Nearly always [[Played for Laughs]]. Not to be confused with [[Oh God, with the Verbing!]].

 

{{examples}}

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* The much-lampooned [[Doom (Comic Book)|Doom]] comic book's version:

* Although it's not used ''in'' it, there's a spoof self-help book out there bearing this name.

 

* In ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'', when Sheldon is told that money that could go to the physics department might go to liberal arts instead, he shouts, "Oh, the [[A Worldwide Punomenon|Humanities!]]"

* Chandler in ''[[Friends]]'' gives a deadpan one of these after watching Ross's terrible attempts to hit on the pizza delivery girl.

* Directly parodied by the "Who Cares Hindenburg" on ''[[Late Night]] with Jimmy Fallon''. After bringing up some useless news stories, usually celebrity gossip, Jimmy Fallon declares that all those stories are going into the "Who Cares Hindenburg". Then we see [[Stock Footage]] of the Hindenburg exploding while an announcer sarcastically mourns the loss of all those stories, ending with "Oh, the humanity! WHO CARES?!"

* [[Monk]] says this a lot, for reasons most wouldn't. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

** "Mr. Monk and the Kid". Monk is performing a diaper change.

* Newman tops off a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] in ''[[Seinfeld]]'' by yelling it as his mail-truck catches on fire.

* ''[[WKRP in Cincinnati]]'': Les Nessman yells it during the infamous Turkey incident.

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

* In ''[[Spore]]'', you get an achievement for finding Earth and [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|obliterating it]]. One guess as to what it's called.

** An urban legend is that a similar achievement "Oh, the Huge Manatee" is found for getting eaten by the giant sea monster in creature stage.

 

* ''[[Homestuck]]'':

== [[Web Original]] ==

{{quote|'''Tristan:''' My voice gives me super-strength!

'''Tristan:''' *Falling after getting hit by Kemo's flying kick* Oh, the ''humanity''! }}

 

{{quote|'''Daria:''' Oh, the lack of humanity.}}

* On an episode of ''[[Darkwing Duck (animation)|Darkwing Duck]]'', Drake takes Gosalyn camping. While they're roasting marshmallows, Gosalyn sets her marshmallow on fire and quotes Morrison's commentary.

* In ''[[Futurama]],'' when the Professor thinks Amy and Bender have died:

{{quote|'''The Professor:''' Oh, the humanity! [[My Friends and Zoidberg|Also Bender]].}}

* Mikey says this line in ''[[Recess]]'' a number of times.

** He also says it in the Dodgeball game on Toon Disney's website (now gone) when you hit him with a dodgeball.

{{quote|'''Ren''': "Oh, the ''humanity'' of it all!"}}

* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' does it in "[[wikipedia:Lisa the Beauty Queen|Lisa the Beauty Queen]]", when the Duff Beer blimp crashes Kent Brockman mutters "Oh, the humanity... anyway..." and carries on talking as if nothing had happened.

** In one episode of ''The Itchy & Scratchy Show'', Scratchy is blown up like a blimp and explodes. A nearby reporter exclaims, "Oh, the hilarity!"

** In "500 Keys" Chief Wiggum in a low speed blimp chase shouts "Oh the Zoo Manity!" after crashing into a Zoo Manity billboard.
