Implied Death Threat: Difference between revisions

 

* A more overtly violent example than most in ''National Security'', after Earl pulls over a student driver:

* In ''[[Ice Age]]'', [[Big Bad|Soto]] does this twice to Diego, his second-in-command charged to bring back a baby so he can eat it alive. When Diego loses it over the falls, Soto snarls at him, "You'd better. Or you can serve yourself as a replacement." He even sends an [[Implied Death Threat]] by proxy when he sends two of his sabres to warn Diego to bring back the baby or "don't come back at all!" Something that hints at certain death for Diego, since the tigers pretty much ''use'' each other to survive, at least in Soto's pack.

 

 

* The classic from Slartibartfast in ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'':

'Late, as in the late Dentarthurdent,' said the old man, sternly. 'It's a sort of threat you see... I've never been very good at them myself, but I'm told they can be very effective.' }}

* One is shown early in ''[[Discworld/Pyramids|Pyramids]]'':

Want it to stay there? }}

 

 

* In the ''[[Victorious]]'' episode "Rex Dies", while Cat is going on about the catwalk:

'''Jade:''' No reason. }}

* In a Season 1 episode of ''[[NCIS]]'', when Ari holds Ducky hostage in autopsy.

* [[WCW]]: [[Mick Foley|Cactus Jack]] and Abdullah [[The Butcher]] brought [http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=7gMkN9X_CqM a cake] to celebrate [[Wrestler/Sting|Sting]]'s birthday.

'''Cactus Jack:''' I know that. Don't you think I know that? But I wasn't here for Sting's last birthday. I wish I was at Sting's last birthday. But you see it's very important that we celebrate now, because Sting's last birthday was Sting's '''last''' birthday! }}

 

** Of course, considering [[An Adventurer Is You|you're an adventurer]] [[In a World]] where [[Everything Is Trying to Kill You]], he really ''could'' have been looking out for your best interests: you need something to defend yourself with!

* In ''[[Portal 2]]'', when you meet up with GLaDOS again, she says: "Look, we both said a lot of things that ''you're'' going to regret." She then continues along this line in later chambers, with her "real surprise, with ''tragic consequences''," her "solution to both our problems [...] that honestly works out great for ''one of'' both of us" and her announcement that she has learned to discard things that "are just [[You Are Fat|taking up space]]". And just when it seems that she couldn't lay it on any thicker, in Chapter 8, {{spoiler|Wheatley}} gets a turn, with a triumphant [[Don't Explain the Joke]] thrown in:

'''{{spoiler|1=GLaDOS}}:''' Thanks, we get it. }}

* In ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics Advance]]'', Llednar delivers one after Cid {{spoiler|nullifies the law that makes him invincible}}.
