| 13 | '''Who ''DARES'' to make this page a SelfDemonstratingArticle?''' |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Standard villain or otherwise ominous being StockPhrases. Said in a booming [[EvilSoundsDeep deep]] voice, the villain rhetorically asks Who Dares whatever action the hero has done; be it defy them, attack them, talk to them, look at them, etc. Expect them to start referring to themselves [[ThirdPersonPerson in the third person]], and giving themselves important sounding adjectives. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Possibly has something to do with the odd word-order (you don't say "How do you dare?") making the phrase sound like AntiquatedLinguistics, always the domain of the overimportant egotist. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Proper heroic form, incidentally, is to stand tall and reply "'''''I''''' dare!" |
| 20 | |
| 21 | "How dare you!" is a common variant used by heroes and villains alike, the former usually in response to the villain [[KickTheDog Kicking The Dog]]. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Here is a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU1fB36ig64 compilation]] with a lot of examples of "How Dare You!" |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Any villain using this will usually give a "ThisCannotBe" variant upon defeat. |

| 82 | -->YOU '''DARE''' CHALLENGE '''''MEGAMIND?''''' |

Bonus points for it being [[spoiler: a PreMortemOneLiner.]] |
| 84 | * In ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine'', the [[BigBad head Blue Meanie]] asks Who Dares bring music back into Pepperland. TheDragon, Max, first answers, "Rimsky-Korsakov?"; this gets him blasted and stomped. He next suggests "Guy Lombardo?" |

| 121 | * Voldemort, twice, in the last ''Literature/{{Harry Potter|and the Deathly Hallows}}'' novel, when Harry [[spoiler: calls him by his real name ("Riddle") during the FinalBattle.]] It's always met with the same derisive response: |
| 122 | -->'''Voldemort:''' ''You dare--''\ |
| 123 | '''Harry:''' Yes, I dare. |
| 124 | * ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'': |
| 125 | ** Harry is so impudent. Nicodemus, the White King, the Erlking, the Winter Lady Maeve, the Black Court Wizard Mavra and others have found that there are very few lines that Harry won't cross. As the books progress, this evolves from just being his personality to an actual survival strategy -- an indignant villain yelling at him is, after all, a villain that is not currently unleashing one of the many arcane powers floating around that could crush him in an instant. |
| 126 | ** Subverted repeatedly in one of the short stories; Harry encounters a blustering teenager [[BigBadWannabe who thinks he's a powerful warlock but has hardly any talent at all]]. When he challenges Harry to a magical duel and [[CombatPragmatist Harry simply draws a gun]], he repeatedly says "You would dare--" only to be constantly interrupted. |
| 127 | * The {{Troperrific}} Doctor Impossible shouts this repeatedly in ''Literature/SoonIWillBeInvincible'', especially during the climax. In his narration, he reflects that it's kind of silly, but part of the role of being a supervillain. |

| 129 | ** The [[UnfortunateNames coincidentally named]] He Man ([[UsefulNotes/WhyMaoChangedHisName Pronounced something like 'Huh Mahn']]) shouts 'I am He Man, the devil who shoots across the sky. Who dare fight with me?' when he appears. He is immediately cut down by a random minor character. |
| 130 | ** In Chapter 42, Zhang Fei stands on a bridge to hold the line for a retreating Liu Bei, loudly challenging Cao Cao's army with "Who dares fight me?". He intimidates the approaching army so much that his booming voice causes one of Cao Cao's generals to ''die on the spot'' from shock, and the army scatters shortly after that. |
| 131 | ** Also the death of Shu general Wei Yan. On the order to retreat from Wuzhang Plains for Zhuge Liang's final plan, Wei Yan insists that they should charge instead. He then boasts "Who dares kill me!?" in order to assert his authority, only for Ma Dai to reply with "I dare!" and cut him down, allowing the others to retreat. |
| 132 | * Lucy, now fully undead, calls this out in some versions of ''{{Dracula}}'' after the heroes stop her just as she is about to feed on a child. |
| 133 | * ''Franchise/StarWars'': |
| 134 | ** Played fairly straight in one novel, where Mara Jade strolls into the lair of the BigBad to save the main character in a BigDamnHeroes moment: |
| 135 | --->'''BigBad:''' Who ''DARES?''\ |
| 136 | '''Mara Jade:''' [[OneLiner Who]] ''[[OneLiner cares ]]'' [[OneLiner is more like it]]. |
| 137 | ** In the ''Hand of Thrawn'' duology, the booming automated voice whenever someone enters Thrawn's personal [[spoiler:cloning chamber]]: |
| 138 | --->"Who dares disturb the sleep of the Syndic Mitth'raw'nuruodo?!" |
| 139 | * ''Literature/JourneyToChaos'': Getis squeaks out "You...you...dare.." after being subjected to a GroinAttack. Eric smugly replies, "''[[CombatPragmatist Mercenary]]''". |
| 140 | * ''Creator/EdgarAllanPoe'' Features this trope in "The Masque if The Red Death" . It's the first [[YouAreAlreadyDead (and last)]] thing that Prince Prospero says to the Red Death when the same dares to interrupt the bacchanalian, hedonistic Party they're having. |
| 141 | * In the Literature/LiadenUniverse, Clan Korval has this as its BadassCreed: "I Dare". |
| 142 | * ''Literature/TheFallOfTheHouseOfCabal'': When the devil Zarenyia is [[SummoningRitual summoned out of Hell]], she manifests dramatically with the beginning of a "Who dares summon..." speech, then realizes it's [[AffablyEvil her friend Johannes]] and breaks off with a delighted hello. |
| 143 | [[/folder]] |
| 144 | |
| 145 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 146 | * Every Go'auld in ''Series/StargateSG1'' plays this straight; naturally O'Neil mocks them for it every chance he gets. Eventually, by the episode "Zero Hour" it becomes: |
| 147 | -->'''Ba'al:''' You dare mock me?\ |
| 148 | '''O'Neill:''' Ba'al, come on! You should know. Of ''course'' I dare mock you. |
| 149 | * ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E14Innocence Innocence]]". The Judge, an invincible demon summoned to destroy the world, asks this when Buffy shoots him with a crossbow. |
| 150 | * ''Series/{{Angel}}'': |
| 151 | ** In "[[Recap/AngelS04E14Release Release]]", when Angelus gets annoyed at how the Beastmaster is [[HearingVoices booming away in his head]]. |
| 152 | --->'''Beastmaster:''' YOU WOULD DARE TO DEFY ME?\ |
| 153 | '''Angelus:''' Defy who? A big scary voice? Whoa! Hey, I got one of those, too. You wanna hear it? ''[cups his hands over his mouth]'' You can kiss my vampire ass! |
| 154 | ** In "[[Recap/AngelS05E04HellBound Hell Bound]]", Spike's response to evil ghost Pavayne asking "You dare?" is a laconic "Quite a bit, mate." |
| 155 | ** In "[[Recap/AngelS01E12Expecting Expecting]]", when he was still something of a ComedicHero, Wesley nevertheless comes up with a good response to this trope. |
| 156 | --->'''Haxil:''' WHO IS THE INTERLOPER? TO THINK YOU COULD DISTURB THE [[BizarreBabyBoom BIRTH OF MY CHILDREN?]] {{WHO ARE YOU}}?\ |
| 157 | '''Wesley:''' Wesley Wyndham-Pryce, rogue demon hunter. And I'm here to fight you, Sir, to the death... preferably yours. |
| 158 | * The Singaporean version of ''Crimewatch'', (not to be confused with ''Series/CrimewatchUK''), drops this phrase in a rather memetic exchange. |
| 159 | -->'''Vicky:''' Don't you think you can insult my boyfriend!\ |
| 160 | '''Kai:''' Why not? You're nothing but a prostitute.\ |
| 161 | '''Vicky:''' ''[[ChewingTheScenery HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A PROSTITUTE]]!''\ |
| 162 | '''Kai:''' But you ''are''!\ |
| 163 | '''Vicky:''' [[TranquilFury You better say sorry]].\ |
| 164 | '''Kai:''' Why should I? Go to hell. |

| 185 | * ''VideoGame/AgeOfWonders: Shadow Magic'': Undead King Joseph attempts to intimidate the player like this. Then he remembers that he was only a minor villain who died in all endings of the first game, and immediately decides it would be much smarter to get on the player's good side. |

| 203 | * ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors 4'': When approached for a duel, Lu Bu beckons you with "You ''dare'' face the mighty Lu Bu!?". Bad idea to dare if you are low leveled and are at Hu Lao Gate. |

| 205 | ** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'', Diablos spouts this — "Who dares disturb my sleep?"[[note]]A bunch of teenagers armed with magical monsters, that's who.[[/note]] |
| 206 | ** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII2'', when Noel and Sarah stumble into the Coliseum in search of a fragment, the first thing they hear from the Arbiter of Time is "Who dares?! Explain this intrusion!" Noel tells him that they'll leave if he gives them the fragment and since he wants neither the fragment ("an omen of time-shattering misfortune") nor their presence, he gives them the fragment and they leave. |

| 227 | ** If a different dialogue path is chosen in the same encounter, the Shaman can say the exact same words to Uvenk when he questions his authority.

| 236 | * When a mimic of [[VideoGame/SpiderMan2000 Spider-Man]] knocks out security at the Science Expo: |
| 237 | -->'''Dr. Octavius:''' Who dares? Face me coward! Face a worthy foe! |
| 238 | * ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': |
| 239 | ** [[spoiler:Doopliss]], the doppleganger from ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'' asks something like this when you confront him and your deceived allies. From the same game, [[spoiler:Gloomtail]] also gets one of these moments when you enter his lair in the final chapter. |

| 245 | ** ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': "Who dares awaken Archaedas? Who dares the wrath of the Makers?" Apparently daring the wrath of things isn't actually all that daring in the Warcraft universe. |

| 247 | --->'''Keli'dan the Breaker:''' Who dares interrupt -- [[OhCrap What is this, what have you done? You'll ruin everything!]] |
| 248 | ** From the third game: |

| 256 | * A ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' strip had a book containing the lines: |
| 257 | --> A voice was heard to say, "Who dares disturb the Crypt Of The Immortal Space Bitches?" "I am Grimm Shado," said Grimm Shado, his triple wand claws extending. "And I am here to take it to the limit." |
| 258 | ** ''Fuck yes.'' |
| 259 | * ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' |
| 260 | ** In the prequel ''StartOfDarkness'': |
| 261 | --->'''Xyklon the Consequential:''' Who dares to disturb Xyklon the Consequential?! |

[[{{Schadenfreude}} What Tarvek was receiving]] to make him deliver the line [[NoodleIncident we can only guess]]. |
| 272 | ** [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030820 The Dragon of Mars]] delivers the trope straight. |

| 277 | * ''WebVideo/DragonballZAbridged'': |
| 278 | ** While the actual words "Who dares" are never actually said, the spirit is very much there in the series' version of ''Super Android 13''. Both Vegeta and Piccolo are hanging out in the Arctic looking for some alone time when the battle between Goku, Trunks, and the androids disturbs them. Both of them make a LargeHam entrance that includes both a display of their Ki power and starting to ask who disturbed them before they realize who it is. |
| 279 | --->'''Vegeta:''' [Shatters a glacier and intones in a dramatic voice] For thousands of years I lay dormant! Who has disturbed my-\ |
| 280 | '''Goku:''' Hey best buddy!\ |
| 281 | '''Vegeta:''' [speaking normally] ...oh, it's ''you''. |
| 282 | ** From Episode 54 of the main series, when Cell announces the Cell Games: |
| 283 | --->'''Cell:''' And much like [[YourMom Vegeta's mother]], I will accept all comers.\ |
| 284 | '''Vegeta:''' ''[suddenly shirtless for some reason]'' HOW DARE. |
| 285 | * ''WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory'': In "Zeus vs Thor", Zeus's opening line is "How dare you challenge my immortal throne?" |
| 286 | * Platform/GoAnimate [[YouAreGrounded grounded]] videos tend to have the parent/parent figure characters shout "[Name of troublemaker], how dare you [infraction]?" as part of their usual spiel of grounding the troublemaker. |
| 287 | * From the ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'' review of ''VideoGame/{{Subnautica}}'', when Yahtzee discusses how addictive the game is: |
| 288 | -->'''Random passerby:''' Hey Yahtzee, still playing that game?\ |
| 289 | '''Yahtzee:''' ''Who DARES trespass upon Fortress Ocelot Alpha?!'' |
| 290 | [[/folder]] |
| 291 | |
| 292 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 293 | * Not villain-ish, but a few episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'' invoke this trope. A good example, in ''High Tea'': |
| 294 | -->'''Grumpy Emperor Austin:''' WHO DARES RING MY DOORBELL?!\ |
| 295 | '''Tasha:''' It's me, Tasha.\ |
| 296 | '''Tyrone:''' And me, Tyrone.\ |

| 303 | --->'''Ben:''' ''[mashing Kevin into the ground, having morphed into Way Big]'' '''HOW ''DARE'' YOU?!''' |
| 304 | ** The SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' played with this: |
| 305 | --->'''Dr. Animo:''' Who dares?\ |
| 306 | '''Brainstorm:''' That isn't the way to tell a joke, miscreant. First, I say "knock, knock", then you say "who dares?" |
| 307 | * ''WesternAnimation/BikerMiceFromMars'': |
| 308 | ** [[NametoRunAwayfromReallyFast Deathmaster]] combines it with an ImpliedDeathThreat when he was teleported from his world: |
| 309 | --->'''Deathmaster:''' What worm-ridden '''carcass''' would dare spirit me from my catacombs? |
| 310 | ** In "The Motor City Maniac", [[BigBad Limburger]] wonders this when he learns somebody else attacked his men. |
| 311 | --->'''Limburger:''' Who others than those meddlesome Biker Mice would dare wage war against Limburger? One would have to be a moron, a mouse or a complete madman! |
| 312 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{DC Super Hero Girls|2019}}'': In "[[Recap/DCSuperHeroGirls2019S1E12SheMightBeGiant #SheMightBeGiant]]", Giganta to the sports store clerk, right after having thrown him through the entrance's glass pane. |

| 314 | * ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'': |

| 317 | ** Memorably parodied in "This Little Piggy": |
| 318 | --->'''Circe:''' ''[after taking two tables to the face]'' Insolent trickster! You dare to strike--! ''[chair]'' You dare to stri--! ''[another table]'' ''You dare to strike--!'' ''[[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking tablecloth]]]'' [[NotSoStoic QUIT IT!]] ''[stares]'' [[OhCrap Oh no.]] ''[[[PianoDrop piano]]]'' |
| 319 | * ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': In his earliest appearances as a western outlaw, Yosemite Sam would issue a dare as to "any lily-livered polecat" who would try to tame him. Bugs would be more than up to the challenge. |
| 320 | * ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePony'' |
| 321 | ** In the G3 movie ''Twinkle Wish Adventure'', when the ponies approach the dragon's cave, they are greeted with a booming, "Who dares disturb the dragon?" However, when Pinkie Pie states their names and business, the voice instantly changes to a friendly tone and welcomes them in. |
| 322 | ** In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "Dragonshy", this is said ''to'' the dragon, signifying Fluttershy's [[LetsGetDangerous shift]] from TheLoad to BewareTheNiceOnes. |
| 323 | * From ''WesternAnimation/PopeyeTheSailorMeetsSindbadTheSailor'': "Who fouls the air with notes so sour, and dares to challenge Sindbad's power?" |
| 324 | * A ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' sketch has George W. Bush discover he is a Jedi. He then uses his lightsaber to vandalize the Lincoln Memorial only for it to rise from the ground and reveal a hibernating Abe Lincoln underneath... |
| 325 | -->'''Lincoln:''' Who dares disturb my slumber?\ |
| 326 | '''Bush:''' Well who dares question my... daring... of his dare?... jerk? |
| 327 | * ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' had a very large hippo-woman whose RunningGag was berating Rocko the AccidentalPervert with '''"HOW DARE YOU'''", delivered in a creepy fashion. |
| 328 | * Aku of ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' is particularly good at this, playing it utterly straight in his first confrontation with Jack... only to subvert the trope much later on when he's visited by a group of gangsters that don't merit the full Who Dares speech. |
| 329 | -->'''Aku:''' ''[bored]'' Who dares to summon--oh, it is ''you''...\ |
| 330 | '''Don:''' Uh, hi boss!\ |
| 331 | '''Aku:''' Do you forget you are forbidden to come here? |
| 332 | * This is the Flying Dutchman's main CharacterCatchphrase in ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': "Who dares disturb the Flying Dutchman?!" |
| 333 | * A variation in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'' where it's Grand Admiral Thrawn who explains exactly who is doing the daring. Hera is posing as a Twi'lek servant girl, but drops the act when she realises that Thrawn has worked out who she really is. |
| 334 | -->'''Hera:''' It doesn't matter where we come from, ''Admiral'', our will to be free is what's going to beat you!\ |
| 335 | '''Slavin:''' You...You ''dare!''\ |
| 336 | '''Thrawn:''' Slavin please, you embarrass me in front of our host.\ |

| 338 | '''Thrawn:''' May I introduce Hera Syndulla -- rebel pilot, freedom fighter, and military leader. |
| 339 | * ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'': In the series finale, "Legacy", ComicBook/{{Superman}} and ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} have finally come to blows in the climax of the series. As Darkseid mercilessly devastates Superman with the [[EyeBeams Omega Beam]], Superman manages to get close enough to finally lay hands on his foe. However, unlike many of the entries on this page, Darkseid really is [[PhysicalGod that powerful]], and regards Superman's blows more with confusion than anything before he [[BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu grabs Superman's fist, crushing his hand]] as Darkseid drags the Man of Steel to his knees. |
| 340 | -->'''Darkseid:''' You '''''DARE''''' strike me!? |
| 341 | * In the 1990s ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'' cartoon, this is the mutant warlord Apocalypse response when his arch-enemy Cable infiltrates his pyramid temple in Cairo in 3999 AD. |
| 342 | -->'''Apocalypse:''' You ''dare'' challenge Apocalypse again? [[AGodAmI Blasphemer!]] |

| 345 | [[folder: Real Life]] |
| 346 | * Inverted with the motto of the British Special Air Service (and many other units with ties to the British SAS): ''[[BadassBoast Who Dares, Wins]]''. |
| 347 | * Unironically used in Neil Bauman's laughable 'cease and desist' letter to [[Website/{{YTMND}} YTMND dot com]], which included the line ''How dare you and your brethren make death threats against our personnel?'' |
| 348 | * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greta_Thunberg Greta Thunberg]]'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMrtLsQbaok "How dare you?" speech]] became famous [[MemeticMutation internet meme]] to the point that if you just type "how dare you" on Website/{{Google}}, you will immediately see Greta Thunberg herself wearing a pink shirt. |
