A common one in Referenced by...: William Shakespeare. Just like in the original context, it's used at the death of a young man; though the variation "good night, sweet princess" is occasionally used for women. As this phrase borders on Narm at the best of times, twists and parodies vastly outnumber the dramatic use. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. Examples |

According to the directors of The Lion King (1994), Scar was originally going to whisper this line (instead of "long live the king") in Mufasa's ear just before he murders him. They changed it on account of it being "too self-aware." He also says it to Simba in the alternate ending on YouTube. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In Frankendoodle, after drawing a crown on Gary with his newfound magic pencil, SpongeBob tells him "good night, sweet prince," before turning off the light and going to sleep. Gary responds with a very regal, if tired, "meow." In "I Heart Dancing", Squidward says it when he successfully overworks SpongeBob causing him to fall asleep, thus he cannot go to his dance audition and Squidward takes his place. |

The Simpsons Game: Sideshow Bob to Homer and Bart when they meet aboard the alien mothership: "Goodnight, sweet Simpsons, may flights of aliens sing thee to thy rest." And then he immediately steps on a rake. That's just laying around on an alien spaceship. ("I told you to pick up your space rake!") This bit is a reference to the "Cape Feare" episode of The Simpsons television show that includes Bob saying the more-straight version of the line, then walking through a veritable field of rakes and getting hit in the face with each in turn. | |

On Boardwalk Empire, Margaret says this when tucking her son Teddy into bed at night. She just means it in a normal, sweet way, but given his clearly complicated feelings about his 'adoptive' father Nucky, who had his real (and abusive) father Hans killed, this could be some serious Foreshadowing... | |
