6We know this. But it's still a joy to watch.

8A bad guy will taunt, cajole, or in some way try to deceive the good guy/s with [[PurpleProse big words, possibly flowery language]], or good ol' fashioned TrashTalk. But the good guy/s will have none of it. Instead, they'll snatch a word out of the enemy's tirade, tack a hard, defiant, "THIS!" to the end of it, and unload on their enemies.

10In lowbrow games of VolleyingInsults, "this" is one's crotch, indicated with a gesture so the other doesn't miss the point.
11
12Can result in ClusterFBomb if the verb happened to be an [[PrecisionFStrike F Word]], or ScrewThisImOuttaHere here if verb was "Screw".
13
14Compare/Contrast with IWillShowYouX, in using someone's own wording in a retort to them, except that IWillShowYouX is more specifically about what the character saying it will DO, whereas in Verb This there's no "I" in it and it could just as easily be referring to some external circumstance. Also compare/contrast with OhGodWithTheVerbing, where the speaker is expressing exasperation with someone's wording and implying that he's heard it too many times already.
15
16Usually doubles as a FacingTheBulletsOneLiner, PreMortemOneLiner and/or PreAsskickingOneLiner as well. Can also be a BondOneLiner, if "that" is used in place of "this". Can be someone's SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome if pulled off properly.

232** ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge'' gets a quote from Chase, the Black Parasaur Ranger, when he is snapped out of mind control. He was under command of the alien outlaw Spellbinder, who was using a special pendant to control Chase. Spellbinder commanded Chase to destroy his fellow Ranger, Shelby, but she managed to kick a skateboard underneath his feet. Chase focuses the best when on a skateboard, so it allowed him to regain his free will. He says this before turning his Dino Morpher Blaster on Spellbinder and shooting his control pendant:
233--->'''Chase:''' Command ''this.''
234* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' has a subversion:
235-->'''Turk:''' That was a finder's fee!\
236'''J.D.:''' Oh yeah? Well, find ''this''!\
237''*beat*''\
238'''Carla:''' You know you're supposed to grab your crotch when you say that.\
239'''J.D.:''' Wouldn't that hurt?
240* In the ''Series/StarskyAndHutch'' episode "Moonshine," Starsky tells a group of moonshiners, "You're under arrest." One of them fires into the air and says, "Arrest this!"
241* ''Series/StrangerThings'': The Season 3 finale has the Party and the other teens confronting [[BigBad the Mind Flayer]] by throwing fireworks at it, with Lucas shouting out "Flay this, you piece of shit!" at one point.
242* In an episode of ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'', the Tipton staff and the boys are seen practising for the bowling tournament against the Saint-Marc hotel staff, and happen to run into their rivals in the bowling alley. When their enemy's brutal member throws a strike and is rewarded with a schnitzel, Zack replies "Oh yeah? Schnitzel this" as it is his turn.
243** And in its spinoff ''The Suite Life On Deck'', Bailey does this to London when the latter embarrasses the former on her webshow.
244--->'''London:''' I don't understand your crazy robot talk.\
245'''Bailey:''' Understand this! \
246''(Bailey breaks the camera and leaves in a huff)''
247* Series/UltramanZ unleashes his finishers and powers it up with the phrase "Chew on this!" In Japanese, this translates to Haruki crying out "Chesto!"
248* ''Series/YoungBlades'': In the first episode, Gerard's response to "Kneel and kiss the dust [Mazarin] might deign to tread" is "Kiss this." Leads to him getting arrested and his father getting murdered in a stunning display of DisproportionateRetribution.

251[[folder:Music This!]]
252* Music/{{Madonna}}'s "Film/DieAnotherDay": "Analyze this!"

258[[/folder]]
259
260[[folder:Newspaper Comics This!]]
261* Parodied in ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'', where Calvin is reading a parody of a '90s Dark and Gritty Superhero Comic, featuring such scintillating dialogue as:
262-->''Foolish Amazon! I am only toying with you!''\
263''YEAH?? Well toy with this!!''
264* One ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' goes like this:
265-->'''Jon:''' Well, here we are in beautiful Guano Guano, guys! Look, a native! Aloha dude!!\
266'''Islander:''' ''[Off panel]'' Aloha THIS![[note]]It is implied that he gave Jon [[FlippingTheBird the finger.]] [[/note]]\
267'''Jon:''' Uh, must be an obscure Guano Guano greeting.\
268'''Garfield:''' No, I think that's pretty universal.
269** One of the earliest arcs saw Garfield be angry for the entire week. In the Friday strip, Jon tries to calm him down by bringing up the concept of free floating anxiety, to which Garfield replies, "FREE-FLOAT THIS!" and throws his bowl of cat food in Jon's face.
270[[/folder]]
271
272[[folder:Professional Wrestling This!]]
273* One of Wrestling/RomanReigns' catchphrases after leaving Wrestling/TheShield is "Believe THAT!" which is adapted from the stable's catchphrase "Believe in The Shield."
274* [[https://youtu.be/Jl_UxFUUjpU?t=134 "OBSERVE THIS, BROTHER!"]] Wrestling/HulkHogan has a few words for the [[Wrestling/TheWrestlingObserverNewsletter ragsheets]] at [[Wrestling/WorldChampionshipWrestling WCW's]] ''World War 3 95''.
275[[/folder]]
276
277[[folder:Puppet Shows This!]]
278* A RunningGag with [[Franchise/TheMuppets Miss Piggy]], usually followed by a [[IKnowKarate karate chop]].
279-->'''Kermit''': Miss Piggy, I can explain.\
280'''Miss Piggy''': Oh, yeah?! Well, explain this! HIIIIIIIII-YAH!!!!
281[[/folder]]
282
283[[folder:Theater This!]]
284* Done self-consciously in ''Theatre/BackToTheEighties''.
285-->'''Feargal:''' These are not just hands; they are defensive weapons.\
286'''Michael:''' Yeah? Well defend this!
287[[/folder]]
288
289[[folder:Video Games This!]]
290* The fourth level of the first ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}'' game is called "Defend THIS!" It is focused on activating the titular ship's defence mechanisms (which somehow aid you in the level before they are activated).
291* ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'':
292** Creator/{{Bungie}} made "Defend THIS!" (originating from ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}'') into the name of an achievement in ''VideoGame/Halo3'', and there is a medal in ''VideoGame/HaloReach'' called "Reload This!"
293** Graffiti that reads "glass this," alluding to the Covenant's habit of plasma-bombarding planets, can be found around New Mombasa in ''VideoGame/Halo3ODST''.
294* Near the very end of ''VideoGame/DestroyAllHumans!'', just after Crypto has defeated Silhouette, she goes on about how Majestic is all over the world, and as long as Majestic exists, they will resist the Furon invasion. Crypto doesn't think so, and proceeds to stomp on the fatally wounded human, to finish her off.
295--> '''Silhouette:''' We will continue to resist you!\
296'''Crypto:''' Resist ''this''. *squish*
297* At the end of ''VideoGame/{{Headhunter}}: Redemption'', Leeza shouts "Compute this!" to the AI final boss, before delivering the CoupDeGrace.
298* At least two random bits of dialogue in ''VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefront 2'' qualify for this. Rebel soldiers sometimes tell the Imperials, who have gotten in the habit of calling them "Rebel scum" frequently, to "Rebel scum ''this!''", in a similar vein, Imperial Stormtroopers, when encountering Obi-wan, sometimes say "It's Obi-wan! Shall we put a disturbance in his Force?"
299* In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI'', Sephiroth LOVES to say this. [[BossBanter Over. And over.]]
300** Also, the game seems to {{Lampshade|Hanging}} the fact that you heal constantly, having the late boss [[spoiler: Riku]] say "Heal this!" before attacking you.
301** ''[[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy Dissidia]]'' didn't forget. "Dodge this." is the quote Sephiroth says before he [[ImplausibleFencingPowers uses Fervent Blow and sends several beams of light flying at you, and then he pretty much reappears in front/behind you to slash you again.]] And if he hits you with the attack? He'll just say "Here."
302*** Funnily enough, he doesn't say "Dodge this." on the aerial version of the attacked, which is called "Godspeed". He says "Fly." and "Not there."
303* Following up on the Sephiroth example, ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' fighters frequently use Verb This in their battle quotes, mostly as "Take this!" but Lightning shares "Dodge this!" with Sephiroth. Golbez, however, is the only one who says "Endure this!" before he blasts you with electricity.
304* ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'': "Regenerate this."
305* ''VideoGame/TalesOfMonkeyIsland'':
306** In Chapter 1:
307--->'''[=LeChuck=]:''' Do ya mind? I be in the middle of an unholy ceremony here!\
308'''Guybrush:''' Unholy THIS! (''attacks'')\
309'''Elaine:''' "Unholy this"?\
310'''Guybrush:''' Yeah, I know, but he didn't give me much to work with.
311** And in Chapter 4:
312--->[[spoiler:'''Guybrush:''' [=LeChuck=]! My new best pal! How'd you get out of jail?]]\
313[[spoiler:'''[=LeChuck=]:''' Oh, the guard was more than happy to release me once I convinced him that it was the only way to win Elaine's hand in UnholyMatrimony.]]\
314[[spoiler:'''Guybrush:''' (''confused'') Wait. Unholy what?]]\
315[[spoiler:'''[=LeChuck=]:''' [[IronicEcho Unholy THIS!]] (''stabs Guybrush with the Cutlass of Kaflu'')]]
316* Also referenced in the fourth episode of ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxTheDevilsPlayhouse'':
317-->'''Max:''' Unholy THIS!\
318'''Sam:''' What's that, little buddy?\
319'''Max:''' I don't know. I heard it in a video game.
320* ''VideoGame/Persona4'''s {{Superboss}}.
321-->'''[[spoiler:Margaret]]''': Withstand this!
322* ''VideoGame/LunarEternalBlue [[VideoGameRemake Complete]]'', Hiro when using a sword technique.
323-->'''Hiro''': Dodge THIS!
324* ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'':
325** Dark Phoenix's fireball spam. "Dodge THIS!"
326** Also said by Morrigan in her Finishing Shower Hyper Combo, which here is a MacrossMissileMassacre instead of the BeamSpam from previous games.
327* During the FinalBoss battle of ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite'':
328-->'''[[spoiler:[[FinalBoss Ultron-Omega]]]]''': [[AboveGoodAndEvil Good, evil... We have transcended such... limited concepts.]]\
329'''[[VideoGame/MegaManX X]]''': Yeah? Well, transcend THIS!
330* In ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', several of the Scout and Sniper's domination lines are in the form of "[Verb] that!"
331-->'''Scout:''' (to Demoman) "Blow ''that'' up, cyclops!"\
332'''Sniper:''' (To Heavy) "'''Dodge ''that!''''' Ya fat jigglin' butterball!"
333* In Radio/GTARadio, one of V-ROCK's taglines is "[[NewWaveMusic New Wave]] ''this'', pal! This is V-ROCK!"
334* The snarky clown in ''VideoGame/GrimFandango'' replies to Manny's request to "Twist me up one of them" (balloon animals) with "Yeah, yeah. Twist this, a'right?" He'll still go ahead and make whatever Manny asks for.
335* In the NES version of ''VideoGame/{{Uninvited}}'':
336-->[[spoiler:"Drink this!" you say, as you splash the water on the spirit!]]
337* ''[[VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice Sam & Max Season 1: Episode 6 - Bright Side of the Moon]]'' has Sam yell this to [[spoiler: Hugh Bliss, the Season BigBad, just as he's about to be boiled alive by a rocket engine]].
338-->'''Sam:''' Hey, [[spoiler:Hugh Bliss]]! Separate ''this''!
339* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'', Gippal says "Dodge this!" when using Bullseye.
340* In the Pixel Remaster of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'', after Sandy casts Reflect on Cindy, Mindy says, "Reflect this!" before casting the Delta Attack.
341* In ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'', D.Va says "Nerf this!" loud enough for everyone to hear upon activating her ultimate ability. Good thing, it's probably the easiest way to know when to run from [[SelfDestructMechanism the ensuing explosion]]. Lampshaded in ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm'', where [[StopPokingMe poking]] D.Va can have her say "I know I say "NERF THIS!" a lot, but please don't actually {{nerf}} this, okay?".
342* ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry7LoveForSail'': Uttered frequently by the narrator whenever you try an action in the wrong place.
343* ''VideoGame/MinecraftStoryMode'' Season 2 Episode 5: In the final battle with [[spoiler: Romeo]] Jesse says "Administrate this".
344* ''VideoGame/{{Stellaris}}'' has this possible exchange if one tries to contact the Unbidden:
345-->'''Xenophile empire:''' Tell us about yourselves. Help us understand you.\
346'''Unbidden:''' ...understand... this... you are food...
347* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'': During the camp interaction, Micah Bell starts antagonizing Charles Smith by sneering, "Hey redskin, go get me something to eat!" Charles, usually [[TheStoic stoic]], [[NotSoStoic dares him to repeat it again]], and Micah [[TemptingFate does]] repeat it... only for Charles to flat-out knock him down while growling, "Eat ''that''!"
348* In ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'', if Emily survives [[spoiler:her encounter with the {{wendigo}} in the mines but gets bitten by it]], the other characters, mistakenly believing that [[spoiler:the wendigo curse is TheVirus and that she's now a ZombieInfectee]], can argue over whether or not to kill her, with Ashley saying they should, Sam saying that they shouldn't, and Mike, as the one with the gun, casting [[DeadlyEuphemism the deciding vote]]. Either way, you discover soon after, by reading the Stranger's diary, that [[spoiler:the curse is not transmitted through bites]]. If Emily is still alive, she lets Ashley have it for saying that they should kill her on the basis of what turned out to be bad evidence, in pure AlphaBitch fashion.
349-->'''Ashley:''' Please, Emily, please just try to understand-\
350'''Emily:''' Understand the palm of my hand, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]. ''<cue massive BitchSlap that knocks Ashley to the floor>''
351* Goodman's victory quote [[MirrorMatch against himself]] in ''VideoGame/NEOGEOBattleColiseum'' is "Ponder ''this''!"
352* ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda'': A hypothetical version is raised by Vetra Nyx, who mentions in the aftergame that Ryder's squad are getting guns named after them. She's looking forward to the idea of going "Nyx this!" But she admits it might need some work.
353[[/folder]]
354
355[[folder:Webcomics This!]]
356* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'':
357** Marigold tries, but doesn't get any better than "I'll wash ''you'' more than twice a year!"
358** When Faye does some minor repair work on Roko, Yay warns Faye that they'll be scrutinizing Faye's work when it's done. Faye responds by telling Yay to "Scrutinize my farts."
359* ''Webcomic/HarkAVagrant:'' [[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=288 "Handcuff THIS"]]
360* There's a webcomic that has this trope in the title: ''WebComic/NerfThis''.
361* Ariel in ''{{Webcomic/Drowtales}}'' says "[[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10263 Catch]] ''[[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10263 this]]''!" to Kalki [[spoiler:her half sister, who not half an hour previously chopped off one of her arms]] after Kalki tells her to "catch" when throwing a tainted mana blast at her.

364* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': In [[https://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-20-page-20 Chapter 20]], as Vedika fires a flare gun point-blank into a monster's mouth, the AltText admonishes her for ''not'' saying "Eat this!"
365* Crops up frequently in the original ''WebComic/NuzlockeComics'', such as when [[http://www.nuzlocke.com/comics/pokemon-hard-mode/page/35/ Giovanni exclaimed that he was attempting to redeem himself]] ([[FlippingTheBird "Redeem THIS."]]), and when [[http://www.nuzlocke.com/comics/pokemon-hard-mode/page/32/ Sawyer killed the Hypno in Berry Forest before Ruby could catch it]] ("Catch this.").
366[[/folder]]
367
368[[folder:Web Original This!]]
369* ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'': Near the end of the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' episode, the Nerd is ready to blast the NES game to bits with a gun, but after a few seconds he decides not to, saying that the game designers "did the best they could, given the circumstances" but should get their entertainment someplace else. Then we get this exchange with a Metron that even surprises the Nerd:
370-->'''Metron:''' By sparing that fucking game, you have demonstrated the advanced restraint of mercy.\
371'''AVGN:''' Mercy ''this'', motherfucker! (''shoots the Metron'')
372* A ''Website/CollegeHumor'' short named "Cell Phone Reunion" where iPhone and [=BlackBerry=] start fighting. At one point, [=BlackBerry=] says, "At least I know what I'm hitting. Look at you. ''Ooh. Touch-screen. Look at my touch-screen.'' I've got something you can touch." *grabs crotch* "Right here!" *points at it with his other hand* "Dial this up!"
373* ''WebAnimation/MonkeyWrench'': In "Ghost Egg", Scratch [[TermsOfEndangerment repeatedly calls Shrike his amigo]] while trying to shake him down for his passenger Nobert.

375
376[[folder:Western Animation This!]]
377* Frylock vs. WWWYZZERDD.com in ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce''
378-->'''WWWYZZERDD.com''': But it comes in this decorative tin!\
379'''Frylock''': Decorate ''this! (blasts tin out of WWWYZZERDD.com's hand with his laser eyes)''
380* ''WesternAnimation/TheBatmanVsDracula'' has Alfred essentially recreating the ''Matrix'' example by shooting Dracula in the head with Batman's vampirism-cure needles and saying, "Bite this!" It doesn't work.
381* ''WesternAnimation/FinalSpace'': Bolo in "[[Recap/FinalSpaceS3E1AndIntoTheFire And Into the Fire]]" when he's beating down the reptile Titan:
382-->"''FEEL '''THAT!'''[==]''"
383* Coop from ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR'', during his fight with the R.E.G.I.S. Mk. V, who [[WhyWontYouDie refused to stay down no matter how much Coop wailed on it]].
384-->'''R.E.G.I.S. [=Mk.=] V''': [[AC:The R.E.G.I.S. Mk. V mocks your futile attempts at destroying it.]]\

399* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'':
400** In "Skunked", after Rigby is sprayed by a [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent wereskunk]], he begins slowly becoming one himself. At the episode's climax, the original wereskunk says that he and Rigby will split the blame for their actions 50/50, but an almost fully-transformed Rigby has acquired the [[TomatoSkunkStinkCure tomato paste]] that will cure them both and is about to smash the can with a sledgehammer:
401--->'''Rigby:''' Split this.

411* In one interview on ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast'' Space Ghost talks to a pest exterminator. Treating him like a superhero (which he does with all his guests) SG asks him if he has any witty one-liners he says while fighting bugs. The exterminator says "Take this." Space Ghost tests it out, decides he likes it, and asks if he can use it.
412* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': In "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V", when Barnacle Boy gets fed up with Mermaid Man treating him like a child despite them both being old men and getting him a Pipsqueak Patty instead of a regular Krabby Patty, on the grounds that a Krabby Patty is too big for him:
413-->'''Mermaid Man:''' Your Pipsqueak is getting cold. Shall I feed you?\
414'''Barnacle Boy:''' ''[slapping the patty out of Mermaid Man's hand]'' Feed this, old man!
415* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'': In "St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses", Star finds a poster that reads, "Embrace a Princess Mentality, Wash Away Your Individuality". Enraged, she screams, "Embrace this!" and attacks it.

417** In the episode "The Answer", [[PlanetOfSteves two]] [[RedShirt Rubies]] (gem on left shoulder and gem on right hand) are squabbling about who's going to punch the rebel gems the hardest once they arrive. "Our" Ruby (left palm) tries to be a smartass about it, but it backfires.
418--->'''Ruby (Left palm)''' Oh, come on. We'll punch them together when we [[FusionDance fuse]]. That's why they sent, uh, ''three'' of us. \
419'''Ruby (Left shoulder)''' THREE THIS! ''(punches Left palm Ruby)''

421--->'''[[spoiler:Lars]]''': EAT ''THIS!''
422* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'':
423** Less heroic example: Cyborg, telling his robotic counterpart (he was disguised as "Stone" in order to [[TheMole infiltrate H.I.V.E. Academy]]) "[[{{Catchphrase}} Booyah]] ''this!''"
424** Can't forget Robin during the Apprentice arc. "MOTIVATE THIS!"
425** Or Starfire when she saved her friends from the Cironielian Chrysalis Eater. "Devour THIS!"

432* In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' after insulting his doctoring skills, Starscream tells Knock Out callously to continue buffing the comatose Megatron; they want him his best for the memorial. Obviously being a children's show (or a children's time slot, anyway), Knock Out cannot visibly "up yours" Starscream, but he makes a vague gesture with his right hand reminiscent of it, and you get the idea.
433-->'''Knock Out:''' Buff ''this.''
434* In the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'', Omi demands the new Xiaolin recruit Raimundo treat him with respect. He then responds with "respect this!" and pantses him. Later in the episode, Omi does the same thing to distract and defeat Jack Spicer.
435* ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'':
436** For ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, it's "[Verb] ''[[WolverineClaws these]].''" Here instead of in ComicBooks because, while he probably says it at least once in everything, it was practically a {{Catchphrase}} in this '90s cartoon.
437** A Sentinel orders Gambit to stand aside in order to "apprehend" Jubilee. He punctuates his response with a playing card to the face.
438[[/folder]]
439
440[[folder:Real Life This!]]
441* The program '''Hijack This''' has an appropriate title as a response to computer hijackers.
442* At the height of HypeBacklash over HipHop in TheEighties, when there was controversy over sampling and copyrights, "Sample This" T-shirts were popular.
443* The programming language Python has an easter egg that you can activate by typing "import this". The origin (which makes it clear that this trope was intended) is explained [[http://www.wefearchange.org/2010/06/import-this-and-zen-of-python.html here]].
444* Prior to the mid-1980s, psychiatrists assumed that [[SplitPersonality multiple personality]] was invariably a crippling mental disorder that required [[SplitPersonalityMerge integration]] to become "healthy". And since the prevailing narratives in professional and popular literature -- mostly by male therapists telling of their heroic work with [[DamselInDistress female-body MP clients]] -- for "healthy," read StayInTheKitchen. In 1986, Truddi Chase published ''Literature/WhenRabbitHowls'', detailing the Troops' decision to form a cooperating SplitPersonalityTeam instead. A "pro-choice on integration" movement began among MP clients and some therapists. Newsletters like ''[[http://manyvoicespress.org/newsletter.html Many Voices]]'' carried ads for clothing, jewelry etc. made by multiple clients. One of the most popular was a shirt which had printed on the back "INTEGRATE THIS", with an arrow pointing downward.
