When the hero has just killed someone, often in a gruesome manner, they do a Bond One Liner.

JamesBond does this in every single one of his films.

The classic Bond One Liner is typically a bad pun on the manner in which the victim was dispatched. It may be a sign that the character has [[HeroicSociopath sociopathic tendencies]].

Alternately this may happen when the hero is discussing the victim with a third character often with the third character wondering why the victim is not present.

Examples:
* (After [[EveryCarIsAPinto a hearse explodes]]) "I think they were on their way to a funeral."
* (After decapitating someone) "He really lost his head."
* (After disemboweling someone) "I'll say this for him: he had a lot of guts."
* (After forcing a grenade down someone's throat) "Something he ate disagreed with him."
* (After throwing someone to a shark) "He disagreed with something that ate him."
* (After tethering someone to a rocket) "He got rather carried away."
* (After killing someone with ninja throwing stars) "It just wasn't in the stars for him."
* (After shooting someone with a harpoon) "I think he got the point."
* (After shooting someone with a hunting rifle) "Thank you for playing TheMostDangerousGame."
* (After throwing someone out a plate glass window) "Smashing."
* (After [[ElectrifiedBathtub throwing an electric heater into someone's filled bathtub]]) "Shocking."
* (After ripping someone's heart out) "I always knew you were '''heartless!'''"
* (After literally throwing someone under a bus) "Traffic around here is murder."
* (After tossing someone into some sort of grinding apparatus in a printing plant) "They'll print anything these days."
* (After putting a hapless {{Mook}} through an interrogation that would [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique make Jack Bauer proud]], finding out that there's only 15 mooks in the building total, and shooting the mook in the head) "You mean fourteen?"
* (After slicing off someone's arms with a circular saw, dunking their legs in liquid nitrogen, incinerating their torso with a flamethrower, kicking their charred body [[StuffedInTheFridge into a refrigerator]] and condemning them to the bottom of the Arctic ocean) "Ouch."

Alternately, a Bond One Liner can be a snarky response to the now-dead enemy's attempted PreMortemOneLiner, or an IronicEcho of something they said to the hero earlier.

Note that while William Peterson's one liners on ''{{CSI}}'', David Caruso's one liners on the ''Miami'' sister show and Jerry Orbach's on ''LawAndOrder'' are often similar in content, they fail the test for this trope, as Grissom and Briscoe were never the killers, only [[SnarkBait snarkers]]. But see: GrissomOneLiner.

Also, when said ''before'' killing, it's a PreMortemOneLiner.

[[folder: Anime and Manga ]]

* At the end of the first episode of the ''ReadOrDie'' {{OVA}}, Nancy uses one of these just before she applies an anchor to Otto Lilienthal's glider, sending him spiraling to his death on the Statue of Liberty. "Thanks for flying the friendly skies."

* Comic/[[{{Animesque}} Amerimanga]] LampshadeHanging: in ''DirtyPair: A Plague of Angels'', Kei and Yuri reveal that their [[HeroesRUs employer]], the 3WA, included a "Combat Quips" course teaching this trope along with the rest of their training.
* The final issue of ''[[UltimateMarvel The Ultimates vol 3]]'' gives us the worst BondOneLiner imaginable. After a robot calls the Wasp "the mother" (ItMakesSenseInContext), Ant-Man, her ex-husband, destroys it and shouts "If she's the mother...'''I'm the mother-fucker'''!" [[MemeticMutation Do Not Want!]]
* In ''{{Watchmen}}'' Rorschach kills a mook trying to arc weld his way into Rorschachs cell by standing on the bed and smashing his toilet with his foot so that the water would reach the poorly insulated arc welder and shock the guy. In TheFilmOfTheBook this was changed to him smashing the mooks head into the toilet and ''then'' shocking him, but the follow up line was the same.
--> '''Rorschach:''' Hrm. Never used toilet to dispose of sewage before. Obvious really.
* The formula for a [[TheAuthority Midnighter]] line seems to be taking a well known saying and substituting the word "me."
-->'''Midnighter''': It's not the fall that kills you. It's me.
-->'''Midnighter''': Look both ways before you cross me.
-->'''Midnighter''': Live by the sword, die by me.
-->'''Midnighter''': People shouldn't be afraid of their governments. They should be afraid of me.

[[folder: Film ]]

* Of course, the JamesBond movies have used every variation of these, but one of the most memorable is in ''TheWorldIsNotEnough''. The villain Bond is dispatching is a former lover, and she tries to convince him not to do it with "You wouldn't kill me. You'd miss me". Bond's ice-cold reply after shooting her? "I never miss".
** Averted in ''TomorrowNeverDies''. After seeing the villain [[spoiler:Media mogul Elliot Carver]] dispatched, he inexplicably fails to say: [[spoiler:"What a carve up."]]
*** He did, however, after dispatching a {{Mook}} by tossing him into a printing press, say "They'll print anything these days."
*** Not to mention ejecting a pilot from the rear seat of a fighter plane directly into a solid object. "Back-seat driver!"
** In ''{{Goldfinger}}'', Bond kills a henchman by actually putting a heater in a bath. He turns to the woman who betrayed him earlier and says "Shocking, absolutely shocking". After Goldfinger gets sucked out of a plane, Bond tells Galore that he is "playing his golden harp".
** ''CasinoRoyale'', as a somewhat grittier remake of the series, mostly avoids this.
*** But still gets it in during the opening sequence when Dryden, trying to distract Bond, assures him that while the first kill is always difficult the second will be... Well, [[SedgwickSpeech he was about to say "easier" when he gets a bullet in the head]]. Bond informs the corpse "Yes, considerably."
*** "That last hand... nearly killed me," returning to the poker table after recovering from a fatal-for-a-few-seconds poisoning.
*** Also averted after he shoots a man in the eye with a nailgun. No "nailed" line is ever mentioned.
*** "Everyone will know you died [[FreudWasRight scratching my balls!]]
**** He does get sorta kinda nonverbal one where after stabing Alex Dimitrios to death in the middle of a restaurant ([[CrowningMomentOfAwesome without anyone noticing]]) he drops the body on the chair and gives him a pat on the cheek.
*** RiffTrax considers that the inexperience also counts: "Well, it looks like I just killed that guy. Sorry I'm new. I haven't come up with any witty one-liners yet."
** A line in ''QuantumOfSolace'' amused the hell out of this troper:
--->Bond: "Tell her Slate was a dead end."
--->Agent: "Slate was a dead end."
--->M: [[GenreSavvy "Damn it, he killed him!"]]
** "He disagreed with something that ate him", originally from the novel of ''LiveAndLetDie'' and used in the ''LicenceToKill'', is in fact a villain line, written on a piece of paper with Felix Leiter's shark-eaten and still alive body.
** This troper likes the one-liners for TheDragon and the BigBad in ''TheLivingDaylights''. The former: Bond slashes his shoelaces when the villain is hanging onto his foot out of the back of a plane, sending him plummeting to his death. "He got the boot." The latter: Bond detonates an explosive charge, collapsing a statue of Wellington onto the guy and crushing him against a diorama of the Battle of Waterloo, which was quite clearly set up so Bond could say "he met his Waterloo", which he does.
** Bond villains are not above giving their own lines, most notably gay hitmen Mister Kidd and Mister Wint in ''DiamondsAreForever''. After dropping a scorpion down someone's neck they explain his absence by saying he's been "bitten by the bug!" and after blowing up a helicopter utter the proverb "If God had meant man to fly he would have given him wings." They also give the occasional PreMortemOneLiner during their repeated attempts to kill Bond.
** Bond is directly parodied in this Rob and Elliot comic : [[http://www.robandelliot.cycomics.com/archive.php?id=310 ''It has to be the most depressing thing in the world for James Bond to just shoot a Guy.'']]
** Parodied in ''{{That Mitchell and Webb Look}}'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIfSQW499Xc]], at about 1:38.
** Oddly enough, in Die Another Day, the BondOneLiner goes to Jinx, who, when Bond enters to [[spoiler:find Frost dead, due to a stab wound in the sternum]], she states "I think I broke her heart."
* Every movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger in it, except possibly ''{{Junior}}''. For example, "Consider that a divorce" after putting a bullet through the head of Sharon Stone (when she says, "You wouldn't kill me, I'm your wife," while grabbing a knife and preparing to stab him) in ''TotalRecall''.
** One of the expansion packs for ''RedAlert'' included Tesla Troopers who made {{oneliner}}s in a Arnie-style Austrian accent. "''Shock''ing."
** Oh, come ''on''. "Let off some steam, Bennet", anyone? Corny ''and'' phallic.
*** Pound for pound, ''{{Commando}}'' takes the cake: "Remember how I said I'd kill you last?...I lied." (After dropping Sully off a cliff): "I had to let him go." "Please don't wake my friend, he's dead tired." "I eat Green Berets for breakfast, and right now I'm very hungry." (Arnold's old commander shows up with the cavalry and asks if there's anything left for them): "Only bodies."
****It should be noted that the film's writer, Joseph Loeb III, would later go by the name of Jeph Loeb, and is, in fact, the writer of the awful Ultimates III one-liner mentioned above.
** ''{{Eraser}}'' has him shoot a rampaging alligator (don't ask) and utter the immortal line "You're luggage!" as he shoots it.
** Also in ''{{Eraser}}'', he parks [[spoiler:the limo containing the celebrating {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s]] on a set of train tracks just as the train is coming. When he gets back to his allies, he tells them "They caught a train."
** In ''{{Predator}}'' he puts a big ol' knife into a terrorist and tells him to "Stick around!"
** In ''TrueLies'', Arnold is piloting a jet plane, and has a bad guy hanging on to one of the missiles. Arnold goes, "You're fired," and fires the missile into a skyscraper.
** ''TheRunningMan'' alone could provide a career's worth of these. "First he was Sub Zero, now he's just plain Zero!" *cuts a man in half* "He had to split!" *after defeating Fireball with his own methods* "Need a light?" *After sending the BigBad through a soda sign* "Well that hit the spot!"
** Frequently spoofed on ''[=~Late Night with Conan O'Brien~=]'': the fake Arnold will describe ludicrous scenarios and his "witty" one-liners, such as claiming he beat up an earthquake and then said "Let's get ready to ''not'' rumble."
*** In another such encounter, Arnie describes a plot where he conquers the world with an army of clones, before stating, "Then I will take the cigar from my mouth, turn to the camera and say... IT'S CLONELY AT THE TOP."
** No mention ''LastActionHero''? (After shooting a bad guy that was chasing him with an Ice Cream Truck, Arnold said, "Iced that guy. To cone a phrase".
**[[TotalRecall "SEE YOU AT THE PARTY RICHTER!!!!"" *Tosses severed arms off lift*]]
** Notably averted in the ''Conan'' movie: no one-liners whatsoever.
* Parodied in the ''AustinPowers'' films, where Austin uses [[HurricaneOfPuns one of these after another]] until told to stop. He usually even admits he went a little too far when so admonished.
* A bit of LampshadeHanging takes place in ''HotFuzz'' during the following exchange:
-->'''Danny Butterman:''' How's Lurch?\\
'''Nicholas Angel:''' He's in the freezer.\\
'''Danny Butterman:''' Did you say "Cool off"?\\
'''Nicholas Angel:''' Er, no, I didn't say anything actually.\\
'''Danny Butterman:''' Shame.\\
'''Nicholas Angel:''' There was a bit you missed earlier, when I distracted him with a cuddly monkey, and I said, "Playtime's over" and I hit him with the Peace Lily.\\
'''Danny Butterman:''' You're off the fucking chain!
** In the commentary, Simon Pegg admits that Jessica Stevenson (who co-wrote and co-starred in their sitcom ''{{Spaced}}'') later came to him after seeing the movie herself and told him he should have used the pun, after Lurch falls into the frozen-pea-filled freezer, "Rest in peas."
** Lampshade hung again after the heroes have watched the villain manage to escape after all their efforts...only to [[spoiler:crash his car into a tree less than 100 yards away]], thanks to [[spoiler:judicious use of swan]].
--->'''Nicholas Angel:''' I feel like I should say something smart.
--->'''Danny Butterman:''' You don't have to say anything at all.
** This troper feels the line could have been: [[spoiler:"Well, that was his swan song".]]
*** That my friend is a case of a StealthPun.
* The movie ''{{Speed}}'' has Keanu Reeves' character battling Dennis Hopper's BigBad on top of a speeding subway train. Hopper has the advantage, battering Reeves around and strangling him while talking about winning because he's "smarter". Reeves then pushes his head upwards as a low-hanging light comes up, cleaving the villain's head right off. He then utters the line "Yeah? Well I'm taller!". Later, after rejoining his companion who asks where the villain is, he simply replies "He lost his head."
** It took this troper an embarrassingly long time to get that the "I'm taller" line was a Bond One-Liner. KeanuReeves is already several inches taller than Dennis Hopper.
* In ''UniversalSoldier'', Dolph Lundgren's character gets shoved into a wood-chipper at the end of the climactic battle. When Van Damme's character is asked where he is, he simply shrugs and says: "Around."
* ''Film/ShootEmUp'' is filled with Smith, the main character, muttering about things he hates--guys over 40 with ponytails ("It doesn't make you look younger"), drivers who don't obey road rules ("Is it really so important that you get where you're going that much faster?"), and so on. The main bad guy, meanwhile, is clearly someone who feels empowered by his weapon, but is notably timid without it or when it's useless (such as when speaking with his wife)--even as he denies, as a supporting villain obliquely alleges, that he's a "pussy with a gun". At the end of the film, after Smith kills the man who's dogged him all the way through the movie, he reveals the thing he hates most: [[spoiler:A pussy with a gun.]]
* Suprisingly enough, the 2008 ''SpeedRacer'' film contains THE GREATEST ONE LINER IN ALL OF FICTION.
-->''Pops has just downed a ninja, in runs mom and Trixie''
--> '''Trixie''': Oh my god, was that a ninja?
--> '''Pops''' More like a ''non''-ja.
* TheUntouchables: Eliot Ness throws Frank Nitti off a rooftop onto a car; a few minutes later:
--> '''George Stone:''' Where is Nitti?\\
'''Ness:''' He's in the car.
* Brother Gilbert gets off a few Bible-based examples in ''{{Dragonheart}}''.
* Played with in ''LethalWeapon 2'' when Murtaugh is attacked by an assassin in his home. The fight rolls into the garage where Roger picks up (you guessed it) a nail gun. However, after slaying the assassin, he averts the trope by remaining silent. Then ''another'' assassin shows up who is similarly dispatched. He then ''subverts'' the ''aversion'' with, "Nailed you both."
* There are a few of them appearing in ''{{TMNT}}'', eventually leading to this conversation after a character has taken a fall:
->'''April''': Winters?
->'''Michaelangelo''': Looks more like fall. Get it?
->'''Leonardo''': Mikey, remember our talk?
* ''HudsonHawk'' has a few of these as well. The butler gives the CorruptCop his "cut" via blades in his sleeves. Later, Hawk decapitates said butler and remarks "Guess you won't be going to that hat convention, Alfred!"
* ''{{Hellboy}}'', after killing the first Sammael with the third rail of the New York Subway System: "I'm fireproof. [lights a cigar with his still-burning hand] You're not."
* Completely averted in ''{{Cobra}}'', at the end of the film. Stallone's character, Cobretti has just [[spoiler: impaled the Night Slasher on a hook that eventually carries him into a furnace where the villain burns to death.]] Considering all the crap this guy has put Cobretti through by this point, it's quite surprising to find that he says absolutely nothing, just watches in silence.
* Parodied in (what else?) ''{{Dogma}}''. Bartleby and Loki are intimidating a board of directors, and one of them reaches for the phone to contact security. Loki hurls a switchblade that impales the phone:
-->'''Loki:''' ''(heavily)'' All lines ... are currently down.
-->'''Bartleby:''' Will you ''please'' cut that out--
-->'''Loki:''' Oh, come on! That was great!
* [[{{Film/Transformers}} Transformers]] (2007)
-->'''Jazz:''' You want a piece of me Megatron?! You want a piece?!
-->'''Megatron:''' No, I want ''two''! (''[[BlackDudeDiesFirst tears Jazz in half]]'')
** Shouldn't this count as a PreMortemOneLiner?
** Optimus Prime gets one in during ''[[{{Film/Transformers}} Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]''. In the grand finale, [[spoiler:after thoroughly wrecking The Fallen and dropping his corpse to the ground, he quips "I rise...you fall." Not really much of a pun on the way he dispatched The Fallen, but rather a pun on the name "The Fallen".]]
** [[OneSceneWonder Sideswipe]] brags awesomely with "Damn, I'm good." after [[SingleStrokeBattle dispatching]] Sideways in the first scene of Revenge of the Fallen.
* StarWars Episode V gives us this one from Darth Vader after choking the subordinate who loses the ''Millennium Falcon''.
-->"Apology accepted, Captain Needa."
* A non-lethal example occurs in the movie ''{{Chocolat}}''. Josephine, after hitting her abusive husband in the head with a [[FryingPanOfDoom frying pan]], utters:
-->Who says I can't use a skillet?
* [[JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack Applesauce]], [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]!

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Live Action Television ]]

* ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' both used and subverted this trope, as Buffy would nearly always have a Bond One Liner after (or just before) killing a baddie, but occasionally she would be mocked for using a stupid-sounding one, or the vampire would interrupt her while she was saying one.
** [[LampshadeHanging Brought to the attention of the audience]], when Willow tries to do a OneLiner in the first episode of season three ("Anne"), and when it doesn't work out, she explains that Buffy always says something clever, and she thinks it throws the bad guys off their guard.
** Also parodied in "The Zeppo", when Xander tries to pull off a Buffy-style one-liner.
-->'''Xander:''' You know, you gotta learn that if you're gonna play with fire then you'll have to be... ''(bad guy runs away) ... HEY! I wasn't finished!
** In the very first (two-part) episode, in a dark nightclub, about to be killed by a vampire, Buffy shouts out "But there's one thing you forgot about... SUNRISE!" and throws a microphone stand through a nearby closed window. As the vampire cringes in anticipation of his death, she explains "...It's in a couple hours, moron" and stakes the vampire. How fun.
** The show even goes so far as to imply that this is one of her ChosenOne powers: when she (temporarily) loses her abilities in "Helpless," she remarks to a recently-defeated foe "If I were at full Slayer strength, I'd probably be punning about now."
*** Although this just might be considered a pun in itself...
** On the show {{OneLiner}}s are apparently the most tricky part of programing a life like [[RobotGirl sex robot]] as the Buffybot always screws those up...though they're still funny, if only because they're surreal.
*** Speaking of Buffy, the original movie used one to subvert a vampire's self-important rant: When the vamp brags to Buffy about how powerful and invincible he is, Luke Perry's character suddenly comes from behind, impales him on a piece of wood, and says: "And now, you're a coat rack!"
** Willow's attempt to program the Buffybot to mimic the real slayer's style fails miserably, resulting in lines of gibberish after a successful slay.
---> That'll put marzipan in your pie plate, Bingo!
***Subverted slightly in the series finale, after Buffy [[spoiler:kills Caleb by splitting him in two with her new scythe]]. When Angel asks her where he is, she replies "He had to split", immediately after which she almost bursts out into laughter.
* Used and mocked simultaneously by the Fourth Doctor on ''DoctorWho'': "I suppose [[CouldSayItBut you could say]] the yolk's on him, if you were the sort of person who said that sort of thing, which fortunately I'm not."
** Unfortunately, the Sixth Doctor ''became'' that kind of person when, after witnessing two orderlies fall into a horrible certain death in an acid bath (owing to circumstances that the Doctor, if not directly, was at least partially responsible for), he murmurs "Forgive me if I don't join you." with a bit of a smirk on his face. Everyone in the world pretty much agreed that that was a bit too far.
*** Far worse was the time he killed one of his enemies (admittedly a murderous cannibal who was chasing him with a knife) by clamping a cyanide pad over his mouth. Not only was he ''directly'' responsible for the villain's death, he followed it by quipping "Your just desserts" over his food-obsessed opponent's corpse. He later told his companions that the villain had been "moth-balled".
* Parodied in an episode of ''SheSpies'', where D.D. and Shayne spend several minutes trying to guess what one-liner Cassie will use after dealing with the villain of the week.
* The ''{{MST3K}}'' episode ''Danger! Death Ray'' has the bots continuously chiding the Bond-esque hero of the movie, who can't seem to come up with any but the lamest of Bond One Liners (when he remembers to say anything at all).
-->'''Crow:''' Four people down and not a single quip!
** And, of course, they're infamous for adding their own quips.
--->'''Servo:''' (During ''Mitchell'', as bleeding goon falls off the back of a speedboat) So long, ''chum!''
**In ''Secret Agent Super Dragon'', another lame spy film on MST, Joel explains how all spies have to go through a training regiment that includes a class on "Post-kill puns".
* Both a GrissomOneLiner ''and'' a BondOneLiner, Horatio Caine of ''[[CSIMiami CSI: Miami]]'' is told he is a dead man. He [[InstantDeathBullet promptly kills]] the man who said that and replies "Join the club." Cue the theme music. ([[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome YEAAAAAAHHHH!]])
** Weebl and Bob [[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/wab/CSI/ make an entire episode out of lampshading Caine's one-liners]].
* Occasionally used in the 60s spy series ''TheManFromUNCLE'', usually delivered by Napoleon Solo after he has dispatched a THRUSH mook. Given when the series aired and its premise, very possibly a deliberate {{Homage}} to JamesBond.
* A variant from ''{{Flashpoint}}'''s first-season episode "Planets Aligned". The bad guy has a six-shot revolver, and has spent five, each shot causing the two [=SRU=] members chasing him to count it off: "That's three..." Two [=SRU=] members are trying to get him to stand down. In desperation, the gunman turns the revolver on himself.
-->"That's six."
* Played with in ''TheMiddleman'', after Wendy sneaks up behind a villain and injects him with tranquilizer:
--> '''Middleman''': Like a Bengal elephant.
--> '''Wendy''': The one who does the takedown gets to say the catchphrase.
--> '''Middleman''': Oh. I'm sorry. Be my guest.
--> '''Wendy''': Swift justice. ''(blows on tranquilizer gun)''
--> '''Middleman''': Swift justice? Really?
--> '''Wendy''' ''(defensively)'': It was in my delivery!
--> '''Middleman''': Ah.
In {{Farscape}}, Aeryn probably has the best one. It's minutes after she gave birth, in a giant firefight on a scorched planet. War Minister Akhna - one of the biggest bad people out there - points her gun at Aeryn's husband's head and monologues about how he's going to die. Aeryn calmly shoots her, and as Akhna sinks to the ground deadpans "It's a boy. In case you were wondering." It wasn't exactly a pun, but this troper found it hilariously awesome anyway.
*One of this troper's favorite sketches from ''[=~Monty Python's Flying Circus~=]'' is The Bishop, whose protagonist is a bishop (yes, with the crook and big hat and everything) whose attempts to thwart Mafia-type murders of the clergy always end in Bond One Liners.
* In ''Series/{{Heroes}}'', after his twisted game of RussianRoulette, Claire smashes a chair over [[PeoplePuppets puppetmaster]] Doyle's head and tersely says "Show's over."
* Garak in ''StarTrek DeepSpaceNine'' loved these. After snidely berating then gunning down an old rival Cardassian, he quips "A pity. I rather liked him."

[[folder: Literature ]]

* Subverted/parodied in two of TerryPratchett's ''{{Discworld}}'' novels. In ''Discworld/TheFifthElephant'', Samuel Vimes mutters "The hell with it" after killing the villain in self-defense, because if he ''had'' been able to joke about killing someone, then it would have been too much like murder. In a later novel, ''Discworld/GoingPostal'', the narration indicates that if protagonist Moist von Lipwig had been "a hero," he would have thrown off a one-liner after tricking a monster into a gruesome death, but "since he wasn't a hero, he threw up."
** During the above statement where Vimes remarked about the distastefulness of the Bond oneliner, he did think of a few possible lines, and rejected them.
** Sorta played straight in ''[[Discworld/GuardsGuards Guards! Guards!]]'' After the Watch corner the villain, Captain Vimes orders Carrot to "throw the book at him". Carrot, who [[BluntMetaphorsTrauma has trouble with metaphors]], literally throws his copy of ''The Laws and Ordinances of the Cities of Ankh and Morpork'' at the villain, causing him to stumble backwards over a ledge and fall to his death. Sergeant Colon remark that he was "killed by a metaphor," which Nobby Nobbs follows up with "Looks more like it was the ground."
* SandyMitchell's ''CiaphasCain'' novels are replete with these, some witty, some silly, all ''hilarious''.
* In the very first ''{{Animorphs}}'' book, Visser Three [[spoiler:kills Elfangor by morphing into a monster and eating him.]]
--->'''Visser Three''':
--->**[[CSIMiami YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!]]
* ''Painfully'' subverted in the fourth book of ''{{Warhammer 40000}}: [[GauntsGhosts Gaunt's Ghosts]]''.
* If this StarWars example doesn't count, it comes seriously close. In Luke Skywalker's fight with [[ExpandedUniverse Lumiya]], when she slips and falls, he grabs her arm. After saying "I'd never let you fall" he cuts her head off. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Awesome!]]
** This editor [[YourMileageMayVary respectfully]] [[CharacterDerailment begs]] [[MoralDissonance to]] [[DethroningMomentOfSuck differ]].
* [[TheBible Judges 15:16]]- ''Then Samson said, "With a donkey's jawbone I have made donkeys of them. With a donkey's jawbone I have killed a thousand men."'' Even more awesome when you substitute "ass" for "donkey."
** According to this troper's NIV footnotes, [[IncrediblyLamePun the Hebrew words for "donkey" and "heap" are similar]].
** One possible translation made to preserve the pun is something like "With the jawbone of an ass, I have heaped them in a mass."
* Parodied in ''Alcatraz Versus the Scrivener's Bones'', when Alcatraz unleashes a HurricaneOfPuns using the word [[spoiler:soul]] after [[spoiler:tricking the VillainOfTheWeek into taking a book in the Library of Alexandria - which constitutes a contract to allow the Library's curators to claim your soul]]. All right, so it's not ''technically'' killing, but that's part of the joke.

* Also parodied in one of the "Party Planner" sketches on [[TheBBC BBC Radio 4]]'s ''{{That Mitchell and Webb Sound}}'' (and on the TV adaptation). When the two characters are trying to decide whether or not to invite JamesBond to a party, one recounts an event from a previous party at which Bond threw somebody out of a window for saying that his cigarette case was "gay". The victim landed on a railing spike and was paralysed.
-->'''Webb:''' Everyone's in shock, apart from James, who strolls over to the window, looks down and says: "What a piercing bore."\\
'''Mitchell:''' "Piercing bore"? There's no such expression!\\
'''Webb:''' Well, the railing was next to a crusher. It was pretty clear that he'd meant to say "crushing bore", but had missed, and was making the best of a bad job.

The one liner? [[spoiler:Geshundheit]]. However, said villain survived.
* In the first game of the''{{Legacy of Kain}}'' series, Moebius tells the vampire Kain that he has seen his future and tha he will die, then Kain calmly reminds him "But I am dead, and so are you" and then chops off his head.
* Many boss battles in ''The HouseOfTheDead III'' and ''4'':

--> '''Kate:''' (after defeating ThatOneBoss The Star, who had challenged Kate and James to a "test of strength") "Looks like you're the one who failed the test!"
**Even more so in House of the dead Overkill, Where everyone (including the narrator) do this all the time:
--> '''Agent G:''' (after killing a clown in the carnival) "Stop clowning around."
* {{Lampshaded}} in ''KingdomOfLoathing'', at the end of the level 12 quest. In fact, there are two versions, depending on [[spoiler:which side you defeated]]:
-->After [[spoiler:blowing up the hippy camp via gas leak: You stare open-mouthed at the carnage that used to be the hippy camp, then remember you're obligated to make a witty remark. "Thanks, guys," you say, as you strut off the battlefield, "it's been a gas."]]
-->After [[spoiler:blowing up the frat house: You stare blankly at the destruction around you, then realize you're obligated to make a witty remark. "Remember, kids," you say as you strut off the field, "idiots and explosives don't mix."]]
* The video game ''{{Gun}}'' uses this in Hoodoo Brown's death.
--> '''Hoodoo Brown:''' I'M HOODOO BROWN!\\
'''*BANG*''' '''*CRASH*'''\\
'''Colton:''' You were.
* Obligatory ''MetalGearSolid'' reference: in the original MGS (meaning, the PSX one), Snake uttered this after shooting down Liquid in his Hind:
-->*upon seeing the flames shoot high* \\
Snake: [[BadAss That takes care of the cremation]]
* Interestingly, ''{{World of Warcraft}}'' contains a few of these. Pretty much any major Bosses will give some quips when they kill someone. While most are just general boasting, a few qualify. From Memory:
---> Ionar(Lightning Elemental): "Shocking, I know."
---> XT-002 (a giant robot [[PsychopathicManChild with the personality of a child]]): I guess it doesn't bend that way!...
* The characters in ''{{Team Fortress 2}}'' will drop their own Bond One Liners, independent of the player's input. This often happens when you kill the same player 3 times without being killed by them in response, earning a "Domination"
** Scout domination Lines
--> *Kills a Heavy* "[[ThereWillBeBlood I! EAT! YOUR! SANDWICHES! I EAT THEM UP!]]"
--> *Kills an Engineer* "Here's a Schematic for ya: My Ass!"
--> *Kills the One-eyed Demoman* "Depth Perception; Look into it!"
--> *Kills an Engineer* "Don't bring a Wrench to a Gun Fight"
--> *Kills a Heavy* "Hey Lard-fat, Those hard arteries don't stop bullets do they?"
--> *Kills a Pyro* "Hey, Who's on Fire now?"
--> *Kills a Medic* "Diagnosis: You Suck"
--> *Kills a Sniper* "Yeah that fancy scope of yours? Bet you got a real nice view of me killing you."
--> *Kills a Soldier* "Drop dead and give me Twenty!"
--> *Kills a Spy* "Hey Hey, you shape shifted into a dead guy!"
** Sniper Domination Lines
--> *Kills anyone* "Oh my god you've been shot, Did ya get a look at the Handsome rogue who did it?"
--> *Kills anyone* "Hate to break it to you, but your own team paid me to do that."
--> *Kills anyone* "Here's a Touching story: Once upon a time you died and I lived happily ever after. The end."
--> *Kills an Engineer* "Not so smart with your brains outside your head, are ya?"
--> *Kills a Heavy* "Oy, you're bleeding GRAVY, fatso!"
--> *Kills a Heavy* "I JUST BAGGED THE WORLD'S FATTEST MAN!"
--> *Kills a Medic* "[[BugsBunny What's up, Doc?]]"
--> *Kills a Soldier* "AT EASE! -Maniacal Laughter-"
--> *Kills a Spy* " -I- Was never on -Your- Side either!"
* Parodied/lampshaded in the "Dashwood and Argyle" radio series in ''{{Fallout}} 3'' after Argyle dispatches a traitorous FemmeFatale:
--> '''Dashwood''': Good God Argyle, you ripped out her heart!
--> '''Argyle''': I always knew this broad was heartless...get it boss? Heh-heh, heartless...
--> '''Dashwood''': Your kung-fu skills are unparallelled old chum, but your comic delivery leaves something to be desired.
* In the original ''CommandAndConquer'', [[TheStarscream Seth]] is Nod's Second in Command, giving the player briefings for the first half of the Brotherhood's campaign. He eventually plans to betray [[DarkMessiah Kane]] and the player; in a briefing where he's about to send the player into a hopeless attack on the Pentagon, he claims "You see, power shifts quickly in the Brotherhood". Seth is shot by Kane about thirty seconds after this; shoving the corpse aside, Kane says "Yes... power shifts more quickly than some people think".
* {{Star Wars}}: {{Republic Commando}} has Trandoshans (bipedal fat, green ugly lizard aliens) with flammable-gas-laden backpacks. Shoot one in the back, and the backpack will ignite, lifting the unfortunate Trandoshan ten feet up like a jetpack before exploding. Quirky teammate Scorch will comment on this with lines like "Woo! Fireworks!" or "Hey, I didn't know Trandoshan could fly!"
* {{Resident Evil 4}} after Leon killed Salazar and Saddler contats him, he says the famous line "Saddler, you are small time"

* Subverted in [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2008-02-13 this]] ''DominicDeegan'' strip. "Aw man, I totally should've shouted that afterwards!"
** Also played with at the end of the [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2006-06-27 War In Hell]] arc. After his enemy is dispatched by Stonewater using an ice attack on his earthly form, Karnak muses that this is the perfect time to deliver a line like, "Hell's frozen over," but Karnak's always hated those jokes.
* [[http://www.squidi.net/comic/amd/view.php?ep=1&id=359 Something witty.]]
** Similarly, one issue of ''ScudTheDisposableAssassin'' has Scud stick his gun in a target's mouth and say "Something funny." before pulling the trigger.
* ''[=~The Adventures of Dr. McNinja~=]'': Gordito kills a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot ghost wizard]], then waits until the end of the chapter before [[http://drmcninja.com/page.php?pageNum=54&issue=11 delivering his quip]]. The AltText on the page [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this.
* A beautiful one from ''BreakfastOfTheGods'', after [[spoiler:[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome killing Count Chocula by summoning the sun]]]]:
-->'''Dig 'em''': What ''was'' he?
-->'''Tony''': [[spoiler:Not much of a morning person]], obviously.
* ''[[CiemWebcomicSeries Ciem 3]]'' has Dolly Malestrom/The Earwig, after killing a band of pedophile gangsters, {{KillBill}}-style:
-->'''Dolly''': "Nice [[{{Gorn}} gallbladder]]!"

*''SurvivalOfTheFittest'' has Eduardo Trinidad-Villa killed Tanya Bonneville by electrocution. His line?
-->'''Eddie:''' Original recipe or extra crispy?
**Bobby Jacks also pulls one out after setting off an unintentional chain reaction of events leading to the death of Michael Anders.
-->'''Bobby:''' Rube Goldberg would be proud.

*TheSimpsons:
** Being a [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed thinly-disguised version]] of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rainier "[=McBain=]" Wolfcastle uses these.
*** Or the one where Wolfcastle popps out of an ice sculpture, shoots everybody at the table down, and then quips, "Ice to see you."
**** This was strangely prophetic of Arnie's role in ''Batman & Robin''...
*** Another [=McBain=] has the hero jumping onto a jet in mid-air, tearing open the cockpit and breaking the pilot's neck. Marge, upon watching, makes a comment about "breakneck speed." Bart immediately admonishes her, "Mom, a man just ''died.''"
*** After infiltrating a meeting of villains and killing every last one of them, he quips, "Meeting adjourned." A sexy woman shows up and he adds, "And now I am thinking of another meeting. In bed."
*** [[{{DeviantMugen}} This troper]] recalls another particularly hilarious Wolfcastle one liner, as he's eating ice cream he utters this gem, "I'm ''baskin'' in your pain! And I'm ''robbin'' you of your life!"
** Also seen in a Radioactive Man comic when the titular superhero tosses a villain into the sun and asks, "Hot enough for you?"
** [[ItMakesSenseInContext After killing the vengeful sentient scalp of an executed murderer]], Chief Wiggum quips "That's what I call a bad hair day".
** {{Lampshaded}} in the episode "Itchy and Scratchy Land": While the Simpson family is in Itchy and Scratchy Land the Itchy and Scratchy robots run amok and can only be killed by the flash of a camera. Bart deliver a one-liner and a Wolfcastle/Schwarzenegger spoof while Homer fails only seconds later.
*** Bart: (German accent) "Hey mouse...say cheese." (snaps picture; an Itchy robot collapses) "With a dry, cool wit like that, I could be an action hero." (the family snaps more photos and kills more robots; Homer emerges from a pile of robots)
*** Homer: "Die, bad robots, die!" (laughs) "With a dry, cool wit like that, I could be an action hero."
** How could you possibly forget the line from Wolfcastle's ''Undercover Nerd''? "The geek shall inherit the Earth." [[MadeOfPlasticine *throws one bully through another*]]
* In the 3D ''{{Horton Hears a Who}}'', Horton is being pursued by Vlad the Vulture, and in one scene escapes by sending Vlad off on a TreeBuchet, quipping, "This is where I get off," as he does. This is then hung with a lampshade when he remarks that he usually doesn't think of those until sometime later.
