What Would X Do? | comment |
When a character quotes someone's advice or asks what that person would do in a situation similar to theirs. That someone can be a religious figure of choice, mentors, someone known to be especially suited for such a situation, or even simply someone they idolize in general. Some characters have a tendency to do this all the time, as much as Once an Episode. (The Lancer sometimes describes The Hero in this manner when he finally gets a shot with The Leader ball.) Because of the "What Would Jesus Do?" material in Christian homes, and other serious uses of the idea, this is an Undead Horse Trope. Opposite of Hitler Ate Sugar, when someone argues (fallaciously) that anything an evil person does is considered evil. The Paragon, Mentor Archetype, Old Master, Ideal Hero, and anybody on the Mentor Index could potentially be the X in the equation. Of course, depending on how good a person is at judging character and what kind of values they have, theoretically anyone could be the object of imitation. It's the Sincerest Form of Flattery, after all. Even an Anti-Role Model could be invoked, in a bit of an inversion— "What would that guy do? Go do the opposite of that!" Compare Jesus Was Way Cool and Real Men Love Jesus for people who specifically admire the Man himself. See also Don't Do Anything I Wouldn't Do (a Stock Phrase that means you should behave yourself by following someone else's restraints) and You Remind Me of X. |

In Eric, Rincewind is stuck (again) and tries to think "what would Lavaeolus * a Captain Ersatz of Odysseus, and possibly a distant ancestor of Rincewind given that the name means, more or less, "rinser of winds"do?". And, once he has disposed of the reasonable objection that Lavaeolus would not have been in this situation in the first place, he manages to reason his way to a possible solution. | |

In Gate, several JSDF members consider whether or not to assist the Dark Elves to deal with the Flame Dragon ravaging their land, when assisting them would both violate their orders and possibly lead to a political disaster. They all ask, "What would Itami do?" Itami would say Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!, which they eventually do. | |

In Finding Dory, Marlin and Nemo need to cross an open space at an aquarium. Marlin asks what Dory would do in such a situation, then starts going into an overly-detailed plan that Nemo immediately points out sounds more like something Marlin would do. Marlin then comes up with a new plan that relies more on luck and being Crazy Enough to Work, which Nemo agrees sounds more like Dory. | |

While it's debatable whether he was being serious or not, The Question once asked himself, "What would Rorschach do?" (Kill anyone who annoyed him, duh.)

Heroes of the New World; Izuku gets captured by Ulti, who announces her plans to forcibly make Izuku her boyfriend. Yamato (watching this), asks what Oden would do in this situation. Her solution is to strip down to her underwear, dance through the halls while singing a stupid song, then smash Page One upside the head with her kanabo, distracting Ulti enough for Yamato and Izuku to escape in a Smoke Out. | |

Arrow: Oliver isn't happy about how his kid sister has become a Hard-Drinking Party Girl, and tries to guilt trip her with this trope. It doesn't work. After Laurel Lance dies, a Heroic Wannabe decides to take up her mantle but without the Thou Shalt Not Kill rule that Team Arrow follows. Oliver Queen talks her out of killing Star City's corrupt mayor by asking her what the Black Canary would want her to do. When Taiana becomes corrupted by the power of a magical icon, Oliver grounds her by asking what her dead brother Vlad would want her to do. Given that Oliver killed Vlad (in self defense) he's lucky she didn't reply, "Avenge him!" In Season 7, Oliver travels to an alternate universe and finds Tommy Merlyn about to carry out the Undertaking, this time to avenge the death of their sister Thea. When Oliver asks if Thea would want him to commit mass murder for her sake, he gives an Ironic Echo of the same quote Thea gave Oliver. |

When he gets in trouble, he claims that he did exactly what Captain Archer would've done — which ends up further enraging his already-furious captain. | |

The Simpsons: In one episode, Homer is fleeing a duel with a southern colonel. He wonders "What would Zorro do?" and pictures the swashbuckler being shot by the colonel a la Indiana Jones. Cue Homer's anguished cry, "Zorro!!!" In "Barting Over", Homer had a bracelet that said "WWJD", but when Lisa told him what it meant, Homer complained he thought it meant "What Would Geppetto Do?". Rod and Todd's film choices are influenced by the church movie guide "What Would Jesus View?" In "Dumbbell Indemnity", Homer imagines what Marge would say about getting involved with Moe's car insurance scam: In another episode, Moe tries to convince Homer to give him money. Homer imagines what Marge would say, giving us an Imagine Spot of Moe dressed as Marge, encouraging him to give Moe the money. Then the real Marge enters the bubble and asks what's going on, causing Marge-Moe to hurriedly pull the bubble closed. In "Wedding For Disaster", when the top church minister comes to Springfield, Moe sells buttons and other trinkets with suggestive, (sac)religious messages like "Who Would Jesus Do". Yeah, he's uncouth like that. In "Hungry Hungry Homer", when Homer exposes the Springfield Isotopes' owner's plot to move the team out of Springfield, the owner sics Duffman on him. Homer tells Duffman that this is his chance to do the right thing and fight for the little guys. Duffman feels conflicted and asks himself "What would Jesus do?" A second later Duffman beats the crap out of the Isotopes' owner. |

An episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) has Donnie infiltrating a Kraang base while separated from the others. At one point he gets past a door by using one of the Kraang's robot bodies on a scanner. The others eventually come to the same door with the robot body still there and they ask themselves "What would Donnie do?" Cut to them using the body as a battering ram instead. When that fails to work, Mikey cries out "Donnie's idea was terrible!" | |

In the John Finnemore's Double Acts episode "Here's What We Do", Gavin generally follows the lead of Pidge, although his gran has given him a "Jump Off a Bridge" Rebuttal on the subject. At the end of the episode Pidge does, in fact, jump of a bridge, but Gavin stands his ground and handles himself quite well, which Pidge is impressed by. | |

Probably common way of analyzing various conundrums among anyone with a bit of imagination. Pick your favorite idol or fictional character and ask yourself what she would do. The problem there, of course, is "What if your favorite character is The Joker or The Master or someone?" | |

In Community episode Comparative Religion Jeff eventually asks himself "What would Shirley do?" when confronting Mike. He initially reasons that she'd seek a peaceful resolution. However, when Mike throws this peaceful approach back in his face, he receives confirmation of what Shirley would actually do from the source herself: Earlier in the same episode, Shirley hands out bracelets with the letters WWBJD ("What Would Baby Jesus Do?") to the whole group. |

Near the end, facing his own deadly situation, Wolfwood decides to try this method of doing things. He gets killed. | |

Don Quixote: Parodied when Don Quixote invokes Achilles in His Tent in the Sierra Morena, he asks himself What would two Knights in Shining Armor do? The catch is that being a deconstruction, Don Quixote must choose between the Knight in Shining Armor played straight (Amadis cries and prays for days because his lady Oriana doesn't want to see him anymore) and the Knight in Shining Armor deconstruction (Roland went mad and killed humans, animals and plants when he discovered princess Angelica slept with Medoro). | |

In The Last Hero, Ponder Stibbons has to come up with an emergency solution to an Airship flight problem. Problem is, the senior wizards all want to help. To come up with a way to divert their attention, his line of thought went what would Lord Vetinari do? And it works; he suggests they form a committee, and get back to him once they've decided something, which is how Vetinari got rid of people offering their opinions earlier. In Eric, Rincewind is stuck (again) and tries to think "what would Lavaeolus * a Captain Ersatz of Odysseus, and possibly a distant ancestor of Rincewind given that the name means, more or less, "rinser of winds"do?". And, once he has disposed of the reasonable objection that Lavaeolus would not have been in this situation in the first place, he manages to reason his way to a possible solution. |

The Order of the Stick: Durkon is left to reflect "What would Thor do?" when alone and energy-drained. What Thor would do isn't generally applicable to mortals. One time, when he gets the chance, he does get himself a giant gold tankard filled with beer — with he letters "WWTD?" on the side. In the coloring book Rich put out, one of the answers to the puzzles is Thor's answer: I don't know what I would do either. Also, when Elan's in a tight spot, he sometimes asks himself, "What Would Roy Do?". The first time this comes up, it's Played for Laughs (of course), but later it's used more seriously; Elan has to be The Hero while Roy is dead, but he doesn't have Roy's Wisdom. |

In the Vorkosigan Saga, a few characters attempt to get themselves out of a fix by asking, "What would Miles do?". In Ethan Of Athos, Elli Quinn tries it - "Never do yourself what you can con a professional into doing for you" - and it works quite nicely for her, at least in the short term. In Brothers In Arms, on the other hand, when Miles encounters a group of drunk mercenaries who have somewhat inadvertently taken over a liquor store and claimed to have rigged it with an explosive booby trap, he asks which idiot thought of that idea and is told "I tried to think what you would have done, sir." He groans internally and reflects that, drunk or not, the man is disconcertingly observant. | |

In one episode of Ultra Fast Pony, everyone, even the villain, starts asking, "What would DJ 3-Pones do?", followed by a second-long or so Imagine Spot of her telling what she would do. Her advice starts relatively reasonable before turning into non-sequiturs (telling a dying Celestia "Be sure to eat your fruits and vegetables!") and she eventually talks to Shining Armor directly. | |

The Owl House has two rather heavy examples. In "Young Blood, Old Souls", Lilith reveals that the reason decided to curse Eda before their fight to join the Emperor's Coven (opperating under the assumption that it would merely De-power her for a day rather than saddle her with a life changing disability) was because she asked herself what Emperor Belos would do in her situation. In "Clouds on the Horizon", Amity is despairing over her feelings of helplessness over the impending Day of Unity and Emira attempts to cheer her up by asking her what she thinks Luz would say to her. Amity gets so wrapped up in her thoughts that she doesn't even notice Luz coming in through the window or the twins slipping out to give the two some privacy. Luz then makes her presence known by noting that everything she said was accurate. |

Farscape An episode has Moya being threatened, and only Rygel is small enough to fit through a hole and save the day. However, being former royalty, he is unwilling to risk his life. Then Zhaan asks him "What would Rygel I do?", referencing an earlier conversation in which Rygel was talking with pride about his distant ancestor. Without a word, Rygel walks into the hole. Zigzagged in "Revenging Angel". Harvey urges John Crichton to avenge himself on D'Argo who accidentally put him in a coma. John rejects the idea as that wouldn't be what Captain Kirk would do. Harvey points out that Kirk was savage when he had to be, but John replies that This Is Reality and he has to live with his decisions. |

An unusual form of this trope pops up in Fate/strange Fake. Flat Escardos operates on a Blue-and-Orange Morality and knows it perfectly well, but defiantly sticks to the ethics of his beloved professor Lord El-Melloi II, who was the only one to ever believe in him and save him from the Despair Event Horizon. As a result, Flat often finds himself pondering this trope and struggling to keep his darker impulses in check. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: When trying to plan out his next move, Zuko wonders what his uncle Iroh would do, and answers by doing an impression of the old man. It results in an Ice-Cream Koan even he can't figure out. He then wonders what his sister Azula would do, apparently just to be contrary with himself, and imitates her as well. The only conclusion Zuko can reach is that he's not good at impersonations. | |

Incidentally, by following Shepard's example, Tali decides to blow stuff up, and Garrus builds a team of experts and starts shooting bad guys on his own. Shepard taught them well. | |

And in Mass Effect 3 you get several more like this: Jack, Tali (again), Garrus (also again), Jacob, and Kaidan/Ashley. To be more precise, anyone still alive from the first two games, if they weren't already leaders or important, has become a leader/important, because that's what Shepard would do. And because Krogan have to do it bigger than the other races, Grunt takes his cues from both Shepard and Urdnot Wrex (himself having taken Shepard's example to heart and begun trying to save his race). | |

In the Star Trek novel Sarek, Peter Kirk is kidnapped by the Klingon Ambassador, who had a grudge against his uncle Jim Kirk. While locked up, Peter tries to think of what his famous uncle would do in this situation. The notion he comes up with (And dismisses scornfully) is to seduce his jailer, the ambassador's niece. Amusingly, he eventually ends up doing this for totally different reasons, and this does help him escape. | |

My Hero Academia: Midoriya tends to default to trying to do what All Might would do in any given situation, which leads to his self-destructive Chronic Hero Syndrome impulses. He steps away from this after his reckless use of One For All injures his arms so badly that he's at risk of paralyzing them if he uses 100% Smashes repeatedly again. Uraraka often wonders what Midoriya would do when she's in trouble. While part of this because of her obvious crush on him, it also shows how he is growing into The Paragon. In an anime-only segment, Yaoyorozu wonders what Midoriya would do when she, Tsuyu, Shoji, and Jiro are caught in a trap by an opposing school during the Provisional License Exam. |

Mystery Science Theater 3000: One episode has Crow wearing a "What Would Buffy St. Marie Do?" bracelet... followed by a bracelet with a lot of Ws that stands for, well, a lot of names with two Ws: "What Would the World Wrestling Federation, Woodrow Wilson, Wet Willie, Wesley Willis, Wade Wilson, William Wyler, Wendy Waserstein, Walt Whitman, Willy Wonka, Wim Wender..." (gets interrupted). In another episode, Mike (speaking for a struggling songwriter) asks "What would Liberace do? ...Hmm, better not do that." When the guys watched Time Chasers, one of the guys responded to "What would MacGyver do?" (see above) with "Get canceled." |

The Professionals has a variation on the trope. In "Involvement", Doyle has fallen in love with the Girl of the Week and is upset when she falls under suspicion of being connected to the drug ring they're investigating. Cowley admits the evidence is circumstantial but asks: "What would you do?" as in: "Would you cease to investigate this under normal circumstances?" | |

Odd Squad: In "Moustache Confidential", Olive asks herself in exasperation when attempting to find out the address where the Re-Visible-inator is hidden: "What would Odd Todd do?" Rivka answers in kind with "Something odd", which spurs Olive to have a realization that Odd Todd would pick an odd number for an address. Sure enough, she deduces that he's at 35 Main Street, and she ends up being right on the money. A variant occurs in "First Day" when Olympia, remorseful for giving up on the case, tells Otis that doing so isn't something that neither Olive nor Otto, her idols, would have done. He comforts her by telling her that while he doesn't know either of them, nothing goes easy the first time and you can always try your best. |

Deltarune: In chapter 2, Susie, while riding on a Ferris Wheel with Noelle, muses that Kris always seems to know what to do and wonders what they would be doing in her place. A dialogue box briefly comes up with the options "Point and hearts come out" (Kris's generic ACT animation) and "Eat moss". No matter which option is selected, it's at this point that it occurs to Susie that maybe Kris doesn't always know what to do. | |

In A Song of Ice and Fire, all the Lannister siblings have moments where they think back to their father, Tywin, and how he would handle the situation, usually acting accordingly. Jaime and Tyrion occasionally think this way about each other as well, indicating both their closeness and how their opposite skill sets complement each other. | |

In "The Burrito", when trying to philosophically wrestle her way out of a moral dilemma, Eleanor asks herself "what would Superman do", and "what would Rihanna" do. |

When Hylas' former friend Telamon tries to think of how to make progress in finding the dagger of Koronos in The Crocodile Tomb, he asks himself what would his uncle Pharax or grandfather Koronos do. It then occurs to him that he doesn't wonder what would his father Thestor do because he has decided his kind father is weaker than the rest of their dreaded kin. |

This is a core concept of Samurai Gourmet. In his retirement, Takeshi Kasumi is determined not only to enjoy himself but also to be more assertive in doing so (in accordance with his new social status as "the elder", though he doesn't put it that way). Whenever social stickiness gets in the way of this, there occurs an Indulgent Fantasy Segue where a Sengoku ronin demonstrates how he would handle the situation. This is sometimes preceded by the explicit question, "What would a samurai do?" Usually, the answer is not violence, but just being really, really cool. | |

The answer she thinks of is to directly charge at the hydra. In another episode, this gets an Ironic Echo when Rainbow Dash wonders what a smart pony like Twilight Sparkle would do. In "The Saddle Row Review", the other members of the Mane Six keep asking themselves "What would Rarity do?" when trying to help set up the grand opening of Rarity's new boutique. It keeps going badly until Twilight Sparkle realizes that what Rarity would really want is for each of her friends to use their own judgment. In "Discordant Harmony", Discord is starting to fade away from acting too "normal" rather than his usual chaotic self. This forces Fluttershy, in order to save him, to start pondering "What would Discord do?" and act accordingly. |

Doctor Who: "The Visitation": Tegan asks "What would the Doctor do?" to start the TARDIS. She pounds her fist on the console and the TARDIS starts up. Later, when the TARDIS is malfunctioning, the Doctor hits it in the same spot. "New Earth": Villain of the Week Cassandra has just possessed the Doctor's body when the Monster of the Week bursts into the room. She panics and demands to know what the Doctor would do (the answer, of course, is get the hell out of there). She then demonstrates what the Doctor would not do by shoving his companion out of the way so she can escape first. "Last of the Time Lords": The Master mockingly asks "What would the Doctor do?" while trying to get Martha to surrender to him and his goons, as he's just threatened to murder the various innocent residents of the slum she's hiding in if she doesn't come out. In Series 11, Graham O'Brien often asks himself "What would Grace do?" during his adventures with the Doctor. Grace being his late wife, who died at the climax of the first episode, "The Woman Who Fell to Earth". "War of the Sontarans": When Yaz finds herself alone on an unknown planet with a strange robot asking for help, she glances at her palm, where she's written "WWTDD?" The Big Bad of the season later mocks her for this. |

This ends with Mai dangling from a flagpole with Magnum crying "She's going to fall to her untimely death! What would L. Ron Hubbard do?" Much earlier Yugi asks Mokuba what his brother would say about him stealing things. He has to amend this to what he would ay "if he wasn't a complete douchebag" after Mokuba imagines that Seto would tell him to steal something from Joey too. In a vision given to him by the Millennium Rod, Kaiba receives advice from the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future, ending with "Ask yourself: What would Christian Bale do?" Kaiba points out that this was proceeded by a story of how Christian Bale was betrayed and murdered by his robot wife. |

In Flutterspy, Fluttershy is trapped in a theater's storage room with evil ninja Yellow Viper. She imagines how the rest of the Mane Six would react, and realizes that most of their solutions wouldn't work for her. Desperate, she uses Pinkie Pie's method—dressing up in the old costumes and pretending to be a hostile ghost—because it's Crazy Enough to Work. However, Yellow Viper is not convinced, and Fluttershy has to fight her way out. | |

In the "Jesus vs Santa" short, the prototype of South Park, the children ask "What would Brian Boitano do?" and fail to come up with an answer. In the feature film, they sing a song about the subject, listing the feats of Brian Boitano, which lie on the absurd level of a Memetic Badass. Also for Brian Boitano, he now has a show on Food Network called "What Would Brian Boitano Make?". It's exactly what it says on the tin. | |

She got the idea from Zuko’s uncle, Iroh, in the Spirit World. | |

Star Trek: Voyager A variant in "Course: Oblivion", when the biomimetic Voyager which is in the process of melting back into "silver blood" comes into contact with the real Voyager and the ship couldn't drop out of warp, the biomimetic Harry Kim orders Seven of Nine to dump the warp core. When Seven warns that dumping it while still traveling at warp would tear the ship apart, Harry tries to reason with Seven by saying, "What would Captain Janeway have done?" Another variant in "Tuvix". A transporter accident merges Neelix and Tuvok into the title character Tuvix. When the crew comes up with a means of seperating him however, Tuvix objects because this would mean effectively killing him. Janeway asks Tuvix to consider what Tuvok or Neelix would do. Tuvix agrees they would sacrifice their own lives, but even if his decision seems cowardly, Tuvix says he has as much right to live as anyone else. |

According to him, that would be not to listen to anyone else, be mean to people, cause as much destruction as possible, talk in a really low, gravelly voice, and go in alone. Batman, who is forced to watch but can't do anything due to being trapped in the Phantom Zone, is horrified by this as he now views what he'd do is terrible. | |

In one episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Salem got cat-napped by a little kid who wanted a pet. A couple of scenes later, Salem is trying to figure out how to get back home. | |

Subverted in The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye. When they end up in the fake Afterspark, Rodimus has a bit of a Heroic BSoD. Whirl snaps him out of it by asking "What Would Megatron Do?" - not because either of them seriously cares what Megatron would do, but because Megatron is something of a Berserk Button for Rodimus, and as such, Whirl knows that mentioning him is going to get Rodimus off his exhaust port and actually doing something. Sure enough, within a page, Rodders is rudely demanding to see the Afterspark's manager. | |

Minilife TV: In "Chris and Ian Shamelessly Promote Themselves", when Conan asks Zach (disguised as Ian) to play the trumpet for the show, Zach asks himself what Ian would do. Ian tells him to go for it in his mind, which doesn't pay off since Zach is bad at playing the trumpet. | |

In Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, Edgeworth is able to put the final pieces of the puzzle in the last case together by thinking to himself (paraphrased) 'That man who could turn around victories from the brink of defeat...what would he do?' This makes him realize that he needs to "turn around" his thinking, and thus that the blood on the Samurai Dogs pack might not be from the victim, but that it could be — and is — from the murderer. | |

Punisher: The Platoon: The incompetent Captain Cuong is reduced to muttering "What would he do" when informed that an isolated American force has been sighted, "he" being the actually talented General Letrong Giap. Predictably, he did exactly the opposite of what Giap wanted by sending all available troops (although in his defense he was deliberately given false information on their numbers), and the Vietnamese forces are slaughtered when the Americans manage to call artillery on their position. | |

In the episode "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II" of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Guinan points out to Riker that he can't follow his natural inclination to think like Picard. Indeed, since Picard has been assimilated by the Borg, the Borg could easily repel any plan that Picard could devise. | |
