'''Felix:''' I mean I'm going to kill you, and take your prisoners.

* From ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'':
-->'''Namekian:''' Come on! Bring it! There's three of us and one of you!
-->'''Dodoria:''' Man, you must suck at math even worse than me.
-->'''Namekian:''' What do you mean?
-->'''Dodoria:''' There's only two of you.
-->'''Namekian:''' That's not right...''(gets punched through)'' Aargh!
-->'''Dodoria:''' ''(after killing the Namekian warriors)'' Whoops, looks like I miscounted. I must be having an off day.
** Gets better with the disclaimers in the outtakes.
-->'''Announcer''': Warning! The following contains language unsuitable for minors! So if you are under the age of 18 and have not heard the word fuck before...well...you have now.
** Vegeta walks right into one too.
-->'''Android 18:''' So who's got two broken arms and is a total bitch?
-->'''Vegeta:''' You... stupid bint. You only broke one a-[Crack]-AAAAAAAAAAHHHH.
-->'''Android 18:''' This guy.

''[Saruman's staff is firmly in his hands... then suddenly, '''Kerboom!''' it goes.]''

'''Thug:''' Who the hell are you talkin' tooaaaAAAAAAHHHHGH! ''[Immediately has his hand broken by aforementioned and insanely huge [[TheBigGuy Donny]].]''

* This style of attack is how Brook from ''Manga/OnePiece'' got the nickname "The Whistling Swordsman." He tends to make quips along the line of "Sorry for defeating you," and then whistles as he sheaths his sword. It is not until the sword is sheathed that the opponent realizes they have already been defeated.
* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', Ichigo and Chad became friends when Ichigo came across Chad being beaten up by a gang of bullies and [[MartialPacifist refusing to defend himself]]. Ichigo promptly pulls out his cell phone and calls for emergency services, telling them a bunch of guys have been beaten up and they need to send ambulances. For how many people? "One... two... three.. four..."

-->'''Stan:''' Jeff, you're not good enough for our daughter. You have no job, no home and no future! Plus you're always wiping your face.\\

-->'''Roger:''' They all ditched you. Not me, though! I just rudely walked away while you were talking.\\

-->'''Roger:''' Yeah, yeah, you make a good point. Okay, we'll switch faces just as soon as I fix this lamp.
-->'''Steve:''' What's wrong with it?
-->'''Roger:''' It's broken. ''(smashes the lamp over Steve's head)''

-->'''Brian''': I just need some time to think. Alright?\\

-->'''Joe:''' And I see you've got a flesh wound. ''(shoots him in the leg)''

-->'''Security Guard''' (at the studio where Brian's son Dylan works): Sorry, Brian, Dylan says he doesn't want to see you anymore. We're not allowed to let you in.\\

-->'''Martin:''' Why would a robot need to wear mittens?\\

-->'''Lisa:''' Thanks for helping me make up my mind.\\

-->'''Grumpy:''' ''[gun drawn on "Bozo"]'' [[YouHaveOutLivedYourUsefulness I'm bettin' the Joker told you to kill me as soon as we loaded the cash.]]\\

-->'''Joker:''' You wanna know how I got these scars?\\

-->'''Two-Face:''' You're a lucky man. ''(flips the coin again; lands on tails)'' But he's not. \\

* ''War of the Worlds: Global Dispatches ''. In "Foreign Devils", the Guangxu Emperor is a PuppetKing for his EvilChancellor, but eventually gains enough confidence to regain control, which he does by offering to demonstrate a sword move for the Chancellor called ''The Dragon moves from Low to High''.

* In Mikhail Bukgakov's ''Literature/TheMasterAndMargarita,'' Satan has this interesting line: "Annushka has not already bought the sunflower oil, but spilled it as well. So the meeting won't take place."

* In ''Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove'', after Pacha informs Kuzco where on his village's hill has the most sun, Kuzco thanks him, saying he needed some insight for his pool.

* On the Crimson Flower route of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', the leader of "those who slither in the dark" arrives after the Black Eagle Strike Force captures a strategic Kingdom fortress. When he learns that one of his generals (Edelgard's real target, though she half-heartedly tries to convince him otherwise) was killed in the raid, he warns that such rash decisions would imperil the future of her unified Empire, sarcastically praying that it doesn't turn into "another Arianrhod". Just a few moments after he says this, his forces destroy the fortress she just captured, killing everyone inside, including a significant number of Imperial troops.

-->'''Grumpy:''' ''[gun drawn on "Bozo"]'' [[YouHaveOutLivedYourUsefulness I'm bettin' the Joker told you to kill me as soon as we loaded the cash.]]
-->'''The Joker:''' ''[scoffs]'' No-no-no-no. I kill the bus driver.
-->'''Grumpy:''' ''[confused]'' Bus driver? ''["Bozo" glares back at him]'' What bus dri-''[The back end of a school bus bursts through the bank doors and runs over him]''

** In ''Discworld/MovingPictures'' Silverfish offers Victor Tugelbend a job in moving pictures after he saves him from muggers, but when Victor arrives at the studio, he tries to get out of it.

** And in ''{{Discworld/Pyramids}}'', Pteppic is trying to buy a camel but has no money.

** And used as a BrickJoke in ''Discworld/SmallGods''. A footnote refers to a religious leader who was regarded as a prophet because he correctly predicted that his group would be victorious in battle- while they were clearly winning said battle. Later, Brutha issues the same kind of technical prophecy when he sees a tortoise plummeting toward Vorbis' head and informs him that he's about to die.

-->'''Kenobi:''': (riding on Boga, the giant battle-lizard) You may want to get another ship, General! There appears to be some damage to your main sublight drives!\\
'''Grevious:''' Damage? What damage?\\

* In ''Film/CharliesAngels'', Dylan is tied up in a chair by the BigBad's {{Mook}}s who are about to pounce on her. She provides a detailed explanation of how she's going to beat each of them before moonwalking out of the room. She proceeds to do exactly that (except for the moonwalk, if you can call it that).

* * On the Crimson Flower route of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', the leader of "those who slither in the dark" arrives after the Black Eagle Strike Force captures a strategic Kingdom fortress. When he learns that one of his generals (Edelgard's real target, though she half-heartedly tries to convince him otherwise) was killed in the raid, he warns that such rash decisions would imperil the future of her unified Empire, sarcastically praying that it doesn't turn into "another Arianrhod". Just a few moments after he says this, his forces destroy the fortress she just captured, killing everyone inside, including a significant number of Imperial troops.
