Alice and Bob are fighting. Carol enters with a message for Alice, who calmly carries on a conversation just as if Bob weren't trying to kill her. Usually used to demonstrate just how much better Alice is than Bob, but if she kills Bob without taking notice, it can also show disregard for life. Sub-Trope of Excuse Me While I Multitask. Related to Dissonant Serenity. For a "make love, not war" version, see Coitus Uninterruptus. Compare Kinda Busy Here, when the messenger is on a phone. |

In The Adventures of Dr. McNinja, Dr. McNinja does a variation of this at one point; the Doc calls Gordito and the clone of Ben Franklin on his cellphone while fighting ninjas, and at one point one of the ninjas grabs the phone from him. | |

Under Siege: The hero is in a ferocious firefight with the villains when he gets a satphone call. He takes the call while blasting the baddies. This example does use the trope to add humour to the proceedings by having Ryback's Side Kick initially take the call as though she were a bad PA: "Is Ryback there?" "I'm sorry he's in a gun fight right now. I'll have to take a message." | |

Used in the first Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan game in the Salaryman stage. Our hero receives a phone call in the midst of battle with a giant mouse. Failing to perform well here actually means he gets his ass kicked, while passing this portion plays the trope straight. | |

Used brilliantly in Grosse Pointe Blank, with John Cusack blasting a houseful of assassins to death one by one, while conversationally exploring the meaning of his own existence and declaring his love for Minnie Driver's character. | |

In Wayne's World 2, Wayne takes a phone call in the middle of his fight with Jeff Wong, without any break in the Kung-Foley sound effects or the Hong Kong Dub. | |

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in the first part of season 3's finale, Buffy hands Giles a newspaper article about a murder while he's practicing fencing with Wesley. Giles effortlessly parries all of Wesley's advances with one hand and almost no attention. | |

Destroy the Godmodder: All of the posters. Not only can people respond to others while taking on massive fights, but they can also charge up attacks and summons and direct troops at the same time. Partially averted with the revised ruleset introduced in Defeat the Godmodder, in which charging summons or attacks costs Battlefield actions. Roleplaying and commanding entities are still free actions, though. |
