Line 158:
* ''[[Zenon]]'': Zenon and Greg mutually are guilty of a fatal fumble on this one. At one point they are sitting side-by-side, facing the same direction, with awkward silence. Zenon tells Greg that if he wants to kiss her he should just do it already. After a pause, they both turn towards each other at the same time - and accidentally smash their faces into each other.
* Mikaela in the ''[[Transformers Film Series|Transformers]]'' film improvised and used this as an excuse why Sam was acting nervous and jittery when his parents came into his room: "He was hiding a girl." And his parents fell for it enthusiastically, actually really happy about it. Of course the real reason was that anxious alien robots were in the backyard.

* ''[[Imagine Me and You]]'': the long-awaited make-out scene between Luce and Rachel is interrupted by the sound of Rachel's husband's voice.
* ''[[The X-Files|The X-Files: Fight the Future]]'': When Mulder and Scully are about to kiss, Scully is {{spoiler|stung by a bee.}} Unless, of course, you watch the blooper in which Gillian throws David against the wall, kissing him, or a real deal deleted scene, in which the two actually do kiss, prompting Mulder to pick Scully up and go... offscreen.

* From ''[[Enchanted]]'', during the ball scene, Robert and Giselle were [[Dance of Romance|dancing together]], including Robert singing softly in Giselle's ear (when he earlier claimed that he didn't sing), leaning quite close to each other, when Nancy and Edward interrupted them.
Line 186:
* A much earlier example of the meddling robot (a la [[Star Wars|C-3PO]]/[[Spaceballs|Dot Matrix]]) appears in the [[Robert Sheckley]] short story ''Human Man's Burden''. Every time the man and the woman start edging towards expressing their true feelings, an obnoxious marrying-bot bursts in, ruining the moment. Some other robots finally physically restrain the intruder long enough to allow the couple to clinch.
* ''[[Thursday Next]]'''s time-traveling father does this to Thursday and Landen in the first book when he shows up (freezing time for everyone but himself and Thursday) to have a chat with his daughter about the invention of the banana—while she and Landen are having a moment.
* That's exactly what happens in ''[[Harry Potter and
** Later, Harry takes a turn as moment killer for Ron and Hermione - though he does have a good reason.
