* Actually occurs in GeoffreyChaucer's ''Troilus and Criseyde'' (Criseyde's Dear John letter, after she has dumped him for Diomede), making this trope at least OlderThanPrint.
[[AC:LiveActionTelevision]]
* One ''{{Seinfeld}}'' episode begins with Elaine telling Jerry how she broke up with this guy using this line- and he was actually OK with it. He ''wants'' to be friends with her [[spoiler:until the end of the episode]], and acts nice accordingly. She's puzzled by this attitude, even though as Jerry notes, their friendship started the exact same way.
* Spike in ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' is devastated when Drusilla dumps him for a demon and says they can "still be friends". As he sobs to Buffy, "How could she be so cruel? She didn't even set me on fire!"
** Saw that episode right after a bad breakup that ended with that line. Couldn't stop laughing.
* Naomi tries this very line with Emily in ''{{Skins}}'' (not because she doesn't want their relationship, but because she's terrified of it); Emily's response is "we say that, don't we?". It lasts all of about twenty seconds before Emily breaks her defences down with the Armor Piercing "I'll miss you."
[[AC:{{Music}}]]
* The song "Can't We Be Friends?"
* Also, [[{{Vocaloid}} Just Be Friends]].
[[AC:NewspaperComics]]
* In ''{{Dilbert}}'', a woman says this line to the title character. Disappointed that he simply agrees, with no emotional reaction, she progressively ups the ante, first to "friends with other people. You and I would just be acquaintances," then to acquaintances that couldn't actually become friends, like "my ex-butler whom I fired for stealing stuff." When this still fails to get a reaction beyond "Okay," the woman wonders to herself what's going on, while Dilbert thinks, "Good, it seems the window of opportunity is still slightly open."

* ''SluggyFreelance'' has Torg and Zoe's attempt at dating end with Zoe deciding they should just stick to being friends (a deranged, trained assassin StalkerWithACrush showing up to kidnap Torg had a lot to do with that, though).
* In ''{{Misfile}}'', Emily goes on a date with someone in Cape Cod. He gives her the "let's just be friends" speech at the end, saying that he noticed that she wasn't really interested in him. But then he reveals that [[spoiler: he thinks he's gay, or at least he's fallen for his male friend]]. Emily tells him that [[spoiler: she thinks she's fallen for her (currently female) friend Ash, too]].
* In ''{{Homestuck}}'' (or more accurately ''Hivebent''), Feferi to Eridan after he [[CannotSpitItOut finally spits it out]] upon their entrance to the Medium.
[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* In ''[[WallaceAndGromit The Curse of the Were-Rabbit]]'', Lady Tottington asks Wallace if they can "part as friends" after Wallace fails to catch the Were-Rabbit. He's actually [[spoiler: turning into the Were-Rabbit at that exact moment]] and tries to shut the door in her face. She doesn't take it very well.
