''[cut to Mariah Dillard and Cottonmouth]''\\
'''Mariah Dillard:''' What do you mean, "everything is fine"?\\
'''Cottonmouth:''' Like I said, it's fine.\\
'''Mariah Dillard:''' You've got welders reinforcing doors to rooms I don't even go into. What are they doing?

* ''Series/LukeCage2016''. In "Who's Gonna Take the Weight?", Luke Cage has been [[RobbingTheMobBank robbing drug dealers working for Cottonmouth.]] When the police ask witnesses for a description of the vigilante, a stoned woman replies, [[DistractedByTheSexy "He was fine."]] Smash cut to Mariah angrily asking Cottonmouth, "What do you mean, everything is fine?!" This one takes advantage of the double entendre for using "fine"--describing [[ChickMagnet Luke]] and the situation for Mariah and Cottonmouth at present.

* ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'':
** Omi explains how he got to the future after being stranded in the past by Jack Spicer's incomplete time machine. [[spoiler:Subverted in that Dashi ''did'' know how to get Omi to the present - it's just that his method involved the Sands of Time, which wouldn't be revealed for the next 1500 years or so, so Omi went ahead and just froze himself for the next 1500 years using the Orb of Tornami, though Dashi ''may'' have been subtly suggesting Omi do that.]]
--->'''Omi:''' Luckily I was with Grandmaster Dashi, greatest of all Xiaolin Dragons. Surely ''he'' would have the answer!\\

--->'''Squidward:''' ''[sitting in a chair]'' I'll wait all night if I have to!\\
''[cut back to him, revealing that it is already night, the box is still ongoing]''
*** When he's inside the box and still can't find out the secret:
--->'''Squidward:''' I mean, do I really believe that if I sit here and pretend to drive a race car that I'm suddenly going to start hearing noises? ''[steps on the imaginary gas pedal and hears the actual noise]'' What the...? ''[Squidward turns the imaginary key]'' It actually works!
::: Actually a subversion, the car sound effects actually come from a garbage truck, picking up the box Squidward is in.

** In "Nature Pants", Patrick mentions to [=SpongeBob=] that even Squidward misses him. Cut to Squidward throwing himself a "Goodbye, [=SpongeBob=]" party.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'':
** Done with the ''Crimson Chin'' comics -- the narrator will say what's happening to the unsuspecting citizens, and then the citizens will echo it, including a guy at the end saying, "We were so unsuspecting!"
** In "Foul Balled", Timmy sticks up for Chester after his wish to make him the best baseball player ever wears off after Chester stops being friends with him, therefore going back to his crappy baseball playing. Note that the following quote may not be accurate.
--->'''Timmy:''' We're 40 points up, in the 9th inning, and 3 outs left, there's no WAY you'll catch up with us!\\
''[cut to the scoreboard where the Bankees are catching up with the Losers]''\\

** Even the video games have this. In the opening cutscene to the PC version of ''Breakin' Da Rules'':
--->'''Wanda:''' It could be worse, sweetie.\\
'''Cosmo:''' Yeah. At least your parents aren't going away for the weekend and leaving your evil babysitter Vicky in charge.\\

'''Tootie:''' This is the worst place ever! ''[whip pans to her bawling at the table]''
* Used four times in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/SushiPack'' as it cut between Tako and Maguro hurtling toward Earth on an asteroid, and the rest of the team trying to figure out what happened to them.

** Not totally sure it counts, but the very last scene of ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' begins with something like this.

'''Galvatron:''' [[SilenceYouFool SILENCE!]]

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': In "The Son Also Draws", Peter claims to be Native American to get the family car back from a casino after Lois gambles it away:
-->'''Lois:''' Peter, there is no way they're gonna believe you're an Indian.\\

:: "Oh, you think everyone's an Indian."
* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'':
** In the pilot "Rollercoaster":
--->'''Linda:''' Candace, be honest. Aren't the boys a little young to be building a rollercoaster?\\
''[hard cut to Phineas and Ferb working on their rollercoaster in -- and through -- a tune-up shop]''\\
'''Shop Owner:''' Aren't you a little young to be building a rollercoaster?\\
'''Phineas:''' Yes. Yes I am.
** That exchange, in various forms, turns into a RunningGag as the series goes on.
** Repeated in "Rollercoaster: [[MusicalEpisode The Musical]]", except after Linda asks it (Candace responding, "Yes, yes he is.") we cut to a ''music and dance routine'' version of the exchange.
** This bit from the episode "Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together":
--->'''Danny:''' (talking about the concert) Come on boys, let's blow the roof off this place!\\
''Cut to Doofenshmirtz''\\
'''Doofenshmirtz:''' (Tied to a large firecracker) Oh no, it's going to blow the roof off this place!
* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'':
** In the episode "One of a Kind", Jazz invites a representative from ''Genius Magazine'' over to attempt to demonstrate that her parents were genii, while attempting to keep a lid on the Ghost Hunting...to little or no avail. Danny had just had a fight with a ghost, leaving his room wrecked, so when the representative came up to try to talk to him, he slams the door in her face.
--->'''Danny:''' Jazz is going to kill me for that.\\
'''Jazz:''' I'm gonna kill him for that.
** In the episode "Boxed Up Fury", The Box Ghost [[TookALevelInBadass is finally taken as a serious threat]] when he steals the power of PandorasBox. When Danny tries to find Pandora to remedy the situation, this trope is utilized:
--->'''Danny:''' I sure hope things are finally under control at Amity Park.\\
'''News Reporter:''' Things are out of control in Amity Park.
* ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'': Frylock in the episode "The Clowning", where Carl is slowly being mutated by an outer space clown virus, Frylock runs from the room saying he knows what he's doing. Out in the hall, he tells Meatwad and Shake, "I have no freaking idea what I'm doing."
* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'':
** The GrandFinale:
--->''[in the future]''\\
'''Adult Numbuh Two:''' Suffice it to say, Father was ''not'' happy finding us in his house.\\
''[flashback]''\\
'''Father:''' I am not happy finding you kids in my house!
** Also, in "Operation: I.T.":
--->'''Numbuh 362:''' Well, whoever's it must totally be wetting themselves right now.\\
''[cut to Numbuh Two]''\\

* ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures''
** The webcomic one [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_704.php subverts the inverted form]].
--->'''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!\\

* Although it's technically not a "cut", [[http://wayofthemetagamer.thecomicseries.com/comics/pl/18697 this]] ''Webcomic/TheWayOfTheMetagamer'' comic applies this trope to half its panels.
* ''Webcomic/MenageA3'':
** [=DiDi=] decides that it's up to her to deflower [[NerdsAreVirgins Gary]] because "Every Man should know the intimate touch of a woman".

* Done in ''Webcomic/TheKamics'' in [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/The_KAMics/5036922/ this comic]]

-->'''[[spoiler:Tavor]]:''' Oh.
* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' once closed the pre-cut part with "[[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2003-01-21 ...hard to picture]]" and later had this cut ''doubled'' [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2005-02-27 on the same page]].
** Tagon's [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2008-09-29 dream]] {{flashback}}.
* In ''Webcomic/TheDragonDoctors'', a serious example comes with [[http://dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/comic/the-fourth-breaking-pg-5 the last comic of "The Fourth Breaking"]] (the interlude between Chapters 16 and 17), whcih 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."

* A variation in the ''WebVideo/Redearth88'' episode "Creepy Stalking 101":

* WebVideo/SuburbanKnights has this gem as both teams learn simultaneously the location of the treasure:
-->'''[[WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown Film Brain]]:''' Oh, you've--\\
'''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick:''' --got to be--\\
'''WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows:''' --[[PrecisionFStrike fucking]]--\\
'''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic:''' --kidding me! [[spoiler:It's right back where we started?!]]

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'': In "What Is Life?", Finn explains that they have to trick the Ice King into getting NEPTR fully powered-up before a napping Jake awakes.

* Inverted echo example: ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'', "Cool Party": Gerald is certain that he's cool enough to be invited to Rhonda's party, mostly because his best friend Arnold has already been invited as well. Hard cut to Rhonda telling her best friend Nadine that Gerald has been put on the geek list, much to Nadine's surprise...and Gerald's when he finds out from Phoebe.
** In fact, they played this trope into the ground over the course of the series.
* ''WesternAnimation/RocketPower'': Otto, wanting to go surfing while playing hooky, thinks he has tricked his dad into giving him surfboards for him and Sam via a phone call. He hangs up.
-->'''Otto:''' Relax, dude. Raymondo totally bought it.\\
* ''Cut to Raymondo hanging up as well''*\\
'''Ray:''' Oh, man, I didn't buy that for a second.
** Later in the same episode, Otto and Sam get stuck on a stalled roller coaster and are no longer enjoying their playing hooky, while at the same time at school, Reggie and Twister are having a great time at the surprise carnival in the school's gymnasium, and we get this bit...
--->'''Otto:''' This is the worst day of my life!\\
* ''Cut to Reggie and Twister having fun at the school carnival'' *\\
'''Twister:''' This is the best day of my life!
* ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' used this to do a DoubleSubversion of the GilliganCut in an episode where Muriel received free tickets for an ocean liner. Eustace, her husband, isn't interested.

:: Even funnier when the ocean liner is being attacked, and Eustace and the chair are sent flying... Eustace ''still refuses to leave his chair''. He then spends the rest of the episode complaining, "Where's my chair?"
* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'': In the season 2 finale "Moonvasion!", [[spoiler: Della Duck]] defends focusing on keeping the kids safe and far away from an especially dangerous enemy, saying "Scrooge knows what he's doing!" Cut back to Scrooge, [[NearVillainVictory who's out of plans and almost out of allies]], lamenting "I have ''no'' idea what I'm doing!"
* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
** Aang's trying to sabotage a Fire Nation war machine, but the Earthbenders nearly hit him with friendly fire.
--->'''Aang:''' ''[calling up to them]'' General Sun, tell your soldiers to stop shooting rocks down here!\\
'''Sun:''' ''[not hearing Aang over the noise]'' Soldiers, whatever you do, don't stop shooting rocks down there!
** Aang in Book 3 says that he needs to redeem himself and needs his honor back (something Zuko says routinely, but Aang seldom talks about). Sure enough, it cuts to Zuko's face, who now ''has'' his honor back.

** A variant of this using a single character, then proceeds to give it a good old LampshadeHanging.
--->'''Homer:''' Thanks Moe, how can I ever repay you?\\
'''Moe:''' Hey, some things mean more to me than money.\\
''[cut to Moe being given several wads of money]''\\
'''Moe:''' Like a whole lot of money!\\
'''Soldier:''' Why did you just say that sentence fragment?
** In "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire", Homer finds out that Mr. Burns won't be giving any Christmas bonuses, and he mutters "Thank God for the big jar [of money]." The scene then cuts to Marge being forced to spend all the money to get Bart's tattoo removed, and she mutters "Thank God for Homer's Christmas bonus."
** In "Simpson and Delilah", when Homer tried to buy a hair regrowth serum, but can't because it's way out of his price range. This upsets him:

** And an inverted echo, in "Dumbbell Indemnity" when Homer fails an initial plan to crash Moe's car in an insurance scam and tries an alternate plan in full view of witnesses (including Moe):

** Also inverted at the end of the "Treehouse of Horror VI" story "Homer^3":
--->'''Reverend Lovejoy:''' Be strong, Marge, I'm sure he's gone to a better place.\\
'''Homer:''' D'oh! Ew... this is the worst place yet. [[note]][[UpTheRealRabbitHole He's ended up in the real world.]][[/note]]
** In "Hurricane Neddy", a hurricane passes through Springfield. Afterwards, the Simpsons are amazed to find their house intact, which leads Marge to remark "It just goes to show you that everything will work out if you have faith." We immediately pan to the home of the devout Flanders family, which is completely destroyed. Ned gets up from the ruins, muttering "[[HeroicBSOD It's all gone... everything... gone-diddly-on...]]"

* ''Series/{{Eureka}}'', in one episode, has one foot in [[IronicEchoCut this trope]] and the other in DescriptionCut.
-->'''Zane:''' [[TheSheriff Carter]], [[TheSmartGuy Henry]], and [[DrJerk Stark]]. That's your [[WhoYouGonnaCall money]] [[FreudianTrio team]]. ''They know exactly what they're doing''.\\
''[cut to Carter, Henry, and Stark crouching in the bushes, Carter holding a huge gun]''\\
'''Stark:''' You sure you know what you're doing?\\
'''Carter:''' I have no idea.

* ''Series/FatherTed'' does this frequently.
** For example, in the first episode, Ted is delighted that he has been chosen to be interviewed for a TV programme on priests on remote islands. Cut to the office of the producers which shows that he was about the fiftieth choice.
** From ''Tentacles of Doom'': Ted says that all sorts of care and consideration go into the changing of the official class of holy relics. Cut to an office in the Vatican, where a priest idly presses a button on his computer keyboard and says "What about the Holy Stone of Clonrichert?" Second priest, not even looking up from his newspaper: "Whatever."
* ''{{Series/Firefly}}''
** An example ''without'' the cut is in the episode "The Message":
--->'''Zoe:''' First rule of battle, little one: don't ever let 'em know where you are.\\
''[enter Mal, whooping and hollering]''\\
'''Mal:''' Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want a piece o' me?!\\
'''Zoe:''' 'Course, there are other schools of thought.
** And a traditional one in the first episode: Mal tells Simon that Kaylee has died of a gunshot wound - after earlier promising that if she died, Simon and his sister would follow. When Simon finds out that Kaylee is alive and well, he says, stunned, "That man is psychotic." Cut to Mal, Jayne, Zoe and Wash laughing hysterically, as Wash chokes out, "You are psychotic!" (Mal, grinning, concedes, "I am a bad, bad man.")
*** Later, when being interrogated by Alliance officers, Zoe brushes off questions about her and Wash by saying they're "very private people". Cut to Wash saying that the first thing that attracted him to her was her legs.
** A rather dark one in Heart of Gold:

** Creator/JossWhedon is simply the MASTER of this technique and variations there-of. It's gotta be like half of the humor element of any of his shows (especially the darker ones).

* ''Series/{{Flashpoint}}''
** When Ed was asking Parker's son Dean how he managed to convince his father to let him go on an escort ride with the team, Dean says it was because Clark (Ed's son) was interested in going too. Cut to Clark who looked bored and uninterested in another car.
** In another episode, a husband tells the team how he regretted cheating on his wife with an old friend while said friend thought differently.
--->'''Josh:''' That one night was the biggest mistake of my life.\\

-->'''Joey:''' Oh my God! He forgot his... ''[[BaitAndSwitch mousse!]]''
-->''(Jesse successfully deploys his parachute and starts floating down)''
-->'''Jesse:''' ...Did I forget my mousse?

** "Humpty Dumpty": Dr. Cuddy was advocating a dangerous treatment, forcing House into the unusual role of being the voice of caution.

** When the team makes the correct diagnosis in "Daddy's Boy":

* Occurs in several episodes of ''Series/{{Frontline}}''. In one instance, Emma accuses the producer of feeding the controversy around a supposedly racist writer the show has been attacking. Mike responds, ''What, you think we sat at a whiteboard and mapped this whole thing out?" Cut to Marty, who is planning the week's stories on the writer on the whiteboard.
* The ''Series/GreysAnatomy'' episode "I Saw What I Saw" does this repeatedly, as a series of past events is [[TheRashomon pieced together]] from stories told to a review board.
-->'''Lexie:''' Dr. Karev seemed to have it under control.\\
'''Dr. Adamson:''' Karev seemed totally out of control.

'''Ted:''' HOW DO YOU NOT LIKE ''[[Film/FieldOfDreams FIELD OF DREAMS]]''?!
** In "Murtaugh", when Robin asks Ted if he thinks Barney can accomplish everything on the list:

** From ''Of Course'':

-->'''Perp:''' I didn't do it! I didn't do it! \\

* ''Series/LukeCage2016'': In episode 3, Luke spends the day hitting Cottonmouth's stashhouses. At one of them, Misty finds a stoned woman, and asks her for a description of the assailant.
-->'''Misty Knight:''' Did you see his face? What can you tell me about him?
-->'''Woman:''' He was fine.
-->''[cut to Mariah Dillard and Cottonmouth]''
-->'''Mariah Dillard:''' What do you mean, "everything is fine"?
-->'''Cottonmouth;''' Like I said, it's fine.
-->'''Mariah Dillard:''' You've got welders reinforcing doors to rooms I don't even go into. What are they doing?
* ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' thrived on this trope.
** When trying to clear Craig's apartment of dozens of cats, Lois says, "Hold on, I have an idea!" Cut to the characters sitting in the same position in an apartment that was recently ravaged by fire with Lois saying, "O.K., that was a really bad idea." Hal tops it off with, "I don't think I've ever seen cats move that fast before."
** Malcolm and his brothers are confined to their room and trying to orchestrate an escape. Malcolm's brothers appeal to his genius intellect to devise a plan which leads to Malcolm saying, "O.K., here's what we're going to do." Cut to a shot of Lois opening the bedroom door only to see the boys inexplicably wrapped head to toe in tin-foil, precariously balanced on some stacked stools, and reaching towards the ceiling fan with a broom handle. When they see their mother, they panic and come crashing to the floor. Malcolm turns to the camera and exclaims, "Well, it seemed like a good idea!"
* Parodied in Pablo Francisco's "Movie Previews Guy" skit, during a Keanu Reeves movie trailer.

* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'':
** Another cut-less example when Ziva worries about Tony feeling down after [[spoiler:his breakup with Jeanne]].
--->'''Ziva:''' Alright, but I thought maybe you needed a little cheering up.\\
'''Tony:''' If I needed to be cheered up, I would've put superglue on [=McGee=]'s keyboard.\\
''[shift focus to [=McGee=] holding up a keyboard stuck to his hands]''\\
'''[=McGee=]:''' You put superglue on my keyboard.
** An earlier episode used the traditional cut.
--->'''Kate:''' ''[in Paraguay]'' The best part? No Gibbs checking up on us.\\
''[cut to Washington with a map showing their location via [=GPS=]]''\\
'''Gibbs:''' What the hell are they doing?

''Cut to him and Suzy''\\

* ''Series/{{Newswipe}}'' uses this as a TakeThat in one episode, where it shows footage of an interview of a criminal psychologist on what TV news shows shouldn't do whenever a mass murder takes place (such as turning the murderer into an AntiHero), intercut with images of news shows doing exactly that.

'''Victor:''' Oh God, I wish I was ''dead!''

* In the "[[Recap/TheSopranoS4E9WhoeverDidThis Whoever Did This]]" episode of ''Series/TheSopranos'', there's a darkly funny example of this trope: Ralphie's son Justin is tragically injured, and he suffers significant blood loss and brain damage, with doctors saying that he could potentially end up being disabled. Later on, as Ralphie sits besides Justin's hospital bed, Rosalie Aprile comes in to the room. She consoles him, saying:

* In the ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' episode "The Kindred", Teyla claims to be having visions of her lover, who's currently being held captive. [=McKay=] lists [[ContinuityNod all the equally weird things that have happened to him since arriving in Atlantis]] and says, "If you say it was a vision, I believe it was a vision." Cut to him walking down the hall with Sheppard, saying, "I seriously doubt it was a vision."
* In the ''Series/StargateSG1'' 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."
* ''Series/That70sShow''
** In the episode "Radio Daze", Donna has just said over the radio that she doesn't have a boyfriend:
--->'''Max:''' The point is, we're selling an image here, and an available Hot Donna is good for ratings.\\
'''Donna:''' Oh. Well, what the hell. Eric won't have a problem with this.\\
''[cut to Eric in his basement]''\\
'''Eric:''' What the hell? I have a problem with this!

'''Eric:''' Okay, but, Jackie, if you don’t come back...\\

** ''That '70s Show'' just loves this trope, mostly in their split-screen conversations, with four characters discussing the same thing from two different points of view. An example:
--->'''Hyde:''' Secretly, I think girls love sex just as much as we do.\\
'''Eric:''' ''[scoffs]'' Yeah, right!\\
'''Jackie:''' ''[to Donna]'' If guys find out we like sex just as much as they do, we'll never get jewelry again!

'''Neil:''' I suppose it's because I'm so mind-numbingly boring that I never get to meet any interesting people.
* A scene from ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'' has Dorothy, visiting the concession stand Sophia (her mother) and Max (then-husband of Sophia) are running at the time. Dorothy worries that the weather might cause Sophia to get sick. Sophia responds with, "Please, I haven't had a cold for 40 years!" Cue the cut, followed by Max and Sophia being sick and treated at home, while the latter moans: "This is the worst cold I've had in 40 years."
* ''Series/TopGear'': in the Source of the Nile special, at one point they get into an EscalatingWar of stealing bits off each other's cars. When Jeremy "Cackhands" Clarkson had hacked a sizeable chunk out of James "Suspected Obsessive Compulsive Disorder" May's bonnet, Richard Hammond explains that knowing James, he won't be as angry about the ''fact'' of the theft as he will be about the clumsy ''execution''. Cut to May giving Clarkson a bollocking about how [[DoWrongRight cack-handed a job he did]].
* In the ''Series/TwoPintsOfLagerAndAPacketOfCrisps'' episode "Momo and Piggsy", Johnny declares that, in the short time after Donna and Gary's argument, he will already be sitting on the couch in his undies, picking his nose and bum at the same time. Donna argues that Gary wouldn't degenerate so quickly. Guess what we jump to right after she says that...
* In the ''Series/WhiteCollar'' episode "Forging Bonds", while they are discussing the past investigation of Neal's crimes, Peter tells a preening Neal that he wasn't that good. The show then goes into a flashback where Peter is saying "This guy is good!" The same episode also had Peter insisting they did not give him a cool nickname during the case before cutting to him referring to Neal as "James Bonds".
* ''Series/AngieTribeca'': While driving, Tribeca tells Geils not to get attached to her because she's bad with partners. Cut to Geils holding a photo of the two of them in a "BFF" picture frame, then casually tossing it out the window.
* ''Series/TheGreatBritishBakeOff'':
** During the Baked Alaska challenge in series 5:
--->'''Luis:''' I'm okay with today's task. It's a sponge base and ice cream, so [[WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong what can possibly go wrong?]] ''[[[CantBelieveISaidThat giggles nervously]]]''\\
''[cut to]''\\
'''Paul Hollywood:''' There's many things that can go wrong in a Baked Alaska.
** During the first episode of series 4:
--->'''Mary Berry:''' ''[to the camera]'' I don't want to see just a classic Victoria sponge cake.\\
''[cut to]''\\
'''Contestant:''' Classic Victoria sponge cake. I think Mary Berry will be very pleased.
** During a vegetable cake challenge in one of the Comic Relief specials, a contestant remarks that in his opinion you'd have to be crazy to think a beetroot cake would be a good idea. Immediate cut to another contestant preparing a beetroot cake.
* Used in the "Turn Left" episode of ''Series/DoctorWho''. London gets destroyed in a nuclear explosion after a [[ItMakesSenseInContext replica Titanic falls from the sky into Buckingham Palace.]] Consequently, England goes into total meltdown, and Wilfred comments that America are going to send England 50 billion pounds in financial aid, commenting [[AmericaSavesTheDay "god bless America!"]]. Cue an immediate cut to the line, "America is in crisis", on a news report about the deaths of over 60 million Americans in [[ItMakesSenseInContext a living-fat epidemic ]]. It's obviously used for dramatic purposes, although it can come across as BlackComedy as well, given its execution.
* ''Series/ThePartridgeFamily'': In "H-e-l-l-l-l-l-p!!!" Shirley hears a funny sound and says, "I haven't heard a noise like that since Tracy bit Reuben on the toe!" Cut to Reuben doing a HurtFootHop, saying, "I haven't felt pain like this since Tracy bit me on the toe!"

* In ''Radio/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'' radio series, during the description of the Guide's advice when falling from a great height, the narrator points out that the Guide does not mention the possibility that someone might survive by falling onto a large bird in flight because "the very idea is utterly ludicrous". Arthur, and later Ford and Zaphod then fall onto large passing birds who both remark:
-->'''Bird:''' Look, this is utterly ludicrous!

* In ''Theatre/CactusFlower'', when Julian tells Toni that his wife wants a divorce because there's another man in her life, and Toni demands to meet him, he is suddenly horror-stricken and pounds the wall (which coincidentally is the signal for Igor to come on over) while repeatedly saying, "No, no, no!" The scene then fades out of Toni's apartment and fades in on Julian's office, where Stephanie, who already agreed to pretend to be Julian's wife, is saying the same thing to the idea of her having a pretend boyfriend. (The same cut occurs in the movie version.)

* ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars Original Generation'' uses this very well. This major boss shows up and just kinda toys with the good guys before leaving. After the good guys get back to base, one guy remarks that the villain seemed to have been showing off, but another one blows him off, says that's something the protagonist would do instead. Cut to villain hideout. TheDragon notes that he was showing off, and the villain owns up to it.
-->'''Giado:''' Mon, I think he wuz just showing off! A mecha otaku, I swear!\\
'''Garnet:''' Can't be! He's not at all like Ryusei!\\
''[cut to enemy base]''\\
'''Shuu:''' You were just showing off, weren't you?\\
'''Bian:''' ...Yeah, pretty much.
* ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea|HourOfDarkness}}'' manages to use both versions at the same time!
-->'''Kurtis:''' There's no way Gordon's in trouble. He's probably already defeated the Overlord and is on a picnic somewhere going "La la laaa."\\
''[cut to Gordon, ''enslaved'' by the Overlord, on a picnic somewhere]''\\
'''Gordon:''' La la laaa!
* ''VideoGame/AlphaProtocol''

%%* ''VideoGame/Portal2'': Although there is no actual HardCut or cut at all...
%%-->'''[[spoiler:[=GLaDOS=]]]:''' Well. This is the part where he kills us.\\
%%'''[[spoiler:Wheatley]]:''' Hello! This is the part where I kill you.\\
%%''"Chapter 9: The Part Where He Kills You"''\\
%%'''Achievement Unlocked:''' "The Part Where He Kills You": This is that part.

* From ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank2016'', we get one at the end of Captain Qwark's recruitment speech for the Galactic Rangers on Veldin.
-->'''Qwark:''' If you have heart, then you have what it takes.\\
''[cut to next scene]''\\
'''Qwark:''' You don't have what it takes.\\
'''Ratchet:''' But I have heart.

-->'''Church:''' Private Mickey was the first to go. He was halfway across the base when he started screaming bloody murder. \\

'''Mickey:''' Bloody Murder! Bloody Murder!\\\
'''Church:''' Tex walked up to him, pulled Jimmy's skull right out of his head and beat him to death with it. \\
'''Tucker:''' Wait a second, how do you beat someone to death with their own skull? That doesn't seem physically possible! \\
'''Church:''' That's exactly what Jimmy kept screaming! \\

'''Church:''' Man, I hope Tucker's having an easier time with his part of the plan.\\
''[cut]''\\
'''Tucker:''' Crap. This isn't going very well at all!\\\
'''Grif:''' I bet the Blues don't have to deal with anything this annoying.\\
''[cut]''\\

'''Tucker:''' Man, I sure hope they don't totally freak out when they see us coming. \\

'''Church:''' I'm leaving.\\\
'''Tucker:''' He must be one smart sonuvabitch.\\
''[cut to Donut, completely lost with the flag]''\\
'''Donut:''' Man, I am so freakin' lost!\\\
'''Sarge:''' Let's say the Blues are launching a coordinated offensive.\\
''[cut to Blue Team]''\\
'''Church:''' Where the heck are we? I don't even know this map!\\
'''Tucker:''' Where are the weapons?\\
'''Caboose:''' Which base is ours?

'''Creator/MattSmith:''' ''Absolutely''! I'm going to bite her arm!

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1nJZgBuWw0 This commercial]] for Smorz cereal is basically a succession of this. One boy has a terrible experience trying to make s'mores at a campfire in the woods while another boy enjoys Smorz cereal in his kitchen. They say the same things, but in different contexts.

'''Doctor:'''''(looking at medical scan)'' I don't think I can operate.

-->'''Tai and Shi''': "''Our disguises are perfect! We do not look suspicious!''"
-->'''Every student who sees them''': ''"Those two look suspicious!''"

-->'''[[GhostInTheMachine Ikeda:]]''' Why are we the ones in the wrong?!\\

* Variation: at one point in episode 31 of ''Manga/SoulEater'', Kid suggests to no one in particular that they should have a party. One title card later, we cut to a party being held in his house.
* At one point in ''Manga/SeitokaiYakuindomo'', Suzu accidentally fell on top of Takatoshi, and was seen by Mrs. Hagimura. The same stance, at the same time, in another location (on a field trip), is used with Shino... and a deer. StrangeMindsThinkAlike ensues.

* A double example in ''{{LightNovel/Toradora}}'':

* In a [[http://www.elfquest.com/gallery/OnlineComics/OQ/OQ19/DisplayOQ19.html?page=31 scene]] from ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'', both Leetah and Two-Edge say "I lost." Leetah has been trying to save a life, while Two-Edge has been playing a deadly game with everybody's lives.
* ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' combined this with a subversion of the EvilLaugh. For full effect, Old Lace is a ''Deinonychus''.
-->'''Mr. Wilder:''' I have no doubt [the children] are plotting to destroy us even as we speak.\\
''[cut]''\\
'''Molly:''' Bwa ha ha! I just put a '''hat''' on Old Lace! That is freaking hilarious.
* ComicBook/{{Empowered}}, when her wall clinging ability manifested.

'''Empowered:''' Didn't know that I could '''do''' this...
* ''ComicBook/GreatLakesAvengers'': Great Lakes Initiative has just saved Christmas from a [[HarmlessVillain D-List Villain]], when this ironic echo cut appears:
-->'''Flatman:''' Man, I wish Squirrel Girl was here. This's our biggest adventure in months and she's missing it.\\
''[cut to ComicBook/SquirrelGirl]''\\
'''Uatu the Watcher:''' Congratulations, Squirrel Girl. By defeating [[PhysicalGod Thanos]], you have saved the entire '''multiverse'''. I wish I could have helped, but as a Watcher I am forbidden to interfere.\\
'''Squirrel Girl:''' Hey, that's okay, Uatu. Still, I can't believe me and Tippy-Toe took out the '''real''' Thanos!\\
'''Uatu the Watcher:''' Yes, Squirrel Girl, with my cosmic senses, I can confirm that that is, in fact, '''the one true Thanos''', and not a robot, clone, or simulacrum.
* Well, it's older than the internet, at least. [[http://www.liss.olm.net/loahp/am0319.html Orphan Annie does this!]]

* ''Comicbook/LaffALympics'': Some athletes gave taped interviews.
-->'''Blue Falcon:''' We do it for sport! Only a disreputable and vile person would be interested in the cash prize.\\
'''Dread Baron:''' I am only interested in the cash prize!

* [[http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1987/03/01 This]] ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' strip has Calvin imagining that he drank too much water and turned into a liquid. He figures that he can only survive if he can freeze himself solid until he can get medical attention.

* ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' had a memorable scene in Episode 15, cutting between scenes of Frieza stating confidence in Dodoria's skills and Dodoria screwing up.
-->'''Zarbon:''' How do you think Dodoria is doing out there?\\
'''Freeza:''' We are talking about one of my finest soldiers, there is no way that they'll escape Dodoria's grasp.\\
''[Krillin head-butts Dodoria in the face and escapes]''\\
'''Dodoria:''' Ah, Dammit!\\
'''Zarbon:''' But what if they have any tricks in their sleeves?\\
'''Freeza:''' Come now Zarbon! We know Dodoria wouldn't let them out of sight!\\
''[Krillin blinds Dodoria with a solar-flare, [[CallBack which includes a shot of Freeza in the shower]]]''\\
'''Dodoria:''' Ah, DAMMIT!!\\
'''Zarbon:''' Still, sir, we have to remember that Vegeta is on the planet.\\
'''Freeza:''' Oh Please! Like Vegeta could even lay a hand on Dodoria.\\
''[Vegeta smacks Dodoria downwards]''\\
'''Dodoria:''' [[RuleOfThree AH, DAMMIIIIIT!!!]] ''[splash]''
* ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'':
** There is one in the "Cancelled Series" arc in season 3:

'''Yugi:''' I wonder what Tristan would do in this situation.\\
''[cut to Tristan and Duke in a forest]''\\

'''Marik:''' I am not going to forget my experiences on the surface for a long time.

''(scene transition)''\\

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'', Timon's plan to distract the hyenas.
-->'''Simba:''' C'mon, Timon, you guys have got to create a diversion.\\

'''Ralph:''' ''[to the bartender of Tapper]'' I've never been more serious in my life.
** It also has this when Vanellope shows off her kart, the "Lickety-Split", which is notably less impressive than the other racers'.
--->'''Ralph:''' ''[wincing]'' Sheesh, it looks like she built it herself.\\
'''Vannelope:''' ''[smugly]'' Built it myself.

--->'''Dad's Anger:''' ''[while Dad's emotions cheer on]'' Good job, gentlemen! [[TemptingFate That could've been a disaster]]!\\

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Hoodwinked}}'' does the inversion variety.
-->'''Red Puckett:''' ''[voiceover]'' With the Goodie Bandit on the loose, recipes were becoming an endangered species. I decided to call Granny. If anyone would know what to do, she would.\\

'''Stark:''' Ah...training exercise, isn't that the usual BS? \\
'''Rhodey:''' It's not that simple.\\
''[cut to Rhodey in front of the press]''\\
'''Rhodey:''' An unfortunate training exercise...
* Used often in ''Film/ForrestGump'', sometimes with the variation of having Forrest mention something another character would say, only to cut to that character saying it pretty much word for word.
-->'''Forrest Gump:''' Mama always said life was like a box a chocolates, never know what you're gonna get.\\

'''Mrs. Gump:''' Life's a box of chocolates, Forrest. You never know what you're gonna get.\\\

* ''Film/ClearAndPresentDanger'': An American sniper is targeting a drug lord's house for a laser-guided bomb when a garish yellow truck drives up to the house. His reaction is echoed by the drug lord.

'''Drug Lord:''' What the hell is this?
* ''Film/TheFifthElement'' does these cuts often and does them well.
-->'''Cornelius:''' We're saved.\\

'''Zorg:''' This case is empty.\\

''[Leeloo laughs]''\\
'''Cornelius:''' What do you mean, empty?\\
''[scene switch]''\\
'''Zorg:''' Empty. The opposite of full.
* From ''Film/TheFamilyStone'':
-->'''Everett:''' ''[to his fiancée that he's about to introduce to his family]'' Don't worry, they're going to love you.\\

'''Amy, Everett's sister:''' I hate her.
* Used straight in ''Film/FrightNight1985'', when Charlie tries to reveal what's moved in next door. In this case, the humor comes from the tone of voice: his mother's response is perplexed, as if she isn't even certain what a vampire ''is'', whereas Amy's is outraged that he'd expect her to swallow such an apparent load of hooey. The possibility he might actually know what he's talking about doesn't even occur to either.
-->'''Charlie:''' He's a vampire!\\
'''Charlie's mom:''' A what?\\
''[cut]''\\
'''Charlie's girlfriend:''' A ''what?!''
* Inverted in ''Film/GrossePointeBlank'':
-->'''Martin:''' There's a contract out on your life. Believe me. I was hired to kill you, but I'm not going to do it. It's either because I'm in love with your daughter or because I have a new-found respect for life.\\
''[cut]''\\

* Used in ''Film/FindingForrester'', with Forrester giving Jamal romantic advice.
-->'''Forrester:''' The key to a woman's heart is an unexpected gift at an unexpected time.\\
''[cut]''\\
'''Claire:''' ''[opening a present]'' This is so unexpected!
%%* The live-action film ''Film/GeorgeOfTheJungle'' invokes this trope as much as possible.
* In the film version of ''Film/CatchTwentyTwo'', Colonel Cathcart and Colonel Korn have had enough of Yossarian's troublemaking, and end the meeting with a vow to (metaphorically) "kick him in the balls!" Cut to Yossarian getting literally kneed in the groin by a nurse he'd gotten a little too overly friendly with.
* ''Film/JudgeDredd'': a number of these are chained together, with similar shots and dialogue being used to contrast Dredd's [[FrameUp imprisonment]] and Chief Justice Fargo's "[[WalkingTheEarth retirement]]".
* In ''Film/{{Downstairs}}'', one of the servants at the mansion is counting off the cocktail glasses being set on a tray for the big party. Cut, without missing a beat and with the numbers in sequence, to Karl the evil chauffeur counting the money he's stolen from Sophie the too-trusting cook.
* ''Film/TheSlipperAndTheRose'': The morning after the ball, Cinderella’s stepmother and her stepsisters Palatine and Isobella, still in pajamas, are dizzily gushing and bragging about their fabulous time.

''[cut to Hilts and Ives, covered in dirt, being escorted to the cooler]''

* Creator/JohnRingo tends to have these in his books, especially at chapter transitions. ''Watch on the Rhine'', written by Tom Kratman, as part of Ringo's Literature/LegacyOfTheAldenata has them nearly ''every'' scene change.
* The four ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' novels by Martin Adams ''love'' this trope, but in that case it tends to be a character's voice echoing the narrator or another character's thought processes.
* ''LightNovel/BleachCantFearYourOwnWorld'':

** When Seinosuke Yamada tells his brother Hanataro to take a break from work if he doesn't want to get dragged into the middle of this ([[VaguenessIsComing the coming conflict]]), The scene immediately after that has [[ThoseTwoGuys Mizuiro and Keigo]] running from a Hollow and Keigo yelling "I CAN'T BELIEVE WE WERE DRAGGED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THIS!"
* The ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novel ''Literature/MovingPictures'' has a scene where a cinema owner is imagining what two film stars are doing, unaware that they don't ''know'' they're stars, and the male lead is now working as an assistant horse holder.
-->Prob'ly eating caviar off of golden plates, and lounging around up to their knees in velvet cushions, you bet.\\
*** \\
"You look [[RoadApples up to your knees in it]], lad," said the horse holder.
** ''Literature/MakingMoney'' has one with a BucketBoobyTrap at the Fools' Guild. Vetinari knows it's there and pokes above the door with his walking stick to keep it from landing on him and Moist. He says "I don't know why they persist in doing this. It isn't funny, and someone could get hurt." Then "There was a groan from the other side of the door." So someone did get hurt by the trap. Then again, Vetinari probably doesn't care what happens to a Fool.

-->Appleby was a fair-haired boy from Iowa who believed in God, Motherhood, and the American Way of Life, without ever thinking about any of them, and everybody who knew him liked him.
-->"I hate that son of a bitch," Yossarian growled.
* From the tenth ''Literature/RangersApprentice'' book, when Alyss and Evanlyn propose setting out on their own to get reinforcements for battle:
--> '''Alyss:''' It's such a logical idea, [Halt] can hardly say no, can he?
--> *Cut*
--> '''Halt:''' No! No, no, no -- and, just in case you missed it the first time, no.
* There's an ''unspoken'' one in one of Creator/IsaacAsimov's ''Literature/BlackWidowers'' stories, when a very forgetful man has misplaced the card on which he'd written some information he desperately needs. The Widowers agree not to ask Henry, despite all his previous successes, because there's no way he could just "pull the answer out of a hat" in this situation. Then Henry enters with the card in question; the guest had absentmindedly handed it to Henry when he arrived, along with his hat and coat, and Henry tucked the card into the man's hat for storage. So he ''did'' pull the answer out of a hat -- but no one points this out.
* ''Literature/RedStormRising'': In a tank battle in Germany under low cloud cover, both sides express their disgust with prevailing conditions.
** "Ivan must love this weather," an American tank commander muses, because the clouds are so low that NATO anti-tank aircraft have almost no time to spot targets.
** "The Americans must love this weather," a Russian general complains a few paragraphs later, because the clouds are so low that his anti-aircraft forces have almost no time to ''respond'' to American anti-tank aircraft.
* From ''[[Literature/HonorHarrington A Rising Thunder]]'', on the revelation that [[spoiler:Manticore and Haven have joined forces in a military alliance against Mesa and the Solarian League]]:
-->'''Honor Harrington:''' ...and I don't think Mesa's going to be a ''bit'' happy about that!\\
''[new chapter begins]''\\
'''[[BigBad Albrecht Detweiler]]:''' ''What'' did you say??
* From ''Literature/ArtemisFowl: The Opal Deception'': "No one could pretend to be in a coma for over a year. Surely not. A fairy would have to be totally obsessed. ... ... Chapter 1: Totally Obsessed"
* In ''Literature/AwakeInTheNightLand'', one of the characters talk about his plan to domesticate some feral monsters, then there is a laughter echoing from a distant place called The Country Whence Comes The Great Laughter. The narrator notes that this was more fitting than any answer she could think.
* In the third book of ''Literature/TheWitchlands'', Iseult, in a moment of irritation, notes that she'd much rather it was Safi who had to deal with her problems, as she'd no doubt do way better. Cut to Safi thinking the exact same thing about Iseult.

* ''100 Deeds for Eddie [=McDowd=]'': Gwen's dad has suggested she get a part-time job to pay for an expensive watch she wants.

** ''Cut to her brother, Justin, who has been stuffed in a basketball hoop''*\\

* ''Series/{{Angel}}''. After Angel walks out on their RagtagBunchOfMisfits Cordelia sarcastically hopes that he's happy now, "...all alone in his demon world with no one to talk to." Cut to Angel PerpSweating a demon who's shouting, "I'll talk!"
* ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' frequently uses it straight, but it's subverted in the first season finale when twice, after baldfaced lies, it cuts to an insert saying "FOOTAGE NOT FOUND."
* ''Series/{{Arrow}}''
** In "Damaged", Oliver Queen being polygraphed by the police is intercut with a flashback of his interrogation on Lian Yu.
--->'''Lance:''' Are you the man in this picture? ''(shows Oliver a police sketch of the Hood)''
--->Cut to '''Fyers:''' Where can I find the man in this picture? ''(shows photo of Yao Fei)''
** In "The Candidate", when Felicity Smoak finds that Oliver has bought her a fern and packed a lunch to celebrate her first day back as CEO of Palmer Technologies, she jokes, "Who are you?" Flashback to a mercenary on Lian Yu holding Oliver at gunpoint, asking the same question.

--->'''Iris:''' I can't stop staring at him!
--->''(Cut to Felicity staring at Oliver to guilt-trip him into helping Barry Allen)''
--->'''Oliver:''' Felicity, stop staring at me.

** "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E18Earshot Earshot]]" takes this a bit further, as the 'echo' comes from what Cordelia is thinking, before she speaks -- while everyone else is thinking one thing and saying another, Cordelia thinks "I don't see what this has to do with me" then repeats that exact phrase out loud.
** Delayed echoes are also used in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E5LifeSerial Life Serial]]", in which each act begins with Buffy saying "This is gonna be great" as she prepares for her next new job.

** In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E2RealMe Real Me]]", Harmony turns up at Buffy's house with a gang of vampires, demanding she come out and die. Unfortunately Buffy is elsewhere.
-->'''Harmony:''' I know you're in there! ''(Cut to her talking to Xander)'' What do you mean she's not in there?
*** When Dawn accidentally invited them in, Xander tells Anya that Buffy's not going to be happy about this. Cut to Buffy laughing hysterically at the prospect of Harmony being a legitmate threat.
** In the Season 9 comic, "Women of a Certain Age" two panels juxtaposed, each panel showing one of Giles' aunts, with opposing views of how they feel about Angel trying to resurrect Giles. One thinks he really will succeed and one of them thinks he shouldn't try because he wouldn't.

* ''Series/CobraKai'': "[[Recap/CobraKaiS3E8TheGoodTheBadAndTheBadass The Good, The Bad, and the Badass]]" opens with a montage that cuts back and forth between Daniel [=LaRusso=], Johnny Lawrence, and John Kreese as they give speeches to their respective dojos Miyagi-Do, Eagle Fang and Cobra Kai, showing the contrast in each sensei's philosophy.
-->'''Daniel [=LaRusso=]:''' I know it's been a while since our last class. After the fight at the school, I wasn't sure Miyagi-Do should stay open, but things have gotten worse since we shut down. That's why we're back. The only way to stop Cobra Kai is if we all work together. But always remember, the reason we learn karate is—\\
'''Johnny Lawrence:''' To show the world that you're not a bunch of pansy-ass nerds! We're gonna show 'em that you're tough, because eagles don't get shit on! They're the ones that do the shitting. Just don't forget, being a badass doesn't mean being an asshole. The goal isn't to hurt other kids. The goal is to—\\
'''John Kreese:''' Win at all costs. Those we thought to be our allies have turned against us. Now our enemies are attacking us from all sides. There is no turning back. Now is the time to show them—\\
'''Daniel [=LaRusso=]:''' Forgiveness. Compassion. Mr. Miyagi used to say "if you're looking for revenge, you could start by digging two graves." He was right. If you have hate in your heart, then you've already lost. I know it's not easy, but you have to do whatever you can is—\\
'''Johnny Lawrence:''' To beat the living crap out of 'em! Don't let 'em push you around. You gotta swoop down like an eagle, grab 'em with your claws, and sink your fangs into 'em...but I don't ever want you to start the fight. I just want you to—\\
'''John Kreese:''' Finish it... for good. Do I make myself clear?\\
'''Students:''' YES, SENSEI!!
* In the ''Series/CornerGas'' episode "Oh, Baby", Brent is babysitting an out-of-control child but he says he won't call Emma for help because, "I'm a grown man. He's six. I should be able to handle it." Cut to Emma on the phone with Brent, saying, "You're a grown man. He's six."
* ''Series/{{Coupling}}'' does it a lot, generally involving the two genders talking alone. One of the best examples: Susan has found a porn video in Steve's VCR.
-->'''Patrick:''' You can't tell anything from a title like Inferno. \\
'''Steve:''' Patrick, Inferno isn't the full title. \\
'''Patrick:''' Well, how bad can it be? \\
(Hard cut)\\
'''Sally:''' Lesbian Spank Inferno?!

** In "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire", Homer finds out that Mr. Burns won't be giving any Christmas bonuses, and he mutters "Thank God for the big jar [of money]".
