Go To

1'''Basic Trope''': A character gets easily excited or riled up.
2* '''Straight''': Bob is loud, boastful, and enthusiastic.
3* '''Exaggerated''': Bob [[NoIndoorVoice yells excessively]], [[InTheNameOfTheMoon spouts bold righteous statements]], [[{{Determinator}} would die before giving in]], [[MundaneMadeAwesome spices up his life by doing mundane actions in a epic way]], [[MotorMouth converts entire paragraphs into words]], and [[HeroicSpirit exerts himself to the breaking point]].
4* '''Downplayed''': Bob is a passionate person with a zest for life, but knows that there is a time and place for its expression.
5* '''Justified''':
6** Bob's sword/{{powered armor}}/[[HumongousMecha giant robot]]/etc., is [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve powered by his fighting spirit]], and he's learned to make the most of it.
7** Being excitable and fiery is just part of Bob's personality.
8* '''Inverted''':
9** Bob is [[TheEeyore hopelessly depressed and unenthusiastic]].
10** Bob is TheStoic.
11* '''Subverted''': Though a member of a ProudWarriorRace, Bob is calm and collected at all times.
12* '''Double Subverted''': ... but when pushed too far, he goes into an UnstoppableRage.
13* '''Parodied''': [[MyBloodRunsHot Bob's passion literally burns, setting things on fire]]. His friends always follow him around with a fire extinguisher to put out any fires that started when he gets excited.
14* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob is a member of a ProudWarriorRace who is calm and collected at all times until he's hit with a [[BrainwashedAndCrazy mind control spell]] that's supposed to put him in an UnstoppableRage, but instead it makes him hopelessly depressed and unenthusiastic.
15* '''Averted''': Bob doesn't get worked up easily.
16* '''Enforced''': The [[MerchandiseDriven action figure manufacturer]] included voice-clips of Bob shouting ridiculous one-liners and the names of his various super attacks, so the writers gave him a personality to match.
17* '''Lampshaded''': "Bob sure likes to get fired up. Does this fight mean that much to him or is he just crazy?"
18* '''Invoked''': Bob has modeled his behavior after his favorite big-muscled heroes in comics who always speak in CAPITAL LETTERS!
19* '''Exploited''': Bob's allies rely on his gun-ho mentality to provide distractions while they infiltrate the base from now unguarded entry points.
20* '''Defied''': Alice goes on a mission instead of Bob because it requires patience, stealth, and discretion, traits Bob decidedly lacks.
21* '''Discussed''': "Listen, Bob, unlike in action movies, the best warriors [[ThisIsReality in real life]] tend to be those who can keep a cool head under pressure. Can you tone it down a little?"
22* '''Conversed''': "Ever notice how Bob never seems hesitant or doubtful when he gets in those action scenes? In fact, he pretty much flips out all the time." "Yeah, but it sure is [[RuleOfCool fun to watch]]. His actor must be [[LargeHam enjoying it too]]."
23* '''Deconstructed''': Bob is regarded as a reckless hothead who disregards tactics [[LeeroyJenkins in favor of charging into trouble]]. His troops suffer from bad morale and eventually lose a critical battle.
24* '''Reconstructed''':
25** See exploited
26** Bob realizes that true passion derives from holding a strong guiding belief, and reaffirms what LaResistance is fighting for in the first place. By reigning in his hot blood to account for tactics and planning and letting loose when things naturally heat up, Bob becomes an [[VoiceOfTheResistance inspiration]] rather than an embarrassment.
27* '''Played For Laughs''': Bob gets fired up over the [[MundaneMadeAwesome most mundane tasks possible]].
28* '''Played For Drama''': Bob is hiding deep-rooted psychological problems that cause him to lash out aggressively to every confrontation that comes his way, eventually culminating in a total nervous breakdown.
