A character having just delivered an awesome speech or performance will emphasize just how awesome it was by purposefully toppling a microphone stand or dropping the microphone from shoulder level height just before leaving the stage. Since this is a showy, arrogant gesture, comedy is frequently wrought by having self-effacing or rule-conscious characters do it. Expect a wide range of audience reaction, from ShowStopper rapturous applause to ChirpingCrickets silence. This action is often, but not always accompanied, by using the stock phrase, "<Name> out."

* This is common for people to do after just doing some sort of musical performance, often rapping or rock/metal singing, or after some kind of angry speech. What makes it interesting is that they will always hold the mic up and out before dropping it, rather than just letting it go from holding it at their mouth. This is because it's a signal to the person running the mic's audio; when he or she sees the person holding the mic like that, he or she cuts the mic's audio so that it doesn't cause unbearable noise from the speakers when it hits the ground.
