* In one of [[TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony's]] {{Tekken}} videos, FilmBrain shows up unexpectedly and starts reviewing. This being after [[FanDumb fan backlash]] about the ''last'' [[{{Film/Tekken}} Tekken video]] being a cross-over with Film Brain, the fans show up and [[StockFootage begin a battle with him]]. Moments before a bomb hits Film Brain's house, this happens:
--> '''Film Brain:''' *turns to camera* "Tell WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic, I L--" *explosion*

* Happens in ''Danny Phantom'' when Danny is about to leave to fight Pariah Dark, [[spoiler:and it's pretty much clear to everyone that he isn't going to be coming back.]] Sam is ''thisclose'' to finally telling him how she feels, but before she can get two words out the sky goes dark and it's too late.

* On ''{{Zoey101}}'', this becomes somewhat of a RunningGag for Chase, who has been in love with his best friend Zoey since the day he met her. He tries valiantly several times to tell her how he feels, only to be interrupted--usually by the friends who keep telling him to reveal his feelings. Ironically, for all the times he tried to tell her on purpose, he ends up telling her completely by accident.

--> Film Brain: *turns to camera* "Tell the NostalgiaCritic, I L--" *explosion*

* ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'': Toward the end of the second season, the Gaang splits up and Aang decides it's finally time to tell Katara how he feels. He manages to get the word "I" out before Sokka unwittingly jumps in and gives him a noogie.

** It happens again in "Hearts and Hooves Day", with Cheerilee's "You have something stuck in your teeth" moment.

* A variation from ''Series/TheXFiles'': Interrupted Invitation for a Date. Agent Pendrell has had a crush on Scully for some time and he met her at a bar on her birthday. He was really excited and also clearly drunk, thus he had the guts to ask her for a drink. Scully was with a soldier she was protecting but Pendrell didn't give up and bought drinks for himself, Scully and the soldier as well. [[spoiler:Poor Pendrell got shot a moment later and died off-screan in the next episode.]]

* ''TheProfessionals''. Bodie and Doyle are driving a NewOldFlame of their boss George Cowley to the airport after she's survived an assassination attempt, and she begins to say, "Tell George I..." before being drowned out by a police siren. She doesn't repeat herself, and the two debate afterwards what they should tell Cowley. They decide not to mention the comment.

* ''RanmaOneHalf'': Ranma Saotome pretty much makes it his mission to interrupt and shoot down all of Ryoga's attempts to confess to Akane. For hilarity, [[GenderBender Ranma]] is usually in drag, acting like a girl, and just being a [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bastard]] in general.

* In ''{{Empowered}}'', [[spoiler:Mind████, gives this to Sistah Spooky, who arrives precisely "three seconds too late" to save her from burning up in a descending space station.]]

** Another DoctorWho example occurs in the second season of the 2005 reboot, with [[spoiler:the Doctor and Rose. She manages to spit it out, but he gets interrupted.]] [[TearJerker Ouch.]]

* In ''CardCaptorSakura'' this seems to be what is happening with between [[YaoiGuys Touya and Yukito]] with Nakuru constantly butting into the conversation on purpose at the exact point that it seems that confession is about to take place [[ClingyJealousGirl seemingly as she fancies Touya herself]]. It's actually somewhat more complicated [[spoiler:Touya is actually trying to confess that he knows Yukito isn't human... AND that he loves him and wants to sacrifice his own magic powers to save Yukito's/Yue's life, but Nakuru/Ruby Moon wants to steal Touya's power before he can do so.]]

** It happens again in "Hearts and Hooves Day", with Cheerilee's "You have something stuck in your teeth" moment.

* On {{Zoey 101}}, this happens at least three times to Chase, who is in love with his best friend, Zoey. He spends so much time trying to tell her his feelings (only to be interrupted) that ironically, he ends up telling her completely by accident.

[[AC:{{WesternAnimation}}]]

* ''MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has this in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E10SecretOfMyExcess "Secret Of My Excess"]], with Spike about to tell Rarity he has a crush on her... and Rarity ''[[TheNotSecret herself]]'' interrupting him.
