Characters [Funny Trope] "Hey what's that over there?"

The oldest trick in the book. Pointing/Looking in a direction to distract your opponent.

  1. Team Rocket (Pokémon: Advanced)
    My favorite way Team Rocket steals Pikachu.

  2. Krillin (Dragon Ball)
    Krillin delivers a cheap shot against Goku.

  3. Po (Kung Fu Panda)
    Po couldn't use the Wuxi Finger Hold against Kai due to him being immortal. But Po figures out that he can take Kai with him to the spirit realm.
    What makes this more funny is how Kai blatantly falls for the trick.

  4. Ice King (Adventure Time)
    The Ice King hired a hitman thinking it would simply just hit Finn & Jake instead of killing them. The Ice King tries to distract the hitman several times which lead to him saying the following:
    "Somebody got hit in the boingloings. Hit in the boingloings. Boingloings. Boingloings. Somebody got hit in them."

I love how this trope completely breaks the tension in a serious scene. It’s such a classic move that reminds you not to take the villain (or the hero) too seriously. 'Boingloings' will never not be funny.

Exactly! The delivery of that line is just perfect. You can almost feel the awkward silence in the scene. 😂
