A trope about us!
When do we want it?
Now!
Listen up, TV Tropes! I can't believe you guys forgot about me, the slogan-yelling megaphone guy, the most important part of any large public demonstration! How are people supposed to know what we're mad about? Wave signs around? That's lame! Noise is where it's at, the louder the better!
In fictional depictions, the audio quality is inversely proportional to how funny the scene is, so if it's a comedy, the guy standing next to me will always end up with busted eardrums since I'm answering his questions through the megaphone, but when I'm addressing the audience at large, expect a lot of— loud pitched squeals—and don't forget— no sound comes out for whatever reason! smacks the megaphone a few times
For extra attention, we can stand on a soapbox during our rally, so we're louder and taller!
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Often leads to a Megaphone Gag.
Start listing some examples, folks! This trope isn't about to write itself, you know!

Actually mostly averted in Night Watch. Reg does shout "You can take our lives but you'll never take our freedom!" just before he gets killed, but most of the "rebels" are just ordinary people trying to keep themselves safe behind their barricade. They do come up with "Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably-Priced Love, and a Hard-Boiled Egg" but nobody shouts it.

In one Wonder Woman (1987) storyline, there are rival demonstrations for and against Diana's book Reflections, which Moral Guardians are claiming promotes paganism and homosexuality. The anti crowd are chanting "Hey ho, hey ho, the Amazon has got to go!", while the pro group have the more elaborate "2 4 6 8, Amazons preach love not hate! 8 4 6 2, you can't tell us what to do! 3 5 7 9, you mind your kids, I'll mind mine!"

The Most Unwanted Song features a spoken word interval that sounds like it was recorded through a megaphone that consists of a woman saying some politically charged but difficult to understand words about America.

In the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Squid on Strike", Squidward invokes this trope by doing a strike, shouting with a megaphone and such, in front of the Krusty Krab to attract citizens. Unfortunately, it fails, because the people are too hungry for a Krabby Patty to notice.

Not a protest, but in Spaceballs Dark Helmet orders his troops via megaphone to (literally) comb the desert. Colonel Sanders questions the wisdom of this, only to get a loud "WHAT?" through said megaphone.
