Line 54:
* Phoney Bone in ''[[Bone]]'' when he has to go work at the tavern for [[Retired Badass|Lucius]], especially after the disastrous Cow Race. Phoney also bets Lucius that he can run the bar better than Lucius, and if he wins, he gets relieved of his debt. If, however, he turns out to be wrong, he has to work for Lucius for the rest of his life. Realizing almost immediately that this was a not-too-stellar idea (the townsfolk hate him, and won't patronize the bar at all while he's in charge), his reaction is "... ''groan'' I'm dead."
** Also when he finds out Grandma Ben is {{spoiler|Queen of the Valley}} - "My life is gonna suck, isn't it?"
* An issue of ''[[Justice League of America]]'' has the league facing down a new alien menace. [[Batman]] has a plan, but it is rather dangerous for [[The Flash]] (it involves him basically [[Riding the Bomb|riding a missile]]). When Flash shows up, Batman starts to explain the plan, while putting a companionable hand on Flash's arm. "He's touching me. Batman is touching me...
* Basile in ''[[Leonard Le Genie]]'' can often see the pain coming in advance. For example, when the aeroplane he is testing fails, he yells something like "I'm gonna break every bone in my bodyyyyyyyyyyy!!!" as he crashes down.
* In ''[[Don Rosa|Dream of a Lifetime]]'', [[Donald Duck]] entered Scrooge's dreams and, through them, reviewed several aspects of Scrooge's life. When he found himself at a ship, he was relieved until he realized it was the Titanic. "Oh, brother" really fits the problem.

== Films ==
* The live action movie remake of ''[[George of the Jungle (film)|George of the Jungle]]'' features
{{quote|'''George''': ...George don't feel so good.}}
* ''[[The Incredibles]]'': Prior to catching a
* In ''[[Attack of the Clones]]'', Obi-Wan is fighting Jango and dropkicks him off the platform... only to realize that he is actually ''[[Face Palm|tied]]'' [[Face Palm|to the guy]]. "Oh, ''not'' good!"
** Of course, ''every'' ''[[Star Wars]]'' movie, and a lot of [[Expanded Universe]] works as well, include the phrase "[[Author Catchphrase|I've got a bad feeling about this]]".
Line 73:
''(C-3PO explains why)''
'''Han:''' We're in trouble! }}
** ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' contains an extended
{{quote|'''Han:''' Together again.
'''Luke:''' Wouldn't miss it.
Line 122:
* From ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]''.
{{quote|"Oh... not good."}}
** Also, in the second film of the series, Jack Sparrow utters the word "bugger" at least three times. The first time is an [[Oh Crap]] moment; the second time, it's used when Jack is dangling from his leg by a rope attached to a bamboo pole stuck between two high clifftops- just before the pole gives way - and it's a
* ''[[Hannibal]]''. After being handcuffed to Clarice Starling, Hannibal Lecter holds a hatchet above her wrist (after she refuses to give him the key) and says, "You know, this is really going to hurt." {{spoiler|He then cuts off his ''own'' hand.}} (Averted in the book.)
* In National Lampoon's ''[[Animal House]]'', when the gang enters the black night club, and everyone inside is instantly silent (including the band), Otter leans forward and says, calmly, "We are going to die."
Line 172:
* Witness any [[Professional Wrestling|pro wrestler]] who finds himself standing across the ring from [[The Giant]]. Their body language just about says it all.
** Hornswoggle (a 3'10" ''leprechaun'') started ''crying'' when he saw he had to go up against the 7'2" Great Khali.
** Tommy Dreamer had one of these moments after being told he had 30 seconds to make it to the ring for his match. He just barely manages to beat the clock, celebrates that... then turns around to see his opponent, the 6'9" 487-lb. Big Daddy V. Dreamer's expression at that moment
* In season seven of ''[[24|Twenty Four]]'', Jack has to escape from an FBI building by driving a car out of the third story of the parking garage. Right before doing so, the normally deadly serious Jack quips: "This is gonna hurt."
* Darien Fawkes on ''[[The Invisible Man (TV series)|The Invisible Man]]'' lets out an "Ah, crap" in a deadpan tone with such [[Once an Episode|frequency]] it's one of his [[Catch Phrase|catch phrases]].
Line 269:
* Comedic example in ''[[Fate/stay night]]'', During one route, HF possibly, Taiga starts worrying that Shirou might try something on Saber... at which point Saber casually notes 'Hey, if he really wants to, I guess I'm okay with that. Not a problem.' At which point Shirou freezes, because he ''knows'' Taiga is now going to beat the crap out of him. Couple seconds of silence and... Yea, you're really not helping the situation at all, Saber.
* The hardest difficulty setting in ''[[Doom]]'' is Nightmare!, featuring faster monsters that respawn shortly after being killed, and most cheat codes disabled. The only advantage you have is that enemies that drop ammo drop more than normal. When selecting it, the game asks "Are you sure? [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard|This skill level isn't even remotely fair]]."
** id Software's next game, ''[[Quake (series)|Quake]]'', tells you
* When you mouse over the difficulty levels in ''[[Civilization]] IV'', you will usually see a short description of exactly [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard|how many bonuses the computer gets]]... but not on Deity, the hardest level. That simply reads "Mwuhahaha! Good luck, sucker!"
* ''[[Left 4 Dead]]:''
Line 310:
This is probably gonna suck bigtime. }}
* In the City Elf origin in ''[[Dragon Age]]'', two guards think that "Hey, she's got no weapon, and he's just a pansy elf.", then said pansy elf tosses you a sword. The guards go [[Oh Crap]], because you're about to kick their asses.
* ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'' has one of the best non-vocal
* The boss fight with Chaos at the end of ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' has the player epitomizing this trope. Particularly once you get a load of his stats, equipment augmenting said stats, and then realizing that you fight him [[Recurring Boss|more than once]]. And, if you thought Chaos was bad, wait 'til you get a load of {{spoiler|Feral Chaos}} in the prequel. [[Schmuck Bait|Go ahead; tell that moogle from the tutorial that you've mastered the game.]]
* Online play against a skillful [[Blaz Blue|Iron Tager]] player. Especially when the [[Meteor Move]] comes...
Line 325:
'''PA''': Unexpected Obstruction ahead. Emergency stop initiated. Welcome to: The Medical Bay.
'''Isaac''': Crap. }}
* In ''[[Prototype (video game)|Prototype]]'', if Alex Mercer charges an attack near a Marine, there's a whole ''catalogue'' of sound bites for that Marine to say – every one a variation on
* ''[[Starcraft II]]'' has a warning from the Adjutant during the final mission that only counts as this if you have ample personnel and security to deal with it. If you don't, it's [[Oh Crap|the other trope]].
{{quote|''Warning: seismic disturbance detected. Nydus worm inbound.''
Line 339:
* You know this is going through Higgs' mind in the last panel of [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100215 this] ''[[Girl Genius]]'' strip.
** [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100217 Not really.] He's not called ''The Unstoppable Higgs'' for nothing.
**
*** That seems less of a "This Is Gonna Suck" moment, and more of an [[Uncomfortable Elevator Moment]].
** Agatha's party gets a collective one [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110218 here].
Line 357:
{{quote|'''Tristram:''' <small>''Anyone'' but ''her''.</small>}}
* One [[Something Positive]] strip discusses the apparent bad luck with which Davan's family seems to be plagued. The account of one ancestor who died while working in a lumber mill when one of the saw blades slipped its moorings and went hurtling towards him simply shows the ancestor noticing his impending demise and thinking, "I do believe this will sting."
* ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]]''
{{quote|'''Bob:''' (in tiny little letters) Oh gosh... That's not good...
'''Jerry''' Smithson, you know any good mineshafts? }}
Line 365:
** Then after his miraculous survival, [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/061002 was cornered by Dr. Wily] and mentions how if he "still had a lower body I'd be pissing himself about now."
* In ''[[The Adventures of Shan Shan]]'', when learning Shan Shan is being recruited to help save the universal balance, Backpack's reaction is "[http://shanshan.upperrealms.com/view.php?pageid=038&chapterid=1 We're all gonna die!]"
* In ''[[Erstwhile]]'''s "All Fur", the king wishes to marry his daughter. Everyone else is appropriately horrified, but he's the king. So the princess sets him to several [[Impossible Task
{{quote|''The wedding shall be tomorrow!''}}

** Also, in "Scott Tenorman Must Die", the boys are going to see ''[[Men in Black (film)|Men in Black]] II''. Cartman says "This movie better not suck ass." Kyle responds "It will."
** In "Butt Out", which mocks Anti-Smoking groups. During the Butt-Out assembly, Kyle eventually turns to Stan and says exactly what the tropes says.
* In [http://current.com/items/76366122/iraq_speech_outtakes.htm this] ''[[Supernews]]'' clip, President George W. Bush has to announce the latest plan for the Iraq War after a succession of failed plans... and he whines during the practice run about just how much
* [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force|Carl]], where he opens his front door and finds himself staring down an army of [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future]] robots. The last ''intelligible'' thing he says is, "You have got to be freaking ''kidding me.''"
* In the second [[The Spectacular Spider-Man|Sinister Six episode]], our freaking [[The Adjectival Superhero|Spectacular, Amazing, or sometimes adjectiveless hero]] jumps on a frozen part of the sea luring his enemy, [[Dumb Muscle|Rhino]] after him. Rhino jumps on the ice.. And realizes what he's just done, as the ice breaks beneath him he looks at Spidey and says: ".. I hate you. ''So'' much." and he sinks straight through it.
