1This 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
3There 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
9Oh, 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.
12* '''Sign your entries.'''

40** Russell Casse in ''Film/IndependenceDay'' ~ @/{{Carla}}
41** [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/{{Prototype}} The real Dr. Alexander J. Mercer]]]]. There are just not enough levels of sociopathic '''spite''' to define this guy.

49** ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders'': The entire final battle between Jotaro and Dio makes frequent use of this trope. [[spoiler:Had it not been in effect, Dio would have wasted all of his timestops on long monologues that he would not have been able to finish (his maximum duration ends up being nine seconds).

150** ''VideoGame/EliteBeatAgents''. The "Jumping Jack Flash" cover on the final stage is absolutely ''SugarWiki/{{Awesome|Music}}''. - @/WillyFourEyes
151** ''Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross'' and its sequels - they take the songs of war so seriously that they build stages ''into the command towers of their main capital ships.'' ~ @/ZekeSulastin

188* ThereAreNoTherapists
189** ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', oh so much. ~ @/{{Muffin-Shota}}, @/{{Carla}}
