History OhCrap / LiveACtionTV

* ''Series/ControlZ'': When Natalia uses a ''sugar daddy'' app as a mean to collect the money for the drug dealers, she is matched with an older guy who arranges a reservation for them at a restaurant. However, she is shocked to realize that it is Javier's wealthy father. In response, Natalia sheepishly rushes out of the place and the situation is worsened when Javier catches them together.

** River Tam adopts this look in "Ariel" when she realizes the [[ThoseTwoBadGuys Hands of Blue]] are coming.

** In "[[{{Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E23IBorg}} I Borg]]", the entire senior staff has one when they realize that the wreckage they are investigating is a Borg vessel, and there's a survivor. Picard is so shocked, he [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness briefly entertains]] Worf's suggestion that they kill the drone, make its death look like an accident, and get the hell out of there. That [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy honor-obsessed]] Worf is the one to suggest that course of action speaks to the horror of the situation.

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone'':

---->'''G'kar:''' "This."\\

---->'''Londo:''' "Hello Refa. If you're seeing this message, it is because in a very few minutes you will be dead. I have made sure that the guards assigned to you are loyal to House Mollari."

---->'''Londo''': "Yes, your ships are very impressive in the air, or in space. But at this moment they are ''on the ground''."\\
'''Morden''': "Right...they're on the ground...but they can sense an approaching ship miles away! So what are you going to do, Mollari? [[TemptingFate Blow up the island?]]"\\
'''Londo''': "Actually...now that you mention it..." ''[produces detonator from his jacket]''\\

--> '''Faith:''' "OhCrap. Hey, little, when you said we'd have to fight 'Quor'toth itself,' what did you mean?"
--> '''Demon:''' "The Old One who gives this world it's name. Why?"

-->[''The Inquisitor opens his helmet, revealing Rimmer's face underneath'']
-->'''Rimmer!Inquisitor:''' ...Yourself!
-->'''Rimmer:''' Oh, smeg!
-->'''Rimmer!Inquisitor:''' "Oh smeg!" indeed, matey.

--->'''Locutus:''' "The knowledge and experience of the human Picard is [[TheAssimilator part of us]], now. It has prepared us for all possible courses of action. Your resistance is hopeless...[[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay Number One]]"

* ''Series/StargateAtlantis'': Rodney is very fond of voicing "Oh Crap" word for word, though he usually quickly comes up with some technobabble solution to the problem he's just spotted with the earlier planned idea. His "Oh Crap" expression is hilarious too. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yig5CBGPzs Here]]'s a truly epic scene from the second season where it's being delivered by, of all people, '''Hermiod'''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKgk3deqEbo Another scene]] when McKay tries to stand up to two Wraith single-handedly.

----

* ''Series/TwentyFour'': Alan Wilson has an "OhCrap" look about him at the conclusion of Season Seven when he realises he is about to be tortured by Renee Walker.

--> '''Phil Coulson''' ''grabbing Aida)'': Maybe not. But I'm pretty sure ''he'' can. [[spoiler: The Ghost Rider has a new host - Agent Coulson, as she finds out.]]

* ''Series/AlloAllo'': Seems to happen to Rene at least once an episode. Perhaps most memorably at the start of season 8, when Rene is recounting how all his problems have finally been solved, only to have [[Main/TheMistress Yvette]] announce [[spoiler: that she is pregnant]].

** A wonderfully humorous moment in "[[{{Recap/AngelS02E11Redefinition}} Redefinition]]" from season two has Drusilla, fresh off a series of her long-winded and insane ramblings, regarding a seriously ticked off Angel who had just killed all ten of the 'elite' warriors that Darla was trying to raise to cause a little havoc. Her reaction? "Shit." [[spoiler: And then he lights them both on fire, using the cigarette dangling from his mouth and an as-yet unnoticed trail of gasoline. Darla has another Oh Crap moment when she DOES notice, too late.]]

** Late in season 1, when Oliver confronts the architect of the Undertaking, his reaction is an unspoken "oh crap" when the man catches his arrow, revealing himself as the Dark Archer. After the ensuing fight, the Dark Archer mutters "oh no" to himself, [[spoiler:having just beaten up his son's best friend]].

** Andrew gets one in the season seven episode "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E9NeverLeaveMe}} Never Leave Me]]" when he runs into Willow in the butcher shop. His subsequent reaction indicates that she's probably had a recurring role in his nightmares.

* ''Series/{{Chuck}}'': Happens a fair amount, mostly to the Bad Guy du Jour when they realize they're beaten. When Chuck solved the slide puzzle on top of the box thought to contain a deadly chemical weapon [[spoiler: which actually contained a knock-off Kool-Aid flavor]], he and Sarah had a great Oh, Crap moment. And a similar one when Dr. Wheelwright, played by Freddy Krueger himself --- Creator/RobertEnglund --- set off his fear toxin on himself and Chuck. And a big one when Chuck realized that [[spoiler: Shaw]] really was working for the Ring. Almost too many to count, really.

** In season one, a smarmy young punk killed his parent's Mexican maid, and then skipped down to Mexico with tons of money to live in luxury until the police lost interest in him. Brenda went down to Mexico and asked the Mexican police to help her interview the punk, who was arrogant and insulting, until Brenda said that they didn't have enough evidence to indict him, so they would indict his mother, unless the punk admitted to the killing, preventing Brenda from going after the mother. The punk laid out the whole crime, finishing with "But you can't arrest me because you have no jurisdiction here." Brenda agreed, but then pointed out that the two Mexican police officers standing behind the punk spoke excellent English and just heard him confess to killing a Mexican citizen. Cue an epic OhCrap moment as the punk realizes that he will spend the rest of his life as an American in a Mexican prison. He is dragged away screaming and begging to be extradited to Brenda's jurisdiction, to no avail.

** Dexter gets one of these moments at the beginning of season 2, when he watches the news and sees that divers discovered the bodies dumped by him.
** In season four: "Hello...''Dexter Morgan.''" A dangerous serial killer who he has been hanging out with has just discovered Dexter's real identity.
** In the season 5 finale, the Big Bad thinks he has Dexter dead to rights. He unrolls Dexter's knife satchel, gloating and taunting...until he realizes that one of the knives is missing.
** At the end of season six: "''[[OhCrap Oh God]]''." His sister and boss at work Debra has just come to his kill-room.
** Isaak has one when he enters a Colombian bar on episode 5 of season 7. It's full of hitmen who are supposed to get him.

* In the Season One finale of ''Series/TheGoodPlace'', Eleanor drops her smugness and quickly goes into panic mode when Michael reveals that he is able to easily [[spoiler:erase her memory and reset his neighborhood/torture chamber]].

** Colonel Hogan gets one when he realizes that the fake bomb he's pretending to disarm is actually a real, live bomb--and that since it's right on top of Carter's portion of the tunnel, he has to go ahead and really disarm it.

** At the end of the season 5 finale when [[spoiler:House realises the hallucinations have not gone away, but gotten worse as imaginary Amber and Kutner show up to mock him, followed by what he thought was a lipstick tube in his hand being revealed as a vicodin bottle, meaning he'd gone from merely seeing people who he knew weren't there to full-blown losing track of reality, no words are said but the look is one of the strongest examples of this trope ever. He still has it as he's being driven to the rehab/asylum at the end]].

** There's another great moment in the Season One episode, "The Troubles" where the accused is an IRA insurgent, Ian O'Connell, who's charged with killing a convict he was handcuffed to for squealing on the IRA. A third convict was also handcuffed to the victim at the time and is later murdered by another IRA member. O'Connell's defense is that while he's a proud member of the IRA, he's also an ActualPacifist who's never committed a violent act himself. After O'Connell states this on the witness stand, Stone then calls a SurpriseWitness to undermine O'Connell's credibility on this, a woman who's husband and five year old daughter were both killed by an explosion from a bomb she had witnessed O'Connell place near them. All Stone has to do is state the name of the witness, Mrs. Bridget [=McDiarmid=], and the instant OhCrap that appears on both O'Connell and his lawyer's face is priceless. It's clear they both already know who she is and just how screwed they now are.

** In "The First David Job", Eliot has this reaction upon discovering the woman he's been hitting on all evening - fairly successfully - is his boss's ex-wife.

** Nathan, trying to activate his dormant superpowers, decides to sit in a shopping trolley at the top of a very steep embankment in an attempt to see if he can [[IntangibleMan phase through solid objects at high speed.]] Since he's only stopping himself from rolling down the hill by holding onto a nearby railing, he's naturally a little hesistant, so he decides to turn around and check the back of the trolley for brakes- and accidentally lets go of the wall. He has just enough time to shout "Oh, SHIT!" before the trolley starts moving.

** Two episodes later, Simon gets another moment when he realises that Sally the probation worker has stolen his mobile phone- the mobile phone with the evidence of Tony's death on it. Cue open-mouthed gape of horror.

** In the episode "The Legend," Rudd (the BigBad of the week) is orchestrating a plan to return Nazis to power via a dummy pretending to be Martin Bormann. Rollin, who's there pretending to be one of the wealthy men involved, finds this out - and pulls the rug from under the leader by pretending to be Martin Bormann himself. The OhCrap expression on Rudd's face when he sees him - and ''knows'' he's fake, but can't expose him without showing he himself has been lying all along - is absolutely '''priceless'''.

** Usually had more than one of these moments in each episode. The first two or three were generally phony - the viewer didn't know if Jim Phelps' convoluted plan was about to blow up or not. The last one was when the villain finally realized that he had been played like a kazoo.

*** And when Michael tells Pam that he's seeing someone, Pam asks who it is - Jim, who's stood next to Pam, ''immediately'' looks into the camera like he's frightened for his life.

** ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' also gives us a few good ones. Rita's shocked "Huh?!" after the Mega Dragonzord vaporizes Mutitus, and a few "Uh-oh"s on some occasions when she sees her monster is about to be defeated. In the third season her [[DemBones skeletal]] brother Rito Revolto also delivers a priceless "Uh-oh" when he sees the Ninja Mega Falconzord about to pound him. Then in ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'' Rita and Zedd both have an OhCrap moment when they see the Machine Empire arriving, and flee in Serpentera. Rita even had one very early in the series. When the Rangers weren't quite used to their zord configurations yet, the individual zords battled King Sphinx and Goldar, then formed Megazord Tank Mode, then for the second time ever (it seemed the first time Zordon did it for them), they formed Megazord Battle Mode (the familiar humanoid Megazord we all know and love). Rita let out a freaked out "uh-oh" when seeing the Megazord formed, knowing her monster was about to die.

** As does [[spoiler: Apophis]] in the season 5 premiere, immediately before being ([[DeathIsCheap finally]]) KilledOffForReal.

** We get a pretty epic one at the end of season four, because it doesn't get much worse than [[spoiler:finding out that you've just accidentally unleashed Lucifer when you were trying to prevent exactly that.]]
** In season five, the gang has gone to considerable effort to get the Colt, which was the AppliedPhlebotinum of the first two seasons and will kill anything. They sacrifice two of their own to get into a position to use it on Lucifer. [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu Dean shoots the Devil in the head]]. Aaaaand...he gets back up. [[BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu Whoops]].
** But in the final episode of season five, when ArchangelLucifer tells Sam and Dean he knows they have the one thing that can trap him, in such a confident way as to explain that's not a problem, Dean can't even ''try'' to mask this face.
** OhCrap reactions all around at the end of season six. Raphael gets a quiet and terrified one when [[spoiler: she realizes that Castiel has absorbed the souls of Purgatory, [[AGodAmI becoming a new god.]]]] Ditto for the brothers and Bobby, who saw the entire thing, and were then told to [[spoiler:bow down or be killed]].

* ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'': There are times when it seems the team has perfected these. A great example is the penultimate season two episode "Fragments" when [[spoiler: all the team members except Gwen encounter bombs set to go off in mere moments]]. Cue facials.

* ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen'': At the end of episode #40, titled "Can You Eat Human Flesh with Wooden Teeth?", Alan Harper says "Oh Crap" when he forgets to pick up his ex-wife Judith at the airport. To make matters worse, [[spoiler: it was raining outside.]]

** In season 5, Stefan comments to Tessa that he thought the witch Qetsiyah was crazy and insane. Then he gets this reaction upon realizing that Tessa ''is'' Qetsiyah (and she's not pleased with the comment).

** Cromwell and Richard Crammer give each other this kind of look when Henry start saying that Anne Boleyn "bewitched" him into marriage--in other words, he wants to get rid of her, and if he doesn't get what he wants?

** In "Going, Going, Gone", a BruceLeeClone manages to punch Wonder Woman in her stomach...twice. She doesn't even flinch. This leads to his clearly visible "OhCrap" expression.

** In "Fausta the Nazi Wonder Woman", Wonder Woman is straped to a table and bereft of her lasso and belt of strength. The arrogantly disbelieving Nazi officer throws throws them in disgust...right into her hands. In about the same time it takes for him to say "Oh Crap!", she's snapped her bonds, beaten up all the soldiers in the room. and ripped the phone off the wall that he's desperately using to call for back up.
** In "Going, Going, Gone", a Bruce Lee clone manages to punch Wonder Woman in her stomach...twice. She doesn't even flinch. This leads to his clearly visible "Oh Crap!" expression.

* The [[PowerAtAPrice Hazard]] [[DeadlyUpgrade Trigger]] in ''Series/KamenRiderBuild'' actually ''announces'' Oh Crap whenever Sento transforms into it. [[SuperpoweredEvilSide For good reason.]]

* In the final episode of ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'', everything seems to have turned out relatively well, all things considered. Super Apollo Geist is dead, the crisis is averted...then Natsumi has a flashback to that dream she's been having.
* In ''Series/KamenRiderDragonKnight'', for a brief moment as the 13 riders are pulling their Link Vent cards out, Xaviax smug exterior actually slips into a facial expression picturing that he realized how much screwed he is.
** The moment when Torque unleashes his Final Vent. Even transformed, the way Wing Knight takes one look at Magnugiga powering up and stops short before he legs it just says it all.
* Haruto in ''Series/KamenRiderWizard'' has a few priceless ones when getting important plot points.

* ''Series/TeenWolf'': Scott has one in the pilot when he learns that the werewolf hunter from the forest is the father of the girl he has the hots for.

* ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk'': Usually OncePerEpisode (or twice), the bad guys who are [[MuggingTheMonster violent towards David Banner]], leading to his [[HulkingOut transformation]] into the titular character, have this reaction when they see an angry green giant roaring at them.

* ''Series/AlexRider'': When Smithers realises that ''not'' all the [[spoiler: Greif clones]] are accounted for. [[spoiler: And the missing one is a duplicate of Alex.]]

* ''77 Sunset Strip'': On the episode “Secret Island”, Stu Bailey and some other survivors of a plane crash arrive on a small tropical island. Finding a tower, he climbs to the top to survey the surroundings. The first thing he sees is a giant bulls-eye painted on the beach. (This was before the nuclear test-ban treaty.) They later find a boat that looks sea-worthy enough to get them to safety, but when they shove it in the water, all they can do is watch as it quickly fills with water and sinks.

* ''Series/{{CSI NY}}'':
** In "Food for Thought," Danny asks Lindsay what she wants for lunch not too long after Lucy's birth. She responds with a whole list of foods, and Danny gets this kind of look. She has to reassure him she isn't pregnant again.

** Played well with Cordelia when she finds herself transported to Pylea, a hell dimension. Looking around at the primeval forest, she loudly enunciates "Oh. Crap."

** A particularly good example has Wolfram & Hart, the evil corporation that has been trying to make Angel's life Hell and profits on people's misery, being trapped by Darla and Drusilla. Angel enters in an expected BigDamnHeroes moment, only to subvert it by saying he won't save them. The look on Holland Manners' face is brilliant. He pleads "People are going to die!", only for Angel to [[IronicEcho echo]] his earlier comments: "And yet, somehow, I just can't seem to care." It's the first major sign of Angel's descent, but it's hard not to cheer for the LaserGuidedKarma the lawyers received.

** Warren when he learns that Buffy survived being shot.
** When Xander sees Warren show up in "Enemies".

** "Chosen": as Spike so eloquently puts it [[spoiler:before a pillar of lethal sunlight burts through the ceiling onto his head-]]

** In the first ''Spike'' comic of the Season 9 comics, Spike is knocked out and up by a group of demons who want to steal his spaceship. Said demons walk onto the ship, asking the last three remaining cockroach aliens(who have become Spike's lackeys),
