* In the song [[https://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/shelovesme/soundswhileselling.htm "Sounds While Selling"]] from ''Theatre/SheLovesMe'', overlapping conversations between the sales assitants and their customers result in seeming non-sequiturs. For instance:

* ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}'' uses this repeatedly, especially at scene changes from the [[ShowWithinAShow comic-within-a-comic]] Tales of the Black Freighter to the main plot-- for example, from the newsstand owner talking about how newsvendors are tough survivors, to a shipwreck survivor standing on a beach crying. Or from Nite Owl saying "It'll be like coming home," to the shipwrecked man finally arriving on the mainland. "I could be no more than twenty miles from Davidstown. I was home."

* ''Film/AustinPowers'':
** In ''The Spy Who Shagged Me'', two {{Hurricane of Euphemism|s}} {{Overly Long Gag}}s cover a succession of people being distracted by Dr. Evil's rocket, and being [[CurseCutShort cut off just before they can remark]] that it looks like a giant-- Johnson!
** They do the same gag in ''Goldmember'' with the satellite that looks like a pair of big-- Bazookas? And so on.

* At the very beginning of ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Cars}} Cars 2]]'', Finn [=McMissile's=] interrupted dialogue while escaping the Lemons' oil rig is suddenly finished by Mater in Radiator Springs.
* A non-verbal example in ''Film/LetterNeverSent'', a movie about four geologists searching for diamond deposits deep in the Siberian forests. Tanya and Sergei are digging in the trench when he seems to lose his senses, and approaches her menacingly as if to rape her. A clearly frightened Tanya says "Sergei, you're tired", and he snaps out of it and leaves the trench. The next shot shows Tanya sobbing in the trench, seemingly frightened by her experience--but in fact she is sobbing from joy and overwhelming emotion, as she has just found the diamonds.
* ''Film/AnAmericanWerewolfInLondon'' has a scene where a man, Sean, finds his friend Harry Berman's [[DeadHandShot severed hand]]. As he prepares to scream, it suddenly cuts to Dr. Hirsch's phone ringing loudly, so that appears as if Sean's scream is Hirsch's phone ringing.
* In ''Film/JeepersCreepers2'', Jack Sr. examines the Creeper's knife closely, and the camera focuses in on the scrimshawed etching on one side, depicting a blazing sun. There's an immediate transition to the broken-down school bus, and a bunch of young athletes lying on its roof basking ''in'' the sun.
In a scene from Little Rascals while the girls have a slumber party and the boys are in the treehouse it cuts to both the girls and boys having conversation at different times.
