* Count Batula in ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'' lets out a [[PrecisionFStrike "Shit"]] while falling in his own [[HoistByHisOwnPetard meat grinder]].
* PlayedStraight initially but then {{subverted|Trope}} later in the prologue of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening''. When defeated by [[TheHero Chrom]] and [[{{Deuteragonist}} The Avatar/Robin]], Validar shouts: "This isn't over..DAMN YOU BOTH!". It's subverted because later when you get to the actual level, [[spoiler: he's revealed to survive the attack and afterwards is fought for real. When he is finally beaten, he [[ThisCannotBe expresses surprise at fate being averted]].]]
** ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Fire Emblem Echoes]]'', however, plays it straight with the Bandit {{Mooks}} sometimes saying "DAMN YOU!" as they die.

Related to SeeYouInHell; the trope can be used as this when used by a dying person. May involve CurseCutShort due to being KilledMidSentence. Being a DeathTrope, there could be some unmarked spoilers ahead, so be careful. Compare DyingCurse when the curse words are actually a {{Curse}} rather than profanity. Compare also DyingDeclarationOfHate.

Then, as everyone sat quietly around him, a nurse pricked him with a needle, and he said his actual last words: “Ow, fuck!".
