Line 15:
* In the dub of episode 15 of ''[[Sgt Frog]]'', when the others imagine Keroro and [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Dark Momoka]] teaming up to [[Take Over the World|conquer the world]], the narrator warns, "But their dark union was not that simple." Cut to Dark Momoka informing the platoon, "Our dark union's not that simple."
** Used again in episode 22:
{{quote|
'''Keroro''': Why has Tamama dropped me down this previously unseen well? }}
** And in the first beach episode.
{{quote|
'''Momoka''': Look at them... and here I am ''stewing in the juices of my own anger''... }}
** This is obviously one of their favorite gags. In episode 3, the narrator talks about "the foulest of funks emanating from the Hinatas' basement". Natsumi complains by saying "Man, that is one foul funk."
* In an early episode of ''[[Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu]]'', we see a one of the animals kids put on their cell phone straps lying on the ground, and the narrator gives a quick explanation of what it is and who would have it. [[Idiot Hero|Yoshii]] picks it up and starts saying the same thing, at which point the narrator angrily points out he already said that.
* [[Inverted]] in an early episode of [[Dragon Ball]]:
{{quote|
'''Narrator''': It would seem that our heroes haven't seen the last of Yamcha... }}
* Used in the dub of ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia|Chibitalia]]'':

Line 38:
* Reversed in ''[[Plan 9 from Outer Space]]'', where one of the characters says of the aliens, "I wonder what their next move will be?" and the narrator says "What will their next move be?"
* Something similar happens at the beginning of ''[[Magical Mystery Tour]]'':
{{quote|
'''Ringo, narrating:''' ... said Richard. "Good afternoon," said the bus driver. }}
* ''[[The Rutles]]: All You Need Is Cash'':
{{quote|
'''Dirk McQuickly:''' Well, we're shocked.
'''Ron Nasty:''' Yeah, shocked.
'''Barry Wom:''' Shocked.
'''Dirk McQuickly:''' And stunned.
'''Ron Nasty''': Yeah, stunned.
'''Barry Wom:''' Very stunned. }}
* Done several times in ''[[Forrest Gump]]''.
* Done in ''[[George of the Jungle (film)|George of the Jungle]]'':
{{quote|
'''Cast:''' Awwwww...
'''Narrator:''' No. I said awe. A-W-E.
'''Cast:''' Oooooh...
'''Narrator:''' That's better. }}
** Also:

* In the short story "Rough Hew Them How We Will" in [[P. G. Wodehouse]]'s ''The Man Upstairs'', the narrator says, "Bredin [a ''restaurateur''] was a pig. He looked like a pig; he ate like a pig; he grunted like a pig. He had the lavish ''embonpoint'' of a pig. Also a porcine soul. If you had tied a bit of blue ribbon round his neck you could have won prizes with him at a show." Later, when a policeman enters the story: "It was at about five minutes after one that afternoon that Constable Thomas Parsons, patrolling his beat, was aware of a man motioning to him from the doorway of Bredin's Parisian Cafe and Restaurant. The man looked like a pig. He grunted like a pig. He had the lavish ''embonpoint'' of a pig. Constable Parsons suspected that he had a porcine soul. Indeed, the thought flitted across Constable Parsons' mind that, if he were to tie a bit of blue ribbon round his neck, he could win prizes with him at a show.
* Christopher Moore's ''[[A Dirty Job]]'' has a sort of delayed version: the first line of the chapter "A Fucked-Up Day" is the narrator saying "It was a fucked-up day." The first line of the following chapter is a character saying (of the day described in the previous chapter) "That was a fucked-up day."
* The Prince from ''[[Sleeping Beauty]]'' has this as his shtick in ''There's A Princess In The Palace''. [[Lampshaded]] by a pair of mice who have been commenting on each story.
* Used a couple of times in ''The Scrambled States of America'', narrated by Uncle Sam:
{{quote|
'''Kansas''': I'M NOT FEELING HAPPY AT ALL!
* Later, after the states have all switched places*
"And worst of all, Kansas, who had switched places with Hawaii because he was sick of being stuck in the middle of the country, was now stuck in the middle of NOWHERE, feeling lonesome and seasick."
'''Kansas''': *singing* In the middle of nowhere, feeling lonesome and seasick, my guitar is soggy and I feel so blue... }}

== Live Action TV ==
* ''[[The Middleman]]'' has a tendency to invert this with its [[Scene Shift Caption|Scene Shift Captions]]. For example, one episode ends with Ida smugly announcing the address she's discovered they have to go to:
{{quote|
:: And the caption for the next scene is<nowiki>:</nowiki>
{{quote|
God am I underpaid. }}
* ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]''. A milkman psychiatrist performs an odd psychological test on a <s>doctor</s> gynecologist.
{{quote|
[Cut to the office of a real psychiatrist]
'''Dr. Cream''': I would like to take this opportunity of complaining about the way in which these shows are continually portraying psychiatrists who make pat diagnoses of patients' problems without first obtaining their full medical history.
[Cut back to milkman and gynecologist]
'''Milkman''': Mind you, that's just a pat diagnosis made without first obtaining your full medical history. }}
* In the ''[[That 70s Show]]'' episode "I Can't Quit You Baby", when Hyde tells the (false) story of how he got together with Jackie:
{{quote|
''(fantasy clip, Hyde is in the basement, Jackie walks in)''
'''Jackie:''' I want you.
'''Hyde:''' It's obvious. }}
* One example in ''[[Penn and Teller Bullshit]],'' while discussing Gandhi:
{{quote|
'''Biographer''': He's sleeping naked with the girls and the girls are naked too!
'''Penn (narrating)''': Cool! }}
* ''Pushing Daisies'' was fond of this.
Line 107:
* Michael Frayn's ''Afterlife'' inverts the variety with stage directions.

And on the PC, {{spoiler|the achievement's subtitle: [[Up to Eleven|"This is that part"]].}} }}
Line 130:
* Happened a lot in the ''[[Lucky Luke]]'' cartoon. Most of the time, it was Luke himself repeating the narration, but now and then, some other character would do it for him...
* Happens in the [[Merrie Melodies]] short, "[[The Scarlet Pumpernickel]]"; the Narrator (Daffy Duck), announces, "The Lord High Chamberlain was simply furious."
{{quote|
'''Narrator''': But Milady Melissa was simply delighted.
'''Melissa:''' I'm simply delighted! }}
* The ''[[Histeria!]]'' sketch about the Boston Tea Party contains this:
{{quote|
'''Charity Bazaar''': We're not happy.
'''Pule Houser''': Hey, this tax is unfair!
'''Froggo''': We won't pay! ''[Redcoats surround them with their guns.]'' Unless they make us.
'''George Washington''': Then in 1767, Parliament passed the Townend act, which taxed tea, paper, glass, and lots of other items. Now the colonists were even less happy.
''[The Redcoats surround Froggo, Charity, and Pule with their guns again.]''
'''Charity Bazaar''': Now we're even less happy. }}
* The script for the unproduced ''[[Invader Zim]]'' episode "The Trial" includes this:
