1 | '''Basic Trope''': Person's BalloonBelly gets so big they pop. |
2 | * '''Straight''': After [[BigBad Emperor Evulz's]] death, [[TheDragon Violet]] commits suicide by inflating herself via inhalation and slicing herself open with a sword, causing a LudicrousGibs explosion. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
4 | ** Violet inflates to the size of a three story building before exploding and [[LudicrousGibs coating the nearby countryside with]] HighPressureBlood. |
5 | ** Violet literally swells up like a balloon, [[AllBalloonsHaveHelium rises to the occasion]] and pops, with no blood, guts, or even ''skin'' left over. |
6 | * '''Downplayed''': BalloonBelly. |
7 | ** Only a single part of Violet's body swells up and pops, but not all of her, and she's injured but fine. |
8 | * '''Averted''': Violet doesn't explode. |
9 | * '''Parodied''': A TV commercial for the resturant [[AdventureDuo Jack and Charlie]] work at is made to help bring in customers. Said commercial homages the infamous [[Film/MontyPythonsTheMeaningOfLife Mr. Creosote sketch]] by depicting a man gorging himself at the restaurant until messily bursting, splattering patrons with the contents of his stomach. [[NauseaFuel Understandly it doesn't help]]. |
10 | * '''Discussed''': |
11 | --> ''' Bob''': Dude, did she just blow up like a balloon and explode?\ |
12 | ''' Alice''': Well, [[BondOneLiner she always did have a inflated opinion of herself]].\ |
13 | |
14 | * '''Played For Laughs''': After defeating Violet, [[TheHeart Alice]] stabs her in the back, which somehow causes her to inflate to enormous proportions until she explodes. It's bloodless, but as weird as it sounds. |
15 | * '''Played For Drama''': Violet's explosion is [[NauseaFuel incredible graphic and shows everything in grotesque detail]]. |
