Line 15: Being merely inconsequential or strange is not enough. All three criteria have to be met. If a scene is considered "borderline" it is likely not an example. <!-- The Trope Namer is ''[[All Dogs Go to Heaven]]'', [[Trope Codifier\|coined by]] [[The Nostalgia Chick]] and [[The Nostalgia Critic]] in their review of ''[[Fern Gully]]'' while commenting on another example. In the trope naming scene (in a movie that mostly deals with talking dogs, the afterlife and mafia undertones, somewhat strange itself) a big-lipped, Cajun-accented, bone-through-the-nose alligator takes a liking to the main character Charlie and forces him to sing a duet "Let's Make Music Together". While the alligator goes on to have a role in the plot later on, Charlie is noticeably very confused over the whole song. The Nostalgia Critic and The Nostalgia Chick have had to post supplementary videos on this topic, due to confusion on what does and does not count. Thus, it's a poor name for a trope. --> A Non Sequitur Scene is a moment, not a subplot or entire episode (For that we have [[Non Sequitur Episode]]). Also, it has to go against what is considered normal. Line 34 ⟶ 33: Confused annoyingly often with an [[Arcadian Interlude]]. ''Note: Some pages call this a "Big Lipped Alligator Moment", or a "BLAM". That name was coined by [[The Nostalgia Chick]] and [[The Nostalgia Critic]] in their review of ''[[Fern Gully]]'' while commenting on another example. The Nostalgia Critic and The Nostalgia Chick have had to post supplementary videos on this topic, due to confusion on what does and does not count. Also, it has nothing to do with voting the deletion of a video from [[Newgrounds]]. Any name that has to be explained in this amount of detail by the people who coined it is a poor name for a trope.'' ~~----~~ {{examples}}▼ ~~=== Non Sequitur Scenes By Medium ===~~ ~~{{subpages}}~~ ~~== Advertising ==~~ * You would think that it's impossible for anything as short as a TV ad to have a Non Sequitur Scene, but [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhm-22Q0PuM this ad] for Herman Cain (at the time a candidate for the [[American Political System\|2012 Republican nomination for President]]) proves us all wrong. It features Cain's Chief of Staff Mark Block talking about what Cain hopes to achieve by running...and then, towards the very end, out of nowhere, [[Random Smoking Scene\|a shot of him randomly taking a drag off his cigarette]].
