-->(''whispering'') ''Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her boys!''
* In ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs'', the mayor, venting to Brent, calls the town's inhabitants "sardine-sucking knucklescrapers." Brent chimes in, "[[PresentCompanyExcluded But not me, right?]]" The mayor assures him that he didn't mean him, but immediately grimaces and rolls his eyes once he turns away.

* The opening of ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' has [[BigBadWannabe Baron Von Strucker]] addressing his men as the Avengers attack his facility.

* In ''Film/GalaxyQuest'', Jason attempts this when Sarris gives him ten seconds to retrieve the Omega-13. He gives a throat-slashing signal for Gwen to cut the transmission and uses that time to plan an attack on Sarris' ship instead, saying "he is as stupid as he is ugly." However, Sarris [[IsThisThingStillOn heard the entire thing]] because Gwen thought the signal [[NonverbalMiscommunication meant "we're dead."]]
-->"Perhaps I am not as ''stupid'' as I am ''ugly'', Commander!"

** In the second scene of ''Theatre/{{Cymbeline}}'', two lords collectively do this to Cloten, with one sucking up to him and the other making the snarky asides.

* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2''
** In the video "[[WebAnimation/TeamFortress2 Meet the Medic]]", the Medic tells the Heavy that "Ribs grow back". Then he whispers to [[ItMakesSenseInContext his dove]]: "No they don't." [[note]]Despite the Medic believing otherwise, human ribs are actually capable of growing back when properly shortened. But not after being ripped out like Heavy's, of course.[[/note]] That said, his [[HealingShiv medigun]] can probably grow them back anyways.
** The Mann vs. Machine update revealed a few post-WAR! event domination clips that reveal the enemy Soldier and Demoman never stopped being friends, even though they were hired to kill each other.
--->'''Demoman:''' Everyone, I do ''not'' like this man! He is a ''soulless monster''! ''(aside)'' I really do like you, though; it's just for show.

* In ''VideoGame/AHatInTime'' during the Picture Perfect level, DJ Grooves will help Hat Kid gather fans by helping her in various endorsements, in one of which he asks you to not say the word "Peck" as there is a terrible record of cooking show guests cursing on-camera. If you choose to answer the question he makes with "PECK!" he'll try to save face by telling the audience "Look at the mouth on this girl! She's really something!" before he quietly mumbles to her to get out of the endorsement before the older penguins realize what just happened. The fun part is that you get a lot of fans anyway.

** In the video "[[Machinima/TeamFortress2 Meet the Medic]]", the Medic tells the Heavy that "Ribs grow back". Then he whispers to [[ItMakesSenseInContext his dove]]: "No they don't." [[note]]Despite the Medic believing otherwise, human ribs are actually capable of growing back when properly shortened. But not after being ripped out like Heavy's, of course.[[/note]] That said, his [[HealingShiv medigun]] can probably grow them back anyways.

-->'''Jeff''': ''(also reassuringly nods his head, to Stan and Francine)''
