Line 22:
* Kyon from ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya|The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', in his usual snarky way, will usually break a potential beat with a thought of his own. This doesn't happen when he encounters something he can't explain, like accidentally walking in on a Mikuru clothes-changing session.
** Also, Taniguchi walking in on Kyon and Yuki in a suggestive position {{spoiler|after the fight against Ryoko}}.
{{quote|'''Taniguchi'''(idly): [[Memetic Mutation|Wa-wa-wa-wasuremo-]]
*beat (during which he holds an [[Large Ham|overly theatrical]] surprised pose)*
'''Taniguchi''': En... Enjoy yourselves! ''*flees*'' }}
Line 49:
{{quote|'''Elvis:''' "You nasty thing from beyond the dead, no matter what you think or do, good things will never come to you. And if evil is your black design, you can bet the goodness of the Light Ones..." ''*Beat as Elvis begins to realize what he's reading*'' "...Will kick your bad behind?"
* Beat*
'''Elvis:''' [[You Have Got to Be Kidding Me!|For chrissake!]]
* Beat*
'''Elvis:''' ''*To the heavens*'' That's it? That's the chant against evil from the "Book of Souls"? Oh yeah, right, boss. And what kind of decoder ring comes with that, man? Shit, it don't even rhyme well! }}
Line 102:
'''George''': "You mean the panties your mother laid out for you?" What does that mean?! }}
* ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' used one for maximum effect when Worf was giving Wesley romance advice.
{{quote|'''Worf:''' Men do not roar. ''Women'' roar. And [[Masochism Tango|hurl heavy objects. And claw at you.]]
'''Wesley''' What does the man do?
'''Worf:''' [[Real Men Wear Pink|He reads love poetry.]] ''(Beat)'' [[Crowning Moment of Funny|He ducks a lot.]] }}
* The audience of ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?|Whose Line Is It Anyway]]'' has one while they process a joke told by Drew Carey.
{{quote|'''Drew''': Welcome back to ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?|Whose Line Is It Anyway]]'', where applauding loudly means that you're great in bed.
'''Audience''': (beat) *starts to clap loudly* }}
* Very memorable unscripted instance in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcrwJXAGqwg dash-cam video] shown on ''World's Dumbest Drivers'' (episode 9, segment 5, "The Thin Blue One-Liner"). The professional comedians among the commentators unanimously loved this guy.
Line 159:
== Web Original ==
* ''[[Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog|Doctor Horribles Sing Along Blog]]'' loves this trope, using it on multiple occasions, and frequently paired with [[Metaphorgotten]].
{{quote|"Wow, sarcasm, [[Hypocritical Humor|that's original!]]" (Beat)
"Billy? You're driving the spork into your leg." (Beat) "...So I am! Hilarious!"
"See you in the aftermath. Peace!" (Beat) "... [[Metaphorgotten|But not literally]]..." }}
* Used extensively in ''[[Dragon Ball Abridged]]''.
* Also common in ''[[Code MentMENT]]''. It's usually followed or caused by Lelouch saying something ''insanely'' [[Non Sequitur]]. Which is often. It's also subverted when Lelouch reacts INSTANTLY to well-nigh ridiculous situations that would normally require a beat to comprehend with something even more ridiculous.
{{quote|Lelouch/One is in a cave with a recuperating (and naked) C.C. when Kallen walks in.
'''Kallen''': WHAT THE HELL!?
'''Lelouch/One''': PLEASEGODNO. Now, wait, Kallen, calm down!
'''C.C.''': Listen, [[Not What It Looks Like|don't get the wrong idea]]--
'''Kallen''':[Hisses]
'''C.C.''': Did that bitch just ''hiss at me''?
'''Kallen''': WHATCHU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?
'''Lelouch/One''': Kallen, KALLEN. Let's get one thing straight, here...
[Beat]
'''Lelouch/One''': '''I WAS GIVIN' HER THE SEX!!!''' }}
* [[The Nostalgia Critic]] also does this in his review of ''[[The Room]]''.

* ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'':
{{quote|'''Buzz Lightyear:''' ...and you, my friend, are responsible for delaying my rendezvous with Star Command.
''(beat)''
'''Woody:''' [[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!|YOU! ARE! A! TOYYYY!!!]] You're not the real Buzz Lightyear, you're--you're an action figure. You are a child's ''plaything''!
''(beat)''
'''Buzz Lightyear:''' [[Toy Story (franchise)/Funny|You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.]] }}
** And earlier...
{{quote|'''Buzz Lightyear:''' I just want you to know that even though you tried to terminate me, revenge is not an idea we promote on my planet.
'''Woody:''' Oh ''(beat)'' Well that's good.
'''Buzz Lightyear:''' ... But we're not on my planet -- ''[[Death Glare|are we?]]''
''(beat)''
'''Woody:''' [[Oh Crap|Uhhh...]] [[Toy Story (franchise)/Funny|No.]] }}
* In the ''[[Justice League (animation)|Justice League Unlimited]]'' episode "Epilogue":
{{quote|'''Amanda Waller:''' Finding Batman's genetic material wasn't hard. (Cut to a shot of Batman being bandaged by a paramedic while ''she'' collects a sample of his blood off the ground) He left it all over town.
(beat while [[Batman Beyond|Terry]] gives her a look)
[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Not even remotely what I meant.]] }}
* ''Dora the Explorer'' LOVES doing this.
Line 239:
...his hair. }}
** After seeing Homer and Marge kiss:
{{quote|'''Lenny''': [[The Simpsons (animation)/Ho Yay|Carl, remember when we used to kiss like that...]]
(beat)
with our respective girlfriends? }}
* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]''. Used fairly often, for instance in "Chronicles of Meap", when Isabella is irritated at Phineas for failing to realize that she might be causing the interference in his [[Abstract Scale|cute tracker]]:
Line 256:
'''Amy''': I get it! }}
* [[Metalocalypse]]:
{{quote|'''General Crozier''': You're being paid to gather all the information you can with this camera, so no f[[Sound Effect Bleep|guitar riff]]king around, got that, candynose?
''beat''
'''Dr. Rockso''': [[Catchphrase Interruptus|I DO COCAI]]--
'''General Crozier''': [[Stop Saying That|Yes, yes, I know.]] }}
