When the hero has just killed someone, often in a gruesome manner, they do a Bond One-Liner. The classic Bond One-Liner is typically a bad pun or Obligatory Joke on the manner in which the victim was dispatched. It may be a sign that the character has sociopathic tendencies. Very much borders on Crosses the Line Twice; overusing can cause the speaker to cross the Moral Event Horizon. Alternately this may happen when the hero is discussing the victim with a third character often with the third character wondering why the victim is not present. Examples of Bond One-Liner include:

The Trope Namer is James Bond, who does this in every single one of his films. Ditto Arnold Schwarzenegger, but Bond's have more pun. * (After a hearse explodes) "I think they were on their way to a funeral." * (After decapitating someone) "He really lost his head." * (After disemboweling someone) "I'll say this for him: he had a lot of guts." * (After tethering someone to a rocket) "He got rather carried away." * (After shooting someone with a harpoon) "I think he got the point." * (After cutting someone in half) "He had to split." * (After throwing someone out a plate glass window) "Smashing." * (After throwing a machete through someone, impaling them to a tree.) "Stick around." * (After throwing an electric heater into someone's filled bathtub) "Shocking." * (After ripping someone's heart out) "I always knew you were heartless!" * (After forcing a grenade down someone's throat) "Something he ate disagreed with him." * (After throwing someone to a shark) "He disagreed with something that ate him." * (After slicing off someone's arms with a circular saw, dunking their legs in liquid nitrogen, incinerating their torso with a flamethrower, kicking their charred body into a refrigerator and condemning them to the bottom of the Arctic ocean) "Ouch." Alternately, a Bond One-Liner can be a snarky response to the now-dead enemy's attempted Pre-Mortem One-Liner, or an Ironic Echo of something they said to the hero earlier. Note that while William Peterson's one liners on CSI, David Caruso's one liners on the Miami sister show and Jerry Orbach's on Law and Order are often similar in content, they fail the test for this trope, as Grissom and Briscoe were never the killers, only snarkers. In general, see Quip to Black for cheesy one-liners right before a cut. Also, when said before killing, it's a Pre-Mortem One-Liner (which, for the record, James Bond says just as often). If the character is making smartass quips about their own impending death then it's a Gallows Humour version of a Facing the Bullets One-Liner. Examples of Bond One-Liner include:
