Line 15: == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'': Who screamed at the cockroach first? Who suggested that everyone's stuffed animals be brought and put on display? The answer to both questions appears to be Sakaki, though we have only the editing as proof. == [[Comic Books]] == Line 23 ⟶ 22: {{quote\|'''Namor''': For the last time, I can't "surrender"! This ''isn't'' an invasion of your surface world! [[Villains Out Shopping\|I just wanted a]] ''[[Crowning Moment of Funny\|bagel!]]''}} == [[Fan Works]] ==▼ ▲== Fan Works == * ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'''s [[In Medias Res\|prologue]] includes, among other things, Kyon being attacked by Asakura Ryouko, having possession of a lot of supernatural tools [[Haruhi Suzumiya\|his canon counterpart]] doesn't have, and Haruhi not batting much of an eye to Kyon's admission Asakura is an humanoid interface like Yuki. At some point after that, Kyon asks himself, "It started off such a nice day, too. How had it come to this, anyway...?". Cue scene change to the first non-prologue scene. == [[Film]] == Line 60 ⟶ 57: * At the end of the [[Opening Narration]] for ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'', the narrator asks "Who could love a beast?" We then fade into Belle walking to town. * "[[Shark Tale\|How long must this reef live under siege? Is there no hero among us? Who can stop this shark menace?]]" Cut to Oscar. * From ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' episode "First Date". The First Evil is trying to tempt and manipulate Andrew into turning against the potentials. While Andrew at first seems willing to do so, the First notices that he's asking a ''lot'' of odd questions, and then asks if he's wearing a wire. Cut to the basement of Buffy's house where Willow, Dawn, Anya, and Kennedy are listening via a recording device (yes, Andrew is indeed wired) and shocked that they have been found out.▼ == [[Literature]] == ~~Lampshaded in~~ ''[[Discworld~~/Mort\|Mort~~]]'':▼ A stealth Answer Cut appears in Terry Pratchett's ''[[~~Discworld/Pyramids\|~~Pyramids]]'', in which the narrative relates how the greatest mathematician in the world has just looked up in astonishment, having sensed something weird happening with the numbers. Cut to Teppic looking at {{spoiler\|a camel, who turns out to ''be'' that mathematician. Bonus points because, when read the first time, it appears that the camel's mind is wholly engaged in detesting Teppic, because that's what its ''expression'' implies.}} ▲ Lampshaded in ''[[Discworld/Mort\|Mort]]'': Lampshaded in ''[[Mort]]'': {{quote\|'''Princess''': You're a wizard. I think there's something you ought to know. '''Death:''' {{small-caps\|There is?}} '''Narrator:''' That was a cinematic trick adapted for print. Death was actually in his study, talking to Mort. But it was quite effective, wasn't it? It's probably called a fast dissolve, or a crosscut/zoom. Or something. An industry where a senior technician is called a Best Boy might call it anything. }} * Used at least once a book by David Weber.{{context}} * ''The Boscombe Valley Mystery'': As [[Sherlock Holmes]] is about to reveal the identity of the murderer, a servant announces his entry. == [[Live -Action TV]] ==▼ * In the TV adaptation of ''[[~~Discworld/The Colour of Magic\|~~The Colour of Magic]]'', again at the beginning, the classic question [[Who Would Be Stupid Enough...?~~\|the classic question~~]] is answered by a cut to Twoflower.▼ ▲== [[Live Action TV]] == ▲* In the TV adaptation of ''[[Discworld/The Colour of Magic\|The Colour of Magic]]'', again at the beginning, [[Who Would Be Stupid Enough...?\|the classic question]] is answered by a cut to Twoflower. * The ''[[Friends]]'' season 7 finale. Chandler asks Monica, "If you're not pregnant, who is?" Then the camera settles on Rachel. * The ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "The Big Bang" plays with this. After {{spoiler\|Rory accidentally shoots Amy,}} he's holding her, wishing for a "ridiculous miracle." Right as he finishes the sentence, in pops the Doctor, [[Crazy Awesome\|wearing a fez and holding a mop.]] Line 90 ⟶ 86: Parodied in a later episode, where Giles asks Buffy how she plans to fight the incorporeal manifestation of evil itself. Buffy responds that she has "the best plan ever". Cut to her googling the word "evil." In "Lover's Walk" Buffy scores high on her SATs, prompting Cordelia to congratulate her and say that now [[Freudian Slip\|she can leave and never come back.]] When she realizes [[That Came Out Wrong]], she tries to rephrase it in a positive way, saying "only a moron" would want to come back to Sunnydale. Cut to a scene at night, where a car crashes into the “Welcome to Sunnydale” sight [[Running Gag\|(again!)]] and the moron in question - Spike - staggering out and collapsing in a drunken stupor. "Home sweet home,” he says before he passes out. ▲* ~~From ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' episode~~* "First Date". The First Evil is trying to tempt and manipulate Andrew into turning against the potentials. While Andrew at first seems willing to do so, the First notices that he's asking a ''lot'' of odd questions, and then asks if he's wearing a wire. Cut to the basement of Buffy's house where Willow, Dawn, Anya, and Kennedy are listening via a recording device (yes, Andrew is indeed wired) and shocked that they have been found out. * ''[[Dollhouse]]'': "Omega", the finale of Season 1 as originally aired. Ballard asks where Caroline's original imprint is. Cut to a shot of Wendy waking up in a chair with Caroline in her head. * In the ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)\|Battlestar Galactica]]'' episode "No Exit," Boomer and {{spoiler\|Ellen Tigh}} are talking about [[The Power of Love]] on the Cylon baseship. Boomer says, "Who would I want to love?" Cut to Chief Tyrol. Line 100 ⟶ 97: == [[Newspaper Comics]] == * ''[[Bloom County]]'': When Steve Dallas, as lead singer and spokesman of the metal band Deathtöngue, negotiates a deal with CBS Records, he quotes the lyrics of their next song which goes "Let's run over Lionel Ritchie with a tank". Cut to the CBS CEO sitting in front of a huge portrait of Lionel Ritchie. == [[Radio]] == * ''[[I'm Sorry, I'll ~~Read That Again\|I'm Sorry Ill~~ Read That Again]]'' {{quote\|'''Radio Announcer:''' We have just heard that David Hatch has left Radio Prune to create his own radio station, and it falls upon me to say...three years later. ''(gentle piano music in background)'' Line 115 ⟶ 111: '''Ajax:''' No. }} == [[Web Comics]] == ~~== Webcomics ==~~ * Hilariously done in [https://web.archive.org/web/20090901201331/http://drmcninja.com/page.php?pageNum=6&issue=13 this] strip of ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]''. * Hannelore's [http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1141 dream man] in ''[[Questionable Content]]''. Line 130 ⟶ 125: == [[Web Original]] == * ''I'm A Marvel, I'm A DC'' - In Happy Hour, Joker tells Harly to "Name one (hero) who could possibly stop me." Cut to {{spoiler\|Spidey serving drinks at Stan's Place. Considered a crowning moment of funny.}} == [[Western Animation]] == * ''[[South Park]]'' [[Lampshade Hanging\|lampshades]] it while explaining the problems with over -reliance on in-school sex ed: {{quote\|'''Chef:''' "I know it can be hard, parents, but if you leave it up to the schools to teach sex to kids, you don't know who they're learning it from. It could be from someone who doesn't know, ''[pans to Mr. Mackey]'' someone who has a bad opinion of it, ''[pans to Ms. Choksondik]'' or even a complete pervert." ''[pans to Mr. Garrison]'' '''Garrison:''' "What-- [[Medium Awareness\|why did you pan to me just now]]? What the hell is that supposed to mean?" }} * ''[[Teen Titans (animation)\|Teen Titans]]'' used a bit of a subversion. Robin is approached by Slade about joining him, and asks "Do we have a deal?" There's a shot of Starfire trying to reach Robin with her communicator, ''then'' we see Robin dressing up in his new outfit. ** A straight (and very ''awesome'') example occurs in the fifth season finale. The Brain is making his [[Evil Gloating\|big villain gloat]] to a captured Robin, and at the end he asks, "Who among you can possibly stop me now?" It promptly cuts to Beast Boy. {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Answer Cut~~{{PAGENAME}}]]▼ [[Category:This Index Happened Offscreen]] ▲[[Category:Answer Cut]] [[Category:Cut to the Index]]
