The Double Don't Know is closely related to [[One-Liner, Name. One-Liner.]] - simple, repetitive phrases used to provide closure to a scene or plot, including but not limited to: "I do, Billy. I really do," or, "It sure is, Billy. It sure is." etc. This variation is mostly a [[Dead Horse Trope]], though the namesake phrase(s) linger on. |

The '''Double Don't Know''' is a ''stock phrase'' trope. It has nothing to do with "what now?" cliffhangers that don't feature repetitive statements akin to those described above. It's also unrelated to Donald Rumsfeld's [[Memetic Mutation|famous]] [[Didn't See That Coming|Unknown Unknowns]] - "the things we don't know we don't know". |
