Throughout the history and really good stories there have been some memorable battlecries. In The Cry of the Icemark Thirrin fights to "Blood! Blast! and Fire!" and then in real life there was the Almogavars who shouted "Desperta ferro!" (Awake the iron) as they beat the rust off their blades. Many simply resort to screaming.
However there are things you will never hear from people charging into battle to face death. Things like "If we win no one will remember but if we lose, no one will forget!" (Terry Pratchett) and from the Redundant Department of Redundancy "By the power of Greyskull, I have the power!"
What other battlecries fail to inspire?

Battle cries that fail to inspire...hm...what about not so "battle" cries, like:
Random Guy: Giranimooooo! *Jumps off of cliff.*
Me: *watches*.
Guy: "ooooooo---!" *Splat.*
Me: I'll pass.
Other than that and that "kalabunga" or however it's spelled, I can't really think of battle cries, and I know that's not even a battle cry.

Cowabunga, trademark of the Ninja Turtles. Oh yeahhhhh!
There's a cool battlecry in this quiz I took a couple years ago: Ooh, look! A monkey!

Has anyone read Looking for Group? It's a webcomic of sheer awesomeness. One of the main characters, and my favorite, Richard, has a battle cry. It's "For Pony!" Best illustrated like this.

You should definitely read it. I've already read through it, or what's been posted so far, at least seven times...

The Tick is awesome! It has totally been way too long since I've seen it.
Here's one I just came up with. Yeah, it's lame, but whatever. "I'm a ninja!"
Or I guess it could be "Believe it!"
