** Used to highlight the [[NotSoDifferent similarities]] between Sylvia and Commander Peepers in "The Battle Royale" as they [[CloudcuckoolandersMinder talk about Wander and Hater]] in one continuous sentence.

* ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder''

* Fine and Rein from ''Anime/FushigiboshiNoFutagohime'' tend to finish each other's sentences when they don't SpeakInUnison.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'', Hans and Anna combine this with StrangeMindsThinkAlike when Anna completes his line about how people who are in love finish each other's - [[Series/ArrestedDevelopment sandwiches]], and Hans exclaims that that's just what he was going to say. [[spoiler:This turns out to be a lie. He's trying to get her to marry him as part of his plan to usurp the kingdom.]]

* ''Film/BloodOftheTribades'': The twins Darvulia and Erzsi ''always'' do this. Every thing they say is alternating sentences.

* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends: Kindred is heavily implied to be the AnthropomorphicPersonification of Death, or rather, the result of said personification splitting itself in two and creating Lamb and Wolf. They have vastly different personalities, but they're never more than a few feet apart and seem to share thoughts, since they constantly speak like this.

They have vastly different personalities, but they're never more than a few feet apart and seem to share thoughts, since they constantly speak like this.
-->'''Lamb:''' Never one...

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'', the troublemakers Lock Shock and Barrel do this at their introduction.

* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'': Lillie and Millie Heyday regularly finish each other's sentences, and Tillie occasionally does the same but usually only with things they've practiced.

* The Fates from Disney's ''Disney/{{Hercules}}'' do this, most noticeably in their introduction, when they're giving Hades the prophecy.
* Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee in Disney's ''Disney/AliceInWonderland'' (but not in the original book).

* In ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'', Hans and Anna combine this with StrangeMindsThinkAlike when Anna completes his line about how people who are in love finish each other's - [[Series/ArrestedDevelopment sandwiches]], and Hans exclaims that that's just what he was going to say. [[spoiler:This turns out to be a lie. He's trying to get her to marry him as part of his plan to usurp the kingdom.]]

* In episode "The Password" of ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', Anais [[{{Parody}} finishes her dad's sentence]] [[Disney/{{Frozen}} and lets him finish her sandwich at the same time]].

* In ''Manga/SaintSeiya'', characters witnessing a shocking [[TheReveal]], or performing a CombinationAttack are prone to this. While the 198x anime had a few well played occurrences (Seiya, Shiryu, Hyoga against Poseidon) of this and in the manga it just works, but in the Hades Inferno/Elysion OVAs (which due to [[ExecutiveMeddling budget cuts and staff changes after the 2002 [=OVAs=] and the 2004 flopped movie]], use the manga directly as if it was an anime storyboard), you end up with the twelve Gold Saints all doing a very poorly executed, long-winded speech, which comes off as Narm.

** The ideal is {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheMethodsOfRationality'', which features a section focusing on the Twins and indicating something magical is at work. They don't actually share one mind, but come to the same conclusions when they have the same information. When one of them thinks differently than the other, they both feel uncomfortable until they share what they know and snap back.

-->'''Field Marshal Von Kluck:''' We were able to dupe Dr. Forrest by posing as a humanitary organization, who planned to wipe out hunger, by ageing cheese faster.\\

** Fitz-Simmons do this a lot, since by the time the show begins they've been firmly established in their relationship as TheDividual for years. They also have a tendency to talk over one another using synonyms before finishing a sentence simultaneously on the same word. The first episode where they're sent on separate missions shows Simmons attempting to finish Skye's sentences during moments of anxiety over Fitz's well-being - which she can do quite accurately, it seems, which doesn't make it any less annoying for Skye.
** Season Two reprises this trait in a very dark way, since [[spoiler:Fitz-Simmons' relationship has been completely destroyed by Fitz's DyingDeclarationOfLove and the brain damage he sustained performing the HeroicSacrifice to save Simmons. While he relies on an imaginary version of her to supply the words that have been destroyed by his aphasia, when he's finally reunited with the real Simmons she's unable to do so, effectively providing an {{Inversion}} of this trope. They start doing so again more later in the season, providing a HesBack over the complicated state of their relationship.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' do this when they try to stop Mojo Jojo from taking over the world with an anubis head:

* Bash and Dash from ''WesternAnimation/ThomasTheTankEngine''. [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] in "Toby and Bash"; when Bash has to work with Toby for the day instead of Dash, has so much trouble finishing any of his sentences that Toby has to figure out what Bash is trying to say.
* Huey, Dewey and Louie, particularly in the Academy Award nominated short "Good Scouts".

* The Lutece twins in ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' do this so much that they actually {{Lampshade}} it ''while'' they're doing it. This becomes doubly justified when it turns out that they're [[spoiler:actually not twins at all, but AlternateUniverse variations on the same person, with gender being literally the only difference between them - meaning that they think and react the same way to everything]] and that [[spoiler:the implication they've lived the same or similar scenarios dozens of times already, so they're pretty good at guessing what's going to happen next anyway.]]
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' has a one-way variant: Quistis can finish Squall's sentences, but he doesn't finish hers. She finds this amusing.

** Brittnay and Mackenzie do this genuinely in Episode 70 [[spoiler: as they reconcile.]]

* Brutally deconstructed in ''Film/{{KungFury}}'' by Kung Fury

* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'': Seven of Nine interrupts Captain Janeway this way; they might be on the same page, [[InsufferableGenius but it's a sign of her arrogance]] that she interrupts the captain.
