* ''The Battle of Shaker Heights''. Kelly has been sent to the office.

* In ''VideoGame/StarControl 2'', if you let the [[TheHypnotoad Dnyarri]] mind-control you, it will compel you to seek out an [[ScaryDogmaticAliens Ur-Quan]] ship to get yourself killed. The first time this happens, you can reason with the Ur-Quan and he will let you go in exchange for information. If this repeats though, your character can say this exact line (which won't make the Ur-Quan any less pissed at you.) Also, if you keep running out of fuel in deep space, the friendly [[ProudMerchantRace merchants]] who come to rescue you will eventually say this.

* In Case 5 of ''VisualNovel/TheGreatAceAttorney: Adventures'', if you press Juror #1 in the first Summation Examination, [[spoiler:Ryunosuke Naruhodo recognizes him as John Garrideb, one half of the husband-wife couple involved in the trial of [[HistoricalDomainCharacter Soseki Natsume]], and says something along the lines of "We really ought to stop meeting like this."]]

* A woman is having an affair with her dentist. The dentist tells her one day "We've got to stop meeting like this. You're almost out of teeth." Worth noting where this joke came from: When two people are having an affair, one of them might say this to the other to try to put an end to it, usually unsuccessfully. The joke is putting the phrase in a situation where they're obviously not meeting on purpose.

* In the ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}'' series the recurring special agent [[TheProtagonist 47]] keeps having to rescue says this eventually. 47 notes that it's unlikely.

* In ''Final Crisis Aftermath'', Most Excellent Superbat is haunted by the spirit of Ultimon-Alpha, who tries to get him to be a better hero.

-->'''Loki''': Um. Hello, the Avengers. We really have to stop meeting like this. *Flashback to the forming of the Avengers*

A {{Stock Phrase|s}} involving two recurring characters who meet at least twice in the same awkward, confrontational or dangerous manner.

* The cloaker in ''VideoGame/Payday2'' parodies this through one of his random lines when he incapacitates one of the heisters. Other lines imply that the heister and cloaker enjoy being together for that small moment of time.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderman'': The first few episodes set up Marko and O'Hirn (the future Sandman and Rhino) as two of Spidey's regular punching bags. "We have got to stop meeting like this. People are starting to talk... mostly about what dupes you are."
