I'm writing up a character based on the Memetic Badass and Testosterone Poisoning tropes, and I need a few good (and clever) One Liners to give him. Other things for him to do that befits a Memetic Badass would also help.

To give a little background on the character, he's an Occult Detective Intrepid Reporter who's world is a Conspiracy Kitchen Sink and Fantasy Kitchen Sink of paranormal and supernatural events, goes up frequently against ninjas, pirates, zombies, robots, Nazi's, communists, ghosts, aliens and any combination of them, is an Insufferable Genius and a Jerk with a Heart of Gold who solves problems by punching them in the face... even when they don't have a face.

No, I'm not looking for Chuck Norris type feats. Implausible, but not impossible is my motto.

Examples of the types of one-liners I'm looking for:

Some examples of Memetic Badass actions I've come up with:

  • A duel to the death against two ninjas with flaming chainsaws.
  • Swordfighting The Dragon while on fire atop a truck that's sinking into a pool of lava.
  • Wrestling an anaconda and a gorilla at the same time on a Conveyor Belt of Doom.
  • A mook holds him at gunpoint and demands that he relinquish his weapons. He responds by throwing his gun into the mook's crotch.
  • He meets a few shady people, who try to intimidate him by flashing their guns at him. He responds by flashing his guns back at them, revealing that he is much better armed than they are.
  • He crashes through a door because he doesn't have the patience to find the keys to it (which are very easily found and close by).
  • He gets captured and is frisked by mooks. They pull one gun off of him, followed by another, followed by another, followed by another, followed by another, and so on and so forth. Yes, I know that Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and Pirates Of The Caribbean already did this. I don't care.
  • Punches a shark to death, then cooks it and eats it.

Yes, I know I already have a thread on this, but I wasn't happy with the responses I got (no offense). I'm looking for sarcasm here. The funnier, the better.

Well I'm not a man who likes to make long speeches before I off the villan...so I won't. BANG!

But really, no one can create a memetic badass, the fanbase creates memteic badasses. But you can make a ridiculously over-the-top badass like Axe Cop[1]. Or you can make just a plain old-fasion regular badass.

I'd work to subvert the common memetic lines if you're going for Testosterone Poisoning on purpose. Example:

"I'm hear to kick ass and chew bubble gum." Bear paused for a moment, a bubble of pink expanding from his lips. It popped. "Alright, guess what's next?"

Except more cheesy. (not literally)

^^ I don't like bubblegum. I'm here to kick ass and then kick ass some more.

There are probably endless variations you could come up with. Depending on the setting, it may even be lampshaded.

Here's a few. I could do this all day, but I've run out of time.

  • My therapist said to work *WHAM* out *WHAM* some *WHAM* aggression. Ah, that didn't help.

  • I tried to be nice.
[Goon] No you didn't.
  • Oh. Thought I'd forgotten something.

  • I'm going to teach you a lesson. With the traumatic amnesia, though, you probably won't remember it.

  • I brought a change of underwear for everyone. You'll thank me later.

  • That glassy stare needs a little work.

  • Red [or other bodily fluid] isn't your color.

  • You mean this isn't my Aunt Harriet's sewing circle?

  • Oh, sorry, laser beats scissors, but thanks for playing.

  • Did that hurt? Good.

  • I was looking for trouble. Guess I found some.

  • Better put on your dancing shoes, because we're going to get down.

A good source of one-liners is "Spider-Man." I've probably stolen a few subconsciously.

Under World. It rocks!

My brother once came up with a bit of dialogue that was partially ripped off from Last Action Hero:

  • The hero has a Mook by the shirt
  • H: This is for the insult (slaps the thug)
  • H: This is for trying to kill me (he lightly slaps the thug on the wrist)
  • H: And this is for SPILLING MY BEER!!! (throws the thug through a window)

If you're intentionally aiming for a Memetic Badass, know that there's an even higher chance than usual of you hitting straight into Narm.

Random Bad Guy: "You'd like to quantify me, Officer Starling. You're so ambitious, aren't you? Do you know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. You're a well-scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Your eyes are like cheap birthstones - all surface shine when you stalk some little answer. And you're bright behind them, aren't you? Desperate not to be like your mother. Good nutrition has given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation out of the mines Officer Starling. Is it the West Virginia Starlings or the Okie Starlings, Officer? It was a toss-up between college and the opportunities in the Women's Army Corps, wasn't it? Let me tell you something specific about yourself, Student Starling. Back in your room, you have a string of gold add-a-beads and you feel an ugly little thump when you look at how tacky they are now, isn't that so? All those tedious thank-yous, permitting all that sincere fumbling—"
