History Main / SoLongSuckers

** ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' has a... musical version of this, to say the least.
* After a while in ''VideoGame/XCOMUFODefense'', the aliens do this to your Interceptors with irritating regularity.

* In ''VideoGame/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 ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal'', 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.

* Massive subversion in ''WesternAnimation/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.
** Said again by Homer in a later episode, who follows it with "Eat my dust, suckers!" An annoyed Marge then says "Stop calling everyone suckers!"
** Similarly subverted in another episode where Bart trolls a parent-teacher group by showing them a slide of his butt, tries to escape after yelling "so long suckers!"... and is left dangling when the cord breaks.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{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.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' episode, "Baby Face"; Timmy meets an adult who was left behind 60 years ago by his parents and since then, he's trying to escape, saying this phrase word-by-word. [[SubvertedTrope He always gets caught]] until a wall gets broke and he finally escapes.

* ''Anime/NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater'', as Nadia, Jean and the QuirkyMinibossSquad are escaping from the Tower of Babel.

[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* In ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'', 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 ''WesternAnimation/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.

** Simarly subverted in another episode where Bart trolls a parent teacher group by showing them a slide of his butt, tries to escape after yelling "so long suckers!"... and is left dangling when the cord breaks.
** A combination subversion and straight-play happens in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie'', when Homer escapes from the mob. He yells "So long, Losers!" and salutes the mob and proceeds to jump into the sand box as he flips them off.

** In "Fear of a Bot Planet", Fry, Leela and Bender escape from human-hating robots on the winch of the Planet Express ship. Fry shouts the line; the robots stand on each others shoulders, and almost reach the winch. Fry says: "Uh, hello, suckers!

[[folder:Film]]
* ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl'': "Gentlemen, this is the day you will always remember as the day you ''almost'' caught Captain Jack Sparrow." Hilariously, the only time [[CatchphraseInterruptus he's allowed to say the whole thing]], he ''gets caught''.
* In the second ''[[Film/ScoobyDooMonstersUnleashed Scooby Doo]]'' movie, a prisoner is shown in flashback delivering this line as he escapes from jail... only to [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat fall to his death from the roof]]. [[spoiler:Only he's NotQuiteDead...]]
-->'''Prisoner:''' So long, suckers! ''[escape-wings begin to fail]'' HELP ME, SUCKEEEEEEEEEEERS!!!
* A textbook example occurs at the end of ''Film/TheRocketeer'', complete with one-liner and swift ironic death. "I'll miss Hollywood."
* [[{{Narm}} Narmful]] example in ''Film/MortalKombatAnnihilation'', as Scorpion teleports out with a cry of "Suuckeers!"
* Troy, one of the minor antagonists in ''Film/TheGoonies'', uses this phrase when he sends Brand flying off the road at high speed.

* In ''Film/{{Bananas}}'', Creator/WoodyAllen's character Fielding Mellish says this and gets knocked out a moment later.
** Some years earlier, in ''Film/CasinoRoyale1967'', he's at a Latin American firing squad -- his last cigarette is a concussion bomb he throws at the shooters. He climbs the wall chuckling "So long, suckers!" -- and lands on the other side in another country, in front of a firing squad for another guy.
* 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 George says this phrase to the monster.

* Turned into an OverlyLongGag in ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'', when Gru's Minion successfully snags the shrink-ray but repeatedly ''fails'' to get out the way he came, thanks to this trope.
* Pre-teen juvenile delinquent Audrey (played by Creator/JodieFoster) says this word-for-word after being liberated from jail in ''Film/AliceDoesntLiveHereAnymore''.
* Bing Bong says this in ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'' when trying to run from Joy who was chasing him after throwing a green memory sphere as a diversion. It fails because he bumps into a cart of memories.
* The last lines of ''Film/ProblemChild 3: Junior in Love'' by Junior.
* {{Subverted|Trope}} in ''Film/ThisIsTheEnd''. When Creator/JamesFranco is being ascended into Heaven, he gloats to Creator/DannyMcBride and his gang of cannibals of his departure. However, this naturally backfires on Franco as he is both rejected from Heaven and [[CruelAndUnusualDeath eaten alive by [=McBride=]]].
-->'''Franco:''' [[IShallTauntYou Go to hell, [=McBride=]! Fuck you! Ha, ha! Suck my dick!]] ''(the beam that was dragging him up to Heaven disappears and he falls to the ground)'' What happened? What did I do? Take me back!\\
'''[=McBride=]:''' I'll tell you what happened, Franco. You don't get to get sucked up into heaven because you were being [[TheNameIsBondJamesBond petty; Tom Petty]]. [[PreMortemOneLiner You may not have invited me to your party, but you're the guest of honor at mine.]] ''(chews up Franco's face along with the other cannibals)''

* Done almost word-for-word in ''WesternAnimation/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.]]]]

-->'''Franco:''' [[IShallTauntYou Go to hell, [=McBride=]! Fuck you! Ha, ha! Suck my dick!]] ''(the beam that was dragging him up to Heaven disappears and he falls to the ground.)'' What happened? What did I do? Take me back!\\

* The last lines of Problem Child 3: Junior in Love by Junior.

* Odysseus and the Cyclops: As Odysseus is escaping the now-blind Polyphemus, he yells that his name is "No one". When the other cyclopses come to help, Polyphemus tells them "No one has blinded me!". So they think he got drunk and put his eye out somehow.

* When Lance [[http://www.goldcoincomics.com/?id=64 finally encounters Blake]] in ''Gold Coin Comics'', they duel. After Blake loses, he flees after not explaining anything about his presence there.

'''[=McBride=]:''' I'll tell you what happened, Franco. You didn't get sucked up into heaven because you were being [[TheNameIsBondJamesBond petty; Tom Petty]].

* The FinalBoss fight in ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' 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.]]

This time it sure looks like it's over: the heroes have been captured by the BigBad, who is [[EvilGloating gloating]] and enumerating the ways he's going to kill them. But wait! [[BigDamnHeroes Someone]] (or [[DeusExMachina something]]) suddenly shows up, a [[ReverseMole defector]] reveals himself or the heroes [[UnspokenPlanGuarantee put their plan into action]], [[VillainExitStageLeft giving them the chance they need to escape]] and leaving the foe staring at them as they run off while delivering a final taunt: "So long, sucker!"

--> ''Clara'': You really are thick, aren't you? The Doctor is back on Gallifrey. Took him four-and-half-billion years to get here. What do you think he's going to do now? [[SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound VWORP VWORP]] Why, he's stealing a TARDIS and running away. Bye!

* In ''VideoGame/TheAmazonTrail 3rd Edition'', you can say this almost word-for-word after tricking [[KickTheSonOfABitch Lope de Aguirre]] into consuming a randomized medicinal plant that can either cause vomiting, insanity when taken while healthy, or even ''paralysis if too much is taken''.

* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novel ''Discworld/{{Maskerade}}'', Greebo (in his [[HumanityEnsues human form]]) taunts an angry mob from the back of a moving carriage. Unfortunately, since he's too busy taunting to steer, the carriage hits a curb and he ends up falling off.

* In the WesternAnimation/BugsBunny cartoon ''WesternAnimation/HareLift'', bank-robber Yosemite Sam shoots this line to Bugs as he bails out of their crashing plane with the only remaining parachute. Unfortunately for Sam, he lands right in an open-top police car filled with angry officers.

* ''ALIEN!!!'' The Emergency Homophobic Hologram gives this trope as he orders the ship's computer to download him electronically into the EscapePod, leaving the crew trapped on board the ''[[Film/{{Alien}} Nostromo]]'' which is about to self-destruct. The computer, in a HeroicBSOD because it's going to be blown up with the ship, flat-out [[KickTheSonOfABitch refuses to help]].
