Not every character fights like the Knight in Shining Armor. Dirty fighting is a staple of many genres. Its regular appearance can mark a work as more serious, 'gritty' and realistic (not to mention Darker and Edgier). Could also be known as "Villain Pulls A Dick Move." That the contents within are Truth in Television goes without saying. The trope's name comes from Ridin' by Chamillionaire (and not, as you might suppose, White and Nerdy by "Weird Al" Yankovic). For dirty fighting without the actual fighting, see Dirty Social Tricks.
