Cocky/Funny examples

[Hunter Rose]

Just caught a bunch of "Bam's Unholy Union" shows on MTV2.

PERFECT example of what shit you can do to chicks and still have
them all over you. They're in the middle of planning their wedding,
and Bam is pulling shit like putting a buddy in her wedding dress
to play paintball in the mud (and then nailing it to the front door
for her to see whn she gets back), pulling off her Ugg boots and
tossing them into the running fireplace, etc.

Just amazing what she'll put up with.

i wouldnt call this a good example. for one that show is staged, also later he buys her new boots. besides, even if it was real the guy is a celebrity and she is about to get married and be financially set for life... why would she leave him and ruin her meal ticket

[Rhody]

Yeah, I agree with hooks. Bam does have some cock&funny to him, but he has mass amounts of social proof. I think he attracts a certain type of girl, a gold digger with low self esteem, a.k.a. groupie. It's hard to judge his game when everything is set up for success. Don't get me wrong, he has game, but he also has everything else going for him.

Strangely enough, I watched a movie with my son yesterday and something hit me. The movie was Ace Ventura Pet Detective. Ace is a charicature of a PUA. He has peacocking down pat, and it's congruent with his persona. He has cocky&funny up the wazoo. And he did push/pull with Courtney Cox until they were rattling his headboard.

ACE
What do you feed your dog?
(We see Melissa's dog lying near Ace's feet.)
MELISSA
Ah… dog food, why?
ACE
He's miserable.
MELISSA
What are you talking about?
ACE
He's just very unhappy, I feel
sorry for him. Bad diet, isolated
environment. It's amazing he's
still alive.
MELISSA
You're just mad because your
stupid pebble theory didn't work
out and you don't know how to
express your anger.
ACE
Yeah? And you're ugly.
MELISSA
I'm not even gonna' talk to you,
please leave.
ACE
What, so you can beat him? Fatty!

They go to the scene of an apparent suicide, and he shows up all the "real" police by proving that it was a murder. Huge DHV. And more cocky&funny:

MELISSA
That was pretty impressive, what
you did back at the apartment.
ACE
(still looking)
You don't have to tell me. I was
there.
MELISSA
Maybe you should have joined the
police force… become a real
detective.
ACE
(shaking his head)
I don't do humans.
(Melissa gets a bit closer.)
MELISSA
You really love animals, don't
you?
(Ace stops searching and looks into her eyes.)
ACE
When it's cold enough.

I feel a kinship with them. I
understand them. Wanna hear
something kinda spooky?
MELISSA
Sure.
(She gets closer still.)
ACE
One time, when I was about twelve,
I had this dream that I was being
followed by a dog with rabies. He
had these really bloodshot eyes
and foam coming out of his
mouth… and just before I got to
my front door… he jumped on me
and sunk his teeth in. Then I
woke up, and felt the back of my
neck… check this out.
(Ace motions for Melissa to feel the back of his neck, but when she does, he snaps at her hand,
barking like a vicious dog.)
ACE
ARARAR!!!
(Melissa jumps out of her skin.)
MELISSA
Ohhh!! You bastard!
ACE
(snickering)
I'm sorry. I couldn't stop
myself.

He's established attraction and comfort. He's created a high adrenaline moment where she associates excitement with him. Also, he had a perfect opportunity for kino, but decided to tease her instead. If she wasn't intrigued before, she is now. Then he moves in for the kill:

MELISSA
Can you drop me off before you go?
ACE
(shaking his head)
No way. It may not be safe at
your apartment, and you shouldn't
be left alone.
MELISSA
What do you suggest?
CUT TO:
INT. ACE'S BEDROOM - LATER
We see a person's butt under a sheet coming up into frame repeatedly.
SKIN, SWEAT, SHEETS FLY, as Ace and Melissa roll back and forth on the bed. Ace is taking
no prisoners.
CUT TO:
50 animals at the bottom of the bed, with eyes as big as silver dollars, watching them silently. We
cut back and forth between furious lovemaking and shots of staring animals.
Melissa and Ace simultaneously reach the pinnacle of pleasure.
MELISSA
(totally amazed and exausted)
OH man… oh man! Oh wow!
ACE
(mock embarrassment)
I'm sorry… that's never happened
to me before. I must be tired.

I think that's a fun example. That character was always in state, never intimidated by a beautiful woman. He just showed IODs and DHVs until she was attracted. He didn't really pursue her until she showed IOIs, then rewarded her. He was the prize, even though he was probably the strangest guy she ever met. Nicely done!

awesome stuff

[TheDoGhoUse]

yeah, what a great movie

[Guest]

Damn. That's just too awesome for me. I think I'm gonna give up while I'm ahead, cause I don't think I can ever be as awesome as Ace Ventura.
