Line 9 ⟶ 8:
We then hear an audible [[Dramatic Gun Cock|click]] from off screen. The camera moves to the side showing that someone from the same side as the pointee has just shown up and is pointing a gun at the pointer.
Often leads to a [[Mexican Standoff]], especially when large groups of people are involved. Sometimes is immediately followed by [[Verb This|Dodge This]].
Occasionally subverted when a [[Gambit Pileup|fourth party arrives]] to point at the pointer who is pointing at the first pointer.
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
Subtrope of [[Kinetic Clicking]]. See also [[Audible Sharpness]], [[Dramatic Gun Cock]] and [[Land Mine Goes Click]]. See [[Twang! "Hello."]] for the archery/throwing weapon equivalent.

== Advertising ==
* There was an entire [[Xbox]] 360 commercial built around this trope, with people in a crowded city (and finger-pistols instead of actual firearms); while the commercial never aired on television, it can be viewed on the Internet.
== Anime
* In the ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]'' {{spoiler|episode "Embraced by a Disguised Net -- CAPTIVATED", a kidnapper gets the drop on the Major, putting a gun to her head. However, as fits this trope, Batou shows up behind her...}}
* In the second episode of ''[[Dominion Tank Police]]'', the police Chief attempts to arrest Buaku when Anipuna and the Gang click hello him. The gang are then click hello'ed by the Red Commandos who are, of course, click hello'ed by Britain and the rest of the tank police.
* ''[[Baccano!]]!'' executes a textbook version of this (as seen in the page image) when [[The Mafia|Luck Gandor]] finds [[Jerkass|Dallas]] attempting to kill his best friend, Firo.
* In the ''[[Lupin III]]'' movie ''Dead or Alive'', Lupin and co manage to kidnap a princess, who's actually a government agent in disguise. Lupin discovers this when he's interruped mid-sentence by a pistol pressing into the back of his head.
* Sōsuke from ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]!'' has a habit of doing this to people. ''Especially'' people whom he randomly deems as being "suspicious".
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' has a variant of this. Ritsuko is about to show Rei's origins to Shinji but the door rejects her card. Then Misato [[Stealth Hi Bye|remarks]] from behind a gun that it won't open without her code. She did the same with Kaji when he was about to enter Lilith's chamber.

* Wolverine manages to pull this on Deathstroke in the [[Intercontinuity Crossover|X-Men/Teen Titans crossover]].
** Shouldn't that be more of a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Snikt Hello?]]
Line 49 ⟶ 48:
* ''[[Tango and Cash]]'': Done twice in one scene where Cash is investigating Requin's house. Requin gets the drop on Cash, but immediately after Requin utters a one-liner, Tango gets the drop on him.
* Done quite well in the movie ''[[The Matrix]]'' by Trinity. ("[[Verb This|Dodge this]].")
* Used twice in one scene in in ''[[
{{quote|'''Valentin:''' ''(recognizing the cocking noise)'' Walther PPK. 7.65mm. Only three men I know of use that gun; I believe I've killed two of them.
'''James Bond:''' Lucky me.
Line 105 ⟶ 104:
** Another, "The Hot Line", in which the Chief goes undercover as a singing waiter, has a series of Click Hello reversals while the Chief is ''onstage'', resulting in an impromptu choral number of seven people in a Click Hello Chain. While remaining on-key, on-tempo, and smiling. We just don't get that kind of professionalism and showmanship in our secret agents anymore...
* Done at its most [[Badass]] in ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]''. Thompson gets the drop on Matt Parkman this way and taunt his [[Psychic Powers|telepathy]] by saying, "What am I thinking, Parkman?". Then [[Badass Normal|Mr. Bennet]] gets the drop on ''Thompson'' by doing this and answers for Matt by saying "Your last thought." And shoots him.
* The original ''[[Star Trek: The
* Another use of this trope comes courtesy in the ''[[Star Trek: The

* ''[[Deep Space Nine]]'' has a pretty good Decloak-Hello with Worf's appearance with the cavalry at the First Battle of Deep Space 9.
* More like a Bzzzt Hello: In a fifth-season episode of ''[[Babylon 5]]'', Lyta has mind-controlled a roomful of people:
Line 115 ⟶ 114:
* ''[[CSI: Miami]]'': Lt. Caine has this down to a fine art. If someone's pointing a gun at someone else in the last five minutes of an episode, chances are this'll happen.
* Saroyan interrupts Wendall this way in the ''[[Bones]]'' episode "The End in the Beginning".
* ''[[Battlestar Galactica
** Doesn't that mean this one is more of a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Click Helo]]?
** Also, in 'The Eye of Jupiter', while Gaius Baltar is praying for a vision, Chief Tyrol welcomes him home with one of these. It turns into a [["Hey You!" Haymaker]] when the Chief pistol-whips Baltar into unconsciousness.
Line 128 ⟶ 127:
* ''[[Against the Wall]]'' has Abby using this in her rescue of her partner Lina from a crazed stalker who wants revenge.
* Of all the [[Damn Its Good To Be A Gangster|gangsters]], [[badass]]es, and [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|Bitches in Sheep's Clothing]] hanging around ''[[Boardwalk Empire]]'', it's [[Token Wholesome]] Margaret Schroeder who pulls a Click Hello on {{spoiler|Eli, who's trying to strangle Nucky}}. With a ''shotgun''.
* ''[[Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries]]'': In "Unnatural Habits", Phryne is searching the ship and has just discovered the missing girls when she is interrupted by the click of an automatic being cocked behind her.

* ''[[Goblin Hollow]]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20110309100147/http://www.rhjunior.com/GH/00183.html here].
* Schlock from ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' is a master of the Ominous Hum Hello, as in [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20020127.html this case].
* Bangladesh Dupree [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20061220 pulls one of these on Ardsley Wooster] just as he's about to [[Shoot the Dog]]. [[Offhand Backhand|He gets his revenge a few pages later.]]

* In the machinima ''[[Leet World]]'', during the first challenge one of these occurs. Leeroy (Team A) gets snuck up on by Cortez (Team B), who is snuck up upon by Westheimer (Team A), who is in range of Ellis (Team B). Note that in this case it is literally completely pointless as there are in a competition where people can be revived, you get points for killing people and they have no reason to talk.
* Tex introduces herself to Agent Wyoming in this way in Episode 42 of ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'' and asks where his employer, [[
