* ''TabletopGame/ChangelingTheDreaming'': young [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent Nockers]] are advised, when bargaining with a [[OurElvesAreBetter Sidhe]], to start out asking for sex in return for whatever invention or creation they are selling. The Sidhe will likely reply with this trope, whereupon the Nocker can ask for what he ''actually'' wants - which will strike the Sidhe as extremely reasonable in comparison.

* Pontius Pilate in ''Theatre/JesusChristSuperstar'':
--> But since you come from Galilee, then you need not come to me
--> ''You're Herod's race!'' ''He's Herod's case!''

* At the end of ''Theatre/MoonlightAndMagnolias,'' after five days of high-pressure work on the screenplay for ''Gone With The Wind,'' writer Ben Hecht is ''horrified'' at the prospect of having to type the CaptainObvious line "Tomorrow is another day," to the point of it being [[SuckinessIsPainful physically painful]]. He begs, pleads, and even tries to run from the office before finally being persuaded to return to the typewriter and finish the job.

* Played for Horror in the final episode of ''Anime/DigimonAdventureZeroTwo'', where [=MaloMyotismon=] tortures his minion Arukenimon to death--her final words are screaming "No, please, NOT THAT!" just before he destroys her.

->''"There's nothing too embarrassing\\
I'll honestly do anything\\
But wear white after Labor Day\\
'Cause baby, I perform this way."''
-->-- '''Music/WeirdAlYankovic''' in his parody of Music/LadyGaga's "Born This Way"

* ''Film/TheEigerSanction''. To force Jon Hemlock to do OneLastJob, Dragon threatens to have the [[AuditThreat IRS investigate]] his multi-million dollar illegal art collection. However he follows this up by describing how his valued paintings will be confiscated and auctioned off to be bought by the great unwashed public that Hemlock despises, even his NumberTwoForBrains Mr Pope!

Hemlock: Dragon, you have a talent for describing the indescribable.

* ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'' has Hermione sick of Fred and George's antics, and tells them to stop, or else. The twins aren't phased, until Hermione threatens to write to their mother. This is notably the only time where Fred and George backed down in the entire series, as nobody, and we mean NOBODY, survives the wrath of Molly Weasley.

* On the first ScrewySquirrel cartoon, Screwy is listening to Sammy Squirrel drone on about his RidiculouslyCuteCritter friends and goes "Oh, brother! Not that! ''Not that!''", then takes Sammy behind a tree and beats the daylights out of him. It is said again by [[spoiler: Screwy, Meathead and their twins]] when Sammy appears at the end.

* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', Lord Livius Erimond scoffs at whatever judgement is handed down by [[PlayerCharacter The Inquisitor]]. Life in jail, execution, given to the Wardens? He proudly marches to his fate. But if the Inquisitor is a Mage, there is a 4th option: to be made Tranquil. ''That'' is what scares him.

-->'''Scar:''' Sing something with a little...bounce in it.

* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'': In "Happy Birthday, Doofus Drake!", Louie begs Goldie O'Gilt to teach him how to be a clever treasure hunter like her, and she agrees to if he helps her get into [[CreepyChild Doofus]] [[TheSociopath Drake]]'s birthday party. Having had a harrowing experience with the psycho before, Louie has this reaction.
