== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[The Emperor's New Groove (Disney)|The Emperors New Groove]]'': In the opening, Kuzco asks for a flashback to where the story began, but the flashback goes back too far:
{{quote| "See, this is a little too far back. Ooh, look at me! That's me as a baby! OK, moving on."}}
 
 
== [[Live Action Television]] ==
* [[Frasier (TV)|Frasier Crane]] does this a lot.
* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' serial ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S5 E3 The Ice Warriors|The Ice Warriors]]'':
{{quote| '''Jamie''': You see how those lassies were dressed?<br />
Line 31:
'''Jamie''': Oh, I'm sorry; it was just an idea.<br />
'''Victoria''': We will now change the subject, please. }}
* On ''[[Seinfeld (TV)|Seinfeld]]'', George and Jerry do ''not'' like it when someone does this; they prefer to let conversations continue until they reach a natural end. There's a reason this show's the [[Trope Namer]] for [[Seinfeldian Conversation]].
* In ''[[The Vicar of Dibley]]'', David constantly does this when the council meetings go off topic. "Moving on..."
* Chandler in ''[[Friends (TV)|Friends]]'' did this when other people had raised the subject. "The word you're looking for is 'Anyway...'"
* Happened a couple of times in ''[[Criminal Minds (TV)|Criminal Minds]]''
** While the team was eating in a Chinese restraunt in "A Real Rain", they were talking about the case and then Elle asks to change the subject. Hotch asks if she's seeing anyone and then Elle begs for them to talk about the case again.
** A case of [[Right Behind Me]] in "The Bittersweet Science".
Line 49:
== Web Original ==
* In ''[[Sailor Moon Abridged]]'', Serena called Raye "emo", and everyone else [[GASP|Gasped]], likely because that was a running joke about Sasuka in ''[[Naruto the Abridged Series]]''. Then Luna said this line.
* Linkara of ''[[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Atop the Fourth Wall]]'' said this after his [[Stunned Silence|horrified expression]] of seeing a comic start with [[Harsher in Hindsight|the top of the World Trade Center]] blown off.
* Done in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-0VfOoA5n0 this review] by ''[[Classic Game Room]]'' of ''[[Art of Fighting]] 3'', when the reviewer lost his train of thought.
* In ''[[Captain SNES]]'', [[Final Fantasy VI|Relm and Celes]] do this after Terra mentions that she saw her parents conceiving her in a vicarious flashback.
