A Non Sequitur (Latin for "it does not follow") in fiction is an event or line of dialogue which comes out of nowhere and -- [[SelfDemonstratingArticle PUPPIES!]] Ahem... and bears no relevance to the subject at hand. It is a staple of surrealism and humor, and often establishes a character as TheDitz or a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}. [[SelfDemonstratingArticle I like bananas anyways]].

* About 50 percent of everything Ed says from ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' says is a non sequitur. Often, when he's asked a question, his response is "buttered toast" or "gravy" and he randomly shouts "I love chickens" even when there aren't any chickens present.

* ''Fanfic/OversaturatedWorld'': ''Group Preciptation'': "Launch Error, by FoME": An annoyed Scootaloo approaches Sunset, who prepares to hear her complaint and gets "I want to file a bug report." in response, Sunset responding with a blink and "What?" of confusion, leading to further explanation that makes sense of the out-of-place statement, since it's just taking a different look at things. The bug report is because [[spoiler:Sunset was responsible for configuring the world's magic system, and that's what Scootaloo has a problem with]].

-->Quietly as he could, he unslung the much-loved flintlock longrifle his great-grandfather had fought with in the Revolution and loaded it, tearing the cartridge open and pouring the powder down, followed by the paper and the bullet with the ramrod. Then he added the priming powder to the pan, which was when the dinosaur dropped out of the oak tree.[[note]]The dinosaur being Brokosh's Gorn officer Ila'kshath.[[/note]]\\
