| 11 | Interrupti--\ |
| 12 | A particular form of MemeticMutation, generally taking the form of an article, video or similar, in which the subject at hand [[Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir gets flipped, turned upside-down, so I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there, I'll tell you how—]] |
| 13 | |
| 14 | [[Main/SelfDemonstratingArticle ...er, sorry.]] The subject at hand is overtaken by the meme, to the surprise and chagrin of the viewer. Sometimes these memes go as far as interrupting ''other'' memes. (One assumes that should any of these memes face off against each other, [[RealityBreakingParadox the universe would end]].) |
| 15 | |
| 16 | See also BaitAndSwitch. The original topic may be left with NoEnding. If the original topic was boring anyway, the interruption may serve as a DropTheCow moment. A bit related to JumpScare, except the "jump" in this case is meant for humor, not horror. |

| 22 | * MORNING RESCUE! (Especially combined with ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''. And ''especially'' in the role of BigDamnHeroes.) |
| 23 | * The first Energizer Bunny ad campaign had the drumming toy rabbit, who was still going, march his way through other (fake) commer--"Still going! Nothing outlasts the Energizer. They keep going, and going...". |
| 24 | * Kool-Aid Man does this to the point of MemeticMutation. "OH YEEAAHH! Here comes Kool-Aid, here comes Kool-Aid"... |
| 25 | * Old Spice similarly [[CommercialSwitcheroo interrupts other (fake) commercials]], claiming that it's too powerful to let an ad-break end. (It's probably supposed to run in conjunction with another Old Spice ad, but sometimes it's played in isolation.) |
| 26 | --> [[NoIndoorVoice OLD SPICE IS SO POWERFUL, IT SHOWS UP IN OTHER PEOPLE'S COMMERCIALS!]] |
| 27 | |
| 28 | --> '''''[[ThereWasADoor RAAAAAAAAAGH!]]''''' '''[[NoIndoorVoice OLD SPICE BODYWASH IS TOO POWERFUL TO LET THIS EXAMPLE END!]]''' |
| 29 | * Thanks to Chilean national television using creative editing to get around ad breaks while playing the original ''Franchise/StarWars'' trilogy, nowadays characters all over media will often reach into places they originally weren't to suddenly offer each other [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSgMWAi9YPA CERVEZA CRISTAL!]] |

| 40 | * There's also ''Manga/RozenMaiden'' which- DESU! DESU! DESU! DESU! |
| 41 | * It's become a thing for fans of ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'' to edit clips from other media so that suspenseful moments are interrupted by Music/{{Yes}}' "Roundabout", in homage to that song being used as the closing theme for the anime adaptation of ''Phantom Blood'' and ''Battle Tendency'' (and always including a sepia tone and a "To Be Continued" message). [[note]]''You thought it was going to be another meme, but it was me, Dio!''[[/note]] |
| 42 | ** 'ZA WARUDO' is also popularly used like this, since it's essentially a [[TimeStandsStill time-out]]. |
| 43 | ** Not to be outdone, Kira's theme has officially succeeded Roundabout for use at the end of things, especially for FauxHorrific situations. |

| 79 | * Bob and Terry (the owls) tell the "interrupting cow" joke (see below) in the ''Literature/WhereTheWildThingsAre'' movie. Much of the scene's humor comes from both of them being IntelligibleUnintelligible. |
| 80 | * ''Film/LesMiserables2012'' brings us a meme courtesy of-"AND I'M JAVERT! DO NOT FORGET MY NAME!" |
| 81 | [[/folder]] |
| 82 | |
| 83 | [[folder:Jokes]] |
| 84 | * This is used in the Interrupting Cow joke, as follows: |
| 85 | -->Knock knock. |
| 86 | -->Who's there? |
| 87 | -->Interrupting cow. |
| 88 | -->Interr- |
| 89 | -->''MOO!'' |
| 90 | ** With a variation involving the "interrupting coefficient of friction" - MU! (The [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction#Coefficient_of_friction coefficient of friction]] [[DontExplainTheJoke is represented by the greek letter "Mu"]]) |
| 91 | ** Or interrupting koal- *glomp* |
| 92 | ** ''Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction'' has a deleted scene with a variation of this joke called "Impatient Cow". |
| 93 | ** One entertaining variation that sadly only works once is the interrupting starfis- *[[FacePalm hand in face]]*. Or for an even crueler variant, "Interrupting [[VideoGame/FZero Falcon-]] '''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros PUNCH!]]''' |
| 94 | ** As the "interrupting sheeep" joke, it's used as TheStinger in one episode of ''Series/TheVicarOfDibley'', As ever, Alice is ComicallyMissingThePoint, and complains that the vicar didn't let her finish her bit. When Geraldine explains, Alice says that in ''that'' case, she knows ''lots'' of funny jokes like that, before trying the "interrupting rabbit" joke and realising that doesn't work. |
| 95 | * Made popular by ''Series/TheOfficeUS'': |
| 96 | --> Knock knock. |
| 97 | --> Who's there? |
| 98 | --> [[UsefulNotes/SovietRussiaUkraineAndSoOn KGB]] |
| 99 | --> KGB w- |
| 100 | --> *slap* WE WILL ASK THE QUESTIONS! |

| 104 | -->"TIMING!" |
| 105 | [[/folder]] |
| 106 | |
| 107 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 108 | * As demonstrated above, a video or story getting "Bel-Air'd" (the topic at hand getting interrupted by the ExpositoryThemetune of Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir) is a common form of this. Frequently takes the form of a story segueing into how the writer got into one little fight and his mom got scared, and so on and so forth. Eventually, this became so prevalent that [[SelfDemonstratingArticle my mom got scared, and said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air".]] |
| 109 | ** Inverted by ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' [[http://www.xkcd.com/464/ here.]] |
| 110 | * Creator/MontyPython: Sometimes, when you least expect - [=NOOOOOOOOOOObody=] expects the Spanish Inquisition! |
| 111 | ** Alternately, squished by a giant cartoon foot. |
| 112 | ** A knight in full armour who hits the person who is talking with a dead chicken, thus ending the sketch. |
| 113 | ** Of course, [[GainaxEnding the colonel]], who interrupts the sketch and ends it because it is too silly. |
| 114 | ** And now, for something completely different... |
| 115 | * The start of the opening ThemeTuneRap of ''Series/CrashAndBernstein'' (Specifically the part where Crash breaks out of the TV) has taken off on youtube in 2023 due to- '''[[UnsoundEffect *Glass shatters*]], YO! [[Music/KanyeWest Imma let you finish but]], ding dong!''' |
| 116 | * ''Series/GameOfThrones'' is one of the most pirated shows these days, but one version of the "Walk of Punishment" episode cuts the sound out early in favor of the end credits, drowning out A BEAR THERE WAS, A BEAR, A BEAR! |
| 117 | * On ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'', when he gets really annoyed with somebody (usually either El Chavo or La Chilindrina), Don Ramón (or sometimes another character) will sometimes (¡Fuera de aqui![[note]]Or in some cases, "Largo de aqui"; both roughly translate as, "(Get) out of here!"[[/note]]) but...(¡Fuera de aqui!) but I...(¡Fuera!) but...(¡Fuera!) but...(¡Fuera!)... |
| 118 | * This also occurs in ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', but is especially prevalent in the [[Pinball/StarTrekTheNextGeneration pin-]][[Creator/PatrickStewart "Thank you, Mr. Data"]]. |
| 119 | * On ''The New Howdy Doody Show'' from the mid-late 1970s, this happened OnceAnEpisode. After the opening theme song, Buffalo Bob would talk about what today's show is abou-- |
| 120 | -->'''Howdy Doody''':"Oh, Buff'lo Bob, Buff'lo Bob!" |
| 121 | -->'''Buffalo Bob''': "Oh hey, it's Howdy Doody!" |

| 126 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 127 | * A JustForFun/{{Rickroll}} can occasionally take this form. This includes a certain UsefulNotes/MacysThanksgivingDayParade appearance. |
| 128 | * The Music/KanyeWest "Imma let you finish" meme is sometimes used in this-'''Yo Troper! I'm real happy for ya, and imma let you finish, but this is one of the greatest pages of all time! ONE OF THE GREATEST PAGES OF ALL TIME!!!!'''-fashion. |
| 129 | * ''Music/WasNotWas'': Sometimes, people will start to write a post, but then their parents will '''open the door, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur.''' |
| 130 | * The Monster Mash is occasionally used as an alternative to the Bel-Air theme song. |
| 131 | * Music/MCHammer: '''STOP! HAMMER TIME!''' |
| 132 | * Music/VanillaIce: '''STOP! Collaborate and listen!''' |
| 133 | * Music/{{Sabaton}}: '''THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!''' |

| 147 | ** Well, I- |
| 148 | *** '''It doesn't MATTER what you think!!''' |
| 149 | * After his debut in Wrestling/{{WWE}}, Wrestling/MuhammadHassan would often interrupt other wrestlers promos and whatnot, with his distinctive theme music. This spread to Website/{{YTMND}}, and became what is now referred to as "Hassaning," where his music would oft'''''[[http://wiki.ytmnd.com/Muhammad_Hassan AN ALIEN, ALIEN, ALIEN, ALAYLEE....]]''''' |
| 150 | * Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin, also known as Stone '''WHAT''' Cold '''WHAT''' [[BigWhat Steve]] '''[[BigWhat WHAT]]''' [[BigWhat Austin]] '''[[BigWhat WHAT?]]''' Usually done by his fans when a rival talks trash about him. Hilariously transformed into a massive TakeThat by Wrestling/TheUndertaker in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyKPySrEdK0 this instance]]. |
| 151 | ** This eventually became a problem as audiences began interrupting ''any'' heel promo, drowning out the dialogue for home viewers. On the plus column, it started teaching wrestlers not to rely on the overdone "portentous statement followed by dramatic pause" style of promo delivery. |
| 152 | * Number Four: "Wrestling/ChrisJericho's '''ARMBAR!'''" |
| 153 | * X has just completed/defeated (insert REALLY difficult feat/opponent here) and is tired, exhausted, and badly beaten, savoring his hard-fought victory. ''[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic You think you know me...]]'' * guitar riff* '''[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic ON THIS DAY! I SEE CLEARLY! EVERYTHING HAS COME TO LIFE!]]''' |
| 154 | -->'''Edge:''' [Running down the ramp with the Money In The Bank briefcase] I'M CASHING IT IN! I'M CASHING IT IN! RING THE DAMN BELL! |
| 155 | * [[Wrestling/TheWyattFamily The Wyatt Family's]] entrance starts with a JumpScare that blacks out the arena and bombards the TV viewer's screen with a quick jumble of disturbing images before they enter, usually finishing off with a '''''DEA-''''' |
| 156 | * Actually, this happens fairly often. A guy's in the ring cutting a promo, only to be cut off by another wrestler's entrance music. (Especially effective if the wrestler's entrance music starts with an attention getting soundbyte, catchphrase, or EpicRiff.) The interrupted wrestler's reaction to this, depending on the context, can range from obvious annoyance to full-blown OhCrap. The resounding '''BONG''' and consequent darkness that preludes the entrance of Wrestling/TheUndertaker being a prime example. This becomes hilarious in situations where a segment features multiple wrestlers (a build for a multi-man [[GimmickMatches Elimination Chamber or Money In The Bank ladder match]]) where no one can finish a promo for all the entrance themes cutting them off mid-sentence. |
| 157 | * This trope is the reason no ring announcer could ever finish introducing [[Wrestling/AllenCoage Bad News Br...]]--WHOA!! [starts the match before troper can finish][[note]]This didn't always happen, though.[[/note]] |
| 158 | * There is one wrestler who's become famous for popping up just about anywhere... '''AND HIS NAME IS [[Wrestling/JohnCena JOHN CENA!]]''' |

| 166 | [[folder:Sports]] |
| 167 | * UsefulNotes/FormulaOne has produced quite a handful of these: |
| 168 | ** One of the earliest, though saw less usage in recent times, was the '''"IS THAT GLOCK?!"''' line, in reference to the final moments of the 2008 Brazilian GP. |
| 169 | ** Another was during the 2018 Belgian GP, where Creator/LewisHamilton was leading the first lap of the race at the Kemmel Straight, '''''BUT HERE COMES SEBASTIAN VETTEL!''''' |
| 170 | ** The latest was in the 2021 Monaco GP where, instead of the cameras on an exciting duel between Sebastian Vettel and Pierre Gasly, the feed cuts to Lance Stroll running wide, followed by David Croft disbelievingly crying, '''"What has happened?! We need to know!"''' This immediately sparked a trend of inserting Stroll replays into various other footages. |
| 171 | * During the pandemic-shortened 2020 [[UsefulNotes/MajorLeagueBaseball MLB season]], Thom Brennaman, then announcer for the Cincinnati Reds, was caught [[IsThisThingStillOn using a homophobic slur on an open mic]]. He later proceeded to apologize, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4-0 ballgame. |
| 172 | * In 2022, Aaron Judge was chasing Roger Maris' single-season mark of 61 home runs.[[note]]The MLB record is 73 by Barry Bonds in 2001, but his alleged steroid use has made this record ''very'' controversial. Every other player who had surpassed Maris' mark also faced steroid allegations. Maris still held the American League record.[[/note]] As he got close, ESPN cut into whatever they were showing when he was at bat, to the dismay of people interested in the scheduled program. This created a meme of Judge cutaways disrupting exciting moments.[[labelnote:Postscript]]Judge indeed passed Maris, ending the season with 62.[[/labelnote]] |

| 175 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 176 | * I was going on Website/TVTropes, thinking about how to add to the ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' article, when suddenly I heard a rumbling sound. I looked around a bit, and concluded it must be coming from underneath the table my monitor was sitting on. I stood up and looked underneath the table, when, out of nowhere, a frakking [[TankGoodness Baneblade]] came out from under my computer, smashed it and the table, then shot up my modem and entire Chaos Space Marine army. How the hell did a 300 ton tank sneak underneath my computer? It would have to take some kind of tactical genius t- CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDD! |

It is alleged that Games Workshop employ assassins to make their removal from canon stick, and merely bringing up their name [[KilledMidSentence ca]] ... though this meme fell into irrelevance since the Squats were brought back into {{Canon}} with the 6th edition rule book released in 2012. |

| 185 | * This is pretty much a regular thing for any arcade game, since the AttractMode is a regular feature that will be interrupted when anyone inserts a...[[VideoGame/PacMan KA WA!]] |
| 186 | ** Not all arcade games have separate "wating-for-start" screens. Most games by Atari (and Atari Games) will continue their attract modes while telling the player to "press start". Their later games will even sound a chime, but the attract mode will continue to play until the game starts. |

| 188 | ** On some ''Mass Effect 2'' message boards, Garrus' combat shouts "HEADSHOT!" and "Impressive!", due to his enthusiastic voice acting during combat, have also become memes, though obviously not to the extend of [[AC: [[IncomingHam We are assuming control ]]]]. |

| 272 | * Towards the end of the main campaign of ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'', there is an optional mission in which the terminally ill protagonist Arthur goes to help a tribal chief named Rains Fall. While they're riding together, Arthur opens to him about something he only brings up twice in the rest of the entire game, his dead son. While Arthur is pouring his heart out to him, he stops him mid-sentence and runs off to pick some ginseng to help Arthur with his cough and Arthur doesn't get to finish the story, |

| 339 | ** This is most certainly a remnant of the era of [=FidoNet=] and similar messaging networks, connected via [=BBSes=] before the advent of the Internet. Users usually connected to a BBS via a phone line (one phone line, one user) and they could usually write messages on forums directly on their terminal emulation software instead of using an off-line, separate program. When they were typing the message and the line got suddenly noisy, the software interpreted the line noise as random characters. The "NO CARRIER" was the standard modem response after an interrupted connection; whether the text ended being part of the message or not depended on the software, but it always appeared in the console of the interrupted user; hence the meme. |

| 350 | ** Anyone who has programmed with C(++) or other low-level programming languages and had to deal with pointers knSegmentation fault (core dumped).[[note]]Or other messages depending on your OS/platform.[[/note]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]In programming, a pointer is an address to a location in the computer's memory, with which you can read/change the data at that location. Since you shouldn't be able to read data from another program running in your computer, each process has its own share of memory, and can ask the OS for a chunk more ("allocate" it) and then give it back ("free" or "delete" it) as needed. A segmentation fault ("segfault") is the OS killing a process that tries to read/change memory that doesn't belong to itself, either because the program overstepped the bounds of a chunk of memory, or because it deleted memory it was still using.[[/labelnote]] |
| 351 | * Any and all TV broadcasts have been subject to this whenever a major or otherwise serious news event--"We interrupt our regularly scheduled trope entry to bring you this special report"..."This concludes our special report. We now resume our regularly scheduled trope entry."--occurs. |
