* Inverted and subverted in ''Film/TheBigLebowski'', when [[JerkAss Walter]] tries to justify pulling a gun on a [[DisproportionateRetribution possibly-cheating bowler]]:

** Also, in the "World of Pain" scene:

* ''VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved'': Sgt. Johnson gives a RousingSpeech to a squad of marines then asks, "Am I right, Marines?"
-->'''Marines''': [[SemperFi Sir, yes, sir!]]
-->'''Johnson''': Mmm-hmm. Damn right, I am!

The JapaneseLanguage has the word "ne", which pretty much means the same thing. Using it at the end of an English sentence still counts as GratuitousJapanese, ne? The fact that this is a natural and frequently occurring feature of the language doesn't mean, however, that it can't be overdone, as you can simply expand it to, "Nee nee? So desu nee?" ''Ad nauseam.''

* Done to perfection in ''Film/GroundhogDay'' by StephenTobolowsky

* In the first Filmation ''HeckleAndJeckle'' cartoon after the two come out of a theater showing an adventure movie:

--> -- '''Charlie [=McCoy=]''', ''[[Film/MagnumForce]]''

--> -- '''Charlie [=McCoy=]''', ''[[Film/DirtyHarry Magnum Force]]''

French has a similar equivalent, [[GratuitousFrench n'est-ce pas?]] In Canadian English, the famous VerbalTic [[CanadaEh "eh?"]], in RealLife, is most often used for this purpose, eh?

* [[Franchise/{{Halo}} Sgt. Johnson]] gives a RousingSpeech to a squad of marines then asks, "Am I right, Marines?"

* Used by SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker in ''ComicBook/TheKillingJoke''

* Done to perfection in ''Film/GroundhogDay'' by HeyItsThatGuy! ''extraordinaire'', StephenTobolowsky

-->'''Soldier:''' Listen in order to maintain air speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings 32 times per second, right?\\

'''Sodlier:''' Am I right?\\

* From ''MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'':

* Brother Cavil in the ''[[Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined Battlestar Galactica]]'' episode "The Eye of Jupiter":

--> '''Jane:''' *slides out*I haven't seen anything that choreographed since Colin Powell's UN testimony on WMDs. Am I right? *slides back in*\\

* In the Will Farrel film ''Film/AnchormanTheLegendOfRonBurgundy'', the character Wes Mantooth pulls it out in a battle of wits.

* In ''DeadlyGames'' (Administrivia/ThereIsNoSuchThingAsNotability, amirite?) Peter's CatchPhrase is "Am I right, or am I right?" Sometimes he'll add "Don't get me right if I'm not right." At one point, it gets [[StolenCatchphrase stolen]] by the BigBad, who takes out an EasterEgg villain while [[PreMortemOneLiner finishing a quip]] with a ''very'' smug "Am I right, or ''am. I. Right.''" (As the villain of the week wasn't part of the main game, Jackal doesn't see it as one of 'his' and TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou led him to save the heroes.)
