Basic staple of any WillTheyOrWontThey set up. May be caused by DatePeepers. Compare InterruptedIntimacy and InstantTurnOff. The most common subtrope is the AlmostKiss. If the moment is about to lead to a declaration of love, then it might be an InterruptedDeclarationOfLove. Can overlap with PoorlyTimedConfession.

Understandably, Jackie and Viper's attention is immediately off what was about to happen.



* ''WesternAnimation/WallE'': Another subversion of this trope pops up in the final scene: [[spoiler:WALL•E and EVE finally hold hands, staring lovingly into each other's eyes while WALL•E's tape of ''Film/HelloDolly'' reaches the "It Only Takes a Moment" scene.

* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW'' does this to the point of a RunningGag - though not always PlayedForLaughs.
** In Issue #5, Sonic's decided to leave the amnesiac Eggman in peace, and everything is looking up. And just as he's about to leave Shadow shows up to murder Eggman.
** Issue #30 has two instances of this trope:
*** [[spoiler:Cream and Gemerl's reunion with Vanilla amid dozens of cheering people is rudely interrupted by Zavok.]]
*** Wave comments on Jet's noble act of sticking with her and Storm back in Issue #28, rather than save himself when he had the chance.[[labelnote:Spoiler]]Jet's airboard was still working after the fight with Zik, but Wave and Storm lost their boards to Zik's Zombot horde, leaving them stranded.[[/labelnote]] This prompts Jet to brag about how heroic and noble he was, ruining the moment.
** In Issues #31-32, everyone is celebrating [[spoiler:the Metal Virus' demise]] when Eggman suddenly crashes the party in a giant battle mech, announcing his presence with what might as well be a comic book version of ChewingTheScenery.
--->'''Eggman:''' TREMBLE IN FEAR, FOOLS! I AM DR. EGGMAN—GREATEST OF PARTY CRASHERS IN THE FIERCEST OF PARTY CRUSHERS!
** In issue #64, Blaze and Silver have a sweet heart-to-heart discussion over how much they admire each other... and then Sonic announces his presence with TheNoisyStraw to end all noisy straws, tells them they're great together, grabs his takeout pasta and leaves as fast as he came.
--->'''Silver:''' There are days I don't know whether he is the coolest guy in the world or if I should throw a car at him.
