* Venezuelan [[Sketch Show]] ''[[Cheverisimo]]'' had a lot of sketches in that vein. The most famous of those was one where a pair talked about third person and their naïveté (or about some naive act they committed themselves), and when they were to say "because I/you/he/she/them are such a..." they were always interrupted by a bag salesman crying "Bolsa!". (In Venezuela, "bolsa", besides his "bag" meaning, is also an euphemism for "idiot" or "naively dumb").
** A similar sketch has people discussing someone's hotness and what they intended to do with that person, when they were interrupted by a machete-bearing country salesman crying "¡Machete!", who was covering his groin. ("Darle machete" is a somewhat rude way of saying [[Intercourse With You]]).
* Often inverted hilariously on the "Whose Line" sketch of ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway? (TV)|Whose Line Is It Anyway]]'', a game where performers have to perform a skit and, at various times, pull out some lines previously written by the audience and use them as if they were what they had been about to say. Much of the humour in this game involves totally storyline-inappropriate lines being pulled out, and the performers trying to segue them in with the rest of the performance.

* In an episode of ''[[Family Guy]]'', a Wall Street trader is on the phone to his company relaying some important information about the state of the stock market and is hit on the head by a stray golf ball causing him to say: "...so be sure to buy lots of [blow to the head] [[Non Sequitur Thud|Waffles! Tasty waffles with lots of syrup!]]" Cue a scene of Wall Street traders shouting "waffles!" and then, oddly, Japanese traders going crazy screaming "Waffur!".
