An advertising technique that has a series of people repeat the same or similar line over and over again. The last person to say the line will often emphasize it or whisper it. Sometimes, to prevent repetition, one person will simply— —finish a line someone else started. Letting you —assume they were going to say the same thing. There is also the occasional "testimonial chorus" where multiple people saying the same thing are tracked into a simultaneous mix. Is not caused by an actual Hive Mind (although it can sometimes give this effect). |

Happens in one episode of Grimm when a flash mob is interviewed about the death of a woman which occurred the same time and place as the flash mob. Nick even asks the last suspect why it sounds like there was an echo when every suspect repeats the same words to him. It makes sense because the flash mob are all Mellifer, bee-like wesen. | |

The opening of Castle used to subvert this, with the characters saying their names over and over. | |

This was a common trope in IT/Technology advertising during the boom of the 1990s. The commercial would show stereotypes around the world completing one long pitch using Dilbert-esque technobabble. ([African tribesman] "TCG can connect you..." [Japanese businessman] "...to the new global paradigm..." [Italian in Piazza] "...of information.") One example featured a grating repetition of the word "you" between pitches. ("You want to enter the digital age, but you..." "...you don't know how to connect to the global marketplace, so you...") The company running the ad was, of course, UUNET. | |

Supernatural's Herpexia ad is a parody. (There was a YouTube video, but it's been pulled.) | |

Bowling for Columbine does this, e.g. to show how crimes by black suspects are overreported on TV. | |

Saturday Night Live did a parody where a hypnotist's Broadway show was given the following rave by everyone, spoken in a Creepy Monotone: "I laughed, I cried, it was much better than Cats. I'm going to see it again and again." | |
