Line #15 PlayingWith/ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne


1	'''Basic Trope''': A character reacts strongly to the last point, which is often the weakest.
2	* '''Straight''': Danny accuses Steve of [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech stealing Alice's car, attempting to run over Bob with it, and]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking littering.]] Steve says "How DARE you, Danny?! I'd NEVER litter!"
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Danny accuses Steve of being a mass murderer, attempting to blow up the world, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking jaywalking]]. Steve then starts screaming like a maniac and yelling at Danny that he wouldn't ever jaywalk.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Danny accuses Steve of littering, jaywalking, and leaving the toilet seat up. Steve says that he'd never leave the toilet seat up.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** The last point was Steve's BerserkButton.
7	** Littering was accidental. Steve is [[CardCarryingVillain proud of his misdeeds]], but would never admit to making a mistake, even a small one.
8	** The last one actually ''is'' worse than the others for Steve, due to his BlueAndOrangeMorality. For example, the theft and attempted murder were acts of revenge and therefore justified, from his point of view, but littering is a horrendous crime in his culture.
9	** [[NotMeThisTime Steve didn't actually litter]]. While he is fine with being called out on what he actually did, he abhors being blamed for things he didn't do.
10	** EveryoneHasStandards. Steve's is being ecologically aware. He is not okay with people thinking he would be so petty as help ruin Mother Earth.
11	** It's not what Steve did. It's how Danny presented it. He probably would be less willing to punch Danny's face over being accused of jaywalking if Danny had not [[SuddenlyShouting yelled about it]] and [[LargeHam acted]] like ''that'' was [[FauxHorrific the thing that evidenced he is some kind of monster]].
12	* '''Inverted''':
13	** Steve reacts to the strongest point.
14	** Steve reacts to all the points except the last/weakest one.
15	** Danny presents all of the other evil deeds Steve did in a matter-of-fact barrage of words, but places [[FauxHorrific such a tremendously loud emphasis on Steve's jaywalking]] that Steve ''has'' to show offense.
16	* '''Subverted''': Danny says "Steve, you've stolen Alice's car, attempted to run over Bob, and littered at the park." Steve doesn't react.
17	* '''Double Subverted''': "Oh, I'm not done! You've also jaywalked this morning!" Steve says "I'd NEVER jaywalk, Danny!" as a response.
18	* '''Parodied''':
19	** Steve always and only reacts to the last point, even if the list are exactly the same with the orders rearranged.
20	** Following Exaggeration: [[IResembleThatRemark Steve angrily walks on the road after being labelled a jaywalker, while also muttering his anger and hatred towards zebra lines]].
21	* '''Zig Zagged''': Sometimes Steve reacts to the last point, sometimes he doesn't.
22	* '''Averted''': Steve doesn't react to the last point.
23	* '''Enforced''': RuleOfFunny
24	* '''Lampshaded''': [[DeadpanSnarker "Good thing to see that your priorities are straight."]]
25	* '''Invoked''': Danny knows that accusing Steve of things like jaywalking and littering [[BerserkButton will anger him,]] so he puts an accusation of littering into his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
26	* '''Exploited''': Steve knows that Danny will accuse him of anything and everything to try to rile him up or [[JusticeByOtherLegalMeans get him in trouble]], so he tries to perform RefugeInAudacity by acting upset about the thing Danny was not expecting him to get upset about.
27	* '''Defied''': Steve calms himself down before reacting.
28	* '''Discussed''': ???
29	* '''Conversed''': "I wonder why Steve reacted like that."
30	* '''Implied''': Upon being accused of littering, the smug smirk leaves Steve's face.
