Informal Eulogy: Difference between revisions

''Bite the dust, [[Space Cadet]].''

 

[[Mystery Science Theater 3000|Crow T. Robot]] (As Dan Kester), ''[[The Giant Spider Invasion]]'' }}

 

* In the original MSX version of ''[[Snatcher]]'', Metal will deliver a little eulogy if you die in a fight.

* ''[[Tales of Monkey Island]]'': {{spoiler|1=At the very end of Chapter 4, when Guybrush dies from his mortal wounds and Elaine becomes enraged and points her sword at LeChuck:}}

{{spoiler|'''Elaine:''' How appropriate... [[You Fight Like a Cow|you fight like a Pox-infected undead cow.]]''*sword clash*''}} }}

 

* High-ranking enemies in ''[[City of Heroes]]'' and ''City of Villains'' taunt you if they defeat you. It can get annoying when they continually defeat disposable pets.

** Happens to certain dungeon and raid bosses in ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' too. Especially amusing are Priestess Delrissa's (a 5-man boss). In order of death:

"It's been a kick, really." }}

 

** "I'll say something really teary at the funeral, like '''How am I going to be changed back now?'''"

* Boss enemies in '''[[Iji]]''' do this:

'''{{spoiler|Tor}}:''' Like a spark to the fire. }}

== [[Roguelike]] ==

* ''[[Planescape: Torment]]'' will have one of your allies comment should you (or anyone else in the party) drop. Morte and Annah, naturally, have the snarky lines.

** What makes this especially funny is the irreverent tone in which they make these comments, [[Death Is Cheap|as if they've seen it a million times before.]]

* ''[[Wizardry]] 8'' features a whopping 36 available voice sets to assign to your characters. Each set has their own informal eulogies for the death of a male, female, or special recruitable party member.

* ''[[Baldur's Gate]]'' has a ton of these:

** It's all the more fun when someone else in your party was familiar with the character who died.

'''Jaheira:''' [[How Dare You Die on Me!|Khalid, you die on me and I swear you'll never hear the end of it!]] }}

* In ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'', if you or one of your allies die during a battle they will utter something (both the person who dies and some other character). What they say depends on who dies and your relationship with that character. For example, if Kratos dies and has the highest affection rating, Lloyd will call out "''No! I don't believe this!''"

* ''[[Persona 3]]'' has [[Mission Control]] begging the player character to get up, or denying that he could possibly be defeated, in various fashions when [[We Cannot Go on Without You]] is invoked.

** And once the screen fades to black, [[Game Over Man|Igor]] waxes poetic on the Main Character's death:

** Ditto for ''[[Persona 4]]'' on both counts.

* In ''[[Fallout 3]]'', often when you brutally murder another pacifist human being you can hear their friends nearby shout "YOU KILLED HER!" Even if the recently-dead person is male

== [[Stealth Based Game]] ==

* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' has one of the [[Mission Control]] characters, apparently hearing Snake's dying scream over the CODEC, frantically contact him as "Game Over" pops up, usually with some form of, "Snake, what happened? Snake?!? SNAAAAKKKEEEE!" [[Nonstandard Game Over|Sometimes this changes]] - hitting the C4 wires during the fight with Ocelot in the first game leads to Ocelot shouting, ''"You idiot!"'' (The remake changed it to a more restrained "You stupid fool..."). If you die trying to resist [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique|the torture]], you hear a snatch of a conversation between Liquid and Ocelot:

'''Ocelot''': ...Sorry, Boss. }}

** And let's not forget

** ''[[Super Smash Bros]] Brawl'' also has the "SNAAAAKE" yells if you die while the Codec is playing a message. The [[Star Fox (series)|Slippy]] one is particularly funny.

 

== [[Literature]] ==

* ''[[Star Wars/Allegiance|Allegiance]]''.

 

== [[Live-Action TV]] ==

* ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'' has Emerson give a particularly hilarious informal eulogy for {{spoiler|the villainous Dwight Dixon}}:

Now he's done. }}

 

== [[Web Original]] ==

* During Sarge's funeral in [[Red vs. Blue]], Grif delivers a roast instead of a eulogy, and [[The Starscream|Simmons]] eulogy is actually a campaign speech for Sarge's old job.

** It should also be noted that Sarge is actually there, [[Attending Your Own Funeral|attending his own funeral]] ([[It Makes Sense in Context]]).

 

* Yzma's eulogy for Kuzco in ''[[The Emperor's New Groove|The Emperors New Groove]]'' starts out formal, but then she abruptly ends it with "Well! He ain't gettin' any deader! Back to work!" For the record, Kronk thinks it was lovely.

* Parodied in the ''[[Rugrats]]'' episode, "The Mysterious Mr. Friend", when the babies bury an immobile Mr. Friend (whom they call "Mr. Fiend") in a grave:

'''Phil and Lil:''' A-hen! }}
