[[SubvertedTrope Subversions]] may or may not ensue, depending on whether the character performing the SoLongSuckers is a hero or a villain (it's way more likely in the latter case).

* In ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine'', as the submarine travels through the Sea of Monsters, at one point, it narrowly escapes being swallowed by a vacuum monster, after which one of the Beatles, probably George, says this phrase to the monster.

* On ''FamilyGuy'' one CutawayGag shows Quagmire doing this when he thinks he's the one getting the SpinOff.

* Pre-teen juvenile delinquent Audrey (played by Creator/JodieFoster) says this word-for-word after being liberated from jail.

* Subverted in ''TheIncredibles''. After being totally defeated, Syndrome gets to his airborne jet and gloats about how he is sure to escape and will return to claim Mr. Incredible's son someday. [[ShutUpHannibal Mr. Incredible takes this opportunity to throw a car at him,]] which results in his death.

* Dr. Shlock in ''SluggyFreelance'' [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/020807 tries to pull an escape after a long storyline of failed escapes]], using a [[SmokeOut smoke bomb to disappear in a literal puff of smoke]].

* In the [[HiveSeries HIVE series]], at least some of the protagonists do this at least once per book except in the first and seventh.

* In Power Rangers Dino Thunder, Trent pulls off a good one when he introduces the Dino atvs to the team, rigging one that the Black Ranger rides, and then escaping in his own, while saying "Later, Suckers!"

* In Power Rangers Dino Thunder, Trent pulls off a good one when he introduces the Dino ATVs to the team, rigging one that the Black Ranger rides, and then escaping in his own, while saying "Later, Suckers!"

* Massive subversion in ''TheSimpsons'' episode "Viva Ned Flanders". Drederick Tatem, several goons and miscellaneous Vegas types attempt to circle in on Homer and Ned to lay the smack down on them for deserting their Vegas-married wives. Homer and Ned then jump into a convertible, used as a prize at their casino. Homer just has time to say "So long, suck---" before they all catch up, which results in him and Flanders getting a massive beating from the assorted ensemble. HilarityEnsues.

* Happens in every episode of ''{{MASK}}'' -- even if the bad guys' team was on the brink of defeat, the BigBad was always able to transform his helicopter into a jet and escape.
* In the ''{{Futurama}}'' episode "Future Stock", [[NoNameGiven "80's Guy"]] becomes the new CEO of of Planet Express. Farnsworth, as he quits, gives him his "business plan". 80's Guy points out that "this isn't a business plan; it's an escape plan!" And before you know it, Farnsworth is making his escape while shouting the trope name verbatim.

* Done almost word-for-word in ''CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs''. As the [[spoiler: townspeople prepare to evacuate]] the Mayor rides up and declares "I have an important announcement...see y'ah, suckers!" [[spoiler: and jumps onto the first boat...[[TooDumbToLive Which he proceeds to eat.]]]]

* Troy, one of the villains in ''Film/TheGoonies'', uses this phrase when he sends Brand flying off the road at high speed.

* In ''DragonBallZAbridged'', Goku offers to let Vegeta go if he's sorry.

* ''MetalGearSolid4'' has a particularly humorous moment of this where Liquid Ocelot childishly mocks Snake as he flees to his command ship.

* In ''FinalFantasyX'', if you use the Flee command with Tidus to run from a battle, he'll spout a quick one-liner while the party escapes.
* In Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal, Dr. Nefarious pulls this in the final boss fight. He falls to the ground begging for mercy, and Ratchet falls for it believing he's given up, as Dr. Nefarious quickly escapes shouting "Suckers!", much to Ratchet's irritation.

* In ''{{Bananas}}'', WoodyAllen's character says this and gets knocked out a moment later.

* Turned into an OverlyLongGag in ''Film/DespicableMe'', when Gru's Minion successfully snags the shrink-ray but repeatedly ''fails'' to get out the way he came, thanks to this trope.

* Odysseus and the Cyclops.

* ''LupinIII'', almost all episodes, with Lupin taunting Zenigata.

* The FinalBoss fight in ''HalfLife 2'' is an extended version of this trope. [[spoiler:Gordon Freeman must chase the fleeing Wallace Breen as he rides a [[AppliedPhlebotinum Dark Energy]]-fueled teleporter to the top of the Citadel; the final portion features Breen gloating rather extensively while Freeman tears apart the device bit by bit using stray balls of Dark Energy. "When the singularity collapses, I will be far away from here - in another universe, as a matter of fact. You on the other hand will be destroyed in every way it is possible to be destroyed, and even in some, which are essentially impossible!" Boy, is he surprised when you blow his ride apart.]]

* Done almost word-for-word in ''CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs''. As the [[spoiler: townspeople prepare to evacuate]] the Mayor rides up and declares "I have an important announcement...see y'ah, suckers!" [[spoiler: and jumps onto the first boat.]]
