Auguste Dupin, he's walking silently with his friend who is also silent, and then says something apropos to what the friend is thinking.

* 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.

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

* In ''ComicStrip/BeetleBailey'', General Halftrack is freaked out when he notices his wife can effectively read his thoughts. She also reacts to ''that'' thought.

* Poe's version is also referenced by Literature/SherlockHolmes to Dr. Watson on a couple of occasions, to prove to Watson he's as good as the fictional Dupin, even though Holmes thinks doing it is "showy and superficial." The idea is taken even further when Holmes meets [[ArchEnemy Professor Moriarty]] and most of their potential conversation is skipped via one exchange of "You already know what I'm going say," "You know what I'm going to answer to that."

* ''Series/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''.

* This happens several times on {{Spaced}}. It is also subverted in Spaced when they're forced to come up with a lie:

* 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?)
