Simply put, a phone call in which only one half of the conversation is heard, though this trope isn't limited to just phone calls. This trope is sometimes used in conjunction with a Noodle Incident or Noodle Implements (see the Saturday Night Live example below). It can involve Repeating So the Audience Can Hear, if the audience is intended to understand both sides of the conversation. It becomes quite funny when the speaker repeats the exact words from the other side of the line, for no other reason other than this. Alternatively, the audience can be deliberately left in the dark and forced to imagine what the person on the other end is saying. This can lead either to drama and tension, or be played for laughs. Alternatively, both halves of the conversation may be heard, per se, but from the audience's perspective, the words being spoken by the person on the other end of the line come through as comically sped-up babbling or some other form of unintelligible gobbledygook (sometimes done to imply really vulgar language). If the audience eventually gets to hear both headlines of the phone call, it may lead to Once More, with Clarity. Named after Bob Newhart, who used it in his Recorded and Stand-Up Comedy routines in the 1960s as well as some of his works below. |

In The Last Five Years, which is a two-person musical, whenever one of the main characters is depicted having dialogue with another character, it is presented this way, with the only exception being "The Next Ten Minutes", which is where their timelines intersect. | |

He calls Lisa for help: It happens again later in the same episode, when Marge has to answer phone calls stemming from Bart's misadventures. A hilarious one happens in the episode where politicians descend on Springfield to sway voters: |

Supergirl: In Supergirl (2005) #34, Lana Lang receives a call from Perry White. Although Perry's side of the conversation is not given, it is clear he is trying -and failing- to talk Lana into returning to her job in the Daily Planet. In "Death & the Family", we hear Lana's side of her call to Perry explaining why she must take a leave of absence... and yes, she would like keeping her job. In The Hunt for Reactron, Lois' attempt to call her father is thwarted by a soldier who will not let her speak to General Lane. Supergirl (Wednesday Comics): Supergirl is talking to Aquaman when Arthur suddenly has to take a call from someone who apparently wants him to deal with all sea-related emergencies at once. |

After Mrs. Bear picks up, Franklin asks to speak to Bear. We hear Bear's side of the conversation, which consists of "You did? ... They did? ... We can? I'll ask. (stops to asks his parents if it's okay) Franklin, I can! Okay, see you later." | |

Pirates SMP: How chatting with NPCs works on the SMP. When a player wishes to converse with an NPC, they approach the NPC and type their part of the conversation in the public in-game chat; the NPC will then reply, both in an invisible speech bubble above their head and in the in-game chat, but only the conversing player will be able to see the chat response. If another player is not close enough to see or hear the conversation in person via the invisible speech bubble (which happens in most cases), they will be only able to see the conversing player's side of the conversation in the in-game chat, hence this trope. | |

A Bert and Ernie sketch on Sesame Street has Ernie alone in the apartment while Bert's away visiting his brother. Ernie makes two calls of this type, first to say he's thirsty and then — after getting a drink of water per Bert's suggestion — to tell him he can't sleep. An unheard Bert suggests counting sheep, which Ernie proceeds to do... out loud, with Bert still on the line. | |

Played very much for tension in Petscop, where Paul has often called the original intended recipient of his videos. We never hear their voice, and all we know for sure about them is that they are not "part of 'The Family'", and as such, do not have a room in the Child Library. | |

Quo Vadis, Aida?: A very dark example. A UN refugee camp full of Bosnian Muslims is on the verge of complete panic as an army of Bosnian Serbs, likely bent on massacring them, approaches the camp. UN garrison commander Col. Karremans is shown on the phone to his superiors, asking for support, asking for the air strikes, and growing increasingly agitated as no one in command is there to take his call and tell him what to do. | |

Hell Is for Heroes is a 1962 film about WWII GIs who have to hold an outpost until their relief arrives. They occupy an abandoned German pillbox with a microphone linked back to enemy headquarters. Bob Newhart plays an army clerk who makes fake radio reports so the Germans will believe that the squad is bigger than it is. Many of them are quite funny. | |

In "Control" from Tales from the Loop, Ed's wife Kate takes their daughter Beth and leaves home to go stay with her brother Henry after Ed gets out of control with the Scrapper, a giant robot that he purchased to try to protect his family following break-ins in the local area. Later, Ed calls Henry to try to talk with Kate, but ends up only talking with Henry and we only hear Ed's side of the conversation, and his pain at having alienated his wife and daughter. | |

In "Arthur's First Sleepover" from Arthur, Arthur asks his mother, Mrs. Read, to call Buster's mother, Bitzi Baxter, after finding out she told Buster he couldn't come to Arthur's sleepover because she's worried he'll be scared due to the recent talk of alien spaceships. We don't hear what Bitzi says other than her answering "Hello?" and a sped-up babble and Mrs. Read barely gets a word in edgewise, but the upshot is that Buster can come. | |

Before becoming a full-time comedian, Bob Newhart worked in advertising, and he and a co-worker would record comical conversations with Bob as the straight man. When this person eventually decided to not to pursue comedy, instead of finding a replacement, Newhart simply decided to keep his side of the conversations and let the audience imagine the other side. Perhaps the most memorable is his King Kong routine, in which a security guard at the Empire State Building's first night on the job is interrupted by the ape's ascent. Listen to it here. | |

Referred to on Mystery Science Theater 3000 when Mike refers to an uneventful scene of a man talking on the phone as "the unfunny half of a Bob Newhart routine''. One experiment had Crow parodying it in one riff: "You don't say... you don't say... you don't say!" "What?" "They didn't say." A semi-recurring riff would have them portray the other person on the line, becoming increasingly confused and flustered by what the character in the movie was saying. | |

Yellowjackets: Taissa has one with her bank in "Saints" in which she tries to convince them to allow her to withdraw $50,000 for her and Simone's joint bank account without Simone's signature. She complains that she shouldn't need her wife's signature to make a withdraw of any amount, but the response she gets is obviously not to her satisfaction and she hangs up. Natalie calls up Travis's bank in "Flight of the Bumblebee," wanting them to give her information about who emptied Travis's bank account after he died. We hear her say that she knows she's not family, but she is a friend, but this clearly doesn't hold water with them. She then rages and tosses the phone, then breaks down sobbing, cursing at them and begging them to just help her. |

Robot Chicken: In a Star Wars sketch, Palpatine is on the phone with Vader when Vader tells him that the Death Star blew up. Palpatine gets angry with Vader, only to get another caller asking him what Palpatine wants to eat for lunch today. After making his order; which resulted in calming Palpatine down somewhat; Vader simply says that they could just rebuild the Death Star, causing Palpatine to go ballistic again after having blown so much money into the first Death Star already. Also used in a skit where Dr. Claw learns that his cat is dying of cancer. |

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel references Newhart's routine in the pilot when Joel (without Midge's knowledge) steals his act while performing at a local club. Midge catches on when she sees Newhart himself doing it on television, while Joel dismisses her concerns by telling her everyone starting out does it. In a Brick Joke later in the series, another up-and-comer can be seen performing the same routine. Season 2 sees Midge and Benjamin attend a club where Lenny Bruce is performing, and Lenny's routine that night includes a segment on this. |

At first it's believable, since he's keeping the car warm while she gets in line and expects to be out in ten minutes, but then she keeps right on blathering at him even as an all-out riot breaks out, a Hate Plague infects everyone — herself included — and she ends up becoming the leader of a cult. | |

half•alive: Josh Tyler was planning on scripting and recording a fictional Newhart Phone Call as a brief non-musical interlude on the Now, Not Yet, album. This was because their song "Maybe" ended with a synthesizer trill that resembled a telephone ring. Then their choreographer Jordan Johnson played a voicemail where model Liz Ord expressed her surprise at the band being young Christians touring in an increasingly nonreligious UK, requesting that it be sampled in a song at song point. Tyler realized the voicemail was better than anything he could have written, and it became "The Notion." | |
