Curse double posting! Ignore this.

Is there a category for deadpan badass. That is, when someone does something incredibly badass and accompanies it with a calm, casual remark to show how simple this is for them.
The example that brought this question to mind is from Sanderson's Mistborn: After their superdestructive fight and just before Kelsier chops of the inquisitor's head with an axe, he says simply, "I'm glad you talked me into this."
So, is there a name for this, should there be a name for this? It's not badass boast, and that's the closest category I've seen.
