Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': Characters repeat the last thing they said/did before an ad break.
* '''Straight''': ''The Adventures of Hiro'' features a CommercialBreakCliffhanger where [[TheHero Hiro]] and the rest of his team are about to face off against [[BigBad Emperor Evulz]]. Once they all see Evulz, Hiro says "Oh, crap..." before it cuts to commercial. The first scene after the commercial break shows Hiro saying "Oh, crap..." again.
* '''Exaggerated''': Hiro gives a speech before the ad break, and it's repeated in entirety afterwards.
* '''Downplayed''': The line is rephrased slightly, such as Hiro saying "This can't be good..." after the break, having [[TheLancer Lance]] say "Oh, crap..." the second time instead, or just showing Hiro giving an OhCrap expression instead of actually having him say it again.
* '''Justified''': Hiro is repeating himself because he can't believe what he's seeing.
* '''Inverted''': The commercial break cuts Hiro off mid-sentence, with no attempt to recap once the break is over.
* '''Subverted''': ???
* '''Double Subverted''': ???
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''':
** Hiro doesn't repeat himself after the ad break.
** ''The Adventures of Hiro'' airs on a network without any ad breaks, such as on certain streaming services or on DVD.
* '''Enforced''': The creators of the show want to make sure that the viewers remember what happened before the ad break (especially if the last line said before the commercial break was a WhamLine or something similar), and so they have the character(s) repeat themselves.
* '''Lampshaded''': Lance has MediumAwareness and asks, "Yes, we know we're in trouble, why did you say that again?"
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': "How come Hiro tends to say the same thing twice [[NoFourthWall after a commercial break on our show]]?"
* '''Conversed''': "You know how in some shows, there'll be an ad break, and once they get back to the show, the characters will just repeat themselves?"
