History Main / InThatOrder

* From the British run of ''WhoseLineIsItAnyway'', whilst doing a scene in the style of Greek tragedy:

* [[TopGear Jeremy Clarkson]] once had this gem during his US Special:

* In the Series/DoctorWho episode ''The Snowmen'', [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Strax]], a Sontaran who's been assisting the Doctor (and really, ''really'' just wants to kill ''something''), gives his recommendation for dealing with an intruder:

'''Kayaba:''' ... I'm gonna have have to get back to you on that one.

* "Die Zumutungen der Moderne" by Nicolas Mahler (about his life as cartoonist) has a somewhat unconvincing example, as the order is not that relevant. While the comic boheme does smalltalk, one member shocks them by claiming he will reduce his life to the absolutely necessary, "television and [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbation]] - not necessarily in that order".

* ''{{Series/Jekyll}}'' - Benjamin, about to walk into a meeting with Hyde, warns his men "Don't kill him. Or me. In that order."

I kill them, draw them, pluck them - it's the best way I have found,\\

* Website/CollegeHumor features a variation where Batman, circa ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', spends his dying breaths [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enOHraf3LEk&feature=player_embedded&hd=1 relating how he knocked Talia up]], going in detail on how he explored her orifices...and "not in the order you might imagine", cueing {{Squick}} from Bane.

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

* In ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', at one point, they run into Sigrun Gard, who had recently been disemboweled during a fight. Thomas comes to the conclusion that Gard had beaten up the opponents, and then gotten her wounds. Harry corrects him; she beat up a fallen angel ''[[{{Badass}} while her guts were hanging out of her side.]]''

* In ''ExterminatusNow'' a captured assassin sneers at the inquisitors that he knows how "interrogation" will mean [[GeneHuntInterrogationTechnique something silly]]. Turns out he's wrong.

* This quote from ''TheWarAgainstTheChtorr'': "Life is short. Then you die. Then the worms eat you. Be grateful it happens in that order." [[spoiler: Chtorran gastropedes are giant worms that eat people alive.]]

* ''AquaTeenHungerForce'', the 100th episode:

* From the original ''Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968'': "If they catch you, they will dissect you. And kill you. In that order."

-->'''Eastwood''':"We will have Lothar here cut your bollocks off and then ask you some questions."
-->'''Assassin''':"... Don't you mean the other way round?!"
-->'''Eastwood''':"No, I'm pretty sure we've got it right."

-->'''Studio Exec''': "Can I rape her and behead her? ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice And not necessarily in that order]]?"'' [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids This is a family show]]!

* In the Xel'lotath path of ''VideoGame/EternalDarkness'', she instructs her dragon to deal with Charlemagne as follows: "Make sure he is dead... or... insane... Or perhaps first the one, then the other?" Given the nature of the game, doing it in the order given is actually not impossible, as one of the player's characters will find out first hand...

--->'''Eastwood''':"We will have Lothar here cut your bollocks off and then ask you some questions."
--->'''Assassin''':"... Don't you mean the other way round?!"
--->'''Eastwood''':"No, I'm pretty sure we've got it right."

--> Jeremy: "Three religions [[DeepSouth down here]]: George Bush, God, Country and Western. InThatOrder. ''Ascending'' order."

--> '''Mason Verger:''' "So what do ya think, Cordell? Does Lecter want to fuck her or kill her or eat her alive?"
--> '''Cordell:''' "Probably all three, though I wouldn't want to predict in what order."

* This quote from ''TheWarAgainstTheChtorr'': "Life is short. Then you die. Then the worms eat you. Be grateful it happens in that order."

* ''{{Jekyll}}'' - Benjamin, about to walk into a meeting with Hyde, warns his men "Don't kill him. Or me. In that order."

* From the original ''PlanetOfTheApes'': "If they catch you, they will dissect you. And kill you. In that order."

* In an early episode of TheFairlyOddParents after Timmy wishes Mark the alien to earth.

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

* In ''{{Coupling}}'', Susan invites Steve over for dinner. When she's ready to go home and start cooking, she says to him, "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything You can come and watch]] ... in that order."

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

* CollegeHumor features a variation where Batman, circa ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', spends his dying breaths [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enOHraf3LEk&feature=player_embedded&hd=1 relating how he knocked Talia up]], going in detail on how he explored her orifices...and "not in the order you might imagine", cueing {{Squick}} from Bane.

* Subverted in ''Webcomic/TheDementiaOfMagic'': When confronting the witch that poisoned the city, the heroes say they want her head and her poison's antidote, in ''either'' order.

* In the ''CabinPressure'' episode "Fitton", Arthur tells his mother Carolyn that his father asked after her and the plane, but not in that order.
