A [[Stock Phrases|Stock Phrase]] used to [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] the inherent immorality or tastelessness of an action, a statement, or a joke. The action itself does not even need to be something that will ''certainly'' [[Moral Event Horizon|send you straight to Hell]].

== Comic Books ==
* In an issue of the erotic comic ''Skin Tight'', the protagonist says this just before having sex with his 18 year sisters (who are identical twins).
== Fan
* In ''[[Kyon:
▲* In ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero (Fanfic)|Kyon Big Damn Hero]]'', Kyon [[Running Gag|keeps telling himself]] he's going to go to [[Firefly (TV)|a very special hell]] when he does things he realize go beyond friendship with Haruhi, Yuki, Mikuru and Tsuruya. Later events ({{spoiler|like him being engaged to Tsuruya and the reaction he expects from Haruhi}}) makes him wonder if he's already in it.
== Film ==
* The opening scene of ''[[Pathology]]'' (consisting of some doctors making corpses 'talk' to each other) ends on this line.
* In the movie ''[[Hamlet 2]]'', the plot surrounds a semi-desperate high school drama director creating a Grease-esque musical surrounding a "Sexy Jesus" (who is to be played by him). At one point, one Hispanic cast member says to his friend in Spanish, "We're going to hell for this play."
* In the film ''December Boys'', a small group of orphan friends (sans one) are sneaking peaks at a Playboy type magazine in the middle of the night. The odd devout boy of the group says to them seriously, "You realize you're going to hell", to which one cheekily replies, "Really?", then holds up the centerfold to him. "At least I'll have company."
* ''[[True Lies]]'' has Gib saying "I'm gonna go to hell" as he's sending Helen on her "mission"
* The movie [[Good Morning Vietnam]] has Robin Williams impersonating a number of celebrity voices that only my dad would understand (natch). Immediately after impersonating [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] (and making less than polite comments about the first daughters), he switches to another character ([[The Andy Griffith Show|Gomer Pyle]], I think) and shouts, "Oh, you're going straight to hell for that one!"
* Bill Sykes has this to say in ''[[Oliver!

== Literature ==

** Specifically, Monica accidentally banged Ross's son Ben's head and he pretended that the injury gave Ben brain damage (forgetting letters and numbers, messed up limb movements, etc.).

* Shortly after Dean of ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' has ''returned'' from Hell, he spends some time in the past and comments on how attractive his mother was as a teenager. Then he adds, "I'm going to Hell. Again."
* In ''[[Desperate Housewives]]'', Gabrielle was caught illegally using {{spoiler|the newly blind Carlos'}} handicap sign by two men in wheelchairs. While one of them goes to get security, the other one attempts to keep her out of her car. Her response is to get behind him and shove him into the middle of the parking lot. She then says:

** She then drives off as quickly as she can.
* In ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'' Ned brought a dead nun back to life to ask her who killed her. She tried to flee, and so ended up forcibly grabbing her to kill her again before the time limit was up. Afterwards, he commented "we are so going to Hell".
* A large part of comedian Josh Blue's routine when he was on ''[[Last Comic Standing]]'' consisted of jokes about his difficulties with cerebral palsy. After a few of those went over well, he yelled at the audience, "You're all going to hell for laughing at me!"

* ''[[Family Feud]]'' host Steve Harvey says this a lot whenever a contestant gives a particularly off-the-wall answer.
== Music ==
* Stephen Lynch's completely tasteless (yet oh-so-hilarious) song "Special Olympics" actually includes a statement to this effect in the lyrics, and he usually mentions a few extra times whenever performing it live.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130618010239/http://www.metrolyrics.com/american-beauty-lyrics-hed-pe.html This] Hed PE song features the line.
* The [[Insane Clown Posse]] song "To Catch a Predator" has this as part of the chorus (though "burn" might also refer to the electric chair):
{{quote|
''Ain't no lesson to learn from this''
''Ain't nothing I'm-a earn''
''But it sure is fun (to catch a predator)'' }}
* NoFX has a song actually ''titled'' "I Am Going To Hell For This One." It's about Jesus coming back, claiming royalties for his use in popular media, then living a drug-fueled orgy of Earthly pleasure while condemning Christians for their self-denial and use of fear and moral arrogance rather than love. Hence the title.

== New Media ==
* At the end of Doug Walker's "Aristocrats" video, there is an outtake of him saying these exact words.
** In episode 43, [[Ask That Guy With
* These exact words are used in a dramatic sense in [https://web.archive.org/web/20101020213407/http://omega_key.comicdish.com/?pageID=95 this page] of a collaborative improvisational comic. (Context: The character uttering these words has just doomed an orbital prison to burn up in the atmosphere.)
* A running joke in the [[Fark]] community is to utter this after making or laughing at a particularly tasteless joke. It has become ubiquitous enough that most people don't even bother to say it, just "One ticket, please" or request a window seat. At least one commenter has requested the "bitch seat" (sitting between two other passengers), reasoning that on any plane or bus to hell, every seat is a bitch seat.
== Recorded and Stand Up Comedy ==
* After an extended impression of Jesus-As-Twilight-Years-[[Elvis Presley|Elvis]] (with him asking for cheeseburgers and oral sex from Mary Magdalene, while noting that he has a colostomy bag that needs emptying and he just voided his bowels), [[Denis Leary]] muses:

* Comedian/Ventriloquist [[Jeff Dunham]] once did a routine about the oddity of having a Sign Language Interpreter present at a Ventriloquist show (and deaf people attending such a show). He likened it to blind people attending a David Copperfield show. At the end of his routine, he says (through his dummy), "We're going to hell for that."
** That's not the worst of it. He explained how he cheerfully proceeded to mess with them by saying a string of random words, followed by saying nothing at all while miming energetic speech and laughter. The poor interpreter had to follow along while the deaf people were left wondering what the heck was going on. Then again, they ''were'' already in [[Running Gag|Hell, a.k.a. Santa Ana]]...
* Comedian Dane Cook has used a variation on this. "I'm going to hell for that one. And ''you'' laughed, so you're coming with me... I'm doing two shows there Friday and Saturday."
* Variation by [[Jimmy Carr]]
* [[Eddie Izzard]]'s historical material often includes Biblical events. After the audience laughs at the end of one bit, he bursts into a song of "Blas~feh
== Tabletop Games ==
* In ''[[In Nomine]]'', an mortal who accomplishes his or her Fate (which, in some cases, can be done by a single action) is going to Hell after death. The only escape is for the mortal to also accomplish his or her Destiny, which would normally send the mortal to Heaven after death - accomplishing both (or neither) means the mortal is reincarnated to have another go.
== Video Games ==
* In a meta example, many players of ''[[Assassin's Creed]] II'' said this when they realized that the [[Final Boss]] was {{spoiler|Pope Alexander VI}}, and that the [[Final Battle]] takes place {{spoiler|inside the Vatican, in the middle of High Mass}}. However, it's historical fact that {{spoiler|Alexander}} was a horrible person, so hopefully [[God]] will give all us gamers a mulligan on this one.
* There is one Flash game where [[Castlevania|Simon Belmont]] faces off against Jesus Christ, with the latter eventually being killed by God. The makers noted in the credits that a lot of people said they're going to hell for this.

* When [[Linkara]] reviewed a Mr. T comic book and came across the line "It's a crack baby, foo'!" he expressed a fear of going to hell for laughing at it.
== Western Animation ==
* In ''[[Daria]]'', from "A Tree Grows in Lawndale", Kevin accidentally sprains his knee and kills the Tommy Sherman Memorial Tree in a motorcycle accident. Brittany and the cheerleaders become inexplicably convinced that Tommy Sherman's ghost is haunting the girl's bathroom because of this. Hence, this moment:

'''Daria:''' You know, if you could just get one of those crutches away from Kevin, you could plant one of them instead. That's sure to appease Tommy's restless bathroom spirit.
'''Brittany:''' You're right! *walks away*

'''Daria:''' Anything that gets me out of Lawndale. }}
** Another episode has Quinn trying to convince people to donate money for her plastic surgery. When she tries to convince a goth girl that her beauty will be something everyone can share, the girl replies "and you're not even the least bit afraid that there may be a Hell?"
* In a sketch on [[Robot Chicken]], Daredevil teams up with Stevie Wonder against Marly Matlin and Helen Keller in a game show. The first round involves "what sound is this?" and the second involves "name this item". Unfortunately, Helen fails and has to do the physical challenge. The directing staff of that episode all say they're going to hell in the commentary.
* Played straight in one episode of ''[[Family Guy]]'' where Tom Tucker and Diane Simmons make jabs at the people taking part in the Special Peoples' Games (i.e., the [[Special Olympics]] with the serial numbers filed off) and note that they are going to go to hell by the end of the day.
