Justs for sh*ts and giggles
How about some comical last words. For example:
"Hey guys, watch this!"
"What does this button do?"
"You are a coward Klingon!" etc etc
Think of any funny ones?

Not quite, it was a Union general - Maj Gen John Sedgwick, at the Battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse. Wiki says he was the senior Union officer to be killed in the war.
On a vaguely related note, why do the names of US battles so often sound like something out of Monty Python?
