->"''Y'know, if you want my personal opinion, "[[CallingYourAttacks Kikōhō]]" is a pretty sad choice of last words. But to be fair, it's far from the worst decision you've made today!''"

* In ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'', Sasha succumbs to a gunshot wound in an ambush. Her dying words? [[BigEater "Meat."]]

* ''Film/{{Speed}}'': Conversed by Howard Paine, the MadBomber BigBad, in the opening sequence when he grabs Officer Harry Temple and he tells him "fuck you". Payne makes clear that he thinks using that specific insult as a way to showcase you're DefiantToTheEnd has become an unimaginative cliche.

You all know about people's dying moments, how they'll give you a plea to [[WesternAnimation/FinalSpace take care of the boy]], [[Film/ThePhantomMenace train the boy]], or [[DyingDeclarationOfLove how they love the protagonist]] ([[RuleOfThree who may be a boy]])]]. Some of these quotes can go down in history as some of the greatest lines of all time.

* In ''Series/TooOldToDieYoung'', right before Janey gets her brains blown out by getting shot in the eye, she weakly let's out a "[[IWantMyMommy Mom]]" before she's killed. Given that she's a teenage girl who looks like she's about to wet herself while staring down the barrel of a gun, it makes sense that's where her overloaded brain would go.

* In ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', several character deaths are preceded by them literally saying "Herk... bleah!". This was most prominent during the first five seasons, "The Blood Gulch Chronicles", before the show [[CerebusSyndrome shifted to more serious writing]].

* In ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', the last thing [[spoiler:Adam Taurus]] says after he is fatally stabbed and before he falls to his death is a simple "Oh."

* ''Literature/GoingPostal'': "Albert Spangler", standing on the gallows after his [[GreatEscape prison break]] is foiled, rather lamely says "I wasn't really expecting to die". {{Subverted|Trope}} when the hangman allows him a do-over and he comes up with some well-received last words. (Unknown to the public, "Spangler" survives his execution and discards the alias anyway.)

** Cypher gets his own lame last words when Tank turns out to be NotQuiteDead

* ''Literature/OldMansWar:'' The protagonist's wife has a stroke while making pancakes. Her last words are "Where I did I put the damn vanilla?"

* ''Series/DeadLikeMe'': {{Discussed|Trope}} when a team of {{Psychopomp}}s record decades' worth of people's last thoughts in a database. Daisy is deeply disturbed by how banal and repetitive they are; but the team still finds them very relatable in the basic elements of humanity they portray.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': In "The Doctor Dances", the Doctor disperses the advancing monsters by yelling "Go to your room!" (ItMakesSenseInContext). [[LampshadeHanging He then comments that he is really glad that worked, because those would have been terrible last words.]]
* In ''Series/GameOfThrones'', when Sandor Clegane kills some rogue Brotherhood Without Banners members, all one can say is a whimpering "Fuck you". When Sandor mocks him for his rather uncreative choice in last words, he follows it up with an equally pathetic "...Cunt," causing Sandor to snark "You're shit at dying, you know that?" In fairness Sandor had just axed him in the groin, so he wasn't at his most articulate.

'''GM:''' Okay, I'll alow that.\\

* In ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'', Ben's last words (he thinks) are "I can't believe my last words are 'Snot rocket'! That said, if he had stayed silent, it would have instead been "I thought it."

---> No! I don't believe it

* ''Literature/AruShahAndTheEndOfTime'': As Aru and Mini pass through the Halls of the Dead, they can hear the final words of dead people, which include: "No, not yet!", "Please make sure someone remembers to feed Snowball", and "[[GettingCrapPastTheRadar I hope someone clears my Internet browser]]."
