<nowiki>*</nowiki>''[huddle*]''
 
Planning a [[Zany Scheme]]? Huddle! Organizing an [[The Infiltration|infiltration]]? Huddle! Have to get your team [[Rousing Speech|fired up]] for the game-winning Hail Mary toss? Huddle! Want to discuss whether or not you should let [[The Mole]] [[Welcome Back, Traitor|back on the team]]? Huddle! Huddles solve everything!

{{examples}}
== General ==
* Every football movie ever. Actually, every sports movie ever. Actually, just every sport. Actually, you know what? This happens all the time in [[Real Life]].
** Fun fact: the huddle was invented by a football team from a college for deaf students, allowing the players to plan the next play without telegraphing it to the other team via hand signals.
 
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Bleach]]'' anime episode 146. When Nel and her friends think that Ichigo and the others are bad guys, they go into a huddle to decide what to do.
Line 38 ⟶ 34:
* Used in ''[[Red Tails]]'', in which dozens of pilots form a massive huddle to pray and [[Crowd Chant]], psyching themselves up for a crucial mission.
 
== [[Live -Action TV]] ==
* The heroes in the ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]''-featured ''Time of the Apes'' do this at one point, prompting Crow to state their plan as "We'll bang our heads together and walk around in a daze!"
* Families conferring for an answer to steal on ''Family Feud''.
* In the classic ''[[Mork and Mindy]]'' episode, "Mork's Mixed Emotions," as a inversion of it. Mork, whose emotions are each presenting themselves as separate personalities, leans down as to confer with them in a ''one person'' huddle.
* One episode of ''[[The Monkees (TV series)|The Monkees]]'' had a battle scene where the [[Mook]]s would attack the Monkees, suffer a setback, and go into a huddle with the [[Big Bad]], presumably to get tactical advice, then return to fighting. Again and again ... until the moment when it turned out the most recent setback had {{Spoiler|clobbered all the Mooks, and now it was the Monkees huddling with the villain, who '''didn't notice''' until}} they captured him.
 
== [[Theatre]] ==
Line 56 ⟶ 52:
* Also spoofed on [[The Simpsons]], when the family huddles to think of a plan to get their counselor out of a tree. (Long story.) Homer begins whispering, while Lisa talks in her normal voice...
{{quote|'''Homer:''' ''It's a huddle. You have to talk like this.''
'''Lisa:''' ''Fine, I'll talk like this.'''
'''Homer:''' WHAAAT?! }}
** And then it turns out the wolves and cougars at the bottom of the tree the counselor is in are ''also'' huddling and whispering.
* The audience-participation version appears in the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E15 The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000|The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000]]", when the Apple family gets into a huddle to discuss whether or not to accept the Flim/Flam brothers' partnership deal. The camera whips around to each member in turn, and ends to reveal that Flim and Flam have ''also'' joined in their huddle.
** Also occurs in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E19 Putting Your Hoof Down|Putting Your Hoof Down]]", when motivation trainer Iron Will and his entourage consider whether they should fight Fluttershy's refusal to pay for his seminar (because she was not "completely satisfied" as he had guaranteed).
 
== [[Real Life]] ==
* Every football movie ever. Actually, every sports movie ever. Actually, just every sport. Actually, you know what? This happens all the time in [[Real Life]].
** Fun fact: the huddle was invented by a football team from a college for deaf students, allowing the players to plan the next play without telegraphing it to the other team via hand signals.
