You've probably seen it. A character says, "I know what we can do!" or some variation. Cut to "we" doing the thing as the character says what it is we're doing, not in voiceover, but while there. Sort of an aversion of the Unspoken Plan Guarantee: We hear the plan described while it's happening, so as to avoid telling the audience what's going on "in advance". Compare with Answer Cut and Gilligan Cut. |

Narbonic used this trope for a minor cliffhangar in the vaguely Steampunk-themed Alternate Continuity of the Sunday strips. Helen is rather dejectedly contemplating the fact that her attempt to reanimate a corpse has instead resulted in her discovering Anti-Gravity, which wasn't really what she had in mind (not to mention the fact they're going to have to somehow get the dead body down from the ceiling before it goes manky) when Mr Davenport the statistician has a minor "Eureka!" Moment. The last line of dialogue in the strip is him saying: | |

Sonic Boom: In the episode Cow Bot, while Sonic, Tails and Eggman are waiting for Cow Bot to (very slowly) get to the fortress, Sonic gives Coconut Hurl another shot, this time with Sonic trying to throw Eggman. Sadly, Eggman is too heavy. Later, Eggman says that he has an idea. The scene cuts to Sonic using a catapult to launch Eggman, and that causes Sonic to get a new record in Coconut Hurl. In the Episode Battle of the Boy Bands... Given a call back later in that same episode, after moving from Amy's house to Tails' workshop: Done with even more Lampshade Hanging in the episode Sticks and Amy's Excellent Stay-Cation... |

Liv in the Future: Liv tells Alix about her plan to break into the morgue, which has far too many action movie elements present to be realistic. After shutting her plan down and thinking for a minute, Alix says he has an idea. The next scene has them walking through the front door and claiming they’re delivering a pet to “Josh” in order to get in. | |

Big Hero 6: The Series lampshades this in the episode Major Blast. When asked if Boss Awesome ever talked about a villain named Major Blast, Fred announces that his father "should have a record in his..." Fred stands up and leads the team to the limo, which is driven back to his house, where the team enters Boss Awesome's secret lab and all start looking through boxes until Fred pulls out the "...punch card database!" | |

In an episode of NUMB3RS, two bank employees are taken hostage to force their boss to cooperate with an ATM hacking scheme. The team figures it out and confronts him, and he finally agrees to tell them the truth. His description of what's supposed to happen according to the kidnappers is overlaid over video of him playing his part (basically, appearing to go along with the scheme), intermixed with shots of the FBI's behind-the-scenes actions. | |

Parodied in Shaun of the Dead, where Shaun has to explain a plan in this way three times (with minor alterations) until he gets a version that he and Ed are both happy with. In addition, the footage that we see while he's describing the plans makes them look laughably easy, all finishing with everyone smiling and happy and a shot of Shaun sipping a tea (or beer) and winking smugly at the camera. | |
