An insult or slight has been issued. Perhaps by The Bully, or a Commander Contrarian. They could be going after the Butt-Monkey, a pariah, the Token Evil Teammate, or The Friend Nobody Likes. They might also be trying to Break the Cutie. The subject of the offending remark is either not responding themselves, or the slight was spoken out of their presence, and they are unaware of it. However, someone else heard, and they're less than pleased by it. As such, they speak up for the maligned person, either pointing out the flaw in the first person's arguments against them or by pointing out the other person's good qualities which have been overlooked. This can take the form of solid arguments against whatever accusations have been leveled, such as a charge of cowardice, or flat-out turning the insults back on those who cast them with a sharp retort or a witty comeback. Their reason for coming to another's defense will vary. They could be Fire-Forged Friends or Love Interests, they might have been the subject of such bullying or harassment in the past and are giving the support they wish they'd had, or maybe paying forward a kindness they themselves received in the past. Whatever the reason, expect them to be the final word on the subject. To qualify as this trope, it must be the result of something negative or disparaging said about the person who is now being defended or the direct result of witnessing physical bullying. Merely speaking about someone's good qualities or speaking ill of another person's enemies does not count. Closely related to Helping Another Save Face, though in this case, it is not about embarrassment as it is about someone's worth and dignity deserving respect. If the defense is successful, it can lead to a Heel Realization or Jerkass Realization. If several people were involved in the tormenting, it can also lead to Shaming the Mob. It may overlap with "The Reason You Suck" Speech, but a more kindly defender could focus on building up the maligned person rather than tearing down the detractors. If the person who was insulted believes those insults, then the defense could double as You Are Better Than You Think You Are. If the person delivering the response is feeling particularly unforgiving, they may delve into Break Them by Talking. It may involve a Somber Backstory Revelation. See also Kirk Summation, Hannibal Lecture, Shut Up, Hannibal!, and Shut Up, Kirk!. May overlap with All of the Other Reindeer. |

Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Story: Matilda gets pissed at Brom after he sabotaged Ichabod's trial out of jealousy, pointing out how he's just being a bully again. This leads to Brom's Heel Realization (done in the form of a Back to the Future Shout-Out, where he realizes he's been more of a Biff than a Marty). | |

Scrubs: Played for laughs twice over in one scene. Dr. Kelso tells the others that what's best for the hospital and the patients is often one and the same thing, but Dr. Cox will disagree with it just because Kelso said it. J.D. speaks up, defending Cox, saying he doesn't believe it's the case. However, Kelso proves his point very quickly by making several claims, such as the coffee is great today, which Cox immediately refutes. The clincher is when Kelso rightfully calls Doug Murphy "an incompetent suck-up." Cox immediately comes to Doug's defense, "No, Bob. In fact, he's one of the finest young doctors I've ever had the good fortune of working with." | |

Princess Tutu: In "Swan Lake", Kraehe blames Ahiru for all of the pain and conflict now occurring due to her returning the shards of Mytho's heart to him, setting the story of The Prince and the Raven back into motion. Fakir, who would have once agreed with Kraehe, defends Tutu — Mytho himself wants the shards of his heart back, and Fakir stands behind him and Tutu. And when Kraehe pressures Tutu to confess her love to Mytho in order to free him, which would make her vanish, Fakir steps in and tells her to Take a Third Option. | |

Evita: In "She is a Diamond", Juan Peron defends his wife Eva against the criticisms of the military officers, who say she is a distracting bauble who doesn't deserve all the attention she's been getting (especially since she's a woman in late 40s-early 50s Argentina). He points out she's been out connecting to the common folk and has managed to do quite a bit with what unofficial power she holds, and that they shouldn't take pleasure in her growing illness. Subverted when the officers point out that she's been instrumental to HIS success, not theirs. | |

Inter Nos: Swordsman Masashi Takeda has become intrigued by Shizuru's new bodyguard, Natsuki, and mistakes her for a slave, at which point he offers to buy Natsuki from her. Shizuru, who is herself in love with Natsuki, and also knows that she is the last Princess of an ancient dynastic line, is affronted on Natsuki's behalf, pointing out to Tadeda that there is nothing slavish in Natsuki's demeanor or standing, and that he has gravely insulted the woman's dignitas. | |

The Sandlot: After the other Sandlot boys laugh at Scotty Smalls for his terrible baseball skills, Benny points out that Yeah-Yeah is one to talk, since he "runs like a duck", but is still part of the team. "So, how come [Scotty] don't get to be?" Adult Scotty's narration indicates he wouldn't have made a single friend in his new neighborhood if Benny hadn't given him a chance to learn how to play that summer. | |

M*A*S*H: "Rally Round the Flagg, Boys" Winchester, though no fan of Hawkeye, defends him from accusations of being a spy. "Run for the Money". Maj. Winchester hears several soldiers mocking and taunting a young man, Pvt. Palmer, for his stutter, calling him "dummy" and "idiot" and such. Winchester, with absolute venom in his voice, informs the others that if they say another unkind word to Palmer, he will put them all on report. Winchester has a private conversation with Palmer later, telling him that he's reviewed his record and found that he's quite intelligent, and cites several famous people who stuttered. And he even lends one of his treasured books to Palmer. Winchester then returns to his tent to listen to a recorded letter from his beloved sister Honoria, whom we learn as we listen to the tapes also has a stutter. |

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: As a young boy, Phoenix was accused of stealing lunch money from his classmate Edgeworth. When the entire class ganged up on him demanding he confess to the deed, Edgeworth intervened to defend Phoenix, as did fellow classmate Larry Butz. Their actions, coupled with Edgeworth's later mysterious career choice as a criminal prosecutor, prompted Phoenix to pursue a career as a defense attorney in the hope of crossing paths with Edgeworth and figuring out what had led him down the path he took. | |

Don't Hug Me I'm Scared: The song the main trio sings together at the end of "Friendship" is interrupted when Yellow Guy trips and breaks the computer Colin gifted them for Computer Day at the beginning of the episode, to which Duck responds by calling Yellow Guy an idiot. Red Guy immediately comes to Yellow Guy's defense by telling Duck that he shouldn't talk to him in the insulting way he did (especially since he had promised to stop doing so beforehand). However, he quickly turns against Yellow Guy when the latter hits Duck with a bottle, triggering a fight between the three that carries only in sound and dialogue over the episode's ending credits. | |

The Bible (King James Version). John 8:1-11, reads "At dawn, Jesus appeared in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman is an adulteress. The Law of Moses commands us to stone such women." They were using this question as a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone at her." Then Jesus continued to write on the ground. At this, those who heard began leave, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus stood and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Is there no one to condemn you?" "No one, sir," she replied. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared, "Go and sin no more." | |

They pair off back at the Lt.'s apartment and when Forrest's "date" gets frisky with him, he pushes her away. She starts insulting him and asks, "Are you stupid or somethin'?" Then the other girl joins in, too. Taylor explodes, yelling, "Don't you EVER call him stupid!" and throws both girls out. Forrest realizes that Lt. Dan defended him because, having been called a cripple himself, he knows what it's like to be put down for something he has no control over. | |

Leverage: "The Juror Number Six Job": Everyone is cross with Parker for going rogue on missions, and to teach her a lesson, Nate forces her to go on Jury Duty when one of her aliases is called up. She discovers something untoward is happening during the trial, and tries to tell Nate, who is brusque and dismissive of her. Hardison points out that his Nana, a Jehovah's Witness, would put him and a suit and tie and tell him, "Alec, you need to talk to people." He reminds Nate that Parker never had that, never learned to socialize, and that as such, she's terrified of everyday interactions with people. He asks Nate to cut Parker some slack, and Nate has Eliot tag along with Parker, where he's forced to admit she was right, and the jury is being rigged. | |

Before leaving the room, Grissom pointedly responds, "By the way, the definition of the word 'retard' is to hinder or to hold someone back. I think your life is about to become retarded." | |

When Kaigaku dismisses the unconscious and bleeding Zenitsu as trash, a furious Shoichi rightfully calls him out on it. | |

Jesus Christ Superstar: Judas is criticizing Mary Magdalene, saying that while she amuses, and he doesn't object to her profession, she doesn't fit in with Christ's teachings. note Many scholars believe that Mary Magdalene's reputation as a prostitute are actually her being confused with another woman, oft referred to as "The Penitent Woman", though there is some debate as to whether the confusion was deliberate and malicious or not, but the common belief is what is presented in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical. Jesus Himself is having none of it. | |
