* Basically the punchline of 90% of what [[SayonaraZetsubouSensei Nozomu Itoshiki]] says.

* From ''{{Pump Up the Volume}}'':

* Zathras, from ''{{Babylon 5}}'', did this to himself, but he was remarkably sanguine about it.

* In an early ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' episode, Buffy and Xander try to cheer Willow up (who has just realized her on-line boyfriend was a demon) by mentioning their own hapless experiences in the romance department: Xander's fling with a giant preying mantis that tried to eat his head, and Buffy's discovery that Angel is a vampire. They laugh together, and then a beat later, sink into quiet depression.
* In an episode of ''{{Friends}}'', Joey asks Chandler and Ross for advice on how to repel women. They start off offended, then become enthusiastic, then end up depressed. Ross spends the rest of the episode responding to everything with "Who cares? I repel women."

* In ''WorldOfWarcraft'', when you turn in the quest "Trolls is gone crazy!" to Chief Rageclaw in Zul'Drak, he comments:

* The TropeNamer would be the ''{{Futurama}}'' episode "The Sting", in which Professor Farnsworth has one of these moments when he jokes about Fry being dead.

* An example from everybody's favorite prime time cartoon "{{The Simpsons}}", in the episode "Radioactive Man", Nelson tries out for the part of Fallout Boy. On being dismissed, he passes a mirror and gives himself his trademark "Ha-ha", followed by "Hey, that hurt. No wonder nobody came to my birthday party!"

* Ess in ''{{Amazoness}}'' [[http://amazoness.co.uk/155.htm here]].
* This has been the punchline for at least one "QuestionableContent" strip.
* The [[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp08022005.shtml Sad Songs storyline]] from ''SomethingPositive''.
* T-Rex in '' {{Dinosaur Comics}}'' [[http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=1895 here]].

* Used by a lot of people on the internet.

* Invoked in WebOriginal/TheNostalgiaCritic's review of the dumbest moments in the ''{{Superman}}'' movies, when what he says that the movies reminds him of things like the tragic fates of Christoper Reeve, Margot Kidder and the World Trade Center.
-->"I'm WebOriginal/TheNostalgiaCritic, and I'm gonna go kill myself. "
* Zack in the [[WebOriginal/EchoChamber Trope Of The Week]] episode ''TerribleIntervieweesMontage''.

-->'''Hotshot Charlie: ''' "I yield to no one in my appreciation of Oriental art, but there is a small segment of my mind which I reserve for the well-being of Charles C. Charles - Hotshot Charlie to the multitudes - and at the moment I feel myself somewhat depressed about his future."

* Invoked in TheNostalgiaCritic's review of the dumbest moments in the ''{{Superman}}'' movies, when what he says that the movies reminds him of things like the tragic fates of Christoper Reeve, Margot Kidder and the World Trade Center.
-->"I'm TheNostalgiaCritic, and I'm gonna go kill myself. "

* A vignette on ''Lamb Chop's Play-Along'' has Hush Puppy (the show's [[TheDitz Ditz]], or maybe their {{Cloudcuckoolander}}) recite a limerick about a lady who was so skinny "that when she essayed, to drink lemonade, she slipped through the straw and fell in." He then laughs his head off at the poem....until he realizes that the character probably drowned, and he reflects: "Hey, that's not funny; that's tragic!"

* From PhineasAndFerbAcrossTheSecondDimension: "I'm [[MadScientist Dr. Heinz]] [[ButtMonkey Doofenshmirtz]], but my friends call me... (beat) I just got in such a funk."

* During one of Rich Little's bits as Johnny Carson, a large black man complains of the stereotype of black men having large penises, when he has a small one, and complains that his last name of "Small" reflects that. They run through embarrassing celebrity last names, til "Carson" mentions "Rich ''Little''", pauses, and moans, "For some reason, that one really ''hurt''."

* Zack in the TropeOfTheWeek episode ''TerribleIntervieweesMontage''.

* An example from everybody's favorite prime time cartoon "{{The Simpsons}}", in the episode "Radioactive Man", Nelson tries out for the part of Fallout Boy. On being dismissed, he passes a mirror and gives himself his trademark "Ha-ha", followed by a sad "That hurt."

** Plus, Xander dating Demons starts to become a running gag, as everyone he's dated/screwed/kissed/has had a crush on him was or became at least part demon or super powerful (The Praying Mantis thing, Faith, Cordelia, Anya, Willow, and Dawn (the crush one, it was stated she had a crush on him) This gets lampshaded when Willow calls him a demon magnet at one point).

* The visual version in ''TheSimpsons'' episode "Marge in Chains" with Nelson:
-->'''Nelson: ''' "Hah-hah! Your mom's a jailbird! "
-->'''Bart: ''' "So's yours. "
-->'''Nelson: ''' (Pause) "Oh yeah. " *sigh* "Let's play. "
** Not really an example, because Nelson cheerfully asks Bart to play because they have something in common.

->''"Of course Fry still exists... as a frozen corpse in outer space! Ho ho ho ho ho... ({{beat}}) Oh...I made myself sad."''

* From ''{{Johnny Dangerously}}'': "Johnny Dangerously can't live a normal life! It ain't in the cards, is all. People like me, we're like... we're like shooting stars. We... we cross the sky, burning hot, for one moment in time, and then we... plunge to earth and disappear... Jesus Christ, I'm starting to upset myself."

* Invoked in the NostalgiaCritic's review of the dumbest moments in the ''{{Superman}}'' movies, when what he says that the movies reminds him of things like the tragic fates of Christoper Reeve, Margot Kidder and the World Trade Center.
