You all know about people's dying moments, how they'll give you a plea to take care of the boy, train the boy, or how they love the protagonist (who may be a boy). Some of these quotes can go down in history as some of the greatest lines of all time. Well, This Is Not That Trope! Lame Last Words are last words that nobody would want to go out on. They may be such things as an unwitty response to an insult, dying in the middle of your sentence, or others. Some last words only sound lame without context. If the last words Bob said were "Man, Alice is gonna kill me." then it could be this trope. However, if Alice is a deity and has powers over death, then Bob's last words made sense in context. These last words are often played for Black Comedy, but can also be played for tragedy if they show how pitiful the character is at the moment of their death. Note that they can turn into Famous Last Words if they're memetic enough. If they just contain swears, they're Profane Last Words. A subtrope of Undignified Death. Compare Grave Humor. Since this is a Death Trope, spoilers are left unmarked. |

Zig-zagged in BoJack Horseman: The final words of the dreaded Horseman matriarch, Beatrice, was "I see you" as she looked towards her son BoJack. BoJack ends up spending an entire episode mulling whether it was a Dying Declaration of Hate, a Dying Declaration of Love or something more profound. Only near the end of the episode does he realise that they were in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and that she was probably reading a sign, rendering her last words devoid of any deeper meaning. | |

Cypher gets his own lame last words when Tank turns out to be Not Quite Dead. For context, they're in response to Trinity saying she believes that Neo is the One, but it could also be in reference to Tank surviving being shot with an electricity gun. |

Referenced by crazed Vault Hunter Krieg in the Borderlands 2 short Krieg: A Meat Bicycle Built For Two. His inner voice (and remaining sanity) tries to get Maya's attention by saying something normal, but his insanity wins out and he screams "I'M THE CONDUCTOR OF THE POOP TRAIN!" Which leads to Maya assuming he's a random Psycho to be killed, and his inner voice admonishing himself. | |

A Discussed Trope with regards to Jon Arryn's death. When asked about his word, "The seed is strong," Grand Maester Pycelle notes that for all the importance attached to them, a man's dying words are seldom more meaningful than his first ones. Turns out in this case they really were importantExplanationAll Baratheon children have dark hair. The fact that Joffrey and his siblings have gold hair mean that Robert is not really their father. | |

Attack on Titan Lampshaded in the first season by Jean when Reiner jokingly suggests an alternative method to killing Titans. After the Time Skip, Sasha succumbs to a gunshot wound in a surprise attack. Her dying words, said in a delirious haze while bleeding out? "Meat." It's played with a bit, since the Japanese word for "meat" is "niku," and the name of the man Sasha loved is Niccolo, so she might have been saying his name. |

The Goes Wrong Show: In There Is No Escape, Stu Malone gets shanked, but has enough life to give a heartfelt monologue about vengeance being a prison. He then dies, and the voiceover tape accidentally loops, replaying "Then he looked at me and said his last words." This forces Vanessa to ad-lib the infinitely worse line "Prison, prison is...we're in prison." To maintain narrative continuity, Chris repeats those last words later on. | |

In Romeo and/or Juliet, this trope is affectionately used to indicate how the protagonists are just normal teens who won't immediately burst into flowery Shakespeare prose all the time, even before dying. That said, the Lemony Narrator is not enthused about this concept when this happens. In the main route, the narrator is annoyed at how Romeo chooses to say "DAAAAAAANNNNNNGGGG" as his last words and decides that between the reader and him, it was always "Thus with a kiss I die." He is much more impressed with what Juliet says. Not that Juliet gets the impressive last words in all the endings. In one ending, after stabbing herself and falling down on Romeo so her butt lands on his face, her final words before dying are is "I hope we spend eternity with my butt on your face." The narrator is not happy. |

Game of Thrones: A Discussed Trope with regards to Jon Arryn's death. When asked about his word, "The seed is strong," Grand Maester Pycelle notes that for all the importance attached to them, a man's dying words are seldom more meaningful than his first ones. Turns out in this case they really were importantExplanationAll Baratheon children have dark hair. The fact that Joffrey and his siblings have gold hair mean that Robert is not really their father. When Sandor Clegane kills some rogue Brotherhood Without Banners members, all one can say is a whimpering "Fuck you". When Sandor mocks him for his rather uncreative choice in last words, he follows it up with an equally pathetic "...Cunt!" causing Sandor to snark "You're shit at dying, you know that?" In fairness, Sandor had just axed him in the groin, so he wasn't at his most articulate. |

Speed: Conversed by Howard Paine, the Mad Bomber Big Bad, in the opening sequence when he grabs Officer Harry Temple and Temple tells him, "fuck you". Payne makes clear that he thinks using that specific insult as a way to showcase you're Defiant to the End has become an unimaginative cliche. | |

Doctor Who: In "The Doctor Dances", the Doctor disperses the advancing monsters by yelling "Go to your room!" (It Makes Sense in Context). He then comments that he is really glad that worked because those would have been terrible last words. | |

Blake's 7. In "Weapon", Coser goes on long rants about his loathing of the Federation hierarchy to justify his stealing of the eponymous superweapon, yet when the Supreme Commander turns up to kill him and take the weapon for herself, all Coser has to say is a pathetic "I didn't mean it!" | |

In Too Old to Die Young, right before Janey gets shot in the eye, she weakly lets out a "Mom" before she's killed, which is understandable as she's a teenager. | |

The Deadly Six in Sonic Lost World were given Uncertain Doom when beaten in the final Boss Rush, disappearing in a puff of smoke like normal enemies. While later games and spinoff comics would confirm they survived, within the context of Lost World itself some of their defeat quotes are very much this trope. | |

How I Met Your Mother: When Marshall's father died of a heart attack, the last words that he gave to his son personally were "Rent Crocodile Dundee 3. I caught it on the cable last night and it totally holds up." During the funeral, Marshall is upset that these are really his father's last words to him and is expecting something very meaningful. Later, he listens to his last voice mail which is a pocket dial turned on until his father tells him he enjoyed his visit at his home and says, "I love you". Then, the message continues with him asking for his foot cream as his rash had started to act up again. During the procession, Marshall decides to share that his father's real last words to him were telling him to rent Crocodile Dundee 3. | |
