Line 171:
***
"You look [[Road Apples|up to your knees in it]], lad," said the horse holder. }}
* In ''Catch22'':
{{quote|Appleby was a fair-haired boy from Iowa who believed in God, Motherhood, and the American Way of Life, without ever thinking about any of them, and everybody who knew him liked him.
"I hate that son of a bitch," Yossarian growled. }}
Line 192:
'''Zoe''': 'Course, there are other schools of thought. }}
** And a traditional one in the first episode: Mal tells Simon that Kaylee has died of a gunshot wound - after earlier promising that if she died, Simon and his sister would follow. When Simon finds out that Kaylee is alive and well, he says, stunned, "That man is psychotic." Cut to Mal, Jayne, Zoe and Wash laughing hysterically, as Wash chokes out, "You are psychotic!" (Mal, grinning, concedes, "I am a bad, bad man.")
*** Later, when being interrogated by Alliance officers, Zoe brushes off questions about her and Wash by saying they're "very private people". Cut to Wash saying that the first thing that attracted him to her was her legs.
** A rather dark one in Heart of Gold:
{{quote|'''Book''': "''No''... I only bury the dead, child. No one here's gonna die.
Line 198:
'''Jayne''': "There's people gonna die." }}
** [[Joss Whedon]] is simply the MASTER of this technique and variations there-of. It's gotta be like half of the humor element of any of his shows (especially the darker ones).
* An example from one episode of [[Eureka]] has one foot in [[Ironic Echo Cut|this trope]] and the other in [[Description Cut]].
{{quote|ZANE: [[The Sheriff|Carter]], [[The Smart Guy|Henry]], and [[Dr. Jerk|Stark]]. That's your [[Who You Gonna Call?|money]] [[Freudian Trio|team]]. ''They know exactly what they're doing''.<br />
Cut to Carter, Henry, and Stark crouching in the bushes, Carter holding a huge gun. <br />
Line 216:
{{quote|'''House''': Do a pet scan. Check his cervical spine. It's not gonna be good news. ''(Cut)''
'''Foreman''': ''(To the patient's father)'' Mr. Hall, it's not good news. }}
* ''[[Coupling]]'' does it a lot, generally involving the two genders talking alone. One of the best examples: Susan has found a porn video in Steve's VCR.
{{quote|'''Patrick:''' You can't tell anything from a title like Inferno.
'''Steve:''' Patrick, Inferno isn't the full title.
Line 226:
'''JD [inner monologue]:''' Even though the Janitor had basically kidnapped me and imprisoned me for a day in a water tower, as he helped me up, I couldn't help but feel there was hope yet for our relationship. }}
* The second example at the top of this page plays out almost word for word in an episode of ''[[Eureka]]''. In fact, the only difference was probably that the character in question was not, in fact, named Josh.
* Done frequently in ''[[Father Ted]]''.
** For example, in the first episode, Ted is delighted that he has been chosen to be interviewed for a TV programme on priests on remote islands. Cut to the office of the producers which shows that he was about the fiftieth choice.
** From ''Tentacles of Doom'': Ted says that all sorts of care and consideration go into the changing of the official class of holy relics. Cut to an office in the Vatican, where a priest idly presses a button on his computer keyboard and says "What about the Holy Stone of Clonrichert?" Second priest, not even looking up from his newspaper: "Whatever."
Line 234:
[Cut to Victor and Margaret trapped in a shed by a huge swarm of angry bees.]
'''Victor:''' Oh God, I wish I was ''dead!'' }}
* In ''[[That '70s Show]]'' episode "Radio Daze", Donna has just said over the radio that she doesn't have a boyfriend:
{{quote|'''Max:''' The point is, we're selling an image here, and an available Hot Donna is good for ratings.
'''Donna:''' Oh. Well, what the hell. Eric won't have a problem with this.
Line 297:
== Machinima ==
* ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'' does this several times:
{{quote|'''Church:''' Private Mickey was the first to go. He was halfway across the base when he started screaming bloody murder.
(Cut to Mickey spinning around and shooting)
Line 396:
* ''[[Dominic Deegan]]'' does this fairly often.
* [http://www.collectedcurios.com/SA_0302_small.jpg This] ''[[Sequential Art (webcomic)|Sequential Art]]'' strip.
* Reduced to parody in [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2001/05/01/episode-023-enter-magic-shop-guy/ this] episode of ''[[
* In ''[[Skin Horse]]'', concerning things [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=35429#strip6 you really don't want to know].
* ''[[Tales of the Questor]]'' inverted this when [http://www.rhjunior.com/totq/00555.html the duke tries to hire Quentyn to slay a dragon].
Line 534:
'''Phineas:''' Yes. Yes I am. }}
** That exchange, in various forms, turns into a [[Running Gag]] as the series goes on.
** Repeated in Roller Coaster; [[Musical Episode|The Musical]], except after Linda asks it (Candace responding, "Yes, yes he is.") we cut to a ''music and dance routine'' version of the exchange.
* [[Danny Phantom]]; in the episode "One of a Kind", Jazz invites a representative from ''Genius Magazine'' over to attempt to demonstrate that her parents were genii, while attempting to keep a lid on the Ghost Hunting...to little or no avail. Danny had just had a fight with a ghost, leaving his room wrecked, so when the representative came up to try to talk to him, he slammed the door in her face.
{{quote|'''Danny''': Jazz is going to kill me for that.
