Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A well written story tries to avoid just dumping all the relevant information on the audience's lap. Whether it be The Hero piecing together the villain's plot, each episode revealing a little more about The 'Verse in which the work's set or the cast and their backstories being introduced one at a time. Some information is best just leaked rather than poured. After a while, however, new characters might be introduced; maybe the cast need to welcome the Sixth Ranger, or explain themselves to a Reasonable Authority Figure or reporter. That's where this trope comes in handy; rather than just repeating everything that's been said to the audience the characters begin explaining and then the action cuts to when they've just finished. Stock Phrases that indicate that this trope's about to appear include; Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) |

Brother Bear has a variant where one of the movie's songs plays over top of most of Kenai's story of what happened to Koda's mother. Not only does the audience already know, showing Kenai explained it exactly might have robbed some of the emotional impact. | |

My Little Pony: My Little Pony 'n Friends: In "The Quest Of The Princess Ponies, Part 3", Megan launches into a lengthy explanation of the episode's events up to that point to get the Moochick caught up. The episode then cuts to following the other group of heroes shortly after she starts, and comes back to her thread of the story when she's just finished expositing. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "Mare in the Moon", Spike sets into a long introduction of himself that starts with "Well, it all started when I was a cute little purple and green egg..." and cuts to several hours later, at sundown, with "and that's the story of my entire life!" |

In The Grand Duke, when Randolph and Ludwig announce their intention to have a Statutory Duel, the Notary says "verbum sat"meaning short form for a Latin phrase translating to "A word to the wise is sufficient" and meaning "wise men don't require lengthy explanations" to skip over repetitive explanation, because the audience has already had the concept of a Statutory Duel explained to them. | |

My Name Is Earl: In a lot of episodes, Earl explaining his List and wanting to right his past wrongs is skipped over via Earl's narration, as an abridged version is already given through the show's Expository Theme Tune. | |

On an episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Dr. Bashir is trapped in a Journey to the Center of the Mind for a while. When he wakes up he tells the rest of the cast "You won't believe where I've been." And the episode cuts to various characters speaking to him about his dream. | |

Steven Universe: "When it Rains" ends with Peridot about to explain the details of The Cluster to the rest of the Crystal Gems, having already decided to trust Steven enough to tell him. In "Made of Honor", Steven decides to free Bismuth. When she reforms, she is horrified to learn about all the former Crystal Gem who have become Corrupted after she frees one of the bubbled ones. Assuming that this was the work of Pink Diamond, she demands to know why Rose didn't stop her— to which Steven replies that it was because Pink and Rose were the same person. Cut to one explanation later, where Steven has told her everything she missed out on. |

The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius: "Send in the Clones" has everyone asking Jimmy why they are all victims of something. Jimmy starts with "I Can Explain". however, the audience has already seen everything, so we get a brief clip of "4 hours later" and cut back to Jimmy wrapping up the story with "...and that's how it all happened". | |

Rick Riordan's novels have repeatedly used this trope. A character will have a vision that will show them something far away. After the character wakes up, they tell their friends on what they learned. But true to this trope, the story will skip over the rehash. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Riordan outdid himself during The Heroes of Olympus series, where even the critics notice his overuse in the 1st book (The Lost Hero). | |

In The Legend of Total Drama Island, The Storyteller regularly skips over repetitive content with the line, "But nothing would be gained by repeating it here."note Taken from the Mardrus & Mathers translation of The Thousand and One Nights. | |

In the Mardrus & Mathers translation of The Thousand and One Nights, Shahrazad commonly skips over repetitive content by saying, "but nothing would be gained by repeating it here."note In some other translations, as well as the original, Shahrazad instead repeats in full all the repetitive content because she does, in fact have something to gain—she's trying to fill time so her husband won't execute her. | |

Family Guy: Spoofed in an episode where Peter comes up with a plan to stop students from using drugs at the Quahog high school. Peter is seen in the principal's office saying, "... and that's the plan." The principal points out that Peter never actually gave a plan but rather walked into his office and said this line. | |
