* ''Fanfic/RocketshipVoyager''. When the {{Space Marine}}s release tear gas on the Hanger Deck to flush out an alien intruder, an atmospheric contamination alert repeats until someone shuts it off.

* During the jet car test near the beginning of ''Film/TheAdventuresOfBuckarooBanzaiAcrossThe8thDimension'', one of the mission controllers tells Buckaroo to eject.

* The ejection procedure is shown in quite a bit of detail in the first ''Film/BehindEnemyLines'' film, even showing how the crew's legs are automatically drawn back towards their seats to avoid getting caught on any instrumentation when the rockets fire. This portrayal is deceptively detailed, showing events that happen simultaneously as sequential. Where the ejection sequence in the film takes over 15 seconds per man once the canopy is blown, in reality all of the actions shown occur in only a few seconds.
* This instruction given in dialogue to a pilot who is ComingInHot in the film version of ''Film/TheHuntForRedOctober''.
--> "Pick up your left wing! You're drifting left! Power, power, wave off! Wave off! EJECT! EJECT! EJECT!"
* Parodied in ''Film/HotShots''. When a plane is going down, the pilot screams "Eject! EJECT!" [[VisualPun Then a videotape pops out.]]
* Parodied in ''Film/SupermanReturns'' - Superman saves the crashing jumbo jet after freeing the space shuttle it was carrying, and brings the jet down in the middle of a football stadium. After it has safely touched down, we see the pilots dazed in the cockpit, as the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_proximity_warning_system GPWS]] warns them to "fly up...fly up...fly up..." [[note]]Given the situation shown in the film, there would be no fewer than a half-dozen warnings being repeated in a list, as well as a cacophony of warning horns and chimes.[[/note]]
* Shown in ''Film/FlightOfTheIntruder'':
--> '''Cool Hand''': Looks like this is the end of Devil 505. Say goodbye, asshole! Eject! Eject! Eject!
--> '''Tiger''': [[ExactWords Goodbye, asshole!]]
--> *punches out*
* ''Film/{{Interstellar}}''. When Cooper's SpacePlane starts breaking up in the black hole, his computer starts saying ''EJECT...EJECT...EJECT...'' until he does so.

* In ''VideoGame/WingCommander'', a light labeled "EJECT" will flash accompanied by a [[CriticalAnnoyance siren sound]] if your ship is damaged so badly that one additional hit would most likely destroy it, prompting you to press Ctrl+E to eject from your ship. May stop flashing when your shields recharge. However, it's not uncommon to be destroyed anyway by a volley of enemy fire which destroys you faster than the EJECT warning can react, taking you from good shape to death almost instantly.
** And in ''Wing Commander Prophecy'', doing so will get you captured by the new alien threat, leading to a caption informing you of a literal FateWorseThanDeath and game over.
* Overly expensive videogame ''VideoGame/SteelBattalion'' combined this with a {{Roguelike}} twist. If you didn't eject in time and died with your mech, your game data was erased.
* VideoGame/{{Mechwarrior}} and VideoGame/MechCommander series feature it often in cinematics:
--> VideoGame/MechCommander 1: The [[GlassCannon Hunchback]] finds itself on the wrong end of a [[LightningBruiser Mad Cat's]] long range missiles and ER Large Lasers. With smoke rising in the cockpit and alarms sounding, the pilot gives the triple call over the comm as he straps down and hits the lever.
-->VideoGame/ Mechwarrior 3: Mad Cat vs. [[MightyGlacier Atlas]]. Atlas [[CurbStompBattle winning handily]] (despite missing an arm already) -but too close to survive the resulting core breach. Seeing the characteristic flash, the Atlas pilot ejects.
--> Mechwarrior 4: Shadow Cat vs missile launchers. She just took them out, then she sees the missiles coming. The commander tells her to eject. She doesn't make it.\\
Mechwarrior Online promo: Warhammer vs. Atlas. In a close match, the Warhammer loses. The mech computer advises ejection, and the pilot complies. [[spoiler: Unfortunately for him, where the first two got to eject inside armored cockpit modules, he got the standard seat-only ride. This doesn't help when his 'mech explodes directly beneath him, and the fireball rises to meet him.]]
** In ''Mechwarrior Living Legends'', battlemechs will flash EJECT warnings on either side of the crosshair when their reactor is shot out. Tanks will plop a "PROCEED TO EMERGENCE ESCAPE HATCHES" and "BAIL OUT" above the crosshair when their engine is damaged, and the Chevalier scout tank will sound off a klaxon when critically damaged.
* ''VideoGame/EscapeVelocity'' starts playing a loud klaxon sound when your ship is doomed.

* ''Videogame/{{Titanfall}}'' has your [[HumongousMecha Titan's]] computer say this to you when your Titan takes critical damage or you just decide to eject on your own. In ''VideoGame/{{Titanfall2}}'', the voice advises you to either eject or get [[HealingPotion a battery]] when heavily damaged, and [[FreezeFrameBonus for an instant while you eject]] the screen displays often bizarre messages, usually [[ShoutOut quotes from other works of fiction]].

* The Venom Patrol Craft pilots in ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquer3TiberiumWars'' explicitly yell "Eject! Eject! EJECT!" in [[OhCrap an increasingly panicked tone]] as one of their lines upon being shot down. However, it can be rather hard to notice, given that the thing [[MadeofExplodium violently explodes]] at the same time.

Not to be confused with the [[CatchPhrase usual utterance]] of [[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 Soundwave]].

* Parodied in ''Film/SupermanReturns'' - Superman saves the crashing jumbo jet after freeing the space shuttle it was carrying, and brings the jet down in the middle of a football stadium. After it has safely touched down, we see the pilots dazed in the cockpit, as a mechanical voice warns them to "fly up...fly up...fly up..."
** This device actually [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_proximity_warning_system exists]]. It is a radio altimeter that sounds a klaxon in a variety of situations such as excessive height loss rate and terrain proximity (the well known ''TERRAIN! PULL UP!'' warning). It would probably be going berserk in this situation.[[note]]The aural warning systems used in modern civil and military aircraft actually provide spoken warnings for a long list of flight conditions. In the cockpit camera videos of a couple fighters that had landing problems and ended up with the pilot punching out as the plane slid to a halt beyond the end of the runway, the TCAS/GPWS/TAWS systems keep babbling about terrain and equipment warnings to an empty cockpit. Given the situation shown in the film, there would be no fewer than a half-dozen warnings being repeated in a list, as well as a cacophony of warning horns and chimes.[[/note]]

* ''Fanfic/{{Myrmidons}}'' once demonstrates a ''Franchise/StarTrek''-updated EjectionSeat on a Moab Confederacy-piloted Klingon ''to'Duj'' fighter. It simply [[{{Teleportation}} beams]] the flight crew out of their plane and onto the nearest transporter pad.

This will flash somewhere on your instrument panel (or will be shouted at you in dialogue by another character over your com) whenever your jet fighter, SpaceFighter, HumongousMecha, etc. sustains critical damage and is about to crash or come apart on you. Better hope your EjectionSeat is working properly or you may be screwed... not like that, [[AccidentalInnuendo you pervert]]. It is frequently accompanied by a [[CriticalAnnoyance loud alarm, siren, or buzzer]].

* In ''Videogame/EliteDangerous'', the ship's computer will repeat "Eject" three times as the ship is blowing up from critical damage.

--> '''Scout!Flight Computer''': Pull Up. Pull Up. Pull Up Dumbass.

* Creator/BillEngvall tells the tale of how he got to fly with the Thunderbirds, which is the U.S. Air Force's demonstration team. Bill admittedly has a bout of AttentionDeficitOohShiny while being briefed for the flight. His spell is broken when the instructor pilot says, "Okay Bill, when you hear your pilot say ''eject, eject, eject...''"

* Inverted in ''Anime/CodeGeass''. The [[HumongousMecha Knightmare Frames]] automatically eject the cockpit block when dealt crippling damage; only time we see bright flashing messages is when the pilot ''can't'' eject because of a system malfunction.
