  • You Can't Handle the Parody
rdfs:comment
  • You want this trope's definition? You can't handle this trope's definition! We've all heard this phrase used a million times in a million different ways. Sometimes it's the exact phrase, but more often than not the writer will twist it in some way, just a bit, to impart a little comedy while not compromising the actual quote - like replacing "truth" for "tooth". Or maybe "trope". A Stock Parody. See also A Few Good Men. Examples of You Can't Handle the Parody include:

Sometimes it's the exact phrase, but more often than not the writer will twist it in some way, just a bit, to impart a little comedy while not compromising the actual quote - like replacing "truth" for "tooth". Or maybe "trope". The phrase itself comes from the famous rant by Jack Nicholson's character at the end of A Few Good Men. Thanks to Popcultural Osmosis, and particularly this trope, this phrase has become more well known than the actual movie (which is by no means an "unknown" film, nor an unmemorable one).
