- Downplayed:
- Bob utters an intense, but shorter "NO!" when he sees Alice get stabbed.
- Bob gives a quiet Little "No" in despair and disbelief after Alice dies.
- Bob sees Evulz stab Alice, but gives off a Blunt "No" because he's seen this trick before. Evulz is using an illusion to try and break his spirit.
- Justified:

- Inverted:
- Bob says "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."

- Subverted:
- Bob looks like he's about shout "No!", but gets cut off before he can.
- "Nooooo....pe!"

- Bob starts screaming "Nooo!" to the sky. A few seconds after he starts, a choir shows up out of nowhere and joins him.
- Bob yelling “Nooo!” is used as an Overly Long Gag.
- Zig-Zagged: Some of the characters get a Heroic BSoD when something bad happens, others scream the Big "NO!". Naturally, if there is more than one battle, the people will switch which reaction they have.
- Averted: Bob says nothing during moments of tragedy and crisis.
- Enforced: "This is a dramatic moment, people! There must be a loud 'No'!"

- Defied:
- Charles, Bob's friend punches Bob out if it even looks like he's going to scream "Nooo!"
- Bob realizes that the circumstances would make shouting dangerous. So instead he uses body language to convey his feelings.
- Discussed: "Oh no, Alice is killed! Will Bob shout a loud 'No' like that shitty movie I watched?"
- Conversed: "Oh my god, that sounded like that one scene from that show I was watching!"
- Implied: In a silent film, Bob reacts to Alice's murder with a Skyward Scream. Evulz responds by stabbing Alice again.
