1) "TAKE IMMEDIATE EVASIVE ACTION!"

2) "Execute Published Missed Approach WITH OUT DELAY, and hold at the
outer marker"

and as Ben Jackson said:

3) "cleared to land on any runway"

What is the scenario that results in this command? Traffic separation?
Crash at the airport?

Heard this on the frequency the other day. The recipient was a regional
pilot. He replied a couple times with "Why, what happened?" The
controller finally came back, slightly perturbed, and stated, "just call
the number when you get on the ground, contact XXX on XXX.XX, good day."

There was a notable chill in the air after that.

Can't say that I'm terribly fond of:

"Call following number when on the ground, advise when ready to copy"

(happened once, ended up not being a big deal)

or: "N12345 I cleared you runway 26 via echo, what are you doing?"

"No clearance until you've repaired that radio".

(well justified, by the way)

Repost, but I can still remember hearing this over the radio while at
Lawrenceville, GA....

"Cessna 1234 go
around NOW!!! YOU ARE LINED UP WITH RUNWAY 7, YOU WERE CLEARED TO LAND
RUNWAY 25, 25 IS THE ACTIVE RUNWAY, RIGHT TURN, GO AROUND NOW!!! I HAVE
LANDING TRAFFIC 25!!" (this guy was rightfully ****ed and obviously
rattled) Then he issued a right turn and a go around to traffic landing 25
and lit into the Cessna driver again. "What were you doing? why were you
landing runway 7, I cleared you #2 on 25" The Cessna pilot must have
responded with some excuse about a mistake and the controller came back
"mistakes are what get people in airplanes killed, next time you make sure
you know where you are! Now join a left downwind for Runway 25, that's
runway 25, traffic at your 3:00 opposite direction, a Piper on an upwind leg
for runway 25, I said runway 25!"

Nope, I wasn't the driver of either airplane, I was already on the ground.

New NHL? what a joke

"Cleared to land on any runway" isn't bad. You get that when you are
doing a contact approach (at least a KSAC). How about "Call tower after
shutdown".
