Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?: Difference between revisions

Guildenstern: I can't imagine. }}

* [[Coraline (animation)|Coraline]], in a deleted scene, blurts out a pretty amusing [[Non Sequitur]] in the midst of the [[Eureka Moment]] when she realizes the [[Cute Ghost Girl]] she's been talking to might actually be her friend Wybie's grandmother's long-lost sister.

'''Wybie:''' [[Didn't See That Coming|Uh...yeah...?]] }}

* ''I.Q.'' (with Meg Ryan, Tim Robbins, Walter Matthau) plays with it a bit:

** When [[The Colbert Report|Colbert]] discussed Burger King advertising Windows 7, he said that Apple had to get in on this and they would need something "McDonalds Big... for Mac...". He decides on Carl Jr's.

* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "Rose", the Doctor speculates as to where the Nestene Consciousness could have concealed a huge, metal, wheel-shaped transmitter in the middle of London. As he talks, his head is framed by the London Eye (a massive Ferris wheel). Rose notices it and smiles, and he says "What?" She gestures, and he turns round, then turns back "''What??''" He gets it eventually.

{{quote|'''The Doctor''': Valley of {{spoiler|1=half-eaten TARDISs}}. You thinking what I'm thinking?

'''Idris''': I'm thinking all of my sisters are dead. That they were devoured. And that we are looking at their corpses.

* Happened in a special ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]'' episode where Rex and Weevil watch the ''[[Silent Hill]]'' movie:

'''Rex:''' [[Mike Myers]] wasn't in that movie, dumbass. }}

* In ''[[Space Tree]]'' episode Slave Grave http://www.spacetree.com/spacetree31.html:

'''Pinky:''' Oh, about noon. Why?

'''Brain:''' What rhymes with June?

'''Brain:''' Gah, I'll make it April. }}

** And in another episode, it happened within the usual exchange, but with Brain providing the final example. After Pinky suggests that they package their trading cards with something pink and chewy that everyone likes so that people will buy them, Brain sees the obvious answer—include sausages.

** The other variation on the gag would be a non-sequitur from Pinky, which actually distracts Brain because he ends up agreeing with it.

{{quote|'''Brain:''' Are you pondering what I'm pondering, Sancho Pinky?

'''Brain:''' (nearly hits Pinky, stops at the last moment as it sinks in) A worthy enigma, Sancho Pinky. }}

** ''[[Pinky and The Brain|Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain]]'' featured a variation on this running gag in the form of Brain asking if Pinky has "Any questions?", with Pinky responding by asking a completely irrelevant question. Then, at the end of the episode, Brain gives Pinky the answer to his question. Example:

{{quote|'''Brain:''' Any questions?

'''Brain:''' Fred Flintstone doesn't order ribs every week. That was only animated once, then music and voice tracks were added. The footage is run at the end of the show in the same spot every time. It's called an end title. }}

*** And lest we forget, the marvellous moment from the episode where Brain manages to boost Pinky's intelligence to unprecedented levels...

'''Cheer''': What? No! }}

* This exchange from the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "Boast Busters" between [[Fat and Skinny|Snips and Snails]]:

'''Snips''': Yeah! Uh... oh, come on! }}

** In [[The Teaser]] for "Ponyville Confidential", Apple Bloom suggests that the school newspaper may help the Cutie Mark Crusaders in their cutie-mark hunt. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle proceed to use ''copies of the newspaper'' in every way they can think of (packing fragile items, lining birds' nests, and making paper boats and paper hats) before finding out that Apple Bloom meant they should try ''writing'' for the school newspaper.
