History Main / AreWeThereYet

* A British radio commercial for a product [[WhatWereTheySellingAgain we can't recall]] has a kid asking this with growing impatience before a GPS device shuts him up by telling that the destination is still several hundred miles away. Of note, the kid has a [[MostAnnoyingSound very shrill voice]], the commercial most commonly airs on mornings and a lot of people use radio alarm clocks. Do the math.

* There is a book called ''Are We There Yet,'' followed up by ''Don't Make Me Pull this Vehicle Over!'' a Chicken Soup for the Soul-like series.

* In the season five episode "Spiral" of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', the Scoobies are on the run from Glory in a stolen RV, and while they're on the road, Anya decides after some inquiries that it is traditional -- and, indeed, ''required'' -- that someone ask this. So she does.
** The response she gets is that they don't even know they are going. So a bit later she asks, "Do we know where we're going yet?"

* ''Series/DoctorWho''

* Individual examples would be pointless - let's just say that in its 30 seasons, more than one frustrated racer has asked this on ''Series/TheAmazingRace''.

* In WesternAnimation/TheWackyAdventuresOfRonaldMcDonald, Sundae asks this while the group is on their way to their campsite.

* [[https://notalwaysworking.com/the-perfect-attitude-for-altitude/34868 This pilot]] on ''WebSite/NotAlwaysWorking'' [[DefiedTrope heads off the question]].

* In chapter 11, of ''Fanfic/TheUndesirables'', Princess Luna and a ponified Sonata Dusk are riding on train.

** A while ago, Burger King had a selection of Simpsons watches as toys for their Kid's Meals. One of the watches consisted of Bart and Lisa doing this to a very notably annoyed Homer while he's driving.

* In ''ComicStrip/PricklyCity'', Carmen is following Kevin through the tunnel he's digging and finally asks this. Kevin asks whether it's ''ComicStrip/FamilyCircus'' and threats to turn the tunnel around.

* ''Disney/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar'' has an example near the beginning of the film when Jafar, still in his lamp, asks Iago if they have exited the Cave of Wonders. It is implied he asked more times before the scene as an annoyed Iago responds "'Are we out yet? Are we out yet?' Yes, we're out!"

StockPhrase in comedy, usually repeated ad nauseam, usually by children or childish characters, much to the annoyance of the other passengers. The stock response is a "We'll get there when we get there!" in an annoyed voice, or "Don't make me turn this car around!" when the driver is getting fed up.

* The teaser of "Baby Steps" on ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' reveals that when D.W. Read goes on her car trip with her family, it's a constant litany of "Are we there yet?" and when she bakes cookies with them, it's "Are they done yet?"

''[after Donkey annoys Shrek with his mouth]''\\

* In "Noisy Neighbor" from ''Literature/LlamaLlama'', Llama Llama asks this of Mama Llama during the walk to the house whose yard he and his friends are cleaning, despite it being just across the street. Although this is not obvious at first, a scene a bit later actually shows them to waving to each on opposite sides of the street.

* In "Michelle" from ''WesternAnimation/BeatBugs'', Buzz asks this as Michelle (actually Kumi in a French disguise) supposedly leads the group to her castle, though because she hasn't quite mastered pronouns yet, it comes out "Is we there yet?"

* The entire premise of [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12580850/1/Are-We-There-Yet]]

* The "are we dead yet" gag was also used in [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/2592.html this strip]] of ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'', along with a link to this page, [[OneOfUs as usual]].

* In ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'', Pit asks this several times while climbing the Lightning Chariot Master's tower, much to Viridi's annoyance.

'''Vegeta:''' (''suddenly calm'') No, Nappa, we are not there yet.

* Bree does this in the ''WebVideo/Lonelygirl15'' episode "Swimming!"
* Emily does this in the ''WebVideo/LookAVlog'' Ep. 11.

* In ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'', Nappa did this to Vegita for the whole yearlong trip to Earth.

** In ''Franklin and the Green Knight'', Snail sighs and asks this after he and Franklin go on a long journey to find a magic cherry tree supposedly contains blossoms that can bring spring. Fortunately, the answer is yes.

* The background of the opening credits of ''Carpool'' is, rather than music, the typical morning carpool conversation. Naturally, the kids start up a chant of "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" When the driver yells at them to "stop saying that", they change the chant to "When will we get there? When will we get there? When will we get there?

* The ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "Sleepless in Ponyville" has Rarity doing this while heading for the first campsite, though we only hear the last one.
-->'''Applejack:''' The last thousand times you asked that, the answer was "no". This time, it's actually "yes".
