Compare [[If You Die I Call Your Stuff]] and [[To Absent Friends]].
{{examples

** "If you ''dare'' say 'that's gotta hurt', I'll kill you."
** Alas, poor Lazlo. "He was the finest mind of his generation!"
** And with a little more [[Genre Savvy]], "He's done this before, he'll be OK!"
* ''[[Halo]]'' had a couple that emphasized how in awe everyone was of the Master Chief, such as a teammate saying "Great, now ''what'' do we do?", or an enemy Grunt saying in astonishment [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|"It...dies?"]]. Others were more humorous, such as Sergeant Johnson commenting "Ha ha, Chief, real funny. Now get up. ......uh-oh."
** There is also plenty of dialogue where enemies and allies will react to the deaths of their comrades and enemies, with Marines shouting exclamations like "Why is it always the beautiful ones?" and "That man had a kitten!" and Grunts making an honestly heartbreaking peal of "He was my best friend!"
** [[The Scrappy|"Reclaimer, the Archive is this way! ...Reclaimer?"]]

For example: "Another ''thrilling'' entreé!", "Do the math.", "Hey Uzuki! How 'bout that ramen?", "{{spoiler|[[Final Boss|Now Shibuya... will be saved.]]}}", and "{{spoiler|[[Bonus Boss|Open up your world!]]}}"
== [[Shoot
* Your teammates screaming [[Big No|"Noooooo!"]] when you die in ''[[Star Fox (Video Game)|Star Fox]] 64/Lylat Wars''.
** If you're alone and fighting [[Big Bad|Andross]], you'll just hear Fox scream instead. I believe you will also hear [[Nightmare Fuel|Andross laugh.]]
Line 126:
* Two escorted [[NPC|NPCs]] (Jimmy and a corrections officer) in ''[[The Suffering]]'' would comment on your death ("Shit! That guy was dead weight anyway." and "Oh my God in heaven, they killed him, oh god oh god...", respectively).

* The classic "Oh My God! They/We/You/I/She/He Killed Kenny!" running gag from ''[[South Park (Animation)|South Park]]''.
