--> [[spoiler:'''Kang''']]: Well at least we don't have to sit through the stupid video game credits. (roll credits)

--->'''Yogg-Saron:''' NO KING RULES FOREVER!

* ''VideoGame/WarcraftIII'' has this in Arthas' dialogue

'''Ezio''': The best. May it never change.
-->'''Frederico''': And may it never change us.

** In the Nuka-World DLC, one may happen upon the world's largest fire hydrant. The description in the plaque bellow includes a quote from the Fire Hydrant's designer saying that the fire hydrant could withstand both hundreds of years of corrosion and nuclear apocalypse. Somewhat of a subversion as the Fire Hydrant did do both those things, however the people responsible for these bold claims were likely not as lucky.

* In the trailer for ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'''s story mode, World of Light, the entire roster (barring the DLC characters) is staring down an army of Master Hands and an [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angelic-looking thing named Galeem]]. Marth estimates they outnumber the heroes ten to one, while Zelda adds that this is no time for fear. Then Pit goes, "We'll win this! I know we will!" Cue the ultimate CurbStompBattle.

** And ''Chronophantasma'' happened. [[labelnote:The verdict?]][[spoiler:'''Called it''' (sorta). While Hazama was struck down by a combined effort between Hakumen and Trinity, it is known from a ''Continuum Shift'' bad ending that Hazama could have used Tsubaki Yayoi (who Hakumen, a past incarnation of Jin Kisaragi, once loved) to thwart Hakumen, had Makoto (alongside the present Jin and Noel) not gotten to her first (and released her from her {{brainwash|ed}}ing soon after). As for Relius, Makoto and the now-free Tsubaki ran decoy duty with Relius' pawns (Litchi and Carl), who along with Valkenhayn gave Bang the opportunity to use Rettenjou on his own terms, permanently denying Relius his prize. Playing patsy to [[OmnicidalManiac Imperator Librarius]] is the only reason Hazama made Captain of Inteligence, and it clearly shows.]][[/labelnote]]

* This exchange at the Prologue of ''VideoGame/FatalFrameIIITheTormented'', before they spend the whole game afflicted with a deadly ghostly curse that they must survive through:

* This audio diary from one of [[VideoGame/{{BioShock|1}} Cohen's]] disciples, that you find after you have to kill him, ends thusly:
-->'''RODRIGUEZ:''' I'm through with the whole piñata. Let's see that old fruit [Cohen] try an' keep me here...

* At the end of ''Videogame/Portal2'', FinalBoss [[spoiler: Wheatley]] blows you up, but throws a tantrum when [[spoiler: he]] sees you're still alive. The roof breaks as the facility falls apart, revealing [[spoiler: a full moon]]. [[spoiler: Wheatley]] starts to taunt you by telling you to "take one last look at your precious [[spoiler: human moon]], because it cannot help you now". [[spoiler: You end up beating him by ''shooting a portal onto the moon's surface,'' causing him to get sucked out into space]]. Earlier, after getting annoyed by the Space Core, he shouts, "Nobody's going to space, mate!"

* Plenty of expamples are shown in JojosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle, but [[DeadpanSnarker Johnny Joestar]] and {{Baoh}} does this towards Josuke.

* This is actually the '''[[SuperpowerLottery power]]''' of lunar goddess Sagumé Kishin, the fourth boss in ''{{VideoGame/Touhou}} 15: Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom''; she is apparently [[JerkassGod so hated by nature]], if she says something, fate will conspire against her to try keep it from happening.

* In ''SaintsRow 3'', pedestrians may shout "You can't kill '''me!'''" at the protagonist as he/she drives by packing various shotguns, machine guns, electric grenades and a remote control for UAV-delivered smartbombs. In the prequel, drivers could occasionally be heard saying "This car ain't got a scratch".

* ''SaintsRow IV'':

* ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime3Corruption'' gets in on the act at the beginning of the game at the same time it references Warhammer 40K with the Horus Rebellion. That feeling it could get worse? He has ''no'' idea...

* ''MetroidPrime 3: Corruption'' gets in on the act at the beginning of the game at the same time it references Warhammer 40K with the Horus Rebellion. That feeling it could get worse? He has ''no'' idea...

* ''Medieval Cop 5: The Secrets of Lucifer's Wings'':

* Though it doesn't happen in the base version of ''Videogame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', [[https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/16341/? this]] GameMod turns the random guard line "It's been too long since we had a good bandit raid" into, well.... This can also result in hilariously absurd situations, such as if it's a guard who says it while in a Jarl's private quarters or some other location where it would be rather awkward for half a dozen bandits to suddenly appear without warning.
