* During the Arlong Park battles in ''OnePiece'', Nojiko & Genzou have such a conversation while underwater and trying to rescue Luffy.

* One episode of KenanAndKel begins with the titular characters prepping the audience, then thinking to themselves about each other and the audience. Inexplicably, halfway through the intro, Kenan is able to hear Kel's thoughts and proceeds to [[OnceAnEpisode tell him what to do]] while in Kel's head. Kel is left wondering why he can't actually talk back, then opens the episode anyway.

-->'''Daisy (thinking):''' ''Damn!''

* An episode of ''{{Friends}}'' opens with the characters minds wandering when Ross is explaining something. Joey's internal monologue is just a random ''doo doo-doo doo''. Pheobe's is ''Who's singing?''
* In the "His Story" episode of ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', Turk's internal monologue includes the fact that the hot girl who's seated at the main table at their wedding isn't really his cousin. Carla immediately tells him that she's being reseated. Turk then decides to experiment:
-->'''Turk''' (internal): ''Make me a grilled cheese sandwich, woman!''
-->'''Carla''': Make it yourself!
-->'''Turk''' (internal): ''(screams)''

-->'''Daisy (thinking):''' It's times like this I wish I was telepathic. Don't you, Tim?

-->'''Daisy (thinking):''' Damn!

* [[{{Telepathy}} Sookie Stackhouse]] from ''TrueBlood'' has a habit of absentmindedly answering other characters' thoughts.

* One of the Pokémon Movie Review Crossover's being done by Suède, Linkara, and Jewario starts off with the first two having deep internal monologues, about errors and their hatred of overblown narration respectively, when Jewario just stares at the camera for a moment thinking "....cats are funny....". A second round of internal monologues begin, this time about how much fun reviewing the movies was and their goal of getting the (fictional) Pokémon MMO released by reviewing all the movies. Except that Jewario starts to mentally sing his superhero theme, interrupting Linkara who notes it as "rude". Suède than asks them if "as long as we're breaking at least seven laws of physics" they want to review the next movie. They agree, and enter the game world.

-->'''Passengers, in chorus:'''[[hottip:*:The narrator doesn't know how people think in chorus, either.]] (Better say nothing at all. Language is worth a thousand pounds a word!)

* In [[ICarly iParty with]] {{Victorious}}, Carly, Sam and Freddie use this to figure out how to get revenge on a cheating boyfriend. Tori lampshades this by asking to be included.
* [[{{Telepathy}} Sookie Stackhouse]] from TrueBlood has a habit of absentmindedly answering other characters' thoughts.

* Played with on the season one finale on DrawnTogether, when the cast is aboard a helicopter fleeing a missile attack. Clara asks Wooldoor, who is the pilot, what is he doing. Everyone looks at each other and nods their heads. Clara responds with, why are you all nodding. He then flies the helo through their house to evade the missile.

[[folder: Web Original ]]

* The above quote from GirlChanInParadise features both a mental and a verbal response in the conversation.
* TheRandomverse used this in a competition between Wolverine and Rorschach. As the characters' mouths never move, this is only noted by stating it occuring and a slight change in inflection.

->'''[[TheHero Kenstar]], internally''': ''(I sure hope we don't have to face another [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Bushido Blaster]]. I aaaaaaam tired.)''

[[AC:{{Manga}}]]
* In Masaya Hokazono's "Inugami", all animals, including the Inugami (wolves with various powers commanded by an unknown voice to leave the forest and spy on humans), speak by some form of thought speech to each other unheard by humans. One of the wolves, 23 (because of the of the number tattooed to his ear) learns to speak English with assistance from his human companion, Fumiki. When 23 encounter Zero, another Inugami, the latter is enraged partly because of cruelty at the hands of humans, and what he thinks are crude noises coming from 23's mouth. Zero later learns English himself when captured by the head of an unscrupulous [[MegaCorp pharmaceutical corporation]], yet his hatred of humans remains until the very end of the series.

* The characters of ''Manga/{{Beelzebub}}'' often start doing this in funny situations. At first it was just a one-off the two main characters did (described as telepathy), but after that everyone started joining in.

** Ted and his fiance Stella has one after Stella's sister fiance left her and she can't get a refund but it leads to a NonverbalMiscommunication. Ted thought it was about paying for lunch. Stella thought it was about taking the wedding. [[spoiler: It was foreshadowing that they don't get together and they don't.]]

** Ted and his fiance Stella has one after Stella's sister fiance left her and their wedding was only a week away but it leads to a NonverbalMiscommunication. Ted thought they were to treat her sister for dinner. Stella thought they agreed to move their own wedding ahead. [[spoiler: It was foreshadowing that they don't get together and they don't.]]

* ''HowIMetYourMother'': Ted and Marshall are in some tense situation together. Marshall stares intently at Ted, and you can hear his thoughts in voiceover: (Ted, we've been friends so long that I know you can read my thoughts by now. Go get Lily). Ted, staring back, nods and leaves. Subverted in that he comes back with something else completely, as he thought Marshall wanted something ''else''.

->'''Kenstar, aloud''': ''[[StylisticSuck Wait, what?]]''

->'''Kenstar, again, internally''': ''([[StylisticSuck Wait, what?]])''

* In ''[[AliceInWonderland Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There]]'', a group of passengers on a train keep speaking in chorus and commenting that X is worth a thousand pounds a Y, but no one's really listening. The passengers hear Alice's thoughts, and she hears theirs, too.

* on AmericanDad Klaus and Haley consider using their ability to read each others minds in order to screw with Steve, but decide on a different plan instead

* In ''SpyHard'', a seductress responds vocally to the InnerMonologue of [[LeslieNielsen Agent Dick Steele]].

Because thought will happen in any quote used in an example, please use (parentheses) to indicate [[{{Animorphs}} "thought speak"]], and "quotation marks" to indicate normal speech, as in the quote above.

* This is how every non-human character talks in ''GarfieldAndFriends'', carrying over a tradition from the comics. However they move their mouths in TheGarfieldShow.

* This happens several times on {{Spaced}}. It is also subverted in Spaced when Daisy, while they are fumbling to come up with a lie, thinks (It's times like this I wish I was telepathic. Don't you, Tim?) She looks over to Tim, whose thoughts are dead silent. It's later played with when Tim answers Daisy's internal monologue.

* An interesting example from ''TheSimpsons'', where both Principal Skinner & Homer think at Bart; it's not clear that Bart can hear them but it is implied that Homer can hear Skinner.
