->''"If [the reavers] take the ship, they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skins into their clothing. And, if we're very, very lucky, they'll do it [[TitleDrop in that order]]."''

* In ''Dead Man'' the character Cole Wilson was known to have killed, fucked, and ate his parents. In that order.

* F.E.A.R.'s industrial first level features the following sign on the walls: "Remember it's Quantity, Quality, Safety, ''in that order.''"

* ''{{Firefly}}'' gives us the TropeNamer, which is used in the "scary threat" sense and underscores how [[TheDreaded dreaded]] and utterly terrifying the Reavers are in the verse.

* In ''MoneyTrain'', Wesley Snipes' and Woody Harrelson's characters get chewed out by their [[BadBoss unhealthily aggressive supervisor]] for misconduct. Patterson (the supervisor) claims that if they screw up again, he's going to "fuck them dead". W & W then discuss and try to figure out if he meant fucking them before, or after they're dead. They come to the conclusion that "[[AWorldwidePunomenon Either way it's a pain in the ass]]". Later in the film, Wesley makes a point that they need to stay one step ahead of "That necrophiliac Patterson".

* From the British run of ''[[WhoseLineIsItAnyway Whose Line is it Anyway?]]'', whilst doing a scene in the style of Greek tragedy:

* In ''ASongOfIceAndFire'', the sadistic Ramsay Snow likes to hunt women with dogs. If they are "lucky", and he thinks they put up a good fight, he'll kill them and then flay their skin and will name a dog after them. If they aren't lucky, he'll rape them and then flay them alive.

* A play on the ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' example specifically, rather than a general example in and of itself: {{Warhammer Online}} has a powerful (for its level) health potion with the description "Next time, pillage ''before'' you burn".

* In the [[AdaptationDisplacement oft-forgotten]] manga version of ''ExcelSaga'', Excel at one point tells Hyatt, "You were in a tight spot back there, Ha-Chan! If I hadn't jumped in, you would a' been buried... then murdered... then defiled!" to which Hyatt can only respond, "In exactly that order?"

* The ''{{Firefly}}'' example and TropeNamer is quoted above.

* Inverted in the trailer for ''PokerNightAtTheInventory''

* ''{{House}}'': Dr. House says to a female patient he dislikes, "If you're gonna kill me and rape me, please do it in that order."
