History Main / StayFrosty

* Occasionally used meaningfully in ''VideoGame/MechWarrior'' video games. Since OverHeating is a serious concern, most Mechwarriors really would prefer their rides run cool instead of hot. Very few do, however.

* In the ''[[SpaceGhostCoastToCoast Space Ghost]]: [[SpaceGhostCoastToCoast Coast to Coast]]'' episode "Snatch", [[InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers replicating pods]] have taken over the studio and are waiting for our heroes to fall asleep in order to take over their bodies. They cannot leave the studio because the planet has been coated by [[TheBlob the Blob]]. In the midst of this dilemma, Zorak comes up with an ingenious escape plan.

When "keep cool" just isn't awesome enough. This is a StockPhrase that a BadAss soldier will typically say to his troops right as it's all about to hit the fan. It's extra BadAss because it encourages others to be as BadAss as the speaker himself. More associated with modern warfare and {{Space Marine}}s than MilitaryTropes of the past.

* In the ''Series/FallingSkies'' episode, "Collateral Damage", Tom says this to Col. Weaver as they're going off to attack the nuclear power plant.

* Uttered by Jim Raynor in the original ''StarCraft''. Bonus points for the fact that the cutscene takes place on a [[SingleBiomePlanet Volcano Planet]].
** And again in the very first mission of [[{{StarCraft2}} 2]].

* Said at least twice by Kasumi Goto in ''MassEffect2''.

* Used by the Terran Republic announcer in PlanetSide 2.

* Used by the TErran Republic announcer in "PlanetSide" 2.

* One of the lines in ''CallOfDuty 4: ModernWarfare''. It comes during a sequence which borrows a lot of lines from ''{{Aliens}}'', making it a ShoutOut. Later used to the point of absurdity in ''Modern Warfare 2''.

-->-'''Corporal Hicks''', ''Film/{{Alien}}s''

* Probably made famous by Corporal Hicks in the movie ''[[{{Film/Alien}} Aliens]]''. It also makes perfect sense coming from him, as he does remain quite frosty under pressure (compare with Hudson & Gorman). He even ''falls asleep'' during the dropship ride to the surface.

* One of Ethreain the Lich's lines in "Dota 2".

* One of Ethreain the Lich's lines in Dota2.

* Said quite often by the Galactic Rangers in the third "Ratchet and Clank" game

* Also used a lot in ''TomClancy's GhostRecon: Advanced [[NounVerber Warfighter]]''.

* Henchman 21 asks "Texas," a future part of Venturestein, if he's staying frosty in the first-person-perspective intro to ''TheVentureBrothers'' episode "Viva Los Muertos!"

* The Cleaners in Max Payne 2 instruct each other to stay frosty while they're looking for you.

* ''{{MST3K}}'''s Joel Robinson would occasionally use this line, especially when confronted with [[ManosTheHandsOfFate a particularly bad movie]], or the villainous... ''Timmy''.

* ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|Reimagined}}'' ("Razor"). The "stay frosty" line is used by one of the {{Space Marine}}s boarding the Hybrid vessel; as his name is Hudson, it's likely a deliberate ShoutOut to ''[[{{Film/Alien}} Aliens]]''.

* Used several times in ''{{Starsiege}}'', most notably by Harabec Weathers. Becomes [[IncrediblyLamePun punny]] when he says it to his brother, Caanon "Icehawk" Weathers.

* In ''ResidentEvil 5'', the helicopter pilot Kirk says this after blowing the hell out of everything with a rocket launcher.

* Uttered frequently by Shinji Mimura in the manga of ''BattleRoyale'', particularly after [[spoiler:Kazuo Kiriyama splits open his stomach and his guts fall out.]] He often addresses his uncle, who taught him to stay cool.
