| Understatement | comment |
Describing an atomic explosion as being "somewhat noisy". A statement which, while technically accurate in a strictly literal sense, fails to convey the magnitude of the situation being described. There are many ways to use this. One common way is following the Rule of Three by having two strongly made points followed by something more casual. It may help to have a Deadpan Snarker who habitually presents things in the least exciting manner, especially if they've Seen It All. The Ditz may make understatements unintentionally. In any case, understatement only works where a tension level has been built to go "under". Note that like sarcasm, some people are completely blind to the effect. Often used by Captain Obvious. British and Australian humor occasionally demonstrates this. Contrast Felony Misdemeanor. Please don't sinkhole this article in your own attempt at an understatement on the wiki. The attempt either works or it doesn't. |

MapleStory takes this to a logical extreme, and then some. Gelimer decides to make a "tiny ship" called Black Heaven. That's right, it's colossal. It's monstrous. It's inconceivable how its construction was even possible. It houses an army of evil robots. And how does it even hold itself in the air? Oh, and to hit the point home, it's first introduced in a Black Heaven cutscene: Flying next to it are more enemy ships, each fairly large, but tiny in comparison. Oh, and that tiny thing in the looming shadow of the Black Heaven? That's your airship. | |

Eddings has a tendency to use this trope. In Belgarath the Sorcerer, Belgarath notes that "Alorns take a petty delight in gross understatement" after Beltira comments "we wouldn't want that" with regards to the ending of the world. The original example would be in Castle of Wizardry. A horde of Algarian cavalry so large as to make their approach resemble thunder falls on a small army that was pursuing the protagonists, slaughtering most of them and driving the rest away. Described by King Cho-Hag as an "interesting morning." | |

The first preview video of Kotoura-san, where Haruka interviews herself, she gravely downplays how she thinks of her telepathy powers. She at most says, "I don't really want it," and uses her constant Dirty Mind-Reading from Manabe as an example. That is actually the least of her problems, particularly considering he's her first friend in nearly a decade. In an oversimplification, Haruka's telepathic powers left her friendless, socially stigmatized and severely traumatized. In fact, she started to sweat profusely as the "interview" goes on and eventually she decides it's too tiring to go on. | |

In Stand Still, Stay Silent, a little of this happens as Reynir gets told, then realizes on his own, that the food crate in which he hid was destined to a crew exploring the Forbidden Zone rather than the safe zone in which he was hoping to have a vacation of sorts. The fact that there is a high risk of a deadly disease to which he isn't immune in said Forbidden Zone only starts to describe the implications of him ending up there. | |

Hawaii Five-0 once had a non-humorous example. The Villain of the Week is a terrorist who arranged a bombing of a U.S. convoy that killed four of the five men in the HumVee. After the terrorist is captured, Steve and Danny go to visit the survivor with the news. He refers to the incident as "a bad day at the office". | |

A brief one in the BattleTech Expanded Universe novel Assumption of Risk, where Galen Cox is asked to describe the impromptu Solaris honor duel he was just in, fighting two Small Name, Big Ego Mechwarriors alongside Kai Allard Liao. In the fight, he had jumped his Crusader—far and away the smallest and most fragile of the four 'Mechs partaking in the duel—between two heavily armed enemy Assault 'Mechs, landing on an elevated platform barely five meters wide (which is about the width of his Crusader). He proceeds to describe his choice of position as 'a bit narrow and a tad warm.' | |

The Mandalorian: Chapter 9 provides one which ends up crossing series lines when Din Djarin and Cobb Vanth nearly get into a shootout in front of Grogu. Chapter 13 then reveals that Grogu was at the Jedi Temple when Order 66 went down, meaning that he most likely watched Jedi being killed by Clone Troopers. Chapter 6 of The Book of Boba Fett confirms this when Luke Skywalker unlocks Grogu's memories and sees the poor little guy watching terrified as three Jedi are gunned down. Djarin had no idea how right he was when he said that Grogu has "seen worse" than a one-on-one gunfight. |

In Star Trek (2009), Spock Prime's assessment of the bastard who destroyed Vulcan because SP failed to save Romulus in the future: "He is a particularly troubled Romulan." Leave it to Spock — any Spock — to be a master of understatement. From the same conversation: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country had a couple regarding the destruction of Praxis. The first was Brigadier Kurla's response to Excelsior's offer of aid: "There has been an incident on Praxis." The other was provided, once again, by The Spock: "Two months ago a Federation Starship monitored an explosion of the Klingon moon Praxis." If you call being knocked off course and nearly shaken to pieces "monitoring". Lampshaded in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier when Chekov warns Sybok (who has just taken a Klingon hostage, among several others) that a Klingon bird-of-prey is coming to Nimbus III: In a bit of dialogue cut from Star Trek: Generations, Picard is rescued from the planet's surface by Geordi in a shuttlecraft. This is how Picard learns that the Enterprise has been destroyed: |

In the image we can see a spear going through Xavier's spine, which made him unable to walk. General Ross explains that Nick Fury has been captured in India during a failed operation, and now all the intelligence secrets he knows are up for sale in the terrorist world. Wraith replies "Not exactly SHIELD's finest hour, General Ross". Ross admits he has a point. All-New Ultimates: When Lana asks Poey about his absence, he said that he had an emergency. Then he gives in, and confesses he's been dealing drugs again. The Ultimates Remembering how the Nazis were such enthusiastic advocates of their drive for order, Herr Kleiser concedes that he ignored their "little eccentricities". This was when the Wasp asked him about the death camps. Bucky explained that he used to protect Cap from bullies at school. Then we see him storming across some waves of Nazi soldiers. "Lucky for us, he's kinda filled out a little since then". "HULK TOUCH NAKED GUY LIKE NAKED GUY WAS TOUCHING BETTY!". And by "touch" he means "demolish". |

Turnabout Storm: Twilight refers to what Phoenix calls "kidnapping me with your freaky spell" as "a minor setback". Twilight says that Trixie has a habit for running her mouth, which isn't that much of an understatement, but after spending 2 minutes with her, Phoenix thinks that "running her mouth" just doesn't cut it. Rarity says she got a "tad" annoyed waiting in the post office's line. She says this after her massive, loud rant about their service and their lack of pens. |

Chrysalis (RinoZ): When a Grove Keeper asks Anthony whether he knows anything about termites, Anthony is filled with a visceral hatred and need to destroy. When he repeats the word "Termites" in pheromone language, hundreds of nearby ants stop what they're doing, filled with the same rage and passion. "How can the Colony live knowing that a giant monster termite nest exists out there in Pangera? We can't! We must destroy it! They cannot be permitted to exist within the same Dungeon!" His response to the Grove Keeper, however: | |

American Dad!: In "Francine's Flashback", Stan mentions that the last time he forgot his and Francine's anniversary, he got onto a big fight with her. And by "big fight", he meant a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown so bad, it became an episode of COPS. In "Fart-Break Hotel", Stan makes Roger eat Francine's okra dinner even after Roger states okra gives him a bad case of gas without elaborating. The following night, the family is forced to evacuate the house when Roger's okra-induced farts fill the entire building, threatening to suffocate everyone. The hazmat team that gets called in tells Stan that whatever Roger produced is off-the-charts toxic, requiring a week to sanitize the house. |

Cut to Jeremy's car flipped onto its side. Whenever someone says "That's not gone well", it's usually caught fire or crashed. Or both. (There's even a poster) In the Botswana episode, Richard claims his car has "got a bit of water in it." He says this while watching Oliver drown in a lake. |

Guts from Berserk tends to be fairly nonchalant about things that would send other people screaming for the hills. One instance stands out, though, when he's fighting in his pain-nullifying Berserker armor. After getting bitten by what is basically a possessed sperm whale, picked up by a tornado and dropped from a height of several hundred feet, and catching a burning main mast (that would normally take 12 men and a bunch of pulleys to lift) before it falls on his friends, he remarks, deadpan, "Well, I'm gonna be sore in the morning." | |

Mass Effect 2 Jack has a doozy when she's telling Shepard of all of her various crimes, one of which is vandalism. When pressed she explains that by 'vandalism' the Hanar mean she dropped a starbase onto a moon, and it was their favorite moon at that. Mordin, a slightly neurotic scientist, always analyzes every situation with scientific objectivism: In the Arrival DLC, after two games of the Reapers spouting nothing but boasts about their inherent superiority and the inferiority of all organic life, Harbinger finally lets slip that Shepard has gotten to him. |

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS: The title character employs this often in her everyday speech. Telling her daughter Vivio that "This is going to hurt a bit" before blasting her with five Starlight Breakers at the same time is just one of many examples. Another infamous example: "Shall I cool your head a little?", which the title character uttered to a rebellious Teana before bombarding her into unconsciousness using her own spell. When giving a summary of the first season, Shamal said that Fate was "going through some complications with her family at the time." Translation: Fate's a clone and her mother was an abusive monster who manipulated her. |

Romeo and Juliet. Mercutio is fatally stabbed in a fight with Tybalt. When Benvolio asks if he's hurt, Mercutio replies, "Ay, a scratch," then follows with, "But 'tis enough, 'twill serve." when he realizes that he's dying. In a play where everything is overstated and exaggerated, his understatement shows us how bad the situation really is, making it that much more heartbreaking. Zeffirelli's film adaptation makes it all the more tragic by showing that even after Mercutio carks it, everyone still believes he's playing around until someone discovers a bloody spot on him. Even the music that plays at that moment indicates that shit is really about to go down. | |

Girl Genius: Played with in regards to a few diseases that make you change colors. "Vericus Panteliax's Chromatic Death" is an inversion; it's weird and dangerous, but ultimately sounds worse than it is and is easily handled by a trained medical professional. However, it looks very similar to "Hogfarb's Resplendent Immolation," which is invariably lethal and results in your entire body going up like a torch (though there's a small chance you'll just melt). Mechanicsburg has been a haven of Mad Science maniacs for hundreds of years, so they have a rather screwed definition of normal. It's not until Vanamode watches a little girl argue with her mummified great-great-great-grandfather about his bizarre speech patterns that he begins to question it. |

Ultimate X Men When narrating his origin story, Xavier mentions that he and Magneto had "something of a falling out". In the image we can see a spear going through Xavier's spine, which made him unable to walk. General Ross explains that Nick Fury has been captured in India during a failed operation, and now all the intelligence secrets he knows are up for sale in the terrorist world. Wraith replies "Not exactly SHIELD's finest hour, General Ross". Ross admits he has a point. |

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street: "Years ago, something happened up there. Something not very nice." In the trailers for the movie, this quote by Mrs. Lovett was used to refer to Sweeney's rather... bloody... killing spree. But in the context of the movie (and the play it was based on), it referred to Benjamin Barker's false transportation for life and would lead into the number "Poor Thing", where we find out that Judge Turpin, after the above Kick the Dog moment, had his way with the guy's poor wife. | |

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater has this wonderful number from EVA (Snake's love interest): "Not good." What makes this an understatement is that EVA says this after Ocelot (Snake's rival) had shot out the engine of the WiG with his revolver that she was piloting to get Snake and her out of Russia, Ocelot then jumps onto the plane and proceeds to engage Snake in a hand to hand brawl with Snake not having a gun to defend himself should Ocelot pull his out (which he does), all the while EVA is trying to keep the plane stable so it doesn't crash into the lake they happen to be over. Yeah, EVA, of course your current situation is not good. | |

"Warhammer 40,000 is not a happy place."

Erin points out that this doesn't sound so bad. The Big Bad clarifies that this 'pestering' will take the form of torture, death and carnage. The Ghostbusters then remark that 'pester' is a poor choice of words for what he's describing, and 'apocalypse' would probably be a more fitting one. | |

In Eleutherophobia: Ghost in the Shell, after Tom is bitten in half while in cobra morph (he gets better), he spends several paragraphs talking about how people used to believe snakes would grow back their heads if you decapitated them, followed by: "Anyway, you can see why I was a little worried." | |

The Ultimates Remembering how the Nazis were such enthusiastic advocates of their drive for order, Herr Kleiser concedes that he ignored their "little eccentricities". This was when the Wasp asked him about the death camps. Bucky explained that he used to protect Cap from bullies at school. Then we see him storming across some waves of Nazi soldiers. "Lucky for us, he's kinda filled out a little since then". "HULK TOUCH NAKED GUY LIKE NAKED GUY WAS TOUCHING BETTY!". And by "touch" he means "demolish". |

The Rigel Black Chronicles: Tom Riddle has organized a massive international tournament, and carefully and subtly rigged it, in order to boost public support for his discriminatory blood purity legislation, and has secretly coerced Harry into an Unbreakable Vow to make her participate as his chosen winner. When Hermione innocently observes that, "It's not a coincidence that the legislation you mentioned is coming to light at the same time as the New Triwizard Tournament pits blood categories against one another, is it?" Harry nearly bursts into hysterical laughter, but restrains herself to answering, "No. No, it isn't." | |

In Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, General Buck Turgidson gets several of these in quick succession when he informs the President of the United States that General Ripper, a lower echelon American military commander, has ordered a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union without the approval or knowledge of the White House or the Pentagon. When the President asks how General Ripper could possibly order such an attack, Buck says: The President questions how the Human Reliability Tests didn't catch General Ripper's burgeoning psychosis: Buck advocates following General Ripper's lead and to launch an all-out nuclear attack on Russia: Earlier when the President is talking with the Soviet Premier, he attempts to describe what Ripper did. |

Portal In the first Portal-game, the mildly psychotic supercomputer, GLaDOS, also likes to understate things. At first it sounds like GLaDOS just likes you so much that she is going to miss you, but listening to GlaDOs's later line "The Enrichment Center reminds you, that in the end you will be baked, and then there will be cake", you should know what to expect. Wheatley's remark at the very start of the second game. |

Two good Negima! Magister Negi Magi examples. One, Tsukuyomi casually mentions to Fate that she's never gotten along with other people very well. Tsukuyomi only falls short of an Omnicidal Maniac in it For the Evulz because she lacks the power. Godel also sends Negi a brief note with a cheery smile about how their last meeting probably didn't go very well if he's reading this now.

Chapter 13 then reveals that Grogu was at the Jedi Temple when Order 66 went down, meaning that he most likely watched Jedi being killed by Clone Troopers. Chapter 6 of The Book of Boba Fett confirms this when Luke Skywalker unlocks Grogu's memories and sees the poor little guy watching terrified as three Jedi are gunned down. Djarin had no idea how right he was when he said that Grogu has "seen worse" than a one-on-one gunfight. | |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): "In Throes of Increasing Wonder...": Lestat de Lioncourt informs Tom Anderson that "I came to my wealth honestly and at great sacrifice." We learn in "Like Angels Put in Hell by God" that the vampire Magnus had kidnapped the human Lestat from his room in Paris, imprisoned him a tower full of corpses that resembled him physically, fed on his blood nightly for a week before transforming him into a vampire against his will, and then gestured to a large pile of money which served as an informal inheritance to his newborn fledgling before committing suicide by tossing himself into a fire. Lestat is enraged that Louis de Pointe du Lac had ghosted him after Their First Time, so he warns his lover, "I don't take kindly to being avoided." Lestat murders Louis' beard Lily, intrudes on the funeral procession for Louis' brother Paul, breaks Finn's arm when he intervenes to separate Lestat from Louis, sets Louis' Catholic church on fire, and kills two of its priests so that nobody (not even God — Lestat is a Hollywood Atheist) can stand between him and his beloved Louis. |

The Major from Hellsing sums it all up with this little declaration: "My friends, it has often been said that I like war." He then spends about 5 minutes clarifying what parts about war he loves the best. Somewhere along the line the understatement wears off. | |

The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye starts as it means to go on when Rewind, Ratchet, and Chromedome, intent on joining a sort of exodus quest, suddenly have Whirl and Cyclonus crash in front of them after the former tackled the latter off a cliff. Before Whirl can finish Cyclonus off, however, there's a sudden Energon explosion from the below, which knocks out Whirl, blows open a hole in the ground, and reveals a legless Tailgate, who has a panic attack after thinking he's killed Whirl and passes out. Rewind only has this to say. | |

TFWiki sometimes slips into this when its staff are feeling snarky. For example, one of the pages related to The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers notes that the Wreckers are firing off entire mags of bullets that are formally considered war crimes to use, and then finishes that bullet point with "Those Wreckers, such scamps!" | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Peak Performance", the crew of the Enterprise comes up with a plan to make it seem as though they have destroyed the Hathaway by firing photon torpedoes at it and detonating them a millisecond after the Hathaway jumps to warp. The problem is, they don't know whether or not the Hathaway will be able to do this. Data describes the outcome of a failure to jump to warp as "unfortunate". In the episode Clues, everyone of the crew except Data are knocked out by a wormhole. Data claims they were out for thirty seconds. Eventually overwhelming evidence surfaces that conflicts with Data's version of events. Captain Picard confronts Data: |
