* Every boss that talks in ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' will drop a one-liner if they kill you, which takes precedence over your usual death screams. For example: "Another ''thrilling'' entreé!", "Do the math.", "Hey Uzuki! How 'bout that ramen?", "[[spoiler:[[FinalBoss Now Shibuya... will be saved.]]]]", and "[[spoiler:[[BonusBoss Open up your world!]]]]"

* During Sarge's funeral in Machinima/RedVsBlue, Grif delivers a roast instead of a eulogy, and [[TheStarscream Simmons]] eulogy is a campaign speech for Sarge's old job.
-->'''Grif:''' Is he campaigning for your job at your own funeral? ''Classy.''
** It should also be noted that Sarge is there, [[AttendingYourOwnFuneral attending his own funeral]] (ItMakesSenseInContext).

** In the sequel, characters often form "character pairs". They improve morale by fighting with each other. Sometimes they're one way. Steroid likes Grizzly for his brute strength, Grizzly doesn't care. Fox and Grizzly like each other. Gaston is infatuated with Fox. These are just a few examples, as the sequel [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters has even more mercs than the first game]], and many of them can interact.

* ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'': In the sixth vox-log, "Day in the Life of Boy", the Principal Vox-Caster unfavorably compares Boy to one of his peers, [[NoIndoorVoice BARG BIG-THROAT]], who he treats as TheAce for being a malformed, feral madman that frequently bullies Boy. Shortly thereafter, he later gets a report that he died "in a tragic rat accident" like the ones Boy dodges every day. Boy's reaction:

* Yzma's eulogy for Kuzco in ''Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove'' starts out formal, but then she abruptly ends it with "Well! He ain't gettin' any deader! Back to work!" For the record, Kronk thinks it was lovely.

[[DroppedABridgeOnHim Alice died.]]

Cue to her funeral where everyone is mourning over her death as Bob comes up to the podium, about to deliver a eulogy. And when he does deliver, it comes off as... informal. Something along the lines of mocking her unfortunate death, or mourning over her death in an unorthodox way that everyone is left confused than sad.

This trope is usually PlayedForLaughs, due to the absurdity of the situation, and doing this in real life would result in getting smacked over the head.

The child of HaveANiceDeath and EnemyChatter wherein {{NPC}}s comment on the failure or death of the player character. It may also apply to other media.

* From ''Film/CitySlickers'': "Lord, we give you Curly. Try not to piss him off."

--> The Emperor had little patience with memorials, Mara knew, with extra contempt for the practice of saying words over the fallen. Mara said a few words anyway, half remembered ones from her childhood, before [[BurialInSpace consigning Tannis's body to the emptiness of space]].

* ''VideoGame/RedFaction 2'' had some Enemy Chatter bites for when you killed other enemies in their vicinity ("That was my cousin! We grew up together" was one of them, IIRC).

** And with a little more GenreSavvy, "He's done this before, he'll be OK!"

* ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' had a couple that emphasized how in awe everyone was of the Master Chief, such as a teammate saying "Great, now ''what'' do we do?", or an enemy Grunt saying in astonishment [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu "It...dies?"]]. Others were more humorous, such as Sergeant Johnson commenting "Ha ha, Chief, real funny. Now get up. ......uh-oh." There is also plenty of dialogue where enemies and allies will react to the deaths of their comrades and enemies, with Marines shouting exclamations like "Why is it always the beautiful ones?" and "That man had a kitten!" and Grunts making an honestly heartbreaking peal of "He was my best friend!" or "No! :sniff: My buddy's gone!"

** "Louis! Oh god, Louis... I'm going to miss you... hey, shotgun!"

** What makes this especially funny is the irreverent tone in which they make these comments, [[DeathIsCheap as if they've seen it a million times before.]]

* If you lose the boss fight against [[spoiler:Baralai]] in ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2 Final Fantasy X-2]]'' you'll hear him say "Sorry" over the GameOver screen.
* Most of the bosses in [[VideoGame/DarkChronicle Dark Chronicle]] will comment on your failure if both main characters fall in battle.

--->'''Campbell:''' [[WhatTheHellPlayer Snake! You can't do that!]] The future will be changed! You'll create a [[TemporalParadox time paradox!]]

* In ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'''s second season, Batou does a visual version where he places a lit cigarette in a bottle and prays over it like a stick of incense for the [[spoiler: Individual Eleven. This is part of his attempt to BreakingSpeech [[BigBad Gohda]] (who brainwashed them into committing suicide as part of his EvilPlan).]]

* Dying in the single-player campaign mode in ''VideoGame/{{Counter-Strike}}: Condition Zero'' would have the bots say "The Commander is down, repeat, the Commander is down!" over the radio.

* The AnnouncerChatter in several games in the ''Franchise/TotalWar'' series come off as this. While generic lines exist for capturing or killing captains and minor nobility in battle, or for having your own killed or captured, things really get personal when royalty gets involved - especially when it's the player's own.

** In fact, this is pretty par for the course in later games of the Franchise/TalesSeries. In fact, in the remake of ''VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny'', not only do every human boss have something to say to you when your party dies, but ''who'' narrates the Game Over line "And they were never seen again," is dependent on which playable character you were using at the time you died.

* ''PlanescapeTorment'' will have one of your allies comment should you (or anyone else in the party) drop. Morte and Annah, naturally, have the snarky lines.

* Classic examples from TheGoldenAgeOfVideoGames:

* ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' had a couple that emphasized how in awe everyone was of the Master Chief, such as a teammate saying "Great, now ''what'' do we do?", or an enemy Grunt saying in astonishment [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu "It...dies?"]]. Others were more humorous, such as Sergeant Johnson commenting "Ha ha, Chief, real funny. Now get up. ......uh-oh."

** [[TheScrappy "Reclaimer, the Archive is this way! ...Reclaimer?"]]
** (Subverted) Grunt: "I'm still alive? This game RULES!"
** And everyone's favorite: a huge, hulking Brute, [[BigNo screaming out]] "He was my LOVERRR!"
** Two more: "Can I have his helmet?" and "I get his gun!"
