I'm Going to Hell For This

""Sammy, if you can hear me, our mom was a babe. And I'm going to hell. Again.""

- Dean Winchester, Supernatural, In The Beginning

""All right, then, I'll GO to hell.""

- Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

A Stock Phrase used to lampshade the inherent immorality or tastelessness of an action, a statement, or a joke. The action itself does not even need to be something that will certainly send you straight to Hell. Draw on the Pope's face in sharpie? "I'm going to hell for this". Pull extensive and hysterical pranks on a cripple (such as pushing them down the stairs, wheelchair and all)? "I'm going to hell for this." Ignore the "Keep off the grass" sign? You guessed it.

(Note that, canonically, almost no sin "locks in" your destination; depending on the denomination, true repentance (i.e. you not only apologize, but actually make an effort to stop doing the behavior(s) so defined ), or simply believing that Christ saved your sins is said to be sufficient to change it.)

 * In the film December Boys, a small group of orphan friends (sans one) are sneaking peaks at a Playboy type magazine in the middle of the night.

 * A variation in The West Wing: at the Republican National Convention, the vice-presidential candidate Ray Sullivan is making a speech filled with "comedic" dog-whistles about President Bartlet's multiple sclerosis ("the body politic is ailing", "business is paralysed", the US is "just a shadow of its former strength"...) -- Josh and Donna watch on TV, outraged but calm.

Music
"I'm probably going to burn for this

Ain't no lesson to learn from this

Ain't nothing I'm-a earn

But it sure is fun (to catch a predator)"


 * NoFX has a song actually titled "I Am Going To Hell For This One." It's about Jesus coming back, claiming royalties for his use in popular media, then living a drug-fueled orgy of Earthly pleasure while condemning Christians for their self-denial and use of fear and moral arrogance rather than love. Hence the title.
 * "I may be going to hell in a bucket, baby, but at least I'm enjoying the ride".

 * At the end of Doug Walker's "Aristocrats" video, there is an outtake of him saying these exact words.
 * In episode 43, Ask That Guy explains possible Christmas themed forms of suicide, culminating in him suggesting that one could be sodomized by a reindeer. At the very end of his response, he utters the magic phrase.
 * These exact words are used in a dramatic sense in this page of a collaborative improvisational comic. (Context: The character uttering these words has just doomed an orbital prison to burn up in the atmosphere.)
 * A running joke in the Fark community is to utter this after making or laughing at a particularly tasteless joke. It has become ubiquitous enough that most people don't even bother to say it, just "One ticket, please" or request a window seat. At least one commenter has requested the "bitch seat" (sitting between two other passengers), reasoning that on any plane or bus to hell, every seat is a bitch seat.

Stand Up Comedy
"I'm goin' to hell for that bit...and yer all comin' with me! And don't try and get out of it, either -- 'But we didn't laugh at that bit, Jesus! Pleeeease?' 'Shut up, get on the bus with Leary and Scorsese; you're going right ta fuckin' hell!' "
 * After an extended impression of Jesus-As-Twilight-Years-Elvis (with him asking for cheeseburgers and oral sex from Mary Magdalene, while noting that he has a colostomy bag that needs emptying and he just voided his bowels), Denis Leary muses:


 * Comedian/Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham once did a routine about the oddity of having a Sign Language Interpreter present at a Ventriloquist show (and deaf people attending such a show). He likened it to blind people attending a David Copperfield show. At the end of his routine, he says (through his dummy), "We're going to hell for that."
 * That's not the worst of it. He explained how he cheerfully proceeded to mess with them by saying a string of random words, followed by saying nothing at all while miming energetic speech and laughter. The poor interpreter had to follow along while the deaf people were left wondering what the heck was going on. Then again, they were already in Hell, a.k.a. Santa Ana...
 * Comedian Dane Cook has used a variation on this. "I'm going to hell for that one. And you laughed, so you're coming with me... I'm doing two shows there Friday and Saturday."
 * Variation by Jimmy Carr--After one cheap shot at Christianity, he remarked "That seems to have split the room into two groups - one group thought that was hilarious, and the other is going to heaven."
 * Eddie Izzard's historical material often includes Biblical events. After the audience laughs at the end of one bit, he bursts into a song of "Blas~feh~meeee, blas~feh~youuuuuu, blas~feh~every~body~in~the~roooooom..!"

Video Games
"We've already packed our bags."
 * In a meta example, many players of Assassin's Creed II said this when they realized that the Final Boss was, and that the Final Battle takes place . However, it's historical fact that was a horrible person, so hopefully God will give all us gamers a mulligan on this one.
 * There is one Flash game where Simon Belmont faces off against Jesus Christ, with the latter eventually being killed by God. The makers noted in the credits that a lot of people said they're going to hell for this.


 * "Isaac...we're all gonna burn for what we did to you."

 * The author's note for Issue 5, Page 5 of Asperchu is simply "I'm going to hell for this."

 * Jon says this in Errant Story, when taking on a mission from the Wraiths to assassinate a priest.

She says no, and she doesn't plan to, and the customer gets angry, saying "I bet you'd watch it if there were snakes on that plane!" Cue two panels of internal shots of the planes crashing into the Towers, while filled with snakes, and then a cut to the artist with his sidekick/muse yelling "You're going to Hell!"
 * In Exterminatus Now, Virus states this, as he's part of the party responsible for slashing an angel with a Laser Blade. Seen here.

 * Crops up (kinda) in a Let's Play of New Super Mario Bros Wii by the Freelance Astronauts. pipes!, as Luigi, gained control of a moving platform towards the end of a stage in level 8. When he loses control of said platform and can't change course in time, he decided to play it up, and send the platform at full speed into a lava trap, screaming, "TO HELL!!!" at the top of his lungs, causing a Total Party Kill.
 * A more definite example appears in their Let's Play of The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask when Maxwell equips the Stone Mask to circumvent the stealth in the Gerudo Fortress. Said mask had already been called "downsy", so they started talking like Link as a person with Down's syndrome. Once inside the fortress (after the cutscene to show it off ended):

"Seiferguy(?): Aaaand we're all going to hell."
 * Also, for the same game, they play "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" over the last minute before the moon crashes, as well as the cinematic where it happens. As the moon is crushing the clock tower:


 * The Angry Video Game Nerd regularly reviews video games based on The Bible for his Christmas specials. One of said games is the complete text of the King James Bible on a Game Boy, including a search function.

His response is "Heh heh...I'm going to hell."
 * When Linkara reviewed a Mr. T comic book and came across the line "It's a crack baby, foo'!" he expressed a fear of going to hell for laughing at it.

Brittany and the cheerleaders become inexplicably convinced that Tommy Sherman's ghost is haunting the girl's bathroom because of this. Hence, this moment:

Daria: You know, if you could just get one of those crutches away from Kevin, you could plant one of them instead. That's sure to appease Tommy's restless bathroom spirit.

Brittany: You're right! *walks away*

Jane: You know you're going to hell.

Daria: Anything that gets me out of Lawndale."


 * Another episode has Quinn trying to convince people to donate money for her plastic surgery. When she tries to convince a goth girl that her beauty will be something everyone can share, the girl replies "and you're not even the least bit afraid that there may be a Hell?"
 * In a sketch on Robot Chicken, Daredevil teams up with Stevie Wonder against Marly Matlin and Helen Keller in a game show. The first round involves "what sound is this?" and the second involves "name this item". Unfortunately, Helen fails and has to do the physical challenge. The directing staff of that episode all say they're going to hell in the commentary.
 * Played straight in one episode of Family Guy where Tom Tucker and Diane Simmons make jabs at the people taking part in the Special Peoples' Games (i.e., the Special Olympics with the serial numbers filed off) and note that they are going to go to hell by the end of the day.
