* ''Fanfic/WinterBells'': When Fluttershy and Twilight are both trying to get Discord to say [[spoiler:Friendship is Magic]] in "A Couch and Chaos":

** Subverted in the ColdOpen of "Olympia's Day", where Olympia and Otis say their "What seems to be the problem?" {{Catchphrase}} in unison, then have trouble deciding who should say the phrase before Olympia says it again on her own.

** On the miniseries ''WebAnimation/TeenGirlSquad'', this happens as the titular characters habitually say, [[CatchPhrase "SO GOOD!"]]

* In ''Fanfic/SplitSecondMyLittlePony,'' there are two timelines that can interact with one another. When the timelines merge together, both versions of a pony will speak in unison until otherwise halted, and even then may start speaking in unison again at a later time without being prompted. There's nothing magical about it; it's just two ponies so close in thought processes that they happen to react exactly the same way at the same time to the same situations.

* ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' has a a few games involving this. These are rarely played because of the extreme difficulty of unison in improv.

* [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] in ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' in the episode "Wizard" with Boofo, a wizard who are/is nine tadpoles residing in the necksac of a toad. The trope is played straight through the remainder of the episode but for Boofo's introduction...
-->''[Leonard, one of Boofo's number, is one second delayed from the group]''\\
'''Boofo:''' So, you wish to be inducted into the ancient order of... \\

** This is played straight moments later when the aforementioned guards catch up with them:

* Happens in ''Franchise/GreenLantern'' comics frequently, when several members of the Green Lantern Corps get together to recite their oath. For example, this scene from the end of ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternFirstFlight'', when Hal Jordan [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MYvM-gGDBw leads the GL Corps]] in reciting their oath. "In brightest day, in blackest night..."

** In "The Love Spell Potential", there's this opening scene, as Penny, Amy and Bernadette all head off in a taxi for Las Vegas, while the guys all stay behind to play TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons:

* A recurring bit on Series/TheDailyShow, where they point out the effect of mandated reporting being distributed to local news companies. They either do a montage of half a dozen news anchors reading the same lines or, on occassion, a tiled view of dozens reading in synch. The effect is remarkably creepy.

** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS38E5FugitiveOfTheJudoon Fugitive of the Judoon]]": After [[spoiler:Ruth Clayton reveals herself as a version of the Doctor, she and Thirteen do this when Thirteen reveals she is also the Doctor, and both of them react in disbelief. They take this as evidence that they must be the same person, despite neither of them ever remembering being the other.]]

* ''Franchise/StarTrek''

* In one episode of ''Series/{{Blossom}}'', appropriately titled "You Did What?", when their father, Nick, tells them he sold his piano to assuage financial difficulties, Blossom, Joey and Tony all ask him the titular question in this way in a shocked manner, since they know the piano is a part of his life.
* ''Series/WandaVision'':
** In episode 2, unison chants of "For the children" happen regularly during the talent show.
** In episode 5, a SWORD communique is intercepted at Vision's workplace. All of his coworkers read it in unison.
-->'''Workers:''' "SWORD. Top Secret Communique. Authenticate. Dr. Darcy Lewis' findings regarding Maximoff's Anomaly. High levels of radiation present at perimeter. Effect on Westview residents unknown. Please advise." ''[break out laughing]''
-->'''Norm:''' Well come on, pal! What are we going to write back? You're the office funny-guy!

* {{Played for laughs}} in the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' episode "Night of the Huntress", when [[ComicBook/{{Huntress}} Helena Bertinelli]] and [[ComicBook/BlueBeetle Jaime Reyes]] see a news story about a prison break and simultaneously say "I have to go to the bathroom" as an excuse to [[SecretIdentityChangeTrick break away and get into costume]].

* This was used on occasion in some ''Franchise/{{Peanuts}}'' specials. One of the most iconic is the iconic ending to ''WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownChristmas''...

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': [[AnAesop The Aesop]] of one episode is, "Do not believe everything that you see on TV". Realizing that they ''are'' in a TV show, [[HypocriticalHumor the characters quickly switch to chanting the opposite]] in a {{brainwashed}} voice.

* While ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales|2017}}'' (2017) usually averts this, giving the triplets individual personalities, they do indulge in this in "The Beagle Birthday Massacre!":
-->'''Lena:''' That's cute, with the names and the color-coded outfits... is that your thing, you're all exactly the same? \\
'''Huey, Dewey, & Louie:''' Ha, no way! We're all unique snowflakes... Well, this usually never happens! This is really weird! Okay, stop talking! ''[beat]'' Antidisestablishmentarianism! Seriously?! GAH!

'''Other cast members:''' ''[all together]'' It's an entirely different kind of flying.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8u8YK1oT3w In one commercial for Empire Today, circa 1987-'88,]] a man and woman (presumably a husband and wife) reading the newspaper are informed about Empire offering free credit for six months. In response, the man and woman speak, in monotonic unison, about how they can't afford new carpeting. They are further told about the free six-month credit includes no installment payment for 90 days. The man and woman, still speaking in monotonic unison, start to think maybe they ''can'' afford new carpeting. What seals the deal is that they also are told about prices starting at $7.95.

** Used as a WhamLine in ''VideoGame/BlazBlueCalamityTrigger'' at the end of ShrinkingViolet and CuteClumsyGirl Noel Vermilion's arcade mode when she is confronted by OmnicidalManiac RobotGirl Nu-12.

* ''VideoGame/{{Mortal Kombat|9}}'': The elder gods speak in unison when they tell Raiden they are unable to intervene against Shao Kahn's invasion of Earthrealm in this installment's Story Mode.

* In ''VisualNovel/HighwayBlossoms'', a RunningGag has Amber and Mariah, two people who can't stand each other, repeatedly saying the same thing at the same time.
* Late in ''VisualNovel/HeartOfTheWoods'', after [[spoiler:Madison comes back to life and meets up with Tara for the first time since her death]], the moment Tara and Madison are alone, they both blurt out, "I'M SORRY!" together, finally ending a long feud caused by Madison deciding to quit ''Taranormal''.

* Isaac and Miria occasionally do this in ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'', though a lot of the time it involves Isaac saying something then Miria repeating it for emphasis.
* The Sisters in ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'' employ a variant. Only one of them speaks at a time, but each sentence is spoken by a new one. In ''Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun'', they switch off seamlessly mid-sentence.

--> “I get it,” James and Sarah said at the exact same moment.

** "Funeral" involves three performers singing an elegy in unison.

* The CG film ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'' had the dodos chanting "doom on you."
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles,'' Bob and Helen both say "I love you" to each other at the same time while taking out Syndrome's mooks.

* When the Game Grumps played the VideoGameAdaptation of ''Series/AreYouSmarterThanAFifthGrader'', one instance of host Jeff Foxworthy chiming in with "I knew that too!" after Danny answered a question right lead to this:

* ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' has a whole game involving this, aptly titled All In One Voice.

** Also, in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E13FallWeatherFriends Fall Weather Friends]]", Applejack and Rainbow Dash[[note]]who, incidentally, are [[TalkingToHimself both voiced by]] [[Creator/AshleighBall the same actress]][[/note]] become so extremely competitive with each other that they both end up tied...

* This happens in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'', known as "The Camping Episode", when [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick warn Squidward against attracting a sea-bear, describing all the things that attract sea-bears, including certain articles of clothing.
