Line 5:
Someone threatens to kill someone else, often by [[Chewing the Scenery|yelling it at the top of their lungs]], or by [[Tranquil Fury|simply saying it, calmly]]. Or variations on this theme, most notably with the F-Bomb <ref>[[Cluster F-Bomb|"Fucking I'll fucking kill fucking you, fuckface!"]]</ref> or with an accent such as [[Jeff Dunham|"I keel yew!"]] [[Hilarity Ensues]], especially if the threatened person replies, "[[Is That a Threat?]]" If there's no realistic chance of it being carried out, this is also quite a straightforward example of [[Ineffectual Death Threats]]. Unless said target dies, in which case they will be near the top of the suspect list.
 
Note that this is a stock[[Stock phrasePhrase]] and must be a variation on "I'll Kill You" and not just a [[Prepare to Die|threat]] [[You Are Already Dead|on]] [[How Would You Like to Die?|a]] [[Kill Him Already|person's]] [[Crush! Kill! Destroy!|life]].
 
Contrast [[You Will Be Spared]] and [[I Kiss Your Foot]].

{{quote|'''Kaname:''' '''HE'S LATE!!!''' What is that idiot thinking, being completely out of reach two days straight?! He still has the notes I let him borrow! I couldn't do my homework, '''I'LL KILL HIM!!!'''}}
** Of course Sousuke forgot about it but he didn't get anything other than spanking with the [[Paper Fan of Doom]].
* Miura from ''[[Yotsubato|MiuraYotsuba&!]]'', despite her boyish mannerisms, is actually quite squeamish about certain things (in contrast to the more girly-seeming Ena, who has no trouble with dehooking or cleaning fish and thinks frogs are cute). When taken on a fishing trip, she balks at being given bait, thinking it's going to be a worm. It's a grub instead. She is then offered salmon roe as a replacement.
{{quote|'''Miura:''' That's way better than some grub! I'm gonna kill you!}}
* [[Noir]]: Part of the arrangement between Mireille and Kirika.
Line 88:
* Near the end of ''[[Black Cat]]'', Creed screams this at Train when it becomes clear that the latter isn't going to join him. The fact that he goes [[One-Winged Angel]] in the process makes it pretty clear that this is also the start of Creed's final [[Villainous Breakdown]].
* Gamma to Byakuran in chapter 355 of ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]''.

Line 96 ⟶ 95:
* Throwaway line in the first ''[[Sam and Max Freelance Police]]'' comic, as they walk past the office of their neighbor, private investigator Flint Paper, who is in the middle of a brawl with some random [[Mooks]]. Paper's unconcerned with the violence and is about to throw a chair at one Mook, who is [[Guns Akimbo|aiming two guns at him]] while shouting "AH KIH YEW!"
* Invoked unwisely in ''[[Daredevil]]''; Bullseye and Daredevil go on a city-wide rooftop chase after Bullseye murders Daredevil's ex-lover Elektra. It ends with Bullseye [[Take My Hand|dangling in Daredevil's grip]] over a long drop...until he shouts "Kill you! I'll kill--" and Daredevil drops him.
 
 
== Fan Works ==
* In the ''[[Shaman King]]'' fanfiction ''[[A Gift of Love]]'', this practically a [[Stock Phrases|stock phrase]] for Ren. He says it more than ''ten times''. Ren II also threatens a few people in this manner in return for harming Lien. Most of the other characters that say it do so half-heartedly when they're annoyed and not with any murderous intent.

{{quote|'''Thrawn''': "Your [[Fantastic Racism|xenocentric chauvinism]] is no concern of mine. I care about performance and results, and your record is exemplary. I do not care about your petty bigotry. Understood?"

** Also, Harry threatening to kill Sirius in ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and Thethe Prisoner of Azkaban (novel)|Prisoner of Azkaban]]''.

* ''[[Dexter]]'', season 2. Santos Jimenez, {{spoiler|one of the guys who killed Dex's mom}}, is about to meet his own chainsaw-related end at Dexter's hands. His last words - while bound to a table with a thick layer of strong plastic - are "I will fucking KILL YOU!" Dexter is quick to point out what's wrong with Santos' threat.
** While Dexter normally appears mild-mannered and rarely shows aggression in public, when he thinks that his stepdaughter Astor has been kidnapped in season five, he immediately goes ballistic on the man and outright says, in front of his coworkers, that if anything has happened to her he will kill him.

* Done twice on ''[[Red Dwarf]]''. When a dead crew member is brought back as a hologram, everyone is reminded that Holly can only sustain one hologram at a time. "So if you die, I'll kill you!" In the episode where Lister and co. are made to believe that their experiences on Red Dwarf had been a game, they watch others play the game. Kochanski scolds Lister for taking so many risks to rescue her and tells him if he does it again, she'll kill him. He responds with a [["Shut Up" Kiss]].

'''Rodney: GET OUT HERE NOW, YOU DIPSTICK, I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!!''' I'll tell you what's up with me. Thanks to you, I am now a twenty-six year old man who's just come second in a skateboard derby, I also have a 13 year old Brost fan called Trudy who's got the hots for me, and '''I'M GONNA KILL YOU!'''

* A long-running gag on ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' was for Tom Servo to speak for movie characters by saying "I ''WILL'' KILL YOU!" in his patented Mighty Voice at points when it seemed appropriate (or ironically inappropriate).
** In earlier seasons there was a separate gag with Joel and the 'bots pleading with the movie, the universe, or the other characters to "Kill him!" This was reserved mostly for [[Plucky Comic Relief]] characters that were lame and unfunny.
* ''[[Glee]]'': [[Villainous Crush|Karofsky]] to [[Forceful Kiss|to Kurt]] in an [[Mood Whiplash|uncharacteristically dark moment]] for what was originally a cracky comedy about unpopular singing high-schoolers. Kurt is rattled enough to {{spoiler|transfer to a different school.}}
