History Main / ImNotDoingThatAgain

->''"Cyrene? 'Ow am I s'posed ta work on [[DeathWorld dat burny chunk 'o soot]]? It ain't like I can hides in da lava! Mork knows, [[NoodleIncident I ain't tryin' DAT trick again]]."''

A stock phrase used after the hero has done some daring do that obviously was very painful and/or taxing. In saying this, the Hero is acknowledging that he is not open to repeating the experience as he tries to recover.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGobots'' episode "Et Tu, Cy-Kill?", Leader-1 ends up having to fly in jet mode, at jet speeds, through a huge corridor filled with stone columns, dodging all of them. Afterward he [[TransformingMecha transforms]], falls to his knees, and says, "I couldn't do that twice."

* ''Film/MortalKombat'': Johnny Cage has a bad day during filming because the stuntmen kept screwing things up and didn't want to redo the scene again.

* ''Webcomic/GoblinHollow'': A teleportation incident [[http://www.rhjunior.com/GH/00169.html here]].

** And when the Flash finally [[IAmNotLeftHanded hits top speed]] to defeat the BigBad and the rest of the WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague pulls him from the brink, we get the line on the Quotes page. Earlier in the same episode, this is his reaction to the way he took out his evil, Braniac-generated doppelganger (punching through its chest and vibrating until it exploded, knocking him for a loop in the process).

** Strong Bad says this in the WebAnimation/StrongBadEmail "the chair" after he removes his mask to prove that it is, in fact, his face, and that there's nothing but bone, muscle, and veins beneath it. Naturally, he does this while sitting in a high-backed chair, so the audience only sees a tiny, tiny sliver and hears the screaming.

* ''Series/{{Grimm}}'': In order to draw out a rampaging Golem, Nick has to threaten the person it's protecting: a child named David. After the Golem is defeated, a weary Nick mutters, "I'm never yelling at a kid again..."

* In a "Frogger" episode on ''WesternAnimation/SaturdaySupercade'', Frogger used his tongue to prevent a fatal accident. Unfortunately, the only thing he can latch onto is a cactus and, afterward, his tongue is painfully perforated with cactus needles. Cue trope title.

* In ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanOnStrangerTides'', [[CrazyAwesome Jack Sparrow]]'s response to blowing up a lighthouse (and nearly himself) is "Did everyone see that? Because I will NOT be doing it again!"

* After escaping a big flying station that decided it didn't want to fly anymore in "Episode 3: Backdoor" of ''VideoGame/Code7'', Raven has no desire to repeat that experience. [[CheerfulAI META]], meanwhile, of course found it very exciting.
