3->''"Having characters repeat stuff we already read in the captions was a joke he got mileage out of for 45 years."''
4-->-- '''[[http://zvbxrpl.blogspot.com/2010/12/jon-dagostino.html Jaime J. Weinman]]''' on Frank Doyle of ''ComicBook/ArchieComics''
5
6A character repeats what was just said by the narrator, word-for-word (or very nearly) for [[RuleOfFunny comedic effect]].
7
8A stealth version can show up in a script by having the character repeat the stage directions word-for-word (e.g. "Character is sad and confused" '''Character:''' I'm sad and confused!).
9
10Can be combined with a SaidBookism for serious overkill: ''Tom was fuming. "I'm fuming!" he fumed.''
11
12Often a sign of a LemonyNarrator or InteractiveNarrator, especially if said narrator retorts "I just said that." In news broadcasts, this is a sign of a bad newswriter.

21* ''Manga/SgtFrog'':
22** In the dub of episode 15, when the others imagine Keroro and [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Dark Momoka]] teaming up to [[TakeOverTheWorld conquer the world]], the narrator warns, "But their dark union was not that simple." Cut to Dark Momoka informing the platoon, "Our dark union's not that simple."
23** Used again in episode 22:
24--->'''Narrator:''' ''[coming back from the {{eyecatch}}]'' Ten seconds ago on ''Manga/SgtFrog'', Tamama became leader of the platoon and banished the Sarge down a previously unseen well.\
25'''Keroro:''' Why has Tamama dropped me down this previously unseen well?
26** And in the first beach episode.
27--->'''Narrator:''' And so they splashed, while Momoka stewed in the juices of her own anger.\
28'''Momoka:''' Look at them... and here I am ''stewing in the juices of my own anger''...
29** This is obviously one of their favorite gags. In episode 3, the narrator talks about "the foulest of funks emanating from the Hinatas' basement". Natsumi complains by saying "Man, that is one foul funk."
30** They manage to invert it once.
31--->'''Mois:''' Well I blame that lazy narrator!\
32'''Narrator:''' Sorry, [[IResembleThatRemark I was napping]]. Did someone call me lazy?
33* In an early episode of ''Literature/BakaAndTestSummonTheBeasts'', we see a one of the animals kids put on their cell phone straps lying on the ground, and the narrator gives a quick explanation of what it is and who would have it. [[IdiotHero Yoshii]] picks it up and starts saying the same thing, at which point the narrator angrily points out he already said that.
34* {{Inverted}} in an early episode of ''Manga/DragonBall'':
35-->'''Yamcha:''' Those fools have not heard the last of Yamcha!\

53* After Anton Ego's meal at Gusteau's in the third act of ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'', Remy is narrating Ego's reactions. When he says that Ego got up from his chair and thanked the restaurant staff for the meal, Ego can literally be heard quietly saying, "Thank you for the meal."
54* Done in-universe in the introduction to ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}''.
55[[/folder]]
56
57[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
58* Reversed in ''Film/Plan9FromOuterSpace'', where one of the characters says of the aliens, "I wonder what their next move will be?" and the narrator says "What will their next move be?"
59* Something similar happens at the beginning of ''Film/MagicalMysteryTour'':
60-->'''Ringo on screen:''' Good afternoon.\
61'''Ringo, narrating:''' ... said Richard. "Good afternoon," said the bus driver.
62* ''Music/TheRutles: All You Need Is Cash'':
63-->'''Narrator:''' It was a bombshell for the Rutles. They were shocked... and stunned.\
64'''Dirk [=McQuickly=]:''' Well, we're shocked.\
65'''Ron Nasty:''' Yeah, shocked.\
66'''Barry Wom:''' Shocked.\
67'''Dirk [=McQuickly=]:''' And stunned.\
68'''Ron Nasty:''' Yeah, stunned.\
69'''Barry Wom:''' Very stunned.
70* Done several times in ''Film/ForrestGump'', due to Forrest's thoughts being so straightforward.
71-->'''Forrest:''' ''[narrating]'' When I got home, I had no idea, but Mama'd had all sorts of visitors.
72-->'''Mrs. Gump:''' We've had all sorts of visitors.
73* Done in ''Film/GeorgeOfTheJungle'':
74-->'''Narrator:''' And they responded with awe.\
75'''Cast:''' Awwwww...\

77'''Cast:''' Oooooh...\
78'''Narrator:''' That's better.
79** Also:
80--->'''Narrator:''' Ursula was amazed that she was lost in the wilderness with a jungle man.\

86-->'''Darryl:''' Dale dug a hole.
87* Used all throughout Creator/WesAnderson's adaptation of ''Film/TheWonderfulStoryOfHenrySugar'', in which various characters will narrate the story directly to the camera, during which they will sometimes say another character says something, and that character will be present onscreen and say that thing before the narrating character continues.

90[[folder:Literature]]
91* ''Literature/BoredOfTheRings'':
92** Done, then [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]], near the beginning of the book.
93--->They were among the most dubious-looking mushrooms Spam had ever seen, and, rather rudely, he said so.\
94"These are among the most dubious-lookin' mushrooms I'm ever a-seeing," he stated.
95** And a few chapters later, more redundantly:
96--->Frito toyed with the Ring and wondered at her great beauty. As he stood, as if in a trance, Lavalier turned to him and saw him toying with the Ring and wondering at her great beauty.\
97"I see, Frito," she said, "that as you toy with the Ring, you wonder at my great beauty."
98** And [[RuleOfThree a third example]]:
99--->Goodgulf fell silent, and a shadow seemed to pass over his face. "I would say more, but a shadow seems to have passed over my face."
100* ''Blessed are the Cheesemakers'':
101-->She knew that Corrie and Fee made cheese...but Lucy assumed the cheese was made with machines, in big vats, with milk from a factory. "I thought cheese was made with machines, in big vats, with milk from a factory," she said.
102* Creator/PGWodehouse:
103** In the short story "Rough Hew Them How We Will" in ''The Man Upstairs'', the narrator says, "Bredin [a ''restaurateur''] was a pig. He looked like a pig; he ate like a pig; he grunted like a pig. He had the lavish ''embonpoint'' of a pig. Also a porcine soul. If you had tied a bit of blue ribbon round his neck you could have won prizes with him at a show." Later, when a policeman enters the story: "It was at about five minutes after one that afternoon that Constable Thomas Parsons, patrolling his beat, was aware of a man motioning to him from the doorway of Bredin's Parisian Cafe and Restaurant. The man looked like a pig. He grunted like a pig. He had the lavish ''embonpoint'' of a pig. Constable Parsons suspected that he had a porcine soul. Indeed, the thought flitted across Constable Parsons' mind that, if he were to tie a bit of blue ribbon round his neck, he could win prizes with him at a show.
104** [[Literature/JeevesAndWooster Bertie Wooster]] has a tendency to do this to himself:
105--->My soul was darkened by a nameless fear.\
106"Jeeves," I said, "My soul is darkened by a nameless fear."\
107"Indeed, sir?"
108* Christopher Moore's ''Literature/ADirtyJob'' has a sort of delayed version: the first line of the chapter "A Fucked-Up Day" is the narrator saying "It was a fucked-up day." The first line of the following chapter is a character saying (of the day described in the previous chapter) "That was a fucked-up day."
109* The Prince from ''Literature/SleepingBeauty'' has this as his shtick in ''There's A Princess In The Palace''. {{Lampshaded}} by a pair of mice who have been commenting on each story.
110* ''The Scrambled States of America'':
111** Used a couple of times, narrated by Uncle Sam:
112--->'''Uncle Sam:''' ''[narrating]'' Well, it was just your basic, ordinary day in the good old U.S. of A. States all over the country were waking up, having their first cups of coffee, reading the morning paper, and enjoying the beautiful sunrise. All the states, that is, except for Kansas. He was not feeling happy at all. How do I know this? Because he said,\
113'''Kansas:''' I'M NOT FEELING HAPPY AT ALL!
114** Later, after the states have all switched places
115--->'''Uncle Sam:''' ''[narrating]'' And worst of all, Kansas, who had switched places with Hawaii because he was sick of being stuck in the middle of the country, was now stuck in the middle of NOWHERE, feeling lonesome and seasick.\
116'''Kansas:''' ''[singing]'' In the middle of nowhere, feeling lonesome and seasick, my guitar is soggy and I feel so blue...
117* ''Legacy'' by Cayla Kluver does this all the time.
118-->"I don't care much about that," Semari scoffed, not sharing my interest in the least.
119* In ''Literature/RallyRoundTheFlagBoys'', Oscar Hoffa suspects that Angela is divorcing him because she has found another guy, and hires a private detective who turns up this lead: "Subject left Putnam's Landing on the 10:07 train this morning. Subject registered at the Plaza Hotel at 11:54, checked into Room 921. Man came to Room 921 at 12:15 p.m. and was admitted by subject. Man is tall, in mid-thirties, wearing tan topcoat and gray flannel suit, looked nervous, no distinguishing marks." One page later, the narration leaves Oscar behind and takes up with Harry Bannerman, described thusly:
120-->A tall man in his mid-thirties, wearing a tan topcoat and a gray flannel suit, looking nervous, and bearing no distinguishing marks, raised his knuckles to rap on the door of Room 921 of the Plaza Hotel, and then changed his mind and stuck his hand in his pocket.
121* Done for no comedic effect multiple times in ''A Series of Unfortunate Events''.
122* The beginning of Paul Goodman's poem "The Lordly Hudson":
123-->"Driver, what stream is it?" I asked, well knowing\
124it was our lordly Hudson hardly flowing.\
125"It is our lordly Hudson hardly flowing,"\
126he said...
127* {{Downplayed|Trope}} in ''Literature/TheLongDarkTeaTimeOfTheSoul'':
128-->A haze of light greeted Hillow ... but nothing about this struck him as odd. A haze of light was simply what he expected to see whenever he opened this door. The first time ever he had opened it he had simply thought to himself, "Oh. A haze of light. Oh well..."
129* At one point in ''Literature/TrueGrit'':
130-->It was a cashier's check for $2,750 drawn on the Grangers Trust Co. of Topeka, Kansas, to a man named Marshall Purvis. I said, "This is a cashier's check for $2,750 drawn on the Grangers Trust Co. of Topeka, Kansas, to a man named Marshall Purvis."
131[[/folder]]
132
133[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
134* ''Series/TheMiddleman'' has a tendency to invert this with its {{Scene Shift Caption}}s. For example, one scene ends with Ida smugly announcing the address she's discovered they have to go to:
135-->'''Ida:''' 8660 Hawkins Lane, Apt 9. God am I underpaid.
136::: And the caption for the next scene is[=:=]
137-->8660 Hawkins Lane, Apt 9.
138-->God am I underpaid.
139* ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus''. A milkman psychiatrist performs an odd psychological test on a [[strike:doctor]] gynecologist.
140-->'''Milkman:''' Right...well I should definitely say you're suffering from a severe personality disorder, sir, sublimating itself in a lactic obsession which could get worse depending on how much money you've got.\
141[Cut to the office of a real psychiatrist]\
142'''Dr. Cream:''' I would like to take this opportunity of complaining about the way in which these shows are continually portraying psychiatrists who make pat diagnoses of patients' problems without first obtaining their full medical history.\
143[Cut back to milkman and gynecologist]\
144'''Milkman:''' Mind you, that's just a pat diagnosis made without first obtaining your full medical history.
145* In the ''Series/That70sShow'' episode "I Can't Quit You Baby", when Hyde tells the (false) story of how he got together with Jackie:
146-->'''Hyde:''' So, I'm hangin' out in the basement like I usually do, when Jackie showed up. It was obvious she wanted me.\
147(''fantasy clip, Hyde is in the basement, Jackie walks in'')\
148'''Jackie:''' I want you.\
149'''Hyde:''' It's obvious.
150* One example in ''Series/PennAndTellerBullshit,'' while discussing Gandhi:
151-->'''Penn:''' (''narrating'') Wait a minute! He's sleeping naked with the girls? And the girls are naked too?\
152'''Biographer:''' He's sleeping naked with the girls and the girls are naked too!\
153'''Penn:''' (''narrating'') Cool!
154* Inverted in ''Series/HarryAndPaul'', in a ''Series/DragonsDen'' parody.
155-->'''Ken:''' I've left it in the car.\
156'''[[CaptainObvious Narrator:]]''' Ken has left the solution to all the world's problems in the car.
157* ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' frequently uses a variation on this in which the characters and the narrator will say the same thing at the exact same time.
158* From one of [[Series/TheTwoRonnies Ronnie Corbett's]] chair monologues:
159--> The man was astonished.
160--> "I'm astonished!", he said.
161--> There, you see? I ''told'' you he was astonished!
162* Very commonly used in ''Series/GarthMarenghisDarkplace'':
163-->'''Dr. Rick Dagless M.D.:''' ''[narrating]'' Reed told me everything. How the monkeys now ruled Darkplace. How they'd taken over.
164-->'''Thornton Reed:''' ''[flatly]'' They've taken over.
165-->'''Dr. Rick Dagless M.D.:''' Oh no. Oh Jesus. They've taken over. They've taken over!
166-->'''Thornton Reed:''' I know!
167* Referenced in Series/DropTheDeadDonkey :
168-->'''Henry:''' I'm obviously dim, but why are we bothering to interview Tom when he will simply repeat what I have said?
169-->'''Gus:''' Yes, but he'll be repeating it live from the scene.
170-->'''Henry:''' Why?
171-->'''Gus:''' Because TV's a visual medium, for God's sake! If nothing's happening, you have to show it's not happening, live, as it doesn't happen. Do you know nothing about this business, man?
172-->'''Henry:''' [furious] I know a great deal more than you, you [[ClusterBleepBomb (bleep)ing, sh(bleep)ing, pi(bleep)ing...]]
173[[/folder]]
174
175[[folder:Radio]]
176* Often used in the Storyteller skits on ''Radio/JohnFinnemoresSouvenirProgramme'', for example:
177-->'''Storyteller:''' We were interrupted mid-training swim by a woman from the RSPCA.\
178'''Woman from the RSPCA:''' Excuse me, I am a woman from the RSPCA.\
179'''Storyteller:''' ...she said, which is how I knew.
180[[/folder]]
181
182[[folder:Theatre]]
183* At the start of Act Two of ''Theatre/{{Spamalot}}'', the Historian recaps the end of Act One, ending with, "King Arthur and his knights fled for their lives and were instantly scattered and lost in a dark, and [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall very expensive]], forest." Soon after, King Arthur moans, "This is a total bloody disaster. All my knights have fled, and we're lost in a dark, and very expensive, forest."
184* Michael Frayn's ''Afterlife'' inverts the variety with stage directions.
185-->'''Reinhardt:''' [...] And here, on the cathedral square in Salzburg, we shall [act out parts in a play] as simply and naturally as children do in their games. No sound effects. Only the cathedral bells. Only the distant sound of traffic in the streets.
186
187-->''Sound effects''
188* ''Theatre/TheMusicalOfMusicalsTheMusical'':
189-->'''Spoken Stage Direction:''' Jidder trips and falls on his own knife.\
190'''June:''' Oh, Jidder tripped and fell on his own knife. He's dead.
191[[/folder]]
192
193[[folder:Video Games]]
194* ''VideoGame/Portal2'', to the point of overlapping with DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment:
195-->'''[=GLaDOS=]:''' Well, this is the part where [[spoiler:he kills us]].\

197On-screen Caption: ''Chapter 9: The Part Where [[spoiler:He Kills You]]''.\

203* ''{{Webcomic/Homestuck}}'': When Aradia's true nature is revealed, the narrator declares that "We are all completely blown away by this stunning revelation. Wow. [[spoiler:Dead.]] Really?

204%%* Used in a ''Webcomic/{{Femmegasm}}'' strip parodying ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'' and ''Anime/DragonBallZ''.
205* This happens with Moustachio's [[http://skin-horse.com/comic/2015-05-06/ recollections]] of his creator in ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'':
206-->'''Moustachio:''' He was the greatest mechanical genius of the age, if not all time.\
207'''Madblood, Count Ximes:''' Again I've proven myself the greatest genius of the age, if not all time! BEHOLD!
208[[/folder]]
209
210[[folder:Web Original]]
211* ''Roleplay/RainQuest'' features an exchange like this:
212-->'''Player command:''' > If all else fails, go back to the mayor and ask for the key.\
213'''Lightning bolt:''' Oh, and don't even think of going back to the mayor and asking for the key! I took it from the Town Hall while the mayor was distracted!
214* PlayedWith in ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' (and setting the stage for a frequent RunningGag). Church describes to Tucker and Caboose how Tex massacred his platoon but left him alive, the flashback is full of this.
215-->'''Church:''' Private Mickey was the first to go. He was halfway across he base, when all of a sudden, he just started screaming bloody murder.\
216'''Private Mickey:''' [[NotHyperbole Bloody murder! Bloody murder!]]
217** It culminates in him explaining that Tex pulled Private Jimmy's skull right out of his head and beat him to death it.
218--->'''Tucker:''' Wait a second! How can you beat somebody to death with their own skull? That doesn't seem physically possible.\
219'''Church:''' That's exactly what Jimmy kept screaming.\
220''(SmashCut)''\
221'''Private Jimmy:''' (as Tex beats him to death with his own skull) [[LampshadeHanging This doesn't seem physically possible!]] ''(dies)''

225[[/folder]]
226
227[[folder:Western Animation]]
228* The ''WesternAnimation/WordGirl'' episode "Mecha-Mouse" is narrated by the usual InteractiveNarrator and his DarkerAndGrittier twin brother. At one point, they muse, "Will [=WordGirl=] be able to stop Dr. Two-Brain's plan to buy his own private island?" "Or will Two-Brains Island become the center of evil and villainy for all eternity?" Later on, as Dr. Two-Brains goes to buy his island, he cackles to himself, "Two-Brains Island will become the center of evil and villainy for all eternity! [[LampshadeHanging The narrator told me so]]."
