A gag in which a character is reading something aloud, and accidentally cuts themself. (Beat.) ...off in the middle of a sentence by stopping too early. The truncated sentence is still grammatical, so it sounds like they're saying something complete. (Another beat.) ...ly different from what they meant, and it takes a moment for the audience and the other characters to catch up with the new information and parse the sentence correctly. This usually results from trying to read from cue cards, note cards or a screen that doesn't scroll quickly enough. A similar catch-up effect can occur if an unprepared character encounters a garden path sentence or a crash blossom headline. Sometimes a part of Bad "Bad Acting". Averting this is why a lot of instructions begin with a direction to fully read all instructions before starting. Compare Bait-and-Switch Comment, Reading the Stage Directions Out Loud, Stopped Reading Too Soon, and Telegraph Gag STOP. |

The Play That Goes Wrong: When Annie gets shoved on to take Sandra's place as the Femme Fatale, she is reading her lines from the script, leading to such readings as: Peter Pan Goes Wrong: During the Marooner's Rock scene, Dennis as Mr. Smee does not have his headset and has to read his lines from cue cards. Due to being written in a hurry, they break in some unfortunate places: Because of this, the stage crew in A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong tried another approach: writing Dennis' lines on various props and set pieces. Hilarity ensues when some of the words are mirrored or on the bottom of objects. |

Ranma ½: This is the ultimate cause of Ranma's cat phobia. His father read about a training method where you tie fish sausages around the trainee and throw them in a pit full of hungry cats; if he had finished reading before trying it out on his son he'd have found that the book was using this as an example of a method only a complete idiot would use. | |

In Rocko's Modern Life episode "Nothin' To Sneeze At", Bev accidentally gets a new nose, but then ends up catching a disease and needed to be taken back to the hospital. Dr. Hutchinson then informed a nervously waiting Ed that they weren't able to save her, causing him to experience Color Failure. Then Hutch looks back over the report and realizes she meant to say they couldn't save Bev's nose. | |

The Army Game: Ted Lune, as Pvt. Len Bone, would often read out a letter from his mother. The letter relied heavily on all different kinds of reading-out-loud tropes, and invariably finished with an inversion of this particular one; for example, "Mrs Jones next door has bought six pigs. She keeps them in the back yard and there's an awful smell from your loving mother." This was based on a popular bit from his stand-up routines (see Radio below). | |

In the Forgotten Realms, the Cult of the Dragon was formed because its founder, Sammaster, misread a translation of an ancient prophesy as: "None shall remain, but the dead dragons shall rule the world entire." Correctly punctuated, it should read: "None shall remain but the dead; dragons shall rule the world entire." As a result of this simple flub (and Sammaster's madness and delusions of godhood), the cultists began worshipping evil dragons, creating dracoliches, and generally causing trouble for everybody. | |

Musical variation: starting to play a well-known phrase of music (dun dun dun...) and then turning the page to get the rest of it (''DUUUUUUUNNN!'). Igudesman & Joo do it here, and Victor Borge displays a variant here. | |

In Yes, Minister, politician Jim Hacker is reading a speech, in his usual leaden uninspired way, with heavy reliance on a script. Trying to convey that Britain is a full and enthusiastic member of the European Union, he gets to the bottom of the page and reads as far as "Our French....." There is then a leaden pause as he turns the page and picks up with "....friends'' as if the implied continuation had never even occurred to him as a possibility. note in the series, Hacker's mistrust, suspicion and downright Francophobia is a Running Gag. | |

A version of this trope caused confusion for Magic: The Gathering players with the card Book Burning. The first line reads "Unless a player has Book Burning", which could be a clause in itself, leading some players to insert a nonexistent comma between that and the other half of the clause "deal 6 damage to him or her,". This made some people believe the card damaged a player and did the other clause (put the top 6 cards of their deck into their graveyard) unless they could produce a copy of Book Burning, instead of its actual effect of "milling" 6 unless someone takes 6 damage. The official wording changed quickly, but since that version of the card is the only one that was ever printed... | |

Saturday Night Live: Recurring Character Tim Calhoun, a senator who runs for president. He's got his speeches on index cards but for some reason only part of a sentence is on a given card. For example (during the Mark Foley sex scandal, where Foley had sent sexually explicit text messages to underage congressional pages): During Weekend Updates in the Colin Jose/Michael Che era, they've had "Supercentenarian Mort Fallen" (Mikey Day) on as a guest. He reads what sounds like upbeat news about what his cohorts are up to, only to turn it into bad news, usually about the person's death. |

Doctor Who: The first Cybermen, as seen in "The Tenth Planet", invoked this with their unnatural, computer-like parodies of human speech. In practice, this caused a lot of headaches for the actors, who would mistake one of those brief pauses for the end of the Cyberman's line and begin their own lines... and then the Cyberman would finally finish his line! Which is probably what would happen if you yourself met something that sounded like that. "The Impossible Planet" plays this for laughs: |

How I Met Your Mother: In one episode, Ted's Girl of the Week has a habit of pausing to take a sip of her drink at the most inappropriate point in a sentence. By the second or third time, it's hard to believe she's not doing it on purpose just to mess with him. Each time she pauses, a big labelled suitcase appears behind her in Ted's imagination, representing her "baggage", disappearing after she finishes the sentence. The third time the label reads "Ted, wait for her to finish." In another episode, Marshall tries stand-up comedy, and Ted and Barney lie to him about how good he was: |

Key & Peele's "East/West Collegiate Bowl" skits mimic American football player introductions where the player states his name and what college they played at. Most of the humor is on the absurd names of the players, but a couple introduce their college with a manner that changes the whole meaning with a pause: Torque (Construction Noise) Lewith: Nevada State...Penitentiary. Morse Code (said out in Morse Code): Army.../Navy Surplus Store. |

Babylon 5: In "The Coming of Shadows", the Centauri Emperor announces his plans for a peace treaty with the Narns, just after his ambassador Londo Mollari has made a deal with the Shadows to attack a Narn outpost. When Londo sees Narn ambassador G'Kar approaching he naturally fears the worst, especially when G'Kar says "Mollari! I'm going to get you..." And then G'Kar finishes the sentence: "...a drink!", revealing that he hasn't learned of the attack yet. Of course, this doesn't exactly make Londo feel any better about the situation. In "Shadow Dancing", Delenn describes Minbari courting rituals to Sheridan. If the man presses his case too far over the woman's objections, she explains, she can "leave when he falls asleep, file a complaint with the Elders, even cut off his..." Sheridan looks horrified as Delenn stumbles a moment trying to find the right word, until she continues, "...access to her family". |
