* In [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0466.html this]] WebComic/OrderOfTheStick comic, Redcloak makes a speech on how, thanks to the destruction of Azure City, no goblin would be killed by their paladins again. Xykon's response?
-->"[[SarcasmMode Gosh, I'm getting teary just thinking about it!]] Oh, no, wait, that's just condensation on my undead skull. Sending spell to Redcloak: All I care about is the MacGuffin, and ours just blew up."

* [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation Yahtzee's]] comparison between ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' and ''Franchise/StarWars'', with ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' being "what you'd get if you took out everything that was good about ''Star Wars'' and replaced it with [[ConspicuousCG dodgy CGI]] and [[{{Wangst}} laughable angst]]. Oh wait."

** Happens a lot with many of the works of Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.

-->'''BowlerHatGuy''' ''(disembodied voice)'': All he wants is to go back in time to find the mother he never knew... But they won't let him. We'd let him, wouldn't we? Too bad we don't have a time machine. Oh wait...''(time machine materializes)'' we do.

** A ''much'' darker version can come up, if Shepard betrays [[spoiler: Wrex at the Genophage cure]], the latter will try to kill him, and if Ashley is killed during [[spoiler: Udina's attempted coup]], he will sarcastically suggest Shepard call Ashley to help, and then say "Oh right, you killed her too! And it's time you found out how that feels!"

* At one episode of ''Series/{{Becker}}'', John tells Chris's ex-husband a [[ShaggyDogStory fairly pointless]] story that ends with he and some friends watching the sunrise - he mentions this as if it was the most interesting part of it. Roger replies, "[[DeadpanSnarker There's something you don't see everyday]]. Oh wait, you do."

* The WebVideo/{{Bum Review|s}} of ''Film/{{Zombieland}}'' ended with Chester A. Bum insisting that [[JustForFun/XMeetsY more movies need to be mixed with]] ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'', "Like ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'' mixed with ''Theatre/{{Dreamgirls}}''! Oh wait, that was called ''{{Glitter}}''."

Many of the examples below are not actually "Hypothetical -- oh wait -- that's true!" Alternate forms include "Reasonable plan -- oh wait -- we can't because of something obvious." Or, "Blatant lie -- oh wait -- truth." The final one is sometimes used as a real-life [[SarcasmMode sarcasm tag]], often overlapping with DontExplainTheJoke.

-->'''Blossom''': So you see? The only way to save the Earth is by eating broccoli.
-->'''Football Kid''': Aw, don't believe her! This is just some kinda trick to get us to eat vegetables!
-->'''Buttercup''': What?! You doubt the word of a Powerpuff? Or maybe you're just scared to eat vegetables. Tell you what. Why don't you just run on home to your mama and see if she'll make you a baloney sandwich? Oh, wait. You know what? She CAN'T! 'Cause she's been zapnotized by alien invaders! But you don't want to help save her, 'cause you don't feel like eating a few vegetables!
