On some shows with a Drop-In Character, the drop-in's appearance is sometimes immediately presaged by an ironic or insulting comment born from another context entirely but which could be applied to them. In Horror works, the character may appear in answer to an ominous remark or question. In comedies, the character's appearance may be immediately preceded by a gleeful "DID SOMEBODY SAY [word]?!" Compare Speak of the Devil, And Here He Comes Now, and Walk-In Chime-In. Sometimes results in an Answer Cut. The inverse of Phrase Catcher. Contrast Incoming Ham. See also Nothing Can Stop Us Now! and Gilligan Cut. Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace can be an example of this trope, but is specific enough to warrant its own page. |

In the TaleSpin episode "The Road to Macadamia", the King of Macadamia is blaming himself for the kingdom's poverty, and when his daughter tries to say it's not his fault, he rhetorically asks who else's fault it could be. Cue his Evil Chancellor, who we later learn is embezzling the tax money, entering the throne room. | |

Arrow: At the start of Season 2, Oliver Queen has taken a 10-Minute Retirement from his secret vigilante activities after the earthquake, but his friends persuade him to return, where he finds Thea Queen berating her boyfriend Roy Harper for trying to emulate his hero. Later in Season 2, Laurel Lance is asking her father Quentin, who is in prison for aiding the Arrow, if he knows who the Arrow's masked female accomplice is. Just then Sara Lance walks through the door to visit her father as well. Ravager is beating up John Diggle prior to killing him. She demands to know where Felicity Smoak is, as she intends to kill her as well. Felicity chooses that moment to run Ravager over with the team van. In "Deathstroke Returns", two mercenaries are playing the card game War when Slade Wilson arrives to show them the real thing. Invoked in "Crisis on Earth-X, Part 2". After taking down Rory and Killer Frost, Oliver's Evil Counterpart asks if "anyone else wants to be a hero?" Instantly, Black Canary, Mr. Terrific and Wild Dog show up. And in "Elseworlds: Hour Two": |

Cheers: An early episode has the then-Speaker of the House of Representatives Tip O'Neil appearing in the bar. When asked what he's doing there, he explains that as he was walking down the street a random woman came up to him and just started rambling at him, and he's ducked into Cheers to get away from her. Just as he says this, Diane Chambers, the woman in question, enters. A Season 9 episode has Frasier scoffing at the notion of Death as "a grim, bloodless ghoul whose bony finger reaches out to tap you on the shoulder when your number's up." His wife Lilith, an Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette, then appears, taps him on the shoulder, and remarks "Frasier, it's time to go," prompting a massive scream. |

Radio Enfer: One episode has the teens working on a stage show adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood. They need someone to play the grandmother. Maria says it needs to be someone who's not afraid to be ridiculous. A few seconds later, Mr. Giroux shows up and says he had this feeling he arrived at the right time, not knowing what the teens have in mind. When Dominique starts planning for an anger-related psychological exercise involving the other main characters, she realizes she first needs an idiot for it. Cue Giroux entering the room. Maria has to prepare a Pupperwhale presentation in order to become a saleswoman for that company. Carl comments that the only people who goes to those kinds of presentations are people who are tacky and with no life. This is immediately followed by Giroux entering the room and being excited at the sight of the Pupperwhale products brought by Maria. |

When Dorothy produces "Henny Penny" for a school play, the show might not go on when the cast is quarantined for measles. Dorothy suggests that they get adults to play the parts instead. Director Frank is skeptical: "Where are we going to find an adult with the childlike naivete to play Henny Penny?" Rose immediately walks through the door, declaring that she's just seen a cloud "that looks exactly like a cotton ball!" What makes this one even better is that the audience fully expects the gag, as they start laughing the minute Frank first asks the question. |

In Neighbours, Karl and Susan become laughingstocks after Karl admits to writing an erotic short story set in a fictionalised version of Ramsay Street. When Susan asks him to retract his claim on it, he talks with Toadie, who notes that he just needs to find someone who would be willing to take credit for writing an erotic story. At that moment, Lou Carpenter enters in the background. | |

The Weaver Option: As a Black Templar ship makes a seemingly hopeless assault on a Drukhari-defended Webway gate, an Imperial Guard general notes that it would take a miracle from the God-Emperor himself to prevent the Templar ship being crippled. Cue the Gloriana battleship Flamewrought, guided there by the Emperor, emerging from the Warp and obliterating the defending Eldar. As Imperial reinforcements arrive at Fenris, a Word Bearer dismisses the forces as irrelevant as they have no Astartes support. Cue a fleet of Astartes vessels dropping out of the Warp, led by the flagship of Lemann Russ. The Word Bearer then claims the flagship must be a ploy as there's no way Russ has actually returned. Cue Russ making his presence, and anger, very clear. |

Scrubs: The aforementioned use in Laverne and Shirley is parodied. Dr. Kelso tries to scare people into getting a full body scan to make money. When Dr. Cox asks who would be stupid enough to get the scan, Harvey Corman, a recurring character who is a massive hypochondriac pops up behind him and says, "Hello, Laverne." In another episode, Turk says to Carla that he wants their next child to be a boy, because as things are, he's surrounded by girls. "There's you, Izzy, Elliot..." Carla asks "Who else?", and then J.D. enters the room. Carla finds this highly amusing. |

The Muppet Show: Crazy Harry will drop in and blow stuff up whenever someone mentions anything explosive-related. ("Wow, that act was really dynamite!" "Did someone say 'dynamite'?!" *KABOOM!*) In the Zero Mostel episode, Kermit has to put on a lady wrestling match, but can only find one wrestler. When he wonders how he's going to find a second one, he asks himself out loud where he's going to find "another heavy-weight, aggressive, tough female with a killer's instinct". Cue Miss Piggy. |

In The Sorcerer's Receptionist, Alois's father is holding a party to help his son court the Princess Corolla, and wondering how he can find out whether the former's feelings are genuine. Then, for reasons completely unrelated to what's going on, one of Alois's oldest friends teleports in by accident. She apologizes profusely and tries to make it up to him, but he isn't upset at all — he's just found his catspaw. | |

Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance): A Double Subversion. After Riggan injures Ralph and tells Jake to find a new actor, Jake replies: "What, you think the ideal actor is just gonna knock on that door and take the part?!" [knock on the door]. It's only Lesley's face. Then she informs Riggan and Jake that Mike is available after all. | |

The Nanny loves this trope. It's commonly used to not-so-subtly insult a character. For example: In "The Nanny Napper", when Fran brings home a baby: "Val's Apartment": A second example has a surprise cameo from the master of this trope. In another instance, Maxwell remarks that Fran being stuck in a bad situation is "an awful way to spend Valentine's Day." C.C. immediately comes into the room; Niles jokes "And here's another." |

Garfield and Friends: Any time Garfield asks about stupid acts, either Odie or Jon performs such an act. Subverted in one episode when Odie doesn't do the act Garfield suggests, which is lampshaded as even Odie not being so stupid. In "Rip Van Kitty", Garfield has a Dream Sequence wherein he sleeps for twenty years and wakes up in the future. During his time there, Earth is invaded by aliens from "Zizzabottawattawattaboinkboink Three"; the newscaster who announces this describes the race as short, lazy creatures that sleep twenty-three hours a day and devour an entire planet's food supply in the remaining hour. Garfield ponders this as the spaceship in question appears: |

Star Trek: The franchise often has an Inadvertent Entrance Q, given that these omnipotent annoying beings have a tendency to suddenly appear in their midst to finish whatever conversation the characters are having: Star Trek: Voyager: In "Night", Tom Paris is playing a World of Ham holodeck adventure. The evil Mad Scientist declares, "There is one force in this universe that even you cannot defeat!", but instead of his Killer Robot, Tom's Sitcom Arch-Nemesis the Doctor appears to complain about him monopolizing the holodeck. |

After Mr. Cat ruins said date, Kaeloo laments and asks whom she can play "restaurant" with now that her "customers" are gone. Suddenly, Stumpy shows up with a fork and knife and runs towards the table. In "Let's Play Stumpy's I.Q.", Stumpy, who has been given Sudden Intelligence, decides to invent a bomb. When he mentions this, Olaf suddenly shows up and asks who mentioned a bomb. |

Alan and Amy are up in the middle of the night and Alan says that they should go to bed because "only creeps and weirdos are up now". Eric then walks in the door. Eric then says the exact same thing and Shawn walks in the door. Then Shawn says it and Mr. Feeny walks in the door. |

Batman Returns: Played with in a scene. Batman crashes through a window into the top floor of a dark, abandoned building to rescue the Ice Princess, who's been tied to a chair and muzzled with a cloth by the Penguin's goons. He quickly frees her, informing her that he's been framed for her kidnapping. The Ice Princess's response? "No problem. I'll just tell the police that I was kidnapped by an ugly bird-man with fish breath." Immediately afterward, someone announces: "Did somebody say 'fish'?" and a familiar figure drops from the rafters. Is it the Penguin? No, it's another notorious criminal who dresses in the manner of another animal well known for eating fish... | |

Exterminatus Now, in which the characters are part of the Moebian Inquisition, subverts it in an early script ("We're not doing the Python bit. Maybe next time."), then plays it straight much, much later on in an awesome way — it's a much more badass line when it's accompanied by a Fast-Roping drop, gunships, and dozens of armed commandos. They did say "next time"! | |

Saturday Night Live: Mocked in a skit featuring Conan O'Brien as "Moleculo", a superhero who is unable to keep his identity a secret because, whenever he hears his name mentioned, even if out of costume, he loudly bellows: "THE MO-LEC-U-LAR MANNNN!" He finally gives up and moves to Mexico — only to constantly repeat his mistake. In Spanish. In the "We're not porn stars anymore" skits, the third ex-porn star walks in and asks "Did somebody say [pun relating to the item being sold]" — only it's subverted because the cue is never said, and eventually the main girls just have the third one do their schtick regardless. |

Barton especially doesn't like the notion that the older man character will lose out. He stammers "After all, there's nothing to keep him from getting the girl except—" and he's interrupted by the intercom buzzing with the secretary saying "Mrs. Kendrick."

Doctor Who: In Part 1 of "The Curse of Peladon", the Peladonian high priest relates an ancient legend to the visiting delegates. The moment he comes to the part about a prophecy that a stranger will arrive to bring peril to the planet, the Doctor walks through the door. Subverted in "The Snowmen" when Clara is telling the children about the Doctor as a bedtime story and looks expectedly at the door when it opens, only for the Monster of the Week to burst in, forcing them to run for their lives. However, it's then played straight when the Doctor arrives Just in Time for his "Doctor who?" Running Gag. |

The "Spanish Inquisition" sketch in Monty Python's Flying Circus is another example of this. Whenever someone utters the phrase "I wasn't expecting some sort of Spanish Inquisition," they barge in and the leader yells, "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" It's subverted at one point; the phrase is uttered, and all characters present turn their attention to the door, clearly expecting the Spanish Inquisition, but no one enters. Made doubly funny by the fact that the inquisitors in question are shown rushing through London to get there and say their line before the episode ends while the credits roll on-screen. They make it just in time to get their catchphrase cut off by the end card: "Nobody expects the Spa— oh, bugger!" | |

In the Cory in the House crossover special with That's So Raven, Cory (who is in Washington DC) calls his sister Raven in San Francisco. Justified, as Raven's psychic abilities saw his phone call coming, so she deliberately headed to DC early to specifically invoke this trope. | |

In Dumbing of Age, Lucy tells Walky how she when she started college she thought this was a fresh start where high school hierarchy didn't matter any more, and for eight weeks she seemed to be popular. Walky asks what happened then. Cue Billie, whom the whole of Lucy's dorm inexplicably worships because she used to be a cheerleader. | |

The Golden Girls: The show often employs this gag when Stan visits. For instance, in "Mother Load", Rose goes to answer the door, expecting a visit from a co-worker for whom she must conduct a roast. She tells the others, "Be on the lookout for any quirks or oddities." She opens the door; it's Stan. In another episode, Dorothy discusses balancing her checkbook, saying, "I can't think of anything I hate more." When she opens to door to find Stan, she says, "I spoke too soon." Later, when Rose finally agrees to talk to her boss about the stress that's causing her neck and shoulders to tense up, Dorothy says, "Good for you, [doorbell] cause there's nothing worse than a pain in the neck." She opens the door, it's Stan, she promptly says "I must be psychic." In the two-parter where Dorothy plans to (re)marry Stan, Rose throws her a bridal shower. The party includes games, including having to remove a heart-shaped sticker from someone's clothing every time she crosses her legs. Dorothy protests: "Who keeps their legs uncrossed all the time?" Cue Blanche walking in covered in stickers. Dorothy goes to a baseball game with Stan and Sophia, commenting that she's lucked out—she usually ends up sitting next to "a fat, sweaty man who insists on taking his shirt off." As she's saying this, a man that fits that exact description comes up behind her and sits in the adjacent seat. "What kept you?" When Dorothy produces "Henny Penny" for a school play, the show might not go on when the cast is quarantined for measles. Dorothy suggests that they get adults to play the parts instead. Director Frank is skeptical: "Where are we going to find an adult with the childlike naivete to play Henny Penny?" Rose immediately walks through the door, declaring that she's just seen a cloud "that looks exactly like a cotton ball!" What makes this one even better is that the audience fully expects the gag, as they start laughing the minute Frank first asks the question. In "And Then There Was One", the girls babysit the children of participants in a charity walkathon. Blanche has a hard time bonding with the kids, explaining, "I guess to relate to a child, it helps to have the mind of a child." At that instant, Rose appears on the lanai, wearing a newspaper on her head and carrying a metal lid, leading the children in a march and singing "Cling-clang, bing-bang, I'm the leader of the garbage can band!" |

Sam and Max Beyond Time and Space features a running gag in which characters will mention that it's their birthday, prompting a Mariachi to appear out of nowhere ("Did somebody say BIRTHDAY?") and play a celebratory song before disappearing into thin air. It later turns out that the mariachis (actually a single mariachi who has recruited two younger versions of himself) operate out of a time-traveling spaceship and have a special system in place to listen for people saying that it's their birthday. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: In "Blood Ties", Glory is telling Dawn that she's going to kill her to send a message to Buffy. Guess who enters for a Big Damn Heroes. Season 7 plays with the suggestion that Giles has been killed and replaced by the First Evil. In "Bring on the Night", Buffy (who hasn't seen Giles for some time) declares that she's going to go out and find the First Evil, opens the door, and finds herself facing Giles instead. |
