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.

There could be several reasons you think an example is the best.
* You think it's the best in terms of illustrating the trope.
* You think it's the most well done.
* It's your favorite play in that trope.
* You just really like the source material.

Oh, several things before you list examples:
* Each troper gets one example per trope, no more.
* Don't go "no, this is," or phrases like that. This is about our own personal favorites.
* '''Sign your entries.'''

!!Please list tropes alphabetically.

** [[VideoGame/TonyHawksUnderground Eric Sparrow]] ~ @/CyberTiger88
** [[Series/{{Victorious}} Ryder Daniels]]. - excaruso

** [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Porky]] ''[[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 freakin']]'' [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Minch.]] ~ Mistermister
*** [[VideoGame/{{MOTHER3}} Seconded.]] ~ @/ZettaToad
*** Just think about it this way; he is ''way'' worse in jerkiness than Cartman. (And we're talking abut a character that has barely any dialogue in the two games he appeared in.) This guy just gets [[MoralEventHorizon under your skin]] by the time ''VideoGame/{{MOTHER 3}}'' rolls in...and everything about his character ''just'' '''gets''' ''''worse''''. ~ @/PerfectSq

** [[WesternAnimation/{{Archer}} Edie Poovy.]] While Cartman does have moments where he's not this and Wario is PlayedForLaughs, in a show where most of the characters are a JerkAss Edie stands out as being nothing short of evil, callous even by the show's standards.

** [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaPhantomHourglass Linebeck]], naturally. ~ @/{{deeman45}}, @/ZettaToad
** [[Anime/PrincessTutu Fakir]] fits this trope so well. He acts jerkish in the start of the show... but then you really get to see the true part of his personality. ~Rosebrook

** The AudienceAlienatingEra of ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' has too many instances to count. ~ @/MetalAiAi

** [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Stain]] in his final moments was able to make everyone, including (at the time) second rank Pro-Hero, Endeavor, freeze up in abject horror through sheer force of will alone.

** [[VideoGame/MineCraft Steve?]] can steal anything that isn't alive if he has the right tool for mining it. ~ @/{{Trogdor}}
** The [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Blood]] [[VideoGame/DawnOfWar Ravens]]. How else can you explain having the first bolter ever wielded by the current Ultramarines Chapter Master, a hammer forged by the Daemon Primarch of the Emperor's Children, and suits of armor nicked from the Alpha Legion, Grey Knights, and even the ''Adeptus freaking Custodes'' all in your Chapter armory?

* KnightOfCerebus
** [[Literature/DateALive Kurumi Tokisaki and Sir Issac Ray Peram Wescott]].

* KnightTemplarParent
** [[Series/OnceUponATime Rumpelstiltskin]]. Let's review: Became a demon with immense dark magic to protect his son. Used said dark magic against anyone who even accidentally injured his son. Instituted a ''three-hundred year long'' BatmanGambit to travel to another world to find said son when they got separated (which resulted in the world he was currently in being ripped apart.)

-->The phrase "in the dark," as I'm sure you know, can refer not only to one's shadowy surroundings, but also to the shadowy secrets of which one might be unaware. Every day, the sun goes down over all these secrets, and so everyone is in the dark in one way or another. If you're sunbathing in a park, for instance, but you do not know that a locked cabinet is buried fifty feet beneath your blanket, then you are in the dark even though you're not actually in the dark, whereas if you are on a midnight hike, knowing full well that several ballerinas are following close behind you, then you are not in the dark even if you are in fact in the dark. Of course, it is quite possible to be in the dark in the dark, as well as to be not in the dark not in the dark, but there are so many secrets in the world that it is likely that you are always in the dark about one thing or another, although the sun can go down so quickly that you may be in the dark about being in the dark in the dark, only to look around you and find yourself no longer in the dark about being in the dark nonetheless, not only because of the dark, but because of the ballerinas in the dark, who are not in the dark about the dark, but also not in the dark about the locket cabinet, and you may be in the dark about the ballerinas digging up the locked cabinet in the dark, [[MindScrew even though you are no longer in the dark about being in the dark, and so you are in fact in the dark about being in the dark, even though you are not in the dark about being in the dark,]] [[OverlyLongGag so you may fall into the hole the ballerinas have dug, which is dark, in the dark, in the park.]]
