History Main / NonSequiturThud

** Spider-Man defeats the Rhino in his introductory episode by leading him into a steam tunnel and dehydrating him. He gets so dehydrated that he starts hallucinating. Spider-Man [[ExloitedTrope uses this to his advantage]] to learn the identity of a crime boss he's chasing.

** Given a slight twist in another comic, where Fighter has a knife in his head. Black Mage flicks it one direction, and Fighter starts singing the theme song to the old ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'' cartoon. BM comments to Thief that if you move it the other way, he does the ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' theme.

The corresponding situation where a character says something random while regaining consciousness, is WakingNonSequitur. If a character says something random while unconscious, that's TalkingInYourSleep. {{Spoonerism}} is a common varia-- '''BONK!'''

The corresponding situation where a character says something random while regaining consciousness, is WakingNonSequitur. If a character says something random while unconscious, that's TalkingInYourSleep. {{Spoonerism}} is a common variation.

** A Wall Street trader is on the phone to his company relaying some important information about the state of the financial market and is hit on the head by a stray golf ball causing him to say: "The Fed is going to be lowering rates, so take your money out of T-bills and put it all into [blow to the head, suddenly cross-eyed] Waffles! Tasty waffles, with lots of syrup!" Cue a scene of Wall Street traders shouting "waffles!" and then, oddly, Japanese traders going crazy screaming "Waffur!".

* The android Kryten from ''Series/RedDwarf'' has suffered a couple of these. In "White Hole", after being used as a battering ram, he responds "I'm fine thank you, Susan" when Lister asks if he's all right[[note]]... though in this case it's a Thud, Non-sequitur. Or more accurately, at least fifty-three thuds, then a non-sequitur.[[/note]]. Later, in "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonVQuarantine Quarantine]]", he gets a fire-axe embedded in his back, causing him to spout gibberish and ram his head into a convenient pillar in order to fix it:
-->'''Kryten:''' ''[gibberish]'' Two and one-half badgers, please -- ''[gibberish]'' ...No, I'll eat them here. -- ''[gibberish, bangs his head on the pillar]'' ...Ah, that's better. Now I can '''''win self-determination for the South Maldivian people!!''' [additional spluttering and gibberish, bangs his head on the post again]''

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':
** In the Orange League episode "A Way-Off Day Off", Team Rocket slides down a zipline while reciting their motto. Both Jessie and James [[WatchOutForThatTree crash into a tree]] at the point where they say their names.

** In the Kalos League episode ''Battling at Full Volume!'', Ash gets a fever after training with Greninja the previous night. He crawls out of his tent and slumps against Serena. He tries to say something, getting stuck on "I...", and Serena blushes, thinking Ash is about to confess his love to her.[[labelnote:*]]It works in both the English ("I love you") and Japanese ("Ai shite iru").[[/labelnote]] Instead...

* In ''ComicBook/XMen'', when [[Comicbook/BeastMarvelComics the Beast]] gets knocked down by a mind-controlled ComicBook/{{Colossus}}, he goes: "Anyone… get the number... of that [[Comicbook/TheMightyThor uru hammer]]?"

** In Part 3, Alessi yells "[[{{Catchphrase}} ATTABOY]]!" as Star Platinum and Silver Chariot send him flying after a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.

* ''Film/TheBigLebowski'': "That rug... really... tied the room together." Though it's hardly a non sequitur in context— more like a CatchPhrase.

!!Exa-- '''BONK!''' Fatimah's coming! Batten down the hatches!

[[folder:Web Comi-- '''BONK!''' I can give you all the hummus you want.]]

* In the ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'' episode "Roof", after Butthead knocks Beavis off the roof, he lands on his head, when he gets up in a dazed manner he says "I’m alright, don’t want to be late for kindergarten, circle time sucks!".

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': Physical trauma (especially post-regenerative stress) often causes the Doctor to get mixed up and refer to former companions and adventures.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11798428/7/Fall-to-Zenith Fall to Zenith]]'', Voldemort uses the truck version after [[LightNovel/HighSchoolDxD Serafall]] turns him into a [[Franchise/{{Disgaea}} Prinny]] and then kicks him, sending him ricocheting into several walls.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'':

* ''Film/TheAdventureOfSherlockHolmesSmarterBrother'': After receiving a (giant) [[GroinAttack boot to the groin]], Moriarty's unnamed assistant (Roy Kinnear) calls out "Oh taxi!" and collapses.

* In Roberta Hogan's Milkshake! Mix video "It's Funny Cuz He Bleed Himself!", Foxy yells out this before he passes out from a [[DizzyCam traumatic punching experience]].
-->'''Foxy:''' WOOOOOOA!!!

** Also, after trying coffee for the first time, Summer finds out what happens when the [[KlatchianCoffee caffeine]] [[http://eheroes.thecomicseries.com/comics/377/ wears off.]]
** The line from the first linked comic, "Thank you Bishop, I'd like another pint of concrete" got elevated to running gag status when it made its glorious return later, when some supervillains got a righteous asskicking. The last of them politely refuses the pint before collapsing, since she is driving.

* In the final episode of ''Series/GoodOmens2019'', Crowley is [[TapOnTheHead clocked on the head]] by another demon and groans "It's not a problem, it's tickety-boo" before passing out.

** In "Black Mystery Month", after taking a comically long fall through several layers of a rickety staircase, Stan reach the bottom, stands, and groggily states "...And that's where babies come from!"

A character has suffered an {{amusing injur|ies}}y, usually of the blunt force to the head variety. Dazed, he will say something really random and NonSequitur, normally either before going out like a light or [[WakingNonSequitur after being awakened]]. It seems that with proper application of blunt trauma, the human skull becomes a radio receiver tuned to a random station somewhere in the world. Three [[StockPhrases common phrases]] used are "[[HowManyFingers How many fingers am I holding up?]]" (helpful bystander), some variation of "[[IWantMyMommy I don't wanna go to school today, mommy]]" and "Anybody get the number of that truck?" (victim). The character may also [[DeliriousMisidentification mistake someone closest for someone else]] during such.

* In issue #11 of the ''ComicBook/DarkwingDuck'' comic, after hitting his head the villain Steelbeak says "Ma? That you? I will watch my language... Buster told me to," which is a shout-out to ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures''. Steelbeak and Fowlmouth were both voiced by ''Creator/RobPaulsen'' using nearly identical voices.

* In one ''ComicBook/TomorrowStories'' story featuring Splash Brannigan, Splash sets himself up as a FilmNoir detective and gets embroiled in a tense mystery. He also narrates the whole story out loud, which means he talks like this: "'C'est la vie, ma chère, I [[SaidBookism wheezed, Frenchly.]]" When he's drugged, he manages to say "'Now, what about this urble flurgle glurb blufungle?', I unicorned, orangely." before passing out.

** After a few too many drinks, Iron Man says "[[ShoutOut Thank you Andre; I'll have the veal picatta]]," then passes out, falling forward onto his face. And then through the floor; Spider-Man is surprised to discover that Stan's Place has a basement. Presumably this is a ShoutOut to ''Film/HotShots''

* In the Disney film ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceAndThePauper,'' Goofy, disguised as an executioner, inadvertently knocks out a weasel guard with his axe while trying to save Donald and the Mickey look-a-like. The weasel guard babbles, "Thank you, I had a lovely evening," and kisses Goofy before passing out.

* Another rare non-comedic example crops up in ''Film/BlackHawkDown'' of all places. One of the rangers gets a little too close for comfort to an RPG explosion. One of the Delta members (after dispatching the guy with the launcher) rushes over to check him. After uncovering him from all the rubble, he merely asks "Are you alright? Are you OK?" Which is answered by "Yeah, I can hear bells ringin'," which gives the Delta member a good laugh. Justified in that the characters were in a war zone, and since his response was stating a physical condition he was dealing with at that moment, he was still very much alert. Or, at least alert enough to remain combat effective until he could be thoroughly checked out by a medic or doctor.

** [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20051109 During]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20051111 three]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20051114 strips]], Agatha tells her entire life story after being drugged with a TruthSerum in her wine. She ends the tale with, "And this is simply a ''lovely'' torte," and faceplants in her dessert, which is the truth-telling equivalent of ArsonMurderAndJaywalking since it really ''is'' a nice torte.

** In "Of Nice and Men," Rita bumps her head into a door.

** And in "Dough Dough Boys," as Pesto is describing how he'll deal with an opposing army, the birds are blown up by a shell, and he dazedly mutters "I mean it, I'll really whack em!"

* In the ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' episode, "Operation: D.O.D.G.E.B.A.L.L.", the Dodgeball Wizard hits Numbuh Four with a bunch of balls, plastering him against the wall. He dazedly says, "No more pickled herrings for me, mommy, I got a tummy ache," before falling on the ground.

** In the episode "Beddy Buy", after Garfield gets hit on the head with a ham, he stumbles around, says [[Franchise/StarWars "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you are my only hope,"]] then CLUNK!!!

* Harold from ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' usually says "[[{{Spoonerism}} Easy squeezy lemon peezie]]!" when he gets bumped on the noggin. Another episode had him say "'Night, mommy."

* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' naturally follows in the original's footsteps. One episode features a two-segment story, "Kon-Ducki" (a parody of ''Kon Tiki'') followed by a "Making of Kon-Ducki" segment. In that segment, Hamton shoots a scene where he lifts a glass and says, "Ah, mango juice," before being hit by a falling ship's mast. After sixty-plus takes, the completely out-of-it pig murmurs, "[[Series/TheHollywoodSquares I'll take Charley Weaver to block...]]"

* While ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'' tends to eschew cartoon violence, they'll make an exception when it comes to Larry-Boy. In "The League of Incredible Vegetables," Larry-Boy gets rapidly and repeatedly kicked in the head by a penguin, collapses, and is heard to moan, "Wake me up when the pancakes are ready, mommy..."
