A character goes on a rant, presumably induced by some slight, and is caught up in a spot of Angrish. Or maybe they are giving a stirring speech, and are really on a roll, when they let out some Non Sequitur. When the rant or speech ends, the person being chewed out or preached to, with a perplexed tone, ignores 99% of the speech in order to single out the Non Sequitur. Compare I Take Offense to That Last One!, where the target (if being lambasted) only disagrees with one of the insults, implying that they admit the others are correct. Also compare You Make Me Sic, where in a situation you expect someone to have a strong reaction to a statement or insult they single out bad spelling and grammar.

Kitty Pryde provides us this example from Astonishing X-Men, though in this case what Kitty points out was the thing she was most concerned over. | |

In one episode of Parks and Recreation, the gang is auditioning mural ideas. Jerry starts to give a touching speech about how his idea was influenced by his mother, but he accidentally calls the mural a "murinal." Seeing as how he's the Butt-Monkey, nobody lets him live it down. | |

On 4chan, someone told the story about how his mother's bakery was broken in to, and to protect the merchandise, she had him store all the cakes on hand at his apartment—about forty of them. He laments that he already housednote ate the whole thing by himself one of them, and didn't know what else to do. This was the immediate response: | |

Semi-subverted in The West Wing. Toby Ziegler, about to leave for a meeting on federal estate taxes, delivers a towering rant against the "death tax" while striding about his office picking up papers, getting dressed... the phone rings, Bonnie answers, then starts calling "Toby!" Ginger actually says "He's rollin'..." as Toby comes to a thunderous conclusion, sails out the door and comes to a screeching halt as Bonnie yells "Toby, they cancelled the meeting!" | |

The Animal House scene was referenced in the second episode of Team Neighborhood; as BLU Soldier is giving his idea of a Rousing Speech, he declares the team to be "red-blooded Americans", prompting Blu Medic to remark that only one in three of them are actually American. BLU Heavy then deadpans, "Forget it, he's on a roll." | |

Monty Python's Flying Circus is dotted with this in the Live At Drury Lane sketch "Cocktail Bar," where four businessmen stop in to order some rather unusual drinks ("Special with a twist of lemming," "Harlem Stinger," etc.) | |

This is a stock gag on Top Gear. with Jeremy Clarkson (and occasionally Richard Hammond) going off on a long-winded, over-the-top rant at one of the others (usually James May), at the end of which May will react to only one small part of the entire rant. | |

On an episode of Barney Miller a riot breaks out in front of the precinct station. Barney gives an impassioned speech to a representative, saying among other things "Maybe we are all going to hell in a handbasket." When things quiet down, Dietrich says to Barney "Hell in a handbasket?" | |
