{{quote| ''"Please don't do that again."''<br />
''"I agree."''<br />
'''Pyro''' and '''Wolverine''' in the second ''[[X-Men (Filmfilm)|X-Men]]'' movie, after '''Jean Grey''' performs maneuvers to evade missiles. }}
 
A stock phrase used after the hero has done some daring do that obviously was very painful and/or taxing. In saying this, the Hero is acknowledging that he is not open to repeating the experience as he tries to recover.
Line 17:
 
== [[Film]] ==
* Used in the movie ''[[Jackass (TV)|Jackass: Number Two]]'', during the "Medicine Ball Dodgeball (in the dark)" stunt. After asking how it turned out after getting beaned every which way with medicine balls, Chris Pontius says, "That was fun. Let's never do that again."
* ''[[X-Men (Filmfilm)|X-Men]] The Last Stand'': Bobby after being phased though the ground and back out again.
* ''[[Mortal Kombat (Filmfilm)|Mortal Kombat]]'': Johnny Cage has a bad day during filming because the stuntmen kept screwing things up and didn't want to redo the scene again.
 
== [[Jokes]] ==
Line 25:
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* Gets used several times in ''[[Animorphs (Literature)|Animorphs]]'', usually involving Marco.
{{quote| '''Marco:''' That was fun. Let's never, ''ever'', do it again.<br />
'''Tobias:''' Ever.<br />
Line 32:
 
== [[Live Action Television]] ==
* Jack Harkness casually drops this in while referring to [[Mister Seahorse|pregnancy]] in the ''[[Torchwood (TV)|Torchwood]]'' episode "Everything Changes".
* In one episode of ''[[WKRP in Cincinnati]]'' Herb gets talked into pretending to be gay and hitting on another guy. The attempt fails, and when he gets back: "I am ''never'' doing that again! I get enough rejection from ''women''!"
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Taken to an extreme by Sharwyn in ''[[Neverwinter Nights]]'': [[Death Is Cheap|"Dying was unpleasant, to say the least. Let's not do that again, shall we?"]]
* In ''[[Paper Mario (Video Gamefranchise)|Paper Mario]]: The Thousand Year Door'', if you take Flurrie through the {{spoiler|plumbing via the toilet}} in Chapter 3 when {{spoiler|you're taken into a ''more'' dilapidated locker room than the one you were in at first}}, she requests that she never does that again.
 
== [[Web Animation]] ==
Line 47:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In a "Frogger" episode on ''[[Saturday Supercade]]'', Frogger used his tongue to prevent a fatal accident. Unfortunately, the only thing he can latch onto is a cactus and afterward, his tongue is painfully perforated with cactus needles. Cue trope title.
* In one ''[[Justice League (Animationanimation)|Justice League]]'' episode, [[Metamorpho (Comic Book)|Metamorpho]] [[Disney Death|apparently sacrificed his life]] to stop a monster. Fortunately, Metamorpho is able to reconstitute himself with a satisified but weary comment, "I'm not doing that again."
** And when the Flash finally [[I Am Not Left-Handed|hits top speed]] to defeat the [[Big Bad]] and the rest of the [[Justice League]] pulls him from the brink, we get the page quote. Earlier in the same episode, this is his reaction to the way he took out his evil, Braniac-generated doppelganger (punching through its chest and vibrating until it exploded, knocking him for a loop in the process).
* In the ''[[Challenge of the Go Bots]]'' episode "Et Tu, Cy-Kill?" Leader-1 ends up having to fly in jet mode, at jet speeds, through a huge corridor filled with stone columns, dodging all of them. Afterward he [[Transforming Mecha|transforms]], falls to his knees, and says, "I couldn't do that twice."
