Coyote, being mute, often holds up a [[TalkingWithSigns sign]] saying "YIPE!" or something similar (like writing his will during a long drop) just as he's about to get hammered or take one of his very long falls.

** Ron Stoppable in has a variation of this trope line when he sees something that could very well do the duo in (but, to him, looks freaking awesome), saying, "That would be so cool if..." followed usually by "it wasn't going to hurt us."
** There are variations of it, with the most obvious change being in the ''So The Drama'' movie, when Ron comes face to face with the full size Diablo for the first time, possibly in response to the movie being [[SeriesFauxnale the would've-been series finale]].
