As a tough masculine fighter, you never cry, never wince at a hit, and talk in a [[Badass Baritone|manly baritone]]. But it's amazing how a [[Groin Attack]], [[Afraid of Needles|little needle]], or [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|garter snake]] can make your voice rise four octaves into a three-year-old's scream. It seems inherently funny to see this grown man emit a girly scream. This trope is usually played for laughs, as it is hard to take the image of a man who

** Made even better in the commentary when the directors and writers discuss how the screenwriter voiced the girly scream, and he was a man. They tried getting a real woman to scream, a child to scream, but decided to keep the screenwriter's scream, because "no-one can scream like a little girl like he can."
* [[Our Presidents Are Different|President Buffoon]] in ''[[Monsters vs. Aliens]]'' shrieks like a frightened girl the first time he sees Ginormica. Especially amusing since the previous four identical girly screams were from an [[Screaming Woman|actual girl]]. The scene is even funnier when you consider that Ginormica was the only one of the monsters that scared him. Shows that a powerful, unstoppable woman is what all men fear

** In the third movie, the only one that didn't feature Kevin as the protagonist and Marv as the antagonist, we have [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERaAWi5nR-c&feature=related this Groin Attack scene]; it's more like singing than screaming, really.

Another pilot noted that "screams like a girl" could be acronymed into "slag", which is also a British slang term meaning, roughly, slut, and (though this wasn't mentioned on the show) is originally an industrial term for waste product from smelting.
