Some comedies came to mind.

Bill Murray in Stripes: "There's something wrong with us...Something very very wrong with us!!! Something seriously wrong with us! We're soldiers! But we're American soldiers! We've been kicking ass for 200 years! We're 10 and 1!"

Belushi's speech in Animal House: http://youtube.com/watch?v=o_xRg5nzm8s

Sam Kinison in Back to School: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Xfi4s8cjLFI

Renton's speech from Trainspotting.

"It's shite being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low! Scum of the fuckin earth!... It's a shite state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and all the fresh air in the world won't make any fuckin' difference!" etc.
