This is simply what you think is the (not some of the, '''''the''''') best example of any objective trope (so no YMMV or Trivia as they are not tropes proper and the former is already subjective) The "Crowning Example" if you will.
There could be several reasons you think an example is the best.
* You think it's the best in terms of illustrating the trope.
* You think it's the most well done.
* It's your favorite play in that trope.
* You just really like the source material.
Oh, several things before you list examples:
* Each troper gets one example per trope, no more.
* Don't go "no, this is," or phrases like that. This is about our own personal favorites.
* '''Sign your entries.'''

** ''Series/TheYoungOnes'' -- Astfgl
* NeglectfulPrecursors
** Between [[DangerousDeviceDisposalDebacle abandoning superweapons and dangerous experiments]] all throughout multiple galaxies without leaving so much as a warning, accidentally creating multiple galaxy-endangering threats, utterly failing to clean up the messes they caused (with Earthlings doing in a few years what they failed to do in centuries), refusing to interfere with mortal affairs after [[AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascending]] even to deal with the problems that they caused to begin with, forcing their non-interference rules onto anyone within their plane that's trying to help, and generally being incompetent, self-righteous hypocrites, the Ancients from the Franchise/StargateVerse are so unbelievably neglectful that it borders on abusive. There's a reason they have an entire folder dedicated to them on the NeglectfulPrecursors trope page. ~mystery_kcad
* NerdsAreSexy
** [[VideoGame/LifeIsStrange Max Caulfield]], freckle faced, shy, socially awkward... with wide hips, a bubble but, and ''legs''. None of which has gone unnoticed by [[BreakoutCharacter her fans]] judging by the sheer amount of [[Rule34 H-art and H-vids]] dedicated to her. ~ @/MiinU
* NerfArm
** [[Webcomic/PennyArcade The Cardboard Tube Samurai]] ~josh6243
* NetworkDecay
** Creator/CartoonNetwork with its [=CNReal=]. Seriously, go look at the NetworkDecay page, there's a whole ''section'' devoted to how horrifically they did this trope. ~ @/{{Carls493}}, Gundamforce
** Creator/{{MTV}} Networks is the all-time champion of this. Its namesake (and sibling [=VH1=]) have abandoned music videos for SnarkBait reality shows, CMT, once standing for Country Music Television, now shows game shows and FollowTheLeader reality shows that were on {{Creator/FOX}} five years ago, TV Land has started to dump shows from the 50s and 60s to add more recent reruns and reality shows, and The Nashville Network was retooled into The National Network and later Creator/SpikeTV. The only networks under their banner that haven't appeared to veer wildly off-course are {{Creator/Nickelodeon}} and Creator/ComedyCentral. ~ @/AnonymousUser, @/WillyFourEyes, @/TheRedRedKroovy, @/{{Carla}}, @/DoctorRayman
** Since the two other obvious choices are already taken, I'm nominating the History Channel; once a haven for historical documentaries, they randomly decided to only show the ones related to Hitler before following the normal cable network trend of only airing marathons of reality shows and {{DocuSoap}}s. It's such a fall from grace that it's even the current page image! ~ [=WoodKnapp94=]
* NeverBringAKnifeToAGunfight
** ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' ~ Tropers/DecafGrub47393
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye
** [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Sui-Féng's]] backstory in a nutshell and the reason she once tried to kill [[SexyMentor her "goddess", Yoruichi]]. ~ @/MiinU
* NeverMessWithGranny
** This section just has to be added specifically for [[Manga/YuYuHakusho Genkai]]. Being 70+ years old or giving up a good chunk of her power to Yusuke never stopped her from kicking all kinds of ass. ~El_Superbeast
** Granny, from ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' ~ @/ManWithoutABody, @/DoctorRayman, Tropers/DecafGrub47393
** [[Film/TheMist Irene]] ~ @/{{Kazzy}}

* NewAbilityAddiction
** Ben relying on only Feedback to the total exclusion of his other, more useful transformations in ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse''. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
* NewEraSpeech
** [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/AceCombatZeroTheBelkanWar A World With No Boundaries]]'s]] speech, Crazy Anarchists + LargeHam + [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Crowning BGM]], sure they're villains, but the delivery of their speech is awesome! ~ @/NotJMKeynes
** Colossus' "voice of world control" speech in ''Film/ColossusTheForbinProject''. ~ erforce
** Magneto in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' ~ @/DoctorRayman
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands

* NiceGuy
** [[Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood Fred Rogers]]. ~ {{archon}}
** [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends Wilt]]. ~ @/{{iansimsjam}}
** [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger Steve Rogers]].
** [[VideoGame/MegaManLegends Mega Man Volnutt]]. Quite possibly one of the kindest protagonists in any video game, especially any Mega Man game in general. And that's why he's my favorite Mega Man protagonist. ~ xxbiasonxxx
** ComicBook/{{Superman}}. ~ @/DoctorRayman
** [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Carrot Ironfoundersson]].
** [[Manga/FruitsBasket Tohru Honda]] ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
** [[VideoGame/FatalFury Terry Bogard]] even asks, [[GratuitousEnglish "R U OKAY?!"]] before he nukes you into the stratosphere. ~ @/MiinU
* NiceJobBreakingItHero
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime''. Trying to keep the BigBad ''away'' from the mystical shiny and instead basically holding the door for him...need I say more? ~ @/ProgenyExMachina
** [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Pandora]] ~ @/{{Carla}}
** ''Anime/{{Bleach}}'': [[spoiler: [[InsistentTerminology Captain]] Hitsugaya Toshiro stabbing his childhood friend and possible love interest [[TheWoobie Hinamori Momo]] in the [[TearJerker heart]].]] --ncfan
** [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Bumblebee]] to simultaneously get an enemy spy started on his way to being head of intelligence, but also to send an innocent man (well, machine) to the stockade, where he spent the next fifty-plus years slowly becoming insane and vengeful before breaking out to come after Bumblebee for revenge. (Both of those situations, incidentally, [[FromBadToWorse manage to get worse.]]) [[SarcasmMode Way to go, bee.]] ~ @/{{Scrounge}}
** [[WesternAnimation/MegasXLR Coop]] --Marlee Cross
** ''Anime/CodeGeass'': [[spoiler: The Euphinator. C'mon, you all know what I'm talking about here.]] But in all fairness, Lelouch '''did''' just realize that his [[MindControl Geass]] became permanent. ~ XanderJacatipon
** ''Series/{{Flashpoint}}'' ~ @/MattP5557
** ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9''. ~ Five-seveN-25
* NiceJobFixingItVillain
** [[Film/InglouriousBasterds Col. Hans Landa]] ~ @/ManWithoutABody
** [[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} Hades]]. He robbed Hercules of his divinity in the first five minutes of the movie, then spent the next 88 minutes of it unknowingly helping him recover it. ~ @/{{Carla}}
** [[ComicBook/TheSandman First Despair]] talked Rao into creating life on an inherently unstable world with the ultimate aim of creating a single being to mourn and despair like never before. This plan ended up in ComicBook/{{Superman}} - a hero who manages to inspire hope even in universes where he does not exist. ~ Canonier
** [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Scar]]. He has Simba cornered during the final battle, so Scar decided it was a good time to tell Simba that he killed his father. [[BerserkButton Way]] [[YouKilledMyFather to]] [[KarmicDeath think]] [[SarcasmMode Scar.]] ~ @/CyberTiger88
** Thanks for [[spoiler:saving the Dovahkiin, your mortal enemy, from their execution]], [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Alduin]]. ~ foxmccloud4387
** [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gollum]]'s attempt to take the One Ring resulted in its destruction. ~ @/{{Lophotrochozoa}}
** ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' has a lot of this since criminals have to make mistakes to get caught. The best example is probably [[spoiler:Matt Engarde, who would have kept Phoenix in a MortonsFork situation where he basically had to get Engarde off the hook if he hadn't taken the highly stupid and highly unnecessary step of recording Juan Corrida's assassination without Shelly De Killer's knowledge.]] Third game also has 2 straight cases where culprits slip up and give testimony that proves they were the ones who murdered the victim of the case. ~ stupidskeleton

** ComicBook/{{Batman}} doing this to ComicBook/TheJoker in ''ComicBook/BatmanHush''. ~ @/DoctorRayman
** There's a lot of these in ''Franchise/JojosBizarreAdventure'', but the most notable include Johnathon's beatdown of Dio, as well as Jotaro and Giorno's beatdown of Steely Dan and Cioccolata respectively. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller

* NoWomansLand
** The setting of ''TabletopGame/{{FATAL}}'' is a CrapsackWorld where half of all males are rapists, and women have much worse stats than men. Why I chose this over [[Literature/TheHandmaidsTale Gilead]] is that the world of FATAL reflects the author's misogynistic worldview. ~ Tropers/DecafGrub47393
* NobleDemon
** Rubicante from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV''. He'd definitely be LawfulNeutral if he weren't working under Golbez. - @/WillyFourEyes

** [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Jessie]]. ~ @/DoctorRayman
** [[Franchise/StreetFighter Karin Kanzuki]]. ~ Five-seveN-25
* NoFourthWall
** Creator/MelBrooks - every film and every show he produced made it clear that the "4th Wall" was nonexistent. The characters were always acutely aware that they were just characters and [[GenreSavvy regularly abused plot convention]] to their advantage for the sake of humor. ''Film/SpaceBalls'' had the villains literally watch a VHS copy of the movie itself to find out where the heroes were hiding, ''Film/RobinhoodMenInTights'' had Robin read directly from the film's script to find out what to do next when he lost an archery contest, and ''Film/BlazingSaddles'' used numerous 4th Wall gags and finally ended with characters actually leaving the film set! ~ @/MiinU
** ''Webcomic/OneOverZero''. ~ @/RobinZimm
** ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} would visit Website/TVTropes and add ''himself'' to this list if he had the time, but he's too busy kicking ass and being awesome in his own comic book. ~ @/{{Carla}}

** ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'' ~ spacemonkey37
** ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' ~ [=HotelCalifornia=]
** ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''. Actually, there are several... ~ @/InsanityPrelude
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}''. Other than the famous carwash scene, we have a couple other gems like "Now the animators will have to draw all this fire!", Chowder realizing they're just a cartoon, Gazpacho asking Chowder to "go back to how it started" (which takes us to the start of the episode), and Gazpacho's comment on the CN logo in the corner. ~ Tropers/MagnusForce

On his quest to rescue Sanoma Tora, he sees Tavia, a slave girl, in trouble and saves her. After that, 1. he sees beautiful women and thinks Tavias is more beautiful than they, and then wonders why he didn't think of Sanoma; 2. he is betrayed into the hands of his enemy, and the traitor has to be either Sanoma or Tavia, and when he learns it was Sanoma, his reaction is overwhelming gratitude that it was not Tavia; 3. he taunts Sanoma with having lost his love, because he has found another, and not a princess but a slave girl; and 4. another character, who had overheard the last, said he was obviously talking about Tavia -- and he still denies it! -- Goldfritha

An AU where Katniss didn't go to the 74th Games and Peeta was the Victor on his own, Peeta returns to District 12 and 'buys' her in exchange for taking care of her poor and starving family. Despite the fact that the world knows Peeta has a girl in District 12 that he loves in secret (he still admitted it in a public interview, although didn't name Katniss), despite the fact that in the arena he kept the handkerchief she gave him as a token of strength and comfort to the point that everyone assumed he got it from his love (although admittedly she doesn't recognise it), despite the fact that he's famous and rich and yet still hasn't hooked up with this girl, despite the fact that he didn't actually ''deny'' her mother's suggestion that he wants to marry her, despite the fact that he is more generous to her family than she could have dreamed, despite the fact that he treats her like a queen, she still insists on wondering why he's doing all this for someone as insignificant as her and thinks he only wants her for either a domestic servant or a bedwarmer!

* OvershadowedByAwesome
** ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''. Has the tenth most number of volumes of any manga ''period'', features an enormous cast of colorful, clever characters, and the manga-ka has done artwork featured in the Louvre, yet it didn't even receive a proper anime adaptation until ''25 years'' after its debut, in a time where manga that's been out for six months can receive basically the same.

* NeglectfulPrecursors
** Between [[DangerousDeviceDisposalDebacle abandoning superweapons and dangerous experiments]] all throughout multiple galaxies without leaving so much as a warning, accidentally creating multiple galaxy-endangering threats, utterly failing to clean up the messes they caused (with Earthlings doing in a few years what they failed to do in centuries), refusing to interfere with mortal affairs after [[AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascending]] even to deal with the problems that they caused to begin with, forcing their non-interference rules onto anyone within their plane that's trying to help, and generally being incompetent, self-righteous hypocrites, the Ancients from the Franchise/StargateVerse are so unbelievably neglectful that it borders on abusive. There's a reason they have an entire folder dedicated to them on the NeglectfulPrecursors trope page. ~mystery_kcad

** [[VideoGame/LifeIsStrange Max Caulfield]], freckle faced, shy, socially awkward... with wide hips, a bubble but, and ''legs''. None of which has gone unnoticed by [[BreakoutCharacter her fans]] judging by the sheer amount of [[Rule34 H-art and H-vids]] dedicated to her. ~ @/MiinU

* NetworkDecay
** Creator/CartoonNetwork with its [=CNReal=]. Seriously, go look at the NetworkDecay page, there's a whole ''section'' devoted to how horrifically they did this trope. ~ @/{{Carls493}}, Gundamforce
** Creator/{{MTV}} Networks is the all-time champion of this. Its namesake (and sibling [=VH1=]) have abandoned music videos for SnarkBait reality shows, CMT, once standing for Country Music Television, now shows game shows and FollowTheLeader reality shows that were on {{Creator/FOX}} five years ago, TV Land has started to dump shows from the 50s and 60s to add more recent reruns and reality shows, and The Nashville Network was retooled into The National Network and later Creator/SpikeTV. The only networks under their banner that haven't appeared to veer wildly off-course are {{Creator/Nickelodeon}} and Creator/ComedyCentral. ~ @/AnonymousUser, @/WillyFourEyes, @/TheRedRedKroovy, @/{{Carla}}, @/DoctorRayman
** Since the two other obvious choices are already taken, I'm nominating the History Channel; once a haven for historical documentaries, they randomly decided to only show the ones related to Hitler before following the normal cable network trend of only airing marathons of reality shows and {{DocuSoap}}s. It's such a fall from grace that it's even the current page image! ~ [=WoodKnapp94=]

On his quest to rescue Sanoma Tora, he sees Tavia, a slave girl, in trouble and saves her. After that, 1. he sees beautiful women and thinks Tavias is more beautiful than they, and then wonders why he didn't think of Sanoma; 2. he is betrayed into the hands of his enemy, and the traitor has to be either Sanoma or Tavia, and when he learns it was Sanoma, his reaction is overwhelming gratitude that it was not Tavia; 3. he taunts Sanoma with having lost his love, because he has found another, and not a princess but a slave girl; and 4. another character, who had overheard the last, said he was obviously talking about Tavia -- and he still denies it! -- Goldfritha

An AU where Katniss didn't go to the 74th Games and Peeta was the Victor on his own, Peeta returns to District 12 and 'buys' her in exchange for taking care of her poor and starving family. Despite the fact that the world knows Peeta has a girl in District 12 that he loves in secret (he still admitted it in a public interview, although didn't name Katniss), despite the fact that in the arena he kept the handkerchief she gave him as a token of strength and comfort to the point that everyone assumed he got it from his love (although admittedly she doesn't recognise it), despite the fact that he's famous and rich and yet still hasn't hooked up with this girl, despite the fact that he didn't actually ''deny'' her mother's suggestion that he wants to marry her, despite the fact that he is more generous to her family than she could have dreamed, despite the fact that he treats her like a queen, she still insists on wondering why he's doing all this for someone as insignificant as her and thinks he only wants her for either a domestic servant or a bedwarmer! She takes ObliviousToLove so far that it borders on TooDumbToLive and it's actually pretty comical. - @/ArcaneAzmadi

* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame
** If there's such a thing as a Most Triumphant Aversion, ''Literature/ArtemisFowl'' is probably it. ~ @/Emerald141
** Creator/TerryPratchett's ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'', which started out playing the trope straight almost to the point of satire, but then {{Deconstruct|ion}}ed it by asking what happens to the dwarfs who ''don't'' like wearing chainmail everywhere, working in a mine, drinking beer and singing about gold? ~@/ArcaneAzmadi
* OurMonstersAreWeird
** ''VideoGame/TalesOfLegendia''. Has any other game made you fight [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jorlp9V5_BA demonic canopy beds]]? As more than just a one-off novelty fight? Didn't think so. ~ @/{{Timber}}
* OurOgresAreHungrier
** ''VideoGame/PuzzleQuest'' has the hungriest ogre of all, Drong. He has a series of side quests, all revolving around getting him different things to eat. Things such as [[MasochistsMeal poisonous spiders]], [[ImAHumanitarian another ogre]], [[ExtremeOmnivore diamonds and LAVA and the body of a slain god]].
* OurVampiresAreDifferent
** ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga''. Do I even need to explain? ~ szaleniec
** ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''. They [[{{Reconstruction}} reconstructed]] vampires without making them sissy and/or unrecognizable. ~ @/TromboneChild

* OurGiantsAreBigger
** The [[HumanoidAbomination Titans]] in Manga/AttackOnTitan. They more or less embody everything that makes [[PrimalFear giants and predators scary]] while being uniquely [[UncannyValley disturbing]] and [[BizarreAlienBiology bizarre]]. For the 'size' aspect of the trope, the [[{{Kaiju}} Colossal Titan]] makes all the other Titans look like rodents by comparison. ~ @/GiantOfTheVanguard

* OutOfCharacterMoment

* OvershadowedByAwesome
** ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''. Has the tenth most number of volumes of any manga ''period'', features an enormous cast of colorful, clever characters, and the manga-ka has done artwork featured in the Louvre, yet it didn't even receive a proper anime adaptation until ''25 years'' after its debut, in a time where manga that's been out for six months can receive basically the same. But, when you come out on the coattails of [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar those other]] [[Manga/DragonBall two big]] Shounen action series of the '80s, then you're fighting a losing battle when it comes to popularity and influence. ~ @/KingOfTheMimeSwing
** [[Anime/DragonBallZ Krillin]]. He was the former TropeNamer for a reason. I mean, there are ''superhero universes'' that he'd be the strongest hero in for frick's sake!
