Ironic Echo: Difference between revisions

** [[Pixar]] seems to enjoy this one. Both ''[[Toy Story]] 2'' and ''[[Cars]]'' used this with key lines of dialogue.

* ''[[Toy Story]]''. "It's not flying, it's falling with style!"

** "You have saved our lives. We are eternally grateful."

* ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'': Homer tells Marge that "in every marriage, you get one chance to say 'I need you to do this with me'" in order to convince her to join him in Alaska. Later, Marge says the same thing to Homer to get him to join her in saving Springfield. Homer's response: "That was the stupidest thing I've ever heard."

** And in "The End of Time'' Part Two {{spoiler|"Get out of the way"}}

** Also in ''The End of Time'' Part Two, consider {{spoiler|Rassilon's}} introductory scene after he vaporises a dissenting Time Lady. And then think back to the Dalek Emperor's final words to Rose and the Ninth Doctor...

** Also, "You never would... you coward!" echoes a previous episode, "The Doctor's Daughter" when the Doctor tells {{spoiler|the man who shot and apparently killed Jenny}} "I. Never. Would."

**** Another example from ''The End of Time'': The line the Doctor delivers when trying to convince the Master to join him on his travels ("You don't need to own the universe, just see it!") echoes the reply the Doctor gave the Master when the latter asked the Doctor to join ''him'' and his megalomanic plans.

*** Possibly double-subverted in that we don't quite see who it was that ends up giving the shot, but it looks from the back like one of the interns.

** Also, when J.D. feels responsible for a patient's death, and Dr. Cox explains it as a slippery slope and when you start going down that line, "you never come back." Later, when Cox's hasty actions kill three patients (one of which could've waited another month), J.D. states "Once you go down that road, you never come back." Cox then flatly states "Yeah... you're right," and walks out the door, not planning to come back.

* In the ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'' miniseries, the newly sworn-in President Roslin tries to convince Adama to leave the fight and run away, taking the fleet with him, saying that if the human race is to survive at all, they have to escape and "we have to start having babies!" Adama doesn't reply and simply leaves the room, but later on he apparently realises the sense in the plan while watching Billy and Dee flirting, causing him to comment under his breath "They'd better start having babies." to the confusion of the people around him.

** "Is that an order?"

** [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0796.html Stop] [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0808.html talking.]

*** Don't forget the [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0795.html scene that just preceded it], echoing [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0114.html this].

* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'', the Demon King reacts to being stabbed with Chaz with the line, "[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/060503 What is that blade?]" Later, when Torg is being tested by his own subconscious during the Wayang Kulit saga, {{spoiler|Oasis}} reacts in the exact same way when he stabs {{spoiler|her}}. Odd, because Chaz wasn't even glowing red on the later occasion...

** Also, there's "Weird girl, Sasha," which gets repeated over and over again by almost all the (sane) characters... and then Sasha gets a chance to throw it back at them : "Weird guy, {{spoiler|Torg}}"
