'''Batman;''' No guns, no killing!\\

* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' episode "[[Recap/TheVentureBrosS7E10TheSaphraxProtocol The Saphrax Protocol]]", this is the Monarch's reaction to being told that [[spoiler:he's brothers with Dr. Venture, his ArchEnemy]].

* In the ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' episode "[[Recap/YoungJusticeS2E20Endgame Endgame]]", this is Superman's reaction when the Justice League watches a news report that UN Secretary Tsung Dangun resigned due to his collaboration with the Reach invaders, and reporter Gordon Godfrey is promoting Lex Luthor as his replacement.

** In the Omake from Chapter 17, Kurotsuchi tells Shikamaru that she told his teammates her plan to keep him awake that night (as a revenge for when Shikamaru refused to play at least one card game with her because he was too tired) and, as a result, said teammates are sleeping in other rooms. His response is to say this trope word for word.

*** Later, when Anko is confronting Naruto about having to blow a week worth of pay on ramen, Naruto says that he tried to eat ''less'' than usual, since he didn't want Anko to spend too much money on him. A rather shocked Anko tries to ponder how Naruto can eat so much ramen and, more importantly, pay for it with his Genin earning.

** In "The Long, Cold Dark", after Frank has captured his nemesis [[ScaryBlackMan Barracuda]], shot, beaten and electrocuted him[[labelnote:*]]His balls, specifically, wired to a car battery.

Well, Barracuda ''did'' kidnap and threaten Castle's infant daughter hoping to piss him off enough to put up a good fight - BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor, ''indeed''.[[/labelnote]], and left him wrapped in iron chains in the boot of his truck while he attended to other matters. It's all too much for 'Cuda, who just snaps, [[BreakingTheBonds breaks the chains through sheer strength]] and barrels out.

* ''Film/HalloweenAtAuntEthels'': At the start of the movie, when two teenagers are in a car, the boy tricks his girlfriend into giving him a hand job. When she realizes this, she says "You've Gotta be fucking kidding me".

* ''Series/TheWestWing'': In "[[Recap/TheWestWingS01E14TakeThisSabbathDay Take This Sabbath Day]]", this is Leo's reaction at Sam telling him the reason (in not so many words) why Simon Cruz isn't dead yet despite the appeal having been denied – it's after sundown on Friday, and the federal government does not execute people on the Sabbath (technically, all ''three'' of them).

* A contestant on ''Series/Wipeout2008'' asked another how he was the final 4 on the Sweeper when he had injured his knee in the prior round. Said player is [[MadeOfIron Yoshi Sudarso]], [[Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge Blue Dino Charge Ranger]]...

* As noted, sports announcers will use "You have got to be kidding me" or permutations of it during pivotal moments in an event. But the announcers of the New Orleans-Minnesota game on January 14, 2018 had opposing emotions when Vikings QB Case Keenum's 63-yard touchdown pass to Stefon Diggs with ten seconds left in the game sent the Vikings to the NFC Championship. The Vikings announcers (KFAN) were yelling "Are you kidding me?!" in delirious jubilation while the Saints announcer (WWL) delivered the same line with stressed disillusionment.

* In the very beginning of ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil'', the main heroine Jade finds out that the power company cut off power feed to her house for nonpayment. Oh, yeah, she finds it out ''when the defensive force field over her house dies in the middle of an alien invasion''.

* In ''VideoGame/OctopathTravelerII'', the captain of the Sacred Guard refers to Temenos as a "hound" because he keeps getting in their way. In his second chapter, he can have a conversation with Ochette where she hilariously misinterprets the "nickname," at first thinking it's because of Temenos's "big, adorable eyes," and then listing a bunch of good qualities about dogs. When Ochette finally asks if she can call him a hound, too, what's his repsonse?

** She says it when she gets flustered, such as if Lloyd catches her playing with children and Luin and comments how cute this makes her look.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Uncharted}}'' series uses this at least once per scene. Often said by roguish protagonist Nathan Drake as he suddenly finds himself face-to-face with a tank, or a helicopter, a slimy zombie-like thing, or a dude with a humongous gun. Or even just another wall that must be scaled.

** Happens with Lopez, who due to [[MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels nearly everyone on the team being unable to understand Spanish]] is left non-plussed when the only thing that Donut was able to mostly-translate accurately was a Sarcastic remark during a tense situation.

** When Yugi realizes that Jaden challenged him to a rap battle, and he accepted it.

-->'''Apu:''' Oh, you have got to be kidding, sir. First you think of an idea that has already been done, and then you give it a title that nobody could possibly like. Didn't you think this through? ''[later]'' ...bestseller list for eighteen months! Every magazine cover had it... ''[still later]'' ...popular movies of all time, sir! What were you thinking? ''[{{Beat}}]'' I mean thank you, come again.

** In "[[Recap/TotalDramaTheBoldAndTheBootyFul The Bold and the Booty-Ful]]", Scott observes that the diamond he's supposed to retrieve for the challenge is lodged between Fang's teeth. This being the worst case scenario, all he say about it in the confessional is "Are You KIDDING ME?!"

* Creator/ChuckNorris's initial reaction when two StupidCrooks tried to mug him at knife point was "[[https://funnyjunk.com/funny_pictures/1274688/Chuck/ Are you insane]]!?"

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingOneAndAHalf'': Banzai mutters this in response to Timon and Pumbaa juggling and break-dancing while trying to buy time.
