"But if you are her, and she is him, then who am I?"

The story is told from a first-person perspective. The male protagonist's rival, a Mad Scientist, has invented a machine that allows him to swap bodies with other people and plans to use it on the hero's best friend. The hero and his girlfriend are able to reach the villain after the friend is kidnapped, blow the villain's machine into pieces, and kill the villain once and for all. Right before the hero leaves the area with his friend in tow, his own body emerges from the rubble and asks who he is. After a moment, the hero replies, and the person in his body utters the line above. This reveals that the machine activated right before it was destroyed, and now the hero (who realizes he's now in in his girlfriend's body), the girlfriend (in the friend's body), and the villain (in the hero's body) are stuck in their current forms. And even worse, process of elimination means that the best friend was in the villain's body, which the protagonist killed himself.

A major character has been injured trying to stop the villain's plot when his friend shows up. The injured character begs his friend to do what he couldn't do and stop the antagonist, saying that "there's still time to stop him". The friend, however, suddenly pulls out his gun and says the line before shooting him, revealing that he's The Mole.

An Armoured Closet Gay woman has spent most of the story arguing that homosexuality is wrong because "women are like donuts and men are like hot dogs, they're designed to fit together," a crude metaphor that she hammers into the ground until it's completely dead. At one point towards the climax of the story, she is alone with the protagonist and suddenly blurts out the Wham Line, ending a long silence.

Someone has just been super empowered, and they're in denial about it for some reason. The person they're with asks them to identify the song they're listening to, and the newly-empowered super correctly identifies it with super-hearing, then comments that it's not that impressive when the interlocutor is using speakers. Cue line.

The heroes thought they had safely escaped the giant, building-shredding robot and had found themselves a bit of a haven. The missing roof is just the first sign that their little hideout has been discovered. The bodies are probably the second.

Maria is the name of the antagonist: someone so high up on the Super Weight level that the heroes have no chance of defeating her. They believed their only hope was to seek out her old mentor, in hopes that he would know how to stop her. His response when they finally find him and ask him what to do? The above line.

Ancient characters from Greek myths have been reincarnated into the modern day, and a narrator is telling us how their history is repeating itself. Achilles dies in a street fight after spraining his heel, Oedipus becomes a governor and marries the last governor's widow, etc. And then we get to the story of Orpheus, who in the original myths, was unable to escort his wife back from the netherworld because he broke his promise to Hades and looked back at her during the journey home. The simple possibility that these reincarnations could defy fate had never been brought up before, and the viewer assumes that Orpheus will blow it again, but this time the narrator says otherwise.

Some time ago Death began to take on apprentices in order to cope up with the increasing number of deaths in the world. One day he tells Class A that some things came up and he's going to be too busy to handle all the deaths in the world alone, so he says that the students of Class A are ready to take on the cloak of the Grim Reaper. He assigns them to various areas in the world as representatives of the Grim Reaper in those areas.

One of these "graduates" is out one day doing his job when he encounters a spirit of a young girl that he can't send to the afterlife. He decides to make this spirit accompany him while he continues his work and tries to figure out why he can't reap this particular soul.

Little by little he learns of the spirit's backstory... and he eventually finds out about the spirit's connection to forbidden magic. Specifically, a ritual for reviving the dead.

He utters the line above, realizing that he can't reap the girl's soul because she isn't dead yet— her body is still very much alive, her soul has simply been displaced by another, probably that of someone who should be dead... and another realization hits him: what if this was why Death is busy nowadays?

Jack is the last remaining member of a team of spies assembled together from governments all around the world who were assigned to root out a conspiracy started by alien shapeshifters, the goal of which is to take over Earth by replacing world leaders with alien duplicates. Upon the supposed success of the mission, he reports back, exhausted and battle weary, to the one who gave them this mission, only known as the Director, and the Director says the above line as he reveals his Xanatos Gambit to remove all of the competition, and replace the politicians with his completely loyal, obedient robot slaves, instead. He was counting on the winning side to be weakened from the task, making it easier to swoop in and finish them off.

Many years have passed since most of civilisation has been wiped out, and a woman who had survived the disaster happened across a familiar face in her wandering; that of her lover from whom she had been separated. However, as she rushes to embrace him, she sees a stony glare in his eyes where once the spark of life had danced. Clearly, much had happened to him in her absence. She makes several attempts to reconnect with him, but he shoves past her and walks on. She cries out after him that he had changed since they were together; that he used to be a good man. This prompted his curt response and subsequent departure. The last remnant of her faith in anything worth living for has been utterly shattered.

The Hero is with his True Love against an Eldrich Abomination. The monster is weakend but they need to use a bomb inorderto kill it once and for all. But it isn't working. Becasuse it has a faulty detonator.

The Hero looks at her friends and says "I know you pretendend to be my friends. But did you actually loved me"?. He faces her loved one and asks her the same question. She doesn't reply

He takes out a gun of his belt and aims it to her loved one's face and says ""Okay, then. Now that I know that even you hate me, this will be easier...". The Hero takes the bomb and jumps to the monster. He denotates the bomb manually by firing his gun midair, saving them all.AT the cost of his life.

The resident Smart Guy is delivering an Expospeak Gag about the Big Bad's army of monsters, saying something along the lines of 'grossly oversized arthropods'. The Hero has a Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? concerning spiders, but when he's trying to decode the expospeak he says something about "what, like giant insects?" Cue Big Bad coming up behind them and delivering the line, in front of an army of them.

The protagonist is confused beyound belief while his mentor gives explains what's going on. So he asks him a question, to which the mentor's answer seems to be the What Is A Henway trope. Again. For once, the protagonist decides to answer in kind.

Unknown to the protagonist and the audicience the mentor is serious. Upon realizing how dumb and absurdly complicated the whole situation sounds and that he can't explain it without coming off as a moron, the mentor goes along and hopes the protagonist understands what is happening by himself. When he does, the mentor delivers the line. And cue more exposition for the reader.

"I'm sorry but I don't know why are you crying. Is anyone hurt?"

The protagonist is a lady from a war-torn third-world country that doesn't speak any English. She tries to leave with the assistance of some shady Americans, only to end up as part of a prostitution ring. Tensions rise as the ringleaders start arguing over finances, and a dramatic shootout ends up killing everyone in the crossfire, with the protagonist being the only exception. She's heavily wounded, but if she can get some medical attention fast, she might just live. Her only hope is a random passer-by outside the building she was locked in; though she can't speak his language, her loud crying and her wounds should make her message obvious. But then he speaks the above line, and as the blood on her is rather evident, we now find out that he's blind; it's just become a lot harder for the protagonist to get his help and survive this tragedy...
