-->'''Mickey:''' ''(in disbelief)'' [[Little No No. No, no!]]

-->'''Pete:''' [[BigYes Yes, yes, YES!]] Face it, Mickey, it's all for one. [[PuncturedForEmphasis And you! Are on! Your OWN!]]

'''Batman:''' Oh wait, ''I did''. (smirks)

-->'''Marty:''' Well, if you're so sure you're indispensable maybe you should run for [condo board] president. Oh, wait -- you did. Five times.\\

--->-- ''Series/{{Frasier}}''

-->'''Joey:''' Hey, get a load of Marik, guys! He's so scared his hair is standing up. [[AnimeHair Oh wait, he always looks like that.]]

'''Amy:''' Lassie ''is'' in the Louvre.\\\

--->'''Clayface:''' You didn't think I came alone, did you?\\

'''Buttercup''': What?! You doubt the word of a Powerpuff? Or maybe you're just scared to eat vegetables. Tell you what. Why don't you just run on home to your mama and see if she'll make you a baloney sandwich? Oh, wait. You know what? She CAN'T! 'Cause she's been zapnotized by alien invaders! But you don't want to help save her, 'cause you don't feel like eating a few vegetables!\\

-->[[spoiler:'''Peridot:''']] [[SarcasmMode No one could possibly know what that feels like!]] Oh wait — '''I do!''' We're the same! Except...you don't have to be alone.

-->'''Blossom''': So you see? [[ItMakesSenseInContextThe only way to save the Earth is by eating broccoli]].\\

-->'''Blossom''': So you see? The only way to save the Earth is by eating broccoli.\\

* ''FreaksAndGeeks'':

* Invoked and lampshaded in ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}'':
-->'''Fry:''' That's like digging up Lassie and putting her on display in the Louvre!
-->'''Amy:''' Lassie ''is'' in the Louvre.
-->'''Fry:''' I know; I was deliberately describing a similar situation.

-->'''Leela:''' YoureJustJealous!
-->'''Fry:''' No I'm not! Oh wait, I am. [[DumbassHasAPoint But my point remains valid!]]
* [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 The 2003 animation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] uses this in one of the episodes where an alien invasion is faked.

-->'''Candace:''' Oh, forget it. I guess I'm too old for dolls anyway.
-->'''Vanessa:''' (sarcastically) Yeah, maybe I don't really ''have'' to have the one object my dad spent years to find in order to show me his affection. (beat) No, actually I do. Gimme that, kid!
* In the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Chick Cancer" when Stewie decides that women respond when you treat them like crap.
-->'''Stewie''': Hey, babe. What do you say, we going out Saturday night?
-->'''Olivia''': Stewie, what are you doing here? I told you, I'm just into a different type of guy.
-->'''Stewie''': Oh, yeah? I'll tell you what you're into. Being ugly.
--> '''Olivia''': Stewie, you're being mean.
--> '''Stewie''': No. If I was being mean, when you opened the door I would have said, "Oh, hey, Ray Liotta, is Olivia home? Oh, wait, you're Olivia." You see, I thought you were Ray Liotta because your skin has the texture of a decorative autumn squash. So, I'll pick you up at 7:00?
--> '''Olivia''': (in tears) That sounds wonderful.

--> '''Quagmire''': (furious) ...and by the way, driving a Prius doesn't make you Jesus Christ--OH,WAIT!--You don't ''believe'' in Jesus Christ, or ''any'' religion for that matter, because (mockingly) "religion is for idiots".

-->'''Blossom''': So you see? The only way to save the Earth is by eating broccoli.
-->'''Football Kid''': Aw, don't believe her! This is just some kinda trick to get us to eat vegetables!
-->'''Buttercup''': What?! You doubt the word of a Powerpuff? Or maybe you're just scared to eat vegetables. Tell you what. Why don't you just run on home to your mama and see if she'll make you a baloney sandwich? Oh, wait. You know what? She CAN'T! 'Cause she's been zapnotized by alien invaders! But you don't want to help save her, 'cause you don't feel like eating a few vegetables!
-->'''Football Kid''': (suddenly inspired) LET'S DO THIS FOR THE FOLKS!!!
* Deadpool in WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan did this in his intro to demonstrate his HealingFactor;

* In ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' ''Operation: I.T.'', a game of tag for leadership of the [=KND=] ends with ''[[BigBad Father]]'' being named Soopreme Leader. At a rally, the Kids are opposed to this, as only agents of the the [=KND=] can become Leader. Father sarcastically concedes the point, leaves the stage, then comes back with, "Wait a minute, I ''am'' a Kids Next Door member!" and proceeds to show proof [[ContinuityNod from a previous episode]] how that happened.
* Near the end of the ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' episode "M. Night Sham-Aliens!", Jerry mocks Rick for apparently being outwitted by a race of intelligent aliens, only for it to turn out that Rick pulled a [[EarthShatteringKaboom rather explosive]] BatmanGambit for them.
-->'''Jerry:''' What-what happened back there?!
-->'''Rick:''' Why don't you ask the smartest people in the universe, Jerry? Oh yeah, ''(belch)'' you can't. ''They blew up.''

-->'''Amy:''' Lassie is in the Louvre.

---> ''Breakfast Princess:'' Oh, Lumpy Space Princess, I'm afraid you'll have to be patient with us and our petty disputes. Not all of us have achieved the self-sufficiency that I assume you have in your kingdom. ''Oh wait'', that's right. You don't have a kingdom! You live in a box in the woods.

* Near the end of the ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' episode "M. Night Sham-Aliens!", Jerry mocks Rick for apparently being outwitted by a race of intellgient aliens, only for it to turn out that Rick had put together a [[EarthShatteringKaboom rather explosive]] BatmanGambit for them.

* In ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' ''Operation: I.T.'', a game of tag for leadership of the [=KND=] ends with ''[[BigBad Father]]'' being named Soopreme Leader. At a rally the Kids are opposed to this, as only agents of the the [=KND=] can become Leader.

Many of the examples below are not actually "Hypothetical -- oh wait -- that's true!" Alternate forms include "Reasonable plan -- oh wait -- we can't because of something obvious." Or, "Blatant lie -- oh wait -- truth." All three are sometimes used as a real-life [[SarcasmMode sarcasm tag]], often overlapping with DontExplainTheJoke.

* Weiss from ''WebAnimation/RWBY'' does this in the first episode of volume 3. Unfortunately, Ruby is SarcasmBlind.

* [[RedLetterMedia Mr. Plinkett]] does this in his review of ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', though seemingly unintentionally, while imagining the games Padme plays with her decoy:

** In "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)": "I guess there just isn't a market for a pop star who wasn't supermodel-hot or rail-thin making an album full of bitter breakup songs." (Rolling Stone cover dealing with Music/{{Adele}}, with"Rolling in the Deep" playing) "OH WAIT."
