Rapid-Fire Interrupting

Rapid Fire Interrupting is when-

Rapid Fire Interrupting refers to those moments when a character keeps interrupting another one while speaking, without letting them utter a single sentence.

''Umm... thanks Alice. Naturally thi-''

As you can expect, whoever is getting interrupted will insist on trying to speak, only to get constantly stopped by the other one. Angrish is to be expected if they get the opportunity to speak after the long breaking-in streak.

This usually mea-

This can happen either becuase the one interrupting is so angry he/she won't let the other talk, knows that he or she is more knowledgeable in the topic than the other, knows that the other is going to say something incredibly stupid, or just wants to get them angry.

Though it doesn-

The interrupting doesn't necessarily need to come from another person though, a Loudspeaker Truck or something to that effect showing up regularily can do the job just fine.

It's related to-

Compare Mamet Speak (in which both sides interrupt each other in quick sucession), Conjunction Interruption, Speechbubbles Interruption, Preemptive "Shut Up" and Silence, You Fool.

"Dad: Where did you get it? Son: Dad I -- Dad: Answer me."
 * The Cheez-its commercial with the "interrupting cheese" joke. The idea of all the ads is waiting for the cheese to mature, and there are always cheeses doing childish 'immature' things. This one has the cheese doing a knock knock joke about 'interrupting cheese' and then interrupting the guy's reply question.
 * This anti-drug PSA has a father asking his kid who taught him to do drugs (It was the father himself, teaching by example).

 * Dr. Evil does this to his son Scott in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. Scott is trying to convince Dr. Evil to let him shoot Austin and Vanessa Kensington instead of leaving them in a Death Trap.


 * His Girl Friday is famous for this. To pack in more dialogue and allow to be interrupted without the audience missing anything essential that the characters were saying, superfluous words were added to the beginning and end of the sentences, so if you missed what the characters were saying when they talked at the same time, you could still follow the story.
 * The Muppets has a scene where Kermit is trying to explain to Gonzo what's going on, but Fozzie keeps interrupting with suggestions about what he should say.

Literature
