Line 19:
* The most blatant examples of this are from ''[[Friends]]'', where it would seem the characters are all deaf, and an invisible soundproof wall was found just behind all sofas.
** And '''menus''' when the characters being discussed are sitting at the same table...
* Happened all the time in ''[[Married...
** Given that it's [[Chew Toy|Al]] being talked about, he might still be able to hear them. They just don't care.
* Much like [[Shakespeare]]'s characters, Malcolm in ''[[Malcolm in
* The ''[[Animorphs (TV series)|Animorphs]]'' TV series had the heroes insanely hold most of their meetings in a crowded arcade/restaurant, where anyone around them could be one of the bad guys. In the books, they logically meet in the privacy of a barn.
** They did this in the books, too, albeit wit less sensitive information.
* Used repeatedly on on ''[[The West Wing]]''. On [[Blonde Republican Sex Kitten|Ainsley]]'s first day, she has to meet with two [[Jerkass|Jerkasses]] about a stupid thing they did, and suggests that they go out into the hallway rather than discuss it in their open-plan office. Being new, she doesn't realize that the hallway will be as full of people [[Walk and Talk|walking and talking]] as any given room. She leans in and says, "Okay, we'll keep our voices down." One Jerkass leans in long enough to sarcastically say, "Okay," then straightens up and they both spend the rest of the scene in normal poses talking at normal volumes, while she continues to lean and whisper. Can't get no respect, can't get no [[Pose of Silence]].
