* In ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'', Kaname tends to yell this whenever Sousuke does something insane. More often than not, he proceeds to explain the ridiculously complicated terrorist plot that he foiled to justify his actions. Sometimes the plot is even real.

Apparently, he thought that since ORB had successfully hidden [[CoolShip the Archangel]] from them two years ago, but not even in anime do politics bend to the RuleOfCool...
* These exact words are used in ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' when the Tendos, particularly [[BewareTheNiceOnes Kasumi]], [[WhatTheHellHero call Genma out]] for taking his son to the cursed training ground of Jusenkyo. To the annoyance of some readers, though, this is only in the very first chapter of the manga, and nobody so much as raises an eyebrow when Genma later reveals he taught Ranma the [[HarmfulToMinors Nekoken]] because he was too lazy to read the next page, [[NowYouTellMe which warned]] that the technique [[SanityHasAdvantages invariably drove trainees insane]] and was [[UselessUsefulSpell too stupid to use, anyway]]. [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation Although]], it's entirely possible that people stopped asking this of him because they realized [[WhatAnIdiot it just wouldn't do any damned good.]]
