Line 4:
What can you do when you've seen it all? Not much except kill yourself, apparently. After all, there's nothing in the world you'd really want to see twice.
On its way to becoming a [[Forgotten Trope]], a '''"Seen It All" Suicide''' occurs when a cartoon character, having seen some outrageous sight, proclaims "Now I've seen everything!" and promptly [[Hammerspace|produces a pistol]] and shoots himself on the spot. The reason this might happen is because the character feels they have finally cracked and wish to end their lives before it gets worse. When these old cartoons are reaired nowadays, however, this joke is usually [[Bowdlerise]]d out. Watch for it—if a character proclaims that he's seen it all, expect him not to show up again.
In [[Real Life]], people sometimes say things like, [[Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter!|"I'm ready, Jesus,"]] if something momentous has just happened—meant to indicate that they're ready to die, but without the rather jarring effect of pulling a weapon out of thin air and actually doing the job.
Line 11:
For the more serious and dramatic situation when a character decides to die because they've seen and done everything and can't see anything in their future but crushing boredom, see [[Nothing Left to Do But Die]].
