Some heroes take so much pride in themselves that they just can't turn a challenge down. To do so would be an affront to their personal honor. It would imply that they don't have the courage to go through with what would happen if they failed. Moreover, by showing that they lack the resolve to go through with the challenge implies that they think they'd lose. And by gosh, no hero of ours is going to be a loser! Inevitably, though, a situation will arise that's so over-the-top that even the most headstrong character is going to think, "Maybe it isn't worth risking my life in a chainsaw-juggling contest just because I accidentally said that guy's hair looks like a mullet". It's here that only one thing has to be said to get the character to go through with the crazy scheme anyway. "What are you? Chicken? Buk-buk!" Of course, this doesn't always end well. Often, insulting a character's courage can end up pushing the Berserk Button, and the opposition will promptly get taken to the cleaners on whatever the bet was. Sometimes this is done deliberately thanks to a tricky mentor to get the hero to do something he is unlikely to do for any other reason. By contrast, things can go very badly if the villain is deliberately manipulating the hero into doing something stupid, using the hero's pride as a means of accomplishment. Expect a great deal of evil laughing as this devious plot unfolds. Sometimes a character doesn't like to be called a Dirty Coward because he actually is one. This can go one of two ways: He might chicken out at the last minute and head for the hills, making him a Miles Gloriosus. Or he might live up to his blustering and win the fight anyway, Becoming the Boast. This can also become a verbal form of Get A Hold Of Yourself Man if it is directed at someone specifically for the purpose of inspiring them to action, or to shake a normally-badass person out of a Heroic BSoD. The Inverted Trope is when the character puts up with being called a chicken because deep down they really aren't one; that's The So-Called Coward. Subtrope of Inspirational Insult. Compare Fearless Fool. Closely related to Game of Chicken, an often foolish challenge to see which player chickens out first. Not to be confused with Cowardice Callout, although the two can overlap. Contrast Blinded by Rage, when this is used to exploit the angered guy's outburst to his detriment. |

Ultimate Spider-Man (2012): In the episode "Run Pig Run," Spider-Man, after being transformed into a pig by Loki and made the target of an Asgardian boar hunt, is hiding in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s helicarrier while his friends and allies. Loki proceeds to taunt him, stating that since Spidey is letting everyone else fight his battles for him, perhaps a chicken was a more appropriate form for him than a pig. Spidey is livid and immediately jumps into the fray. | |

In one occasion where the Stunt Dawgs were contract bound to perform stunts for one of Fungus' movies, he tried to use this trope to make them wear blindfolds during the performance. They said that the contract didn't require them to accept that request and they asked 60 million dollars in exchange for doing it. Fungus made a counter-proposition (half the gross profits) and they accepted it. | |

Ranma ½ has the titular character accept all challenges for a duel, no matter how unreasonable or uneven the stakes because of Ranma's strong sense of pride and unwillingness to let anyone have any excuse to call him a coward. At times this was so irrational that he even accepted things like "cuteness" challenges, where Ranma had to prove that he was the cutest competitor even when he didn't want people to think of him that way at all. Whenever Ranma gets involved in some contest that revolves around proving his "femininity", it's invariably either due to wounded pride or because he's been forced into it. Played with in at least one case. Shampoo tries to egg Akane on by telling her that Ranma will date her if she wins the Martials Arts Takeout Delivery contest, trying to provoke Akane into going all You Know What You Did on him. Several minutes later Shampoo actually tries to make the ridiculous proposal to Ranma and he accepts. Cologne exploits this trait in her first duel with Ranma for the sake of Hustling the Mark: when it seems the young martial artist is whipping the floor with the little old lady, the latter challenges Ranma formally and gets him to agree to marry Shampoo if she wins. Ranma, high on his near-certain victory, agrees, and Cologne immediately beats him into paste. |

Done subtly in Gotham when, after Theo Galavan has his mother killed in front of him and then orders a minion to get rid of him, Penguin dares him to do the deed himself, accusing him of coming from a long line of cowards. Without changing his expression or even betraying that this trope so motivated him, Galavan obliges him... only for Penguin to turn the tables on him and escape to reveal the murderer's true colors to Gordon. | |

He calls Fred chicken shit, then laughs off the bet, but when Fred calls his step father chicken shit, this pushes him into betting all of his horses (including his girlfriends beloved Satin Doll), just because nobody calls him chicken shit. | |

Battle ensues, and Luigi wins. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a Batman Gambit for Dimentio to implant him with a floro sprout so he could then effectively gain the Chaos Heart. | |

World of Warcraft gives players the ability to make their characters emote in front of other players and NPCs. The most notable emote for this trope is aptly named "/chicken."

Ultimate Marvel: Ultimate Spider-Man While Ox had never actually met the Kingpin, Montana told him that he couldn't defeat him, and he shouldn't even joke about it... leading Ox to think this meant he had to fight the Kingpin. Electro calls Spider-Man a "slippery little yutz". Peter is halfway through saying "nobody calls me a yutz" when Electro drops him. Ultimate Vision: Tarleton tries to manipulate the Vision with this. It doesn't work. She has no problem admitting that she is afraid of Gah Lak Tus. |

Star Trek: First Contact: When Picard starts going full-on Captain Ahab against the Borg, everyone tells him the sensible idea is to just blow up the Enterprise with the Borg on it, including Worf, who actually calls Picard on his obsession. Picard calls Worf a coward, and he snarls that if Picard were any other man, he'd kill him where he stands. | |

He says Shazam to turn back into little Billy Batson. Black Adam calls him a fool and prepares to kill him, but Billy calls him a coward for not taking his challenge. Enraged, Black Adam says "Shazam" to depower himself, which is what Billy was counting on. Since Black Adam was kept alive for centuries by his powers, he rapidly ages into dust. | |

Back to the Future: This trope is named for the line in Back to the Future Part II and Part III, where Marty is shown to be easily provoked whenever someone questions/challenges his courage. While this initially works well, pushing Marty's Berserk Button and allowing him to outmaneuver several future bullies, we also see past, present and future scenarios where this proud attitude causes very bad portents for him, with risk of job loss, crippling physical injury, and death all as possible results. This is a reference to Rebel Without a Cause, where it's such a Berserk Button that it ends up getting people killed. Marty seemed to have learned his lesson in the third movie but he still fell victim to the trope in the animated series. One of the reasons Marty learned better was because he met his great-great-grandfather Seamus, who had a brother named Martin, who was stabbed in a foolish fight because someone called him a coward. This character trait is notably absent in the first film. Fridge Logic suggests he may have been subtly affected by the changes he made to the past (either by witnessing the events or by somehow merging into/with the version of himself from the new timeline), specifically his parents getting together because his scrawny teenaged dad rescued his mom from a much larger and physically tougher would-be-rapist. The Marty of the second and third films may be trying to live up to that heroic moment and trying to prove his own "courage" whenever it is challenged/questioned. The novelization took the point a bit further; as Needles peels out and Marty backs away, Jennifer ask him what's going on. Marty replies, "He's nobody," referring to Needles. |

In A Song of Ice and Fire, Brienne uses this tactic to save Jaime Lannister's life after he loses his right hand. Jaime's pretty much hoping to die at that point, and doing everything he can to bring it about, until she accuses him of being too cowardly to live with what's happened. It actually works, because while people have been calling him a murderer and a traitor behind his back for decades, no one has ever called him a coward before — and he's not about to let them start now. | |

The titular character of Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple has a big case of this. He's not a huge fan of violence and fighting in general, almost to the point of pacifism, but the biggest way to get him to fight you (aside from threatening his Love Interest Miu) is to call him a chicken or a coward, at which point he will turn around and give you a massive ass-kicking. | |

One Piece: Ace falls prey to this whenever anyone badmouths Whitebeard or threatens his little brother. Indeed, his original purpose in the series is to hunt down Blackbeard after his "insult" of killing a fellow crewmember. This trait tends to go poorly for Ace though as he always gets defeated/captured/hurt whenever this trope takes effect (we even learn after the fact that Ace's battle against Blackbeard was an example of this as Ace couldn't leave Blackbeard alone even if he wanted to due to both the threat he posed to Luffy and the insult to Whitebeard that would occur if he had abandoned the battle. He loses this battle horribly and gets captured as a result). Finally, in what is the most apt example of this trope, Ace, after having just been freed from execution in Marineford, gets goaded into a fight with Admiral Akainu via the latter purposely insulting Whitebeard. Then, to make matters worse, Akainu invokes Ace's Big Brother Instinct by suddenly attacking his little brother, resulting in Ace taking the punch for Luffy. "Going badly" understates the result of this as Ace dies from this even though he's in a series well known for its fluid mortality. This trope is also the crux of the character interaction between Luffy, Eustass Kid, and Trafalgar Law. Whenever one of the three insinuates the other two of their lack of courage, they're sure to step up to the challenge, however stupid. Right from when they first met, their initial team-up against the Marines came out of Kid suggesting he was "rescuing" the other two. |

In The California Kid, Lyle asks out Sissy, a girl who's more interested in cars than the boys who drive them. Sissy won't go out with him unless he's willing to drive her places, but Lyle isn't willing because he doesn't have his driver's license yet. Sissy says, "Me and Tom used to go out when he had his learner's. But if you're scared or something..." Lyle caves and agrees to take her out in his brother's car. While they're driving, she goads him to go faster so they can spend more time at Make-Out Point. The sheriff deals with their traffic violation in his usual manner: by running them off the road, killing Lyle and badly injuring Sissy. | |

Fire & Blood: At the very start of the Dance of the Dragons, Prince Aemond runs into Prince Lucerys while they've both acting as diplomatic envoys to Boros Baratheon. Aemond wants to get revenge for Lucerys cutting his eye out as a kid, while Lucerys would rather just deliver his message and go (Boros doesn't care either way, just so long as they don't do it under his roof). As Lucerys leaves, Boros' daughter Maris taunts Aemond by asking if he lost an eye or his balls, setting Aemond into a rage. He chases Lucerys down and effortlessly kills him, solidifying the Dance into all-out war. | |

When Scootaloo refuses to show her the right way to call a chicken... Scootaloo actually being (or at least literally treated like) a chicken quickly became a common recurring joke in the fandom. In "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000", it's shown that Granny Smith hates being called a chicken. And in "Pinkie Pride", guest star Cheese Sandwich takes offense to being called "boneless". |

A dark examples of comes from The Wire in the form of Marlo Stanfield. Marlo is an ice cold, almost emotionless criminal kingpin who clearly has zero morals and no regard for the lives of anyone. The one exception to his inhuman coldness is any threat to his street reputation; a rumor that you spoke ill about him can get you and your entire family brutally murdered, and when Omar attempts to take on Marlo's empire, Omar publicly challenges and disrespects Marlo in an attempt to get Marlo to make a rash action that Omar can take advantage of. Marlo's faction know this about their boss as well as anybody, so his inner circle makes sure that Omar's challenge never gets back to Marlo. When Marlo finally learns about this after Omar is dead, he is absolutely volcanic with fury about his name and street reputation being undermined by the fact that Omar was able to taunt and challenge him while it appeared to the street like Marlo did nothing in response. | |

Vegeta in Dragon Ball Z is goaded by Cell into sparing him just long enough for Cell to become powerful enough that they can have a "fair fight". Vegeta even beats up the other characters who try to stop him. Needless to say, this doesn't end well. | |

A funning gag in Housepets! is the appearance of a random chicken, called "what chicken" in the cast listing, that appears during or after chicken puns, which includes usages of this trope. | |

The Ikaris uses this to put the plot into motion. The gang finds Misato's beer stash and Asuka dares Shinji to drink. Then he dares her to try and out-drink him. By the end of it, the two are so blasted, they got married and forgot about it the next morning. | |

In Eyeshield 21, after Leonard Apollo arrogantly cancels the Japan vs. America football match between the Deimon Devil Bats and the Nasa Aliens, Hiruma baits him into going through with it by making a viral video that, among other indignities, depicts Apollo as a chicken. | |

Played with in West Side Story, where repeatedly calling Tony "chicken" is how Bernardo goads Riff into striking the first blow in the rumble which ends with Bernardo killing Riff and Tony killing Bernardo. | |
