* Used twice in the TV adaptation of ''Series/{{Goosebumps}}''' "The Haunted Mask," both with a ringing phone -- the first time, the mask shop owner is called away, allowing Carly-Beth to explore the forbidden section of the mask shop where she finds the haunted mask.

Example: A kid wanders into an antiques store, and the owner tells him not to touch anything. Suddenly, the phone rings. When the owner leaves to answer it, the kid touches something and it breaks. Cue plot. The Deus ex Scuse Me in this scene is the off-screen phone call-- it draws the owner out of the scene so the kid can break the antique.

* In ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'', if Madison Paige is knocked out by [[BackalleyDoctor Dr. Adrian Baker]] during her investigation of him, she will wake up tied to an operating table in Baker's basement by Baker who intends to use those tools to torture her to death. Before he can do so, he's distracted by a persistent salesman trying to sell Bibles, giving [[PlayerCharacter Madison]] ample time to escape her bindings. This distraction happens three separate times; if Madison doesn't escape the third time, Baker kills the salesman offscreen and then returns to ensure she dies.
