* In the ''[[
* ''[[The Vinyl Scratch Tapes]]'': It takes them until part three to figure out when they aren't on the air.
* ''[[Yet again, with a little extra help]]'' gives us one when, after Sarutobi welcomes the crowd to the Chunin Exam Finals, followed by Naruto and Sasuke performing their Firestorm combo. After {{spoiler|Orochimaru}} and Hiruzen comment on the jutsu, one of the latter's aides informs him his mic is still on, leading to the following:
{{quote|"What? The microphone is still on? This is why I hate technology... erm oh wait, they can still hear me. Um. YES! So welcome everyone to the Chunin exams! How do I turn this damn thing off again?"}}
* In the ''[[Calvin at Camp]]'' episode "[[Legends of the Hidden Temple|Legends of the Hidden Campus]]," Eddy is caught on tape admitting that the game is completely rigged. Luckily for him, no one seems to notice or care.
* In the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fanfic ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9051968/1/Harry-Potter-Unexpected-Animagus Harry Potter: Unexpected Animagus]'', Triwizard commentators Fred and George Weasley let slip to fellow broadcaster Hermione Granger that Harry is in love with her. Immediately afterwards, Fred turns around in his seat and spots the shocked expressions on the faces of Remus Lupin and Snuffles the Dog (aka Sirius Black). Fred then asks if they're still live. Remus and the dog nod in unison.

* ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 2'', with Tour Guide Barbie at the end. Undoubtedly one of the best parts of the movie.
* Darla Dimple in ''[[Cats Don't Dance]]''. She tells off Danny the cat, because she's angry he's upstaged her at her big premiere. Unaware that in her frantic attempts to sabotage him from doing so, she accidentally turned on one of the boom mics. So her boss and all of Hollywood hears her scream, "I should've drowned you all when I ''[[Power Echoes|FLOODED THE STAGE!!!]]''"
* Subverted in ''[[Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy]]'' -- "What? I'm on right now?... I don't believe you." Ron Burgundy in fact cheerfully and obliviously subverts this two more times in the movie, being compelled to say anything that's written on the teleprompter—something which takes a much darker (though still hilarious) turn when a mean-spirited prank causes him to drop the F-Bomb on live television.
* A time reverse case in ''[[Head of State]]'' when Mays make a bad comment regarding school shooting to the camera, thinks it wasn't on yet, but it was revealed that it was on all the time and is still recording. Lewis then use the tape to attack Mays' presidential campaign.
Line 176 ⟶ 174:
* Used in one of Eggman's PA announcements in ''[[Sonic Colors]]'':
{{quote|"Please beware of the spikes on the Asteroid Coaster -- they are sharp.... ''Really, we have to warn people about '''spikes?''' Like they won't notice the spikes, I mean come on -- the cars are '''nothing but spikes!''' Unbelievable! Wh -- uh -- my what is still on?''"}}
* During ''[[World of Warcraft]]''{{'}}s Operation Gnomeregan event, the [[Mad Scientist]] who's taken over the gnomes' underground city uses a "Brag-Bot" to taunt the heroes. First he launches into his rant, stops to make sure that the mike is on, and then starts over. Later, while gloating how his trump card will vaporize everyone, he wishes aloud that he could see his arch-rival's face before realizing that the mike is ''still'' on.
* In ''[[Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee]]'', the Vortaak leader finishes his speech, pauses for about two seconds, and realizes the camera is still rolling.
{{quote|"That is all. ([[Beat]]) ...Am I still on? Oh. Well. We now return you to... whatever it was you were doing. Idiots."}}
* In ''[[Subnautica]]'' you receive a radio message from Alterra HQ letting you know that they can't get a rescue ship out to you and that they've sent plans for a ship you can build to the computer in the ''Aurora''{{'}}s captain's quarters... in between ordering a ham and cheese from an office sandwich run, all of which is ''also'' sent as part of the message.

Line 185 ⟶ 184:

* In ''Swords'' a god [https://swordscomic.com/swords/XC/ makes this mistake].
