3	->'''Dan''': Well, Ross, what do you have to say for yourself?\
4	'''Ross''': Do you think, um, do you think if someone was afraid of [[UsefulNotes/BarackObama Obama]], they'd be called Baracknophobic? ''(falls right back to sleep)''

8
9	Alice is in a coma, is sleeping or is otherwise unconscious. Upon waking, a non sequitur bursts from her lips. There's a chance that [[DeliriousMisidentification she mistakes the closest person as someone else]] during such.
10
11	The obvious implication is that the character was having a dream at the time, and since they haven't fully woken up yet, they haven't yet realized that it was in fact a dream.
12
13	Compare TalkingInYourSleep and NoodleImplements (when the outburst is implied to relate to a dream). The inverse is NonSequiturThud, where a character says something random just before going down for the count.
14
15	Can overlap with UnPaused. Not to be confused with a [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Walking Non Sequitur]] who just talks like this all the time. If the non-sequitur is said while snapping out of a fantasy rather than a dream, it's ActingOutADaydream.

70	* ''[[Fanfic/TheSpectacularSpiderManLostInGotham The Spectacular Spider-Man: Lost in Gotham]]'': During a stakeout, Spoiler falls asleep while Spider-Man keeps watch. When he wakes her up, she mumbles "Kill you, Abraham Lincoln...". Doubles as a MythologyGag.

83	* Beans in ''WesternAnimation/{{Rango}}'' tends to freeze up at random (it's a survival trait for her species, but "her switch is broken"). When she recovers... no-one is sure ''what'' was going through her mind while she was frozen, but it is probably interesting.
84	-->'''Beans:''' And until the people of Andromeda Five return him safe and sound, I will ''not'' sell my ranch!

92	* In ''Film/AdviseAndConsent'', an elderly spends all his time sleeping at his desk in the Senate chamber. When roused for a vote, or anything, he snaps to attention yelling "Opposed sir! Unalterably opposed!" In one case another Senator has to tell him that in this case he's actually for the bill. He then falls back asleep.
93	* ''Film/{{Bananas}}'': As Creator/WoodyAllen is roused after being knocked out, he's moaning "...no more Polish women!"

97	* Played with in ''Film/ColdMountain''. Teague and his Home Guard come across several deserters hiding in the mountains.

Which is just as well, as Georgia is actually the name of another deserter who's hiding nearby.

100	-->'''Ron:''' [[CatapultNightmare Spiders! Spiders! They want me to tap dance. I don't wanna tap dance!]]\

104	* In ''Film/HotToTrot'', when Creator/BobcatGoldthwait is being woken up, he mumbles, "I don't wanna go to school..."
105	* In ''Film/TheManFromSnowyRiver'', one of Jim's fellow ranch-hands at Harrison's jolts awake with a shout of, "It was him or me!" Unlike most examples of this trope, it's very [[DarkAndTroubledPast not played for comedy]].
106	* In the sequel to ''Film/TheMightyDucks'', Don Tibbles gets hit by one of Fulton's slapshots; upon being revived, he asks for "a cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate shake."
107	* ''Film/TheMummy1999''. When the heroes are crossing the desert, they ride on through the night, some of them sleeping while still riding their camels.

113	* ''Film/{{Shocker}}'' has someone exclaim "football practice!" as they wake with a start. Quoting this when a character on the screen wakes up became a running joke on ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' and later ''WebVideo/{{Cinemasins}}''
114	* Subverted in ''Film/{{Singles}}''; when Cliff and Linda get into a car accident [[spoiler:that ends up causing her ConvenientMiscarriage]], they both have to go to the hospital. Linda, coming out of it, mutters, "James" a couple of times, which confuses Steve, until she continues, "[[UsefulNotes/NationalBasketballAssociation James Worthy is a star. X is just a player]]", which isn't a non-sequitur, as it refers to a discussion she and Steve were having before the crash.
115	* In ''[[Film/SisterAct Sister Act 2]]'', Mary Clarence wakes up a dozing student in her class, who blurts out, "Paper or plastic?"
116	* In ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'', Lone Starr and Princess Vespa are about to kiss when Dot Matrix's "[[MomentKiller Virgin Alarm]]" goes off, waking Barf.

118	* In ''Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome'', as they're bringing Chekov out of unconsciousness, Kirk asks him his name and rank to see if he's all there. Slightly unfocused, he gives them "Pavel Chekov" as his name, then gets a big grin on his face and says, "Rank: Admiral..."
119	* In ''Film/StepBrothers'', after Brennan and Dale trash the house via their respective sleepwalking habits, Brennan's mother Nancy goes into their room in the morning to wake them up, only for the former to awaken and shout out "I'll kill you, Creator/LeonardNimoy!" and the latter to cry out while waking "The clown has no penis!" This causes her to lampshade the weirdness of their dreams.
120	[[/folder]]
121
122	[[folder:Zzzzzz... Just get the Literature out of the washing machine and we'll call it even!]]
123	* ''[[Literature/ArtemisFowl Artemis Fowl: The Atlantis Complex]]'' has Foaly waking up [[ItMakesSenseInContext after Holly knocked him out]] saying, "Not the stripy ones! They're just little babies." As soon as he realizes he's awake he asks Artemis if [[DidISayThatOutLoud he said that out loud.]]
124	* In Craig Shaw Gardner's ''Literature/BrideOfTheSlimeMonster'' Doctor Dread wakes shortly after having fainted when he saw the monster that slimed him and his henchmen earlier.
125	-->'''Doctor Dread:''' No, Mother, don't take my teddy--
126	* In ''Literature/GoingPostal'', Moist von Lipwig has a crazy dream about "bottled wizards, all shouting his name", and shouts "Some of them were covered in jam!" as he's awakened by Mr. Pump. ItMakesSenseInContext.
127	* ''Literature/HarryPotter'':
128	** ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'' has Mundungus Fletcher falling asleep during a meeting. After the meeting is over, he then wakes up, "Nhh... Are we voting? I 'gree with Sirius!"
129	** The first book has another example: When Hagrid comes to the hut on the rock to pick up Harry, he announces his presence with loud knocks. Dudley is startled awake. "Where's the cannon?"
130	** Creator/JKRowling likes this trope. It happens to Ron a few times too; for example when Harry shakes him awake in one scene he randomly shouts something about Quidditch fouls.
131	* In the ''Literature/LordPeterWimsey'' novel ''Clouds of Witness'', Parker falls asleep in front of the fireplace while waiting for Wimsey. As Wimsey enters, Parker wakes up and says: "The glass-blower's cat is bompstaple". In the dream that Parker just had, this is the solution to the mystery. Awake, he can't even remember what "bompstaple" meant.
132	* In book 7 of ''Literature/RangersApprentice'', Will wakes up after nearly dying of thirst to find Umar bent over him, pouring water down his throat. Struck by the man's physical appearance, all he can say is, "...That's a big nose."
133	* In ''Literature/RealMermaids Don't Hold Their Breath'', Cori is sleeping over at Jade's house. When Jade's dad wakes her up by accident, she says, "Is the clam in the bucket? Did the clown put the clam in the bucket?"
134	* ''Literature/WordSmartJunior'' has one scene where Barnaby, waking from a nightmare about his parents forcing him to take ballet lessons, starts muttering incoherently:
135	-->'''Barnaby:''' Tights. Tight-fisted fish in a peddle of pickles. I said don't to be glimming my tulip, pilgrim. No and no again! Time to pay the spleen!
136	[[/folder]]
137
138	[[folder:Zzzzz... Please, Live-Action TV, I can get you more lipstick!]]
139	* ''Series/{{ALF}}'' says, "Please... no more portly women!" after waking up from fainting when he reads about his cousin Blinky in the newspaper.
140	* A RunningGag in ''Series/AsTimeGoesBy'' is Lionel's habit of doing this, and then not remembering what the dream was about when Jean asks what could possibly have prompted such a dramatic statement as "which is why I had no alternative."
141	* In ''Series/BetterOffTed'', Dr. Bhamba wakes up and shouts "Crocodiles!" Though we do get an explanation...
142	-->'''Dr. Bhamba:''' I was having a dream, and all I remember was a curious lack of crocodiles, so I began calling out for them.
143	* Sheldon Cooper from ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' does this often:
144	** In an episode, Sheldon is woken up in the middle of the night and immediately yells "[[Series/LostInSpace DANGER! DANGER!]]"
145	** From another episode:
146	--->'''Leonard Hofstadter:''' Sheldon, can I talk to you for a minute?\
147	'''Sheldon Cooper:''' ''[waking up]'' I want another cookie, Meemaw.\
148	'''Leonard Hofstadter:''' It's just me.\
149	'''Sheldon Cooper:''' But Meemaw was just making cookies.
150	** When the gang must [[ItMakesSenseInContext spend a whole night gluing felt flowers]] and singing tunes to keep the assembly line going, Penny notices Sheldon has dozed off. Upon waking him up, he starts singing "Sixteen Tons", most likely a song the rest of them were singing when he fell asleep.
151	* In one episode of ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'', Cory says "No [[MonsterClown clown]]! No!" when Shawn wakes him up from a nap. This joke was later reused in another episode several seasons later when Topanga wakes up Shawn.
152	* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
153	** In an early episode, Willow has been sleeping over an open book and suddenly bolts upright, crying, "Don't warn the tadpoles!" When Giles expresses surprise, she sheepishly admits, "I... I have a frog fear."
154	** In the last episode, during [[TheChosenOne Buffy]]'s tense talk with the First Evil, a sleeping [[DorkKnight Spike]] suddenly calls out "[[MoodWhiplash I'm drowning in footwear!]]" After the First vanishes and Spike has a few seconds to realize where he is, [[LampshadeHanging he comments that]] [[RealDreamsAreWeirder that was a really weird dream]].
155	* During the aftermath of the 2000 presidential election, correspondents at ''Series/TheDailyShow'' were working around the clock to keep up with what was going on. Creator/StephenColbert, caught napping at the desk: [[http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-november-8-2000/barn-burner "If ifs and ands were pots and pans, there'd be no work for tinkers!"]]
156	* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
157	** In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E1Robot Robot]]", the Fourth Doctor's first words are "Sontarans! Perverting the course of human history!" Amazingly, this does have context: it's a CallBack to "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS11E1TheTimeWarrior The Time Warrior]]".
158	** This was later repeated by the Twelfth Doctor [[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E4Listen twice]], the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS36E12TheDoctorFalls second time]] after [[spoiler:almost regenerating]].
159	** At one point in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E3TheDeadlyAssassin The Deadly Assassin]]", Four wakes up beside a machine that just burned out and says "Do you mind? This is a non-smoking compartment."
160	* When ''Series/ElChapulinColorado'' is suddenly woken up after he fainted, he says each one of his {{Catch Phrase}}s (of which there are lots) in quick succession.
161	* For a while, ''Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond'' had this as a RunningGag, with Raymond being woken and blurting out things like "There's pudding everywhere!" or "It's all squishy!"
162	* In ''Series/TheFallAndRiseOfReginaldPerrin'' Uncle Jimmy, who had previously been complaining about the shortcomings of public transport on the island of Malta, is awakened from a doze and shouts: "Well, why ''don't'' you have Red Rover tickets[[note]]a ticket allowing unlimited travel on London buses and tubes for a single day[[/note]], you Maltese fool?" It was made worse because he was in church at the time. At a funeral service.
163	* Late in the ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' episode "[[Recap/FireflyE06OurMrsReynolds Our Mrs. Reynolds]]", Mal is drugged and passes out. When Simon and the rest of the crew revive him, Mal's first words are to ask if it's Christmas.
164	* ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'':
165	** In the episode "Boyz in the Woods", Will, Carlton, and Uncle Phil are forced to sleep in a cave during a blizzard. When Uncle Phil is shook awake the next morning, he jumps up yelling "[[AllWomenAreLustful Vivian, I'm not a machine!]]"
166	** In the episode "Clubba Hubba", Carlton, Uncle Phil and Geoffrey are all teaching Will how to be a gentleman and everyone except him has fallen asleep [[ItMakesSenseInContext waiting for him to pick out the correct fork]]. As Carlton wakes up Geoffrey after Will got the right answer, he cries out to him "Get your own Geisha!"
167	* Alan Partridge usually says something odd when waking up from his... well, just watch ''Series/ImAlanPartridge''.
168	* ''Radio/TheJackBennyProgram'': Jack asks Rochester a question (while Rochester is driving), and Rochester is startled awake and yells, "Put the coffee on honey!".
169	* ''Series/{{Kaamelott}}'': At the end of episode "L'Ivresse" ("Drunkenness"), Perceval, after passing out drunk on a tavern table, suddenly raises his head and shouts "Independent Wales!" at the top of his lungs. And after that...
170	-->'''Perceval:''' Fuck, I have a woodpecker in my head, is that normal?
171	* ''Series/{{Lucifer}}'': In the season 4 episode "Orgy Pants To Work", Lucifer falls asleep on a stake-out after his hedonistic lifestyle starts to take a toll on him and when Chloe wakes him up he jerks awake with a startled "Fetch me the goat!".
172	* Grandma Ida from ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' proves to be [[ItsAllAboutMe a self-centered old bitch]] even in her dreams by shouting, "[[DirtyCoward Take the children! Just let me live!]]" after being roused awake by Lois.
173	* ''Series/{{MASH}}'':
174	** In an episode, Radar tries to wake up Klinger, who mutters, "Ma, I don't ''wanna'' go to school today, I've got a headache." Radar identifies himself, to which Klinger replies, "Radar, I don't ''wanna'' go to school today!"
175	** In another episode, Major Burns is trying to wake Radar to begin the morning assembly. While still asleep Radar appears to think he is back on his family farm in Iowa by saying "Yes Ma, feed the chickens and slop the pigs Sooey!"
176	** An assumption of this leads to the entire plot of the episode. Radar asks Klinger where Margaret Houlihan is, and despite his grogginess, he gives a relatively accurate, if imprecise, answer. But he's so out of it that Radar assumes his answer (which doesn't quite make sense with the information Radar has) is one of these and irrelevant to the question, especially given that he then blurts out another non-sequitur ("let's get back in the front seat, here come the cops") and immediately goes back to sleep. (It does beg the question of why no-one thought to question Klinger again after he woke up.)
177	** In a late season episode, the 4077th has run of anesthetic gas for the patients so they resort to old fashioned ether to knock the patients out. At one point, Major Houlihan faints dead away from all of the fumes and the doctors have to revive her. When she begins to come around she starts trying to push the oxygen mask away while muttering "Keep your hands to yourself, general."
178	* ''Series/ModernFamily'': When they're woken up in the middle of the night by the phone, the first thing out of Cam's mouth is "I'll bet that's Mama, I was just dreaming it was raining chickens!" When Mitchell is told that Haley got arrested and tells his husband, Cam responds with "That explains the chickens."
179	* A running gag on ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' featured a riffer shouting "Football practice!" when someone wakes up abruptly.
180	* ''Series/RedDwarf'' has possibly the best take on the "I don't want to go to school today" version of this trope:
181	-->'''Lister:''' Rimmer, you awake? ''Rimmer, you awake?!''\
182	'''Rimmer:''' (''wakes up'') What? Yes, Mum, I'm just packing my satchel!
183	* In one episode of ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'', Salem blurts out "GLEE CLUB!" when he's woken up.
184	* On ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', J.D. regularly do these when he zones out and has an ImagineSpot. The Todd lampshades it at one point, finding it annoying.
185	* Played straight in the second season of ''Series/SeaPatrol''. During the course of her duties, the XO of HMAS ''Hammersley'' was surreptitiously dosed with Rohypnol by a fisherman/murderer.

Before he can argue the point, he's returned to his own present where he passes out; he wakes up an hour later muttering, "I haven't given up... I won't give up..."

When he's healed, he wakes up mumbling, [[NoodleIncident "I'm sorry, Uncle, I'll never take a drink from your private stash again..."]] Probably related to the fact that his uncle Shojo apparently has a taste for Dwarven brandy. [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0373.html Which happens to double as a high explosive.]]
229	** Blackwing (V's raven {{familiar}}), after being hit by a trap, wakes up in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0857.html "The Pit of Despair"]].[[note]]It's not completely nonsensical if you're familiar with the Nursery Rhyme [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sing_a_Song_of_Sixpence Sing a Song of Sixpence]], which features a reference to "Four and Twenty [meaning 24] Blackbirds baked in a pie" -- Blackwing + 23 friends = 24 blackbirds.[[/note]]

248	--->'''Ross:''' Do you think, um, do you think if someone was afraid of Obama they'd be called Baracknophobic?
249	** On [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9CB1VKVSLk an episode]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' released the very same day on ''Grumpcade'', Ross gives his perspective on the story. That train of thought came from hearing Kevin talk about his fear of bugs while he was feeling super sleepy.
250	** During their episode on "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Y8K3p2jXa8 Paranoiascape]]", Dan briefly falls asleep, and, upon waking up, says "Thank God fish aren't into cash."

(This is [[BrickJoke brought back at the review's end]], where the other host notes the movie BrokeTheRatingScale - "'Sleep-inducing' is too harsh, 'Average' [[DamnedByFaintPraise is too complimentary]]" - and the guy decides the best category for the film is 'Gilberto Gil'.)
252	* ''WebVideo/{{Unskippable}}'', much like ''[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]]'', is fond of shouting "I'm late for class!" when a character wakes up suddenly.
