Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~Waking1_4583~~Waking1 4583.jpg\|link=The Order of the Stick ~~(Webcomic)~~\|~~right~~frame]] Alice is in a coma, is sleeping or is otherwise unconscious. Upon waking, a non sequitur bursts from her lips. Line 7: Can overlap with [[Un Paused]]. Not to be confused with a [[Cloudcuckoolander\|Walking Non Sequitur]] who just talks like this all the time. {{examples}} == Anime and Manga == * In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]] [[The Movie]]: [[Artifact of Doom\|The Pyramid of Light]]'', after Yugi wakes up from some kind of magical attack-induced [[Mushroom Samba]], he asks Tea to "read me the story about the bunny".▼ * One bit in ''[[Lucky Star]]'' has Konata being awakened in class - when she wakes up, she says "Potemkin!" (While it was history class, that wasn't what they were studying at the time.) == ~~Anime/Manga~~Comic Books == ▲* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh]] [[The Movie]]: [[Artifact of Doom\|The Pyramid of Light]]'', after Yugi wakes up from some kind of magical attack-induced [[Mushroom Samba]], he asks Tea to "read me the story about the bunny". == Comics ==▼ * When Stephanie Brown, the third ''[[Batgirl]]'', is woken up by her mom when she oversleeps her first words are "...[[Crowning Moment of Funny\|Kill you]] [[Abraham Lincoln]]..." == ~~Fanfiction~~Fan Works == * Subverted in ''[[~~Hogyoku Ex Machina (Fanfic)\|~~Hogyoku Ex Machina]]''; [[The Medic\|Unohana]] thinks this is happening when Ichigo wakes up after a two day coma and, when asked about his previous fight, answers with "[[Big Bad\|Aizen]]… [[One-Winged Angel\|turned into a butterfly]]." [[Equippable Ally\|Zangetsu]] has to inform her that it actually happened.▼ ▲* Subverted in ''[[Hogyoku Ex Machina (Fanfic)\|Hogyoku Ex Machina]]''; [[The Medic\|Unohana]] thinks this is happening when Ichigo wakes up after a two day coma and, when asked about his previous fight, answers with "[[Big Bad\|Aizen]]… [[One-Winged Angel\|turned into a butterfly]]." [[Equippable Ally\|Zangetsu]] has to inform her that it actually happened. == Film == * In ''[[A Goofy Movie]]'', Goofy wakes up and asks Max "How many cups of sugar does it take to get to the moon?" Max answers "Three and a half...?", to which Goofy responds by falling asleep again. * In ''[[Star Trek IV: ~~the~~The Voyage Home ~~(Film)~~\|Star Trek IV the Voyage Home]]'', as they're bringing Chekov out of unconsciousness, Bones asks him his name and rank to see if he's all there. Slightly unfocused, he gives them "Pavel Chekov" as his name, then gets a big grin on his face and says, "Rank: Admiral..." * ''[[Bananas]]'' - as [[Woody Allen]] is roused after being knocked out, he's moaning "...no more Polish women!" * ''[[Harry Potter and ~~The~~the Prisoner of Azkaban (novel)\|Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]'' had this little gem... {{quote\| '''Ron''': ''(suddenly sits up awake in bed)'' [[Crowning Moment of Funny\|Spiders... want me to tap-dance... I don't wanna tap-dance.]]~~<br />~~ '''Harry''': ''(deadpans)'' You tell those spiders, Ron.~~<br />~~ '''Ron''': Okay. ''(passes out)'' }} * ''[[Finding Nemo]]'' - After the incident with the sharks, Dory wakes up screaming "Look out! Sharks eat fish!" ** Dory is good with these. She also has "Zzz... the sea monkeys have my money... Mmm... yes, I'm a natural blue..." * ''[[Twice Upon a Time (1983 film)\|Twice Upon a Time]]'' - Would-be actress Flora, after being knocked out during her "rescue" by Rod Rescueman, mutters "What's my next line?" as she regains consciousness in Rod's bachelor pad. * In ''Hot To Trot'', when Bobcat Goldthwait is being woken up, he mumbles, "I don't wanna go to school..." * Beans in ''[[Rango]]'' tends to freeze up at random (it's a survival trait for her species, but "her switch is broken"). When she recovers... no one is sure ''what'' was going through her mind while she was frozen, but it was probably interesting. Line 38 ⟶ 35: == Literature == * ''[[Harry Potter and ~~The~~the Order of ~~The~~the Phoenix (novel)\|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'' has Mundungus Fletcher falling asleep during a meeting. After the meeting is over, he then wakes up, "Nhh... Are we voting? I 'gree with Sirius!"▼ ▲* [[Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix]] has Mundungus Fletcher falling asleep during a meeting. After the meeting is over, he then wakes up, "Nhh... Are we voting? I 'gree with Sirius!" ** The first book has another example: When Hagrid comes to the hut on the rock to pick up Harry, he announces his presence with loud knocks. Dudley is startled awake. "Where's the cannon?" * ''Word Smart Junior'' has one scene where Barnaby, waking from a nightmare about his parents forcing him to take ballet lessons, starts muttering incoherently: {{quote\| "Tights. Tight-fisted fish in a peddle of pickles. I said don't to be glimming my tulip, pilgrim. No and no again! Time to pay the spleen!"}} * In ''[[~~Discworld (Literature)/~~Going Postal (Discworld)\|Going Postal]]'', Moist von Lipwig has a crazy dream about "bottled wizards, all shouting his name", and shouts "Some of them were covered in jam!" as he's awakened by Mr. Pump. [[It Makes Sense in Context]]. * ''[[Artemis Fowl ~~(Literature)~~\|Artemis Fowl: The Atlantis Complex]]'' has Foaly waking up [[It Makes Sense in Context\|after Holly knocked him out]] saying, "Not the stripy ones! They're just little babies." As soon as he realizes he's awake he asks Artemis if [[Did I Say That Out Loud\|he said that out loud.]] * In the [[Lord Peter Wimsey]] novel ''Clouds of Witness'', Parker falls asleep in front of the fireplace while waiting for Wimsey. As Wimsey enters, Parker wakes up and says: "The glass-blower's cat is bompstaple". In the dream that Parker just had, this is the solution to the mystery. Awake, he can't even remember what "bompstaple" meant. * In book 7 of [[~~Rangers~~Ranger's Apprentice]], Will wakes up after nearly dying of thirst to find Umar bent over him, pouring water down is throat. Struck by the man's physical appearance, all he can say is, "...That's a big nose." == ~~Newspaper~~Live-Action ~~Comics~~TV == * [[I'm Alan Partridge\|Alan]] [[Knowing Me, Knowing You... with Alan Partridge\|Partridge]] usually says something odd when waking up from his...well, just watch the show.▼ * In an early episode of ''[[~~Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)\|~~Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', Willow has been sleeping over an open book and suddenly bolts upright, crying, "Don't warn the tadpoles!" When Giles expresses surprise, she sheepishly admits, "I... I have a frog fear."▼ * In ''[[Peanuts]]'', whenever Peppermint Patty is sleeping in class, she often wakes up shouting something like "I'm awake, I'm awake! The answer's twelve!"▼ ~~== Live Action TV ==~~ ▲* Alan Partridge usually says something odd when waking up from his...well, just watch the show. ▲* In an early episode of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)\|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', Willow has been sleeping over an open book and suddenly bolts upright, crying, "Don't warn the tadpoles!" When Giles expresses surprise, she sheepishly admits, "I... I have a frog fear." ** Another example: Buffy wakes up Spike and he mutters, "I'm drowning in footwear!" * During the aftermath of the 2000 presidential election, correspondents at ''[[The Daily Show]]'' were working around the clock to keep up with what was going on. [[Stephen Colbert]], caught napping at the desk: "[http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-november-8-2000/barn-burner If ifs and ands were pots and pans, there'd be no work for tinkers]!" Line 62 ⟶ 53: * In an episode of [[The Big Bang Theory]], Sheldon was woken up in the middle of the night and immediately yelled "DANGER! DANGER!" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epHpXuPjy8c Clip here.] ** From another episode: {{quote\| '''Leonard Hofstadter:''' Sheldon, can I talk to you for a minute?~~<br />~~ '''Sheldon Cooper:''' [waking up] I want another cookie, Meemaw.~~<br />~~ '''Leonard Hofstadter:''' It's just me.~~<br />~~ '''Sheldon Cooper:''' But Meemaw was just making cookies. }} * In an episode of ''[[MASH (TVtelevision)\|Mash]]'', Radar tried to wake up Klinger, who muttered, "Ma, I don't ''wanna'' go to school today, I've got a headache." Radar identified himself, to which Klinger replied, "Radar, I don't ''wanna'' go to school today!" ''[[The Jack Benny Program]]'': Jack asks Rochester a question (while Rochester is driving), and Rochester is startled awake and yells, "Put the coffee on honey!". * For a while, ''[[Everybody Loves Raymond]]'' had this as a [[Running Gag]], with Raymond being woken and blurting out things like "There's pudding everywhere!" or "It's all squishy!" * Once on ''[[White Collar]]'', [[Conspiracy Theorist\|Mozzie]] woke up saying, "Let me see your warrant!" * In ''[[The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin]]'' Uncle Jimmy, who had previously been complaining about the shortcomings of public transport on the island of Malta, is awakened from a doze and shouts: "Well, why ''don't'' you have Red Rover tickets,<ref>a ticket allowing unlimited travel on London buses and tubes for a single day</ref>, you Maltese fool?" It was made worse because he was in church at the time. At a funeral service. * In one episode of ''[[~~Boy Meets World (TV)\|~~Boy Meets World]]'', Cory says "No [[Monster Clown\|clown]]! No!" when Shawn wakes him up from a nap. This joke was later reused in another episode several seasons later when Topanga wakes up Shawn. * In ''[[Better Off Ted]]'', Dr. Bhamba wakes up and shouts "Crocodiles!" Though we do get an [[Crowning Moment of Funny\|explanation]]... {{quote\| "I was having a dream, and all I remember was a curious lack of crocodiles, so I began calling out for them."}} * In an episode of ''[[~~Criminal Minds (TV)\|~~Criminal Minds]]'', Reid wakes up after {{spoiler\|being poisoned by anthrax and nearly dying}} and asks Morgan, "Are you eating jello?" == Newspaper Comics == ▲* In ''[[Peanuts]]'', whenever Peppermint Patty is sleeping in class, she often wakes up shouting something like "I'm awake, I'm awake! The answer's twelve!" == Video Games == * ''[[Ratchet and Clank Going Commando]]'' - Clank's being held captive and tortured by the Thief. When Ratchet rescues him Clank's saying "The last digit of Pi is..." == Web Original == * On ''[[~~Homestar Runner (Web Animation)\|~~Homestar Runner]]'', in "[https://web.archive.org/web/20131106155424/http://www.homestarrunner.com/ween05.html Halloween Potion-Ma-Jig]", Homestar awakens a half-buried, unconscious Strong Sad, who mumbles "mineral water... [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Halloween_Potion-ma-jig wha?]" as he awakens. Similiarly, whenever Strong Bad is awoken from sleep (usually by Strong Sad), he will mutter the names of video games. ** While not entirely proven to be true, Homsar may have suffered from this ''permanently''. In his first appearance (made by a misspelling of "Homestar"), Strong Bad drops a [[Anvil Onon Head\|Heavy Lourde]] on him. His only line before that is "What is it Strong Bad?", a simple greeting that makes perfect sense in context. When TBC decided to bring him back as a source of comic relief, everything he's said after the Heavy Lourde incident makes little to no sense at all. * ''[[~~Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)\|~~Atop the Fourth Wall]]'': After {{spoiler\|Missingno suicides}} the now-unpossessed {{spoiler\|90s Kid}} is heard singing the theme song to ''[[Care Bears]]''. ** When Linkara revives after being rescued from Lord Vyce, he groggily mutters that he doesn't want to buy Tandy Computer products. * In Volume 2 Chapter 2 of ''[[RWBY]]'', Nora blurts "Pancake!" upon being awakened from a doze. ** Several episodes later, Jaune mumbles "Waffle!" when Ruby's scroll call almost but not quite wakes him up. ▲== Web Comics == * ''[[~~Order of the Stick~~The ~~(Webcomic)\|~~Order of the Stick]]'': When Redcloak hits Hinjo with Disintegrate, it's enough to knock him out but not kill him. ~~When~~As shown in the page image, when he's healed, he wakes up mumbling, "I'm sorry, Uncle, I'll never take a drink from your private stash again..."▼ ~~== Webcomics ==~~ ▲* ''[[Order of the Stick (Webcomic)\|Order of the Stick]]'': When Redcloak hits Hinjo with Disintegrate, it's enough to knock him out but not kill him. When he's healed, he wakes up mumbling, "I'm sorry, Uncle, I'll never take a drink from your private stash again..." == Western Animation == Line 96 ⟶ 88: * On ''[[The Simpsons]]'', Grandpa is startled out of a nap and exclaims "French toast, please!" ** Bart, in a Treehouse of Horror Episode, shouted "[[Catch Phrase\|COWA]]" just before knocking himself into a coma. After a [[Catapult Nightmare\|Catapult Wake-up]], {{quote\| ''[[Catch Phrase\|BUNGA]]!}} * On [[The Powerpuff Girls]], The Mayor is startled awake and shouts, "My life is a lie!" * In an episode of ''[[Rugrats]]'', Tommy and Angelica wake up a sleeping old man at a retirement center by throwing water in his face. As he awakens, he shouts "Don't dive yet, admiral, I'm still on deck!" He then takes one look at Tommy and Angelica and adds "Hey, you're not the admiral." * [[~~Spongebob~~SpongeBob SquarePants\|Patrick]] is fond to this saying things like "FINLAND!" or "Hot Chicken Wings." * ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'': In "The Secret of Success", Candace awakens her friend Stacy, who's nodded off at a leadership seminar, and Stacy says "Guh... it's not my ferret!" * ''[[~~American Dad (Animation)\|~~American Dad]]'': "Aah! Seagulls!" * In the [[Looney Tunes]] ''Falling Hare'', Bugs gets clobbered by the Gremlin. {{quote\| '''Gremlin:''' What's the matter, bunny rabbit? Speak to me! Why don't you say something?!~~<br />~~ '''Bugs:''' ''(childish voice)'' I'm only thwee and a half years old! }} == Real Life == * Very much [[Truth in Television]]. In the time between being asleep and fully awake, the line between dreams and reality can be blurred, causing you to try and continue a conversation with someone present in the dream. * When [[Mel Blanc]] was in a coma the doctors tried everything they could to bring him out of it, eventually one of them says "Paging Mr. Bugs Bunny, are you there?" and he responds "I'm right here, doc!" in Bugs' voice.{{context\|reason=How is this an example of the trope as written?}} {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Trope~~{{PAGENAME}}]]▼ [[Category:Absurdity Ascendant]] [[Category:Comedy Tropes]] [[Category:Sleep and Wakefulness Tropes]] ~~[[Category:Waking Non Sequitur]]~~ ▲[[Category:Trope]]
