--> ...To the Cannibal Town, where they don't wear a frown
--> 'Cause holy shit, oh my gosh, WHYY?!

* The ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'' episode "Spaceman Sonic" gives us this [[MemeticMutation infamous]] quote from [[EvilIsHammy Dr. Robotnik]] as he yells at his minions. "WHY is my precious rocket ship drifting off into deep space?! WHY am I reaching you at the coordinates of the abandoned space station?! WHY?! WHY?! WHY?!"

* After [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Plauch%C3%A9 Gary Plauché]] shot his son's kidnapper and rapist in the head as he was being escorted through Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport in 1984, the officers who immediately restrained Plauché began crying out "Why? WHY, GARY? WHY?!" [[PapaWolf One could presume they were asking rhetorically.]]

-->-- '''Johnny''', ''Film/TheRoom''

* Denny at the end of ''Film/TheRoom'' while [[spoiler:mourning over Johnny's body after he commits suicide]].

Not to be confused with the regional[[note]]Mainly Massachusetts, and Connecticut.[[/note]] supermarket chain "Big Y". Or ''WesternAnimation/SuperWhy''.

* This was practically Kenan's CatchPhrase on ''Series/KenanAndKel'', used whenever one of their schemes goes pear-shaped. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1geHuoc7_8 As seen here,]] it's sometimes used by the other characters as well.

* A CatchPhrase for Captain Binghamton on ''Series/McHalesNavy'' -- "Why me?!? Why is it always, me?!?"

* ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'' makes this into a CatchPhrase for the eternally unlucky, put-upon Kanbe. Anytime life conspires to screw with him ([[ButtMonkey which is often]]) you'll hear him shouting "WHYYY?" at the sky. Rendered in Japanese as "NAZE JAAAA?"

* ''LightNovel/ScrappedPrincess''. Raquel has a heartbreaking one, near the end, when [[spoiler: Pacifica dies, despite her attempts to save her.]] It's preceded by a LittleNo before she breaks down and screams at the heavens.

* In ''WebAnimation/{{Alphabet}}'', Y ([[{{Pun}} of course]]) does this upon finding [[spoiler:X's dead body]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/BirthdayBreakfast'', Lincoln says, "Whyyyyyy?" when the twins fight on their birthday because he thinks he's failed at making them happy. He's wrong--- they ''like'' to fight.

--> '''Brenda''': ''[impersonating Natalie's whimpering]'' Whyyy? Whyyy? (finally in anger)'''''WHYYYYY'''''? Still haven't figured it out, have you?

--> '''Brenda''': ''[impersonating Natalie's whimpering]'' Whyyy? Whyyy? ''WHYYYYY''? Still haven't figured it out, have you?

* The Music/{{Queen}} song "Under Pressure" features Freddie Mercury screaming the word "Why" [[IncrediblyLongNote for an absurdly long time]].

--> '''Brenda''': ''[impersonating Natalie's whimpering]'' Whyyy? Whyyy? ''WHY''? Still haven't figured it out, have you?

* ''Anime/CrossAnge'': This is the reaction Rosalie has [[spoiler:when her ex, Chris, coldly killed one of her (Rosalie's) younger charges. After Marika, said charge, is [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe sheared in half by a massive sword]] and incinerated in the explosion of her Paramail, Rosalie immediately flies into an UnstoppableRage as she attempts to avenge her by killing Chris]].

-->'''Rosalie:''' [[spoiler:Marika...]] NOOOOOOOOOOOO! [[ThisIsUnforgivable How could you?!]] [[spoiler:'''''CHRIS,''''']] '''''WHYYYYYYYYYYY?!!'''''
