It is almost an official duty of an Action Hero to deliver sardonic one-liners. And what better time to produce one than just before the execution of the other official duty - kicking ass? * A form of comic subversion in which the one-liner is stupid or silly. This has the potential to stall or confuse the opponent. * A form of comic subversion in which the outcome of the intended ass-kicking fizzles, negating the one-liner or at least failing to justify it. * A Catch Phrase or Battle Cry that may have started as a one-liner, or may work as one to some degree.
