We Were Rehearsing a Play: Difference between revisions

* The ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'' example gets taken to extremes -- there's another instance played straight in the movie ("She's Out of our Hair"), and the DVD includes a feature showing the staging of the musical, and excerpts from several scenes.

* ''[[Men in Black (film)|Men in Black]]''. Agent K is interrogating Frank the Pug (an alien in the form of a dog) while holding him.

'''Agent J:''' ''[To a passerby]'' They're rehearsing a ventriloquist act. }}

* ''[[Moulin Rouge]]''. Gets taken so far that said play ends up actually being written.

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'': "Rehearsing a play" tends to be used if a [[Muggle]] catches the heroes talking about demons and monsters.

* ''[[Friends]]'':

'''Ross:''' We're rehearsing a Greek play. }}

* The inversion also appears in ''[[Blackadder]] the Third'', where it's set up by a [[Running Gag]] about how Prince George [[The Ditz|can't tell the difference between theater and real life]].
