Line 2:
Bob has the situation under control, and is [[As You Know|explaining it to his partner, Alice]]. While he initially thought everything was fine and going to plan, it's only once he stops to think about it and hears himself say it aloud that he realizes how much trouble he and Alice are really in.
Essentially, a case of in-universe [[Fridge Logic]] catching up to the characters, can be played for laughs or drama. Can be triggered by the listening party's [[Let Me Get This Straight...]] putting a new perspective on Bob's explanation.
The [[Oh Crap]] can also be simply that there ''really is'' [[No Time to Explain]].

* In the second season episode of ''[[White Collar]]'' called "By the Book" there is a [[Let Me Get This Straight...]] moment when Peter points out the flaw in the Perfect Exchange but later when Mozzie figures it out its more of one of theses as he exclaims 'There is no middle man!'
* ''[[Firefly (TV)|Firefly]]'' plays with this in the episode "Out of Gas". The crew of Serenity is in a dire situation with the life support system failing. They are in a deserted region of space with little chance of any ships wandering around there. Wash has lost all hope, when Mal suggests a way to boost the SOS signal.
