Line 33:
== Fan Works ==
* Happens to Crowley in the ''[[Good Omens]]'' [[Fanfic]] ''[[Manchester Lost]]''. [[All of the Other Reindeer|The only demon in a crowd of angels]] ([[Badass Family|Aziraphale's "family"]]), they know he's there and (after deciding not to smite him immediately) instead take to talking about him, [[Transparent Closet|his]] [[He Is Not My Boyfriend|boyfriend]], [[Embarrassing First Name|who]] [[Embarrassing Middle Name|he was]] and [[My Greatest Failure|why he Fell]], and giving him an overall headache. A bit of a subversion though because eventually they DO try to drag him into the conversation: "You know, the reason I'm sitting in the dark is so you ''don't'' talk to me."
* Happens in the ''Bleach'' fanfiction ''The Hell Butterfly Effect'', where during Ichigo's meeting with the 13 Squads, Byakuya is telling Rukia to marry Ichigo. What follows may be the most awesome duologue example of this trope:
{{quote|'''Byakuya:''' *talking to Rukia* It is for the honor of the Kuchiki household, Rukia. Make sure the boy is aware of the large dowry that you have. Common people can be easily swayed by monetary gain.
'''Ichigo:''' I'm less then five feet away from you.
Line 41:
'''Matsuda:''' You guys know I'm right here. }}
* In the ''[[Death Note]]'' fic ''[[Ragnarok (fanfic)]]'' Light and L begin speaking of Mello like he's a highly contagious disease while he's in the room with them.
== Film ==
* There's a scene in ''[[Star Wars]] [[The Phantom Menace|Episode I: The Phantom Menace]]'' where Obi-Wan is trying to dissuade Qui-Gon from training the young Anakin Skywalker, repeating the Jedi Council's premonition that "the boy is dangerous". It's a shame that they're walking ''right past Anakin'' as he's arguing this.
* In the film ''[[Catch-22]]'', the doctor has a habit of putting his name on a certain pilots flight roster but not actually going along, so he can continue to get flight pay without the danger. It backfires horribly when the plane crashes and it's immediately noticed the Doctor was a passenger, as per the flight roster. The Doctor, standing right there watching the plane crash, protests and points out he's standing right in front of them, but the other characters immediately begin ignoring him and lamenting his death.
* In ''The Hammer'', Robert bitches out his coach for offering the main character Jerry (an overweight, 40-year-old white guy who's in the room) a chance to compete for a shot on the U.S. Olympic boxing team. Jerry tries to point out "You know, I'm right here. I heard everything you just said."
* This happens in ''[[Collateral]]'' when Vincent, the hitman antagonist, forces the lead character Max to go visit his mother in the hospital like he does every night just to keep up appearances and not appear suspicious when he's being held hostage for the night.
{{quote|'''Max''': Don't talk to me like I'm not right here!
Line 53 ⟶ 52:
'''Max's mother''': Why yes, you are! }}
* In the short film ''[[Blinky]]'', the protagonist's mother threatens to {{spoiler|order the titular robot to cook and clean him if he makes another mess}}, while the robot is suffering from a [[Logic Bomb]]-generating [[Heroic BSOD]]. {{spoiler|It turns out that, despite his freakout, Blinky was still hearing things and thus receiving orders. So the next time the protagonist made a mess...}}, well, some interesting food was served.
* ''[[Spice World]]'' has this exchange when Geri is caught by Mel B, wearing her boots.
{{Quote|'''Mel B''': Typical, typical Leo that is... isn't it. Borrowing stuff without asking me.
'''Geri''': No, That's Capricorn!
'''Melanie C''': Oy, don't you be starting on Capricorns!}}
== Literature ==
Line 117 ⟶ 119:
'''Rachel:''' Stop! Stop planning, and oh stop acting like I can't hear you! }}
* Aunt Agatha from [[Jeeves and Wooster]] has a habit of listing Bertie's faults to others while he's standing there. If he attempts to interject she normally silences him with an offhanded "Oh, be quiet, Bertie"
* In the ''[[Power Rangers Beast Morphers]]'' epsiode "Making Bad", Evox wants to use the Revitalizer to resurrect a villain from the past to serve as his army's new general. [[The Dragon|Scrozzle]] doesn't like this idea, claiming that the monsters who have already been brought back using the device are "nothing special", ignoring the fact that Sledge and his crew - who had been recipients of the device - are right there in the same room. Naturally, they're upset at this comment. {{spoiler|Ironically, Scrozzle's words would prove true later, as Sledge would meet his end at the hands of Goldar, the villain whom Evox uses the Revitalizer to restore.}}
== Newspaper Comics ==
Line 126 ⟶ 128:
* One ''[[Retail]]'' strip showed Marla, Cooper, and Val discussing their plan to get an annoying co-worker fired...right in front of him. {{spoiler|They were unsuccessful in getting rid of him.}}
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* In the ''[[Ravenloft]]'' setting, Raja Singh, The Hideous Man-Beast (a performer at the Carnival) is a [[Our Werebeasts Are Different| strange sort of reverse lycanthrope type of wereleopard]]; unlike most cursed lycanthropes who assume beast form on the nights of the full moon, he can only be human on those three nights. Most everyone who is not a member of the troupe thinks this means he is a near-mindless animal other times, and that he would not be able to understand or comprehend anything spoken in front of him. This is only ''partially'' true. He cannot understand when in beast form, but still remembers anything spoken in front of him during that time when he assumes human form. The Carnival has exposed more than one would-be mole this way.
== Truth In Television ==
Line 256 ⟶ 260:
'''Joe:''' Peter, you just whispered that to ''me''.
'''Peter:''' Wait, here he comes. }}
** In another episode, Peter and his friends are playing "Would You Rather", and Quagmire's question to Peter is, "Would you have sex with Cleveland if it meant you could have sex with [[Angelina Jolie]] immediately afterwards
* On ''[[Archer]]'', Lana tells Mallory that Barry is a douchebag. Then Barry points out that he's sitting right next to her. He doesn't seem too bothered, though.
* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'', "I Was a Middle-Aged Robot": When Major Monogram tells Perry that there's a more important mission than thwarting Dr. Doofenshmirtz, Doofenshmirtz (who was in the middle of a rant when Monogram interrupted) is understandably affronted.
