*** And from the same episode:

* ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' episode "Beast Wars: Part 1"
-->'''Dinobot:''' Their defence shields are down! Destroy them!
-->'''Megatron:''' Now where's the fun in that?

** He also uses this phrase in the episode where [[spoiler: he teams up with Batman]] in reference to being a goodguy.
* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated:''
--> '''Ratchet:''' "Why didn't you just use the EMP?"
--> '''Prowl:''' "Where's the fun in that?"
* ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'':
--> '''Shaggy''': Can you give us a straight answer?
--> '''Mr. E''': Where's the fun in that?

* Discord of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has this to say about making sense:
--> '''Discord''': ''[='=]Make sense'? Aww; what fun is there in making sense?''

!!Examples

-->'''Goat:''' (''after reading the fairy tale'') Where's the fairness and justice in that?
-->'''Rat:''' Whoa. Perhaps I should re-title this.

* In Series/{{Smallville}} season 2 episode ''Rush'':
--->(''[[{{Superman}} Clark]] and Chloe make out in the backseat'')
--->'''Pete''': Guys, get a room!
--->'''Clark''': Where's the fun in that?

* ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "Flesh and Stone"
-->'''The Doctor:''' Can I trust you, River Song?
-->'''River Song:''' If you like. But where's the fun in that?
** The Doctor himself is a serious abuser of this trope both in the revived series and the classic series. See this quote by the Third Doctor from "The Time Warrior":
-->'''Doctor:''' A straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it is by no means the most interesting.
** And from the same episode:
-->'''Sarah Jane Smith:''' Are you serious?
-->'''Doctor:''' About what I do, yes. Not necessarily about the way I do it.

-->'''Hank:''' Well, I follow the moth in the helicopter to lure it away from the flowers, and then Roy comes along in the Lockheed Starfighter and attacks it with air-to-air missiles.
-->'''Roy:''' A lot of people have asked us why we don't use fly spray. Well, where's the sport in that?

-->'''Elton:''' Covered in dark velvety chocolate. When you pop it into your mouth, stainless steel bolts spring out and plunge straight through both cheeks.
-->'''Constable:''' Well, where's the pleasure in that? If people pop a nice chocky in their mouth, they don't want their cheeks pierced!
* In the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "The Squire of Gothos". Kirk asked his captor, "Where's the sport?" in simply hanging him, as he had planned. Instead, Kirk talked his captor into [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame staging a "royal hunt"]]. This bought Kirk enough time for a DeusExMachina rescue.

* ''VideoGame/GhostBustersTheVideoGame'' (2009)
-->'''Winston Zeddemore:''' Just once, I wouldn't mind running with these other fools ''away'' from the trouble.
-->'''Dr. Peter Venkman:''' Where's the fun in that?

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'': In the episode, "The Kraang Conspiracy," the Kraang have captured April and plan to get a DNA sample from her by using a giant needle to the head, which will kill her. When April points out that she could just give them a lock of hair for DNA, the Kraang admit that she ''could''... but they find the needle far more entertaining.

* In ''[[Heroes Assemble!]]'' Thor uses Mjolnir to break down the door of a Hydra-controlled S.H.I.E.L.D. base.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12073409/1/To-Be-a-Miraculous-Master To Be a (Miraculous) Master]]''. Marinette & Adrien's Gardevoir & Gallade (who've known each other since they were Ralts) agree to keep their owner's superhero identities hidden from each other [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall because it would ruin everyone's fun & the story.]]

-->'''Third Doctor''', ''The Time Warrior''

: This scene is made all the funnier by the fact that Creator/JamieBamber, who plays Matt, is fluent in French.

'''Ronnie:''' WheresTheFunInThat?
** This scene is made all the funnier by the fact that Creator/JamieBamber, who plays Matt, is fluent in French and probably could have spoken the language for the entire ''episode''.

* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'': Cell openly admits after becoming Perfect that he could easily [[EarthShatteringKaboom one-shot the Earth]] and be done with it, but he would rather hunt down and kill every last human on Earth one at a time and [[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming savor their terror and despair]] because he finds it more entertaining.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'': In the episode, "The Kraang Conspiracy," the Kraang have captured April and plan to get a DNA sample from her by using a machine that will extract said DNA and kill her. When April points out that she could just give them a lock of hair for DNA, the Kraang admit that she ''could''... but it wouldn't be as entertaining.

* In ''Film/Deadpool2016'', Ajax (or as Deadpool prefers to call him, "Francis") mutates Wade into a super immune freak with plans to enslave him to a rich bidder in order to make bank, but ever since Wade escaped, instead of wanting to put Wade/Deadpool back in the slave program for the money, Ajax complains he misses Deadpool just for the fun of fighting him.

** And even earlier, Ajax mentioned other (now deceased) people he kidnapped for his slave program:
