| - Basic Trope: A character screams the word "No!" at length when faced with a crisis or tragedy.
* Straight: Bob yells "Nooo!" when he sees the villain stab Alice, his girlfriend.
* Exaggerated:
* Bob runs towards Alice in slow-motion, arm outstretched, with his yell of "Nooo!" both artificially deepened and lengthened for dramatic effect.
* Optionally coupled with weird facial contortions. Huge potential for Squick (or Narm) here.
* Or alternately, it last for several scenes!
* Downplayed: Bob utters a intense, but shorter "NO!" when he sees Alice get stabbed.
* Justified:
* Bob is shocked and wants to do something, but can't.
* Bob is over-dramatic.
* Inverted: Bob yells "YEEEEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!" as he sees Alice get stabbed.
* Subverted:
* Bob

* Bob is over-dramatic.
* Inverted: Bob yells "YEEEEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!" as he sees Alice get stabbed.
* Subverted:
* Bob looks like he's about shout "No!", but gets cut-off before he can.
* Bob yells No, but ends in -pe, thereby making it, Nope.
* Double Subverted: Once the distraction is dealt with, Bob is free to shout "No!"
* Parodied:
* Bob's yell of "Nooo!" is so long, he's obligated to take a deep breath during it before continuing.
* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ten minutes later OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
* Bob stares blankly for ten seconds before suddenly shouting "Nooo!!!"
* Bob is prompted to scream "Nooo!" by the most minor and trivial of problems.
*
* The screen splits into ten panes, each of which has Bob screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" in unison.
* Deconstructed:
* Bob's Big No blows his cover, sending the villain and possibly passer-by Danny straight for him. Bob may also become hoarse from shouting.
* Everyone looks at Bob, who now feels incredibly awkward.
* Reconstructed: Bob's Big No causes him to be spotted by the villain, but Bob still manages to escape.
* Zig Zagged: Some of the characters get a Heroic BSOD when something bad happens, others scream the Big No. Naturally, if there is more than one battle, the people will switch which reaction they have.
* Averted: Bob says nothing during moments of tragedy and crisis.
* Enforced:
* "This is a dramatic moment, people! Bob, I want you to yell "No!" as loud and as long as you can!"
* A Large Ham is hired to play the part of Bob.
* Lampshaded:
* "... that was the biggest 'No' I ever heard."
* "You sound like a character from a crappy B-movie with that 'NOOOOO!!!'"
* Invoked: Bob actively makes sure he's got everyone's attention before screaming "Nooo!"
* Exploited: Bob purposely yells loudly to distract the guards.
* Defied: Danny punches Bob out if it even looks like he's going to scream "Nooo!"
* Discussed: Danny demands why Bob had to go and shout something stupid sounding like that, this isn't some TV Drama. Bob retorts that it certainly was dramatic enough to be in a TV show.
* Conversed: Danny says "Oh my god, that sounded like that one scene from that show I was watching!" Back to Big No? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
