A Stock Phrase, that can be related to Rule of Funny, Rule of Fun. A common response to the question "Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?" When it is used, there would typically be a much easier and more straightforward way for something that the characters are trying to achieve. The person uttering the phrase, though, isn't doing it for the result, but the joy of it. The one asking usually would rather just get it over with. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A minor variant is, "Where's the sport in that?" Often uttered by the Challenge Gamer in the face of an easy task. See also It Amused Me. Examples: |

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics): At one point, Dr. Eggman decides to capture Mobians and use their Life Energy to power his machinery via the Egg Grape Chambers. When his robotic "daughter" Mecha asks him if he could find a more efficient and easier way to do so, Eggman nonchalantly admits, "Oh, I'm sure I can. But where would the fun be in that?" | |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012): In "The Kraang Conspiracy", the Kraang have captured April and plan to get a DNA sample from her by using a giant needle to the head, which will kill her. When April points out that she could just give them a lock of hair for DNA, the Kraang admit that she could... but they find the needle far more entertaining. | |

Dragon Ball: Dragon Ball Z: Cell openly admits after becoming Perfect that he could easily one-shot the Earth and be done with it, but he would rather hunt down and kill every last human on Earth one at a time and savor their terror and despair because he finds it more entertaining. Dragon Ball Super: Goku Black tells Future Zamasu that this is why he didn't use the Super Dragon Balls to make himself immortal; he'd eventually get rusty and fights wouldn't be as fun. |

In the first chapter of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yami Yugi refuses to just pay Ushio the ¥200,000 (he brought double that much by "mistake"), saying it wouldn't be any fun, and instead challenges him to the story's very first on-screen Shadow Game. | |

In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The Squire of Gothos". Kirk asked his captor, "Where's the sport?" in simply hanging him, as he had planned. Instead, Kirk talked his captor into staging a "royal hunt". This bought Kirk enough time for a Deus ex Machina rescue. | |

In Pearls Before Swine, on the April 19th, 2009 strip, Rat wrote a fairy tale which he titled "Rat's Fairy Tale O' Fairness and Justice". In that fairy tale, there was a rich bank C.E.O. named Mr. Bank C.E.O. who made $50,000,000 in bonuses and stock options by lending out loans to people who couldn't pay them back. Afterwards, the loans went bad, the bank's employees lost their jobs, the bank's shareholders lost their money, the homeowners lost their homes, taxpayers with no connection to the bank had to pay money to finance this crisis while Mr. Bank C.E.O. got to keep all his $50,000,000 and live happily ever after in his Colorado mansion. | |

In Deadpool (2016), Ajax (or as Deadpool prefers to call him, "Francis") mutates Wade into a super immune freak with plans to enslave him to a rich bidder in order to make bank, but ever since Wade escaped, instead of wanting to put Wade/Deadpool back in the slave program for the money, Ajax complains he misses Deadpool for the fun of fighting. And even earlier, Ajax mentioned other people he kidnapped for his slave program who sadly all passed away inside Ajax's oxygen-depriving prison tube: |
