* A [[https://youtu.be/gygpvd9_Ra0?t=631 clip]] of UsefulNotes/LizTruss, then the British Secretary for Environment, from 2014 shows her gleefully announcing that she would be going to Beijing later that year "opening up new pork markets" and then grinning immediately afterwards. It took the audience a moment to realize that that was it, and ''then'' came the SlowClap.

* ''ARG/OmegaMart'': Used to chilling effect in the first training video. Our host, Karen, asks the viewer what makes Omega Mart the most exceptional store in America, then pauses to get a sign. While she's down, an employee with a hazmat suit walks around with its Geiger Counter shooting through the roof--and then she reappears with the sign to show the answer is ''you'', and not whatever it was behind her.

* In ''Film/ImNotRappaport'', Nat and Midge declare that they're both in love with a beautiful girl that is at the park, painting. Midge says that it's the first time he's ever been in love with a white woman. Nat asks why this is and Midge tells him that while ''he'' may have run around with a wild Commie crowd, he was stuck with with his own where he came from, being a black man. "Wait, stop, excuse me..." says Nat and there is what the script of the original stage play specifically describes as being a beat before Nat takes out his bifocals and studies Midge, declaring "My God, you're right. You ''are'' a black man." Another beat, then he bursts into laughter, then following this Midge does too as realizes that Nat has got him again.

* Kyon from ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', in his usual snarky way, will usually break a potential beat with a thought of his own. This doesn't happen when he encounters something he can't explain, like accidentally walking in on a Mikuru clothes-changing session.
