Line 59:
** [[Stargate SG-1|Never run with...scissors?]]
* Subverted in ''[[Stranger Than Fiction]]'' The narration means something, even the scenes that appear to be random filler fold into Emma Thompson's story, and when the narrator talks about objects and events being meant to save our lives, she is talking literally...and literarily.
* Criswell's narration in ''[[Plan 9 from Outer Space]]'' and ''[[Night Of The Ghouls]]'', both written and directed by [[Ed Wood (Creatorcreator)|Ed Wood]]. Neither examples are helped by the fact that the dialogue is extremely awkward or the fact that Criswell delivers it very oddly. You can tell he's reading it off of cue cards, likely without any prior rehearsal.
** In ''[[Glen or Glenda]]'', [[Bela Lugosi]]'s addled delivery of obtuse philosophical rants over [[Stock Footage]] of buffalo herds is [[Narm|memorable in a way Wood surely did not intend it to be]].
** The ''Plan 9'' narration is parodied in the biopic ''[[Ed Wood (film)|Ed Wood]]''.
