"[[The Take|Takes]]" or [[Reaction Shot|Reaction Shots]] are a staple, in live action and animation.
The [[Double Take]] is when the actor glances at something or someone without much emotion and turns away, then, in a moment of realization, snaps the head around with a big expression. Sometimes this can be done as a Triple Take, but take it much further and you move into the realm of parody.
Line 40:
== Films -- Live-Action ==
* In the film version of ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings]]: The Two Towers'' Pippin does one of these when he realizes that the tree he is climbing is, in fact, sentient.
* The French soldier in ''[[Monty Python and
* In ''[[Monty Python's Life of Brian]]'', after Brian falls into a passing spaceship, the two aliens inside do a double-take at the sight of him. More exactly, their ''eyestalks'' do a double-take.
* A rather (in)famous one in the [[James Bond (film)|James Bond]] movie ''[[Moonraker]]'', with [[Animal Reaction Shot|a Venetian pigeon]] doing a Double Take at Bond passing by in a gondola-hovercraft.
** Another in ''[[You Only Live Twice]]'' when Osato sees Bond in the SPECTRE control room.
* Alan gets one in ''[[The Hangover]]'' when he's peeing, sees a tiger in the bathroom, continues to urinate, then turns at the tiger again in utter horror and panic.
* ''[[TMNT|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze]]'' features not a double take, but a triple take when Keno notices the Turtles running up behind him.
* In ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'', when Han Solo instructs C-3PO what to say to the Ewoks, and keeps pulling him back for new orders, finishing with "Hurry up, will ya? Haven't got all day!" the droid responds with a double take.
Line 81:
* In an episode of ''[[Fawlty Towers]]'', Basil does this. He's in the lobby as per usual, when the Major casually walks past him carrying an enormous shotgun. Made even funnier by the fact that he's got it to kill 'Basil'.
* In the first series of ''[[Blackadder]]'', when Edmund sees the ghost of Richard III.
* In ''[[Sister, Sister]]'', Tia is being told off for causing the star player of High School to become dangerously close to flunking due to her tutoring skills. Tia denies that she was doing it, and also denies ever tutoring him. However, mid-sentence, she realizes... cue double take, Tamera apparently disappearing when she was present beforehand, and then a cutaway to the outside of the school with Tia's voice screaming "TAMERA!" at the top of her lungs and in a long manner.
Line 100:
== Web Animation ==
* Tucker does this in ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'' Season 4, when confronted with Crunchbite for the first time.
* Seen in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGtd0KkOvG4 this satirical animated short (from 6:40 to 7:42)] of ''[[Command

** It's a jibe at the game's [[Artificial Stupidity]]: the program's pathfinding tendencies to lead one's units through the shortest route possible, even if it isn't the safest way around. It's [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by the Commando that ordered the Harvester to come home and the Harvester's seemingly [[Simpleton Voice]].
Line 117:
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. Aang does a big one at the end of episode 12, Book 2, when he reaches the top of the Ba Sing Se wall and sees for the first time the Fire Nation's [[This Is a Drill|Giant Drill]].
* ''[[Cat Dog]]''. When Cliff and Lube find out Shriek is a girl, they QUADRUPLE TAKE.
* Occurs about [[Once Per Episode|once per]] [[Rankin Bass]] [[Christmas Special]].
* ''[[The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat]]'', after Felix is bummed out that everyone has a magic bag like him:
{{quote|'''Roscoe:''' ''(flying through the air, hand stuck in out-of-control magic bag)'' Hi, Felix.
