Line 45:
* 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 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!}}

Line 116 ⟶ 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.}}

Line 125 ⟶ 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.
