{{trope}}
A stock phrase used when one character welcomes another (whether as a threat, sarcastically, or otherwise) to some kind of bad situation. For example, a cop welcoming the new guy to the precinct (a la ''[[Robo CopRoboCop]]'') or a villain threatening the hero (sometimes with a ''literal'' hell).
 
Often used to describe [[That One Level]]. Compare [[See You in Hell]].

* ''[[ER]]'' episode "Doctor Carter, I Presume"
{{quote| '''Dr. Melvoin:''' ''[to a fresh group of interns]'' You are wedges. The wedge is the most primitive tool known to man. That is you. You think you know what you're doing, believe me, you don't. Breakfast with your Senior Surgical Resident Dr. Benton will begin in 15 minutes. Dr. Benton is an intern's worst nightmare. He's smarter than you, he never eats, he never sleeps and he reads every medical journal no matter how obscure. He is the Antichrist. Beelzebub. Lucifer. A devourer of wedges. You will go to sleep at night wishing plague and pestilence on his unborn children and you will wake up every morning praying for his approval. You won't get it. Welcome to hell, ladies and gentlemen.}}

* In ''[[Scrubs]]'', Turk does this to some visiting interns. JD also compares Dr. Kelso to the devil (calling him a [[Devil in Plain Sight]] when he gives his "I want you to think of me as your safety net" speech to them as he did in the pilot).
* The writing on the door of the Sanctuary Base in the episode "The Impossible Planet" in ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]''.
* The title character of [[Angel]] says this to the villain in the episode ''Hellbound'' after trapping him, immortal and paralyzed, in a tiny room (the irony being that the villain's motive was to avoid the more literal Hell, something [[Be Careful What You Wish For|he doesn't have to worry about anymore]]).
 
 
== Live Comedy ==
Line 64 ⟶ 65:
 
== Music ==
* ''[[Food for Thethe Gods|Welcome to my Realm]]'' by Fireaxe. Interesting in that it is actually sung by the devil as he is literally welcoming people into Hell. And using the screams of the damned as backup vocals.
 
 
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
* The reaction to the [[Pointy-Haired Boss]] in ''[[Dilbert]]'' when he cracks down on employees taking [[You Fail Statistics Forever|40%]] of their sick time on Monday and Friday.

'''Inspector 'Tequila' Yuen:''' That's right.<br />
'''Vladimir Zakarov:''' And that you'd walk through hell to get them. Is that right too?<br />
'''Tequila:''' ''[nods]''<br />
'''Vladimir Zakarov:''' Welcome to hell. }}
* Appears on a sign before the [[Bonus Dungeon]] in ''[[Cave Story (Video Game)|Cave Story]]''. [[Nintendo Hard|Good luck!]]
* Hell Temple in ''[[La-Mulana]]'' has a welcoming tablet, which reminds the player: "This is Hell Temple. Hell Temple is hell!"
* ''[[Action 52]]'': "[[Schmuck Bait|Make your selection ... now.]]"
* The Penguin says this word for word when Batman enters [[Bad Guy Bar|The Iceberg Lounge]] in ''[[Batman: Arkham City]]''.
* In ''[[Monster Party]]'', [[The Grim Reaper]] says "Welcome! Entrance to Hell."
* ''[[Modern Warfare 3]]'' has {{spoiler|Makarov}} declare to Captain Price that "hell awaits you" as the first sign that the {{spoiler|assassination mission on him}} has gone horribly wrong, especially as he wasn't even supposed to know that Price and the player's team were there. It's also a clever [[Call Back]] to the second game, where Price had told him [[See You in Hell]].
Line 94 ⟶ 96:
 
== Web Original ==
* [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|The Angry Video Game Nerd]], review of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]. 3'': "This part doesn't fuck around! It's like, you got to the end, you dare to play, welcome to Hell!"
