* Happens in ''[[Planetes]]'' when Cheng-Shun assures a friend that Hachimaki is a lot more subdued now than he was the last time they met. Guess who comes running past them playing space-ninja at that very moment?

* In ''[[Darker Than Black]]'', when Mao is captured by Evening Primrose, he assures his fellow prisoner that his partner, being a Contractor, would certainly not be foolish enough to attempt to rescue him. Hei is doing just that.

** Although, given the way that Kirk often falls backwards into crisis resolutions through random serendipity, this kind of thing may be exactly what Spock meant. Spock does have a wry sense of humor, and Kirk's avenue of escape does open up as a result of this fight.
* In ''[[Jurassic Park]]'': "We'll be alright as long as they can't open doors". Cue a raptor doing so, with some difficulty.
Line 55:
'''Riggs:''' "Hey sure! (zips his lips) Trust me."<br />
(Cut to '''complete chaos''' outside his house with sirens wailing, lots of policemen, firemen, medics, and a crowd of onlookers.) }}

** Extra funny in that O'Neill ''is'' a brilliant and savvy negotiator. Just highly unorthodox.
* In ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'', Ando insists that Hiro will never leave his side. He turns to look at Hiro for support, only to find he's walked off. Hilariously, when it cuts to Hiro, the movie playing in the background provides a [[Rimshot|cymbal crash]].

{{quote| '''Matt''': Where the hell did you go?<br />
Line 128:

** Another ''Angel'' example, from the episode "I Will Remember You": After Angel temporarily becomes human, Doyle mentions that Angel is now immune to the "perfect happiness" curse (implying he and Buffy can now have sex without repercussions) and says sarcastically that they're eating tea and crackers. Cut to Buffy and Angel enjoying some tea and crackers.
** Angel is explaining to Connor how, despite having supernatural entities on the payroll, Wolfram & Hart is still a boring lawfirm. Cue Spike getting punched through the doors, swearing bloody murder, and walking back in.

** Done again much later, with Florence concluding that she has to assume very dedicated and experienced programmers are helping with {{spoiler|Gardener in the Dark}}...while the final touches on automating its release are being done by a pissed-off intern, who is fired ''immediately'' after finishing.
