Line 79:
* ''[[Kung Pow! Enter the Fist]]'' is a [[Gag Dub]] of a played-straight Hong Kong kung fu movie, and has some fun with this:
{{quote|"Oh..."
"We are [[Hong Kong Dub|both ventriloquists, ventriloquists, ventriloquists]], we are both ventriloquists and we practice every day!"<br />
"He carries the baskets!"<br />
"He carries the paper roll!"<br />
"And we don't have cysts. But one thing is for sure my friends, we are ventriloquists!" }}
* In the versions of ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' released from 1983-2004, Darth Vader revealed some remaining inner goodness and saved Luke from Emperor Palpatine in stone silence. However, the 2011 Blu-Ray makes him say, "No!" a few times as Palpatine tortures Luke.
Line 105:
 
== Stand Up Comedy ==
* [[Patton Oswalt]], a comedian and voice actor, [http://youtu.be/7Kw4IE8Sr1Q talks about doing this for animated movies]. He then [[Lampshadeslampshade]]s the stupidity of this by sarcastically suggesting that this be applied to [[Crosses the Line Twice|footage of the Holocaust and 9/11]].
** Also, on ''Werewolves and Lollipops,'' in a rather meta example, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBguQZzXzyw Oswalt's audience has a longish pause as he sets up a scenario; an audience members shouts to fill the silence and Oswalt launches into a tirade about ruining silences.]
 
Line 113:
** That being said, you can have all the ''silence'' you want, as long as you're not showing a black screen.
* Variation: the original Japanese release of ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Rockman]] 6'' had silence over the "In the year 200X..." screen, and the music only kicked in once the main intro started. The American release (''Mega Man 6'') added ride bell-type percussion over said screen, and the intro music itself was replaced with [[The Jimmy Hart Version]] to fit.
* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 (video game)||Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]]'' is [[Memetic Mutation|well-known]] for its constant barrage of [[Captain Obvious]] comments the characters spout (to no one in particular) in each level. This trope has to be the reason.
* Performing random actions when the game can't be forced to progress faster (such as during a segment where the screen advances at a fixed pace) is common in [[Tool Assisted Speedrun]] videos. Sometimes this works to manipulate the RNG and actually has a purpose, though it is mostly to keep the viewer from being bored.
* The ''[[Gex]]'' series has the player character (voiced by Dana Gould) make a joke about the level he's in every 30 seconds or so.
