Related to [[Fake Static]] for transmitted conversations.
{{examples
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* ''[[Tintin (Comic Book)]]'' is full of jokes like these when [[Absent
** Also much earlier in ''Cigars of the Pharaoh'', when Tintin awakes on a drifting sarcophagus and sees the Egyptologist in another, too far away to understand each other.
* At the end of ''[[BPRD]]: 1946'', Sgt. Maes and Trevor Bruttenholm try to shout over the din of a launching rocket. Neither can hear the other.
Line 33:
'''Logan:''' I can't hear you, ''headmaster Iceman!'' }}
== Fan Works ==
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!:
{{quote| '''Kaiba:''' Now, Yugi, prepare to suffer defeat at the hands of my--<br />
'''Yugi:''' ''(faraway)'' I can't hear you!<br />
Line 125:
** That's a bit of [[Genre Savvy]]; it's not too loud for her to serve drinks or make small talk with customers, but she'll invite you somewhere private to discuss 'business' she doesn't want exposed to a [[Seven Minute Lull]].
* In ''[[World in Conflict]]: Soviet Assault'', {{spoiler|Major Lebedjev}} secretly switches radio channels, when he orders general retreat, so that the [[Knight Templar]] Malashenko, who has moved too far ahead, doesn't come after the "traitors".
* [[Good Is Not Nice|The Paragon choice]] in the final dialogue with [[Magnificent Bastard|the Illusive Man]] in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' has Shepard quipping "Sorry, I can't hear you. I'm getting a lot of bullshit on this line." [[Shut UP, Hannibal|in his face.]]
* One of Mad King Thorn's jokes from ''[[Guild Wars]]'' Halloween events follows the Vaudeville "[[Banana in My Ear]]" joke, only with a pumpkin on his head.
Line 165:
'''Abby:''' Thanks, I used a new shampoo! }}
* There's a scene in an episode of ''[[Invader Zim]]'' where Dib and Zim are yelling at each other across a street, but the animators didn't put in any traffic, so it really comes off more as Zim being hard of hearing. So...um...PlayedWith, I guess. Yeah.
* Comes up twice in the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "Applebuck Season." Due to overworking, Applejack bonks her head on a tree branch, leaving her ears ringing, so when Twilight Sparkle comes over talk to her, it takes a few tries before she actually hears what the other pony says:
{{quote| '''Twilight Sparkle''': Applejack, can we talk?<br />
'''Applejack''': Can bees squawk? I don't think so.<br />
