* Occurs many times on ''Series/{{Jessie}}'':
** First seen in "Glue: Hoodunnit" when Mrs. Chesterfield's hair gel is switched with glue getting her hands stuck to her head and believes the Ross kids committed the prank.
--->'''Jessie:''' Look, Mrs. Chesterfield. I trust my kids. If they say they didn't do it, then they didn't do it.\\
''[cut to the penthouse where Jessie is seen interrogating the kids about the prank]''\\
'''Jessie:''' Okay, which one of you did it?
** Happens again in "Caught Purple Handed", the kids throw a {{Wild Teen Party}} on the roof courtesy of Zuri sending a fake email that a famous celebrity attending and need to make an excuse for the celeb not appearing.
--->'''Zuri:''' Wait! I have an idea!\\
'''Luke:''' Whatever it is, leave me out of it! ''[cut to Luke wearing a mop on his head to impersonate the celebrity]'' And I'm in it.
** Also in "Quitting Cold Koala" when Jessie tries to help Luke get over his obsession with his stuffed animal, Kenny the Koala, by confiscating it for three days. Luke has a nightmare about missing his beloved stuffed animal, but then tries to calm himself down.
--->'''Luke:''' It's okay. I can do this. I can do this ''[cut to Luke banging on Jessie's bedroom to get Kenny back]'' I can't do this!!!! I can't do this!!!!

* ''Series/KrodMandoonAndTheFlamingSwordOfFire'' has an episode where Matt Lucas's character says to his girlfriend (who has just contracted a serious illness) that he is not going to let her die. The next scene has him crying over her grave.

* Days after UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump's first address to Congress, ''Series/LateNight with Seth Meyers'' had [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzXrvTNOOqc a case of this]]:
-->'''Seth Meyers:''' Obviously, Donald Trump got off to a rough start as president, but he finally had what many pundits considered a good day on Tuesday with his first address to Congress. The speech got glowing reviews from the media and Trump was finally able to reset the narrative of his presidency. And you know what? I have been hard on him, but I think it's only fair that we take a minute to celebrate. In fact, I got some balloons right here and I'm going to start blowing them up to celebrate the fact that Trump finally has everything under control.\\
''[As he starts blowing up the balloon, the camera cuts to news clips about reports that attorney general Jeff Sessions had met with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. but failed to disclose that in his confirmation hearings. When the camera cuts back to Seth, he's dejectedly letting all the air escape from the balloon]''\\
'''Seth Meyers:''' And we had [bleep] fireworks, too!
* ''Series/LawAndOrderUK'': DS Ronnie Brooks is musing over the possible location of evidence in an assault case. His gaze turns towards a Dumpster. Following his gaze and realizing what he's thinking, his partner DS Matt Devlin yelps, "NO! ''No way'', Ron!" Sure enough, the next scene is of the two of them at the garbage dump, sifting through the trash, with Matt griping and complaining the entire time while Ronnie gleefully teases him.
** In another episode, the detectives want to review evidence from an old case and realize that they need to discuss things with the CPS. Their superior mentions that CP Alesha Phillips was the prosecutor on the case, at which point, she and Brooks give Devlin a look, to which he gives a very startled DoubleTake. The next scene is of Devlin trying to sweet-talk Alesha into giving them the necessary files. (To be fair, we never see him refusing to do this, but he's clearly not thrilled about having to use their mutual attraction to garner information from her).

* ''Series/MacGyver1985'': "The Gauntlet", when the GirlOfTheWeek declares she's not going to eat the lizard [=MacGyver=] is cooking for dinner.
* ''Series/TheManyLovesOfDobieGillis'' was the first American TV show to use this extensively. In fact it could be argued that it deserves to be called a Dobie Cut, since almost all of them happened as a reaction to something said while addressing the audience.
* Done constantly in ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'', usually after Al says something to tempt fate.
** In one instance, Marcy was telling him he needed to see a dentist due to his bad teeth, but Al reassures her that his teeth do not hurt and never have. Gilligan Cut to later in the night as Al screams "'''''Now''''' my teeth hurt!"
** In the episode "Oldies but Young 'Uns", Al becomes obsessed with finding an old song. When he eventually sees it in a record store, the cashier says that it costs 60 dollars:
--->'''Peggy:''' 60 dollars?! For a record? Hey, look. You must look at my husband, and mistake crazy for stupid. He's not paying sixty dollars for a record, and if he does, [[CurseCutShort I'll kiss your]]--\\
''[cut to Al and Peggy entering their house, Al with the record in his hand, and Peggy wiping her mouth]''
* On ''Series/{{MASH}}'', in the episode "The Trial Of Henry Blake". When Frank tells Hawkeye and Trapper that they're under arrest (to keep them from trying to save Col. Blake from a court-martial), they laugh hysterically - until we cut to the next scene, where they are not only under arrest, but have been relieved of their uniforms as well (presumably to make it harder should they try to escape).
** Several seasons later, in the episode "Comrades in Arms", thanks to a combination of bad communication and bad timing, [[UnresolvedSexualTension Margaret and Hawkeye]] are caught on the road during an air strike. Meanwhile, their friends back at the 4077th are frantic with worry.
--->'''BJ:''' They must be going through hell out there!\\
''[cut to Hawkeye and Margaret passionately making out]''
* ''Series/{{Matlock}}'': Matlock, about to go on a fishing trip, gets a letter calling him in for jury duty. Matlock remarks, that as a prominent defense attorney, there's a snowball's chance in hell he'd be selected. Cut to Matlock sitting in the jury box. An example of ArtisticLicenseLaw, as in most of the United States and all Canadian provinces lawyers are ineligible for jury duty.
* ''Series/MenBehavingBadly'' writer Simon Nye has declared his hatred for this trope, considering it a sitcom cliché, and managed to get away with only using it once in the entire run of MBB (Ken has taken over the pub; Gary declares that he and Tony will not set foot in there again until Les is restored as barman -- Gilligan Cut to him and Tony convivially sharing a drink with Ken inside the pub).
* ''Series/TheMentalist'': When Jane suggests to Lisbon that she should blackmail Ardiles in the fifth season, she asks how would she do that, since she has nothing on him. Jane then recommends her to turn to the most gossipy person she knows in search for a rumor that could get her leverage on Ardiles. Cue GilliganCut to Lisbon talking with [[GossipyHens Brenda]].
* From ''Series/Merlin2008'' in the episode "To Kill the King", Morgana challenges Uther.
-->'''Uther:''' Take care child, or I'll have you restrained.\\
'''Morgana:''' You just try.\\
''[scene cuts to Morgan being dragged into a cell by the guards and chained to a wall]''
** From "The Gates of Avalon" come two slightly more humorous examples:
--->'''Uther:''' If this were a time of war, I would have you flogged.\\
'''Merlin:''' ''[overeager grin]'' And as it's not, we'll forget it just this once?\\
''[cut to Merlin in the stocks]''\\
'''Merlin:''' I'd forgotten how much fun this is.\\
''[and then again, later]''\\
'''Merlin:''' You know, I think I'm starting to get the hang of this whole deception lark.\\
''[cut to Merlin in the stocks. Again.]''
* Subverted in ''Series/TheMightyBoosh'' when Howard refuses to dress as a panda, saying no man should ever be forced to do that. Cut to Vince dressed as a panda instead.
* Can happen thanks to Dash's precognitive abilities in ''Series/MinorityReport2015''. When asked if he's staying for dinner by Vega's mother, he confirms and claims they're having Chinese. Vega stops him, saying that she's cooking. Cut to a burnt lasagne and a {{beat}}, followed by Vega declaring that they're ordering Chinese.
* ''Series/{{Monk}}'' has a number of interesting Gilligan Cuts.
** In "Mr. Monk and the Missing Granny", Monk and Sharona are seen at a homeless shelter. Monk asks if there is a more subtle disguise that will prevent them from standing out. Cuts to Monk and Sharona at the serving counter.
** In "Mr. Monk Is on the Run Part Two", Stottlemeyer makes Natalie promise not to look for Monk after he fakes his death. Natalie promises to leave him as is. She promises and... the scene cuts to her hurriedly packing a suitcase.
** In "Mr. Monk Buys a House", it happens twice in the same conversation between Monk and [[CrookedContractor "Honest" Jake Phillips]], when he announces he needs to repair some frayed wiring that's a fire hazard:
--->'''"Honest" Jake Phillips:''' Adrian, I'm a surgeon. It's just gonna be like taking out an appendix - a little incision, snip, snip, snip, pop over with the wire, and the fixture, a little spackle, a little paint... ''[smiles while indicating "and then, good as new"]''\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' Is it going to be, you know, like ''[imitates the sound of a drill]'' messy?\\
'''"Honest" Jake Phillips:''' Nah, no way. You won't even know I was here!\\
''[Cuts to Jake punching a large and very messy hole all the way through the wall with his hammer, sending debris flying everywhere while Monk wears a face protector and cringes with every swing of Jake's hammer. After a few swings, Jake stops]''\\
'''"Honest" Jake Phillips:''' Uh-oh.\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' Uh-oh? Uh, again uh-oh? ''[Jake shakes his head vigorously]''\\
'''"Honest" Jake Phillips:''' I do not like the look of this. All right, we've got a little problerino. It's what we call a "glitch".\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' Yeah, yeah, okay.\\
'''"Honest" Jake Phillips:''' You see this pipe? ''[taps at the one in question with his hammer]'' Right there? That's your primary water line. It's corroded.\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' Of course it is.\\
'''"Honest" Jake Phillips:''' Almost all the way through. Could burst any time. ''[turns to Monk]'' I thought-I thought that you got this place inspected!\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' I did! I did!\\
'''"Honest" Jake Phillips:''' ''[incredulous]'' What, was the guy blind in both eyes? All right, listen to me, Adrian, I've gotta be honest with you, because I respect you very much: ''[points]'' this whole section has to go...\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' Oh no!\\
'''"Honest" Jake Phillips:''' ...right here, which means ''this'' wall, ''that'' wall, and this half of the floor.\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' What about that half?\\
'''"Honest" Jake Phillips:''' That's gonna have to come up, too. But I know a great plumber. His name is Ramone. They call him "Honest Ramone".\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' Of course they do. ''[Cuts to Monk and Natalie sitting on the stairs, cringing as Jake and Ramone hack away at the wall]''
* ''Series/TheMuppets'' openly lampshades this in the first episode with Gonzo talking of how it's an overused device to use one-on-one interviews and then cut to someone saying a totally different thing. Guess what comes next...
* ''Series/MurdochMysteries'': In "Murdoch Au Naturel", Brackenreid and Murdoch have the bright idea to send in someone undercover at a nudist colony, and since the naturists have already met Murdoch, he and Brackenreid turn to Constable Crabtree, who objects. Cut to Crabtree entering the colony ''sans'' clothing.
* ''Series/MyHero'' season 1 episode 3 when George is trying to wash his super hero outfit.
-->'''George:''' Tyler! Do you know how to work washing machines?\\
'''Tyler:''' Do I know how to work washing machines?\\
''[cut to kitchen filled with bubbles]''\\
'''Tyler:''' No.
* A rare dramatic Gilligan Cut occurs in the ''Series/MySoCalledLife'' episode "Life of Brian":
-->'''Brian:''' ''[voiceover]'' I vow to never again show up at Angela's door with some lame excuse!\\
''[cut to Brian at Angela's door talking to her dad about something he supposedly borrowed from her]''
* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' loves to put this trope in the mouths of the victim-movie's characters.
-->'''Character in ''{{Film/Mitchell}}'':''' I am not bringing that shipment in and that is final.\\
'''Tom Servo:''' Doo-dle-oo-dle-oo-dle-oo, the shipment's in!
* ''Series/MythBusters'':
** Reversed in an episode where they tested bulletproof plexiglass, because Jamie said it was bulletproof. Jamie: "[[ExactWords I never said it was bulletproof]]". Cut to an older episode, with Jamie gesturing to the substance and saying "It'll stop a bullet". Repeated for comic effect.
** Also reversed on Adam during the ''Film/AmericanGraffiti'' myth with his prediction of the outcome, which led to him popularizing the now-famous "[[IRejectYourReality I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own]]" line.

[[folder:N]]
* In an episode of ''Series/NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide'', to cheer Ned up and get him to stop thinking about Susie, Cookie and company intend to take Ned to a part of the school devoid of girls and flowers: the gymnasium. Cut to them arriving at the gym doors and entering...only to find that the Garden Club is using the space to build an Arbor Day float. In short, the room is filled with flowers and populated by girls.
** Later in the episode:
--->'''Ned:''' Well then, I'm going to write Martin that tip. ''[cut]'' I can't think of one!
* Dick from ''Series/{{Newhart}}'' was in the station manager's office at the television station when a report came in that the host of a local children's show had taken ill and they needed a quick replacement. The manager turns to Dick who adamantly refuses. Cut to Dick filling in for the host.
* In the ''Series/NoOrdinaryFamily'' episode "No Ordinary Quake", Jim & Stephanie are talking about how to test their son JJ for superpowers
-->'''Jim:''' So what're you going to do, honey? You gonna tell your son you don't believe him and, what, ask him for his DNA?\\
'''Stephanie:''' I think I can come up with a more subtle approach.\\
''(cut to Stephanie the next day, placing a cup on the table in front of JJ)''\\
'''JJ:''' You want me to pee in a cup?

** In "The Cricket Game":
--->'''Emma:''' There's only one name on that list who would resort to killing to get what they want.\\
''[cut to a delighted Mr. Gold opening a picnic basket from Belle]''
** A darker version in "The Outsider". At [[spoiler:Archie's funeral]], Gepetto says that he's "in a better place." Cut to [[spoiler:Archie being held as a prisoner aboard Hook's ship.]]

-->'''Victor:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I. Do. Not. Want. A Dog!]]\\
''[cut to Victor building a kennel]''

[[folder:P]]
* Ron Swanson in ''Series/ParksAndRecreation'' seems to have this happen a lot:
** One episode sees him promise Leslie that he and his psychotic ex-wife Tammy are just going outside for a quiet talk. Cut to them making out through the bars of their holding cells the next morning.
** Another episode (seen in the page quote) sees him lampshade it, as he just says he has no idea what happened and how he managed to be dragged to lunch with a colleague. See it [[http://imgur.com/gallery/1DLSv here]].
* Not common in ''Series/PeepShow'', but there is an example in "The William Morris Years" involving a newly non-drinking Super Hans reluctantly agreeing to a little taste of beer. Just to wet the whistle. Cut to severe drunken antics. Read [[https://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?tv-show=peep-show-2003&episode=s01e06 more.]]
* An episode of ''Series/PerfectStrangers'' had Larry being called to court because the police needed to talk to an informant on a story he'd done. However, he refuses to divulge the name of his source, citing journalistic integrity about protecting sources.
-->'''Larry:''' They're not going to throw us in jail. They'll probably throw us a parade.\\
''[cut to Larry and Balki in a jail cell as the door is closed]''\\
'''Balki:''' Does this mean we're going to miss the parade?
* In part two of the ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder''/''[[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Ninja Storm]]'' crossover episode, Blake insists that there's absolutely no way he's going to follow Hunter and Cam into the Abyss of Evil to reclaim their powers. Cut to him wearing a helmet and rappelling gear, stating once more for the record that he thinks this is a bad idea before they begin climbing down.
* ''{{Series/Psych}}'' uses this sometimes. One example from Season 5, episode 14, "The Polarizing Express" (and yes, it's a ChristmasEpisode), when Shawn and Gus are on a stakeout:
-->'''Gus:''' Shawn, you need to try to take a nap. You look tired.\\
'''Shawn:''' ''[scoffs]'' Gus. Don't be Keith Sweat now. I'm sharp as a tack.\\
''[scene fades to Shawn sleeping, with a superscript: "Exactly 7 minutes later"]''

* ''Series/RaisingHope'' features one of [[BlackComedy the darkest takes]] on this trope in the pilot episode, when Lucy, eight months pregnant and on Death Row, tells Jimmy, "There's no way they're gonna kill the mother of a six-month old baby!" Cut to the witness area, with Jimmy and the baby in attendance as she gets put in the electric chair.
* In the fourth episode of ''Series/RavensHome'', Raven is trying to bond with the twins after Devon moved away. They suggest riding the Wind Tickler in the amusement park and Raven agrees that it sounds like fun. Cut to them hanging on the Wind Tickler and Raven panicking "This is not fun! This is not fun!"
* ''Series/{{Reba}}''
** In an episode, Reba's son-in-law becomes a driver in a pizza joint while having no vehicle of his own, so he requests Reba to drive him for deliveries. Reba refuses and refuses...and cut! In the next, scene she ''is'' driving her son-in-law for deliveries, albeit reluctantly.
** In an earlier episode, her ex-husband begs her to come with him to help him spread his father's ashes on a golf course. She declares, "Uh-uh! Those [[PuppyDogEyes puppy-dog eyes]] aren't gonna work on me anymore!" Cut to the golf course, where she stands next to him holding a rake.
* ''Series/RedDwarf'' uses this in the TyrantTakesTheHelm episode when [[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonIIQueeg Queeg]] forces everyone to work in order to get food.
-->'''Queeg:''' From now on, '''everybody works.'''\\
'''Cat:''' Nuh-uh, not this kitty!\\
''(Cut to Lister and The Cat scrubbing floors)''
** A later episode, [[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonXIISkipper "Skipper"]], effectively uses this trope as a space-time phenomenon: the crew encounter an anomaly that affects the fabric of the universe, meaning that every time somebody makes a decision, the ''opposite'' of that decision immediately happens; so when the Cat refuses to make Lister a coffee, it immediately jumps to Cat offering Lister the coffee he's just made (Lister then proceeds to manipulate Cat into getting him biscuits, making him breakfast, tidying his bunk and polishing his boots), when Rimmer and Kryten decide not to warn the others about the anomaly it immediately jumps to Kryten making an announcement asking them to join them at once, and when Cat decides to take the lift he's immediately teleported to the stairs.

'''Sarah Jane:''' I think I can manage.\\
''[cut to Clyde reading a text message from Luke]''\\
'''Clyde:''' "Mum just set the kitchen on fire again."
* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'': In the episode "My Porcelain God", the Janitor accuses J.D. of telling people about the roof toilet (after he had asked him not to earlier in the episode). J.D. responds, "first of all, why would I tell anyone? And secondly, no one has epiphanies on the john!" Cut to Dr. Cox having an epiphany on the roof toilet, presumably giving him the idea to put a patient in Dr. Kelso's office when there are no beds elsewhere.
** In one episode, Elliot talks about how great [[RomanticFalseLead her fiancee Keith]] is, saying he would walk through fire for her. A Gilligan Cut shows the Janitor trying to convince Keith to ''{{literal|Metaphor}}ly'' walk through fire to prove the his love for Elliot, though Keith refuses to.
** When Eliot and Carla are discussing the problems they each have with JD and Turk respectively, Carla wonders if Turk and JD could help each other. Eliot replies that they are guys, who don't talk about their feelings. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7hjdC8-jbw Cue Guy Love song.]]
** PlayedForDrama in one episode where Dr. Kelso works on managing the budget and tries to figure out who to fire to bring it in line. Dr. Cox is disgusted to hear him say that and offers to work the budget himself.
--->'''Cox:''' I won't even have to fire somebody.\\

''[slams the door in Kramer's face]''\\
'''Kramer:''' I knew it... Stupid Jerry...\\
''[cut to Jerry's apartment, ten minutes earlier]''\\
'''Jerry:''' Kramer, I know what I'm talking about. There's no way FDR wants you to drop dead.
* In ''Series/{{Selfie}}'', the episode "Untag My Heart", Henry is grilling Eliza on her "relationship" with coworker Freddy. There is a direct cut revealing Eliza's lies. "Do you two ever make advance plans" "Kind of" *Cut to Eliza in bed receiving a text of 'Sup?' from Freddie. She jumps out of bed to go meet him.* "Have you and Freddy ever been on an actual date?" *Cut to Eliza dancing at a club when she gets another "Sup?" text from Freddy. She rushes out of the club* "Eliza, have you and Freddy ever even been outside together?" "For the most part" *Cut to making out in his apartment* "Does his wraparound terrace count?"
* In the US version of ''Series/{{Shameless}}'', Sheila gets upset when Frank asks her to make some phone calls for him without asking questions ([[ItMakesSenseInContext it makes sense in context]]). To make it right and get his way, Frank offers to disguise himself any way she likes, and there would be no safe word. Cut to Sheila happily making the phone calls after that.
* In one episode of ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'', Sherlock is testifying in court against Moriarty, and launches into his typical lightning-fast deductions, stepping on the toes of almost everyone in the room. The judge finally calls him out on it, saying "Do you think you could go for just a few minutes WITHOUT SHOWING OFF?!" Sherlock opens his mouth to reply, and... the scene cuts to him being led into a cell.
* From an episode of ''Series/SledgeHammer'', when it's suggested that the police hold a fund-raising telethon:
-->'''Captain Trunk:''' That is the most preposterous thing that I have ever heard! We will have a telethon over my dead body!\\
''[cut to Trunk singing "[[StandardSnippet Hava Nagila]]" at the telethon]''
* In the ''Series/SpartacusBloodAndSand'' episode "The Thing in the Pit", Spartacus is condemned to fight in the pits, as is Kerza.

* In the ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode "Visionary":

** In "Take Me Out to the Holosuite," Sisko has assembled his own baseball team to take on his Academy rival, Solok. When Cassidy asks him why he's taking it so seriously, he tells her about how Solok has spent his life flaunting his own superiority, and then makes her promise not to tell the team. One scene transition later, she's told the team everything.
** A rare non-comedic example appears in "Improbable Cause". After an assassin who tried to kill Garak is himself assassinated, Odo deduces that the Romulans may be responsible. Sisko replies that he doubts the Romulans would be forthcoming in admitting such a connection. Cut to subspace communication of a Romulan operative freely admitting that they did indeed execute the assassin.
* Played with, perhaps unintentionally, in the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "Spectre of the Gun": the group decide they'll wait right here until 5:00, when they're scheduled for the shootout at the OK Corral (ItMakesSenseInContext), but are instantly teleported there.
* From ''Series/{{Supernatural}} 6''.07 "Family Matters", as Dean wants to get involved in the hunt on the Alpha Vampire:

'''Dr. Weiss:''' ''[after a pause]'' I'm the one holding a shotgun, son.\\

* ''Series/{{Taxi}}''. A Gilligan Cut without the cut: the gang is helping Jim out at his new bar. Jim hears that Alex plays piano and loudly introduces him as a performer. Alex adamantly states that he won't play -- a gorgeous woman sidles up to him and purrs "I'd ''love'' to hear 'Ebb Tide'." Alex promptly launches into "Ebb Tide".
* One episode of ''Series/TeenWolf'' starts with Jackson and Lydia sitting in Lydia's car outside a video rental store, Jackson trying and failing to convince Lydia to watch ''Film/{{Hoosiers}}''. Finally, he gets frustrated with her complete dismissal of his opinion, and this happens:

Cut back to Kitty, [[BlackComedyBurst who says that the water tower was renamed]] [[DroppedABridgeOnHim in Charlie's memory]].]]
* A recurring bit in ''Series/ThatMitchellAndWebbLook'' is "Get Me Hennimore!", an AffectionateParody of [[TheSeventies seventies sitcoms]], every sketch beginning with Hennimore's boss setting up an obvious opportunity for Hennimore to botch (such as showing a recovering alcoholic a set of antique golf clubs with an identical-looking novelty liquor cabinet nearby) and getting his assurance that he'll get it right this time, at which point the sketch immediately cuts to the "end of the episode," with the boss walking in on the extremely predictable disaster.
** Doubly subverted with the final sketch, where a meeting with Russian diplomats involving state secrets goes fine... until [[NukeEm the nuke goes off]].
* ''Series/TheThundermans'' has an episode where Hank & Barb agree to let Chloe come back to sleep with them after fear of a monster in her own room. After Max and Nora say that they enjoy sleeping together, Hank says "Why do we need a five bedroom house? Let's all just sleep in the same room!" Cut to all five family members sharing a bed and Hank saying "I was kidding!"

'''Jeremy Clarkson:''' I have absolutely no idea...\\
''[pause]''\\
'''Jeremy Clarkson:''' Uh, anyway... Ferrari! A couple of years ago, they introduced this amazing new hyper car called the F60, and we've been trying ever since to get hold of one.\\
''[assorted talk about the trouble they had, getting their hands on one to drive]''\\
'''Jeremy Clarkson:''' And then, out of the blue, Nick Mason, who's the drummer with Music/PinkFloyd, telephoned to say that he's got an F60 which we could borrow, if we promised to plug his new book. Well, we aren't really allowed to plug stuff on ''Top Gear'', but I said to him, "Look, if we can have your F60, I'll slide a couple of references in, and I don't think any of the bigwigs'll notice...\\
''[cut to segment backed by the Pink Floyd track "Astronomy Domine"]''
** It should be noted the rest of the segment was packed full of Pink Floyd tracks, as well as numerous "The only thing as awesome as this car is this book I've been reading" lines.
** From the Vietnam episode:
--->''[Hammond and May are sitting comfortably in a bar, drinking]''\\
'''Hammond:''' Do you think he's enjoying his first biking experience?\\
''[cut to Clarkson, riding a beat-up Vespa, decked out with a plethora of mirrors, most of which are reflecting the headlight directly into his eyes]''\\
'''Clarkson:''' I AM THE MOST MISERABLE HUMAN BEING ALIVE!!
** From the same episode:
--->'''Clarkson:''' ''[voiceover]'' Still, at least I'd been assured it wouldn't rain.\\
''[fast cut to Clarkson, Hammond, and May riding their motorbikes in a teeming Vietnamese monsoon]''\\
'''Clarkson:''' Name an upside to this, mate! ''Name ONE upside!''\\
'''May:''' Well, you're not hot anymore, are you?
** From the same episode:
--->'''Clarkson''' ''[with his bike having broken down yet again]'' Still, at least my mates wouldn't leave me behind this time.\\
''[cut to Hammond and May driving away at top speed]''
** From series 16, episode 3, where they go to Albania:
--->'''Clarkson:''' ''[after reading a letter requesting a car test for the Albanian Mafia]'' This caused one hell of a row in the office. The producers said, "We should go out to Albania and do the test," and we said, "No! We can't be seen to be helping the Mafia!" We were ''adamant''. We said, "this is our line in the sand. We will, not, go."\\

* ''Series/TheWestWing'': Josh has made a political deal that helps the White House but screws over Mandy, his old girlfriend:
-->'''Mandy:''' You know what the worst part about this is?\\
'''Lloyd Russell:''' Well, I think you dinged up your suspension pretty good.\\
'''Mandy:''' No, Lloyd, it's the party they're having, right now, in the West Wing, at my expense.\\
'''Russell:''' They're not having a party in the West Wing.\\
'''Mandy:''' I've worked with these people for two and a half years. They like to win and they like to gloat.\\
'''Russell:''' These people are professionals. A blow was struck against party unity today. No one is going to be gloating.\\
''[scene cut to Josh's office]''\\
'''Josh:''' Victory is mine, victory is mine. Great day in the morning, people, victory is mine!\\
''[everyone applauds as Josh dances and pounds on his chest]''
** Series/TheWestWing also had a variation with no actual cut. For example, when Joey is first introduced she repeatedly tells Josh she wants to meet the President, Josh tells her that absolutely will not happen, then the President walks in and introduces himself to Joey.
* ''Series/{{Wings}}''
** In the episode "Death Becomes Him", Joe and Brian accidentally fly the wrong corpse in for a funeral. Brian suggests that Joe masquerade as the dead man until they have time to switch the bodies.
--->'''Brian:''' Get in the box, Joe.\\
'''Joe:''' No! There is no way I am getting in that box.\\
''[cut to Joe in the casket at the funeral]''\\
'''Joe:''' ''[thinking]'' I can't believe I got in the box!
** Subverted in the episode "I've Got a Secret". Alex confides to Helen and Antonio that she once posed in Magazine/{{Playboy}}. When Joe and Brian discover that Antonio knows a secret about Alex, they begin to badger him.
--->'''Joe:''' Come on. Tell us what you know.\\
'''Antonio:''' I can't. I won't. There is no way you're ever getting this out of me.\\
''[cut to Lowell walking into the office later that day with a large stack of magazines]''\\
'''Lowell''' Okay, this is the last of them. Every Magazine/{{Playboy}} from '85 to '89.
** However, the cut ends up being deceptive, as it was not Antonio who blabbed, but Helen.
* From ''Series/TheWorstWitch'' when Mildred is having trouble with her part in the broomstick tableau:
-->'''Maud:''' It'll be fine, you'll see. Everything will go click.\\
''[cut to Mildred crashing into the bins on her broomstick]''\\
'''Mildred:''' You call that "going click"?

'''Humphrey:''' ''[indignant]'' Of course not, Prime Minister, I wouldn't dream of it.\\
''[cut to a visibly-distraught Humphrey taking a sip of wine]''\\
'''Humphrey:''' So what do you think I should do, Arnold?
* Partly PlayedForDrama in ''Series/YoureTheWorst'':

* A very early episode of ''Series/Zoey101'' had this, when Zoey is telling Chase about how living with Quinn is giving her a hard time:
-->'''Chase:''' You can't just look a girl in the face and say, "I don't want to live with you anymore."\\
''[cut to Quinn's room where she is looking at Zoey]''\\
'''Quinn:''' Zoey, I don't want to live with you anymore.

** Played straight in season 3, episode 21:
--->'''Kenneth:''' ''[showing several guests of Jack's around]'' And this is the backstage area.\\
'''Jack:''' Kenneth, I'd like to speak with Mr. Green for a moment.\\
'''Kenneth:''' And as head of this tour, I'm going to deny your request.\\
''[SmashCut, almost before Kenneth even finishes the word "request", to Jack's office where he's sitting with Milton Green]''
* ''60 Second Sitcoms'' were minute-long sitcom parodies (complete with opening and ending titles) that TV Land used to show between programs. One called ''Spin and Cutter'' was a parody of this trope.
-->''[Spin and Cutter trudge into the living room]''\\
'''Spin:''' Thank goodness that's over!\\
'''Cutter:''' Yea. Well, one good thing...\\
'''Both together:''' At least YOU got that letter back!\\
''[they both look at each other as we cut to... both of them in a two-man horse costume]''\\
'''Spin:''' Wait, these aren't security guard costumes!\\
''[cut to the two of them in security guard uniforms breaking into an office]''\\
'''Spin:''' Someone's coming! Quick, out on the ledge!\\
'''Cutter:''' That's dangerous! We're on the 40th floor!\\
'''Spin:''' More dangerous than the Boss finding us in his office after hours?\\
''[cut to Spin and Cutter as angels]''\\
'''Spin:''' Well, at least it can't get any worse.\\
'''Cutter:''' Spin, old buddy, for once I think you're right.

* Done in the ''Series/DoctorWho'' bio-documentary special ''Film/AnAdventureInSpaceAndTime'', when Verity is trying to sell William Hartnell on the idea of the series. When she describes the "state of the art facilities", we cut to the Lime Grove studio in disrepair and when she talks about how the sound effects are created with the latest technology, we cut to FX wizard Delia Derbyshire scraping metal keys across piano strings to create the signature TARDIS sound effect.
* In the property episode of ''Series/TheApprentice'' UK Series Nine, the teams both find that they have no customers left to sell property to, and Scott comments that "you can't just go out on the street for stuff like this". Cut to ''the other team'' going out on the street to sell property.
* ''Series/AustinAndAlly'': A staple of the comedy on the show. They happen repeatedly and often back to back in the same scene. Sometimes they don't even do a cut, they just have the person wander into the shot doing the Gilligan action. An example from "My Tab & My Pet" where the group have to wait in line for a new computer tablet:
-->'''Ally:''' I wish I didn't have to work today, I need to be in that line.\\
'''Trish:''' Relax, it's not like Dez is there by himself, Austin is with him and Austin would never leave the line.\\
'''Austin:''' ''[enters ''Sonic Boom'']'' Hey guys. I left the line.\\
'''Ally:''' Why?\\
'''Austin:''' I needed a break.\\
'''Ally:''' You left Dez there by himself?\\
'''Austin:''' It's only been 5 minutes, do you think Dez is just gonna let people go in front of him?\\
''[cut to Dez letting people in front of him]''

[[folder:B]]
* Variation both in the original series ''and'' TheMovie of ''Film/TheBeverlyHillbillies'': Granny loudly declares her opposition to leaving, stating that they won't get her out of her rockin' chair. The next scene shows the truck packed and loaded, including Granny's rocker. Granny's still in it.
* ''Series/BlakesSeven''. In [[Recap/BlakesSevenS3E4DawnOfTheGods "Dawn of the Gods"]], the crew want [[DirtyCoward Vila]] to put on a spacesuit and take a look outside the spaceship.
-->'''Vila:''' Oh no. Not me. Not a space suit. Well, it wasn't my idea. I never did trust those things. Nothing, absolutely nothing in the whole galaxy can or will persuade me to wear one. Not a chance.\\
''[cut to the airlock where Vila is wearing a spacesuit]''
* In the ''Series/BoardwalkEmpire'' episode "Family Limitations", Margaret asks Eddie whether Nucky is a nice man, which Eddie confirms he is. Then we cut to Nucky in his office insulting Luciano.
* In the BBC adaptation of ''[[Literature/MissMarple The Body in the Library]]'', Colonel Bantry's "I am ''not'' going downstairs to ask if there is a body in my library" is instantly disproved.
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and ''Series/{{Angel}}'' made frequent use of these.

First, he furiously rails against something or someone in the intro, and then he cuts straight to welcoming that person to his show. "[...] I will never, in a million years, ever understand what Jake Tapper was thinking! Here to tell me what Jake Tapper was thinking, please welcome the host of 'This Week', Jake Tapper."
* ''Series/ColdCase'': In "Saving Sammy", Valens and Vera go to interview a witness who is autistic. Valens tells Vera to take his yellow tie as the witness does not like the colour yellow. Vera refuses. The next shot has them walking into the autistic boy's room. Vera is not wearing his tie.

As he does, the show suddenly cuts back to 36 hours earlier when Healy is buying the gun from his arms dealer:
-->'''Turk Barrett:''' ''[smells the pistol]'' Mmmm. Love that smell. Metal and oil. Fresh, never been fired. Take a whiff. ''[Healy picks up the gun and holds it in a firing stance]''\\
'''John Healy:''' [[RevolversAreJustBetter I'd like a good revolver better]]. No chance of jamming up.\\

-->'''Spencer:''' NO! WE NEVER SURRENDER THIS BOAT!\\
''[cut to Spencer and Gibby being thrown into a garbage dumpster]''\\
'''Spencer:''' ...They have our boat.
* ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' loves to play with this trope with the episode title cards. For example:
-->'''Mac:''' You guys have nothing outside this bar.\\
'''Dennis Reynolds:''' Don't worry, Mac. We'll be just fine.\\
''[cut to title card: "Dennis and Dee Go on Welfare"]''

* Occurs many times on ''Series/{{Jessie}}'':
** First seen in "Glue: Hoodunnit" when Mrs. Chesterfield's hair gel is switched with glue getting her hands stuck to her head and believes the Ross kids committed the prank.

* Days after UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump's first address to Congress, ''Series/LateNight with Seth Meyers'' had [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzXrvTNOOqc a case of this]]:
-->'''Seth Meyers:''' Obviously, Donald Trump got off to a rough start as president, but he finally had what many pundits considered a good day on Tuesday with his first address to Congress. The speech got glowing reviews from the media and Trump was finally able to reset the narrative of his presidency. And you know what? I have been hard on him, but I think it's only fair that we take a minute to celebrate. In fact, I got some balloons right here and I'm going to start blowing them up to celebrate the fact that Trump finally has everything under control.\\
''[As he starts blowing up the balloon, the camera cuts to news clips about reports that attorney general Jeff Sessions had met with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. but failed to disclose that in his confirmation hearings. When the camera cuts back to Seth, he's dejectedly letting all the air escape from the balloon]''\\
'''Seth Meyers:''' And we had [bleep] fireworks, too!
* ''Series/LawAndOrderUK'': DS Ronnie Brooks is musing over the possible location of evidence in an assault case. His gaze turns towards a Dumpster. Following his gaze and realizing what he's thinking, his partner DS Matt Devlin yelps, "NO! ''No way'', Ron!" Sure enough, the next scene is of the two of them at the garbage dump, sifting through the trash, with Matt griping and complaining the entire time while Ronnie gleefully teases him.
** In another episode, the detectives want to review evidence from an old case and realize that they need to discuss things with the CPS. Their superior mentions that CP Alesha Phillips was the prosecutor on the case, at which point, she and Brooks give Devlin a look, to which he gives a very startled DoubleTake. The next scene is of Devlin trying to sweet-talk Alesha into giving them the necessary files. (To be fair, we never see him refusing to do this, but he's clearly not thrilled about having to use their mutual attraction to garner information from her).

[[folder:M]]
* ''Series/MacGyver1985'': "The Gauntlet", when the GirlOfTheWeek declares she's not going to eat the lizard [=MacGyver=] is cooking for dinner.
* ''Series/TheManyLovesOfDobieGillis'' was the first American TV show to use this extensively. In fact it could be argued that it deserves to be called a Dobie Cut, since almost all of them happened as a reaction to something said while addressing the audience.
* Done constantly in ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'', usually after Al says something to tempt fate.
** In one instance, Marcy was telling him he needed to see a dentist due to his bad teeth, but Al reassures her that his teeth do not hurt and never have. Gilligan Cut to later in the night as Al screams "'''''Now''''' my teeth hurt!"
** In the episode "Oldies but Young 'Uns", Al becomes obsessed with finding an old song. When he eventually sees it in a record store, the cashier says that it costs 60 dollars:
--->'''Peggy:''' 60 dollars?! For a record? Hey, look. You must look at my husband, and mistake crazy for stupid. He's not paying sixty dollars for a record, and if he does, [[CurseCutShort I'll kiss your]]--\\
''[cut to Al and Peggy entering their house, Al with the record in his hand, and Peggy wiping her mouth]''
* On ''Series/{{MASH}}'', in the episode "The Trial Of Henry Blake". When Frank tells Hawkeye and Trapper that they're under arrest (to keep them from trying to save Col. Blake from a court-martial), they laugh hysterically - until we cut to the next scene, where they are not only under arrest, but have been relieved of their uniforms as well (presumably to make it harder should they try to escape).
** Several seasons later, in the episode "Comrades in Arms", thanks to a combination of bad communication and bad timing, [[UnresolvedSexualTension Margaret and Hawkeye]] are caught on the road during an air strike. Meanwhile, their friends back at the 4077th are frantic with worry.
--->'''BJ:''' They must be going through hell out there!\\
''[cut to Hawkeye and Margaret passionately making out]''
* ''Series/{{Matlock}}'': Matlock, about to go on a fishing trip, gets a letter calling him in for jury duty. Matlock remarks, that as a prominent defense attorney, there's a snowball's chance in hell he'd be selected. Cut to Matlock sitting in the jury box. An example of ArtisticLicenseLaw, as in most of the United States and all Canadian provinces lawyers are ineligible for jury duty.
* ''Series/MenBehavingBadly'' writer Simon Nye has declared his hatred for this trope, considering it a sitcom cliché, and managed to get away with only using it once in the entire run of MBB (Ken has taken over the pub; Gary declares that he and Tony will not set foot in there again until Les is restored as barman -- Gilligan Cut to him and Tony convivially sharing a drink with Ken inside the pub).
* ''Series/TheMentalist'': When Jane suggests to Lisbon that she should blackmail Ardiles in the fifth season, she asks how would she do that, since she has nothing on him. Jane then recommends her to turn to the most gossipy person she knows in search for a rumor that could get her leverage on Ardiles. Cue GilliganCut to Lisbon talking with [[GossipyHens Brenda]].
* From ''Series/Merlin2008'' in the episode "To Kill the King", Morgana challenges Uther.
-->'''Uther:''' Take care child, or I'll have you restrained.\\
'''Morgana:''' You just try.\\
''[scene cuts to Morgan being dragged into a cell by the guards and chained to a wall]''
** From "The Gates of Avalon" come two slightly more humorous examples:
--->'''Uther:''' If this were a time of war, I would have you flogged.\\
'''Merlin:''' ''[overeager grin]'' And as it's not, we'll forget it just this once?\\
''[cut to Merlin in the stocks]''\\
'''Merlin:''' I'd forgotten how much fun this is.\\
''[and then again, later]''\\
'''Merlin:''' You know, I think I'm starting to get the hang of this whole deception lark.\\
''[cut to Merlin in the stocks. Again.]''
* Subverted in ''Series/TheMightyBoosh'' when Howard refuses to dress as a panda, saying no man should ever be forced to do that. Cut to Vince dressed as a panda instead.
* Can happen thanks to Dash's precognitive abilities in ''Series/MinorityReport2015''. When asked if he's staying for dinner by Vega's mother, he confirms and claims they're having Chinese. Vega stops him, saying that she's cooking. Cut to a burnt lasagne and a {{beat}}, followed by Vega declaring that they're ordering Chinese.
* ''Series/{{Monk}}'' has a number of interesting Gilligan Cuts.
** In "Mr. Monk and the Missing Granny", Monk and Sharona are seen at a homeless shelter. Monk asks if there is a more subtle disguise that will prevent them from standing out. Cuts to Monk and Sharona at the serving counter.
** In "Mr. Monk Is on the Run Part Two", Stottlemeyer makes Natalie promise not to look for Monk after he fakes his death. Natalie promises to leave him as is. She promises and... the scene cuts to her hurriedly packing a suitcase.
** In "Mr. Monk Buys a House", it happens twice in the same conversation between Monk and [[CrookedContractor "Honest" Jake Phillips]], when he announces he needs to repair some frayed wiring that's a fire hazard:
--->'''"Honest" Jake Phillips:''' Adrian, I'm a surgeon. It's just gonna be like taking out an appendix - a little incision, snip, snip, snip, pop over with the wire, and the fixture, a little spackle, a little paint... ''[smiles while indicating "and then, good as new"]''\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' Is it going to be, you know, like ''[imitates the sound of a drill]'' messy?\\
'''"Honest" Jake Phillips:''' Nah, no way. You won't even know I was here!\\
''[Cuts to Jake punching a large and very messy hole all the way through the wall with his hammer, sending debris flying everywhere while Monk wears a face protector and cringes with every swing of Jake's hammer. After a few swings, Jake stops]''\\
'''"Honest" Jake Phillips:''' Uh-oh.\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' Uh-oh? Uh, again uh-oh? ''[Jake shakes his head vigorously]''\\
'''"Honest" Jake Phillips:''' I do not like the look of this. All right, we've got a little problerino. It's what we call a "glitch".\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' Yeah, yeah, okay.\\
'''"Honest" Jake Phillips:''' You see this pipe? ''[taps at the one in question with his hammer]'' Right there? That's your primary water line. It's corroded.\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' Of course it is.\\
'''"Honest" Jake Phillips:''' Almost all the way through. Could burst any time. ''[turns to Monk]'' I thought-I thought that you got this place inspected!\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' I did! I did!\\
'''"Honest" Jake Phillips:''' ''[incredulous]'' What, was the guy blind in both eyes? All right, listen to me, Adrian, I've gotta be honest with you, because I respect you very much: ''[points]'' this whole section has to go...\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' Oh no!\\
'''"Honest" Jake Phillips:''' ...right here, which means ''this'' wall, ''that'' wall, and this half of the floor.\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' What about that half?\\
'''"Honest" Jake Phillips:''' That's gonna have to come up, too. But I know a great plumber. His name is Ramone. They call him "Honest Ramone".\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' Of course they do. ''[Cuts to Monk and Natalie sitting on the stairs, cringing as Jake and Ramone hack away at the wall]''
* ''Series/TheMuppets'' openly lampshades this in the first episode with Gonzo talking of how it's an overused device to use one-on-one interviews and then cut to someone saying a totally different thing. Guess what comes next...
* ''Series/MurdochMysteries'': In "Murdoch Au Naturel", Brackenreid and Murdoch have the bright idea to send in someone undercover at a nudist colony, and since the naturists have already met Murdoch, he and Brackenreid turn to Constable Crabtree, who objects. Cut to Crabtree entering the colony ''sans'' clothing.
* ''Series/MyHero'' season 1 episode 3 when George is trying to wash his super hero outfit.
-->'''George:''' Tyler! Do you know how to work washing machines?\\
'''Tyler:''' Do I know how to work washing machines?\\
''[cut to kitchen filled with bubbles]''\\
'''Tyler:''' No.
* A rare dramatic Gilligan Cut occurs in the ''Series/MySoCalledLife'' episode "Life of Brian":
-->'''Brian:''' ''[voiceover]'' I vow to never again show up at Angela's door with some lame excuse!\\
''[cut to Brian at Angela's door talking to her dad about something he supposedly borrowed from her]''
* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' loves to put this trope in the mouths of the victim-movie's characters.

'''Tom Servo:''' Doo-dle-oo-dle-oo-dle-oo, the shipment's in!
* ''Series/MythBusters'':
** Reversed in an episode where they tested bulletproof plexiglass, because Jamie said it was bulletproof. Jamie: "[[ExactWords I never said it was bulletproof]]". Cut to an older episode, with Jamie gesturing to the substance and saying "It'll stop a bullet". Repeated for comic effect.
** Also reversed on Adam during the ''Film/AmericanGraffiti'' myth with his prediction of the outcome, which led to him popularizing the now-famous "[[IRejectYourReality I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own]]" line.

* In an episode of ''Series/NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide'', to cheer Ned up and get him to stop thinking about Susie, Cookie and company intend to take Ned to a part of the school devoid of girls and flowers: the gymnasium. Cut to them arriving at the gym doors and entering...only to find that the Garden Club is using the space to build an Arbor Day float. In short, the room is filled with flowers and populated by girls.
** Later in the episode:
--->'''Ned:''' Well then, I'm going to write Martin that tip. ''[cut]'' I can't think of one!
* Dick from ''Series/{{Newhart}}'' was in the station manager's office at the television station when a report came in that the host of a local children's show had taken ill and they needed a quick replacement. The manager turns to Dick who adamantly refuses. Cut to Dick filling in for the host.
* In the ''Series/NoOrdinaryFamily'' episode "No Ordinary Quake", Jim & Stephanie are talking about how to test their son JJ for superpowers
-->'''Jim:''' So what're you going to do, honey? You gonna tell your son you don't believe him and, what, ask him for his DNA?\\
'''Stephanie:''' I think I can come up with a more subtle approach.\\
''(cut to Stephanie the next day, placing a cup on the table in front of JJ)''\\
'''JJ:''' You want me to pee in a cup?

* Ron Swanson in ''Series/ParksAndRecreation'' seems to have this happen a lot:
** One episode sees him promise Leslie that he and his psychotic ex-wife Tammy are just going outside for a quiet talk. Cut to them making out through the bars of their holding cells the next morning.
** Another episode (seen in the page quote) sees him lampshade it, as he just says he has no idea what happened and how he managed to be dragged to lunch with a colleague. See it [[http://imgur.com/gallery/1DLSv here]].
* Not common in ''Series/PeepShow'', but there is an example in "The William Morris Years" involving a newly non-drinking Super Hans reluctantly agreeing to a little taste of beer. Just to wet the whistle. Cut to severe drunken antics. Read [[https://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?tv-show=peep-show-2003&episode=s01e06 more.]]
* An episode of ''Series/PerfectStrangers'' had Larry being called to court because the police needed to talk to an informant on a story he'd done. However, he refuses to divulge the name of his source, citing journalistic integrity about protecting sources.
-->'''Larry:''' They're not going to throw us in jail. They'll probably throw us a parade.\\
''[cut to Larry and Balki in a jail cell as the door is closed]''\\
'''Balki:''' Does this mean we're going to miss the parade?
* In part two of the ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder''/''[[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Ninja Storm]]'' crossover episode, Blake insists that there's absolutely no way he's going to follow Hunter and Cam into the Abyss of Evil to reclaim their powers. Cut to him wearing a helmet and rappelling gear, stating once more for the record that he thinks this is a bad idea before they begin climbing down.
* ''{{Series/Psych}}'' uses this sometimes. One example from Season 5, episode 14, "The Polarizing Express" (and yes, it's a ChristmasEpisode), when Shawn and Gus are on a stakeout:
-->'''Gus:''' Shawn, you need to try to take a nap. You look tired.\\
'''Shawn:''' ''[scoffs]'' Gus. Don't be Keith Sweat now. I'm sharp as a tack.\\
''[scene fades to Shawn sleeping, with a superscript: "Exactly 7 minutes later"]''

* ''Series/RaisingHope'' features one of [[BlackComedy the darkest takes]] on this trope in the pilot episode, when Lucy, eight months pregnant and on Death Row, tells Jimmy, "There's no way they're gonna kill the mother of a six-month old baby!" Cut to the witness area, with Jimmy and the baby in attendance as she gets put in the electric chair.
* In the fourth episode of ''Series/RavensHome'', Raven is trying to bond with the twins after Devon moved away. They suggest riding the Wind Tickler in the amusement park and Raven agrees that it sounds like fun. Cut to them hanging on the Wind Tickler and Raven panicking "This is not fun! This is not fun!"
* ''Series/{{Reba}}''
** In an episode, Reba's son-in-law becomes a driver in a pizza joint while having no vehicle of his own, so he requests Reba to drive him for deliveries. Reba refuses and refuses...and cut! In the next, scene she ''is'' driving her son-in-law for deliveries, albeit reluctantly.
** In an earlier episode, her ex-husband begs her to come with him to help him spread his father's ashes on a golf course. She declares, "Uh-uh! Those [[PuppyDogEyes puppy-dog eyes]] aren't gonna work on me anymore!" Cut to the golf course, where she stands next to him holding a rake.
* ''Series/RedDwarf'' uses this in the TyrantTakesTheHelm episode when [[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonIIQueeg Queeg]] forces everyone to work in order to get food.
-->'''Queeg:''' From now on, '''everybody works.'''\\
'''Cat:''' Nuh-uh, not this kitty!\\
''(Cut to Lister and The Cat scrubbing floors)''
** A later episode, [[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonXIISkipper "Skipper"]], effectively uses this trope as a space-time phenomenon: the crew encounter an anomaly that affects the fabric of the universe, meaning that every time somebody makes a decision, the ''opposite'' of that decision immediately happens; so when the Cat refuses to make Lister a coffee, it immediately jumps to Cat offering Lister the coffee he's just made (Lister then proceeds to manipulate Cat into getting him biscuits, making him breakfast, tidying his bunk and polishing his boots), when Rimmer and Kryten decide not to warn the others about the anomaly it immediately jumps to Kryten making an announcement asking them to join them at once, and when Cat decides to take the lift he's immediately teleported to the stairs.

'''Sarah Jane:''' I think I can manage.\\
''[cut to Clyde reading a text message from Luke]''\\
'''Clyde:''' "Mum just set the kitchen on fire again."
* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'': In the episode "My Porcelain God", the Janitor accuses J.D. of telling people about the roof toilet (after he had asked him not to earlier in the episode). J.D. responds, "first of all, why would I tell anyone? And secondly, no one has epiphanies on the john!" Cut to Dr. Cox having an epiphany on the roof toilet, presumably giving him the idea to put a patient in Dr. Kelso's office when there are no beds elsewhere.
** In one episode, Elliot talks about how great [[RomanticFalseLead her fiancee Keith]] is, saying he would walk through fire for her. A Gilligan Cut shows the Janitor trying to convince Keith to ''{{literal|Metaphor}}ly'' walk through fire to prove the his love for Elliot, though Keith refuses to.
** When Eliot and Carla are discussing the problems they each have with JD and Turk respectively, Carla wonders if Turk and JD could help each other. Eliot replies that they are guys, who don't talk about their feelings. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7hjdC8-jbw Cue Guy Love song.]]
** PlayedForDrama in one episode where Dr. Kelso works on managing the budget and tries to figure out who to fire to bring it in line. Dr. Cox is disgusted to hear him say that and offers to work the budget himself.
--->'''Cox:''' I won't even have to fire somebody.\\
''[cut]''\\
'''Cox:''' ''[regretfully]'' I have to fire somebody.
* Done in reverse order in the BackToFront ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' episode "The Betrayal":
-->'''FDR:''' Are--are you dense? I said I wanted you to drop dead. Now... drop dead!\\
''[slams the door in Kramer's face]''\\
'''Kramer:''' I knew it... Stupid Jerry...\\
''[cut to Jerry's apartment, ten minutes earlier]''\\
'''Jerry:''' Kramer, I know what I'm talking about. There's no way FDR wants you to drop dead.
* In ''Series/{{Selfie}}'', the episode "Untag My Heart", Henry is grilling Eliza on her "relationship" with coworker Freddy. There is a direct cut revealing Eliza's lies. "Do you two ever make advance plans" "Kind of" *Cut to Eliza in bed receiving a text of 'Sup?' from Freddie. She jumps out of bed to go meet him.* "Have you and Freddy ever been on an actual date?" *Cut to Eliza dancing at a club when she gets another "Sup?" text from Freddy. She rushes out of the club* "Eliza, have you and Freddy ever even been outside together?" "For the most part" *Cut to making out in his apartment* "Does his wraparound terrace count?"
* In the US version of ''Series/{{Shameless}}'', Sheila gets upset when Frank asks her to make some phone calls for him without asking questions ([[ItMakesSenseInContext it makes sense in context]]). To make it right and get his way, Frank offers to disguise himself any way she likes, and there would be no safe word. Cut to Sheila happily making the phone calls after that.
* In one episode of ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'', Sherlock is testifying in court against Moriarty, and launches into his typical lightning-fast deductions, stepping on the toes of almost everyone in the room. The judge finally calls him out on it, saying "Do you think you could go for just a few minutes WITHOUT SHOWING OFF?!" Sherlock opens his mouth to reply, and... the scene cuts to him being led into a cell.
* From an episode of ''Series/SledgeHammer'', when it's suggested that the police hold a fund-raising telethon:
-->'''Captain Trunk:''' That is the most preposterous thing that I have ever heard! We will have a telethon over my dead body!\\
''[cut to Trunk singing "[[StandardSnippet Hava Nagila]]" at the telethon]''
* In the ''Series/SpartacusBloodAndSand'' episode "The Thing in the Pit", Spartacus is condemned to fight in the pits, as is Kerza.
-->'''Kerza:''' I'm not dying in the pits. I'll show these cunts. My cock was forged in Vulcan's flames! I will [[PunctuatedForEmphasis fuck! Them! All!!]]\\
''[cut to Kerza in the Pit, getting beaten to death]''
* ''Series/StargateSG1'': [[Recap/StargateSG1S4E6WindowOfOpportunity "Window of Opportunity"]] has Jack insist to the team that he and Teal'c are caught in a GroundhogDayLoop. He says he doesn't know what's going on...

''[Sam and Gen. Hammond share incredulous looks, then cut to Jack sitting in sickbay with Dr. Fraiser examining him]''
* In the ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode "Visionary":
-->'''Sisko:''' And Major, when you're with the Romulans, try to be... diplomatic.\\
'''Kira:''' [[FieryRedhead I'm]] [[BlatantLies always]] [[HotBlooded diplomatic!]]\\
''[cut to Major Kira meeting with Romulans]''\\
'''Kira:''' That is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard and I resent the implication!
** In "Take Me Out to the Holosuite," Sisko has assembled his own baseball team to take on his Academy rival, Solok. When Cassidy asks him why he's taking it so seriously, he tells her about how Solok has spent his life flaunting his own superiority, and then makes her promise not to tell the team. One scene transition later, she's told the team everything.
** A rare non-comedic example appears in "Improbable Cause". After an assassin who tried to kill Garak is himself assassinated, Odo deduces that the Romulans may be responsible. Sisko replies that he doubts the Romulans would be forthcoming in admitting such a connection. Cut to subspace communication of a Romulan operative freely admitting that they did indeed execute the assassin.
* Played with, perhaps unintentionally, in the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "Spectre of the Gun": the group decide they'll wait right here until 5:00, when they're scheduled for the shootout at the OK Corral (ItMakesSenseInContext), but are instantly teleported there.
* From ''Series/{{Supernatural}} 6''.07 "Family Matters", as Dean wants to get involved in the hunt on the Alpha Vampire:
-->'''Dean:''' ''[to Samuel]'' Big Daddy bloodsucker? I ain't gonna miss that. But this is your deal, I get it. I'll follow your lead. I trust you.\\
'''Dean:''' ''[outside]'' I don't trust him.
** In 7.01, when Dean has been caught breaking into a house:
--->'''Dr. Weiss:''' Don't move.\\
'''Dean:''' Look, I don't want to hurt you.\\
'''Dr. Weiss:''' ''[after a pause]'' I'm the one holding a shotgun, son.\\
'''Dean:''' Yeah, I realize that.
** Cut to Sam and Bobby coming in to find the doctor and his wife gagged and tied to chairs.
--->'''Dean:''' Sam, Bobby, meet Dr. and Mrs. Weiss.

* ''Series/{{Taxi}}''. A Gilligan Cut without the cut: the gang is helping Jim out at his new bar. Jim hears that Alex plays piano and loudly introduces him as a performer. Alex adamantly states that he won't play -- a gorgeous woman sidles up to him and purrs "I'd ''love'' to hear 'Ebb Tide'." Alex promptly launches into "Ebb Tide".
* One episode of ''Series/TeenWolf'' starts with Jackson and Lydia sitting in Lydia's car outside a video rental store, Jackson trying and failing to convince Lydia to watch ''Film/{{Hoosiers}}''. Finally, he gets frustrated with her complete dismissal of his opinion, and this happens:

''[cut to Jackson inside the store]''\\
'''Jackson:''' Can somebody help me find ''Film/TheNotebook''?
* In the Season 8 premiere of ''Series/That70sShow'', Kitty is recounting recent events on a tape to send to Eric. One flashback has the kids hanging out on the water tower with [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute their new pal Charlie]]. [[spoiler:Charlie falls off, but Kelso remarks that [[RunningGag none of them ever got seriously hurt from falling off the water tower]]. Cut back to Kitty, [[BlackComedyBurst who says that the water tower was renamed]] [[DroppedABridgeOnHim in Charlie's memory]].]]
* A recurring bit in ''Series/ThatMitchellAndWebbLook'' is "Get Me Hennimore!", an AffectionateParody of [[TheSeventies seventies sitcoms]], every sketch beginning with Hennimore's boss setting up an obvious opportunity for Hennimore to botch (such as showing a recovering alcoholic a set of antique golf clubs with an identical-looking novelty liquor cabinet nearby) and getting his assurance that he'll get it right this time, at which point the sketch immediately cuts to the "end of the episode," with the boss walking in on the extremely predictable disaster.
** Doubly subverted with the final sketch, where a meeting with Russian diplomats involving state secrets goes fine... until [[NukeEm the nuke goes off]].
* ''Series/TheThundermans'' has an episode where Hank & Barb agree to let Chloe come back to sleep with them after fear of a monster in her own room. After Max and Nora say that they enjoy sleeping together, Hank says "Why do we need a five bedroom house? Let's all just sleep in the same room!" Cut to all five family members sharing a bed and Hank saying "I was kidding!"
* ''Series/TopGearUK''
** In series 5, episode 2, there are two in rapid succession.

''[cut across the studio to Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond]''\\
'''Jeremy Clarkson:''' I have absolutely no idea...\\
''[pause]''\\
'''Jeremy Clarkson:''' Uh, anyway... Ferrari! A couple of years ago, they introduced this amazing new hyper car called the F60, and we've been trying ever since to get hold of one.\\
''[assorted talk about the trouble they had, getting their hands on one to drive]''\\
'''Jeremy Clarkson:''' And then, out of the blue, Nick Mason, who's the drummer with Music/PinkFloyd, telephoned to say that he's got an F60 which we could borrow, if we promised to plug his new book. Well, we aren't really allowed to plug stuff on ''Top Gear'', but I said to him, "Look, if we can have your F60, I'll slide a couple of references in, and I don't think any of the bigwigs'll notice...\\
''[cut to segment backed by the Pink Floyd track "Astronomy Domine"]''
** It should be noted the rest of the segment was packed full of Pink Floyd tracks, as well as numerous "The only thing as awesome as this car is this book I've been reading" lines.
** From the Vietnam episode:
--->''[Hammond and May are sitting comfortably in a bar, drinking]''\\
'''Hammond:''' Do you think he's enjoying his first biking experience?\\
''[cut to Clarkson, riding a beat-up Vespa, decked out with a plethora of mirrors, most of which are reflecting the headlight directly into his eyes]''\\
'''Clarkson:''' I AM THE MOST MISERABLE HUMAN BEING ALIVE!!
** From the same episode:
--->'''Clarkson:''' ''[voiceover]'' Still, at least I'd been assured it wouldn't rain.\\
''[fast cut to Clarkson, Hammond, and May riding their motorbikes in a teeming Vietnamese monsoon]''\\
'''Clarkson:''' Name an upside to this, mate! ''Name ONE upside!''\\
'''May:''' Well, you're not hot anymore, are you?

''[cut to Hammond and May driving away at top speed]''
** From series 16, episode 3, where they go to Albania:
--->'''Clarkson:''' ''[after reading a letter requesting a car test for the Albanian Mafia]'' This caused one hell of a row in the office. The producers said, "We should go out to Albania and do the test," and we said, "No! We can't be seen to be helping the Mafia!" We were ''adamant''. We said, "this is our line in the sand. We will, not, go."\\
''[cut to ferry from Corfu to Albania]''

* ''Series/TheWestWing'': Josh has made a political deal that helps the White House but screws over Mandy, his old girlfriend:
-->'''Mandy:''' You know what the worst part about this is?\\
'''Lloyd Russell:''' Well, I think you dinged up your suspension pretty good.\\
'''Mandy:''' No, Lloyd, it's the party they're having, right now, in the West Wing, at my expense.\\
'''Russell:''' They're not having a party in the West Wing.\\
'''Mandy:''' I've worked with these people for two and a half years. They like to win and they like to gloat.\\
'''Russell:''' These people are professionals. A blow was struck against party unity today. No one is going to be gloating.\\
''[scene cut to Josh's office]''\\
'''Josh:''' Victory is mine, victory is mine. Great day in the morning, people, victory is mine!\\
''[everyone applauds as Josh dances and pounds on his chest]''
** Series/TheWestWing also had a variation with no actual cut. For example, when Joey is first introduced she repeatedly tells Josh she wants to meet the President, Josh tells her that absolutely will not happen, then the President walks in and introduces himself to Joey.
* ''Series/{{Wings}}''
** In the episode "Death Becomes Him", Joe and Brian accidentally fly the wrong corpse in for a funeral. Brian suggests that Joe masquerade as the dead man until they have time to switch the bodies.
--->'''Brian:''' Get in the box, Joe.\\
'''Joe:''' No! There is no way I am getting in that box.\\
''[cut to Joe in the casket at the funeral]''\\
'''Joe:''' ''[thinking]'' I can't believe I got in the box!
** Subverted in the episode "I've Got a Secret". Alex confides to Helen and Antonio that she once posed in Magazine/{{Playboy}}. When Joe and Brian discover that Antonio knows a secret about Alex, they begin to badger him.
--->'''Joe:''' Come on. Tell us what you know.\\
'''Antonio:''' I can't. I won't. There is no way you're ever getting this out of me.\\
''[cut to Lowell walking into the office later that day with a large stack of magazines]''\\
'''Lowell''' Okay, this is the last of them. Every Magazine/{{Playboy}} from '85 to '89.
** However, the cut ends up being deceptive, as it was not Antonio who blabbed, but Helen.
* From ''Series/TheWorstWitch'' when Mildred is having trouble with her part in the broomstick tableau:
-->'''Maud:''' It'll be fine, you'll see. Everything will go click.\\
''[cut to Mildred crashing into the bins on her broomstick]''\\
'''Mildred:''' You call that "going click"?

[[folder:Y]]
* ''Series/YesPrimeMinister'' does this in the episode "One of Us":

'''Humphrey:''' ''[indignant]'' Of course not, Prime Minister, I wouldn't dream of it.\\
''[cut to a visibly-distraught Humphrey taking a sip of wine]''\\
'''Humphrey:''' So what do you think I should do, Arnold?
* Partly PlayedForDrama in ''Series/YoureTheWorst'':

'''Jimmy''': What a joke!\\
''[cut to a {{montage}} of everyone Jimmy and Gretchen interacted with during the episode, about to have their hearts broken/lives ruined]''

* A very early episode of ''Series/Zoey101'' had this, when Zoey is telling Chase about how living with Quinn is giving her a hard time:
-->'''Chase:''' You can't just look a girl in the face and say, "I don't want to live with you anymore."\\
''[cut to Quinn's room where she is looking at Zoey]''\\
'''Quinn:''' Zoey, I don't want to live with you anymore.
