* Wrestlemania 7 featured a Retirement match between [[Wrestling/RandySavage "Macho Man" Randy Savage]] and Wrestling/UltimateWarrior. Color commentator Bobby "The Brain" Heenan pointed out something very strange about The Warrior's entrance: he was ''walking''. The fact that Warrior eschewed his usual crazed full speed bolt towards the ring for a much more composed gait helped to underscore how much higher the stakes were for this match.

The fact that Warrior eschewed his usual crazed full speed bolt towards the ring for a much more composed gait helped to underscore how much higher the stakes were for this match. [[note]]The other reason he walked to the ring is that he had a habit of getting "blown up" ([[UsefulNotes/ProfessionalWrestlingJargon wrestling-speak]] for getting completely out of breath because you overexerted yourself) '''during his entrance'''. This usually didn't matter since most Warrior matches were [[SquashMatch only a couple minutes long]], however the match with Savage went 20, so some cardio management was needed. Like a lot of Savage matches it was also planned out move for move and rehearsed for weeks beforehand, unsurprisingly this is considered by far and away to be Warrior's best match and one of only two Warrior matches that was any good at all, the other being his match with Wrestling/HulkHogan at the previous ''[=WrestleMania=]'' (which was also totally choreographed, something that's actually really rare in wrestling)[[/note]]

* ''Roleplay/WeAreAllPokemonTrainers'' has moments of this ''in spades'':
** Kimberly Bond is normally a rather stoic, composed individual, with just about the only thing that can cause her to freak out under normal circumstances being any incredibly cute Pokemon (with Galvantula being her absolute kryptonite in this regard). So whenever she has a moment of NotSoStoic, in any capacity, everyone around her sits up and takes notice (barring her moments of excitability in earlier posts, which can all be chocked up to EarlyInstallmentWeirdness and CharacterizationMarchesOn).
*** Her first major moment of this in the RP occurred during the Battle of the Bands, after her first experience with Colton Kendall Rever's Legendary Facepalm. Her closest friends had all been blown away by the shockwave from said facepalm, and Kim, not knowing where her friends were and not knowing just how powerful said facepalm was, slowly got more and more panicked as she called out for them in desperation, wanting to know where everyone had gone. Ultimately, it also led to another moment of this trope for her: her screaming out "[[YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious COLTON!]]" in desperation, as Kim usually goes on a LastNameBasis with people she isn't particularly close with. [[note]] This was prior to Kendall's SignificantNameShift to a MiddleNameBasis. [[/note]]
*** Later on, when she actively began taking on the Gyms in Galar, a major moment of this sprung up for her in Stow-on-Side. During a text conversation with [[{{Keet}} 9-Volt]], Kendall's Galvantula, a month after New Year's in mid-February of 2021, Kimberly Bond vented about her feelings of [[IJustWantToBeSpecial jealousy and inferiority]] towards Kendall, Kamui, Ian, and Evelyn for their abilities to speak Japanese, Ian and Evelyn's psychic powers, and Kendall's [[ImmuneToMindControl Mind of Crystal]]. At the end of it all, she admitted her immense amount of guilt regarding said feelings, and is so guilty about it that she starts ''flat-out sobbing in the middle of the stadium.''
*** During the 2021 J-Team meeting, Kim had two of these moments in one go, within a few minutes of each other. Upon hearing about Ian's [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown involvement]] [[StopHittingYourself with]] [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the events of the Fanatic battle,]] Kim ''flipped out'' on him, hitting him with a massive WhatTheHellHero declaration and directly asking him WhatWereYouThinking. It caused Ian to burst into tears of remorse because of it, and multiple members of the J-Team, including Kendall, trying to get her to calm down. Soon afterwards, however, when Pentigan (who had directly called the events that would transpire) suggests they break up the J-Team because of it, Kim believes it wholeheartedly, and ends up having a massive ''panic attack'' in the middle of the halls of the Stormchaser.
*** Her biggest OOCISB moment of the RP period, however, involves ''everything'' regarding her reaction to [[Franchise/{{Saw}} Jigsaw]]. On Halloween night in 2021, Kimberly Bond and all of her Pokemon enter a haunted house where Jigsaw tries to torture them. While he doesn't get far with the Pokemon, he successfully creates illusions of Kimberly Bond's closest friends and allies berating her for all of her mistakes as she translates [=UBese=] text, telling her that she is not special, that she has no friends, that nobody likes her, etc. Kim, while desperately trying to keep her composure, eventually [[LaughingMad breaks]] [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere completely]], starts bursting into tears of fear, shame, and horror, and ''begs'' to be let out of the J-Team to the point where she sends a text to the J-Team saying point-blank that she no longer considers herself a member. Ian and Evelyn immediately recognize it as majorly out of character for her, given her desire to join the J-Team in the first place, and run off to the haunted house to help. While most of the Jigsaw head illusions are defeated, the one of 9-Volt remains, and during Kim's battle against Kendall in the Galar League, as she faces off against 9-Volt, Jigsaw takes the opportunity, lets loose with a [[RedEyesTakeWarning red-eyed]] [[EvilDoppelganger Vincent Atrear]] [[note]] the name of 9-Volt's human form [[/note]], and causes Kim such immense pain that it ultimately causes her to FaintInShock ''on live television--'' with ''millions'', including Kendall, Ian, Evelyn, and Braker, watching.

* Yankees first baseman Creator/LouGehrig never missed a game ever since the day he filled in for Wally Pipp; not even injury stopped him from at least getting in an inning as a pinch hitter. So when he had his manager bench him for one game in 1939, it was a sign something was wrong, confirmed by an ALS diagnosis a short time later.
* Former Pittsburgh Steeler wide receiver Hines Ward was notorious for ''always'' smiling on the field and sidelines. Dropped a pass (a rare event for him), smile and shake it off. Hospitalize someone with a block? Smile and wave the medics over. When he lost a fumble in easy field goal range in the final minutes of a tied game against the Tennessee Titans by trying to stretch for extra yards, thereby costing the Steelers a sure chance to win the game in regulation, and allowing the Titans to take a knee and take the game to overtime, he was visibly pissed off with himself on the sidelines. The television commentators noted that he must have been ''really'' mad to stop smiling.
* You knew Joe Theismann's career-ending injury was serious when every single player on both teams, including crazy tough, crazy fearless linebacker Lawrence Taylor, who actually made the hit, were SCREAMING for medical attention. [[NauseaFuel It was]].
* Years before this, Detroit Lions wide receiver Chuck Hughes collapsed on the field while returning to the huddle after a play late in a 1971 game against the Chicago Bears, clutching his chest. Bears linebacking legend Dick Butkus, who was nearby, immediately screamed for medical attention. Sadly, Hughes was pronounced dead within minutes; an autopsy revealed that he had suffered a massive heart attack and had most likely died on the field.
* An example of this may have been the turning point for the [[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague 1994 San Francisco 49ers]]. During the 3rd quarter of their 5th game of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles (which the Eagles [[CurbStompBattle won 40-8]]), 49ers head coach George Seifert decided to pull battered starting quarterback Steve Young from the game in order to avoid risking injury in a lost cause. However, upon doing so, the normally even-tempered Young blew up at Seifert, a move which earned the respect of many of his teammates. In the end, the 49ers lost only one other game the rest of the season[[note]]the final game of the regular-season, and the 49ers had rested their starters for that game[[/note]]; with Young taking the final steps [[OvershadowedByAwesome out of predecessor Joe Montana's shadow]] (Young had succeeded Montana as 49ers quarterback in 1991 due to Montana being sidelined with [[GlassCannon a number of injuries]]) by not only leading the 49ers to [[UsefulNotes/SuperBowl Super Bowl XXIX]] but breaking Montana's single-game touchdown pass record by throwing for 6 touchdown passes in the 49ers' 49-26 rout of the San Diego Chargers.

Then came her Film Fox review of ''The Literature/{{Twilight}} Film/{{Twilight}} Saga: New Moon'', where she's in complete distress with no escape throughout and screams more than once.

* ''WesternAnimation/MickeysOnceUponAChristmas'': The short "Stuck on Christmas" has two examples:
** After Huey, Dewey and Louie get fed up of celebrating ChristmasEveryDay after wishing for it, they decide to sabotage their family's Christmas celebration. While the boys expect Donald to scream his head off, fly into a rage, and/or punish them for it, [[HeroicBSOD he instead despondently lies on the floor, showing guilt for his actions]]. This, along with reading a Christmas card from him and Daisy, is what makes the boys [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realize that they took it too far]].
** After this, Huey, Dewey and Louie decide to make the next day the best Christmas they can by making breakfast, giving their relatives kisses (which they previously objected to), helping Daisy with setting the table, and joining in with singing carols with Uncle Scrooge. Donald suspects that they are up to something, and they give him a surprise - [[spoiler:a wooden boat made out of the sleds that they received as presents]].

** In [[https://garfield.dale.ro/garfield-1981-january-4.html one strip]], Garfield feels like being nice to everyone. Everyone is so freaked out that they have him tied in a straitjacket and committed.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheTiggerMovie'':
** Tigger spends much of the movie feeling incredibly sad about not having a family. Even his uniqueness, one of the things he most proud of, makes him realize that he's the only tigger. Needless to say, this makes Roo want to make Tigger feel better as soon as possible.
** When Tigger finds out the others pretended to be his family, he vents a very uncharacteristic moment of TranquilFury before storming off, making it obvious to the others they've hurt him in a very big way.
** Roo himself usually can surpass Tigger as the wood's {{Keet}}. After his BigBrotherMentor turns his back on him however, he spends most of the climax very morose, when not outright crying.
** At the film's climax, Rabbit demands that Tigger come home and "forget this 'other tiggers' nonsense". Tigger usually takes Rabbit's scoldings in stride, but he's so fixated on finding his real family and offended by Rabbit's words that he outright snaps at him, making it clear that he's going to disobey him. This also applies to Rabbit, who normally hates being confronted or disobeyed, but is cowed by Tigger's refusal.

* BreakingPointSwearing (OOC if the trope applies because the swear was unusual for the ''character'', but not an example if it was just unusual for the ''work'')



* PrecisionFStrike (OOC if the trope applies because the swear was unusual for the ''character'', but not an example if it was just unusual for the ''work'')



* In ''Podcast/GospelsOfTheFlood'', the narrator is impressively polite, which only makes his BreakingPointSwearing when he reveals the truth about [[spoiler: John]] more jarring.
