'''Kyon:''' C...can you try it again with less, maybe?<br />
'''Yuki:''' Yes. {{spoiler|I like you. A lot.}} }}
* Used in ''[[Turnabout Storm (Fanfic)|Turnabout Storm]]'', during [[Ace Attorney (Visual Novel)|Phoenix Wright's]] first conversation with [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Twilight Sparkle]].
{{quote| '''Phoenix Wright:''' Ugh... Huh? Where am I?<br />
'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Hey! You're a human aren't you?<br />
'''Phoenix Wright:''' Yeah, I'm a human... *beat* WAIT, '''''[[Big "What?"|WHAT!?]]''''' }}

Line 105:
'''Wesley''' What does the man do?<br />
'''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? (TV)|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? (TV)|Whose Line Is It Anyway]]'', where applauding loudly means that you're great in bed.<br />
'''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.

* This is actually written into combos for [[Fighting Game|Fighting Games]]. Here, the Beat (generally written as a "!" or "-") is used to either allow the opponent to fall into a more advantageous position, or to let the combo meter reset. In both cases, it counts as a delay in the combo due to the player's lack of action, but the same combo as the opponent is generally incapable of acting.
* [[So Bad ItsIt's Good|Used hilariously]] in the ''[[World of Warcraft (Video Game)|World of Warcraft]]'' Hot On The Trail questline in Westfall. All done in ''[[CSI]]''/FilmNoir style.
{{quote| "This was an execution. Whoever did this was sending a message. A message for anyone that would dare snitch on these criminals. It would appear that poor Two-Shoes Lou really did put his foot... (Beat) In his mouth."}}

* ''[[Doctor HorriblesHorrible's Sing -Along Blog (Web Video)|Doctor Horribles Sing Along Blog]]'' loves this trope, using it on multiple occasions, and frequently paired with [[Metaphorgotten]].
