* Creator/AbbottAndCostello liked this gag, using it in ''Abbott and Costello In Hollywood'', ''Africa Screams'' and ''Abbott and Costello Join the Foreign Legion'', and possibly others. In these films, Abbott mistakenly believes Costello has drowned, been eaten by a lion, and been blown up, respectively. As he's mourning--wishing he'd been nicer to Lou--Lou himself shows up and commiserates with him. When Bud finally realizes that it's Lou crying on his shoulder, he immediately reverts back to his old self and [[AngerBornOfWorry slaps Lou]].

An extension of NotNowKiddo, and ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated. Often overlaps with DelayedReaction. Sometimes the result of FakingTheDead, especially if the ones in mourning were unaware that the person being mourned over was faking, or a MistakenDeathConfirmation. Often occurs [[AttendingYourOwnFuneral at the "dead man's" own funeral]], or during a PrematureEulogy. Also compare StealthHiBye, where the characters are simply unaware of the other character's presence whether or not they are (believed) dead. Usually leads to a TearDryer moment.
