* The ''Cheez-its'' commercial with the "interrupting cheese" joke. The idea of all the ads is waiting for the cheese to mature, and there are always cheeses doing childish 'immature' things. This one has the cheese doing a knock knock joke about 'interrupting cheese' and then interrupting the guy's reply question.

* ''[[His Girl Friday]]'' is famous for this. To pack in more dialogue and allow to be interrupted without the audience missing anything essential that the characters were saying, superfluous words were added to the beginning and end of the sentences, so if you missed what the characters were saying when they talked at the same time, you could still follow the story.
* ''[[The Muppets (Filmfilm)|The Muppets]]'' has a scene where Kermit is trying to explain to Gonzo what's going on, but Fozzie keeps interrupting with suggestions about what he should say.

At one point, Monk even attempts to perform a fake-out, but the jackhammer doesn't start. Then Monk attempts to speak again...at which point the jackhammer begins making noise.
* ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'':
