16 at 8-plus Gs?\
822'''Carter:''' Yes.\
823'''Kawalsky:''' Well... [[LameComeback it's way worse than that.]]
824* In ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'', when Sisko blackmails Garak into participating in a rescue mission:
825-->'''Garek:''' This is ''extortion!''\
826'''Sisko:''' Hm. ''(considers for a moment)'' Yes, it is.
827** In another episode, Sisko suspects that a ship was blown up by the Romulan Empire. Garak suggests he confront them directly, but Sisko remarks bitterly than he doesn't expect the notoriously secretive and untrustworthy Romulans to be forthcoming. [[DescriptionCut Cut to:]]
828--->'''Romulan:''' Yes, we destroyed the Flaxian's ship.

832-->'''Leo:''' This is the most important thing I'll ever do, Jenny. I have to do it well.\
833'''Jenny:''' It's not more important than your marriage.\
834'''Leo:''' ...It is more important than my marriage, right now. These few years while I'm doing this, yes, it's more important than my marriage.
835** 2 more simple examples come courtesy of Bernard Thatch, after he gives a scathing review of a painting hanging in the White House.
836-->'''Bernard:''' The President, on a visit to the National Gallery, and possessing even less taste in fine art that you have in accessories, announced that he liked the painting. The French government offered it as a gift to the White House, I suppose in retribution for Euro Disney, so here it hangs. Like a gym sock on a shower rod.\
837'''CJ:''' You're a snob.\
838'''Bernard:''' Yes.
839** and
840-->'''CJ:''' You see, you try very hard to be mean, but then you see that being nice is better.\
841'''Bernard:''' You're a freakishly tall woman.\
842'''CJ:''' So that moment's over?\
843'''Bernard:''' Yes.
844* In ''Series/TheWonderYears'', Kevin confronts his (justifiably) pissed off ex-girlfriend about her telling ''everyone'' at school what he said about them while they were dating, making everyone hate him.
845-->'''Kevin:''' What do you want me to say? Does it make you feel better making ''my'' life miserable?\

875** When the replicas on Feres Island say they care nothing for the lives of the originals, Tear makes a comment regarding their personalities to [[spoiler:Luke, who is also a replica, but is questioning his own worth]].
876--->'''Tear:''' Call it a will to live that borders on arrogance. You had it once.\
877'''Replica Mary:''' You would call us arrogant?\
878'''Tear:''' Yes, I would. And someday your own words may be turned right back at you. I wonder if you'll be able to say the same thing then.
879** Before the final fight with Largo:
880--->'''Luke:''' [[YoureInsane The idea of killing everyone alive today is crazy]].\
881'''Largo:''' [[ShutUpKirk This, coming from a man who]] [[spoiler:massacred replicas to consume them]].\

888*** If you choose to call the Council and hang up on them twice:
889---->'''Asari Councilor:''' Commander. Is this some kind of game? Are you calling in a report just so you can cut us off again?\
890'''Shepard:''' You know it.
891** Inverted in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' during the ''Shadow Broker'' DLC. You can stumble across a lengthy email from a sergeant to Admiral Hackett regarding permission for Shepard, who is currently working for Cerberus, to lose their Alliance rank and be arrested for working for a terrorist organization. Hackett's reply is a simple "Permission denied."
892** ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda'': Seems to be common among krogan, given this conversation:
893--->'''Drack:''' What's with the smudge around your eyes, Peebee? Trying to be some kind of superhero?\
894'''Peebee:''' What's with all the bones? You trying to be some kind of supervillain?\

914'''Virion:''' Because frankly, I don't see wh--[[BigWhat WHAT?!]]
915** This also happens in the Female Avatar's support with Lucina if the two are not mother and daughter. In the B rank event, Robin gets tired of Lucina's refusal to believe that Robin and Chrom are merely friends.
916--->'''Lucina:''' Are you insinuating I'm naïve?\
917'''Robin:''' Oh, I'm not insinuating anything. I'm flat out saying it. You're acting like a silly, jealous child.
918** In Chapter 21, Chrom, Lucina and Robin reluctantly agree to meet with Validar, who has the one remaining gemstone for the Fire Emblem (or at least knows where it is). When Chrom asks about the gemstone, this exchange follows, which results in Validar springing the trap.
919--->'''Validar:''' The Gemstones and the Fire Emblem can be... treacherous artifacts. A fact Plegia and the Grimleal sadly know all too well.\
920'''Lucina:''' "Sadly?" You speak ill of when the first exalt used them against the fell dragon?\
921'''Validar:''' Yes I do, intruder!
922** In Robin and Tharja's C support, this exchange sets the tone for their relationship.

928--->'''Shamir:''' Now that's funny. I remember thinking you were just another knight who loved the sound of her own voice. You know, the type who's all talk, but useless in battle.\
929'''Catherine:''' Well, that's a bit harsh. Did you really think that?\
930'''Shamir:''' Yes.
931** In Dedue and Felix's C support, Felix asks Dedue a series of questions about how deep his loyalty to Dimitri runs and is disgusted by the answers.

940'''Ferdinand:''' What? You think teaming up with me is a bad idea?\
941'''Edelgard:''' Yes. Results or no results, this is far from a great idea.
942** In Linhardt and Catherine's B support, Linhardt grows frustrated with Catherine's refusal to let him study Thunderbrand as part of his Crest research, citing dangers.

946* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', this exchange happens between Reginn and her brother Ótr in Book 5.
947-->'''Reginn:''' Brother, I— I can't do it anymore. I can't keep on invading country after country while our people suffer! And the two of you...I can't stand it anymore! I want my brothers back. Please, Brother...\
948'''Ótr:''' Please?! You ask me to join forces with our enemy and war against the mighty Niðavellir?\
949'''Reginn:''' ...Yes! That's exactly right! He can't be allowed to continue inflicting pain on the world. I swear I'll stop him... Even if it kills me!
950* In [[Creator/BenCroshaw Yahtzee Croshaw]]'s AdventureGame, ''The Trials of Odysseus Kent'', the game opens as the titular character has been guided to a plot of land by his TreasureMap, he then takes out a shovel and prepares to dig, when a vicar appears and asks him if he is planning to dig on the plot.

957'''Byakuya:''' Out with it.\
958'''Toko:''' I p-probably did kill her.

961--->'''Fuyuhiko:''' Didn't [the victim] get killed in the dining hall, huh? Then everyone there is a fuckin' suspect.\
962'''Mahiru:''' Yeah, yeah. What you're really trying to say is that you're not the killer, right?\

967* ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'':
968** ''VideoGame/Persona4'':
969*** You have the option to do this many times at varying points with multiple dialogue choices, with varying results. For example, when you get a job at night, you have to ask your uncle, Ryotaro Dojima, for permission, even though he's against you wandering around at night. This leads to the following exchange, and the dialogue option shown convinces Dojima to give in and let you go.
970---->'''Dojima:''' Hey, I'm your guardian. Do you think I'm going to let you do something like this?\
971'''MC:''' You should.
972*** During the drama club version of the Sun social link, you follow Yumi to the hospital after she gets a call informing her that her mother collapsed. You then witness her confront her mother, who matter-of-factly admits that she lied to Yumi, and wanted Yumi to come to see her dying father, even though he'd abandoned the family. After the conversation ends, Yumi demands to know whether you were listening, at which point you can say, "Yeah, I heard," or "[[BlatantLies What are you talking about]]?"
973*** Midway through Yukiko's Social Link, she grouses that she wishes her mother had agreed to an interview with a "news of the weird" TV show that would end up hurting the inn's reputation, since if it shuts down, she won't feel bad about her plans to leave Inaba. You can ask her if she's serious, and she says, "I'm serious." It's later implied, however, that Yukiko privately doubts her decision to leave and only wants that to happen so that she'll have no other choice; after coming to realize what the inn means to her, she changes her mind and decides to stay.
974*** When the Investigation Team talks about who would possibly want them dead, Kanji, the second person that the heroes saved, says that a lot of people hate him. He then asks Yukiko, the first person to be rescued from the TV, if she knows of anyone that wants her dead, and she flatly says no.

The Thieves uncover the mob boss's identity, but are unable to enter his Palace, thus preventing them from stealing his heart. When Makoto checks up on them, they accuse her of being useless (the worst possible timing for that, considering Makoto's sister called her that the previous night).
980---->'''Makoto:''' (I'm) Useless?\
981'''Yusuke:''' To be frank, yes.
982*** Several Mementos targets' Shadows will ask if they're terrible people after being defeated. You can say yes.
983* In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', a serious example happens when Ansem asks why Xemnas betrayed him.
984-->'''Ansem:''' You erased me from the world, only to take my name and continue research better left forgotten... Is this the answer you've been looking for?\
985'''Xemnas:''' All that and more. I'm carrying on what you yourself began, and I'm creating a brand new world, one heart at a time.
986* In ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 5|AllianceOfVengeance}}'', one of the questions you can ask regarding the Interrogation Room is if it's really okay (i.e. ethical). The NPC in charge simply says "Yes."
987* ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry2LookingForLoveInSeveralWrongPlaces'': When Larry decides to crawl under chains on his ship, he wonders whether he isn't hundreds of miles from shore. The narrator responds with "Yes!" and then it's game over.

990'''Samos:''' I'm going to keep yapping! Because in my considered opinion, the change is an improvement!
991* Appears as a dialogue choice at one point in ''VideoGame/ShadowrunReturns'':
992-->Are you high?!\

1412[[folder:Real Life]]
1413* UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln pulled this one off once. While meeting with "commissioners" sent by the Confederacy in the late states of [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar the war]], he explained in detail his basic approach to the war: the South was not permitted to secede in the first place. That led to this:
1414-->'''Commissioner:''' You mean that we are rebels according to your view and we are all guilty of treason and liable to be hanged!\

1416* In a 2008 [=TED=] talk about cell-phones and cool time-saving tips-and-tricks on how to get the most out of them, New York Times tech columnist David Pogue recounts being on the receiving end of an especially {{JustForFun/egregious}} one of these [[http://www.ted.com/talks/david_pogue_on_cool_phone_tricks.html#780000 here]] (timestamp 13m15s to skip to the relevant part, the specific example is about a minute further in, text of that part below).
1417-->'''Pogue:''' So last year I went to Milan, Italy, and I got to speak to an audience of cellular executives from 200 countries around the world. And I said as a joke -- [[TemptingFate as a joke]], I said, "I did the math. Verizon has 70 million customers. If you check your voicemail twice a day, that's 100 million dollars a year. [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder I bet you guys are doing this just to run up our airtime, aren't you]]?" No chuckle, they're like this (he nods, straight-faced).
1418* Joschka Fischer's famous (in Germany) line "Ich habe die Steine einfach in die Luft geworfen" (I just threw the stones in the air) was this in response to Martin Hohmann of the CDU incredulously asking the question whether he threw stones to hit people or "just threw them up in the air." You can watch the whole hearing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOGNqEo9FF4 here]], the line is about twenty minutes in.
1419* A [[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36832530 debate]] on the British nuclear deterrent:
1420-->"Is [[UsefulNotes/TheresaMay she]] personally prepared to authorise a nuclear strike that could kill a hundred thousand innocent men, women and children?"\

1424'''Dawkins:''' No.
1425* Used by UsefulNotes/JoeBiden in the 2008 US presidential debates, in a moment which even his competitors found ActuallyPrettyFunny:
1426-->'''Brian Williams:''' Senator Biden, words have, in the past, gotten you in trouble ... An editorial in the Los Angeles Times said, "In addition to his [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness uncontrolled verbosity]], Biden is a [[OpenMouthInsertFoot gaffe machine]]." Can you reassure voters in this country that you would have the discipline you would need on the world stage, Senator?\
1427'''Biden:''' Yes.\
1428''[{{Beat}}]''\
1429'''Brian Williams:''' ''[Fighting a smile]'' Thank you, Senator Biden...
1430* On January 6, 2021, Creator/StephenColbert spoke live with Senator UsefulNotes/AmyKlobuchar late at night on ''Series/TheLateShowWithStephenColbert'' in the immediate aftermath of the insurrection at the Capitol while confirming the electoral votes for then President-elect UsefulNotes/JoeBiden. Having been more or less in charge of said confirmation as the Chair of the Senate Rules Committee, Klobuchar was, predictably, especially livid with Senators Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz, who had helped incite the riots. Several months later, on April 27, Colbert had her back on the show, and this exchange ensued:
1431-->'''Stephen:''' Last time we spoke you were pretty mad at Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz -- still mad?\
1432'''Amy:''' [''without hesitation''] Yeah.
1433* ''Creator/{{Bethesda}}'s'' response to a fan's question about something they encountered in one of their games:
1434--> '''nerdsandgamersftw:''' Is this a bug or a feature?
1435--> '''Bethesda:''' Yes.
1436* Dutch culture is very crass and direct. Whereas their neighbours the Germans respect hierarchy a Dutch person will argue and belittle their boss. Tact is often far found, and foreigners to the country will experience this as "Dutch directness".
