Alternate Catchphrase Inflection: Someone says their catchphrase in a different voice than usual.Compare Let's Get Dangerous! and Weirder Than Usual. If they're doing this deliberately to make another character think something is amiss, see Out-of-Character Alert.
It isn't Hidden Depths because it isn't telling us something about the character we didn't already know it's similar to an Out-of-Character Moment in that this is specifically the usage of such a moment to draw attention to a scene. This is a trope for when a somewhat- Out-of-Character action is used to draw extra attention to the scene (similar to a Title Drop). It's also a pretty good indication the Godzilla Threshold has been crossed. When most or all of these OoC moments happen at once, you can be sure that the Darkest Hour has arrived, leading characters to behave in ways they normally wouldn't, because they know they might not have another chance to do so. Often causes the other characters to do a Double Take and mention why this event is Serious Business. This is for when characters momentarily break away from their normal habits to make a point about the seriousness of the situation. Some characters have strong traits that they are known by.
The long form of the trope title is " Out of Character Is Serious Business."
