* In the ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|Harry Potter]]'' parody, [http://diogenes-sinope.blogspot.com/2007/07/potterdammerung-mega-spoilers.html ''Potterdammerung''], Voldemort does this while magically broadcasting his voice across Hogwarts, where the students hear the dark lord explain that he doesn't want pickles on his Big Mac.
* ''[[The Vinyl Scratch Tapes]]'': It takes them until part three to figure out when they aren't on the air.
* ''[[Yet

* 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.
Line 41:
== Films -- Animation ==
* ''[[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!!!]]''"

'''Brad Sherwood:''' Did you see the jugs on the girl in row 4? }}
* Used [[Running Gag|frequently]] on ''[[Reno 911!]]'' whenever the officers make announcements.
* A regular feature of ''[[Frasier]]'', which justifies the trope by having the title character repeatedly broadcast embarrassing or insulting comments on his radio show (in one instance actually having sex on the radio), unaware that he is on the air. Notable uses include:
** "The Adventures of Bad Boy and Dirty Girl":
Line 156:
== Tabletop Games ==
* The old airline joke was used as the basis of a ''[[Warhammer
{{quote|A squad of Sisters of Battle were all being inserted by dropship.

Line 278:
* CNN, covering the 2004 Democratic National Convention, cut to a live feed from producer Don Mischer's microphone, just in time to catch him upbraiding his staff for a mediocre balloon drop. [[Cluster F-Bomb]] with confetti!
* While being driven to his next appointment after a conversation with a local voter about immigration, UK Prime Minister [[Gordon Brown]] [http://news.nationalpost.com/2010/04/28/gordon-brown-apologizes-for-calling-a-pensioner-a-bigoted-woman/ referred to her as "a bigoted woman"]. After the audio made the news, he took a trip to her house to personally apologize. In between, he also failed to realise there was a camera filming him in the radio studio where the news was broken to him on air.
* Back when Oliva Munn was part of ''[[Attack of the Show!]]'', She did interviews around E3 2010. On one night she did an informal E3 Stream with Co-host Kevin in their hotel room. During the stream Kevin made comments about Olivia's sex life, not amused she decided to cut to commercial break and reveals her [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|persona]] to Kevin. Fast forward about four minutes later and she's about to turn the stream back on, but there's a problem...she never turned it off
* Similarly, during the 1989 election campaign, Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke referred to a pensioner who had just harrangued him during a meet-and-greet as a "silly old bugger". The muttered comment was recorded by a television crew accompanying the PM and quickly became front page news across the country.
* From Reader's Digest: an air traffic controller aboard a US Navy aircraft carrier didn't realize his mic was still on after talking to a pilot, saying "That guy [[Elmuh Fudd Syndwome|sounds just like Elmer Fudd.]]" After a long, awkward silence the pilot radioed back: "Be vewy vewy quiet. We're hunting submawines."
