* Done in ''TheKAMics'' in [[http://www.drunkduck.com/The_KAMics/5036922/ this comic]]

* In ''Webcomic/TheDragonDoctors'', [[http://www.drunkduck.com/The_Dragon_Doctors/5411699/ the last comic of the interlude between Chapters 16 and 17]] ends with Rina saying, "My mother told me once that, on balance, the future is better than the past. Sometimes things get worse, much worse, but then they improve. I guess she was right." The next page is [[http://www.drunkduck.com/The_Dragon_Doctors/5412285/ the title page of Chapter 17]]: "Things Get Much Worse".

* Episode 7 of ''RahXephon'' has a good example of the second type.
-->''The TERRA staff witness Ayato walking through a portal.''
-->'''Megumi:''' What's going on?
-->'''Kim:''' I don't know. Maybe Dr. Kisaragi would know.
-->'''Megumi:''' Yeah, it seems like he knows everything.
-->''Cut to the other side of the portal, where Itsuki Kisaragi is observing the [=RahXephon=].''
-->'''Itsuki:''' Honestly, how does all this work?

-->'''Mako''': Don't worry, there'll be no way they'll be expecting this.

''(Cut to the Northern Water Tribe line of defense, heavily manned and fortified with cannons and mecha)''

--> '''Uatu the Watcher''': Congratulations, Squirrel Girl. By defeating Thanos, you have saved the entire '''multiverse'''. I wish I could have helped, but as a Watcher I am forbidden to interfere.

** This also happens in Season One.
-->'''Zuko''': *Looking at map with Aang's route traced on it* The Avatar is clearly a master of evasive maneuvering.\\
[Cut to Sokka, Katara, and Aang looking at a similar map]\\
'''Sokka''': You have no idea where we are, do you?

* The WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants episode 'Idiot Box' is full of these.
** After a failed attempt to find out how the box keeps getting the sound effects:

** When he had finally found a plan to find out the secret of the box:

** When he's inside the box and still can't find out the secret:

** Actually a subversion, the car sound effects actually come from a garbage truck, picking up the box Squidward is in.
** After Squidward ends up in the dump:

** From the episode "Sleepless in Ponyville":
-->''(at the clubhouse)''\\

''(cut to the boutique)''\\

* In the ''[[LawAndOrderUK Law & Order: UK]]'' episode "Vice", a car thief has the misfortune of being arrested for breaking into car that just happens to have a dead body in it.

* In the ''Series/{{Stargate SG-1}}'' episode ''The Quest'', Vala Mal Doran says, earnestly, regarding the map to the Holy Grail, "we would never dream of stealing it!" Cut to the team in a pub, where Vala says, "we have to steal it."

* ''TalesOfTheQuestor'' inverted this when [[http://www.rhjunior.com/totq/00555.html the duke tries to hire Quentyn to slay a dragon]].
* ''{{DMFA}}'' subverts the inverted form [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_704.php here]].
-->'''Alexsi:''' I've been kidnapped by my mom's boss...great. Of course this would happen on the day that I'm scheduled to show off Lost Lake!\\

[=*Cut*=]\\

* CodeLyoko:
--> Ulrich: *clumsily maneuvering Odd's OverBoard* How does Odd manage this thing?
--> Aelita: He's not afraid of falling.
''Cut to Odd on the roof of the science building*\\
--> Odd: I'm afraid.

-->''[Cuts to the middle of a fair in the Middle East. Marcus Brody is seen wearing a bright suit and white hat, and sticking out like a sore thumb]''

** This example is made even more hilarious when Indy reveals [[IndyPloy he was bluffing]].

The implication that both lines are being uttered almost simultaneously seems to have something to do with the resulting humor. It may be used as well to highlight the differences between two characters, by pointing their subtly different approach to a same topic.

-->'''Alexsi:''' I've been kidnapped by my mom's boss...great. Of course this would happen on the day that I'm scheduled to show off Lost Lake!
-->'''Destania:''' Oh, I'm sure the inn is fine, Alexsi.
-->*Cut*
-->'''Dan (shapeshifted as Alexsi):''' Over here is the doorway to the inn's guest rooms!
-->'''Reporter:''' I must say this place is very charming!
-->'''Dan:''' [[LampshadeHanging What did you expect? Comedic irony?]]

''(Jump to present)''
-->'''Cal Warden''': You're the worst superhero ever!
-->'''Spinnerette''': What, me?

* In ''Singles'', Linda is talking with her girlfriends after she and Steve have their initial one-night stand:

* In Castle, in which Beckett is discussing finally ending the unending UST between her and Castle:

** In "Murtaugh", when Robin asks Ted if he thinks Barney can accomplish everything on the list:\\
-->'''Ted:''' Robin, there is some pretty tough stuff on that list. ''(Laughs)'' Do you really think Barney's going to get his ear pierced?\\
-->''(Cut to Barney coming in with a roll of tape on his ear)''\\

* ''{{Runaways}}'' combined this with a subversion of the EvilLaugh. For full effect, Old Lace is a ''Deinonychus''.

-->'''Roxanne:''' Since you left, Megamind is running rampant through the streets.

-->'''Homer''': (Angrily boasting) so I tell him, "see ya later, pal! Thanks for nothing!"
