== Fan Fiction ==
* In the [[Haruhi Suzumiya]] fanfic ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero (Fanfic)|Kyon Big Damn Hero]]'', {{spoiler|Kyon and his father}} have a chat. {{spoiler|Kyon}} thinks {{spoiler|his father}} found out about his connections to a [[Yakuza]] family. {{spoiler|His father}} is actually talking about an [[Arranged Marriage]].
** Earlier, {{spoiler|Kyon and Mori}} had a conversation about protection. {{spoiler|Kyon}} thought they were talking about bulletproof armour when actually...
*** Which started when {{spoiler|Mori}} misunderstood a comment about people ''literally'' [[Innocent Innuendo|sleeping together]].
Line 48:
== Film ==
* The [[Bill Murray]] movie ''[[The Man Who Knew Too Little (Film)|The Man Who Knew Too Little]]'' is ''ninety-four solid minutes'' of this trope. Bill Murray plays a [[Hawaiian
* ''[[Moulin Rouge]]'': When Christian and Satine are talking in the Elephant, he's trying to read his poetry to her, but she thinks he's talking about sex.
* In the second ''~Charlie's Angels~'' movie, the Alex's boyfriend starts complaining about Charlie, causing the distraught father to think that Charlie is some kind of pimp.
Line 72:
* ''[[Sideways]]'': Paul Giamatti's poetic description of why he loves Pinot Noir probably isn't about wine.
* In ''[[Touch Of Pink]]'' Alim and Giles discuss a man who's played an important role in their lives. Giles talks about the [[Jerk Jock|guy]] he's been sleeping with, Alim talks about his imaginary friend, and both are surprised that the other already knows.
* In ''[[Being There]]'' (both movie and source novella), the vast majority of the conversations [[Seemingly
* In [[Billy Wilder]]'s ''The Emperor's Waltz'', the Emperor is suggesting the breeding of two poodles. The general he is talking to believes they are discussing an [[Arranged Marriage]] for his daughter.
* A very good one happens in the first ''[[Shrek]]'' movie when Shrek overhears Donkey's conversation with Fiona about {{spoiler|her turning into an ogre at night. Because he hears only part of the conversation, when she says, "Who could love such a hideous, ugly beast?", he thinks she's referring to him.}} The confrontation he has with her the next day is very much two different conversations:
Line 176:
* This trope is the basis of the ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway]]'' game "Press Conference", where one of the players plays a certain person holding a press conference, but has no clue who he is or what he's done, whereas everyone else playing reporters does, and must try to clue him in on it.
* Done for rare dramatic effect on ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. Buffy and Xander go to talk to Spike, who seems distracted and occasionally says things that don't make sense. Since he's been a bit nuts since getting his soul back, we don't think anything of it. Then we see that Willow is also there, having unconsciously cast a spell that prevents her and the other Scoobies from sensing each other at all.
* A dark, [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism|*dark*]] variant in the last episode of ''[[Blake's Seven
