* ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'': Beavis and Butt-Head once got caught up in a banker threatening to jump to his death after he was about to be arrested for embezzlement. They try to do this trope, thinking it'd be cool to see him splatter on the ground, but they're just as inept at that as everything else they've ever done, to the point that they accidentally ''[[NiceJobFixingItVillain talk him off the ledge]]'' and reignite his will to live.

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/45456406 Statistic]]'': During a conversation with his coworkers, Toshinori darkly notes that referring to the 'statistics' about Quirkless people is frequently used as an anti-Quirkless dogwhistle, acting as an allegory for transphobia. Inko also reveals to him that she doesn't let her son check the mail by himself because people frequently send them things like newspaper articles about Quirkless people being 'a drain on society' and suicide rates, along with threats to kill him themselves if he doesn't take matters into his own hands.

** In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E6Dalek Dalek]]", the Ninth Doctor delivers this line almost verbatim to the titular creature, and gets a great big ShutUpHannibal for his efforts. An unusual case of the [[AntiHero (anti-)]]hero delivering this line to the villain.

* In ''VideoGame/NeedyStreamerOverload'', having Ame's mental issues become too severe can lead to her having a breakdown on-stream that ends up shattering her streamer image and cause people to tell her to go kill herself already. Other times, her issues might cause her to tell the player character P-chan how unloved she is and that she might as well die already, which the player then can choose to ''double down on and dare her to''.

* The FinalBoss of ''VideoGame/{{Omori}}'' repeatedly dares the player character to end his own life at the climax of the fight. [[spoiler:To twist the knife, this is Sunny's own guilt, the titular Omori, saying those words to him, and if you give up the fight, [[DrivenToSucide Sunny goes through with it]].]]

LeaveBehindAPistol is similar, but done with different intent. Compare GoYeHeroesGoAndDie, which does this by accident (normally). See also WhyWontYouDie, which usually involves frustration that the listener wasn't killed by someone else, and OrderedToDie, where the commander expects to be obeyed. Contrast TalkingDownTheSuicidal. Compare and contrast SuicideForOthersHappiness, when a character believes other people would be better off with them out of the picture.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}} episode "Dethstars" when the director tries to direct Dethklok in their movie, Dethklok points out that that violates his contract, fires him, and encourages him to kill himself. He does. A tabloid even puts a picture of it on its front page.

* The scathing TakeThat song from Music/{{Queen}} entitled "Death on Two Legs" features a variation of this:

* ''FanFic/SleeperHitAU'': Bakugou himself is the one who [[InternalReveal reveals to Kirishima and several other classmates]] that he told Midoriya to throw himself off a roof once. Everyone's horror at this is only heightened when he goes on to declare that while he didn't necessarily mean it ''at the time'', he's now thoroughly convinced that Midoriya ''should have'' taken his advice.

* In the second episode of ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'' Izaya Orihara talks a girl into committing suicide using what can only be described as reverse reverse psychology.
* In ''Anime/{{Monster}}'', Johan does this to several characters, most notably when he teaches kids to balance themselves on guardrails as a "game."

* The ''Anime/{{Tekkonkinkreet}}'' quote at the top of the page. A rare example of a character not meaning this seriously.

* ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'': After the "[[ZeroEffortBoss boss fight]]" with Franky the Pitchfork, Ron and Reg suggest that Franky should kill himself, with them [[CrazyPrepared even having a rope prepared]]. Franky takes them up on their offer, tells them to get fucked, and proceeds to hand himself. Ron and Reg proceed to laugh at him, because Franky [[NoNeckChump doesn't even got a neck]], meaning he never [[BungledSuicide actually killed himself]].

* ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub:''

* In ''Series/FawltyTowers'', the episode "Gourmet Night" sees everything going wrong for Basil, not the least of which is the chef too drunk to cook the dinners. When the duck that was supposed to be the main course falls to the floor and is stepped on, Basil's hated wife Sybil asks if there's anything she can do to help. Basil snaps, "Yes! Go kill yourself!". He then retracts that statement: "[[CrossesTheLineTwice No, wait! Call Andre]] ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice first...]]''"

Call Andre ''first''..."

* ''ComicBook/MsMarvel'': It is revealed that the selfish, amoral psychologist and psychiatrist Dr. Karla Sofen (AKA Moonstone) convinced depressed patients to kill themselves while she watched. Despite this, there have been a number of attempts to redeem her. If the characters knew the character the way the reader does, they would stop trying to redeem her, and either kill her or give her a FateWorseThanDeath.

TruthInTelevision, and often goes hand-in-hand with KidsAreCruel, TeensAreMonsters, {{Cyberbullying}}, and InternetJerk. In many jurisdictions, deliberately inciting someone into suicide is an extremely serious crime that carries penalties similar to manslaughter or even premeditated homicide. However, [[Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease real life examples are not needed for this page]].

** Played straight with "You'll Rebel To Anything". The lyrics tell people to drink poison or aspirins instead of venting so much.
