A character giving a long and involved explanation or speech glances over and notices his audience is distracted and busy doing something else, sleeping, or just deliberately waiting until the speaker shuts up. This mostly tends to happen when the Big Bad is all excited about telling the heroes his "evil" plan, only to find out that nobody cares or being interrupted and attacked. Named for the typical gag shot of this trope, where the ignoring characters sit down and have some tea. In America, you're likely to hear Chirping Crickets instead. In comic format, likely to involve the Wall of Blather. Related "eating while something is happening" tropes are Pass the Popcorn (where the audience finds someone else's trouble entertaining) and The Snack Is More Interesting (where someone is directly involved, but acts strangely unconcerned). For speakers who are so boring they put their audience to sleep, see Nap-Inducing Speak. |

In the Count Duckula episode "Igor's Busy Day", engaged American couple Scott and Laura have taken refuge from a storm in Castle Duckula, and have joined the Count for dinner. While Scott spends the entire meal reciting the digits of Pi, Laura talks at length about how she and Scott met and about her very large family. The thoroughly bored Duckula tries to keep himself occupied by balancing the contents of the fruit bowl on top of each other, firing a pea from his knife at the oblivious Scott, and sculpting a castle out of mashed potato before dozing off and falling face first into it. Meanwhile, Igor and Nanny have long since fallen asleep at the far end of the table. | |

Happens repeatedly in Ranma ½. Particularly effective in the first Non-Serial Movie, where it's basically a character trait (and Berserk Button) of the Chinese girl Lychee to deliver a heartfelt, sobbing tale of woe only to be summarily ignored. | |

Angel: In "Shells", Angel's speech about the virtues of humanity and how he'll fight to defend each and every one is interrupted by Wesley shooting Knox, the human who brought back Illyria. Angel turns and asks him "Were you even listening?" When Lindsey tries to justify being evil in "Blind Date", Angel thinks he's so long-winded that he dozes off. Lindsey gets his own back in "Not Fade Away", where he's the one not paying attention to Angel's speech. |

This happens all the time to The Vicar of Dibley's Frank Pickle, who is quite possibly the most boring man on earth. People tend to fall asleep when he starts talking about something, and it is implied that he bored his parents to death (though Frank will remind you that it was never proven). | |

In The Simpsons: In "Trash Of The Titans", Homer interrupts a U2 show to promote his campaign for Springfield's sanitation commissioner, which makes Bono go into his own speech about sanitation, prompting The Edge and Larry Mullen, Jr. (but not Adam Clayton) to slip out to Moe's during the speech, making it back by the time Bono's done with his speech. In "Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge", Homer lists all the jobs he's had up to that point, all while Marge gets all her curlers into her hair. |

Kael'thas Sunstrider in World of Warcraft. Players died because they didn't realize he'd finally finished his speech and had started attacking them again. This happens often enough that one of the more common mods has a timer to show how long until they shut up and fight. One of the bosses gained a common nickname; Lady Deathwhisper became Lady Talkstoomuch, for her two minute speech, which she gives while the party is pulling trash. |

In Suikoden II, a rare variant of Riou and Nanami's Unite attack has Nanami sit down for a cup of tea and so on whilst Riou does all the fighting, becoming more and more exhausted-looking as the attack sequence plays out. This can be a preferred outcome: the damage is similar, and instead of losing her next turn, Nanami gets a regen buff. | |

In Tales of Symphonia there's a scene where the party is discussing matters after a plot twist reveals some shocking information. After a few moments Presea sits down on the ground and Sheena starts fidgeting. Weirdly, this is the only time something like this happens (and the conversation is relatively short). Justified in that the plot twist in question is at the top of a very tall climb (hence Presea resting her legs) and the conversation involves planning a frontal assault on a city of angels (hence Sheena's nervousness). | |

In One Piece's Fishman Island arc, Jimbei spouts out about 7-chapters long Exposition about the Fishmen in the past and, namely, Queen Otohime and Fisher Tiger (2 fish people notable on their crusade against racial oppression) to the Straw Hats. While the others listen carefully, Luffy just fell asleep. Cue Jimbei's Wild Take. Later on, Jimbei gives a much shorter speech on the changes that went on following the Paramount War... only to learn that Luffy is more interested in eating his meat than listening to exposition. Luffy seems to just have an aversion to listening to exposition in general. Way back in the Arlong Arc, when Nojiko is about to reveal Nami's backstory, Luffy falls asleep before she even starts talking. In the Enies Lobby arc, Spandam is busy gloating about the power of the World Government, while Luffy starts picking his nose. |

Meanwhile, Snake tells Venus (and the player) what he's noticed about Metal Gear's weapons and how he thinks they should fight it, in speech bubbles rather than the standard text boxes. Once they've finished, Venus interrupts Kopplethorn with a lampshadey joke about the long speeches in the series, enraging him. | |

In a Peanuts comic, Charlie Brown has the baseball team at his house for a meeting because it's raining out. He begins by running through their signals, but ends up launching into an inspiring speech about team spirit and the interest the players show in the game, only to turn around and find that everyone is watching his TV. The dialogue from the strip, slightly altered, was used for a better-known gag in A Charlie Brown Christmas. | |

Doctor Who: In "Planet of the Ood", when Donna steps out of the TARDIS and sees the awesome snowy vistas of the Oodsphere, her first impression is that it's bloody freezing. The Doctor encourages her to see the wider picture, appreciate the incredible views, consider how amazing it is that an average woman from Chiswick who was getting up, working, coming home, watching telly and going to bed is now travelling across space and time to land on alien worlds... and finds she's gone back into the TARDIS to get a coat. According to the Doctor he often skips out mentally during other people's conversations. He might have been trolling at the time, but episodes like "The Witch's Familiar" and "Heaven Sent" show this is Not Hyperbole—he really can think that fast. |

Occasionally happens on Pokémon: The Series, usually when the Team Rocket trio are reciting their motto. In one case, the main characters even twigged that they could use this time to rescue the Mons. Pokémon: The Original Series: In "Island of the Giant Pokémon", Meowth makes a threatening monologue towards Ash's Pikachu, then finds that his fellow Team Rocket Pokémon (Ekans and Koffing) are ignoring him and having a tea break. In "Challenge of the Samurai", a battle comes down to Ash's Metapod (a cocoon capable only of hardening itself to defend from attacks) and his opponent's Metapod. In the middle of this stalemate, the camera cuts to Misty in a bathing suit getting some sun with Pikachu. Those must have been some really dedicated trainers to not notice a girl changing clothes right next to them.note Since Misty is a Water Pokémon trainer, she probably wore her bathing suit under her clothes. You know, since her Gym is a giant swimming pool. But hey, Pokémon battles are Serious Business. In an episode featuring Team Galactic, they easily set up and execute their counterattack in the length of time necessary for Team Rocket to deliver the motto. |

In Shadow Hearts: Covenant, one of the villains is giving a monologue about how the party is doomed, etc. However, he's doing this while sitting on a floating pillow, leading to the party discussing how the pillow floats. When he finishes, Yuri has only one question: "Where can I get one of those pillows?" Yuri has a habit of interrupting people's monologue, usually to insult them. |

In Season 7 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy's tendency to give a Rousing Speech is a Running Gag. In "Storyteller", Andrew ducks out of the room when Buffy starts going into another soliloquy, noting that they can go on for some time. A few minutes later he looks to see if Buffy has finished — she's still going on and even Willow is trying to hide a yawn. When Andrew himself tries to give a speech in "Chosen", Anya curtly tells him to shut up: "Nobody cares." | |

In the Frasier episode "Ask Me No Questions", Frasier is speaking to Martin, who gets up, leaves the apartment to fetch the paper, and returns just in time to absent-mindedly agree with whatever Frasier had been talking about, all without Frasier realizing. Later, the same thing happens when he's speaking with Daphne (she goes to catch up with friends and buy some coffee). Frasier is completely oblivious. | |

Pokémon: The Original Series: In "Island of the Giant Pokémon", Meowth makes a threatening monologue towards Ash's Pikachu, then finds that his fellow Team Rocket Pokémon (Ekans and Koffing) are ignoring him and having a tea break. In "Challenge of the Samurai", a battle comes down to Ash's Metapod (a cocoon capable only of hardening itself to defend from attacks) and his opponent's Metapod. In the middle of this stalemate, the camera cuts to Misty in a bathing suit getting some sun with Pikachu. Those must have been some really dedicated trainers to not notice a girl changing clothes right next to them.note Since Misty is a Water Pokémon trainer, she probably wore her bathing suit under her clothes. You know, since her Gym is a giant swimming pool. But hey, Pokémon battles are Serious Business. |

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Luigi not paying attention during some of the longer speeches was a Running Gag. He even drinks tea on several occasions. | |
