Line 1: {{trope}} Quick! Something particularly exciting has happened! And, for some reason, there's a reporter on the scene, complete with cameraman! At a particularly exciting moment, the reporter has ''got'' to turn to the camera and say something to the effect of '''"[[Are We Getting This?]]"''' The answer is usually yes, but it's anyone's guess as to whether the camera will survive the episode. {{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * Possible variation: in ''[[~~Naruto (Anime)\|~~Naruto]]'': Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow, the movie director keeps yelling "Keep filming, keep filming!" every time someone attacks the princess/actress Naruto's group is protecting. * A variation (sans the stock phrase) appears in ''[[Penguin Revolution]]'' when Ryo and his rival Narazaki get into a fight on the set of the [[Sentai]] show they're filming. Since the episode being filmed calls for their characters to fight, the director of the episode immediately demands that the cameras start rolling. * Used in an episode of ''[[Pokémon (~~Anime~~anime)\|Pokémon]]''. The English dub had the reporter comment that Team Rocket was making a dramatic exit through the roof - then she [[Breaking the Fourth Wall\|turned to the camera and said gleefully]] "Just like our ratings will!" * This is what happens in ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]'' when some rogue Digimon crash a Christmas Eve concert. == [[Comic Books]] == * An issue of ''[[~~Runaways (Comic Book)\|~~Runaways]]'' uses this, only with a little bit more swearing. * Used to tragic effect during the Onslaught Saga, with longtime X-Men character Trish Tilby's video report appearing to show the X-Men betraying and murdering the Fantastic Four and Avengers. == [[Film]] == * ''[[~~Die Hard (Film)\|~~Die Hard]]'': A reporter asks his cameraman this twice - played straight after a massive explosion inside Nakatomi Plaza, and then sarcastically after being punched in the face by Holly Gennero. * In ''[[Pearl Harbor]]'', while the Japanese are attacking the titular location, one of the characters is filming the planes coming in with a camera yelling "This is great footage!" * ''[REC] 2'' has a priest following a SWAT team through an apartment building, constantly ordering a camerman to film various things they encounter. * In ''[[The Rocketeer (~~Film~~film)\|The Rocketeer]]'' when the eponymous hero takes to the air with his [[Jet Pack]] to rescue a friend at an air show. == [[Literature]] == * In Scott Westerfeld's book ''Extras'', the main character, Aya, is constantly asking her hovercam, Moggle, "Are you getting this?" == [[Live -Action TV]] == * Done on ''[[Babylon 5]]'', when an Earth reporter gets rare footage of Ambassador Kosh. * Asked repeatedly by D'Anna Biers, the reporter in the ''[[Battlestar Galactica ~~Reimagined~~(2004 TV series)\|Battlestar Galactica]]'' episode "Final Cut". * Said by the remote operators who find the {{spoiler\|faked}} wreckage of Oceanic 815 in the ''[[~~Lost (TV)\|~~Lost]]'' episode "Confirmed Dead." * Used in a sketch on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', where the premise is the gang at a frat party and someone is recording the events. One character makes a double entendre, and Jimmy Fallon's character turns to the camera and says "Tommy, please tell me you got that!" ** In one of the ''[[Jeopardy ~~(TV)~~!\|Celebrity Jeopardy!]]'' sketches, Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek has this response to a Final Jeopardy! response that could actually be interpreted as correct. ("Where are you?" "Indoors.") * Done to perfection in an episode of ''[[Sanctuary]]'', where the reporter witnesses a number of nasty things, is duly horrified and then, as soon as she ''can'' speak again, asks "did we get that?". * ''[[The Suite Life On Deck]]'': When Baily's possessed by a an ancient princess, she attacks Zack (as he's being interviewed by a local reporter for discovering an ancient artifact.) Her response? {{quote\| '''Reporter''': Get this! This will be better than my story on the coconut that looked like Estabon Francesco! }} == [[Western Animation]] == * Used during part one of the ''[[~~Duck~~DuckTales ~~Tales~~(1987)]]'' [[Five Episode Pilot]] "Treasure of the Golden Suns", during Scrooge and his nephews' confrontation with the Beagle Boys at the candy factory. * Averted in ''[[Frisky Dingo]]''. {{quote\| Grace Ryan: (gasps) Are you getting this?~~<br />~~ Cameraman: Am.. am I getting footage of me, the cameraman? Absolutely not. }} * Played straight in the ''[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]]'' movie. After Buzz finishes his [[Patrick Stewart Speech]], Zurg makes sure it has been captured on camera so that he can laugh at it later.
