Trick Dialogue: Difference between revisions

* An episode of ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'' featured Allison Cameron making a Freudian slip-up in front of a documentary crew by saying "I love House!" When next we see her, she's frantically trying to find some way of qualifying that statement without making matters worse and failing. On first reveal she is talking to a mirror; on second reveal, her current boyfriend is on the bench behind her looking put-upon for being forced to listen to this.

* This happens to Giles in 'Series/'[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'':

'''Buffy:''' Boy, I guess we never realized how much you liked that chair. }}

** Done again a few seasons later when a certain character we know and kind of love practices confessing his love to Buffy by talking to a mannequin wearing one of her sweaters and a blonde wig. He makes it about four sentences into the imagined conversation before it degenerates into mutual (half-imagined) verbal abuse, and he winds up beating it over the head with a box of chocolates.

== [[Music]] ==

* [[They Might Be Giants]] uses this in their song "Till My Head Falls Off":

Clearing his throat and smiling with his hands on the bathroom sink. }}
