On its way to becoming a [[Forgotten Trope]], a Seen It All Suicide occurs when a cartoon character, having seen some outrageous sight, proclaims "Now I've seen everything!" and promptly [[Hammerspace|produces a pistol]] and shoots himself on the spot. The reason this might happen is because the character feels they have finally cracked and wish to end their lives before it gets worse. When these old cartoons are reaired nowadays, however, this joke is usually [[Bowdlerise|Bowdlerised]]d out. Watch for it -- ifit—if a character proclaims that he's seen it all, expect him not to show up again.

In [[Real Life]], people sometimes say things like, [[Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter!|"I'm ready, Jesus,"]] if something momentous has just happened -- meanthappened—meant to indicate that they're ready to die, but without the rather jarring effect of pulling a weapon out of thin air and actually doing the job.
