It's nice to see this trope being the first one, since it's one of the first I would think of too. But was it always named Gilligan Cut?

What happened to the "Troper's historical notice"? Was it removed by consensus, admins, or just one troper?

This was history in the making right here.

(sheds a solitary tear)

This trope is just weird...and kinda stupid. (cut) This is the greatest, funniest trope in the history of the world and totally not because it was the first one.

This needs to be written as an example. Examples should be standalone and we gain nothing by citing one show referring to another rather than just providing the details directly.

• F Troop. See Freakazoid under Western Animation.

I would suggest that a character doing something that is not what someone else suggested (Like Riggs telling the whole police force about Murtaugh on ther toilet, or Marty getting a crazy outfit after Doc tells him to get something inconspicuous) is really different from the true Gilligan cut like from Twister where a character repeated swears that they will not do something and then the next cut is them doing it. After al, it isn't like Riggs repeatedly promised to keep it quiet, or Marty said he would get something inconspicuous. It was just one character not listening to another

Similar, yes, but there is a distinction that should be made with a separate category
