History Main / SlowNo

* In ''{{Thundercats 2001}}'' Lion-O performs one that coincides with a Futile Hand Reach upon seeing his father King Claudus stabbed In The Back, before a SlowMotionFall.

* Parodied to the max in ''GarthMarenghisDarkplace'', in which practically every dramatic / tragic moment in the series will be punctuated by someone - usually Rick Daglass - screaming "Nooooooo!!!" at the top of his lungs, in slow motion, for at least a full minute. Usually more than once.

* Night Owl's reaction to Rorschach death in the ''{{Watchmen}}'' movie.

* Accidentally done in the film preview in ''SingingInTheRain'', as the film got screwed up.
* A SlowNo occurs from Duke(Apollo's trainer) in Rocky III in which, near the end of the rematch, Balboa is making Clubber Lang angry enough to KO him; and another SlowNo from Duke in Rocky IV after [[spoiler: Apollo Creed was KO'ed (killed) by Ivan Drago in an exhibition match.]]
* Shrek 2: When Mongo, the giant gingerbread man, falls into the moat during the Storming The Castle sequence, both Shrek and Gingi do a SlowNo.

* In the RSC's version of ''{{Hamlet}}'' in ''{{The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged}}'', the scene where Hamlet kills Polonius involves Polonious, in 'slow motion', saying, "NOOOOOOO, iiiit wiiiill huuuurt, ow, Iiiii toooold yoooou."

* Principal Skinner of ''The Simpsons'' has done it more than once.
** Ex.: "Bart's Comet", "Lisa's Date With Destiny", "Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'Em"
* ''{{Undergrads}}'': Just before tea-tottler Nitz is about to take his first sip of alcohol, Rocko, his alcoholic best-friend (who has been having hallucinations about a giant whiskey bottle and decided to abstain), lunges at him with a long, drawn out "Nooooo!" in slow motion.

* [[spoiler: Zuko]] in AvatarTheLastAirbender when [[spoiler: Azula breaks the rules of their Agni Kai and aims a lightning shot at Katara, goading him into TakingTheBullet]].

* Hilariously parodied in TropicThunder: The penultimate scene has most of the characters' dialog in slow motion, including JackBlack screaming "myyyyyyy assssssssssssss!"

* {{iCarly}}: Spencer beautifully evokes a "NonLethalKO" version in ''iSaved Your Life'' during a paintball assassin game sub-plot, complete with SlowMotionFall and distorted voice effects.

* Parodied to the max in Garth Marenghis Dark Place, in which practically every dramatic / tragic moment in the series will be punctuated by someone - usually Rick Daglass - screaming "Nooooooo!!!" at the top of his lungs, in slow motion, for at least a full minute. Usually more than once.

* [[EightBitTheater Red Mage]] does this by casting slow and feather fall on himself for dramatic effect when Thief and BM talk about burning the Rat Tail they need to complete their side-quest. He overdoes it and gets stuck in mid air for several hours.

* A very funny SlowNo occurs in InvaderZim when a time-affected Dib is about to strike a similarly affected explosion.

* PlayedWith in ''TheMask'' in an attempt to modernize it: when a bomb is about to go off, everything goes into slow-mo, but rather than anyone giving a protracted and warped, "Nooooo!" it's a weird, echoing, ''"Get it!"''

Not to be confused with [[BulletTime Slow]] [[IncrediblyLamePun Mo]]. Can happen simultaneously with a SlowMotionFall.

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'': [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIAql1AfSSU Jake's reaction to a water drop.]]

-->-I want to ask you if there are any free rooms for one person, but my americano is very, very bad, so answer me very, very slow, okay?

* A guy just arrived in States and phones late in the night to a hotel:
-I want to ask you if there are any free rooms for one person, but my americano is very, very bad, so answer me very, very slow, okay?
-Nnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooo! - the receptionist answered

* [[HulkVs Deadpool's reaction]] to getting his gun and gun arm chopped up in SlowMotion:
-->'''Deadpool''': No! [[GoodThingYouCanHeal That was my]] [[CompletelyMissingThePoint favorite gun!]]

* {{Frasier}} provides a hilarious slow-motion example when he tries to stop his girlfriend Faye--whom he's been accidentally [[WrongNameOutburst calling by the name of his ex-girlfriend Cassandra]], explaining it as the name of a [[BlatantLies favorite aunt]]--from meeting the real Cassandra, exposing his deception. Tables are overturned, dishes are dropped, people are knocked over, and, of course, [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption it doesn't work]].

* A non-death version happens in StarTrekTheMotionPicture as Decker is forced to speak slowly thanks to [[PhebotinumBreakdown a failure in the warp drives]] trying to get Kirk to not order the firing of the phasers at an in-the-way asteroid (which he knows are offline). What does he say? "Nooooooooo! Beeeellllaaayyyy thhhhhhaaaaaatttt Phhhhaaaaasssseeeeeerrrrr ooooorrrrrrdddddeeeeerrrrr!"

!!Examples:

[[folder:Advertising]]
* Parodied in a commercial for Corn Pops, we see a box sitting on a ledge overlooking the San Francisco skyline, someone knocks it over, and tries to grab it before it falls, in slow motion along with the obligatory "Noooo!!!", only he fails, and the camera pulls back to show us that the ledge was only 3 feet off the ground of a hill overlooking the skyline. The man reaches down and retrieves the box.

* {{iCarly}}: Spencer beautifully evokes a "NonLethalKO" version in ''iSaved Your Life'' during a paintball assassin game sub-plot, complete with SlowMotionFall and distorted voice effects.
-->'''Spencer''': What's that, a lollipop?
-->'''Delivery Man''': Yeah, except from where I'm from, we don't call it a lollipop.
-->'''Spencer''': What do you call it?
-->'''Delivery Man''': '''[[PreMortemOneLiner SUCKER]]'''! (slaps Spencer and dives on the floor)
-->(Sam hangs upside down from the doorbeam, blowtube in her mouth ready for the "kill")
-->'''Spencer''': NOOOOOOOOOOO! (attempts to draw his blowtube but Sam strikes him with a headshot, claiming victory)
** Carly also evokes this in ''iBeat the Heat'' (again, with distorted vocal effects) when Sabrina blindly tramples on her model of an Utopian City ala Godzilla.

* In the ''{{SpongeBob SquarePants}}'' episode "Bubble Buddy," [=SpongeBob=] does the Big No when Squidward is about to pop the bubble with a needle. It goes into ridiculously slow motion, and he starts randomly messing with the vowel, making this a spoof as well.

* A very funny SlowNo occurs in InvaderZim when a time-affected Dib is about to strike a similarly affected explosion.

* Principal Skinner of ''{{The Simpsons]]'' has done it more than once.

* A very funny SlowNo occurs in InvaderZim when a time-effected Dib is about to strike a similarly affected explosion.

* Every BigNo that has ever occured in ''ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'' — and there are ''several'' — has been a SlowNo.
