Never My Fault
Calvin's Dad: CALVIN, YOU DIDN'T GET DESSERT YESTERDAY BECAUSE YOU FLOODED THE HOUSE!!
9/10. A great case of call-and-response, with the response itself being exaggeratedly effective. (And considering how the comic strips section is filled with nothing but Calvin quotes, it's hard for me to see why he's considered Unintentionally Sympathetic by many)
Unintentionally Unsympathetic Orcus on His Throne will always be my pet peeve.
9/10 and the reason why I don't understand why people love Akechi. Some people don't know a bad villain when they see one, and it kinda miffs me that he got brought back for Royal... but that's a rant for another day.
The Only One Allowed to Defeat You
Edited by Allora on May 1st 2025 at 9:15:10 AM
I dunno why, but I've got a bad feeling about things...Armor-Piercing Response
Josh: I'm not mad at you. I'm done.
Drake: What is that supposed to mean?
Josh: I don't want anything to do with you anymore.
Drake: So what, are you gonna move out?
Josh: No. This is a house where I live and I guess we'll be roommates until the day I leave for college, but that's all we'll be is roommates. I'm done with you.
9.5/10. Holy hell, that's a devastating comeback. If anyone ever told me that, I feel like my heart would sink.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech — Western Animation Orcus on His Throne will always be my pet peeve.
Quagmire: Ok, I'll tell ya. You are the worst person I know. You constantly hit on your best friend's wife. The man pays for your food and rescued you from certain death, and this is how you repay him? And to add insult to injury, you defecate all over his yard. (getting angrier) And you're such a sponge. You pay for nothing. You always say, "Ooh, I'll get you later," but later never comes! And what really bothers me is you pretend that you're this deep guy that loves women for their souls, when all you do is date bimbos. Yeah, I date women for their bodies, but at least I'm honest about it! I don't buy them a copy of The Catcher in the Rye and then lecture them with some seventh-grade interpretation about how Holden Caulfield was some profound intellectual. He wasn't! He was a spoiled brat! And that's why you like him so much: he's you! God, you're pretentious! (brimming with indignation) And you delude yourself by thinking you're a great writer, even though you're terrible! You know, I shoulda known Cheryl Tiegs didn't write me that note. She woulda known there's no "A" in the word "definite"! And what I think I hate most about you is your textbook liberal agenda. How we should, (mockingly) "Legalize pot, man," how big business is crushing the underclass; how homelessness is the biggest tragedy in America! Well what have you done to help?! I work down at the soup kitchen, Brian! Never seen you down there! You wanna help? Grab a ladle! And by the way, driving a Prius doesn't make you Jesus Christ! Oh, wait! You don't believe in Jesus Christ, or any religion, for that matter, because (mockingly) "religion is for idiots"! Well, who the hell are you to talk down to anyone?! You failed college twice, which isn't nearly as bad as your failure as a father — how's that son of yours you never see? But you know what? I could forgive all of that... all of it... if you weren't such a bore! That's the worst of it, Brian. You're just a big, sad, alcoholic bore! (sighs) Well, see ya', Brian. Thanks for the fucking steak.
10/10, I'm so happy this entire speech has been immortalized on this page, complete with cited examples of all the shit he did within the series.
The legend has returned.Andros: What did you expect?

I dunno why, but I've got a bad feeling about things...
Honor Before Reason
Zach: Timmy, you don't have to do this!
Timmy: No, no! No! It wouldn't be right to back out now. The other guys took their turn in good faith that we would take ours! I'm not gonna dishonor their memory, or the game, by not following through. (Timmy shoots himself)
9/10. You have to be a real idiot to place honor before your life in a Deadly Game.

Here There Were Dragons Orcus on His Throne will always be my pet peeve.
Spyro: Yeah! Name's Spyro.
Sheila: Never thought I'd see one! You dragons used to rule this entire world, y'know. Then all of a sudden, you left... poof!
Spyro: Dragons used to live here?
Sheila: Didn't you know? They say it was over a thousand years ago, I think.
Spyro: And they just left?
Sheila: Yeah! And the weird thing is, after they left, all the magic in the world just sort of went with 'em. I mean, they say this world use to have magic coming out the wazoo! Flying ships, singing forests, wishing stones... you name it! But when the dragons left, it all just dried up.
Spyro: Is that why some of the portals don't work...
Sheila: Yeah, they're starting to fade out too, one by one.

Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse
Edited by Mattman_the_Storyteller on May 8th 2025 at 6:09:13 AM
Doofenshmirtz-2: True evil is born though pain and loss. You see, when I was a small boy back in Gimmelshtump, I had a toy train...and one day I lost it.
[long beat]
Doof-1: That...that's it?
Doof-2: What do you mean?
Doof-1: That's your emotionally scarring backstory? That's your great tragedy?! Dude, I was raised by ocelots, I mean literally! Disowned by my parents and raised by Central American wildcats, and you're telling me you lost a toy train? That's all? That's all you got, really?! I had to work as a lawn gnome, I was forced to wear hand-me-up girl's clothing, neither of my parents showed up for my birth!
9.25/10. Less bloated than most examples, but also a funny way to get the point across.
Anger Born of Worry Orcus on His Throne will always be my pet peeve.
Tadashi: We're sorry...
Hiro: We love you Aunt Cass...

"The Reason You Suck" Speech — Web Animation Orcus on His Throne will always be my pet peeve.
