* Whenever Kenny dies in the ''[[South Park]]'' cartoon, someone (usually Kyle, Stan, and/or Cartman) will shout, "Oh my God! They killed Kenny! You bastard!" However, in the game ''South Park and the Stick of Truth'', {{spoiler|where Kenny is the [[Final Boss]], Kyle starts to say it when you appear to defeat Kenny, but before he can say the "You bastard!" part, he instead says, "Oh wait, he's back." And it's [[Oh Crap| only too true]], because [[The Battle Didn't Count]] and it's about to get ''much'' harder.}}
* In ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', Illiden frequently tells allies and enemies alike that "You are NOT prepared!" his way of belittling them. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRNBtaHPkZU&ab_channel=InsaneOwl In this cinematic,] however, he ''starts'' by saying this, but after the Demon Slayers invade the Legion's world and sucessfully defeat them, he tells a protege, "You ARE prepared."

'''Brain:''' [[Borrowed Catchphrase|Narf.]] }}
:* There are also two or three occasions when Pinky actually is [[Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?|pondering what Brain is pondering]], instead of giving his usual response of "I think so, Brain, but..."
* As stated above in "Video Games", the usual reaction to Kenny's death in ''[[South Park]]'' is "Oh my God! They killed Kenny! You bastards!" However, [[They Killed Kenny Again|Kenny's death]] has been a [[Running Gag]] for so long, the Trope is applied now and then:
** In one episode, before Stan can say the "You bastards!" part, Wendy frantically asks him who "they" are. He's at a loss to answer.
** Another late-season episode where Stan and Kyle clearly can't fake being surprised anymore:
Line 71 ⟶ 72:
* ''[[Futurama]]'' sometimes does this with Farnsworth's "Good news, everyone", instead having him say something like "Bad news, no one" or "Good news, no one".
** Also, Hermes in "How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back": "Sweet... something... of... someplace". This counts as a subversion as well as a [[Lampshade Hanging]], since it's the only time where it doesn't rhyme, and one of the only times when the "something" isn't an animal.
* [[Bugs Bunny]] has changed his catchphrase (
** In “Knightmare Hare” when he meets Sir O of Kay: “Eh, what’s up, Duke?”
** When he meets Christopher Columbus in “Hare We Go”: “Eh, what’s-a ups-a, Docs?”
Line 82 ⟶ 83:
** When he meets a scared crocodile in “Bedeviled Rabbit”: “Eh, what’s up, Croc?”
** To baby Elmer in "Baby Buggy Bunny": "Eh, what's up, pediatrician?"
** At least once to Daffy: "Eh, what's up, Duck?"
* A ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' example for another character: The Giant in “Beanstalk Tweety” Subverts ''two'' characters’ (his own and Tweety's) catchphrases in one line:
