Impudent Fool! (aka Your Favorite Corny Villainisms)

And now the <weapon> is mine. MINE! Bwah-ahahahah!

**I brought you here so you could witness my final triumph! **

::erk::

What I meant to say was…

If I ever write my own TV Series I am SO using that, and giving you a line in the credits and a series coffee mug?

Green, why did you say that AFTER I dispatched my bioengineered venomous winged howler monkeys with orders to to eat your living flesh and to bring back your still-beating heart to me?

::sighing::

Go inside, lock your doors and close the windows, kay? I’ll see if I can find the recall order.

I’m at work and they showed up 15 minutes ago.

Boss took one look at them and gave them all middle management positions.

I really need to get in touch with my union rep…

Allow me to clap…for the clap. That was perfect, DtC.

Here’s a few:

Heroic guy: “It’s over <villian>”
Villian: “Oh. It’s far from over.”

Sometimes paired with:

Villian: “Well done. But you forgot one thing” ::pulls love interest from around the corner with a gun to her head::

Or, the ever popular variant:

Villian: “You’ll have to choose between <love interest> and <somehow saving the world>”

Damn automatic emoticon! Was supposed to say “pulls love interest…”

You stole my bit! You shouldn’t steal my bit, Dasgupta. My sister stole my bit once. ONCE.

After the hero gets past what was supposed to be an insurmountable henchman:

“It’s so hard to find good help these days.”

Also:

Summoning guards to take the hero to his doom with a double hand clap.

To go with The Clap and The Snap, I give you…

…the Gesture.

The Gesture is what the head villain does, often a simple “come here” or “this way” or similar finger-wave, which is shorthand secret code for, “The hero unexpectedly fought his way out of the death trap and is now standing in front of me so I’m waving my finger at you as an indication that you should a) step forward and clap handcuffs on him, b) aim the death ray at him, or c) loom up behind me in formation and scowl menacingly.”

The henchman always, always, always know what it means.

From about a thousand chop sockey kung fu films:

“You must be tired of living!”

“Fool. Do you not know I kill at will?”

“You can’t stop me ! No one can stop me !”

Naming everything after himself; Lexcorp, Doomstadt, . . . . . . Otisburg. :smiley:

To the woman: “So, a spirited one. Bring her to my bedroom.”

“This cannot be happening. I am invincible!”

“It’s too late, my dear. In three hours we shall be wed, and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it.”

“You fight admirably, but in vain. Your institutions are doomed. They are old, decayed, corrupt. Soon they will collapse under their own weight. The New World Order is inevitable. A pity you won’t be alive to see it.”

“Scream all you like! No one can hear you!”

“Get out of my sight, you disgusting worm!” (In the MST3K version of Outlaw of Gor, they use this line as the “easter egg” line at the end, because the actress who speaks it stretches “worm” out to about four or five syllables.)

“Soon you will be begging me to kill you!”

I swear I’ve I read this one in about a thousand different fantasy novels (yeah, I go through 'em like potato chips, so?). Sometimes the villain gets poetic with it, like this:

“Soon you will be begging for the sweet release of death!”

Top Villain: Kill all the minor co-stars [who don’t know anything and pose no real threat].

Henchman: What about the hero [who’s sure to take down the entire operation]?

Top Villain: Him? He’s insignificant. We can kill HIM any time.

I mean, how many nobodies did the Cigarette Smoking Man kill, when all he had to do was kill Mulder in Season 1?

[the far side – duck to mad scientist, on desert island, sinking ship in background]

“But this time, the advantage is with me! HAHAHAAAH!”

[/duck]

“Captain Adventure cannot save you now, my dear! HAHAHAAAH!” [drools and leers]

What is even better (and more sadistic) is, when after the Leader asks Minion #1 the price of failure, he turns and dispatches Minion #2, who is just standing there minding his own business! Just to show the world what a badass he really is.

“I like you, Troy… it’s a pity you have to die so soon.”

Satoris, The Final Sacrifice

I had to Google to remember the name of the bad guy. Mostly I just remember ROWSDOWER!
