Big OMG: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

{{quote|''"[[Captain Obvious|They're eating her! Then they're going to eat me!]] [[Memetic Mutation|OH MY GOD!!!]]"''|'''Arnold''', ''[[Troll 2]]''}}

Sometimes, an astonished someone just has to scream: '''"OH MY GOD!!!"'''

 

 

 

Rarely does their god ''answer'', no matter how loud they shout.

 

Compare [[Big No]], [[Big Word Shout]].

{{examples}}

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dJ-C-1Hrw0 This scene] from the anime ''[[Karin]]''. It's also an example of a [[Big No]].

* In the [[FUNimation]] dub of the Studio Shaft ''[[Negima Second Season]]'', Haruna gets one of these after seeing her Pactio's powers.

* Momoko from ''[[Ojamajo Doremi]]'' loves saying "Oh my God!" a lot.

* In one of the earlier episodes of ''[[Naruto]]'', Gai responses to Kakashi's ignorance to [[Unknown Rival|whatever he's planning with this]]. Japanese version exclusive.

* A villain of the week screams this in ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'' when he is about to get crushed by, fittingly, a giant crucifix.

 

== Film ==

** The worst part about it? Listen to the very end. He's not actually shouting "Oh my God!", he's shouting "Oh my ''Gosh''!" - though it might just be a case of [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]. Hopefully.

* Dr. Cockroach has one of these in ''[[Monsters vs. Aliens]].'' The twist? {{spoiler|It's a ''literal'' "Oh-em-GEE!"}}

** Mikey and Chunk when Chunk breaks the small statue of David.

** Brand when he's about to fly off the road at high speed on a child-sized bicycle.

** Mama Fratelli when Mouth spits out all the jewels he was hiding.

** And finally topped off by the sheriff with "Holy Mary, mother of God" when he sees the pirate ship sailing off at the end.

** Pretty much a given, considering that he's just realized {{spoiler|the locals are going to ''[[Virgin Sacrifice|burn him alive]] and there's nothing he can do about it''}}.

* In ''[[Rookie of the Year]]'' as the kid goes up to bat for the first time the mother who's watching the game on television starts chanting oh my god then it switches to the the pitcher {{spoiler|who he replaced}} who chants the same thing, than finally it switches to the titular kid who says the exact same thing before ducking the pitch.

Kid: Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god * pitch comes* Gaaaah! * ducks* }}

* A great example is shouted by [[Austin Powers]] when he discovers {{spoiler|his wife is a Fembot}}.

* ''[[The Iron Giant]]'': Kent when he notices half of his car is destroyed.

** Also hilariously done when Hogarth says it during dinner and he's just noticed the giant's hand in the living room... and he turns it into part of the prayer he's saying.

* Jeremy Capello delivers this line in a fearful/incredulous way in [[My Best Friend Is a Vampire]], when his vampire allure targets the wrong person, as his nemesis' dumpy sidekick throws himself at his friend Ralph.

* In ''[[Ghostbusters]] II'', [[Hanging Judge|Judge Stephen Wexler]], after shouting his sentence upon Ray, Egon, Peter, '''''AND''''' Lewis, as well as a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|nasty declaration]] of " having them burned at the stake" akin to the Salem Witch Trials, the [[Applied Phlebotinum|jar of ectoplasmic goo]] used as evidence explodes, and the ghosts of the murderous Scoleri Brothers appears... Cue his reaction as the ghosts wreck havoc inside the courtroom.

* In Ten Inch Hero, [[Jensen Ackles|Priestly]] delivers this line upon realizing what tampons are for, dropping the box in disgust.

* Marty Wolf in ''[[Big Fat Liar]]'' does this when (after taking a shower) he realizes his skin was dyed blue and his hair orange.

* [[Ace Ventura]] shouts one of these shortly after his [[Eureka Moment|revelation of]] Lt. Lois Einhorn's "secret":

 

 

== Literature ==

* [[2001: A Space Odyssey|Dave Bowman]]: "The thing's hollow...It goes on forever, and, oh [[You Should Know This Already|my God! It's full of stars!]]

 

 

== Live-Action TV ==

** Carly, Sam, and Freddie also say this on various occasions.

** In ''iGo To Japan'' Freddie shouts the three-letter version when pushed out of the airplane by Sam.

** Janice? This is arguably the catchphrase of the whole show - albeit more frequently used when Janice is around.

* The Mouse Organ sketch from ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]''.

* A mimed version by Donna in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "Partners in Crime."

* ''[[The West Wing]]'': C.J. does this in response to Bartlet's comeback in the presidential debate.

* In a case of [[Gratuitous English]] for ''[[Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger]]'', Gao Yellow yells this upon seeing a vampire-type thing rising from a coffin, smacking it with the nearest blunt object to emphsize each word.

* This has been said near the end in almost every ''[[Pimp My Ride]]'' episode when they reveal the drivers pimped out vehicle.

* Andy has one of these on ''[[The Office]]'' when he realizes his girlfriend is actually a high school student. (Which [[Ephebophile|sounds bad]], but he says they "didn't do anything illegal...except knock over those mailboxes with her friends.") Jim then has a sarcastic "Oh ''my'' God" of his own in response.

* On ''[[One Day At a Time]]'', Ann Romano turned it into a catchphrase. She didn't say it loud, but she did draw it out: "Ohhhh, myyyy goooood..."

 

== Music ==

* Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick's "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDkqz5C62SM The Show]" features "Oh My God" being scratched.

* A Brazilian funk song starts with something: "Oh My God! They stole my Beetle!"

* There's an excellent parody of the Valley Girl version in Marina & The Diamonds' "Hollywood".

* The last line of [[Van Halen]]'s "Hot for Teacher".

* "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TKWNADcCy0 Oh My God]" by [[The Police]].

* "Sunday Morning After" by Amanda Marshall has this.

 

 

 

 

* Hilariously done in ''[[Shadow Hearts]]: From The New World''; when it is revealed just how much is at stakes, hyperactive Frank lets out a non-subtitled "OH MY GOD!" with over-dramatic body language. Nobody notices. Or cares.

 

* One ''[[Zebra Girl]]'' strip featured a string of Big OMG's. It ticked off Sam enough to walk in and [[Lampshade Hanging|ask why everyone was suddenly being religious]].

 

== Web Originals ==

* Chester A. Bum's [[Catch Phrase]]... "OH MY GOD!! THIS IS THE GREATEST MOVIE THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!"

* A [[YouTube]] video called "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et_MmlTxMXA Live Webcast Fail.]"

* ''[[The Annoying Orange]]'': Occurs in ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkHJKakHMpo Wasssabi]'' when Lemon sees Wasabi.

* ''Idiots of Garry's Mod'' had a scene where an actor invoked this trope upon noticing his chat buddy being [[It Makes Sense in Context|covered in headcrabs]].

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1a2iaGpBuQ This] single match [[Let's Play]] deserves a special mention... Try to shout OMG 34 TIMES. OUT LOUD. And that's as a part of an [[Affectionate Parody]] of Joel Gertner... or was it more of a bad impersonation? Well, YMMV.

* Duke Nukem quotes the exact line from Troll 2 in ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3zhbcqDSMs Duke Nukem Forever Fail]''

 

* In ''[[King of the Hill]]'', this is one of Hank's favorite [[Catch Phrase|catchphrases]], usually denoting something he either does not or can not understand.

* Brian gives a truncated one in ''[[Family Guy]]'' while Stewie's beating him senseless over an unpaid loan, just before Stewie takes the [[Amusing Injuries]] to the next level...

* ''[[South Park]]'' has the oft-repeated line, "OH MY GOD! [[They Killed Kenny]]! [[You Bastard|You bastards]]!"

** Randy Marsh gets two separate Big OMGs when he realizes every senior citizen in town is driving at the same time.

* Candace of [[Phineas and Ferb]] gets a good one. Bonus points for actually saying the letters instead of the phrase.

* [[The Simpsons]]: Here's one from "Missionary: Impossible":

'''Natives''': [imitating and collapsing like Homer] Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God! }}
