* Often inverted hilariously on the "Whose Line" sketch of ''WhoseLineIsItAnyway'', 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 [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy0eY1oregU this game]], for example, Ryan Stiles had to say he was dressed as a French maid during Davy Crockett's last stand at the Alamo due to one of the pre-written lines.

A humorous device used when a character is talking to another, but suddenly sees something which causes him or her to have a sudden and loud change of subject. However, astonishingly, what the distracted character actually shouts ''could well be what they had been about to say'', due to double meanings of words or just plain old coincidence.

A variant of this is when the conversation after the change of subject is ''not'' what the speaker had been about to say, or the interrupter is another person, but the two parts still make perfect sense as a sentence when pieced together.

* A commercial in New Zealand some years back featured someone constantly switching TV channels, and all of the dialogue we actually hear on each channel logically joined up with the dialogue in the next. For instance, on one channel we hear "an old hag!" (it was a soap opera or sitcom), the channel changes, and the very next thing we hear is "with six legs and a thorax" (a nature documentary on insects). It just continued like this.

* Due to the panel layout in comic books, the variant is very easy to pull off. For example, a British comic had each panel a different channel, as per the Advertising example above, leading to exchanges such as:

-->'''Chef''': -and a knob of butter-
-->'''Policeman''': -it looks like we got here just in time for a-
-->'''Superhero''': -Jimmy down the liftshaft?
