History Main / NOT

* In the ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' games, one of Crow Armbrust's escape from battle quotes is "See you later... not!"

Compare HahahaNo.

This usage of saying something then saying "NOT!" at the end actually goes all the way back to the 19th century (when "...I ''don't'' think!" was the preferred form); it just became cool again back during the 1980s. It was popularized by the movie ''Film/WaynesWorld'' (along with ThatsWhatSheSaid! and other TotallyRadical {{stock phrase}}s of TheNineties). While the expression itself is [[DeadHorseTrope rarely played straight anymore]], it had a short-lived successor for TheNewTens in "..., said no one ever." in the first half of the decade and "nobody:... me:..." in the second half.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'': Principle Huggins frequently does this.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Bionicle}}: Web of Shadows'':
--> '''Matau''': "[[SarcasmMode Hurry, you guys! It's amazing! It's Keeetonguuu!]]"

* Iago in ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' uses it to describe the sultan. "Oh, excellent judge [of character], sure... NOT!"
