Did I Just Say That Out Loud?: Difference between revisions

* In the unedited version of episode 6 of ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'', Yoko chews out Kamina for falling into an enemy trap [[Chivalrous Pervert|just so he could look at her and the girls' boobs]]. When Kamina justifies his actions by saying "there are some things a guy just has to see", Yoko blurts out that she would've let him see them any time if he'd have just said so first. Cue [[High-Pressure Emotion]].

* Hellbat in ''[[Transformers Victory]]'' privately gloats about how he's going to overthrow Goryu, Leozack, and Deathsaurus - while Goryu is standing right next to him. Fortunately for Hellbat, Goryu is an idiot.

* In the [[Masochist's Meal|Chinese Noodles]] arc in the ''[[Ranma ½]]'' manga, Cologne tried to get rid of a stock of horrendous noodles by setting a "noodle of strength" as the final prize in a food eating contest. Mousse revealed his plans to eat it himself... only for the Ranma, Ryoga and Kuno to all kick the tar out of him because they could hear him shouting in the kitchen.

* ''[[.hack|.hack//4koma]]'' [[Inverted Trope|Inverts]] this with the [[Alternate Character Interpretation|new-and-improved]] [[Designated Hero|Ki]][[Heroic Comedic Sociopath|te]]. Upon entering the [[Inevitable Tournament|requisite tournament]], Kite [[Licking the Blade|gleefully expresses his excitement]] [[Blood Knight|at performing a public PK]]. When his party members [[Double Take]], he ([[Stepford Smiler|cheerfully]]) replies, '''''"Oh, you heard me."'''''

 

 

== Fan Works ==

* This is a rather common trope to be used in romantic fan fiction when the two parties are caught in a [[Twice Shy]] relationship. One side will profess their feelings for the other by talking to themselves (frequently in a condescending, self-motivating lecture) while they believe the other to be out of earshot. Due to [[Rule of Romantic]], this usually ends happily when the object of their affections reveals that they had overheard as well as their own feelings, and the two get together (which was probably why the fan fic was written in the first place).

* A telepath's variant shows up in ''[[Divine Blood]]'' where Naiki Satomi and Tessa Testarossa who have a permanent telepathic link due to a close call with [[Loss of Identity|their minds merging together]]. Tessa is an experienced telepath and has good control over what her surface thoughts are. Naiki, meanwhile, is described by Tessa as "a TV with no volume control that changes channel randomly".

* In the ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' fanfic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4643462/1/Mad_World Mad World]'', this happens a lot to Zack. Done well, in that whenever it happens it is always from Zack's point of view and thus only revealed when someone responds to it. Lampshaded at certain points, with Zack commenting out loud that one doesn't need to respond if he said something at one point or silently hoping that he didn't say it out loud for a more serious situation.
