* ''Series/{{Angel}}'':
** In "[[Recap/AngelS05E07Lineage Lineage]]", Wesley shot his father the moment dad began threatening Fred. Repeatedly. Though it may not have been an example of this trope, [[BerserkButton as his decision to shoot is so instantaneous]] Roger could have just meant to stop talking at that point.

* Happens in the ''Series/BreakoutKings'' episode "There Are Rules", when the white-collar criminal who masterminded the [[OncePerEpisode prison break of the week]] pulls a gun on his relatively violence-oriented accomplice, and the latter tries to HannibalLecture him:
-->"...you got a problem, Ronald. You got nobody to pull that trigger for you. This is a job you can't delegate. You gotta actually dirty your hands for once, and we both know that--" BLAM

** The last words of Juliet: "I have to tell you something, it's really really important..." Luckily, [[ISeeDeadPeople Miles]] is there to relay what she intended to say.

Averted when the woman freezes time an instant before their (presumed) deaths.
* During an assault on an enclave of Russian partisans in ''[[Series/UnsereMuetterUnsereVaeter Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter]]'', Schmidt is shot while making a quip to the effect of "Maybe they're phoning Comrade Stalin for hel-". It takes him a while to die but, having been shot in the neck, he's in no state to speak.

** Bob Lamson, a corrupt police officer, is [[CarFu run over by Rick Grimes in a police car]] and shot.

Only seeing one of two robbers, he gets him to drop his weapon, gets him on the floor, and then says the kid was smart, because he's Secret Serv--
** Actually, it didn't quite happen that way. They first screwed the audience (who reacted angrily, partly because it was unrealistic-- Secret Service personnel wear bulletproof vests and he hadn't had time to take his off) into thinking he might actually, improbably get away with it because he ''does'' survive the tempting fate line about being Secret Service. Afterwards, when he's safe, he jokes to the clerk that he hates to be a problem customer, but if he doesn't get a Milky Way bar pretty soo--
