{{quote|'''Venkman:''' Ray has gone bye-bye, Egon. What've you got left?
'''Egon:''' Sorry, Venkman, I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought. }}
** In [[Ghostbusters: The Video Game|the video game]], when he and the Rookie encounter a serial killer's ghost in the elevator they were in, he expresses it in a [[That Makes Me Feel Angry]] fashion.
{{quote|'''Egon:''' Well. That was terrifying.}}
* In the ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'' movie, regardless of whether they're hovering over a [[Doomy Dooms of Doom|doomy canyon of doom]], or trying to thread narrow walkways with falling pillars, Justin and Alex still find time to snark incessantly at each other.
* In the movie adaptation of ''[[Angels & Demons]]'', Robert Langdon has this to say upon finding himself locked in a hermetically sealed vault in the Vatican Library with no incoming oxygen because the power is being cycled throughout Vatican City:
Line 170 ⟶ 168:
* The final conversation over the radio between Steve and Peggy in ''[[Captain America: The First Avenger]]''. They were making plans to go dancing, even when they both know Steve [[Tear Jerker|isn't going to make it.]] (Of course, this was a given both in [[In Medias Res|the film's setup]] and the history of the character)
{{quote|"It'll have to be a slow dance, I don't want to [[Killed Mid-Sentence|step on your-]]"}}
* ''The [[The Avengers (1998 film)|1998 British film of ''The Avengers]]'']] (the 1998 film with the British ones) relies ''too'' heavily on this trope, as virtually no one shows any amount of emotion at any point in the entire movie despite being in constant mortal danger.
* The [[MCU]] film of ''[[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]]'' (the newer [[MCU]] one) has a lot of this as well. It's justified in a way, due to the fact that,; though they had greater numbers, the Chitauri weren't exactly impressive fighters., Thoughthough the casual banter does go down significantly as the battle goes on.
* In ''[[Black Hawk Down]]'', McKnight seems very casual under fire, conducting conversations in a neutral tone while everyone is freaked out about it and bullets fly by.

* Though it may be an artifact of the nature of the song, C.W. McCall's [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6LzWZYWpOU "Wolf Creek Pass"] hasis full of bits like this bitone in a near deadpan:
{{quote|''And I said, "Earl, I'm not the type to complain,
''But the time has come for me to explain
''That if you don't apply some brake real soon
''They're gonna have to pick us up with a stick an' a spoon."}}
:And this isn't the only example; the song is full of bits like this.

* Lewa, the [[Plucky Comic Relief]] in ''[[Bionicle]]'', does this in just about every scene he's in. This leads to a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] when he decides to start telling his friends the story of the [[Rule of Three|three]] [[Little People|Matoran]], the [[Big Creepy-Crawlies|Rama swarm]] and the [[Fantastic Fruits and Vegetables|basket of Bula berries]]... ''in the middle of a battle''. He even annoys Kopaka into a [[Not So Stoic]] moment with his seemingly pointless babble.
Line 347 ⟶ 343:
'''Radio operator:''' What? That chip is installed near your heart!
'''Marine:''' I know, I can see it. }}
** In ''[[Ghostbusters: The Video Game|the video game]]'', when heEgon and the Rookie encounter a serial killer's ghost in the elevator they were in, he expresses it in a [[That Makes Me Feel Angry]]|rather flat fashion]].
