{{quote|''{{smallcaps|Okay, look. We both said a lot of things that [[Implied Death Threat|you're going to regret]]. But I think we can put our differences behind us. [[For Science!|For science]]. You monster.}}''|'''GLaDOS''', [[Portal 2 (Video Game)|Portal 2]]}}

** ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha As (Anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha As]]'' In the second season, it's the "[[Anti-Villain|villains]]" who refer to the eponymous heroine as a demon (after she shrugs off enough magical punishment to kill a lesser being 20 times over, no less). Her reaction? See that page's opening quote.

** In the third season ''[[Striker S (Anime)|Striker S]]'', Dieci wonders if Nanoha is human after being quickly defeated and seeing the amount of power Nanoha had at the start of the battle -- ironic, seeing how she is one of the few mages of her level who actually ''are''.

* Played with in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh]]'', where Yugi says that he won't call an enemy a monster, since that would be an [[Insult to Rocks|insult to the game's monster cards]].

* ''[[Dragonball]]'': Possibly the most often-quoted dialogue exchange in the saga comes from the eighth Z movie, ''Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan'', though it is more of a variation, wherein Broly verbally upgrades himself. To recap, the titular villain is completely curbstomping the heroes and has just roughed up Gohan, when Piccolo shows up. The dialogue is usually translated along these lines:

* From the first episode of ''[[Tenchi Muyo]]'', during the title character's fight with Ryoko:

* ''[[Beauty and The Beast (Disney)|Beauty and The Beast]]'': This little exchange;

* In the live-action ''[[Super Mario Bros]]'' movie, Daisy says this to Koopa in the form of "You murderer!" out of blame towards him for seeing to her mother's death and turning her father into fungus.

* ''[[Supernatural (TV)|Supernatural]]'': In 5.22 "Swan Song", [[Archangel Michael|Michael]] has this retort to [[Archangel Lucifer|Lucifer]] when his younger brother tries to persuade him to join him one last time.

* Belle in the stage version of [[Disney]]'s ''[[Beauty and The Beast (Disney)|Beauty and The Beast]]'' during the song "Home":

* ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3]]'': EVA says this to Volgin {{spoiler|during his torture of Sokolov.}}

* ''[[The Witcher (Video Game)|The Witcher]]'': The [[Big Bad]] accidentally does this to himself. In response to Geralt preparing to kill him with his silver, beast-killing sword (having been disarmed of his steel human fighting one), he utters "That sword is for monsters!" Geralt's response is pretty much a silent "Yeah, I'll let you puzzle it out Sherlock", as he stabs him through the chest.

* ''[[Castlevania Symphony of the Night]]'': "Die, monster! You don't belong in this world!"

* ''[[The World Ends With You (Video Game)|The World Ends With You]]'': Neku says this to {{spoiler|Joshua}} after the latter's {{spoiler|identity as the [[God|Composer]] and plan to destroy Shibuya}} are revealed.

* ''[[Portal 2 (Video Game)|Portal 2]]'': "I think we can put our differences behind us. [[For Science!|For science]]. [[You Monster!|You monster.]]" For bonus points, the Achievement for this scene is ''named'' "You Monster".

* ''[[Dragonball|Dragon Ball Z Raging Blast]]'' - Goku to Frieza in story mode, once he snaps and starts going SSJ.

* Beautifully lampshaded in ''[[Supreme Commander (Video Game)|Supreme Commander]] 2''. Gage, the game's resident [[Big Bad]], has just [[Nuke'Em|nuked a city]]. The player character utters the phrase, and Gage responds with this:

* In ''[[Fire Emblem the Sacred Stones (Video Game)|Fire Emblem the Sacred Stones]]'', one of Frelia's [[Red Shirt|red shirts]], having been cut down by [[Affably Evil|Caellach]] ([[Four-Star Badass|one of Grado's six top-ranking generals]]), calls his killer a monster. Caellach's response?

* Baiken's win quote against Order-Sol in ''[[Guilty Gear (Video Game)|Guilty Gear]]''.

* In ''[[The Reconstruction (Video Game)|The Reconstruction]]'', this is Dehl's response to learning that {{spoiler|Havan tortured Donz to death.}}

* In ''[[Legacy of Kain (Video Game)|Legacy of Kain]]'', Kain gets called this by Vorador after he {{spoiler|kills Umah in cold blood}}. Kain responds (possibly correctly) that Vorador would have done the same in his place, but the incident is still shocking because it was starting to look as if [[Villain Protagonist|Kain]] might have found a [[Morality Pet]].

* Bishop Doplin of ''[[Legend of Legaia (Video Game)|Legaia II: Duel Saga]]'' gets called "garbage" and a "truly evil person". {{spoiler|After you defeat Elliot and Marienne for the final time, the party confronts Doplin in order to obtain the [[Cosmic Keystone|Pyro]][[MacGuffin|lith]]}}. After he learns {{spoiler|the duo is dead}}, he remarks that he never cared about them, and was just using them for their power. The party goes ballistic on hearing this, and call him out for it.

* An amusing variation in ''4 Swords Misadventures'', when the heroes encounter [[The Legend of Zelda Four Swords Adventures (Video Game)|Dark Link]]:

* ''[[Count Duckula (Animation)|Count Duckula]]'' episode "The Great Ducktective"

* ''[[Gargoyles (Animation)|Gargoyles]]'', episode "City of Stone: Part 3"

* ''[[Family Guy (Animation)|Family Guy]]''

* ''[[The Simpsons (Animation)|The Simpsons]]'': In "Who Shot Mr. Burns", when Burns {{spoiler|steals a well of oil from Springfield Elementary, this destroys the old folks' home, gets Moe's bar closed down and causes Bart's pet dog to be badly injured. He later [[Moral Event Horizon|begins a project to block sunlight from reaching Springfield, as a means of maintaining his monopoly over local heat and light]]. When a town hall meeting is called about this project, people are discussing their various grievances against Burns, who just so happens to come in right when Bart is talking about his injured pet dog}}:

* Played for laughs in ''[[Transformers Animated|Transformers: Animated]]''. [[Neutral No Longer|Scrapper]] uses the exact words to call out ''[[Token Mini-Moe|Sari]]'' after [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|she smacks the slag out of him and Mixmaster using some heavy industrial equipment.]]

* ''[[Darkwing Duck (Animation)|Darkwing Duck]]'': Towards the end of the pilot, Gosalyn (not yet his daughter) is held hostage and essentially tossed off the top of Saint Canard's tallest building, rescued when Darkwing gives the [[Big Bad]] what he wants. In exchange, Taurus Bulba declares that Gosalyn has [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|outlived her usefulness]], has her raised even higher, and drops her. Darkwing's answer? 'You butcher!', a cheap shot, and Bulba being worried for the first time in his criminal career.

* A flashback on ''[[X Men Evolution]]'' showed a castle, Mystique's voice screaming "Monster! What have you done to him?" and Mystique running out of the castle with an infant Nightcrawler in her arms with Magneto in pursuit. It's hinted that Magneto is somehow responsible for Kurt's fuzzy blue appearance. Or maybe he just circumcised him.

* In ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 (Animation)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward]]'', Leonardo, while going to stop Baxter Stockman from transplanting Bishop's brain into himself, explains the true meaning of being a monster as well as the differences between a monster and a man, and asks him whether he was either one and whether he would like to use his power to create or destroy.

* The ''[[Phineas and Ferb (Animation)|Phineas and Ferb]]'' episode "The Beak" has this, after the villain drops water on the people of Danville:

* On ''[[Jimmy Two Shoes]]'', Lucius calls Jimmy a monster...because he's [[Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad|nice and kind and helpful]].

* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants (Animation)|SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' says this in Patrick's imagination in "Donut of Shame" when Spongebob steps on the donut Patrick stole from him.

* ''[[American Dad (Animation)|American Dad]]'': Steve calls Stan this after Roger appears to die and Stan callously asks Steve to burn all evidence of Roger's existence.
