1 | This is simply what you think is the (not some of the, '''''the''''') best example of any objective trope (so no YMMV or Trivia as they are not tropes proper and the former is already subjective) The "Crowning Example" if you will. |
2 | |
3 | There could be several reasons you think an example is the best. |
4 | * You think it's the best in terms of illustrating the trope. |
5 | * You think it's the most well done. |
6 | * It's your favorite play in that trope. |
7 | * You just really like the source material. |
8 | |
9 | Oh, several things before you list examples: |
10 | * Each troper gets one example per trope, no more. |
11 | * Don't go "no, this is," or phrases like that. This is about our own personal favorites. |

135 | ** [[Series/TheWire Omar Little]] is a KarmicThief who only steals from drug dealers and criminals, has many memorable boasts throughout the series. Take your pick from any of the following ones: |
136 | *** He gets into a shootout with two assassins from a drug empire he robbed several episodes earlier, killing one and wounding the other. He tells the surviving assassin the lesson he should learn from this encounter: "You come at the King, you best not miss!" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5yOSD0mE8M Scene]] |
137 | *** He declares war on Marlo Stanfield, the most ruthless, sociopathic, and murderous criminal kingpin Baltimore has ever known by robbing one of Marlo's shipments, burning the drugs and the money, and telling one of Marlo's wounded men to deliver a message to Marlo: "Now you make sure you tell ol' Marlo I burned the money. Cause this [[ItsPersonal ain't about that paper]], it's about me hurting his people, messin' with his world! You tell that boy he ain't man enough to come down to the streets with Omar!" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq-IJ5VGTJ4 Scene]] |
138 | *** In a more low key example, Omar is testifying against another criminal, and is asked the standards questions about his name, occupation, etc. When Omar says that he's been robbing drug dealers for about eight or nine years, the DA asks how anyone can rob drug dealers for eight or nine years and get away with it. Omar shrugs, leans back in his chair, and smiles before replying "A day at a time, I suppose!" [[http://youtu.be/ulIPnwiFYQU?t=3m11s Scene]] -- Tropes/TheWanderer |

Can also be (in most cases) a shining example of CutsceneIncompetence, especially in Deadlocked, where you are captured by a bare handful of the same robots that you will be destroying by the dozens later in the game, often with a single round of ammo from the Harbinger. ~Whiteface, occasional troper who doesn't feel like registering |

629 | ** One of the complaints brought up against ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' is that, as the series goes on, it looks more and more like Creator/MasashiKishimoto legitimately can't decide on who the main villain should be. At the beginning, [[MadScientist Orochimaru]] was the BigBad, and was well liked in that role. Then the Akatsuki clan became involved, and [[WellIntentionedExtremist Pain/Nagato]], [[KnightTemplar Danzo]], [[{{Necromancer}} Kabuto]], and [[AloofBigBrother Itachi]] all tried to grab the position, then [[FallenHero Tobi/Obito]] turned out to be the true leader, then he resurrects his boss the real Madara, who gets literally backstabbed by Black Zetsu [[TheDogWasTheMastermind of all people]], who is the will of both him and [[GreaterScopeVillain Princess Kaguya]], who is then revived through Madara and becomes the FinalBoss, except the real final boss is [[RivalFinalBoss Sasuke]], then Kagyua's descendant Toneri takes up the torch, then Momoshiki is revealed to be the even GreaterScopeVillain that Kaguya was fighting against, and even he and Toneri are hinted to work for some higher power or clan- look, Kishimoto, '''will you make up your mind already?!''' Even ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'', which is also infamous for its [[KudzuPlot stupidly complicated plot]], at least bothered to only have one single mastermind (Xehanort) through the series (or the Dark Seeker Saga, anyway). ~Master N |

848 | ** Pretty much all of the aliens in the Literature/{{Animorphs}} series. You've got blue centauars with no mouths, a pair of eye mounted on tentacles, a razor sharp blade on their tail, four hearts (one in each of their hoofs), communicate telepathically, and absorb food nutrients through their hoofs. Then you've got the yeerks, which are giant green/gray slugs that flatten themselves out and take over your mind through the ear canal. They are blind, almost deaf, and basically helpless in their natural form, and every three days have to bask in the light of their homeworld, or they'll die. That's not even getting into Visser Three's crazy ass alien morphs, amongst which are ''multi headed dragon like monsters'', aliens with ''wheels'' for feet, and one alien that ''shoots missiles out of its mouth''. ~ SG_Man_Forever |
849 | ** [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} John A. Zoidberg]].

1209 | ** At the beginning of ''VideoGame/SupermanAtari2600'', you are Clark Kent and you have to walk one screen to the right and approach a bridge, which is blown up, forcing you to walk back to the screen whence you started, enter the phone booth, and change into the Superman garb so you can fly over it.
