* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', a group that seems [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo oddly]] [[ShoutOut familiar]] infiltrates Dr. Venture's mansion and snoops around. At the end, they run afoul of a berserking Brock Sampson, who promptly kills the Fred, Shaggy and Scooby equivalents. As Shaggy dies, gutshot and bleeding out on the floor, he whimpers, "So cold, man...."

* In ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'', the Jetsons arrive in Birdman's office, but have to ''walk'' to his desk, as there is no conveyor belt. Eventually, Astro collapses during the trek, saying "Ro rold, ro rold..."
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''
** Om the episode "Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily", when Bart is discovered to have head lice on class picture day (as a result of playing with a monkey Milhouse found), he comments "Nothing ever happens to Milhouse." We then see Milhouse standing there pale, wrapped in a blanket, muttering "Cold, so very, very cold."
** In one episode, the GPS from Homer's car says "So cold, so cold..." after Homer rips it out and throws it in a nearby fountain.

* Ren says this in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/ThePiratesOfDarkWater''. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that Tula was purposefully [[HeroicSacrifice lowering his body temperature]] [[MakesSenseInContext in order to kill him]] [[OurGhostsAreDifferent so they could save Ioz]].
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', a group that seems [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo oddly]] [[ShoutOut familiar]] infiltrates Dr. Venture's mansion and snoops around. At the end, they run afoul of a berserking Brock Sampson, who promptly kills the Fred, Shaggy and Scooby equivalents. As Shaggy dies, gutshot and bleeding out on the floor, he whimpers, "So cold, man...."

* In the ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' episode ''Urban Jungle'', Danny complains about being really, '''really''' cold, despite the warm weather. Later, this turns out to be a sign of his [[ElementalPowers ice powers]] awakening.

* Used in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Dilbert}}'' animated series, in the episode ''Holiday''. During the Dogbert Day parade, Dilberts obnoxious co-worker, the aptly named Dick, who has spent the entire episode making Dilbert even more miserable than usual, is crushed along with his equally obnoxious SUV by Dogberts giant parade float. As he lies in the wreckage, he utters this trope. Dilbert, who is watching the parade on TV with his mother, [[CrossesTheLineTwice remarks that the holidays are a magical season]].
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "Anthology of Interest II", General Pac-Man's last words after being hit by a Space Invader's beam is "So cold...".
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016'': Parodied in "The Long Skate Home". Bubbles is hit in the face with a ball and collapses, then starts moaning that she's cold. Blossom tells her to zip up her jacket. She does so and recovers.

** Om the episode "Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily", when Bart is discovered to have head lice on class picture day (as a result of playing with a [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys monkey]] Milhouse found), he comments "Nothing ever happens to Milhouse." We then see Milhouse standing there pale, wrapped in a blanket, muttering "Cold, so very, very cold."

* Played for laughs in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0091.html this]] ''[[Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick Order of the Stick]]'' interlude.

* A variant is spoken by one of the drowned children in ''Webcomic/SolsticeTwins'' as seen [[http://www.solsticetwins.co.uk/?id=17/ here.]]
* [[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=267 Pea-Steve]] from ''Webcomic/VGCats''.

* ''Film/{{Backdraft}}'': [[spoiler:Stephen "Bull" [=McCaffrey=]]] gets the "I feel so tired" variant as his last words.

* The "I'm tired" variant serves as Annie's dying words in ''Film/{{Imitation Of Life|1959}}'' (1959).

* In ''Literature/TheSecretsOfTheImmortalNicholasFlamel'', Prometheus does a variation of this with: "I'm tired now, so tired. It will be good to rest." He then [[TearJerker proceeds to die in the arms of his daughter]]. Bonus points because the aforementioned daughter had just '''revived''' him, but he made her let him die.

* ''VideoGame/TelepathTactics'' has two examples. Phoebe's death message is "I've often wondered what it would feel like to die. The cold...it trickles in like water..." Sarn Kamina's is in [[ConLang Lissit]], but can be translated as "I am cold..." (There's some ambiguity, as the word for "cold" can also mean "afraid".) Harynx's death message also features the "I'm tired" variant.

* Used in an episode ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' where the [[WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} pumpkin carriage]] crashes ([[WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}} Mulan]] [[AsianDrivers was driving]]), mortally wounding some of the {{Franchise/Disney Princess}}es. Princess Clara begs [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Sleeping Beauty]] to keep her eyes open, only for her to respond with "But... I'm so... tired."

A common variant, also due to the above, is "I'm tired...so tired."

** Subverted in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E6TheAgeOfSteel The Age of Steel]]", when a downed Cyberman whose emotional inhibitor has been removed asks "why... am... I... cold?" It's revealed she has no idea what has happened, and still thinks she's on the way to her wedding. (The trope name drop is especially apt, as this is what finally convinces the Doctor that the cybermen are no longer really alive, and therefore can be destroyed.)

* In ''Manga/AyashiNoCeres'', Chidori [[TakingTheBullet took the bullet]] for Yuuri and sustained injures to her back. While he's carrying her, she mentions how warm his back is. Yuuri tells her to cling to him, then, all while trying to talk about how he'll cook her favorite foods when they make it out of here, only for her to die [[DyingDeclarationOfLove as she begins to confess her feelings]].

* Used in an episode ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' where the [[Disney/{{Cinderella}} pumpkin carriage]] crashes ([[Disney/{{Mulan}} Mulan]] [[AsianDrivers was driving]]), mortally wounding some of the {{Franchise/Disney Princess}}es. Princess Clara begs [[Disney/SleepingBeauty Sleeping Beauty]] to keep her eyes open, only for her to respond with "But... I'm so... tired."

* Inverted in ''Literature/TheLostFleet'': Geary feels incredibly cold after being revived from 100 years of being a HumanPopsicle.

There's sense in the trope: cold skin is a sign of shock. Coldness can also indicate blood loss or impaired blood circulation and, of course, corpses lack body-warmth. Additionally, a person suffering from a rising fever will feel cold and shiver. A mythological reason might be that Purgatory (which can sometimes include wandering the earth as a ghost) was depicted as being a cold and miserably damp place. Sleepiness or BloodFromTheMouth tend to go hand in hand with this. Perversely, one emergency that often does not feature this is ''hypothermia'': cold becomes an emergency if the victim stops being able to feel it, or is too tired to shiver. In fact, exposure victims are often found partly undressed because the lowering of their internal temperature makes them feel ''too warm''.

* Although he never [[LiteraryAgentHypothesis records himself]] saying these exact words, [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Frodo]] spends a lot of the time after he has been stabbed with the Morgul knife shivering and describing how cold he feels.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheDickTracyShow'' episode "The Venetian Bind," the Mole and Sketch Paree are stealing all the statues in Venice, and they have their eyes on the only one left--it's in the home of the city's mayor. Disguised as physicians, they enter past Joe Jitsu and Detective Lardini and disguise the statue as the mayor's wife. Putting it on a stretcher, Joe puts his hand on the statue's forehead. (It's this that tips them off that Sketch and the Mole have made off with the statue.}

'''Joe:''' (''solemnly'') Cold. Very cold.

* Happens in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' when Ben offers another character a piece of chocolate, which ended up poisoning him due to it coincidentally being his KryptoniteFactor.

* A disturbing example from an obscure BBC children's cartoon called ''The Brollys'', about a boy making friends with a man and a woman who control the weather. While most of the weather is rather pleasant, the ice and snow brings with it the terrifying Jack Frost, who not only freezes Mr. and Mrs. Brolly, but also tries to kill the little boy by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLnmWVhrWKk making him succumb to sleeping in the cold.]]

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode, Anthology of Interest II, General Pacman's last words after being hit by a Space Invader's beam is "So cold...".

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', a group that seems [[ScoobyDoo oddly]] [[ShoutOut familiar]] infiltrates Dr. Venture's mansion and snoops around. At the end, they run afoul of a berserking Brock Sampson, who promptly kills the Fred, Shaggy and Scooby equivalents. As Shaggy dies, gutshot and bleeding out on the floor, he whimpers, "So cold, man...."
