* In ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'', everyone knows pretty much immediately about Scott, age 23, dating a high schooler, to the point that Scott tells his friend Wallace, who is drunk and passed out, and not two seconds later Scott's sister calls to yell at him about it.
-->'''Scott''' (noticing Wallace, who is passed out but holding his cell phone as if he'd sent a text while unconscious): Wallace, that gossipy bitch...

[[folder: Literature ]]

* Katherine Kurtz's Literature/{{Deryni}} novels ''The Bishop's Heir'' and ''The King's Justice''. Many of the characters make regular efforts to invoke Mind Speech over distances to explain where they are on a military campaign, or to keep the ones on campaign up to date on what's happening back home. These efforts are often integral to the plot.

** Notably, [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Marta]] telling Al about Fuhrer Bradley in [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist the 2003 anime version]]; as soon as she learns the information, telling him is the first thing she does (which is good as immediately afterward, [[spoiler:Bradley kills her]]).

[[folder: Tabletop Games ]]

* Can metahappen to poor effect in tabletop games when characters already know info before being told or even introduced.

* ''{{Chuck}}'', usually. Anytime there's a big secret between two characters, it's only an episode or two before it's resolved. The one big exception is Chuck's spy status.

* In ''EdenOfTheEast'', everyone is kept apprised of the evolving situation as information filters through. It helps that cell phones are a major part of the plot.

* In ''ScottPilgrimVersusTheWorld'', everyone knows pretty much immediately about Scott, age 23, dating a high schooler, to the point that Scott tells his friend Wallace, who is drunk and passed out, and not two seconds later Scott's sister calls to yell at him about it.

* In ''FullMetalAlchemist'', in all versions, the heroes make every attempt to inform each other despite being spread out. There is only one aversion, when the death of Hughes is kept from the Elrics.
** Notably, [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Marta]] telling Al about Fuhrer Bradley in the first anime; as soon as she learns the information, telling him is the first thing she does (which is good as immediately afterward, Bradley [[spoiler:kills her]]).
