This Is Gonna Suck: Difference between revisions

* In the fourth episode of ''[[Mnemosyne]]'', Rin grapples {{spoiler|Android Ruon}} and throws herself out of a flying airplane. What she probably didn't count on is that they are flying straight [[Turbine Blender|into the plane's turbine]]. But her reaction? "''This'' may be too much even for [[Immortality|me]]..."

* ''[[Hellsing]]'' [[Complete Monster|Jan Valentine]], when he bursts in on the Round Table conference to find Integra and the other members calmly facing him [[Oh Crap|with anti-vampire weaponry]].

'''Jan''': [[Crowning Moment of Funny|...oh, fuck me.]] [''gets utterly ventilated''] }}

'''Fujiko: (deadpan)''' "I'll bet." }}

* Rally utters this when pinned down by gunfire on a warehouse catwalk in the first ep of ''[[Gunsmith Cats]]'':

* Often said in some form or another by Kyon in the [[Haruhi Suzumiya]] series. He can reliably begin any given story wondering when Haruhi will burst into the clubroom with some new insane scheme that he will undeniably have to suffer through just to keep her happy.

* In ''[[Bleach]]'', Ulquiorra treats {{spoiler|''losing everything below his waist''}} pretty well, considering he {{spoiler|knows that he's dying.}} He even makes note of it in his head and isn't even remotely panicked, like it's the ending of just another fight and everyone's just scratched. He even states flat-out that {{spoiler|he's dying when he turns to ash}} and it seems like he's just stating a regular order.

 

 

* ''[[Notting Hill]]''; Hugh Grant's character is climbing over a fence in a most inept manner; he exclaims "Ohh, this is going to be ''very'' unpleasant." He then bangs his shin and swears wholeheartedly.'

* In ''[[Cannibal! The Musical]]'', the juvenile character Humphrey uses the exact phrase before crossing the Green River.

* In ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man 2]]'', when Tony and Rhodey/War Machine are enjoying their victory over the Hammer drones, Ivan Vanko arrives wearing his ''own'' suit of armor. Rhodey's response? "Oh, this ain't gonna be good..."

* In ''Next'' (2007), Frank Cadillac ([[Nicolas Cage]]) can see a bit into the future. Right before he gets punched in the face, he mumbles "Incoming."

== Literature ==

* In the novel ''[[The Acts of Caine|Blade of Tyshalle]]'', by Matthew Woodring Stover. The main character, Hari, is a paraplegic - and at the moment, he is trapped in a burning building thanks to an assassination attempt. His 200-lb. companion has been knocked unconscious and must be dragged along, the air is full of dust and smoke ([[Captain Obvious|making it hard to breathe]]), his wheelchair is unavailable, and he has to bypass several stories of staircase anyways before he can find an exit. "''This'', thought Hari, ''is gonna suck''." {{spoiler|Don't worry, [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|he gets them both out alive]].}}

* ''[[Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy]]'': Arthur Dent's catchphrase: "So this is it. We're going to die." Thoroughly [[Lampshaded]] as a [[Captain Obvious]] Moment.

* In Chris Wraight's ''Battle of the Fang'', the Space Wolf called Blackwing ejects from his heavily damaged scout ship seconds before it blows up. Drifting away from the blast, he soon finds himself in the path of one particularly large piece of fast-flying debris. He has just enough time for three thoughts, the last of which is basically "This is really going to hurt.". Cue plasma drive shaft smashing into armored Space Marine at a couple hundred mph.

** Angelus and Drusilia have this look when facing down Buffy armed with a rocket launcher. They unfreeze from their terror just in time to dive out of the way.

* ''[[Grey's Anatomy|Greys Anatomy]]'': Meredith Grey says exactly this when she realizes that Owen's trauma certification exercise involves treating two dozen mangled dummies strewn across the parking lot, [[Rain, Rain, Go Away|in the rain]]. She's right.

* Said word-for-word by Audrey Parker and Nathan Wuornos in ''[[Haven]]'' when a swarm of [[Reality Warper]] butterflies enter their truck.

* At the end of an episode of ''[[Scrubs]]'', Elliot grabs J.D. (who at the time was in love with her) to come with her to meet her boyfriend who was coming home in a few minutes. J.D.'s voice over says "Oh, this is gonna suck".

 

== Tabletop Games ==

** Something really, really big comes on from reserves/teleports in.

** [[More Dakka|A Baneblade or Titan opens fire]].

** An Ork mob charges.

*** Alternatively, said mob falls short of the target, and is now [[Bullet Hell|sitting in the middle of a neat killbox.]]

** Anytime the Barbarian starts to rage. Doubly so if he's a Frenzied Berserker.

** A monster casually walks up to you. Assume the worst.

** ''[[Rock Band|Rock Band 2]]'' has a similar message when you qualify for the "Endless Setlist 2", also known as "Eighty-four freakin' songs in a row."

* Every boss in ''[[Radiant Silvergun]]'' (except for the Stage 1 boss) is preceded by a warning screen with three pieces of cryptic advice. For the Stage 6 boss, the three tips (shown above) are "Be praying," "Be praying," and "Be praying."

* In [[Stronghold Crusader]], order any low-level soldier to attack the enemy Lord, or any unit not on horseback to walk a long way, or a powerful soldier to dig the moat and you'll usually get a response on these lines.

{{quote|'''Monk:'''"Pray for ''us''..."

*** This used to be a frequent occurrence for alliance players exploring Redridge, a level 15-20 area, as they followed that path leading to the area north of it... and were greeted by a pack of level 50 imps in the Burning Steppes.

* ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]'':

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 This Is Gonna Suck moments ever. Just two (glowing) eyes conveys Black Waltz's realisation that lightning magic+wooden airship=loss of control+mid-air explosion. You get a single shot of his eyes just as he works this out. It's [[Crowning Moment of Funny|BRILL]][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3vlsC-k1tU&t=1m4s IANT.]

* 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.]]

* ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'' - Raiden's reaction to being trapped in a room with one exit by an [[Immune to Bullets|invincible madwoman]] with a [[Wave Motion Tuning Fork]] that can blast through solid steel who has just vowed to kill him - "Oh, crap."

* In the ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' short "Meet the Sandvich", the Soldier's reaction to The Heavy getting the sandvich.

{{quote|"Ohhh ''hell''".}}

{{quote|'''Raynor''': Air units nothing - those're transports! Quick, get the laser drill to knock them out of the sky!}}

* Gus the Gremlin from ''[[Epic Mickey]]'', when {{spoiler|He, Mickey, and Oswald take the Moonliner to attack the Shadow Blot.}}

'''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 This Is Gonna Suck.

{{quote|''Warning: seismic disturbance detected. Nydus worm inbound.''

"Class 12 Psionic Life-form detected. The Queen of Blades has returned" }}

* ''[[Earthsong]]'': In order for Tristram to get Willow out safely, he has made a plan that involves him fighting the first hero who comes out, or misleading the first villain who does. [http://www.earthsongsaga.com/vol3/81.html Then comes] [[Eyes of Gold|Na]][[The Hero|na]][[All Your Powers Combined|shi]]. This is inches away from an [[Oh Crap]], but Tristram is actually ''more'' [[Determinator|confident]] than he's been in a while.

{{quote|'''Tristram:''' <small>''Anyone'' but ''her''.</small>}}

* ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]]''—When Bob and Jerry notice that the world-destroying bomb they've been fighting over has just started ''ticking:''

{{quote|'''Bob:''' (in tiny little letters) Oh gosh... That's not good...

* [[Charlie the Unicorn]] has taken to this as he grows [[Genre Savvy|increasingly used to]] his surroundings. If anything, it's pushed him even further toward [[The Woobie|Woobie]] territory.

* The version of ''[[Hellsing Abridged]]'' done by [[Team Four Star]] has Jan Valentine doing this. In his attempt to kill Integra and the rest of the council, he survives all of [[Night of the Living Mooks|his ghouls]] being wiped out, getting shot at with [[BFG|an anti-tank rifle]], and [[Battle Butler]] Walter [[An Arm and a Leg|ripping his arm off]] just to reach the boardroom where Integra and the council are meeting. He breaks open the door... to find all 12 member facing the doorway, guns ready. Surprisingly, instead of launching into one of [[Cluster F-Bomb|Cluster F Bombs]], he takes it calmly.

'''Integra:''' [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|I'm sorry, we don't give a]] [[Precision F-Strike|fuck]]. }}

* ''[[Leeroy Jenkins Video]]'': "Oh my god, he just ran in."

** Also, when Black Mask sees Red Hood training a rocket launcher on him.

{{quote|'''Black Mask''' [deadpan]: Oh, hell. }}

** Freakazoid had one of his own upon realizing he'd just accidentally reactivated a nuclear bomb.

{{quote|'''Freakazoid:''' Allow me to be the first to say 'ouch.'}}
