{{trope}}
{{quote|"...you fall down and ''[[Large Ham|BLEEEED]] to death!''"
|'''Every hostile NPC''', ''[[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion]]''}}
Used by [[Genre Savvy]] characters to point out that, [[This Is Reality|if this were a movie]], a trope would be coming into play right about now, or just to show how well they know the other character(s) in the scene. Sometimes, but not always, they are proven right. A type of [[Lampshade Hanging]] and frequently a case of [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]. Sometimes ends up with the characters being [[Wrong Genre Savvy]] or being wrong in some other way.
Line 7 ⟶ 8:

{{examples|This is the part where you add examples.}}
== [[Anime]] & [[Manga]] ==
* When Rei's grandfather is turned into a Youma and attacks her, she states something akin to "[["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight|This is the part where he recognizes me]]" while being choked by him. She's wrong and [[Sailor Moon]] has to bail her out.
Line 16:
== [[Comics]] ==
* ''[[PS238]]'': "I suppose this is the point where I tell you that you won't get away with this?"
== [[Fan Works]] ===
* In chapter 2 of ''[[Drunkard's Walk|Drunkard's Walk S]]'', Doug is giving [[Sailor Moon|Usagi Tsukino]] her first martial arts lesson, and tells her they're starting with one of the hardest lessons in any martial art -- falling. When she just stands there expectantly, he leans forward and says, "This is where the student traditionally says, 'But sensei, there's nothing hard about falling.'" (When she does, he grins and replies, "Sure there is! It's called 'the ground'!")
== [[Film]] ==
Line 41 ⟶ 44:
== Literature ==
* In the ''[[Star Trek]]'' novel [[Star Trek: Hollow Men|''Hollow Men'']], minor villain Mexh Brixhta is intercepted by two members of [[State Sec|Section 31]]. Preparing to flee, he suggests that this is the point [[Villain Exit Stage Left|where he makes an unlikely but dramatic escape]]. Unfortunately for him, it isn’t.
* In the ''[[Dresden Files]]'', after being told Thomas is actually his brother, he says "No, wait, this is the part where you say [[Genre Savvy|"Look deeply into your heart. You know it to be true,"]] right?
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
Line 51 ⟶ 54:
* ''[[Malcolm in the Middle]]'': "This is where something good happens...finally"
* Sylar in ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'': "This is usually the part where people start screaming."
** Not so much [[Genre Savvy]] in this case, more based on experience with having killed
* ''[[Foyle's War]]'', episode "Bleak Midwinter": "Is this the bit where I'm supposed to say I [[Cut Himself Shaving|cut myself shaving]]?"
** ''[[CSI New York]]'' uses this one too.
Line 62 ⟶ 65:
* Used by President Bartlet in ''[[The West Wing]]'' when he's had his fill of his electoral opponent's lowbrow snottiness:
{{quote|'''Bartlet''': In the future, if you're wondering, 'Crime, boy, I don't know' is when I decided to kick your ass.}}
** Also on ''[[The West Wing]]'':
{{quote|'''Josh''': Look, its not going to be a big deal...
'''Donna''': Isn't that what we always say, just before it becomes a big deal? }}
Line 71 ⟶ 74:
== [[Music]] ==
* The whole point of the ''[[Hannah Montana]]'' song "If We Were a Movie".
* "The Song That Goes Like This" from ''Spamalot''▼
* The song "I Hate this Part" by the Pussycat Dolls.
** "I know this is the part where the end starts..."
Line 79 ⟶ 81:
* "The Grunge Song" by Radio Free Vestibule has a lot of fun with this.
* "Please Play This Song on the Radio" by NOFX.
''(oooh aaah)
''But that's okay, because the chorus is
''Coming up again now.}}
* "Gotta Sing High" by Kenny White.
* "This Is The Chorus" by Morris Minor and the Majors.
Line 85 ⟶ 90:
* "My Defiance" by Comet Gain ends each verse with "Here comes the chorus now!"
* "#1 Radio $ingle" by Psychostick is an entire song of this trope. "This is the part of the song where I talk about emotions / And this is the part of the song where I sing about how I feel so cold inside / And this is where, my producer told me / to say yeah".
== Theater ==
▲* "The Song That Goes Like This" from ''[[Spamalot]]''
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls
** Sometimes not even if the battle drags on, this speech is declared acceptable by the game's coding for use a war cry, therefore there are some enemies in the game who believe that their
** And more often than not, the line will be spoken seconds before exactly that happens to the hostile NPC. Hilarious the first couple of times.
*** "This is the part when you fall down and- HURK"
*** Similarly there is "I've fought mud crabs more fearsome than you!" which when cut in half is somewhat less impressive.
*** Or some really dangerous mud crabs are [[Nightmare Fuel|walking around the countryside invisible.]]
* Paine occasionally starts a battle in ''[[Final Fantasy X]]-2'' by saying "This is the part where you get hurt."
* In the concluding video of ''[[Zork: Grand Inquisitor]]'', Jack catches a falling Lucy and starts babbling, prompting her response: "Shh. This is the part where we kiss." Also qualifies as a [["Shut Up" Kiss]].
* In ''[[Uncharted]] 2: Among Thieves'':
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Flynn''': ''(to Elena)'' "Sorry love, this isn't a movie, and you're not the plucky girl who reforms the villain and saves the day. It's just not done like that." ''(primes hand grenade)''}}}}

* [[Ratchet and Clank|"Alright, this is the part where you take out the henchmen, then chase Maxmillion out of the bar! Try to make it look real, alright? ACTION!"]]
* [[Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions]]:
