Line 38:
* In ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', Ted is on a blind date at an unbearably loud dance club. After realising that his date is just nodding along politely and can't really hear a thing he's saying, he starts saying random silly things for the fun of it—then the music cuts out just in time for him to yell "I'm wetting my pants!" in her face.
** Later during the same episode, the club plays a different song with enough space during each beat that Barney and Marshall can talk during each lull.
* In the long running mexican [[Sitcom]] ''[[El Chavo del Ocho]]'' this happens very often, with everybody arguing until Profesor Jirafales or some authority figure makes everybody shut up,<ref>"Silencio. ¡Silencio! [[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|¡¡¡SI-LEN-CIO!!!]]"</ref> and only the naive Chavo still talks, ''always'' saying something insulting towards the authority person (such as referring to Profesor Jirafales as "Maestro Longaniza", as Don Ramón aften does).
{{quote|"Se me chispoteo."}}
** Subverted in at least one episode, when after a similar situation happens, it ends with El Chavo saying "And now I'm not sayin' anything".
