* In one ''[[Scrubs]]'' teaser, the entire cafeteria finishes Elliot's old jokes for her, which causes her to shriek '''''"STOP FINISHING MY AWESOME JOKES!!!"''''' (And Zach Braff to [[Enforced Method Acting|react to the unexpected shriek]] with an "Oh my God!")

* Done [[Once an Episode]] on ''[[You Can't Do That on Television]]'', when they realize the current skit is [[Just the Introduction to The Opposites]].

'''Barth''': [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Duuuuuh... I heard that!]] }}

* Played for laughs on ''[[30 Rock|Thirty Rock]]''. Jenna and her boyfriend lampshade/outright parody this. The boyfriend suggests they announce their ideas for Halloween costumes at the exact same moment, and just "see what happens." Cue them both rattling off a bizarre idea for matching costumes (Natalie Portman and Pittsburgh Steeler--two 'black swans!') using the ''exact same wording.''

* ''[[M*A*S*H|Mash]]'' combined this with a [[Eureka Moment]] when Hawkeye realized what Winchester's poker tell was:

'''All''': When he's bluffing! }}

* Used a few times in ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]''

'''Shining Knight:''' (''miffed'') 'Tis a good story. }}

* An episode of ''[[Clone High]]'' had Abe and Gandhi repeatedly do this when designing a mechanized spoon, fork, and knife combination. Then it gets subverted on the last shot when Abe and Gandhi don't say the line in unison, and Abe angrily tells Gandhi something along the lines of "c'mon, we rehearsed this!"

* ''[[Kim Possible]]'': Kim and Ron would frequently find themselves saying the same thing, usually followed by Kim saying, "You owe me a soda." At the end of the fanfic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2349386/1/REUNION Reunion]'', Kim and Ron, on their honeymoon, say "I love you" in unison, after which Kim tells Ron, "You owe me a baby."
