* Rob Schneider in ''[[Down Periscope]]''. "Prepare for dive!"
* One of the reasons why ''[[Das Boot]]'' is so great: it plays the trope straight then subverts it  {{spoiler|when instead of being saved by diving, the submarine is endangered by the fact that it's sinking}}.
* In a deleted scene in ''[[Austin Powers|Austin Powers in Goldmember]]'', Dr. Evil tried giving these types of commands, parroted by [[No Indoor Voice|Frau Farbissina]], tilting the sub every which way, until an unnamed officer gave some ''real'' commands. [[Lampshade Hanging|Dr. Evil even said he did it out of love for]] ''[[Das Boot]]'', "or as we call it in English... 'The Boot'".
