| 8 | ->''"WHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!"'' |
| 9 | -->-- '''[=Leslie=]''', ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', "The Flower" |
| 10 | |
| 11 | A {{Camera Trick|s}} where the camera is placed directly over the actor, pointing down, while the actor looks up into the camera or at the sky overhead and makes a [[HellIsThatNoise ear-piercingly elongated]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext and somewhat bloodcurdling scream of bloody murder.]] For extra {{LargeHam}}-tacularity, the camera may even be [[SpectacularSpinning spinning upwards or panning upward.]] |
| 12 | |
| 13 | This can be done to show intense anguish in the character, implying that they are screaming at the sky because there is nothing on the planet to hold responsible, possibly cursing [[RageAgainstTheHeavens some deity]]. This is especially likely if they are screaming phrases rather than pure noise. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | If the cause for this is as simple as [[ComicalOverreacting running out of Cheesy snacks]], the trope immediately becomes comedic. Indeed, it's exceeding rare to be used seriously these days and will almost certainly fall into {{Narm}}. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Showing something like this from the ''front'' results in a VolumetricMouth. If the character is screaming at fate or the gods, its also an example of HeavenAbove. See also BigNo, BigWhy, TheScream, SayMyName, and DeathWail. Often accompanied by MilkingTheGiantCow and SmiteMeOMightySmiter. Do not confuse with ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]''. |

| 20 | !!Examples: |
| 21 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 22 | |
| 23 | [[folder:Anime and Manga]] |
| 24 | * ''Anime/CodeGeass:'' Happens a lot, [[LargeHam usually with Lelouch]]. From Turn 17: [[spoiler: "YOU BETRAYED ME, SUZAKU...! YOU BETRAAAAYED MEE!!"]] |
| 25 | * ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'': [[spoiler:Batou when the Major is apparently killed.]] His friends mock him for it afterwards by threatening to bring up a satellite picture of him doing it. |
| 26 | * ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'': [[WorldsStrongestMan Shizuo]]: ''IIIIIII-ZAAAAAA-YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!'' |
| 27 | * Used by Hayate in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'' after [[spoiler:[[UnequalPairing Vita]] getting executed in front of her [[BreakTheCutie breaks her thoroughly]]]]. |
| 28 | * Ed in ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist2003'': "STOP JERKING ME AROOOOOOOOOUND!" |

| 30 | ** "ANIKIIIIIII!" |

| 33 | * Lord Darcia in ''Anime/WolfsRain'' after his lover dies. |
| 34 | %%* One happens in the final arc of ''Franchise/SailorMoon''. Doubles as a BigNo. |
| 35 | * ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'': |
| 36 | ** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'': Shinn's entire family has just died, and the opening hasn't even played. Insert multi-angled scream of anguish. And ''again'' when [[spoiler: Stella]] dies. [[TraumaCongaLine Poor guy]]. |
| 37 | ** Setsuna in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'' is [[TheStoic not usually prone to these]] but even he does this trope when he fails to save [[spoiler:Lockon]]: he is seen [[AlasPoorYorick holding Lockon's targeting sight in his Gundam's hand]], shedding ManlyTears while muttering Lockon's name then finally releasing an inarticulate scream of grief. In the second season, [[BrokenBird Louise]] is the one delivering this trope when she [[FreakOut realizes]] successfully taking revenge for her family also made her a killer, slowly turning her TearsOfJoy into ones of OhCrap. |
| 38 | ** The final episode of the first cour of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamTheWitchFromMercury'' has a rare example InSpace. [[spoiler: Guel Jeturk ends up having to defend himself from a unit from his father's company during the attack on Plant Quetta after being mistaken for one of the terrorists who have stolen some of the suits. He is horrified to find out that after impaling the other suit that its pilot was none other than [[{{Patricide}} his own father]]. After watching his father's suit explode in the distance despite trying to save him, Guel lets out an anguished scream as the camera pans upward]]. |

| 43 | * ''Manga/OnePiece'': |
| 44 | ** Tiny Luffy (heartbreakingly) in ch.588: [[spoiler:SABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!]] |

| 47 | ** Komamura does this ("AIZEN!!") after [[spoiler:Tousen's death]]. |
| 48 | ** Kenpachi does this after [[spoiler:realizing he killed Unohana]]. |
| 49 | ** Incidentally, Ichigo actually has a non-tragic one after he defeats [[AloofBigBrother Byakuya]] [[KnightTemplar Kuchiki]]. When a greatly-wounded and worn-out Byakuya walks away and concedes that Ichigo had finally won, and that he wouldn't hunt down [[ActionGirl Rukia]] for execution anymore, Ichigo looks up to the sky while the camera {{pan}}s up away from him, as he let's out a primal, victorious scream to the heavens. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], considering how far he'd come and what he had achieved. |
| 50 | * Fakir in ''Anime/PrincessTutu'' "AHIRUUUUUU!!!!!!" |
| 51 | * Several anime (''Anime/RanmaOneHalf'' springs to mind as an example) combine the Skyward Scream with some kind of reaction elsewhere, especially when the scream is either a curse (usually causing the subject to react, such as by sneezing) or a BattleCry (in which case, someone may slip or accidentally break something). |
| 52 | * Wolfram von Bielefeld in the WhamEpisode of ''Literature/KyoKaraMaoh'': his beloved king was last reported in this church which has since burnt down--but all anyone can find in the ruins is the lonely severed arm of the dedicated once-beloved brother he's been rejecting for years. [[WhamShot Cue scream of frustration.]] |
| 53 | ** Also cue CharacterDevelopment. Like anything. It's also after this that he reverts to referring to Conrad by name, which he apparently hasn't done since he was a little kid and found out niisan was half human. |
| 54 | * ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': |
| 55 | -->'''Asuka:''' I don't wanna die. [[SurvivalMantra I don't wanna die.]] [[MadnessMantra I don't wanna die.]] ''[[DespairEventHorizon I don't want to die.]]'' '''I DON'T WANNA DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!'''" |
| 56 | * Non-angsty example in ''Literature/No6'': Sion during the storm in episode 1. |
| 57 | * Happens an awful lot in ''Manga/InuYasha'', mostly from the title character. |
| 58 | ** A wordless variant happens in the second movie, complete with spinning camera. |
| 59 | * At the end of ''Anime/OneStormyNight'', Gabu the wolf actually does this after he and his goat friend Mei are now together again and that the moon is rising right in front of them for the first time. |
| 60 | * Mitsunari in the ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'' movie. He's already had his ThisIsUnforgivable rant, so he just screams. |
| 61 | * ''Anime/{{Bakugan}}'': |
| 62 | ** "DRAGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" |
| 63 | ** [[spoiler: "WAYVERRRRRRRRRRRRNNNN!!!"]] |
| 64 | * ''Anime/TransformersArmada'': Optimus Prime lets out a BigNo after Smokescreen in the episode "Sacrifice". After he dies in "Sacrifice", Jetfire screams, "NEVER!" after telling his leader's lifeless body that the autobots would never forget him. |
| 65 | ** [[spoiler:And let's not forget the infamous episode "cramp", where Rad [[SayMyName cries out for the hero-bot]], who had given his life to show just how dangerous Unicron truly was.]] |
| 66 | * ''Anime/TransformersCybertron'': [[spoiler: ''(after being soundly [[FaceHeelTurn betrayed]] and imprisoned by his backstabbing second-in-command)'']] Megatron: ''[[TheStarscream STARSCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAM!!!!!!]]'' |
| 67 | * ''Anime/DragonBallZ'': Characters can scream for minutes just to power up or transform. When yelling out names or lines, you could instigate a DrinkingGame! Notables include: |
| 68 | ** "HURRY, GOKU!!!" |
| 69 | ** "PICOLOOOOO!!!" |
| 70 | ** "CHIAOTZUUUU!!!" |
| 71 | ** "YOU'RE ''DEAAAAAAAAAD!!!!'' WHEN I FIND YOU, I'LL ''KILL'' YOU!!!!" (Vegeta, realizing he's been duped out of getting the rest of the Dragon Balls by Krillin and Gohan, when they were inches away from him) |
| 72 | ** And let's not forget [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmELlqjR5Ao this gem:]] |
| 73 | *** ''"I'M RECOOOOME!!"'' |
| 74 | *** ''"BURTERRRRRR!!"'' |
| 75 | *** ''"OI! JEICE!!"'' |
| 76 | *** ''"GULDOOOO!!"'' |
| 77 | *** ''"CAPTAAIN GINYUUU!!!"'' |
| 78 | *** ''"[[QuirkyMinibossSquad NOW YOU SEE THE POWER... OF THE GINYU FORCE!!!]]"'' |
| 79 | ** ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' gives us Fused Zamasu's epic "'''''SON! GOKU!'''''" after he Saiyan gets in a good hit on him. |
| 80 | * ''Manga/DeathNote'': '''''MATSUDA, [[GambitPileup YOU IDIOOOOOOOOT!!!]]''''' |
| 81 | * ''Anime/MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch'' blows the pants off this trope in the last episodes of the first season. |
| 82 | --> '''LUCHIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA''' |
| 83 | * Done for comedic effect in episode 4 of ''Anime/LupinIIITheWomanCalledFujikoMine'', when Oscar comes across Zenigata unconscious and covered in blood. Lupin had just sprayed fake blood all over the Inspector, and Oscar had inadvertently knocked him out by coming out of the trapdoor ''just'' as Lupin escaped. |
| 84 | * Haruka of ''Manga/KotouraSan'' does this during the DownerBeginning in the GrayRainOfDepression when [[spoiler:the mean old lady sends the stray cat to an animal shelter (effectively a death sentence in Japan)]]. Made even more poignant since the scene itself becomes silent as the GriefSong swells over. |
| 85 | * ''Franchise/KagerouProject'': One of these is performed by [[spoiler:Marry]], when [[spoiler:[[GroundhogDayLoop the Snake of Clearing Eyes kills all of her friends at the end of each timeloop]]]]. They're usually drowned out by the background music, but that somehow makes it even more disturbing. |
| 86 | * This trope (combined with SayMyName and IWillFindYou) seems to be a recurring theme in ''Franchise/YuGiOh'', as it's been done by [[Anime/YuGiOh every]] [[Anime/YuGiOhGX single]] [[Anime/YuGiOh5ds main]] [[Anime/YuGiOhZexal character]] [[Anime/YuGiOhArcV in the]] [[http://eliaspsuedo.tumblr.com/post/116286887268/yuzu-astral-bruno-johan-and-yugi-yes-the franchise]] (spoilers in the link!). |

| 88 | * Munakata in ''Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool'' in Episode 10 of the Future Arc, [[spoiler: upon realizing that Yukizome was EvilAllAlong.]] |

| 90 | * At the end of ''Anime/TenchiMuyo: Mihoshi's Space Police Adventure'', we see Kiyone stranded in space at the very end and ends the special by screaming out that she's going to murder her. |
| 91 | * In ''Anime/SakuraWarsTheAnimation'', Hatsuho screams "Damn it all!" after her Mugen gets seriously damaged by the demon at the end of "Tokyo Trembles! The New Moscow Combat Revue!". |
| 92 | * In episode 21b of ''Anime/{{Tamagotchi}}'', the cavity Tamagotchi inside Mametchi's mouth considers inviting his mother to come live with him since he thinks she'd like how comfy Mametchi's tooth is. After Mametchi imagines his cavity becoming bigger after the cavity Tamagotchi is visited by his mother and grandkids, ends up married and with his own kid, and eventually an entire cavity neighborhood forming, Mametchi looks to the sky and screams "OH NO, IT CAN'T BE!" |
| 93 | * ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'': Having completed 10 months worth of TrainingFromHell and having cleaned a whole beach worth of rubbish, protagonist Izuku Midoriya stands atop the pile and lets out some very war-like screams with his head held high. |
| 94 | * ''Literature/FateZero'': Kiritsugu lets out a heartbreaking one after [[spoiler: he is forced to shoot down Natalia's plane]]. |
| 95 | --> '''Kiritsugu''': ''Shut your mouth! Just shut up!'' '''''BASTARD!''''' |
| 96 | * ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency'': '''''SHIIIIIIIIIZAAAAAAAAAAAA!'''''. Subject to MemeticMutation. |

| 100 | * ''Animation/{{Akis}}'': In "Why Oh Why", the woman in a TV show Akis' family is watching screams a BigWhy up to the sky. |
| 101 | * ''Animation/HappyHeroes'': |
| 102 | ** In Season 8 episode 1, Big M. screams "I HATE YOU, HAPPY SUPERMAN!" when he's informed that his monsters can't get past Planet Xing's Blue-Ray Defense System. |
| 103 | ** In Season 8 episode 6, after Little M. accidentally trips and drops fire wands on the floor, some of them fall onto him and Big M., and the latter yells "NOW WHICH ONE IS THE ''REAL'' FIRE WAND?! NO!" |
| 104 | * In ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf: Joys of Seasons'' episode 16, Wolffy does a skyward scream of "OH, MY DEAR COMFORT ROBOT!!!" after he tries and fails to find his comfort robot. |
| 105 | [[/folder]] |
| 106 | |
| 107 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 108 | * ''ComicBook/CartoonNetworkBlockParty'': |
| 109 | ** ''ComicBook/ThePowerpuffGirls'' do this along with a BigNo when after Him recruits three cereal cartoon mascots to steal all the dry cereal in town, the only breakfast item left on the shelves is oatmeal ("Steal A Meal," from issue #26). |
| 110 | ** The Professor does this as well in "The Trouble With Bubbles" (regular issue #18) when after Bubbles runs away from home he finds her goodbye note. |

| 112 | -->"CLAREMONT!!!!!!!!!" |

| 116 | * ''ComicBook/StrangersInParadise'': This [[http://comicbookdb.com/graphics/comic_graphics/1/3/1157_20050923163623_large.jpg cover]]. |
| 117 | * ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'': |

| 119 | ---> '''Superman:''' '''MONGUL!''' |
| 120 | ** He also does this in ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'' after [[spoiler: a nuke -apparently- wipes all metahumans out.]] |
| 121 | ** In ''ComicBook/KryptonNoMore'', Superman does this -combined with shaking his closed fist heavenwards- when he screams that he will not let Earth die. |
| 122 | --->'''Superman:''' Hear me, world! I won't let you commit planetary suicide! I swear I won't let you die — I swear it!! |
| 123 | * ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'': |

| 126 | [[/folder]] |
| 127 | |
| 128 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 129 | * In ''Fanfic/AceCombatTheEquestrianWar'', [[TheHeroine Rainbow Dash]] unleashes a chilling scream by the end of chapter 11, reason being [[spoiler: Gilda betraying her trust and breaking Medley's wings]]. |
| 130 | * ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'': In chapter 3, when Shinji decided that he would rescue Asuka, not matter what, his Evangelion Unit-01 threw back its head and '''roared'''. |
| 131 | * Two for the price of one during ''The Bloodstained Alliance'' in ''Fanfic/CodeGeassPaladinsOfVoltron'' [[spoiler:after Euphie gets shot by Nebiros:]] |
| 132 | ** Cornelia gives a scream of [[spoiler:[=EUPHIE=]]]. |
| 133 | ** Suzaku gives a BigNo. |

| 135 | * Blackjack gets a great one in ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestriaProjectHorizons'' at the end of a HeroicRROD. |
| 136 | ''Fanfic/JohannaMasonTheyWillNeverSeeMeCry'': Chaff storms onto the roof to scream loudly at the skyline and hit stuff in a rage near the end of the 74th Hunger Games, causing a nearby Johanna to solemnly and correctly guess that Thresh has just fallen in battle to Cato. |
| 137 | * Subverted in ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji''. When Shinji [[spoiler:found out the truth behind his mother's death,]] he threw back his head, and he screamed. But his shout sounded in the [[SubspaceOrHyperspace Warp]], not in the physical world. |
| 138 | -->Shinji threw his head back and opened his mouth to scream, but no sound came out in the physical world. |
| 139 | * In ''Fanfic/APrizeForThreeEmpires'', [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarolDanvers Carol Danvers]] lets a long, loud scream out when Marcus dies and his mind-control upon her disappears. |
| 140 | * ''WebAnimation/TurnaboutStorm'': [[OriginalCharacter Cruise Control]] pulls several of these off, most accompanied by a BigNo. It's all PlayedForLaughs, as he uses them to chastise himself [[ComicalOverreacting for committing petty mistakes]]. |
| 141 | * In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C7Ys_hhHCA&feature=youtu.be "The Doctor Games"]], this is the Eleventh Doctor's reaction to Four killing Ten. |
| 142 | -->"FOOUURRR!" |
| 143 | * In the second chapter of ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'', Pikachu lets out one upon discovering that, with the time crash and subsequent reset, his physical experience and learned moves are all gone, and they'll have to retrain from scratch to recover them. |
| 144 | * ''Fanfic/YouAreNotAtFault'': As he is lying face up on the shore after the end of the world, Shinji comes to the realization that he has committed the greatest genocide in History. Horrified, he screams. |
| 145 | [[/folder]] |
| 146 | |
| 147 | [[folder:Films — Animated]] |
| 148 | * The beginning of ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}} and the Vikings'', when Timandahaf realizes that village his crew are sacking is empty. |
| 149 | -->"Hello...? Anyone home...? By Thor... '''WHHHHYYYYY!?'''" |
| 150 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife'': |
| 151 | ** As Manolo holds [[spoiler: Maria's seemingly-dead body, he gives off a terrifically anguished one.]] |

| 153 | --->'''La Muerte:''' '''''[[SayMyName XIIIIIIIIBAAAAALLLLLLLBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!]]'''''\ |
| 154 | '''Xibalba:''' ''(appearing behind her with wineglasses)'' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Yes, my dear?]] |
| 155 | * ''WesternAnimation/BrotherBear'': When Kenai first realizes he's been turned into a bear, he screams so loudly it can be heard from ''miles'' away. |
| 156 | * ''WesternAnimation/DaffyDucksQuackbusters'' ends on one of these when J.P. Cubish, after already taking away every last bit of his inheritance from WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck from beyond the grave, also [[YankTheDogsChain takes away Daffy's first honestly-earned dollar]], with the implication that he will be doing this to Daffy forever. |
| 157 | -->'''Daffy:''' '''''CUUUUUUUUUBIIIIIIIIIIISH!!!''''' |
| 158 | * ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddysBigPictureShow'': The character Kevin on the ten-year Cartoon Network classic was renowned for calling the three titular stooges out as being dorks. With the other cul-de-sac kids, save for Sarah and Jimmy trying to rip the Eds open at the playground, it make sense that when the Eds fly away in their car [[spoiler: thanks to Double D's quick thinking]] that Kevin invokes the trope, screaming [[spoiler: "DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORKS!"]] with a pole in his hand, angrily tossing aforementioned pole and its dirt anchorage into the ground ahead of him. |
| 159 | * ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'': HERE I STAND AND HERE I'LL STAY!!!! All while the camera comes up and spins. |
| 160 | %%* [[WesternAnimation/JungledyretHugo RIIIIIIIIIIITAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!]] |
| 161 | * In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'', Twilight Sparkle does this on finding [[HumanityEnsues she's been turned into a human]], coupled with a TwistedKneeCollapse. |
| 162 | %%* ''WesternAnimation/OverTheHedge'': There's a parody of the ''Film/AStreetcarNamedDesire'' example. |
| 163 | * In ''WesternAnimation/PoohsHeffalumpMovie'', Piglet does this when Pooh eats the jellybeans he left on the ground to find their way back. |
| 164 | -->'''Piglet:''' Oh no, ''WEEEEEE'RRREE LLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSTTT!!!!!'' |
| 165 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler'', King Nod does this upon realizing that the prophecy which tells of his kingdom's doom is coming true. |
| 166 | -->'''King Nod:''' MY KINGDOM WILL COME TO DESTRUCTION AND '''DEEEEAAAAATH!''' |
| 167 | * ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'': Meilin Lee does one when she loses control of her anger and embarrassment and transforms into her red panda form during math class. It really shows just how far over the edge she's been driven by [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents her mother's actions]]. |
| 168 | [[/folder]] |
| 169 | |
| 170 | [[folder:Films — Live-Action]] |
| 171 | * ''Film/DonnieDarko'': [[Creator/DrewBarrymore Miss Pomeroy]] does this after being unfairly sacked from her job. Doubles as an AtomicFBomb. |
| 172 | * Done by Aragorn in ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheTwoTowers''. In a rare [[ThrowItIn unscripted version]], where Viggo Mortenson broke his foot on the helmet he kicked, eliciting a cry of real ''physical'' pain that fit the scene well enough that Peter Jackson kept it in. |
| 173 | * ''Film/{{Flash Gordon|1980}}'': '''[[Creator/BrianBlessed GORDON'S ALIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!]]''' is sometimes misremembered as an example. In fact, the line was delivered with restraint by Creator/BrianBlessed's standards. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFnmT82yGpk See it here]]. |
| 174 | * ''Franchise/StarTrek'': |
| 175 | ** For some reason, people think that Kirk screaming "KHAAAAAAN!" in ''[[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan Star Trek II]]'' was [[BeamMeUpScotty like this]]. It wasn't (it's a close-up of Kirk's face if you're wondering, cutting to a long shot of the moon he's on/in), but parodies of it do this. The misconception is prevalent enough that this trope was formerly '''named''' The Khan despite '''The''' "KHAAAAAAN!" not actually being an example. |
| 176 | *** The "KHAAAAAAN!" in ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'' is an example of it, however. |
| 177 | ** ''Film/StarTrek2009'' has an actual example of this trope, though - Nero screaming "SPOOOOOOOOOOOCK!" during his VillainousBreakdown. This interrupts Nero beating the stuffing out of Alternate-Kirk, who sits up with a faint glimmer of recognition as Nero launches into it. |
| 178 | * One does this in ''Film/TheCityOfLostChildren''. |
| 179 | * John Belushi's character screaming after the beer bar is taken away in ''Film/AnimalHouse''. |
| 180 | * Iconic movie example: In the film adaptation of ''Film/AStreetcarNamedDesire'', just after realizing the error of his ways, Stanley Kowalski (Marlon Brando) screams out in the rain. The "STELLA! STELL-LLAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" is done with this camera angle and has become one of the most famous one-word lines in movie history. |
| 181 | * ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMansChest'': "Damn you, Jack... SSSPARRROOOWWWWW!!!!" complete with the pullaway camera angle from above (and Davy Jones spraying seawater). |
| 182 | * Performed by Cindy (Anna Faris's character) at the end of every one of the ''Film/ScaryMovie'' series, although usually punctuated by her [[LookBothWays being run over]]. |
| 183 | * Bartleby does this near the end of ''Film/{{Dogma}}'' while laughing maniacally. |
| 184 | * In Baz Luhrmann's ''Film/WilliamShakespearesRomeoAndJuliet'', the line "I am... FORTUNE'S FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!" gets this treatment. |
| 185 | * "WILLIAAAAAMMM!" William Thatcher also does this, screaming his own name, at the end of ''Film/AKnightsTale''. Not quite skyward, though. |
| 186 | * Parodied in the movie ''Film/CharliesAngels2000'' with Matt Leblanc howling "DAMN YOU, SALAZAAAR!" at the soaring camera while his girlfriend lies dead in his arms. [[spoiler:And then we find out they're shooting [[ShowWithinAShow a movie within the movie]].]] |
| 187 | ** [[spoiler: Don't forget that the scene takes place at the end of a montage showing the romantic B-plots of the other two angels, furthering the assumption that the girlfriend is Lucy Liu.]] |
| 188 | * ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'' combines it with DistantReactionShot. |
| 189 | * ''Film/KindergartenCop'' has Detective John Kimbell doing it to vent his excess frustration after all the kids drive him nuts. |
| 190 | * The ''Film/MyFavoriteMartian'' [[TheMovie movie]] does a variant of this, as it is executed during [[BigBad Elliot Coleye's]] EvilLaugh at the height of [[spoiler:his OneWingedAngel act (initiated by one of the Martians' "nerplex")]]. |
| 191 | * ''Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968'': '''''YOU MANIACS!!! YOU BLEW IT UP!!! AH, DAMN YOU!!! GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!!"''''' |
| 192 | * ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'': |
| 193 | ** ''Film/X2XMenUnited'': Logan does this in a flashback where he wakes up in a tank of water with no memories and metal claws shoot out of his hands. |

| 235 | * ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'' has Cory scream this way when he suffers from a ''very bad hairdo''. Worse for him is the fact that he still has to go to school that day -- without being permitted to wear a hat inside the school building. |

Khan]]. They once even subverted/[[http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=149372&title=9/11-earwig failed to do the shot]]. |

In "The Human Factor", Janette gives a skyward BigNo after her human lover is murdered, and she discovers she's become mortal and so can't turn him into a vampire to save him.

The first time was George yelling "KHAAAAAAN!" after realizing his life must be dedicated to the Susan Ross foundation.[[note]]This is just after Jerry told how he had inspired Susan's parents to start the foundation with a line from ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan''.[[/note]] The second time was Elaine yelling "SUUUUUUUUUUZIE!" after realizing her life must be dedicated to the Susie foundation, a fake character she initially made up to avoid troubles and later "killed" her to avoid exposure.

| 282 | * Parodied in an episode of ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway?'' During a game of Weird Newswcasters (in which the comedians had to portray certain characters while being in a newscast), Ryan (the weatherman) was assigned a character of a self-centered actor about to give his "Oscar-worthy performance". Ryan finished off his bit with his character bellowing his last line as he looked up towards an overhead camera--while ''he'' spun instead of the camera. The audience burst out into applause at the end. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOCJcFy6QsQ View the whole game here (Ryan's performance starts at around 2:40)]] |
