3->''"They're eating her! Then they're going to eat me! OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!"''
4-->-- '''Arnold''', ''Film/Troll2''

6Sometimes, an astonished someone just has to scream: '''"OH MY GOD!!!"'''
7In media intended for children, the mild oath can sometimes serve as a PrecisionFStrike.
8
9Anime that use this as GratuitousEnglish are always strange because they enunciate it like a ValleyGirl -- but they obviously intended the less... silly version. It's routinely abbreviated as OMG when typing, and sometimes the ValleyGirl will literally say the letters, "OMG!"
10
11Note that the Big "OMG!" in more intimate situations has [[TheImmodestOrgasm its own trope]].
12
13Rarely does their god ''answer'', no matter how loud they shout. Someone in the room [[AnswersToTheNameOfGod with delusions of divinity]] might, though.

15Compare BigNo, BigWhat, BigWhy, BigWordShout, SayMyName.

21[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
22* Pictured above, Joseph Joestar's GratuitousEnglish catchphrase in ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders''.
23* In ''Anime/HauntedJunction'', Haruto ends every episode with this.
24* Principal Kuno of ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' [[GratuitousEnglish used this a lot]].
25* So does the soldier in ''Literature/FullMetalPanic'' who loses the bingo game and so also loses the prize of a kiss from the lovely Captain Tessa.
26* In ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'', Osaka has a memetic DreamSequence in which she utters one of these upon meeting Chiyo-Chichi: [[GratuitousEnglish "Oh, my gaaahd!"]]
27* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dJ-C-1Hrw0 This scene]] from the anime ''Manga/{{Karin}}''. It's also an example of a BigNo
28* On ''Anime/YuGiOh'', a flashback of Pegasus finding Egyptian carvings had him shout [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkXJCepZqAc "Jeeeesus!"]] in bad English. At least in the Japanese version. In the Japanese version, Bandit Keith screamed "Oh My God!" after his humiliating defeat at the hands of a little boy.
29** ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'' gives Crow a rather hilarious GratuitousEnglish "OH MY GOD!" Again, only in Japan.
30* Escargon gives one in episode 88 of ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa'', when his shell starts to crack.
31* In the Creator/FUNimation dub of the Studio Shaft ''Anime/NegimaSecondSeason'', Haruna gets one of these after seeing her Pactio's powers.
32* Kawamura from ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis'' uses this quite often, among his other GratuitousEnglish, when he's playing tennis. There is one episode where he repeats the phrase over and over, getting louder each time, until he finally shouts it to the skies in a long, drawn-out "OH MY GOOOOOOOD!!!".
33* In one of the ''Anime/LupinIII'' movies, a truck driver leaps out of his exploding semi (it got hit with a missile, long story) screaming "JEEEESUUUUUUS!!" Particularly egregious because that's the ONLY case of GratuitousEnglish in a movie set almost entirely in America. Other yells of fear, horror, or surprise by background characters are in the original Japanese, with subtitles.
34* In the original Japanese version of ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie'', the Trainer Ash fights in the beginning shouts this out, in [[GratuitousEnglish English]], after Pikachu fries all his Pokemon.
35* You can always tell when things are getting really bad on ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'', because that's usually when Swan belts a variation on this phrase out.
36* Momoko from ''Anime/OjamajoDoremi'' loves saying "Oh my God!" a lot.
37* Garterbelt from ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' when [[spoiler:he dies]], accompanied by a [[InvertedTrope literally-inverted]] [[Main/MemeticMutation GOD!! MY!! OH!!!!]] [[spoiler: [[UnexplainedRecovery when he comes back]].]]
38* In one of the earlier episodes of ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', Gai responses to Kakashi's ignorance to [[UnknownRival whatever he's planning with this]]. Japanese version exclusive.
39* A villain of the week screams this in ''Anime/SamuraiChamploo'' when he is about to get crushed by, fittingly, a giant crucifix.
40* The ending to ''Manga/BioMeatNectar''. Understandable, given that [[spoiler:the poor American soldiers just heard that the [[{{Eagleland}} US of A]] is going to start making USBM [[PoorCommunicationKills again]]]].
41* [[TheCharmer Ricardo Fellini]] from ''Anime/GundamBuildFighters'' bellows out a massive one (and in ''[[GratuitousForeignLanguage Italian]]'', no less) when the girl he was flirting with minutes ago left while he was pre-occupied with Reiji.
42* Not in the anime itself, but in the audio drama on one of the soundtrack albums for the series, the Gundam Fighters from ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' are waiting to get into a theater to see a movie about them. Domon gets so excited and confused that he summons his God Gundam ''in the middle of a crowded street'', promtping Chibodee to scream "OH MY GOD!" while Rain calls Domon an idiot.
43* Nui Harime in ''Anime/KillLaKill'' utters a rapid fire version of this after [[spoiler:Ryuko claims both Scissor Blades and slices her arms off]].
44* Mari Ohara in ''Anime/LoveLiveSunshine'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYMLbBG1dOg lets one out]] after Aqours passes the qualifiers.
45* ''Manga/PokemonZensho'' involves one chapter where Satoshi fights Lt. Surge, who speaks English in some of his words. When his Electabuzz is defeated by Satoshi's Charmeleon, Lt. Surge reponds with "OH! MY GOD!!"
46* ''Anime/MyHeroAcademiaTrainingOfTheDead'': Romero Fujimi's reaction to getting bitten by a zombie Bakugo.
47[[/folder]]
48
49[[folder:Comic Books]]
50* ''[[ComicBook/KickAss Hit Girl]]'' issue #3 is titled '''OMG!'''
51* [=OMGs=] fly frequently throughout the ''ComicBook/JohnnyTurbo'' comic-styled advertisements. [[http://sardoose.rustedlogic.net/reviews/jturbo/jturbo3-3.htm One]] might even rival the trope picture.
52* ''ComicBook/LoboTheLastCzarnian'': Vril yells this when he learned that Lobo is at Revel-7.
53[[/folder]]
54
55[[folder:Fan Works]]
56* In the ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' fic [[http://www.archiveofourown.org/works/6210256/ BonAnniversairePrincess]], this is Alya's reaction after finding out that Marinette, who, thanks to [[AlphaBitch Chloè's]] scheming, was left completely alone on her birthday, has ended up going out to dinner with Chat Noir, who's chronicling the whole thing on his Instagram account. Her outburst gets Chloè and everyone else's attention and gives Alya the perfect opening to rub it in her face.
57* ''Fanfic/TheGolds'': Mr. Gold and Katja's reaction when they realized Mr. Gold's pains are coming from Rose in labor.
58* ''Fanfic/JojosAlienAdventure'': Joseph Joestar's response to Ben transforming into Four Arms before him, Jotaro, and Avdol, while also dropping the bombshell that aliens are real is his catchphrase as mentioned above.
59--> OH! MY! GOOOOOOOOOOOD!
60* In ''Fanfic/TheLegendOfTotalDramaIsland'', people say variations ("Oh gosh" and so on) as well as stronger things in various situations; but when somebody says the exact words, "Oh my God", it means the speaker thinks someone's life is in grave and usually immediate danger.
61* ''Webcomic/NaruHinaChronicles'': This is Kiba's reaction when he realizes that [[ThanksForTheMammary he accidentally grabbed Hinata's left breast instead of her left hand]].
62* In the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' fanfic ''Fanfic/{{Pokempanions}}'''s opener, "Mon in the Moon", Minun shouts a big "OH MY ARCEUS!!" when the gang's makeshift zipline starts to fail.
63* ''Fanfic/TruePotential'': Ino, who has been trying to find the perfect girlfriend for Shino, mentally screams "OH MY GOD!" when she sees [[NotSoStoic the Aburame blushing]] while [[spoiler:talking to Fū]] and realizes the latter is perfect for him.
64* In the ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' SlashFic ''Why Janeway Doesn't Have Sex, or the Seven Solution'', Captain Janeway gives a Big OMG in [[TheImmodestOrgasm response to simulation]] and Seven of Nine responds, "I have not yet [[AnswersToTheNameOfGod reached that level of perfection]]."
65* When Nino finds Marinette in Chapter 1 of the ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' fic ''Fanfic/WontTellASoul'', both of them said it after [[TheUnmasking he found out]]
66-->'''Ladybug:''' Oh my god.\
67'''Nino:''' Oh my god.\
68'''Ladybug:''' Oh my god!\
69'''Nino:''' [=OH MY GOD=]!\
70'''Ladybug:''' Nino, shut up!\
71'''Nino:''' [[TheUnintelligible STAFHKSOIFHKS]].

74[[folder:Films - Animated]]
75* In ''WesternAnimation/EightCrazyNights'', Davey has one when he sees that his trailer has caught fire.
76* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'', we get this exchange from Pain and Panic when they recognize Hercules' name:
77-->'''Pain:''' Wait a minute, wasn't Hercules the name of [[ExplainExplainOhCrap that kid we were supposed to...]]\
78'''Pain & Panic''': OH, MY GODS! RUN FOR IT! (''Hades grabs them'')
79* ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant'':
80** Kent when he notices half of his car is destroyed.
81** Also hilariously done when Hogarth says it during dinner and he's just noticed the giant's hand in the living room... and he turns it into part of the prayer he's saying.
82* Dr. Cockroach has one of these in ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens.'' The twist? [[spoiler: It's a ''literal'' "Oh-em-GEE!"]]
83* The pre-movie short "All's Fair in Love & Friendship Games" in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames'': Sweetie Drops and Lyra give a G-rated variant when they hear about the Friendship Games tryouts.
84-->'''Sweetie Drops:''' O.\
85'''Lyra:''' M.\
86'''Both:''' Goodness!
87* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', Mei tries to hide in the bathroom after transforming at school, but another girl, Stacy, comes out of a stall and starts to shout "O... M..." before Mei covers her face with one giant paw and slowly pushes her back into the stall. Later Stacy sees Mei's arm become furry as she throws a dodgeball, connects the dots, and has the exact same reaction upon seeing a transformed Mei in the bathroom soon after.

90[[folder:Films - Live-Action]]
91* In a movie that consists of Ray Bradbury vignettes, the segment dealing with "the Veldt" ends with a psychologist discovering that two kids have fed their parents to lions in a "virtual" nursery. His reaction? [[{{Narm}} A deadpan "Oh my god..."]]
92* ''Film/{{Troll 2}}'' shows [[Narm/{{Film}} how not]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyophYBP_w4 to say it.]]
93** In Spanish, "¡Dios míoooooooooooooo!"
94** The worst part about it? Listen to the very end. He's not actually shouting "Oh my God!", he's shouting "Oh my ''Gosh''!" - though it might just be a case of GoshDangItToHeck. Hopefully.
95*** His scream fails so hard to inspire fear that not even that fly on his forehead is convinced to move away.
96* ''Film/TheGoonies'' loves this. "Oh my God" is stated ''17'' times, spoken by 7 characters. Some of the more drawn out ones include:
97** Mikey and Chunk when Chunk breaks the small statue of David.
98** Brand when he's about to fly off the road at high speed on a child-sized bicycle.
99** Stef and Andi when they step on the rake.
100** Mouth and Stef when they spot the pirate ship for the first time.
101** Mama Fratelli when Mouth spits out all the jewels he was hiding.
102** And finally topped off by the sheriff with "Holy Mary, mother of God" when he sees the pirate ship sailing off at the end.
103* In ''Film/TheWickerMan1973'', Sgt. Howie lets out a few of these in the final scene, as well as a well-delivered BigNo. Given Howie's strict Christianity, it seems likely that he is deliberately invoking God, rather than simply using the Big Man's name as an expletive.
104-->''"Oh My God! Oh, Jesus Christ!"''
105** Pretty much a given, considering that he's just realized [[spoiler: the locals are going to ''[[VirginSacrifice burn him alive]] and there's nothing he can do about it'']].
106* In ''Film/RookieOfTheYear'' as the kid goes up to bat for the first time the mother who's watching the game on television starts chanting "Oh my God" then it switches to the the pitcher [[spoiler:who he replaced]] who chants the same thing, than finally it switches to the titular kid who says the exact same thing before ducking the pitch.
107-->'''Mother:''' Oh my God, oh my God\
108'''[[spoiler:Replaced]] pitcher:''' Oh my God, oh my God\
109'''Kid:''' Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God [pitch comes] Gaaaah! [ducks]
110* A great example is shouted by Film/AustinPowers when he discovers [[spoiler:his wife is a Fembot]].
111* ''Film/ToughGuysDontDance'': The '[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9KyBdPeKHg Oh, God! Oh, man!]]' from Ryan O' Neal.
112* ''Film/{{Volcano}}'': From Dr. Jaye Calder (Jacquline Kim) after the La Brea Tarpits exploded and erupted lava for the first time on Wilshire Blvd.
113* ''Film/HappyGilmore'': Shooter [=McGavin=] said this when he turned around and saw Richard Kiel's character after he taunted him if he can drive the ball farther than Happy.
114--> '''Shooter:''' Well, moron, good for Happy Gilm-OH MY GOD!
115* Creator/LivTyler has a hysterical (and hilarious) one of these when she first hears the Oneders on the radio in ''Film/ThatThingYouDo''
116* Rick O'Connell in ''Film/TheMummy1999'' gives us a slightly toned-down version when faced with a giant sand wall:
117--> Rick: Oh my god! Winston! PEDAL FASTEEER!!
118* Jessica Rabbit in ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', when Judge Doom shows her the Dip Truck. It's [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness one of the few times we see her lose her composure]].
119-->'''Jessica:''' Oh my God, it's ''[[BigWordShout DIIIIIP!]]''
120* Fifty-seven seconds in: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHvh-sT2Hs4 "Oh my GOD!]] [[Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld He's dating a fat-ass hipster chick! I HATE her stupid guts!"]]
121* Jeremy Capello delivers this line in a fearful/incredulous way in Film/MyBestFriendIsAVampire, when his vampire allure targets the wrong person, as his nemesis' dumpy sidekick throws himself at his friend Ralph.
122* In ''Film/GhostbustersII'', [[HangingJudge Judge Stephen Wexler]], after shouting his sentence upon Ray, Egon, Peter, '''''AND''''' Lewis, as well as a [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech nasty declaration]] of " having them burned at the stake" akin to the Salem Witch Trials, the [[AppliedPhlebotinum jar of ectoplasmic goo]] used as evidence explodes, and the ghosts of the murderous Scoleri Brothers appears... Cue his reaction as the ghosts wreck havoc inside the courtroom.
123* In ''Film/TenInchHero'', [[Creator/JensenAckles Priestly]] delivers this line upon realizing what tampons are for, dropping the box in disgust.
124* Marty Wolf in ''Film/BigFatLiar'' does this when (after taking a shower) he realizes his skin was dyed blue and his hair orange.
125* ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'' Willie has these moments repeatedly as she is grossed out or shocked by her rough surroundings.
126* ''Film/JustFriends'': A bystander says this when Mike accidentally tasers Samantha making her fall off of a balcony.
127* Film/AceVentura shouts one of these shortly after his [[EurekaMoment revelation of]] Lt. Lois Einhorn's "secret":
128-->'''Ace:''' Oh my God! Einhorn [[spoiler:is a ''[[CreepyCrossdresser man]]'']]?!
129* ''Film/TheBoatThatRocked'': "Young" Carl delivers one in disgust at The Count's horrible attempt at flirting with a guest on the ship.
130-->'''The Count:''' I haven't had sex in a month.\
131'''"Young" Carl:''' (visibly embarrassed) Oh my God!
132* After ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry'' opens with the explosion of the Klingon moon Praxis, Captain Hikaru Sulu of the ''Excelsior'' has this reaction when he sees the PlanarShockwave coming.
133--> "My...''God''! [[DeflectorShields Shields!]] ''[[DeflectorShields Shields!]]''"
134* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:
135** Pepper Potts delivers one for the ages in ''Film/IronMan2'' when [[Comicbook/BlackWidow "Natalie Rushman"]] flips Happy Hogan square on his ass. If it hadn't been recorded some 25 years earlier, one would swear "The Show" by Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick had sampled her.
136** ''Film/ThorRagnarok'': Thor lets out one when the Grandmaster melts another prisoner with his melting stick right beside him.
137* In ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu'', Detective Pikachu shouts "Oh my God!" when he realizes that a human being (Tim) can actually understand him.
138* ''Film/WonderWoman2017'': Charlie's reaction when they finally [[spoiler:see Ares in the flesh]] is loud, incredulous, and also a rather literal OH MY GOD.
139[[/folder]]
140
141[[folder:Literature]]
142* ''Literature/TheSpaceOdysseySeries'': Dave Bowman: "The thing's hollow...It goes on forever, and, oh [[LateArrivalSpoiler my God! It's full of stars]]!"
143* In ''Literature/LittleGreenMen'' by Christopher Buckley, John O. Banion lets out a stunned ''"Oh. My. God."'' when he realizes he in fact underwent AnalProbing during the AlienAbduction he at first tries to dismiss as a hallucination.
144[[/folder]]
145
146[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
147* This has been said near the end in almost every ''Series/PimpMyRide'' episode when they reveal the driver's pimped out vehicle, and almost every [[HomeAndGarden home renovation show]] (''Series/ExtremeMakeoverHomeEdition'', ''Series/FixerUpper'' and the like) when they reveal the owners' new home.
148** Take any American reality show. Rare is the episode when no big OMGs can be heard when they reveal the pimped out wardrobe/wife/friend/apartment. Shows with only young female participants (take ''Series/AmericasNextTopModel'') are extremely loaded with this...
149*** ...to the point where many Finnish viewers, put off by the [[DeadHorseTrope deadness of the horse]] as well as the very [[YoYoPlotpoint loudness of the flogging thereof]], deliberately will watch a Canadian or Australian version instead. They are known as a stoic people, and the usage of similar phrases is rare, usually a result from heavy influence of American tv shows.
150----
151* Roslin in ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|2003}}''; "OhMyGods, it's [[spoiler:Ellen Tigh]]."
152* Spoofed in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''
153-->'''Vampire:''' Oh, my God!\
154'''Buffy:''' Oh, your God what?\
155'''Vampire:''' Oh, well, you know, not my God, because I defy him and all of his works...
156* Jon Stewart used it repeatedly in a segment of ''Series/TheDailyShow'' where he parodied Glen Beck.
157* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
158** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E1PartnersInCrime "Partners in Crime"]]: Donna does a silent one upon seeing the Doctor.
159** Upon "discovering" the TARDIS is BiggerOnTheInside, the Twelfth Doctor unleashes [[ChewingTheScenery an almighty one]] in [[Recap/DoctorWho2015CSTheHusbandsOfRiverSong "The Husbands of River Song"]].
160* ''Series/{{Frasier}}'': The titular character, being the LargeHam that he is, uses this phrase and variants thereof repeatedly. It is arguably his catchphrase for the series (...apart from his trademark "I'm listening" of course).
161* Janice on ''Series/{{Friends}}'' has this as an IncomingHam catchphrase, typically with [[PunctuatedForEmphasis short pauses between each word]]. Interestingly, it was even part of her first line of dialogue on the show, but it wasn't delivered with quite so much emphasis, and quite possibly wasn't meant to become a catchphrase at the time.
162** Janice? This is arguably the catchphrase [[TheCatchphraseCatchesOn of the whole show]] - albeit [[PhraseCatcher more frequently used when Janice is around]].
163* ''Series/GreysAnatomy'': This is Meredith's reaction when she realizes that [[spoiler: John Doe is George.]][[spoiler: Then Meredith rushes off to tell everyone, they rush him into surgery, and he dies, making this far worse.]]
164* ''Series/{{House}}'' emits two of these in the same scene (with the same inflections as Janice above) when he inquires about Cuddy's missing underwear.
165* In a case of GratuitousEnglish for ''Series/HyakujuuSentaiGaoranger'', Gao Yellow yells this upon seeing a vampire-type thing rising from a coffin, smacking it with the nearest blunt object to emphasize each word.
166* ''Series/ICarly'': Spencer lets this loose when Sam's boyfriend Jonah ruins his claymation movie in ''iHate Sam's Boyfriend''.
167** Carly, Sam, and Freddie also say this on various occasions.
168** In ''iGo To Japan'' Freddie shouts the three-letter version when pushed out of the airplane by Sam.
169** There was a WHOLE EPISODE called iOMG!
170* A RunningGag in ''Series/{{Lucifer}}'' thanks to the Devil's DaddyIssues.
171-->'''Lucifer:''' You're not the one being taunted all the while! "Oh God" this and "Oh God" that! He's popping up everywhere and spoiling my favorite things!\
172'''Chloe:''' I'd really hate to be in your head.
173* ''Series/MagnumPI'': Higgins often utters this when frustrated with Magnum's antics, in contrast with his otherwise reliably British StiffUpperLip.
174%%* The Mouse Organ sketch from ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus''.
175* Andy has one of these on ''Series/{{The Office|US}}'' when he realizes his girlfriend is actually a high school student. (Which [[{{Ephebophile}} sounds bad]], but he says they "didn't do anything illegal... except knock over those mailboxes with her friends.") Jim then has a sarcastic "Oh ''my'' God" of his own in response.
176* On ''Series/{{One Day at a Time|1975}}'', Ann Romano turned it into a catchphrase. She didn't say it loud, but she did draw it out: "Ohhhh, myyyy goooood..."
177* ''Series/TeenWolf'': Stiles, in regards to not being able to help Scott out at sneaking over a fence, Batman style. Actually, he pretty much goes "OH MY GOD" all the time. In every episode.
178* Kelso in ''Series/That70sShow'' gets two in the first season episode, "Grandma's Dead".
179-->'''Kelso:''' ''[trying to get his eight-track out of the car that contains Grandma's dead body]'' Grandma Foreman, [[CrossesTheLineTwice could you just move your leg a little bit]]…\
180'''Donna:''' Kelso! She's ''dead''!\
181'''Kelso:''' ''[frantically flings himself out of the car]'' OH MY GOD!!! '[[notices the eight-track in his hand, squeals and drops it, then stares at his hands]'' OH MY GOD!!!!!!
182** In the third season, when Fez thinks that [[spoiler: Big Rhonda will let him bed her]], he stumbles into the Foremans' basement with a big grin and lets out at least three loud "Oh my God!!" before telling his friends why he's so happy.
183* ''Series/TheWestWing'': This happens a few times, usually comedically.
184** The most notable examples are C.J. and Donna's reactions to Josh's disastrous press briefing, which are, respectfully, "Oh my God" (repeated several times with increasing emphasis) and "Oh my God, Josh. I mean, oh my GOD!"
185** Donna does this when she finds Josh hungover in his office, although she is speaking loudly intentionally to bother him.
186** C.J. does this in response to Bartlet's comeback in the presidential debate.
187* ''Series/SchittsCreek'' has many of these since one of the big SharedFamilyQuirks of the Rose family is to exclaim "Oh my God!" Some more prominent examples:
188** David says it when he witnesses his parents PrimalScene.
189** Alexis says it at the Allez Vous party, right before she says "Eww, David" for the first time.
190** David says this when his parents crash Mutt's barn party.
191** David says it when his father tries to be supportive after walking in on him after his tryst with Jake.
192** Alexis says it when she realizes her family thought she was pregnant.
193** Johnny says it when he reads a bad motel review that was clearly inspired by Moira's customer service.
194** Moira says it after the Jazzagals finish their Nine Inch Nails medely: "Oh my god, so moooody!"
195** David says this when he realizes Patrick hasn't come out to his parents.
196** David says this when people keep interrupting his engagement news.
197* Used completely seriously (and heartbreakingly in the series finale of Series/{{MASH}}, when Hawkeye finally remembers the event that landed him in the psych hospital.
198-->'''Hawkeye''': Oh my God! OH MY GOD! It wasn't a chicken! It was a [[spoiler: baby! She smothered her own baby!]]
199* ''Series/{{Arrow}}''. Played literally when Felicity Smoak sets up a meeting with notorious hackitivist Kojo Sledgehammer, only to find she's a [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee geeky fangirl excited at meeting her idol.]]
200-->'''Kojo:''' OMG!
201-->'''Felicity:''' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Oh...MG?]]
202* Played for laughs in ''Series/MsMarvel2022''. When Kamala tells her family that she is the heroine "Night Light", Yusuf and Aamir [[BadBadActing act incredulous]], with Aamir shouting "Oh my God!" Kamala then turns to Muneeba and asks, "You told them already?"
203* Played for heartwarming in ''Series/WhereInTheWorldIsCarmenSandiego'', in which host Greg Lee was genuinely shocked to find out his mother was an informant.
204--->'''Greg's Mom:''' Greg!\
205'''Greg:''' OH MY GOD.

209[[folder:Music]]
210* [[Music/FrankZappa Moon Zappa's]] first words in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHH81xGBpFQ Valley Girl]]", of course (along with 'like').

212* Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDkqz5C62SM The Show]]" features "Oh My God" being scratched.
213* A Brazilian funk song starts with something: "Oh My God! They stole my Beetle!"
214* How about "Oh My God" by Ida Maria?
215* There's an excellent parody of the Valley Girl version in Marina & The Diamonds' "Hollywood".
216* The hip hop song 'Oh My God' by Music/ATribeCalledQuest.
217* The last line of Music/VanHalen's "Hot for Teacher".
218* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TKWNADcCy0 Oh My God]]" by Music/ThePolice.
219* "Sunday Morning After" by Amanda Marshall has this.
220* Jars of Clay's "Oh My God", which is definitely of the prayer type.
221* The punchline of "No Anchovies Please" by Music/TheJGeilsBand: "Oh my GODDD! [[ItMakesSenseInContext That bowling ball--it's my wife!]]"
222* [[Music/DevinTownsend Strapping Young Lad]]'s "Oh My [[AtomicFBomb Fucking]] God." ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.
223* Austrian singer Salena Edbauer doing this at the start of her duet with Teya, and the Alpine country’s Eurovision 2023 entry, “Who The Hell is Edgar?” By saying “Oh My God, you’re such a good writer” to which Teya responds “it’s not me, it’s Edgar Allan Poe”, leading to Salena asking the titular question and setting the song afoot. It was the opening number in the song contest’s grand final show that year.
224[[/folder]]
225
226[[folder:Newspaper Comics]]
227* Comic strip ''ComicStrip/{{Zits}}'' makes a commentary on the frequency in which girls spout this phrase; in one, D'ijon (Pierce's GF) and Sara gush over the the birthday present Pierce gave her- ergo, many omgs from both girls. On the side, Pierce's friend Jeremy tells him "Nicely done", to which Pierce responds, "Thanks- anything beyond six 'Oh My Gods' ranks as genius."

231* Wrestling/JoeyStyles. After a particularly high-risk spot, he lets out a high-pitched "''OH MY GOD!!!''"
232** Alternately, if it involves luchadores, it will become the Spanish equivalent: "''¡AY DIOS MIO!!!''"
233* You also have Wrestling/JimRoss's Southern variant: "BAH GAWD!"
234** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypot3CYECwE GOOD GAWD ALMIGHTY, THEY'VE KILLED 'IM! AS GAWD AS MY WITNESS HE IS BROKEN IN HALF!]]"
235* Wrestling/JerryLawler's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHIewhCuogc no stranger]] to this trope, either.
236* Wrestling/BookerT says "Oh My Goodness".
237* Wrestling/PaulHeyman's reaction at Wrestling/WrestleMania XXX when Wrestling/BrockLesnar ''ended Wrestling/TheUndertaker's [[DefeatingTheUndefeatable streak]]''. It would later be revealed that the only people who knew the ending of the match in advance were Brock, Undertaker, Wrestling/TripleH, [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince]], and Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon. Heyman was not informed about this, and his immediate reaction was [[EnforcedMethodActing genuine]].

240[[folder:Radio]]
241* Griff Rhys Jones' Radio 2 comedy show had a recurring sketch about a stereotypical American sitcom called "Oh My God", so called because, indeed, at least 50% of the dialogue was characters screaming "Oh...My...God!" for no reason.
242[[/folder]]
243
244[[folder:Theater]]
245* ''Theatre/LegallyBlonde: The Musical'', naturally, turns it into a song. A long, bouncy, joyful song.
246* ''Theatre/NoisesOff'' features one of these, shouted very loudly by a man backstage during the middle of a performance. Fortunately, it coincided exactly with a point in the script at which the same phrase was to be shouted.
247* Theatre/{{Sweeney Todd|TheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet}} get both this and a BigNo when he discovers that [[spoiler: the Beggar Woman he just murdered is actually his wife]]. He even sings it.
248* ''Theatre/PeterAndTheStarcatcher'' has when [[spoiler:Black Stache loses his hand by catching it in the chest]]. What makes this particularly amazing is the sheer ''number'' of [=OMGs=] dropped, going from pain to rapid-fire to valley girl to an entire faux talk-show anecdote to [[MemeticMutation "ermagerd"]], back to pain and ending with a few big ones. It deserved the applause it got.

251[[folder:Video Games]]
252* ''[[VideoGame/ExtrapowerStarResistance EXTRAPOWER Star Resistance]]'': A big one is given midway through Stage 4, watching Dark Force level the Shakun Star capital city with [[OrbitalBombardment a dark strike cannon]] blast. ''OH MY GOD! The city is.... destroyed.''
253* [[VideoGame/FatalFury Franco]] Bash's DeathCryEcho is arguably his most [[NeverLiveItDown recognizable gimmick]].
254* Hilariously done in ''VideoGame/ShadowHeartsFromTheNewWorld''; when it is revealed just how much is at stakes, hyperactive Frank lets out a non-subtitled "OH MY GOD!" with over-dramatic body language. Nobody notices. Or cares.
255* Shiki in ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'', upon seeing her idol the Prince: "Omi- omi- omi- oho ho ho ho ohh! emm! gee!" Joshua thinks she's having a stroke.
256* ''VideoGame/MarioParty1'': In the original Japanese version, Luigi and Wario say "Oh my God!" when something really bad happens to them. Overseas, Luigi instead Moans and Groans in disappointment instead, and Wario says [[GratuitousGerman "So ein mist!"]][[note]]often misheard by English speakers as [[MemeticMutation "D'oh, I missed!"]][[/note]] (loosely translating as "OhCrap").
257* After the first BonusStage of ''VideoGame/FinalFight'', a Mad Gear Gang member comes back to find his wrecked car and shouts '''OH, MY GOD!''' in the Japanese version and '''OH, MY CAR!''' in international versions.
258* Used seriously a couple of times in ''VideoGame/Portal2'', most notably when [[spoiler:[=GLaDOS=] realizes that she used to be Caroline, and when she sees the damage Wheatley has done to the facility.]] Also used far more humourously--turns out that [=GLaDOS=] has a habit of overreacting sometimes. Like to a bird laying some eggs.
259--->'''[=GLaDOS=]''': [[AC:OH MY GOD, SHE'S GESTATING A CLONE ARMY!]]
260* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots:'' Both Meryl and Naomi say this word for word when they see Snake's CloneDegeneration-induced RapidAging.
261* This is Jak's reaction in ''VideoGame/Jak3Wastelander'' when it's revealed that the Precursors, the ancient race who created the world [[spoiler:are ottsels]].
262* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'':
263** The game has [[FrenchJerk the Spy]], when he's attacked with Jarate. (MON DIEU!!)
264** The Scout has one upon receiving rare items in [=MvM=] mode:
265--->'''[=Scout=]''': OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!
266* The ''VideoGame/{{maimai}}'' song "Garakuta Doll Play" has a sample of someone screaming "OH MY GOOOODDDDDDD!!" near the end of the song. Then it repeats three times in a row.
267* ''Videogame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'': Henry utters one on seeing [[spoiler:Boris strapped to the table.]]
268* In ''VideoGame/SlyCooperAndTheThieviusRaccoonus'', Bently belts one out in "Descent into Danger" when he first sees the body part-laden waterfall.
269-->'''Bentley:''' Oh, my gawd! A green waterfall overflowing with bones and body parts. I'm telling you, the health department's going to come down bigtime on this dump.
270* Downplayed in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'', Trevor will occasionally utter "Oh my good Lord!" but doesn't raise his voice to the point of shouting.
271[[/folder]]
272
273[[folder:Webcomics]]
274* One ''Webcomic/ZebraGirl'' strip featured a string of Big OMG's. It ticked off Sam enough to walk in and [[LampshadeHanging ask why everyone was suddenly being religious]].
275* [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=4494 Apparently, Satan likes]] WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic. He even yells {{Squee}}!
276[[/folder]]
277
278[[folder:Web Originals]]
279* Chester A. Bum's "OH MY GOD!! THIS IS THE GREATEST MOVIE THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!"
280** In his review for the ''Film/{{Twilight}}'' movie there's these lines: "Oh my God, I got it! That kid is Superman!" "Oh my God! ...That is so hot!"
281* A Website/YouTube video called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et_MmlTxMXA Live Webcast Fail.]]"
282* ''WebVideo/TheAnnoyingOrange'': Occurs in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkHJKakHMpo Wasssabi]]'' when Lemon sees Wasabi.
283-->'''Lemon:''' OH MY GOD! It's WASABIII!
284* ''Idiots of Garry's Mod'' had a scene where an actor invoked this trope upon noticing his chat buddy being [[ItMakesSenseInContext covered in headcrabs]].
285* In ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlueTheBloodGulchChronicles'', Sarge swaps [[DeadpanSnarker Lopez's]] head and Andy the Bomb when {{C|loudcuckoolander}}aboose isn't looking. Caboose, who had been talking to Andy, turns back around and says, "Andy! Now you're a real boy!" When Sarge realizes that he needs both Andy and Lopez so that Andy can translate Lopez's message, he distracts Caboose again by making him think he heard something behind him by telling him he heard something behind him. When Caboose turns around again, Sarge has replaced Lopez's head with a skull. Caboose's response is, "Oh - my - GOD! Andy! You're dead! How did this happen?"
286* In episode three of TeamXGP's [[http://teamxgp.com Outlaw Star Abridged]], Hilda does this upon seeing a "Space-F-C" restaurant. [=McDougal=]'s drive-through is closer, but "They don't have the Double-Down!"
287* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1a2iaGpBuQ This]] single match LetsPlay deserves a special mention... Try to shout OMG 34 TIMES. OUT LOUD. And that's as a part of an AffectionateParody of Joel Gertner... or was it more of a bad impersonation? Well, YMMV.
288* {{LetsPlay/Chuggaaconroy}}'s LetsPlay of [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Pokémon Crystal]] contains this. Specifically, when he [[spoiler:finds a shiny Koffing in Burned Tower]]. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d later in the LP, given that it ''is'' Chuggaaconroy.
289* LetsPlay/NintendoCapriSun gave one of these in Part 51 of his ''{{VideoGame/MOTHER 3}}'' LetsPlay , when he went through a door and found the [[spoiler:Ultimate Chimera, who almost immediately spotted him and began chasing him.]]
290* Duke Nukem quotes the exact line from Troll 2 in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3zhbcqDSMs Duke Nukem Forever Fail]]''
291* More like Big OMK (Oh My Kismoto!) in ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'' like when Fire Guy latches onto Seth's face.
292** Said by Tide when he sees Koden and Amber get SwallowedWhole by [[ThreateningShark Sushi]] in 'Untamed and Uncut'.
293* When the ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'' play ''VideoGame/YouDontKnowJack 2011'', Jon gets frustrated during the [[GoldenSnitch Jack Attack]] and starts mashing his buzzer, losing all his money in the process. When the final totals of the Grumps are unveiled, this exchange occurs:
294-->'''Arin''': OH ''MY'' '''GAHD'''!\
295'''Jon''': I have to pay them all that money?!\
296'''Arin''': Dude... You'd better sell your fuckin' house, dude!
297* WebVideo/JonTron:
298** His reaction to the Galactic Dance Off minigame in ''Franchise/StarWars Kinect'' when he sees Han Solo dancing.
299** In his ''Disney Bootleg'' episode, he screams in autotune in sync with [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Circle of Life]] when he saw a GameOver where Simba hangs himself. (Curiously, if you take out the autotune, the Circle of Life "OMG" sounds similar to the Han Solo "OMG" above)
300* WebVideo/RedLetterMedia loves [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpMY6TYSuRs this]].
301-->'''Mike''': I clapped when Darth Vader [[Film/RogueOne turned on his red lightsaber]]!\
302'''Jay''': [[{{Nerdgasm}} Holy shit, there was a red lightsaber and he used the Foooorce!]]\
303'''Mike''': '''''OH MY GAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!'''''
304* Android 18 lets out one of these when she sees the size of Krillin's GagPenis in ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged''. She then immediately demands [[BiggerIsBetterInBed he get on the bed]], much to his delight.
305* During ''[[LetsPlay/{{Dream}} Dream's]]'' Minecraft Manhunts, Dream frequently says this whenever the hunters manage to force him to run.
306[[/folder]]
307
308[[folder:Western Animation]]
309* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'': Bob usually gives an exasperated "Oh my god...", which sometimes gets upgraded to a louder "OH, MY GOD!" when something particularly unfortunate or shocking happens.
310* The Creator/DingoPictures cartoon ''Son of the Lion King'' (also known as ''Lion and the King'') features this line, which has become [[Main/MemeticMutation memetic]] due to its over-the-top delivery:
311--> '''Lion King:''' The diamonds! ''MY GOD!'' I'd forgotten them completely!
312* In ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'', this is one of Hank's favorite phrases, usually denoting something he either does not or can not understand.
313* Brian gives a truncated one in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' while Stewie's beating him senseless over an unpaid loan, just before Stewie takes the AmusingInjuries to the next level...
314-->'''Brian''': Stewie, this is crazy, you've got to... ''oh my god!'' (gets roasted by a flamethrower)
315** Peter gets some of this too in a rather cynical way.
316--->'''Peter''': OH MY GOD, who...the hell...cares?!?
317* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
318** The oft-repeated line, "OH MY GOD! {{They killed Kenny|Again}}!"
319--->"You bastards!"
320** Randy Marsh gets two separate Big [=OMGs=] when he realizes every senior citizen in town is driving at the same time.
321** A notable example (when Stan's parents accidentally send a porno to Butters's house):
322--->'''Sharon:''' "Wow, the production values are really good in this porno."\
323'''Randy:''' "Yeah, it almost looks like... the Lord of the... OH MY GOD!"
324** The first Christmas episode has Kyle's baby brother Ike playing with the family's menorah. When he catches fire, Sheila gives one before Gerald douses the flames.
325* Candace of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' gets a good one. Bonus points for actually saying the letters instead of the phrase.
326* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Here's one from "Missionary: Impossible":
327-->'''Homer''': Oh, how's the TV reception here? Excellent, or...\
328'''Q'Toktok''': ''[wondering]'' Tee... vee?\
329'''Homer''': You don't have TV? But what will I watch when I'm sitting on the couch?\
330'''Ak''': ''[slowly]'' Couch?\
331'''Homer''': No couches either? Oh, man, I need a beer.\
332''[Q'Toktok and Ak just stare at each other]''\
333'''Homer''': ''[collapsing to the ground]'' Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God!\
334'''Natives''': ''[imitating and collapsing like Homer]'' Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God!
335** In "Kamp Krusty", Krusty has this reaction when Bart tells him that one of the campers of Kamp Krusty was eaten by a bear.
336--->'''Krusty''': '''OH MY GOD!'''\
337'''Bart''': Well actually, it was just his hat.\
338'''Krusty''': Was it a nice hat?\
339'''Bart''': Oh yeah.\
340'''Krusty''': '''OH MY GOD!'''
341* A pre-credits sketch in ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' makes fun of "previously on" clips in TV shows. Sprinkled amongst numerous scenes are ones of an action-hero-y looking guy looking off-camera while exclaiming "Oh, my...!" only to be [[CurseCutShort cut off by an explosion from offscreen]].
342* In one episode of ''Westernanimation/{{Duckman}}'', Cornfed gives off one of these in his usual deadpan/near-monotone style.
343* In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', Batman has this reaction upon learning Mr. Freeze's backstory. The crew noted [[{{Surprisingly Lenient Censor}} they were surprised they were able to get away with it.]]
344-->'''Batman:''' My God...\
345'''Mr. Freeze:''' Yes. It would move me to tears if I still had tears to shed.
346[[/folder]]
347
348[[folder:Real Life]]
349* Bleacher Report's 2022 NFL Draft show got both this and a BigWhat nearly simultaneously as Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce and host Adam Lefkoe -- a lifelong Eagles fan -- [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Cqnb9JOclI learned live on air]] that Philadelphia had just made a blockbuster trade for wide receiver A.J. Brown.
350-->'''Lefkoe:''' Apparently there's a trade, and they're not telling me what it is, so we're going to find this out togeth -- (''Text appears on screen detailing the trade'') OH MY GOD!\
351'''Kelce:''' WHAT?!
