Narration Echo | comment |
A character repeats what was just said by the narrator, word-for-word (or very nearly) for comedic effect. A stealth version can show up in a script by having the character repeat the stage directions word-for-word (e.g. "Character is sad and confused" Character: I'm sad and confused!). Can be combined with a Said Bookism for serious overkill: Tom was fuming. "I'm fuming!" he fumed. Often a sign of a Lemony Narrator or Interactive Narrator, especially if said narrator retorts "I just said that." In news broadcasts, this is a sign of a bad newswriter. Subtrope of Department of Redundancy Department. Similar to Ironic Echo Cut, but with the Fourth Wall instead of actual cutting. Can involve That Makes Me Feel Angry. |

In Rally Round the Flag, Boys!, Oscar Hoffa suspects that Angela is divorcing him because she has found another guy, and hires a private detective who turns up this lead: "Subject left Putnam's Landing on the 10:07 train this morning. Subject registered at the Plaza Hotel at 11:54, checked into Room 921. Man came to Room 921 at 12:15 p.m. and was admitted by subject. Man is tall, in mid-thirties, wearing tan topcoat and gray flannel suit, looked nervous, no distinguishing marks." One page later, the narration leaves Oscar behind and takes up with Harry Bannerman, described thusly: | |

At the start of Act Two of Spamalot, the Historian recaps the end of Act One, ending with, "King Arthur and his knights fled for their lives and were instantly scattered and lost in a dark, and very expensive, forest."

The WordGirl episode "Mecha-Mouse" is narrated by the usual Interactive Narrator and his Darker and Grittier twin brother. At one point, they muse, "Will WordGirl be able to stop Dr. Two-Brain's plan to buy his own private island?" "Or will Two-Brains Island become the center of evil and villainy for all eternity?" Later on, as Dr. Two-Brains goes to buy his island, he cackles to himself, "Two-Brains Island will become the center of evil and villainy for all eternity! The narrator told me so." | |

Sgt. Frog: In the dub of episode 15, when the others imagine Keroro and Dark Momoka teaming up to conquer the world, the narrator warns, "But their dark union was not that simple." Cut to Dark Momoka informing the platoon, "Our dark union's not that simple." Used again in episode 22: And in the first beach episode. This is obviously one of their favorite gags. In episode 3, the narrator talks about "the foulest of funks emanating from the Hinatas' basement". Natsumi complains by saying "Man, that is one foul funk." They manage to invert it once. |
