May Needs a Better Name, Needs More Examples, Propably Needs a Better Description, Rolling Updates

Tom is walking along in the jungle, when suddenly a lion appears in front of him. Tom tries to scare the lion off by growling at him, to which the lion responds by roaring very, very loud. Cue Color Failure on Tom's end, along with propably Bring My Brown Pants, though the latter is never actually shown.

Alternatively, Badass Bob is walking along the jungle, when a lion appears. The lion roars for whatever reason, to which Bob responds by roaring very loud. Cue the lion running away, whining all the way.

Sometimes a third roarer is introduced, often the father of a cub. In that case, the order generally goes: Cub roars/mews, Tom roaring back to tease the cub, father lion roaring back and scaring the crap out of Tom.

Seen It a Million Times, yet can't remember a single one right now.
