Talking Is a Free Action: Difference between revisions

Line 396:

* In ''[[Danny Phantom]]'', in the midst of heated battle, foes often seem to just stop and let Danny finish his superheroic, corny jokes.

** A subversion of this appears as well. Danny apparently has no qualms about attacking Technus during his usual lengthy monologues.

* In ''[[The Simpsons]]'', this occurs whenever the family is watching a [[Coincidental Broadcast]]: They all briefly stop to have a conversation regarding the report, spew pop culture reference jokes, bring up past adventures related to it, etc. then when they finally get back to watching, the report is exactly where they left off, almost as if the world stopped just for their conversation. Naturally, its been [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] a few times.

* In ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', this occurs whenever the family is watching a [[Coincidental Broadcast]]: They all briefly stop to have a conversation regarding the report, spew pop culture reference jokes, bring up past adventures related to it, etc. then when they finally get back to watching, the report is exactly where they left off, almost as if the world stopped just for their conversation. Naturally, its been [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] a few times.

** Also directly parodied during Homer's insanity pepper-fuelled hallucination: "An oncoming train! And so little time to get out of the way! ... Now less! ... Now NONE!!"

* ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man]],'' though a very [[You Fight Like a Cow|talky]] series by nature, has a notable [[Subverted Trope|subversion]]. When a net is launched at Spider-Man from behind, he takes the time to say "Woah! My [[Spider Sense]] is tingli--!" only to be caught in the net before he can finish. Afterwards, his sense is shown, but never announced again.
