History Main / VerbThis

-->'''Unbidden:''' ...understand... this... you are food...

-->'''Buffy''': So then she's like, 'It's share-time.' And I'm like, 'Oh yeah? Share ''this''!' [mimes some incredibly bad (especially for Buffy) face-punching]\\
-->'''Oz''': So either you hit her, or did your crazy mime routine.
* From the first episode of ''Series/NYPDBlue'': "Ipso ''this'', you prissy little bitch!"
* ''Series/PowerRangersSPD,'' against a mirror-themed villain: "Reflect on ''this!''" [White Ranger smashes mirror, releasing trapped Rangers]
* ''Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive'' has this exchange between Blue Ranger Dax, Red Ranger Mack, and the MonsterOfTheWeek in "Lights, Camera, Dax":
-->'''Dax:''' Thanks, Mack!\\
'''Mack:''' I'll cover you!\\
'''Scaletex:''' Cover this!

** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E4TheTimeOfAngels "The Time of Angels"]], an image that holds a weeping angel becomes itself an angel, [[spoiler:and the one in the TV is starting to attack]]. Cue Amy's "hold this" along with the most epic use of a pause button ever.
** The Doctor himself had already done it in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E4TheSontaranStratagem "The Sontaran Stratagem"]], shortly before bouncing a shuttlecock off a wall into a Sontaran's weak spot.
--->'''General Stall:''' We stare into the face of death!\\

** Also done by Captain Jack in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd "Journey's End"]], after a Dalek makes some comment about not feeling anything.
--->'''Jack:''' Feel ''this''. (''repeatedly shoots the Dalek, to no effect'')\\
(''later, once Jack has got himself a better gun'')\\
'''Jack:''' As I think I said before... FEEL THIS! (''BOOM!'')
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E6TheAgeOfSteel "The Age of Steel"]]: "Upgrade this!"
* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' has a subversion:
-->'''Turk:''' That was a finder's fee!\\
'''J.D.:''' Oh yeah? Well, find ''this''!\\
''*beat*''\\
'''Carla:''' You know you're supposed to grab your crotch when you say that.\\
'''J.D.:''' Wouldn't that hurt?
* Played straight by Londo in ''Series/BabylonFive'':
-->''Centauri Bureaucrat:'' I'll be in touch. *ends call*\\
'''Londo:''' Touch ''this''. ''(He pokes himself in the ribs, where Centauri males keep their six... well, you know, implying the equivalent of the crotch-presentation gesture mentioned in the synopsis.)''

* ''Series/BreakingBad'':
** Walter White tends to use this when enraged. When quitting his job at the car wash, he tears several products off of the shelves, grabs his crotch, and shouts, "WIPE DOWN THIS!" before storming out.
** In a later episode, he also shouts, while grabbing his crotch again, "I'VE GOT YOUR RESTRAINING ORDER RIGHT HERE! RESTRAIN THIS!"
* ''Series/{{Friends}}'': Happens when Joey's soap character is killed off when, in an interview, he insults the writers and claims he writes his own lines.
-->'''Writer:''' Yeah, well, write ''this'', jerkweed!
* In an episode of ''Series/{{The Suite Life of Zack and Cody}}'', the Tipton staff and the boys are seen practising for the bowling tournament against the Saint-Marc hotel staff, and happen to run into their rivals in the bowling alley. When their enemy's brutal member throws a strike and is rewarded with a schnitzel, Zack replies "Oh yeah? Schnitzel this" as it is his turn.
** And in its spinoff ''The Suite Life On Deck'', Bailey does this to London when the latter embarrasses the former on her webshow.
-->'''London:''' I don't understand your crazy robot talk.
-->'''Bailey:''' Understand this!
-->''(Bailey breaks the camera and leaves in a huff)''

* ''ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}}'': While kicking ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} ComicBook/KarateKid yells:

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Ducktales}}'' TV movie (and later five-part episode) "Super Ducktales", the Beagle Boys do this to Fenton when he first confronts them as Gizmoduck.

* ''{{Comicbook/Shadowland}}'' had a huge fight with {{Comicbook/Daredevil}}, Comicbook/ShangChi, Comicbook/IronFist, Misty Knight and Colleen Wing, {{Comocbook/Wolverine}}, ninjas, and all sorts of assorted hand-to-hand and melee fighting. The whole thing is put to a stop by Comicbook/ThePunisher, who blows his way into the scene, whips out a machinegun, and declares, "Kung Fu ''This''," before opening fire and putting an end to the fight.

* In ''[[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehog Archie Sonic]]'' issue #74, the page image is provided after [[spoiler:the freedom fighters discover Robotnik after previously thinking he was dead, and later discover Robotnik's plan to [[KickTheDog deprive creatures of their free will to get them to work in his factories]]]].

--> '''Islander:''' ''[Off panel]'' Aloha THIS!

* ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'''s BonusBoss.

-->'''[[spoiler: [[FinalBoss Ultron-Omega]]]]''': [[AboveGoodAndEvil Good, evil... We have transcended such... limited concepts.]]

'''Sam:''' [[spoiler: Hey, Hugh Bliss! Separate ''this''!]]

Compare/Contrast with IWillShowYouX, in using someone's own wording in a retort to them, except that IWillShowYouX is more specifically about what the character saying it will DO, whereas in Verb This there's no "I" in it and it could just as easily be referring to some external circumstance.

* In ''ComicBook/MarvelZombies 3'' Jennifer Kale tells Zombie {{Deadpool}} to "Healing factor ''this''!" as she splatters him in the propeller of an airboat.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Understated in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E2TheCutieMapPart2 "The Cutie Map - Part 2"]]. What Fluttershy says to Starlight Glimmer as she's trying to splash her with a bucket is technically "Then how do you explain THIS?!", but with her soft voice you mostly hear the emphasized end, sounding like "explain THIS!"9

* SexPistols' "New York": "Kiss this!"

* From the first episode of NYPDBlue: "Ipso ''this'', you prissy little bitch!"

* Subverted in ''ComicBook/IronMan'' (v1) #279 -- when Iron Man confronts the alien overlord Ronan the Accuser, his enemy at one point utters the perfect set-up line "None may defy the judgment of -" to which Iron Man responds with "Judge this!" and gives him all hell with his repulsors at full power (Normally enough to level, oh, a medium-sized office building). Unfortunately, this barely manages to make Ronan stagger a single step backwards, and he responds, seemingly even without sarcasm: "I find it... insufficient."

* ''Film/XMen'':

* In ''[[Film/TheAddamsFamily Addams Family Values]]'', when Debbie Jellinsky shows the family slideshows about her second husband, a senator who loved his state and his country, she quotes his words:

* ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' When an alien is trying to open to doors to the APC:

* In an episode of ''Series/{{The Suite Life of Zack and Cody}}'', the Tipton staff and the boys are seen practicing for the bowling tournament against the Saint-Marc hotel staff, and happen to run into their rivals in the bowling alley. When their enemy's brutal member throws a strike and is rewarded with a shnitzel, Zack replies "Oh yeah? Schnitzel this" as it is his turn.

* The fourth level of the first ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}'' game is called "Defend THIS!" It is focused on activating the titular ship's defense mechanisms (which somehow aid you in the level before they are activated).

** Also, the game seems to lampshade the fact that you heal constantly, having the late boss [[spoiler: Riku]] say "Heal this!" before attacking you.

-->'''Numbuh Zero:''' I've got a plan. But we'll need the help of you and your so-called children.
-->'''Delightful Children From Down The Lane:''' ''(appearing from behind)'' How about a helping of this?! ''(attack Numbuh 1 and Numbuh Zero with a dangerous laser gun)''
** And it becomes an {{Ironic Echo}}:

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Codename Kids Next Door}}'' ''WesternAnimation/OperationZERO'' has this exchange between the eponymous hero and the Delughtful Children From Down The Lane:

-->'''Delightful Children From Down The Lane:''' (appearing from behind) How about a helping of this?! (attack Numbuh 1 and Numbuh Zero with a dangerous laser gun)
