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. |

93 | ** Harry Osborn from ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan''. He's the unfavorite even though he's an ''only child'', his best friend has to be the favorite. ~ 2heartgirl |
94 | ** [[Film/HomeAlone Kevin McCallister]] ~ @/{{Monolaf317}} |
95 | ** [[WesternAnimation/HeyArnold Helga Pataki]] ~ @/{{thecarolinabull01}} |
96 | * UnfazedEveryman |
97 | ** [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya Kyon]] ~ [=DalesKaine=] |

99 | * TheUnfettered |
100 | ** [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Rorschach]] ~Zeppelin |
101 | ** [[{{Film/Sicario}} Alejandro/Medellin.]] He fits every single trait to a T in his RoaringRampageOfRevenge, particularly the one about how his code is simply winning; working with the US government to stop the cartel [[spoiler: that killed his wife and daughter]] within the system is fine by him, but so is [[spoiler: ''wanton murder, including [[WouldHurtAChild children.]]'']] ~ @/WickedIcon |
102 | ** [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Yellow Diamond.]] ~ @/{{Monolaf317}} |

104 | ** [[Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls Kyril Sutherland]] is my favourite instance of a ''{{subversion}}'' rather than a straight example. He projects the image of "I'm willing to do anything to win the war" and everything thinks this is true, except that one peek at his inner P.O.V. reveals that he's in fact WillfullyWeak. ~ @/ElRise |
105 | * TheUnfought: |
106 | ** Alex from ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'', for dodging confrontation for '''three''' whole games (One of which was an unplanned sequel!) despite being the BigBad and very much capable of fighting. ~ Excelion |
107 | ** [[Anime/VariableGeo Miranda Jahana]]. After the all the shit she puts Satomi through, you'd think she'd get the chance to settle up with her. Instead, she and Yuka only get to blow up the machine that contains Miranda's spirit. ~ MiinU |
108 | ** [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Ron]]. Six games, and we still never got to get back at him. Though if he does become a boss, [[SNKBoss we better watch out]]. ~ Five-seveN-25 |
109 | ** Shadow & Chaos from ''VideoGame/SonicForces''. You'd think you'd be able to fight them [[NeverTrustATrailer considering all the hype generated from the trailers]]. - @/{{MetalAiAi}} |
110 | * UnfortunateNames |
111 | ** [[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty Mr. Poopy Butthole.]] ~ @/{{Monolaf317}} |
112 | * UngratefulBastard: |
113 | ** The ending to "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderS2E7ZukoAlone Zuko Alone]]". ~ Loekman3 |
114 | ** Lotso at the end of ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3''. ~ Five-seveN-25 |

124 | *** [[PrecociousCrush Totally and completely seconded]] [[CelebCrush for the exact same reason.]] ~ @/{{DarkCyberWolf}} |
125 | ** [[Anime/VariableGeo Satomi Yajima]] is an unruly haired tomboy with a naturally athletic figure and a mole on her left cheek. ~ MiinU |
126 | ** [[IHaveThisFriend As my friend told me]], [[Music/DieAntwoord Yo-Landi]]. ~ Five-seveN-25 |
127 | * UnluckyEverydude |
128 | ** Paging [[Manga/AhMyGoddess Keiichi Morisato]]...Keiichi Morisato... please report to the white courtesy phone. ~ @/WillyFourEyes |
129 | ** While Keiichi gets the hot goddess, poor [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Jean Havoc]] [[spoiler:ends up paralyzed from the waist down]]. Doesn't get more unlucky than that. ~ @/{{Carla}} |
130 | ** '''[[Manga/{{Beelzebub}} Furuichi]]''' - Humble_user |
131 | * UnmovingPlaid: ''Anime/{{Gankutsuou}}'' ~ @/{{Dawnwing}} |

136 | * UnreliableNarrator |
137 | ** ''Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance'' ~@/{{Ialdabaoth}} |

152 | ** [[Series/Castle2009 Richard Castle and Kate Becket]]. ~ @/UncloudedTJ |
153 | ** [[Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler]], so much. ~jadefox |
154 | ** The UST between [[Webcomic/MagickChicks Faith]] and her crush, Tiffany, [[IncompatibleOrientation who's straight.]] At least, ''she was'', until she could [[IfItsYouItsOkay no longer deny]] being attracted to Faith, but the comic ended by leaving their relationship status up in the air. ~ MiinU |
155 | * UnscrupulousHero |
156 | ** [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Vriska Serket]]. ~ @/MisterTulip |
157 | * UnseenNoMore |
158 | ** [[WesternAnimation/EdEddnEddy Eddy's Brother]]. After a decade of infrequent mentions and implications as to what kind of person he is, he finally appears in the climax of TheMovie, being the series' ''only'' character outside of its twelve regulars to properly do so and--in his [[SmallRoleBigImpact brief screentime]]--singlehandedly [[CerebusRetcon recontexualizing]] Eddy's [[BigBrotherWorship idolization of his brother]] and subsequent [[{{Jerkass}} behavior]] throughout the series. ~ @/{{JC100}} |
159 | * UnsettlingGenderReveal |
160 | ** The most triumphant troper example goes to @/TrouserWearingBarbarian. ~ @/{{Cliche}} |
161 | ** [[VisualNovel/{{Clannad}} Kappei Hiiragi]]. Fun to imagine Sunohara [[HoYay in denial]]. ~ @/{{Mapi-chan}}, @/{{neobowman}} |
162 | ** Manga/{{Naruto}} and Haku ~ @/LEXicon712 |
163 | *** seconded. [=DRoy=] is still in denial. |
164 | *** Thirded. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
165 | ** Johnny's reaction to [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear the one and only Bridget himself.]] "I can't believe I just tried to seduce another man..." ~ @/WillyFourEyes |
166 | *** Seconded. ~ @/RayAyanami |
167 | ** ''Theatre/MButterfly'': Why is it that in Chinese opera, female roles are traditionally played by a man? Because only a man knows how a women is "supposed" to behave. ~ @/ManWithoutABody |
168 | ** ''Film/TheCryingGame''. ~ @/MarvelGirl |
169 | ** [[Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman Raita Ooishi]] ~ @/{{Nirao 01}} |

179 | * UnstoppableRage |
180 | ** Do not fuck with Cuchulain. ~ @/ManWithoutABody |
181 | ** ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk ~ sinesofinsanity |
182 | ** If [[Manga/GetterRobo Ryoma Nagare]] is angry, prepare for heads, robots, monsters, demons, gods, planets, dimensions and laws of physics to be broken. SEVERELY. ~ @/DannyVElAcme, @/VPhantom |
183 | ** [[Manga/HajimeNoIppo Takamura]] pulling this trope on Bryan Hawk was by far the greatest use of the trope I have ever seen. ~ @/{{Smokie}} |
184 | ** ''Anime/DragonBallZ:'' Goku's first [[SuperMode Super Saiyan]] transformation after [[spoiler:Krillin]] got killed by Frieza. Holy shit. ~ @/KingClark |
185 | ** [[VideoGame/AsurasWrath Asura]] blows everyone on this section out of the water when it comes to this trope. '''EVERY SINGLE ONE'''. He has so much rage there's no way to kill him. He only comes back angrier each time. ~ @/DemonGodOfChaos2, matteste |
186 | *** Seconded. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
187 | ** [[Literature/{{Discworld}} THAT! IS! NOT! MY! COW!]] ~ spacemonkey37 |
188 | ** [[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers Subaru]] ~ @/{{Gamermaster}} |
189 | ** [[Manga/MakenKi Takeru]] became so angry over [[spoiler: Himegami]]'s heroic sacrifice, that he took it out on Gouken Yamato by [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating him to death.]] Despite Leo's attempts to [[GetAholdOfYourselfMan reason with Takeru]], while trying to pull him away from Gouken's corpse. ~ MiinU |
190 | * UnstoppableMailman |
191 | ** [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} The Peregrine Mendicant.]] ~ @/{{Emerald141}} |

193 | * UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist |
194 | ** [[Series/FawltyTowers Basil Fawlty]] ~ @/ManWithoutABody, Ziggy Zag |
195 | *** Seconded. Basil strikes the absolutely ''perfect'' balance between [[CosmicPlaything a man constantly being screwed over by the universe]], and him [[HoistByHisOwnPetard bringing enough of it on himself]] by being a petty little {{Jerkass}} so as to not make you feel sorry for him. ~ @/ArcaneAzmadi |
196 | ** [[Series/WillandGrace Grace Adler]] -Max1099 |
197 | ** [[Series/MarriedWithChildren Al Bundy]]. ~ @/WillyFourEyes |
198 | ** All five main characters in ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia''. They are perhaps the most greedy, self-centered characters to ever appear on television. And you will laugh all the way. ~Jack5 |
199 | ** UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler in ''Series/HeilHoneyImHome''. ~ @/{{Tokuiten}} |
200 | ** [[Series/CurbYourEnthusiasm Larry David]] ~ @/{{Caiaphasthesympathist}} |

220 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: |
221 | ** [[Series/GameOfThrones Bran Stark]] |
222 | ** [[ComicBook/TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye Brainstorm]]. [[spoiler:In the process of trying to stop him from going back in time and seemingly killing Megatron, his crewmates inadvertently trigger a StableTimeLoop, the most damning consequence of which was tipping off the Senate to Shockwave's activities. Shockwave then gets captured by the Senate and is brainwashed and mutilated into becoming the emotionless scientist he became known for. ''Then'', after a while, Shockwave gets sent back in time and becomes Onyx Prime, in the process shaping much of Cybertronian history in the form of ontological paradoxes (there is a good reason why [[GreaterScopeVillain "Everything is Shockwave's fault"]] became a meme). None of this might have happened had Brainstorm ''not'' decided to go back in time. That was not very simpatico of you, Brainstorm]]. ~ Fireside |
223 | * UpliftedAnimal |
224 | ** The whole point of ''Film/RiseOfThePlanetOfTheApes''. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
225 | * UptightLovesWild |
226 | ** Casey and Derek from ''Series/LifeWithDerek'', and Justin and Alex, from ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'' - the former because of UnfortunateImplications, and the latter because of a SugarWiki/MostTriumphantExample of a RelationshipWritingFumble. |

245 | '''The Operative:''' I do. If I have to. |
246 | * {{Utsuge}} |
247 | ** ''VisualNovel/{{Narcissu}}''. Just ''barely'' counts for the "ge" part of "utsuge," but BOY HOWDY does the "utsu" more than make up for it. ~ [=FourthDerivative=] |
