Precis som i serien ovanstående tenderar Luke mot dessa. Lampa skuggad av Leia i en passform av Lilla Prosa.

I Jedi öde säger det att det ser ut som om han gjorde årets underdrift. G. K. Chesterton s poem Vin och Vatten innehåller denna pärla: Katarakt av himlens klippa föll bländande utanför randen Som om det skulle tvätta stjärnorna bort som suds gå ner i ett handfat.

En kort en i BattleTech Expanded Universe-novellen Assumption of Risk, där Galen Cox ombeds att beskriva den impromptu Solaris heder duellen han bara befann sig i, kämpade två små namn, Big Ego Mechwarriors tillsammans med Kai Allard Liao. In the fight, he had jumped his Crusader 8212far and away the smallest and most fragile of the four Mechs partaking in the duel8212between two heavily armed enemy Assault Mechs, landing on an elevated platform barely five meters wide (which is about the width of his Crusader ).

I realize certain words were exchanged. also, certain bullets. (She had shot him). The opening narration from the Train Job, provided by Book: The central planets formed the Alliance and decided all the planets had to join under their rule. intercuts with footage from the Battle of Serenity There was some disagreement on the matter. In Safe Mal says of River: She makes things not be smooth. Friday Night Fights . ESPNs Teddy Atlas frequently uses he got a little bit careless to describe a fighter who has just been spectacularly knocked out (or you can see his power a little bit on that punch for the victorious fighter). Hannah Montana usually answers such a line with, Ya think The very first scene in How I Met Your Mother. Jeeves and Wooster . Jeeves might be said to lightly indulge in this on occasion. In the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode spoofing Manos The Hands of Fate 8212 a particularly bad movie, even by MST3K standards 8212 Tom Servo says, You know, there are certain flaws in this film.

The problem is, they dont 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 Datas version of events. Captain Picard confronts Data: Data: It is a mystery, sir. Picard: That is an understatement Played on The Vampire Diaries . Hm-m-m, do you want to know how Damon became such a bad man Just ask him:Damon In all this important soul-searching. And cleansing of the demons of Stefans past, did you ever manage to get the rest of the story Elena He said there was more. Damon Yeah. Thats an understatement. Occasionally played on Top Gear . One example comes from the episode where they take a trio of Alfa Romeos to the track. Richard (in the pits) radios Jeremy to see how hes doing. Jeremy replies that hes doing Not brilliantly. Cut to Jeremys car flipped onto its side. Whenever some one says Thats not gone well its usually caught fire or crashed. Or both.

Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak to the shows first 361,000,000 winner, Michelle Loewenstein: You may be one of our bigger winners. (The previous winnings record being barely one-tenth of that.)

At the end of The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill , John suddenly yells Ey, up Cue the opening bars of While My Guitar Gently Weeps . Similarly, on the same album, Georges One more time leads to a spooky string passage at the end of Piggies. The entire premise of the song Belaboring the Obvious by Spider Robinson. In their dark song Protect and Survive . The Dubliners mock an official nuclear attack survival guide that was issued by the British government in the 70s and 80s. The second stanza serves as one huge understatement. Well a nuclear strike could be recognized It would stand out in a crowd Theres a flash, then a bang, then a blast of heat And a bloody great mushroom cloud So if you happen to see one at the end of your street Would you please pick up the telephone and inform your local police Weird Al Yankovic s You Dont Love Me Anymore has a description to what the narrators mate has done (among other things, pushing the guy in an elevator shaft, putting piranhas in his bathtub and shaving his eyebrows). His response Got a funny feeling you dont love me anymore . John Prines Please Dont Bury Me includes the following line:When I got there, they did say, John, it happened this-a way: you slipped upon the floor and hit your head. The Cars. Its rather obvious that the singer of Since Youre Gone is one accord short of suicide, and the song ends with Since youre gone, the moonlight aint so great. Even the synthesizer has to burst out in tears. Arthur . What happened to the Earth Ford . Its been disintegrated. Arthur . Has it Ford . Ja. It just boiled away into space. Arthur . Listen, Ford, Im a bit upset about that. Warhammer 40,000 is not a happy place . This bleeds into the fandom so much that, on this very wiki, it has been remarked that such things as losing your home planet is not sufficient enough reason to Wangst. (This borders on canon. The members of the Tanith First-And-Only lost their homeworld, and often get told to Suck it up, already.) Exalted . Solar Exalted have poor impulse control. The World of Darkness . For gameplay purposes, nuclear weapons can be a game breaker . Romeo and Juliet . Mercutio is fatally stabbed in a fight with Tybalt. When Benvolio asks if hes hurt, Mercutio replies, Ay, a scratch ., then follows with, But tis enough, twill serve. when he realizes that hes 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. In BlazBlue Hazama is forced to leave the heroes alive at the end of CS . His response is Guess I went a little crazy there. In Project Origin . Snake Fist comments that They took her (Almas ) babies away. She didnt like that. The official description of Cave Story says This is a jumping-and-shooting action game. In a cave. Also you can save. Also, Momorins Chivalry is dead, let me tell you after being thrown off a floating island. RuneScape gives us the description of the quest One Small Favor (a quest thats an infuriatingly long Chain of Deals ): Quest Length: Short (With some longer parts as well.) When Metal Gear RAY is curbstomping an oil tanker into oblivion in Metal Gear Solid 2 . Snake says to Otacon This is bad. Metal Gear Solid 3 has this wonderful number from EVA (Snakes love interest), Not good. What makes this an understatement is that EVA says this after Ocelot (Snakes 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 doesnt crash into the lake they happen to be over. Yeah EVA, of course your current situation is not good. The creator of Dwarf Fortress has said:The official Strategy guide for StarCraft has a picture captioned with:When a Nuke goes off, youll know it. Half-Life 2 . Prepare for unforeseen consequences. Five Nights at Freddys 2 . Hello Hellooooo Well, if youre hearing this, then chances are youve made a very poor career choice. MapleStory takes this to a logical extreme, and then some. Gelimer decides to make a tiny ship called Black Heaven. Thats right, its colossal. Its monstrous. Its 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, its 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 Thats your airship . Jack in Mass Effect 2 has a doozy when shes 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: Mordin: Trying to determine how scale-itch got on the Normandy. Sexually transmitted disease. Only carried by Varren. Implications unpleasant. 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. In Portal . the mildly psychotic supercomputer, GLaDOS. also likes to understate things. GLaDOS: While safety is one of many Enrichment Center goals, the Aperture Science High-Energy Pellet seen to the left of the chamber can, and has caused, permanent disabilities, such as vaporization. Please be careful. GLaDOS: (later) As part of a previously mentioned required test protocol, we can no longer lie to you. When the testing is over you will be. missed. At first it sounds like GLaDOS just likes you so much that it is going to miss you, but listening to GlaDOs 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. GLaDOS: (even later) Due to mandatory scheduled maintenance, the appropriate chamber for this next testing sequence is currently unavailable. It has been replaced with a live-fire course designed for military androids. The Enrichment Center apologizes for this inconvenience and wishes you the best of luck. GLaDOS: (again) Although the euthanizing process is remarkably painful, 8 out of 10 Aperture Science engineers believe that the companion cube is most likely incapable of feeling much pain. GLaDOS: Please note that we have added a consequence for failure. Any contact with the chamber floor will result in an unsatisfactory mark on your official testing record, followed by death. In Assassins Creed II . Cristina Vespucci said of her cousin to a prospective employer of his: Try Amerigo out. I bet in a decade youll have named your shipping company after him. Biggest understatement of the century. In horrorsurvival RPG Koudelka . the text descriptions that you get when clicking on environments are often this. For example, in one room featuring a towering guillotine with a crimson-stained blade, blood-splattered walls and floor, and later a couple of corpses, both shot through the head and lying in pools of their own blood, you get this text: You see dried blood spots here and there. In Obscure 2 . after one character turns into a giant, mutated abomination, pins another character to the wall with a knife, and crushes the skull of another under his foot, his friends burst in and confront him with this line. Stan: Kenny. youve become a major jerk, man. In Deadly Premonition . Yorks ( well, Zachs ) greatest insult to the ultimate villain of the game, Forrest Kayson, who at that point has been revealed to be an inhuman demon who has corrupted the town, caused people to kill each other, inspired the raincoat killers spree and has just raped and murdered Emily. Youre one crazy guy. In Civilization V you have the option of choosing Fascism for your society. The last part of the historical description reads: This form of government was quite popular with certain states in Central Europe during the last century but other states didnt much like it, and it was ultimately abandoned after some unpleasantness. The Caretaker AI of WildStar claims he has developed certain instabilities that may occasionally cause him to be a sadistic psychopath. In Armored Core Verdict Day. after hearing the The Dragon s calm explanation of his motive, that is, to gather every strong Mercenaries, have them fight each other before killing the victor, as he is the Reaper, he is called out by your CO and Cool Old Guy. Fatman. Fatmans response to all that insanityFatman: You are not right in the head. Which had an even bigger understatement as a reply: J. And whats wrong with that In My Harem Heaven Is Yandere Hell . as Yuuya watches Sayuri blissfully eat his hair. he narrates calmly, Lately, Ive just been seeing all these new sides of Sayuri, and I dont mean in a good way. This is because hes been imprisoned by her for several days already, and even before that was Conditioned to Accept Horror. Red vs. Blue Revelation . Agent Tex is a bit of a badass. This was said during an epic beatdown being delivered by the aforementioned person to Red Team and Tucker. Strong Bad Email . In virus, Strong Bads reaction to learning the Compy has been infected by 423,827 computer viruses is That is not a small number That is a big number Mega Man . We have a slight problem. Theres about five million Robot Masters outside, and they all wanna kick my ass. (Beat Panel ) Alternate Mega Man . We may wanna work on your definition of the word slight. Jayden and Crusader . a comic supposedly grounded in reality has this one:Smic . The best part of Christmas used to be building the gargantuan robotic Father Christmas powered by atmospheric engine, who would duel with my brothers contraption for the right of the first choice of Faberge egg. Hannah . You had a strange childhood, Smic. This Freefall strip. Homestuck . You have a feeling its going to be a long day. Sluggy Freelance couples this with Oh, Crap in this strip. Eerie Cuties science teacher and Mad Scientist. Wilhelmina Twigitt. Her unique charm, unlike those Large Ham types, includes diluting occasional outrageous events with words like seems and nearly . One is used in the authors comments on Ears for Elves . After a long and unexpected hiatus, the webcomic updated with a page proclaiming simply, Soon. The author pointed out in her blurb beneath the image that there was a subtle hint to be found. Schlock Mercenary. Narrator: The Tinth-Philkra rosette, comprised of one natural world and two habitiformed worlds, eventually tripled the size of the Enireth biosphere, but not before creating a small tide problem. The phrase small tide problem is an Enireth epithet. In Darths Droids when Anakin is being tested for Jedi skills . he says several disturbing things like A cup, containing the blood of pointless sacrifice. Mace Windu comments that they might need to talk to Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan about it, to which Yoda says, A master of understatement, you are. xkcd . Up Goer Five is a diagram of NASAs Saturn V rocket described with only the one thousand most commonly used words in English. Much of the high-tech machinery and catastrophic consequences from their misuse or malfunction are not everyday prose. If it the thrusters starts pointing toward space, you are having a bad problem and you will not go to space today. Model Rockets from What If has a similarly constrained bit of Alt Text. El Goonish Shive . Noah and his guardian, Mr. Raven, are discussing Noahs schoolmate Grace. When Noah shares his theory that Grace is the one who killed Damien. Raven is incredulous. Raven: Were talking about the girl who ran out of my classroom crying after reading about World War II Noah: World War II was kind of a bummer. 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 disease to which he isnt immune in said Forbidden Zone only starts to describe the implications of him ending up there. Nebula . Earth admits to Venus that Mars looks a little rough when shes just finished putting bandages over most of his face after it nearly cracked apart and the rest of his body is visibly injured in a similar manner. In this case, its due to forced optimism rather than snark. Dr. Horribles Sing-Along Blog. Freeze ray needs work. Thats. not a good sound. SCP-682 is somewhat volatile. Its page is named Hard-To-Kill Reptile . The Foundation naming scheme is fond of this. SCP-313 is called a Powerful Hand Dryer. When turned on, it emits a stream of plasma over four times hotter than the surface of the sun and proceeds to rocket around with enough force to drag a tank around. The Sturgeon Awards refers to the infamous fanfic Agony in Pink as not a very pleasant reading. The That Guy with the Glasses sketch How I quit my job ends on one. This after having played Also Sprach Zarathustra , ripped open his shirt revealing I QUIT written on his chest, and leaving to the end of Queen s Bohemian Rhapsody while being chased out of the building (and through the parking lot) by security:What have we learned today, boys and girls Boys and girls, we have learned that that bridge has officially been burned. The Nostalgia Chick. Heres the thing about rape: it sucks. Everyman HYBRID . The boys break Damsel out of the institution, but are caught by a security guard. Jeff bodily tackles him to give the others time to run. As Evan says, That escalated quickly. Its a bit late to hear this exactly from myself, isnt it This is the exact words from Frelean Maleau in the beginning of Chaos Fighters II-Chemical Siege after she confessed her love to Enrei before she dies. Atop the Fourth Wall . Linkara at the very start of his review of Pokeacutemon: The Electric Tale of Pikachu . Missingno. s a legend in game glitches and in particular Pokemon history. and apparently in some parallel universe, it spawned off into some kind of outer god that intends to consume and absorb all reality in every dimension. And its also standing outside my door. Yeah, its been a bit of a day. In the 200th episode, this happens:Linkara: If theres a single story that has hung over this show since the first episode, its One More Day . (This is followed by nineteen clips of Linkara referencingtalkingcomplainingraging about One More Day . which wraps up with him looking at an image of the book and growling I hate you ) Linkara: Yeah, I think I might have brought it up once or twice. Occurs again in the 300th episode. Linkara: You know, in three hundred episodes you may have picked up that Im not particularly fond of Frank Miller. (Next comes eighteen clips of Linkara talking about Frank Miller, including how hes gone insane, is a misogynist as well as generally creepy and that his writing and directing is terrible). Whateley Universe story Ayla and the Mad Scientist: Ayla is warning Lancer to keep Generator from getting sucked into a gravitational singularity and being horribly killed. Generator . That could be sorta bad. TV Trash. So, yes. Im not thrilled. Said after he blew his top over Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation and the crossover with Power Rangers in Space . In Noob . Sparadrap refers to the reason for which Master Zen stopped playing as him doing something silly. What actually happened was that Sparadrap got Master Zen angry enough to make him throw his computer out the window. While an old lady was under said window. Its a little hard for Master Zen to play from jail, apparently. And then the player and Walker do a bad thing. Yahtzees way of describing using white phosphorus on civilians. The developer commentary of the Five Nights at Freddys fan game One Night At Flumptys explains the reason the player is even at the eponymous Flumptys: Flumpty has kidnapped them and they are trapped in his nightmarish fun house. Success means you live to see another day. Failure means that your eyes are pulled out of your head and fried. Why does the egg-abomination Flumpty do this Because hes bored and wants to make friends by playing a game with them. The problem is that the game tends to involve terror, anxiety, and people dying horribly. As explained by the creator himself:Jonochrome: In my mind, the story of this game is that Flumpty kidnaps you and wants to play a game with you, and if you survive, you become best friends. Beat Flumpty does not have the best social skills. The entry for Isabella of France on Rejected Princesses includes a footnote about the fate of Hugh Despenser. Despenser was first dressed in a tabard with his family crest and paraded through town on the shittiest horse they could find. Then he was given a crown of nettles, had his skin roughly tattooed with biblical verses on arrogance and retribution, and dragged in a chest around town. Then he was stripped naked, half-hanged, and had his penis and testicles cut off which were then thrown into a large fire theyd built underneath him. He asked forgiveness of the bystanders, then let out a ghastly, inhuman howl and died. They split open his belly, cut out his heart and entrails, and tossed them in the fire. His head was cut off and sent to London, and his body sawn into quarters, each sent to the four next largest cities in England. He was not a popular man. Lex Luthor . We have a little problem. After Supermans apparent death in Hereafter, Wonder Woman explains Batmans absence at the funeral: He doesnt handle loss very well. Having your planet blown up could ruin your whole week From Jimmy on Ice Jimmy: I must have made a tiny miscalculation. (zoom out to reveal that Jimmy caused a second ice age ) Zuko . Thats rough, buddy. In The Drill, after the Fire Nations massive, incredibly expensive superweaponsiege-breaker is completely destroyed, Mai sums things up for the Fire Nation. Lucius . You may sweat a tad. Jimmy . You dont say (wrings his arms like a towel, causing a waterfall of sweat). The Powerpuff Girls . A worker at a nuclear power plant accidentally wipes his mouth off with a contaminated napkin, causing tentacles to sprout from his face. His response Hm. Well, thats no good. From Ed, Edd n Eddy after Jimmy lands in a sewer:Sarah: Ew, Jimmy You stink Nazz: Dude, Eddys brother is a real jerk. Ant-Man: Easier said than done, I take it. Mahr Vehl: I enjoy your species gift for understatement. Wilson: Someone has to count the votes, and The Delightful Children promised me a slice of their birthday cake next year if I. fudged the results a little. Numbuh One: Fudged They werent even on the ballot One episode of ReBoot has all of Mainframe infected with a bug that turns everyone and everything to stone that is, except for Hexidecimals lair, since it was her bug to begin with. Bob, the only one immune to the bug, storms Hexidecimals lair and, via zipline, kicks her right out of her throne. Hexidecimal: Funny. I sense a presence. A meta-example from Adventure Time . if the storyboard writers are any indication: The Lich King is Not Funny In the Teen Titans episode Nevermore Beast Boy and Cyborg get involved in a Battle in the Center of the Mind between Raven and Trigon. Beast Boy wants to know exactly what theyre up against. Raven: Lets just say I have issues with my father. In an episode of The Animals of Farthing Wood Kestrel accidentally killed Mrs. Fieldmouse and her reaction to finding out was How embarrassing This was played completely seriously. In the Goof Troop episode You Camp Take It with You, Peg describes an entire steak as much too big a bite for their small dog, Chainsaw. Not Without My Handbag . When Auntie comes Back from the Dead. Auntie: Walking the earth as a living corpse is probably in rather questionable taste. Odd: We-we cant be devirtualized. Ulrich: The scanners must be offline. What is going on around here anyway Odd: I have no idea, but weve got a real problem. Ulrich: Thats the understatement of the year. During a foreign trip in 1958, British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan referred to an incident as a little local difficulty. The incident was the resignation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and two other finance ministers. Such high level resignations could have been enough to bring down his government. On the return journey from the South Pole in Captain Scotts expedition, Captain Oates was injured so decided to commit suicide to give his companions more chance. Suicide was - genuinely - easy, since he just had to leave the tent and quickly die of exposure. He announced his intentions with the words I am just going outside and may be some time. Well, not that easy, given that the tent was laced together tight with (frozen) ties to keep the drift out and Oates essentially had no working fingers. Some, like Sir Ranulph Fiennes, have speculated that it would have been utterly impossible for Oates to go outside on his own, and the friends who knew he was a goner regardless helped Oates on his way. Captain Eric Moody on BA Flight 009 said. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. Fortunately his efforts to save the flight met with some measure of success - all four engines restarted, and the aircraft landed safely. Some years later he remarked that It was, yeah, a little bit frightening. He isnt the only one, either. All airline pilots are told not to talk to the passengers about an emergency unless they know they can sound perfectly calm. Fictional reflections of this gave rise to the Danger Deadpan trope. When Australian Olympian Janine Shepherd appeared on TED talks she spoke about how her life changed after being hit by a truck during a bike ride, after cataloguing her injuries, including her spine being broken in six places she concludes: I was having a really bad day The NFPA diamond is a label giving a brief representation of the hazards of a substance. It is divided into 4 sections, with numbers 0-4 in them or special symbols. The blue section represents health risk, the red one flammability, the yellow one reactivity, and the white one reserved for special hazards like acid or oxidation. A handy guide for the number scale for each section lists yellow 4 as may detonate. This led to the following conversation with a supervisor: May detonate Under what conditions All of them. This rating is reserved for nitrogylcerin, nitrogen triiodide, chlorine dioxide, and similarly temperamental chemicals. We have had an anomaly. We just had an anomaly of the Delta 2 Launch Vehicle from Cape Canaveral Air Station. Statement from launch control regarding the aforementioned Delta 2 Launch Vehicle exploding spectacularly and raining debris and toxic fuel byproducts over several square miles. We have just had a major malfunction. The major malfunction was the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger 73 seconds after liftoff. In Japanese history, the Honno-ji Incident refers to the forced suicide of Oda Nobunaga by one of his retainers, as well as the burning of the castle he was in and the death of all his bodyguards. Nobunaga was in the final stages of reuniting Japan, and his death threw his forces into a civil war amidst the civil war. An incident, indeed. Japan seems to have a habit of calling events like this incidents. Imperial Japan had such minor events as the the Mukden Incident and the Nanking Incident Back in the early days of NASA, astronauts Alan Shepard and John Glenn witnessed the launch of an Atlas rocket (the machine that would be taking them into space). The rocket blew up a few seconds later. Shepard turned to Glenn and calmly said, I sure hope they fix that. British understatement nearly lost a major battle in the Korean War. Whilst being over-run by Chinese forces outnumbering his men nearly fifty to one, a British brigade commander reported to his American general that things are getting a little bit sticky here. He meant Wed quite appreciate reinforcements. The American heard the laconic unworried voice of his subordinate, and reasoned that the British had things well under control. Reinforcements only arrived very late in the battle, allowing the remants of a British regiment to withdraw undefeated. This site has a few tropes. Alternative Title(s): Putting It Mildly. Comedic Understatement. To Say The LeastUnderstatement 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 theyve Seen It All. The Ditz may make understatements unintentionally.

Frank Skinner: I think that was the Daily Mails headline at the time. Hitler: Jolly Cross Death Valley Stebeck at one point phones his wife to tell her it was weird day at work.

In their dark song Protect and Survive . The Dubliners mock an official nuclear attack survival guide that was issued by the British government in the 70s and 80s. The second stanza serves as one huge understatement. Well a nuclear strike could be recognized It would stand out in a crowd Theres a flash, then a bang, then a blast of heat And a bloody great mushroom cloud So if you happen to see one at the end of your street Would you please pick up the telephone and inform your local police Weird Al Yankovic s You Dont Love Me Anymore has a description to what the narrators mate has done (among other things, pushing the guy in an elevator shaft, putting piranhas in his bathtub and shaving his eyebrows). His response Got a funny feeling you dont love me anymore . John Prines Please Dont Bury Me includes the following line:When I got there, they did say, John, it happened this-a way: you slipped upon the floor and hit your head. The Cars. Its rather obvious that the singer of Since Youre Gone is one accord short of suicide, and the song ends with Since youre gone, the moonlight aint so great. Even the synthesizer has to burst out in tears. Arthur . What happened to the Earth Ford . Its been disintegrated. Arthur . Has it Ford . Ja. It just boiled away into space. Arthur . Listen, Ford, Im a bit upset about that. Warhammer 40,000 is not a happy place . This bleeds into the fandom so much that, on this very wiki, it has been remarked that such things as losing your home planet is not sufficient enough reason to Wangst. (This borders on canon. The members of the Tanith First-And-Only lost their homeworld, and often get told to Suck it up, already.) Exalted . Solar Exalted have poor impulse control. The World of Darkness . For gameplay purposes, nuclear weapons can be a game breaker . Romeo and Juliet . Mercutio is fatally stabbed in a fight with Tybalt. When Benvolio asks if hes hurt, Mercutio replies, Ay, a scratch ., then follows with, But tis enough, twill serve. when he realizes that hes 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. In BlazBlue Hazama is forced to leave the heroes alive at the end of CS . His response is Guess I went a little crazy there. In Project Origin . Snake Fist comments that They took her (Almas ) babies away. She didnt like that. The official description of Cave Story says This is a jumping-and-shooting action game. In a cave. Also you can save. Also, Momorins Chivalry is dead, let me tell you after being thrown off a floating island. RuneScape gives us the description of the quest One Small Favor (a quest thats an infuriatingly long Chain of Deals ): Quest Length: Short (With some longer parts as well.) When Metal Gear RAY is curbstomping an oil tanker into oblivion in Metal Gear Solid 2 . Snake says to Otacon This is bad. Metal Gear Solid 3 has this wonderful number from EVA (Snakes love interest), Not good. What makes this an understatement is that EVA says this after Ocelot (Snakes 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 doesnt crash into the lake they happen to be over. Yeah EVA, of course your current situation is not good. The creator of Dwarf Fortress has said:The official Strategy guide for StarCraft has a picture captioned with:When a Nuke goes off, youll know it. Half-Life 2 . Prepare for unforeseen consequences. Five Nights at Freddys 2 . Hello Hellooooo Well, if youre hearing this, then chances are youve made a very poor career choice. MapleStory takes this to a logical extreme, and then some. Gelimer decides to make a tiny ship called Black Heaven. Thats right, its colossal. Its monstrous. Its 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, its 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 Thats your airship .

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: Mordin: Trying to determine how scale-itch got on the Normandy. Sexually transmitted disease. Only carried by Varren. Implications unpleasant. 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. In Portal . the mildly psychotic supercomputer, GLaDOS. also likes to understate things. GLaDOS: While safety is one of many Enrichment Center goals, the Aperture Science High-Energy Pellet seen to the left of the chamber can, and has caused, permanent disabilities, such as vaporization. Please be careful. GLaDOS: (later) As part of a previously mentioned required test protocol, we can no longer lie to you. When the testing is over you will be. missed. At first it sounds like GLaDOS just likes you so much that it is going to miss you, but listening to GlaDOs 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. GLaDOS: (even later) Due to mandatory scheduled maintenance, the appropriate chamber for this next testing sequence is currently unavailable. It has been replaced with a live-fire course designed for military androids. The Enrichment Center apologizes for this inconvenience and wishes you the best of luck. GLaDOS: (again) Although the euthanizing process is remarkably painful, 8 out of 10 Aperture Science engineers believe that the companion cube is most likely incapable of feeling much pain. GLaDOS: Please note that we have added a consequence for failure. Any contact with the chamber floor will result in an unsatisfactory mark on your official testing record, followed by death. In Assassins Creed II . Cristina Vespucci said of her cousin to a prospective employer of his: Try Amerigo out. I bet in a decade youll have named your shipping company after him. Biggest understatement of the century. In horrorsurvival RPG Koudelka . the text descriptions that you get when clicking on environments are often this. For example, in one room featuring a towering guillotine with a crimson-stained blade, blood-splattered walls and floor, and later a couple of corpses, both shot through the head and lying in pools of their own blood, you get this text: You see dried blood spots here and there. In Obscure 2 . after one character turns into a giant, mutated abomination, pins another character to the wall with a knife, and crushes the skull of another under his foot, his friends burst in and confront him with this line. Stan: Kenny. youve become a major jerk, man. In Deadly Premonition . Yorks ( well, Zachs ) greatest insult to the ultimate villain of the game, Forrest Kayson, who at that point has been revealed to be an inhuman demon who has corrupted the town, caused people to kill each other, inspired the raincoat killers spree and has just raped and murdered Emily. Youre one crazy guy. In Civilization V you have the option of choosing Fascism for your society.

And whats wrong with that In My Harem Heaven Is Yandere Hell . as Yuuya watches Sayuri blissfully eat his hair. he narrates calmly, Lately, Ive just been seeing all these new sides of Sayuri, and I dont mean in a good way.

Jayden and Crusader . a comic supposedly grounded in reality has this one:Smic . The best part of Christmas used to be building the gargantuan robotic Father Christmas powered by atmospheric engine, who would duel with my brothers contraption for the right of the first choice of Faberge egg.

Mace Windu comments that they might need to talk to Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan about it, to which Yoda says, A master of understatement, you are. xkcd . Up Goer Five is a diagram of NASAs Saturn V rocket described with only the one thousand most commonly used words in English. Much of the high-tech machinery and catastrophic consequences from their misuse or malfunction are not everyday prose. If it the thrusters starts pointing toward space, you are having a bad problem and you will not go to space today. Model Rockets from What If has a similarly constrained bit of Alt Text. El Goonish Shive . Noah and his guardian, Mr. Raven, are discussing Noahs schoolmate Grace. When Noah shares his theory that Grace is the one who killed Damien. Raven is incredulous. Raven: Were talking about the girl who ran out of my classroom crying after reading about World War II Noah: World War II was kind of a bummer. 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 disease to which he isnt immune in said Forbidden Zone only starts to describe the implications of him ending up there. Nebula . Earth admits to Venus that Mars looks a little rough when shes just finished putting bandages over most of his face after it nearly cracked apart and the rest of his body is visibly injured in a similar manner. In this case, its due to forced optimism rather than snark. Dr. Horribles Sing-Along Blog. Freeze ray needs work. Thats. not a good sound. SCP-682 is somewhat volatile. Its page is named Hard-To-Kill Reptile . The Foundation naming scheme is fond of this. SCP-313 is called a Powerful Hand Dryer. When turned on, it emits a stream of plasma over four times hotter than the surface of the sun and proceeds to rocket around with enough force to drag a tank around. The Sturgeon Awards refers to the infamous fanfic Agony in Pink as not a very pleasant reading. The That Guy with the Glasses sketch How I quit my job ends on one. This after having played Also Sprach Zarathustra , ripped open his shirt revealing I QUIT written on his chest, and leaving to the end of Queen s Bohemian Rhapsody while being chased out of the building (and through the parking lot) by security:What have we learned today, boys and girls Boys and girls, we have learned that that bridge has officially been burned.

Atop the Fourth Wall . Linkara at the very start of his review of Pokeacutemon: The Electric Tale of Pikachu . Missingno. s a legend in game glitches and in particular Pokemon history. and apparently in some parallel universe, it spawned off into some kind of outer god that intends to consume and absorb all reality in every dimension. And its also standing outside my door. Yeah, its been a bit of a day. In the 200th episode, this happens:Linkara: If theres a single story that has hung over this show since the first episode, its One More Day . (This is followed by nineteen clips of Linkara referencingtalkingcomplainingraging about One More Day . which wraps up with him looking at an image of the book and growling I hate you ) Linkara: Yeah, I think I might have brought it up once or twice. Occurs again in the 300th episode. Linkara: You know, in three hundred episodes you may have picked up that Im not particularly fond of Frank Miller. (Next comes eighteen clips of Linkara talking about Frank Miller, including how hes gone insane, is a misogynist as well as generally creepy and that his writing and directing is terrible). Whateley Universe story Ayla and the Mad Scientist: Ayla is warning Lancer to keep Generator from getting sucked into a gravitational singularity and being horribly killed. Generator . That could be sorta bad. TV Trash. So, yes. Im not thrilled. Said after he blew his top over Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation and the crossover with Power Rangers in Space . In Noob . Sparadrap refers to the reason for which Master Zen stopped playing as him doing something silly. What actually happened was that Sparadrap got Master Zen angry enough to make him throw his computer out the window. While an old lady was under said window. Its a little hard for Master Zen to play from jail, apparently. And then the player and Walker do a bad thing. Yahtzees way of describing using white phosphorus on civilians. The developer commentary of the Five Nights at Freddys fan game One Night At Flumptys explains the reason the player is even at the eponymous Flumptys: Flumpty has kidnapped them and they are trapped in his nightmarish fun house. Success means you live to see another day. Failure means that your eyes are pulled out of your head and fried. Why does the egg-abomination Flumpty do this Because hes bored and wants to make friends by playing a game with them. The problem is that the game tends to involve terror, anxiety, and people dying horribly. As explained by the creator himself:Jonochrome: In my mind, the story of this game is that Flumpty kidnaps you and wants to play a game with you, and if you survive, you become best friends. Beat Flumpty does not have the best social skills. The entry for Isabella of France on Rejected Princesses includes a footnote about the fate of Hugh Despenser. Despenser was first dressed in a tabard with his family crest and paraded through town on the shittiest horse they could find. Then he was given a crown of nettles, had his skin roughly tattooed with biblical verses on arrogance and retribution, and dragged in a chest around town. Then he was stripped naked, half-hanged, and had his penis and testicles cut off which were then thrown into a large fire theyd built underneath him. He asked forgiveness of the bystanders, then let out a ghastly, inhuman howl and died. They split open his belly, cut out his heart and entrails, and tossed them in the fire. His head was cut off and sent to London, and his body sawn into quarters, each sent to the four next largest cities in England. He was not a popular man. Lex Luthor . We have a little problem. After Supermans apparent death in Hereafter, Wonder Woman explains Batmans absence at the funeral: He doesnt handle loss very well. Having your planet blown up could ruin your whole week From Jimmy on Ice Jimmy: I must have made a tiny miscalculation. (zoom out to reveal that Jimmy caused a second ice age ) Zuko . Thats rough, buddy. In The Drill, after the Fire Nations massive, incredibly expensive superweaponsiege-breaker is completely destroyed, Mai sums things up for the Fire Nation. Lucius . You may sweat a tad. Jimmy . You dont say (wrings his arms like a towel, causing a waterfall of sweat). The Powerpuff Girls . A worker at a nuclear power plant accidentally wipes his mouth off with a contaminated napkin, causing tentacles to sprout from his face. His response Hm. Well, thats no good. From Ed, Edd n Eddy after Jimmy lands in a sewer:Sarah: Ew, Jimmy You stink Nazz: Dude, Eddys brother is a real jerk. Ant-Man: Easier said than done, I take it. Mahr Vehl: I enjoy your species gift for understatement. Wilson: Someone has to count the votes, and The Delightful Children promised me a slice of their birthday cake next year if I. fudged the results a little. Numbuh One: Fudged They werent even on the ballot One episode of ReBoot has all of Mainframe infected with a bug that turns everyone and everything to stone that is, except for Hexidecimals lair, since it was her bug to begin with. Bob, the only one immune to the bug, storms Hexidecimals lair and, via zipline, kicks her right out of her throne. Hexidecimal: Funny. I sense a presence. A meta-example from Adventure Time . if the storyboard writers are any indication: The Lich King is Not Funny In the Teen Titans episode Nevermore Beast Boy and Cyborg get involved in a Battle in the Center of the Mind between Raven and Trigon. Beast Boy wants to know exactly what theyre up against. Raven: Lets just say I have issues with my father. In an episode of The Animals of Farthing Wood Kestrel accidentally killed Mrs. Fieldmouse and her reaction to finding out was How embarrassing This was played completely seriously. In the Goof Troop episode You Camp Take It with You, Peg describes an entire steak as much too big a bite for their small dog, Chainsaw. Not Without My Handbag . When Auntie comes Back from the Dead. Auntie: Walking the earth as a living corpse is probably in rather questionable taste. Odd: We-we cant be devirtualized. Ulrich: The scanners must be offline. What is going on around here anyway Odd: I have no idea, but weve got a real problem. Ulrich: Thats the understatement of the year. During a foreign trip in 1958, British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan referred to an incident as a little local difficulty. The incident was the resignation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and two other finance ministers. Such high level resignations could have been enough to bring down his government. On the return journey from the South Pole in Captain Scotts expedition, Captain Oates was injured so decided to commit suicide to give his companions more chance. Suicide was - genuinely - easy, since he just had to leave the tent and quickly die of exposure. He announced his intentions with the words I am just going outside and may be some time. Well, not that easy, given that the tent was laced together tight with (frozen) ties to keep the drift out and Oates essentially had no working fingers. Some, like Sir Ranulph Fiennes, have speculated that it would have been utterly impossible for Oates to go outside on his own, and the friends who knew he was a goner regardless helped Oates on his way. Captain Eric Moody on BA Flight 009 said. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. Fortunately his efforts to save the flight met with some measure of success - all four engines restarted, and the aircraft landed safely. Some years later he remarked that It was, yeah, a little bit frightening. He isnt the only one, either. All airline pilots are told not to talk to the passengers about an emergency unless they know they can sound perfectly calm. Fictional reflections of this gave rise to the Danger Deadpan trope. When Australian Olympian Janine Shepherd appeared on TED talks she spoke about how her life changed after being hit by a truck during a bike ride, after cataloguing her injuries, including her spine being broken in six places she concludes: I was having a really bad day The NFPA diamond is a label giving a brief representation of the hazards of a substance. It is divided into 4 sections, with numbers 0-4 in them or special symbols. The blue section represents health risk, the red one flammability, the yellow one reactivity, and the white one reserved for special hazards like acid or oxidation. A handy guide for the number scale for each section lists yellow 4 as may detonate. This led to the following conversation with a supervisor: May detonate Under what conditions All of them. This rating is reserved for nitrogylcerin, nitrogen triiodide, chlorine dioxide, and similarly temperamental chemicals. We have had an anomaly. We just had an anomaly of the Delta 2 Launch Vehicle from Cape Canaveral Air Station. Statement from launch control regarding the aforementioned Delta 2 Launch Vehicle exploding spectacularly and raining debris and toxic fuel byproducts over several square miles. We have just had a major malfunction. The major malfunction was the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger 73 seconds after liftoff. In Japanese history, the Honno-ji Incident refers to the forced suicide of Oda Nobunaga by one of his retainers, as well as the burning of the castle he was in and the death of all his bodyguards. Nobunaga was in the final stages of reuniting Japan, and his death threw his forces into a civil war amidst the civil war. An incident, indeed. Japan seems to have a habit of calling events like this incidents. Imperial Japan had such minor events as the the Mukden Incident and the Nanking Incident Back in the early days of NASA, astronauts Alan Shepard and John Glenn witnessed the launch of an Atlas rocket (the machine that would be taking them into space). The rocket blew up a few seconds later. Shepard turned to Glenn and calmly said, I sure hope they fix that. British understatement nearly lost a major battle in the Korean War. Whilst being over-run by Chinese forces outnumbering his men nearly fifty to one, a British brigade commander reported to his American general that things are getting a little bit sticky here. He meant Wed quite appreciate reinforcements. The American heard the laconic unworried voice of his subordinate, and reasoned that the British had things well under control. Reinforcements only arrived very late in the battle, allowing the remants of a British regiment to withdraw undefeated. This site has a few tropes. Alternative Title(s): Putting It Mildly. Comedic Understatement. To Say The Least
