| Is That the Best You Can Do? |
comment |
Stock phrase: "Is that the best you can do?" or "Is that the best you got?" Optional responses include "Not even close" (if the first speaker's been beaten to a pulp), "I'm just getting warmed up" (usually just before a devastating attack or counterattack), or "Unfortunately, yes..." (if the first speaker doesn't even have their hair mussed). Often said defiantly, only rarely despairingly. Usually said by a person that abides by The Law of Diminishing Defensive Effort. If it's followed up by Now It's My Turn, you better hope you have your legal affairs in order. See also Punch! Punch! Punch! Uh Oh... and No-Sell for situations where this is most often said.

Occurs frequently in Bleach, both from bad guys to good guys and good guys to bad guys: "Is that all you've got?" Generally indicates that the loser is in dire shape, but somehow they will still triumph in the end. |

In The Two Towers, with the defenders holding Helm's Deep, Theoden asks "Is this it? Is this all you can conjure, Saruman?" Cut to some Uruks laying bombs in a drain in the wall, detonating them shortly after and successfully blowing a hole in the wall. In fairness, given the look on Theoden's face, he didn't seem to know gunpowder even existed. |

In The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World, Spectrem angrily attacks Paul in an effort to force him to fight back. But the Nigh-Invulnerable, Actual Pacifist Paul isn't harmed in the slightest (though he's irked), and he says, “Right, if this is the best you can do, I rather doubt you'll be able to do anything to me. You can spend all day at this if you like, but nothing's gonna change, so you may as well quit now and save yourself a bit of frustration.� |

Farscape. Used for comedy in "Revenging Angel" when Aeryn finds herself in Crichton's imagination as a cartoon character in a revealing nightrobe. His response to this trope is to redraw her as Jessica Rabbit, which she doesn't find impressive either. |

The Incredible Hulk (2008): "Mere" Super-Soldier Emil Blonsky to the Incredible Hulk. Hulk responds by launching him into a tree with one kick, breaking most of his bones. After Blonsky becomes the Abomination, however, this is his reaction to the Hulk whaling on him with police-car-boxing gloves and punching him full-on in the face. |

Man of Steel. Played for Dramatic Irony when a flashback shows a gang of school bullies trying to provoke Clark Kent into fighting them, with the leader taunting, "Is that it? It that all you've got?" After they leave, we see Clark has bent a steel pole with the effort of not showing them even a fraction of what he's got. |

Le Petit Spirou has the village priest get roped into a prizefight, reassured by the carny that it's fixed: Langelusse just has to say "Hit me harder, you wimp, I didn't feel a thing!" and the carny will stop the fight. Unfortunately, he then gets distracted, leaving Langelusse to keep taunting the wrestler and getting several different kinds of crap beaten out of him. |

Jack in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds makes this kind of statement when he believes he has won the duel against his opponent. This trope gets combined with Tempting Fate for him during his duel with Kiryu when he thinks he's won (to be fair, he just managed to wipe out Kiryu's Life Points to 0 at that point, which normally ends the duel... except, this time, Kiryu has a duel combo strategy that lets him continue to duel even with his Life Points reduced to 0). |
