Sneezes and coughs often happen at the most unfortunate moment, usually when everything is going so well. Have you managed to sneak into the Big Bad's fortress and you're now listening as he explains his evil plan? Atchoo! All the guards are after you now. Have you created a very convincing Totem Pole Trench and fooled everyone? Atchoo! The Disaster Dominoes start toppling, and you're in a world of trouble now, matey. And don't expect to get off scot-free by saying "gesundheit?", 'cause it won't help. A Dead Horse Trope would be the Anti-Sneeze Finger, which is holding one's finger under one's nose to "stop it." ...which it might, for a few seconds. Still, it's not much help — once it starts, an Ill-Timed Sneeze cannot be stopped by any means known to man. Often caused by an allergy to the rarest substance known to man to which you will be exposed only at such a time, or something completely uncanny tickling your nostrils. And sometimes it comes with no reason at all—since people in real life sneeze at random moments all the time, the Ill-Timed Sneeze can function as a universal Diabolus ex Machina. See Pepper Sneeze and Hiccup Hijinks. If the sneeze itself is dangerous, it's a Sneeze of Doom. Contrast "Aww"-choo for a very different sort of sneeze. May be connected to Plot Allergy. Very frequently results in So Much for Stealth. |

In Sunrider 4: The Captain's Return, the crew board Crow Harbor's dreadnought and discover him standing in an inert, seemingly lifeless state. Claude approaches him to check his vitals, only to let out a powerful sneeze which wakes him up. Cue the party beating a hasty retreat to the Maray as Crow powers up his dreadnought for a boss fight. | |

Happens twice in a PAW Patrol fanfic called Pups in Disguise, where the pups perform a Totem Pole Trench to sneak into an award ceremony that Ryder is attending. In Part 1, when they first encounter Ryder in their disguise, Chase (at the head) sneezes off his fake mustache. This is when Ryder discovers it's really the pups. In Part 2, while the pups are having an encounter with another person, Skye (in the middle) let's out a very audible sneeze. Fortunately, the guy doesn't act suspicious about it. |

The Little Rascals: Another example is in the 1937 short "Rushin' Ballet", where after Spanky and Alfalfa incur the wrath of the neighborhood bullies, Butch and Woim. They manage to hide in the basement of a ballet studio disguised as mannequins, and while the two bullies are looking in the laundry basket for them, Alfalfa sneezes and almost gives them away, but Spanky throws a shoe at the clothes rack and temporarily distracts them. | |

CSI: NY: In "The Ripple Effect," a hunter is sitting in a tree in a park perfectly aiming at the prize deer he's been after for a while when, out of nowhere, he has what Mac describes as an "ill-fated sneeze." His arrow goes flying astray and pierces the neck of another man who had just been almost choked to death. The shot finishes him off. | |

In Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, Angela sneezes while sneaking around the Thugs-4-Less ship, getting herself captured and necessitating a rescue mission (she also attempts to pass her sneeze off as a cat, but this doesn't work, even if she does bear a resemblance to one). | |

101 Dalmatians: The Series: In the episode "Home Is Where the Bark Is", Lucky, Cadpig, and Rolly make many attempts to escape from their old house (which they are trapped inside). In one of these attempts, they form a Human Ladder to get out through the chimney. However, the second after their tower was formed, Lucky (at the top) loosened some soot, which got into Rolly's nose, and his sneeze caused the totem to collapse. In another episode, "Goose Pimples", while Pug and Spot are hiding from Lock Jaw, Pug mentions this trope to Spot and tells her not to do it, but he ends up doing it. |

Zig-Zagged in "Strike Up the Band"; Henry and Mr. Wilson chase a purse snatcher who hides from them in a department store by posing as a mannequin. He sneezes twice, but Henry and Mr. Wilson assume the other sneezed instead. The purse snatcher gives himself away with a "Thank you!" instead. |

In He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2021), when the Masters are sneaking through Eternos Palace, Teela has to hide the group from King Randor with an Invisibility spell. The spell is a dome the Masters have to crowd into, and Cringer's swishing tail brushes against Teela's nose, making her sneeze and stagger out of the spell. When King Randor sees her, she claps her hands over her mouth, breaking her tut and canceling the spell hiding the others. | |

Minor example in Robin Hood: As Skippy sneaks into the castle grounds to retrieve his lost arrow, his sisters Sis and Tagalong and friend Toby watch from outside the gate. Just as Skippy meets and befriends Maid Marian and Lady Kluck, little Tagalong sneezes, which alerts Lady Kluck to the other three children's presence. Fortunately, both she and Marian are very kind and welcoming. | |

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Sneezy always seems to sneeze at the worst possible times, like ejecting Dopey from the top of a Totem Pole Trench, blowing Dopey's chance of getting a kiss from Snow White, and of course, putting him and his brothers at risk of getting caught by a burglar. The fact that his sneezes are usually powerful enough to blast the other dwarfs across the room makes things worse. | |

Enforced in Half-Life: Alyx. Certain Xen flora release clouds of spores that cause allergic reactions in humans, a coughing fit in Alyx's case. It's non-damaging and harmless... until you meet Jeff, a blind-but-good-of-hearing fungal zombie that Alyx cannot do anything against in combat and is forced to sneak past. Jeff is very capable of hearing and pinpointing, among other noises, coughing fits; to make it worse, he himself periodically releases those very same allergenic spores. | |

Happens occasionally in Goosebumps. In The Horror at Camp Jellyjam, Wendy secretly follows the camp counselors to their hideout in the woods, and spies Buddy mind controlling the rest of the counselors to serve King Jellyjam. Then after it's finished, Wendy suddenly sneezes. She tries to hold it in, but it comes out anyway. This causes Buddy to point in her direction, alerting the other counselors, and she is forced to hide someplace else. It turns out that the place she chose to hide into is the passageway to King Jellyjam's lair. In The Blob That Ate Everyone, Zackie and Alex sneak into an empty and destroyed antique store, and come across a typewriter. Zackie wants to take it with him, but then the owner of the store comes in looking for them. The two are forced to hide, and they wait there in the darkness, soon wondering if the coast was clear. But then Alex sneezes, which alerts the store owner to their hiding place, and she grabs them. The Series 2000 book Be Afraid — Be Very Afraid!! features this. When Connor and his friends are hiding in a haystack from monsters, the three are quickly swarmed by bugs, seemingly intent on forcing them out of their hiding place. When one crawls up Connor's nose, he sneezes and gives them away. |

In The Horror at Camp Jellyjam, Wendy secretly follows the camp counselors to their hideout in the woods, and spies Buddy mind controlling the rest of the counselors to serve King Jellyjam. Then after it's finished, Wendy suddenly sneezes. She tries to hold it in, but it comes out anyway. This causes Buddy to point in her direction, alerting the other counselors, and she is forced to hide someplace else. It turns out that the place she chose to hide into is the passageway to King Jellyjam's lair. | |

The first sneeze comes when he is hiding behind the storage tanks, but Snowy acts as a Convenient Decoy Dog. The second sneeze is after Dr. Müller accidentally knocks over a box of sneezing powder, which leads to a sneeze-filled Fight Scene. |

Rugrats: A helpful example occurs in in "The Smell of Success." At the climax, Tommy and Chuckie are being chased by a bully, when Chuckie's allergy symptoms, which were temporarily cured until this point, suddenly come back. He sneezes a powerful, wet sneeze onto the bully, which causes the bully to fall backward onto a nest of fire ants, which swarm into his pants and make him run away crying. In "Mother's Day," when Phil and Lil are trying to think of a present to give their mother, Lil notices a dandelion puff and starts to suggest it as a present, but then sneezes, blasting all the fluff away. |

In Toe Jam And Earl, it's possible for either Toe Jam or Earl to sneeze, though it's incredibly rare, happening once every few games. It may be harmless in some cases, but if there is a sleeping enemy on screen, or if the player is sneaking up on Santa Claus, all of your sneaking goes to waste. | |

The novelization of Annie (1982) inverts this trope with a helpful sneeze. When the orphans are locked in a closet, they form a Human Ladder with Duffy on top to try to escape through a trapdoor leading to the roof: Duffy can't get it open at first, but then she sneezes, which jolts her head against the trapdoor and knocks it open. (This doesn't happen in the actual film, however, where the girls use a shelving unit as a ladder and Pepper opens the trapdoor with a broom handle: presumably the book reflects an earlier screenplay draft.) | |

Her first sneeze is interrupted before it can wake Porcina, but the second blows out Megan's torch and the third gives them away when they're trying to hide. In "The Quest of the Princess Ponies, Part 2", when the heroes are sneaking around the walls of Lavan's chambers, the bushwoolies' sneezing alerts Lavan to their presence and allows him to find and defeat them. |

In the episode "Doctor Who S32 E3 "The Curse of the Black Spot" The Curse of the Black Spot", the Doctor sneezes, which prompts the Siren to aim a fireball at him. Not wanting to get burned, the Doctor rapidly talks his way into figuring out what the fireball is for and how to deflect it away from him before she launches it. In "The Power of Three", Amy, Rory, and The Doctor are hiding under King Henry VIII's bed when The Doctor sneezes. |

Lucky, Cookie, Niblet, and Squirt put whipped cream on their faces to make it look like they have rabies. The plan works at first, but backfires when Niblet sneezes off the cream on his face.

In Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1948), Rudolph starts out trying to evade the other reindeer who tease him by hiding inside a Christmas tree, disguising his nose as an ornament. But when one reindeer sees the "ornament" moving and realizes what it really is, he tickles it with a sprig of pine needles, making Rudolph sneeze and revealing him to everyone. | |

Subverted on Even Stevens. After Ren ruins one school picture, she nearly sneezes during her retake photo, but this time the finger under the nose works. | |

The Series 2000 book Be Afraid — Be Very Afraid!! features this. When Connor and his friends are hiding in a haystack from monsters, the three are quickly swarmed by bugs, seemingly intent on forcing them out of their hiding place. When one crawls up Connor's nose, he sneezes and gives them away. | |

Invoked in Code Lyoko's "Wreck Room" as Odd tries to distract the suddenly-overly-competitive clone of William into flubbing a shot at the ping pong table with Jim with a fake sneeze. It only gets the wildcard yelled at by both of them. | |
