* A variant was used on [[Have I Got News for You]] where Paul Merton came close to giving the correct answer but not close enough. The then host, Angus Deayton, said "More precisely?" Paul Merton repeated exactly what he had just said but slower and with much more careful diction.

Comedy ain't pretty.

Alice says something Betty finds shocking. "What?!" Betty asks indignantly. Cindy, The Ditz, repeats word for word what Alice said, mistaking the indignance for not having heard.


Examples of Once More with Volume include:

Film

Austin: [giving a massage] How does that feel, baby?
Girl: Mmm, lower!
Austin: [deeper voice] How does that feel, baby?

Live Action Television

Rachel: Ross's mom once told me I was like the daughter she never had.
Monica: What?!
Phoebe: (loudly) She's like the daughter she never had.

Stan: We're being audited.
Dorothy: What?!
Rose: (loudly) He said you're being audited.

  • A variant was used on Have I Got News for You where Paul Merton came close to giving the correct answer but not close enough. The then host, Angus Deayton, said "More precisely?" Paul Merton repeated exactly what he had just said but slower and with much more careful diction.
    • And then there was this exchange from a different episode:

Alexander Armstrong: What would happen if we decided to shut down all the UK's power stations tomorrow?
Paul Merton: It'd go dark at night.
Alexander Armstrong: More sinister even than that.
Paul Merton: It'd go dark at night! Bwahaha!

Sam: If the kidnapper's still at large we might be able to lure him out.
Gene: How?
Sam: That note was a cry for justice.
Gene: And I ask again, only slightly louder, HOW?!!!

  • Used in one episode of Taxi, when Reverend Jim was taking the test to get a driver's license ...

Jim: Psst! Bobby! What does a yellow light mean?
Bobby: Slow down.
Jim: What, does, a, yellow, light, mean?
Bobby: Slow down!
Jim: What ... does ... a ... yellow ... light ... mean?
Bobby: Slow down!!
Jim: Whaaaat ...... dooooeeeess ...... aaaaa ...... yeeellllllooowww ......

Western Animation

Mr. Garrison: How would you like to go to the principal's office?!
Cartman: How would you like to suck my balls?
Mr. Garrison: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!
Cartman: Oh, I'm sorry...(produces a megaphone) HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SUCK MY BALLS, MR. GARRISON?

The Phantom: What did he/she say????
Raticus: He/She said that...
The Phantom: I HEARD HIM/HER!!!!!

  • A gem from the Ruby-Spears Mega Man cartoon:

Dr. Wily: What do you mean, he escaped?
ProtoMan: Escaped, as in departed, vamoosed, beat feet...
Dr. Wily: I KNOW what the WORD means!
