Basic Trope: A character exaggerates their emotions to a humorous degree.
- Straight: Charlie realizes that he forgot to push in his chair. He has a humorously-exaggerated Freak Out.
- Exaggerated: Upon finding out that he forgot to push in his chair, Charlie gets so upset that he promptly destroys the entire world. This is played for Black Comedy.
- Downplayed: Charlie just does a Big "NO!" and/or a Skyward Scream.
- Justified:
- Charlie really does think that forgetting to push in your chair is a major offense, and he's upset that he did it.
- Alice asked Charlie to push in his chair - he's upset because he thinks that Alice is mad at him.
- Charlie is a Large Ham to begin with.
- Charlie's Berserk Button was pressed.
- Inverted:
- Charlie is The Comically Serious, and his underreacting is played for laughs.
- Charlie has Dull Surprise to something that's serious.
- Narm - the scene where Charlie reacts strongly to something is supposed to be serious, but it comes off as accidentally funny because he reacted a little too strongly to the situation.
- Subverted: ???
- Double Subverted: ???
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: ???

- "Comedy is often about comically exaggerating things, how about we show someone Chewing the Scenery over a minor inconvenience?"
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: Alice tells Charlie to push in his chair. He doesn't personally think he needs to, so he starts mocking Alice by acting like it's the worst thing that's happened to him.
