* ''Fanfic/ToForgetIsUnforgivable'':
** Tokoyami explains to Katsuki everything he knows about Cursed Energy and Jujutsu Sorcerers [[ExpositionCut off-screen]], so when Gojo goes to explain to him in the next fic, Katsuki cuts him off and tells him he knows already.
** Other Jujutsu sorcerers tell everything to Katsuki's parents off-screen so Katsuki doesn't have to explain why he needs to trasfer schools by himself.

** Scrooge himself has fallen prey to this a few times. He likes starting off an adventure with a big dramatic speech explaining the destination. Typically, the kids already know this information (the trips to get there last several hours, which is plenty of time for them to figure out what they didn't already know beforehand), so by the time they get there, they're ready to start exploring without Scrooge's "context." Most notably in "Escape To/From Atlantis!" where they cut off his explanation about Atlantis's sinking to ask which window to look out of, leaving Scrooge grumbling.

* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', when [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2012-06-18 Nanase goes to Tedd for help with her magically-growing hair]], he begins the same step-by-step process for prepping a watch as he did with Sarah (which depends on the subject not knowing what it is until stage 3, for control purposes), only for her to immediately say "Is that a magic watch that will make my hair short?" When she asks him ''how'' he can make magic watches, he replies "Because science, whatever. I'm done expositing. You've taken the joy out of it."

However, there are several times across the series when it's Lester the one who explains the solution to that particular problem. Subverted in that Beakman doesn't get annoyed himself but asks Lester how he knew about the solution.

* In the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', Sokka cuts off Katara's exposition of what waterbending means. She's annoyed less because he did it, and more because he called her weird in the process.
* In ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'', Season 4 "[[Recap/BobsBurgerS4E6PurpleRainUnion Purple Rain-Union]]", after Linda has a nervous breakdown and flees from her high school reunion when her old high school band isn't going her way, Jen the babysitter gives her a RousingSpeech about not worrying about what people will think and do what you love, which gives Linda the courage to return to her reunion. When Linda returns, Bob, who has a [[RiseOfZitboy huge pimple on his nose]], was about to give Linda his own inspirational speech similar to Jen about his worries about his pimple but he was brave to be seen in public and still had fun, but Linda cuts him off and tells him Jen already gave her the inspirational speech and she's fine. Bob didn't mind and he went back to hang out with his new friends, thanks to his pimple.

'''Briar:''' ''(annoyed)'' Uh, yep. That's all correct.
** Also happens in "From the Confidential Casefiles of Agent 22!". In a flashback, Ludwig Von Drake is trying to brief SHUSH Agent 22 (the future Mrs. Beakley) on her mission. To his annoyance, Agent 22 has already been reading the casefile, and interrupts him every time he speaks to give the exact same exposition from it. Von Drake's exposition only goes uninterrupted when he introduces Scrooge [=McDuck=] as Agent 22's mission partner.
