History Main / CasualDangerDialogue

* ''Webcomic/TheWinxClubPlaysDungeonsAndDragons'': In the cover, Aisha, Musa, and Stella talk about how bored they are about fighting the MonsterOfTheWeek all of the time and the prospect of playing ''D&D''.

* Crack a joke or make a sarcastic comment about the danger.
* Crack a joke to get people's attention. (e.g. someone hanging from a cliff says "Hey guys? Over here!")
* [[IgnoredEnemy Argue or speak casually while the danger is going on]], usually about something tangential. Bonus points if the argument briefly stops for one of the heroes to shout "look out!" and then resumes shortly afterward. Points also awarded if a character in danger suddenly focuses on a complete non-sequitur to the action ("Your hair looks ''fantastic''!").
* Act as if the danger is real in their dialog, but speak calmly about it. See also ThisIsGonnaSuck and DangerDeadpan.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda Holiday Special'', the heroes discuss the upcoming Winter Festival while fighting off a group of bandits. The bandits even join in.

* Captain Al Haynes, while guiding a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_232 DC-10 with no flight controls]] approaching the Sioux City airport, even cracked a joke. When told he was cleared to land on any runway, he laughed and replied "You want to be particular and make it a runway, huh?" He did hit the runway, and 184 of 296 people on board survived. [[note]]If that seems like a large number of deaths, it should be noted that the only other incident involving a comparable failure ended with the plane crashing into a mountain and only four survivors.[[/note]]

* ''Characters/DeadpoolWadeWilson'': Deadpool, being a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, has weaponized his to the point that his enemies have problems focusing on the task at hand. It's occasionally contagious: when working with the ComicBook/XMen, he caused [[Characters/MarvelComicsBeast Beast]] [[GotMeDoingIt to spout off some bad puns]].

* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Peter Parker loves doing this. {{Depending on the writer}}, this is either a coping mechanism for fear (if he's cracking jokes, he's too distracted to be afraid) or boredom (he fights by instinct and thinks so quickly, battles might as well be in slow-motion, giving his upper thought processes spare energy to devote to a running commentary). Spidey, and thus the fans, refer to this type of dialogue as [[YouFightLikeACow "quipping"]].

* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'': In the storyline ''ComicBook/WayOfTheWorld'', ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} is asking Characters/{{Wonder Woman|TheCharacter}} advice on how to help a little boy as both heroines are stopping a gang of bank robbers (whom they are barely paying attention to).

** Happens at least once between [[Characters/TheMightyThorThorOdinson Thor]] and [[Characters/MarvelComicsAsgardians Lady Sif]] in ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'', with her commenting that everything was under control and him asking with a grin if that was the reason everything was on fire. Plus:

** In the ''Film/IronMan'' movies, [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]] is incapable of ''not'' saying sarcastically inappropriate things in the middle of life-threatening situations.

* Can anyone say ''WesternAnimation/{{Teen Titans|2003}}''?

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'':

'''Luke Cage:''' Uh, yes, actually.\\
'''Iron Fist:''' Yeah, I didn't know there was banter involved. I don't do banter.\\

* Remo Williams and Chiun of the ''Literature/{{Destroyer}}'' book series (to some extent, the movie as well) may be the most extreme example. Their combat arguments regarding Ung poetry, Remo's alleged unconscious seduction of flight attendants, who left the toilet seat up (all right, not that one, but they ''have'' covered toilets in more general terms), and suchlike are used to show that a few hundred soldiers firing assault rifles at them are barely worth paying attention to, let alone commenting on. If the threat's a yawner like the average Bond-style Dragon trying to repeatedly shoot, stab, poison, or bomb them, the authors sometimes (when writing from the attacker's perspective) don't even bother ''writing explicit lines of dialogue'' for the two, just to emphasize the disconnect and the frustration that an experienced, professional killer feels trying repeatedly to kill people who apparently don't even notice that they're being attacked.

* ''Series/{{Castle}}'':

** It's well established throughout the series Hawkeye, at least, delivers wisecracks to prevent himself from cracking up due to the madness of the war, and he also is trying to keep up everyone else's morale. SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome occurs, as eleven... three years of trauma (and uncovering childhood trauma) takes their toll and he ends up in an asylum making jokes that are far more bitter and alienate everyone.

* In ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'', Michelangelo and Donatello workshop combat-related one-liners while fighting the Foot Clan horde in the street.

->'''[[Comicbook/{{Hawkeye}} Ronin]]:''' Yo, Cage, do they always talk this much during a fight?\\

** Taken to new heights in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', which is to be expected when you get [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy three]] [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries different]] [[Film/SpiderManHomecomingTrilogy incarnations]] of Franchise/SpiderMan teaming up together.

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' is full of this. This is expected, as the whole show's purpose is to partner Batman with one or more heroes in every single episode. The most hilarious situations often involve ComicBook/GreenArrow, Comicbook/{{Aquaman}}, and the ComicBook/BlueBeetle (both Jaime and Ted).

* In the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' fanfic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/33911125 Designated Duty]]'', Natasha and Sharon have a system where whenever they go out for a night of fun, one of them deals with the various people trying to kill them while the other fas fun. When Wanda accompanies them one night, which leads into a car chase, she is surprised by Natasha nonchalantly singing along to the song playing the car radio and offering her a drink from a flask while Sharon deals with the assassins.
