Sorry to Interrupt: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

 

Irene needs to talk to Alice and Bob. She goes to Bob's room, opens the door and sees Alice and Bob in a compromising position. "Ok," Irene thinks, "just slowly back out of the room and close the door."

 

 

Afterward, outside the door, the interrupter may start ranting, screaming or searching for [[Brain Bleach]].

A common variation is to play the scene from the other side of the door. Albert and Brenda are doing something innocent, and just at the wrong moment, someone opens the door. They're invariably caught when the potential for [[Not What It Looks Like]] is at its highest.

 

 

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* From ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'': "Wawawa wasuremono... Sorry. Enjoy yourselves!". Thus spoke Taniguchi when he wandered into a classroom and found Kyon and Nagato on the floor together, just as they had finished {{spoiler|fighting Ryoko}}.)

** Not to mention the multiple occasions when Kyon stumbles in on Haruhi molesting/changing Mikuru into a costume. Became almost a running gag within the first six episodes.

** In fact, this is how (male) Ranma and Akane [[Naked First Impression|first met]]. She walks in on him, gets a good look, calmly turns around and then frantically searches for something to drown him with.

* In ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', we have [[Adorably Precocious Child|Negi]] , who is posing as a fifteen year old with the help of a magic pill while having wounds treated by Ako, who is in love with older Negi. As she treats his wounds, Negi, who is naked, faints and falls on top of her. As Ako struggles to get Negi off her, Natsumi opens the door....... [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v22/c199/8.html only to quickly excuse herself and leave. Awkward....].

* In an episode of ''[[Saiyuki]]'', Gojyo and Goku are fighting (what else?) over the one bed in the hotel room they all share. The hotel maid who opens the door believes they are, well, not ''fighting'', and is highly embarrassed.

 

''"Never mind," Ramon said. It did not take long for Vash to hear a front door open and close.'' }}

* The first thing I thought of was actually the ''[[Invader Zim]]'' fan-made [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/332880 Most Horrible Short Ever].

 

== [[Film]] ==

* In ''[[The Producers]]'', Leo interrupts Max "feeling up the old lady", but Max has to prompt him to fulfill this trope:

''[slams the door]'' }}

* ''[[Airplane!]]''. When Otto the Autopilot starts deflating, Elaine tries to re-inflate him by blowing into a tube at his waist. Dr. Rumack walks into the cockpit and sees her apparently performing fellatio on Otto, then turns around and walks out with a stunned expression on his face.

* In ''[[Cars]]'', Lightning McQueen goes to talk to Doc Hudson and walks in on Sheriff getting a tune up, which, judging from McQueen's reaction, appears to be the car equivalent of a colonoscopy.

* [[Independence Day]]. Somebody walks in on what looks like a pilot proposing to another pilot.

 

== [[Literature]] ==

 

== [[Live Action TV]] ==

** In another episode, Joey walks into a room, where Ross suddenly accuses him of proposing to Rachel - Joey "realises" that "This isn't the right room!" and quickly escapes.

** When Monica catches Ross and Rachel kissing (long after they've broken up) she says: "I'm sorry, apparently I've opened the door to the past."

** Another time Cameron and Chase are making out in a janitor's closet. House opens the door suddenly and simply tosses his garbage out before leaving.

* Used and played with in ''[[Believe Nothing]]'' when Hannah walks in on the main character receiving a vigourous and suggestive back massage from his dogsbody.

'''Albuman:''' ... oh. }}

* Once in ''[[Matlock]]'', Matlock was being hugged by an old flame (I think), and is walked in on by assistants Cliff and Jerri. Jerri looks shocked, while Cliff says "Whoopsiedoodle," and drags Jerri back out the door.

* In ''[[The George Lopez Show]]'', Max catches George and Angie's sister kissing. Angie's sister, having just gotten divorced, wanted some loving and had grabbed George and started making out with him.

 

== [[Web Comics]] ==

 

== [[Web Original]] ==

** There's another hilarious incident when Phase figures out a new technique to fend off bullies- he can, by phasing just right, steal clothes off people's bodies and leave them unharmed. A number of his friends- and his girlfriend- walk in just in time to see him in front of an undressed mannequin holding women's underwear.

** Yet another incident occurs when Phase figures out a way to make everyone back off- after being asked for a favour from a regen called Peril, he decides to set up a scene where Peril verbally abuses him, he seems to snap and phases through Peril, [[Groin Attack|taking Peril's dick with him.]] To do so without anyone actually getting hurt, Phase gets Bugs to create a model penis. Cue everyone walking in just in time to see Bugs kneeling down next to his very erect penis. Including his girlfriend.
