Not Listening to Me, Are You?	comment	Bob is busy with something â€” playing a game, reading a book, tampering in the domain of God â€” and Alice comes up and tries to talk to him about "something important". Bob just answers with a few muttered lines of, "Yep, uh-huh, yeah," the lion's share of his concentration on his task, until Alice gets annoyed and says something completely outlandish: "There's a weasel chewing on my figgin." After a moment, the absurdity sinks in and Bob asks what she said, which (usually) prompts the stock phrase: "You're not listening to me, are you?" Variations on the gag includes Bob failing to even register Alice's outlandish comment and her lamentation that he isn't listening, or first noticing what she said after she has long given up and left the room in exasperation. The actual import of what Alice has to say, compared with the importance of what Bob is doing, is largely irrelevant to the gag â€” it's perfectly okay to interrupt both video games and world-saving research with relationship questions, after all. The whole point of the gag is to bring out as absurd a non sequitur as possible when Alice "tests" whether Bob's listening to her. Comes in several flavors. The most common is the girlfriend (or wife) who is angry with boyfriend/husband for ignoring her in favor of whatever he's doing. This is almost always the woman testing the man; it's a rare case where the woman is seen as the neglectful one in the relationship. Usually ends in a false reconciliation (sometimes with Bob reaching out to keep playing his game while still hugging Alice), and also often with Alice even angrier at Bob because he doesn't see what's wrong with his behavior. The next most common is the mentor or close friend (who may be either sex) trying to distract Bob from an obsession: Bob must beat the final boss, he must train until he drops, he must finish researching the cure for the supervirus. His efforts may have a noble intent, but he's going to make himself sick with how much he's putting into it, and neglecting food, sleep, and basic hygiene. If the stock phrase is spoken, it's usually with mere impatience or concern instead of outright anger. A subversion would be if they were listening and pretend not to, or appeared to be not paying attention but could repeat what the person said verbatim. This is Truth in Television as almost any couple can attest.

When her mother says, "Your ice cream is getting cold," Esther dreamily responds, "Isn't it?" Then when her mother asks if there's something wrong with her, Esther thoughtlessly replies, "Yes, Mama," and then goes to say something, but stops. It takes her two youngest sisters mocking her to snap her out of it.

Later in the same book, Sybil mentions that she's going to have a baby, and the narrative records that Vimes' brain "hastily rewrote what she'd just said across the inside of his eyeballs in white-hot fire, then went away and hid," to prevent him answering absently with something unwise such as "Choose any colour you like," or "I'll have a man in to take care of it." Also in Maskerade, Agnes does this: Mustrum Ridcully has been described once or twice as someone who never really listens. Ponder Stibbons has abused this in the past, and thus Ridcully had to start actually listening after finding his signature on several things he supposedly "agreed to" and doesn't remember at all.

When no one responds, Penny turns to her friends and says, "Told ya." After she leaves, Leonard asks if anyone heard something. The above is a Call-Back to what happened in the second episode when Penny found the guys over-thinking the process of furnishing her apartment with their complex and wholly unnecessary ideas. Penny, losing patience, and a little pissed at Howard making a rude chauvinistic remark, jokingly said, "Guys, itâ€™s hot in here, I think Iâ€™ll just take off all my clothes." The group didn't notice at all. In fact, they were so caught up in their own plans, they also didn't notice Penny thought her room was nice as is and ran off to start the own huge collaborative building project.

Not Listening to Me, Are You? / int_5755b96a	comment	The Order of the Stick: In a variation, Roy's ghost isn't sure whether the Oracle is capable of hearing him, and tries to prompt a reaction through a series of "Yo Mama" jokes. Also subverted in that the Oracle can hear him but doesn't want him to know until it's too late for him to make much use of it. Similarly (in a more broad application of the trope), after the group splits up, Vaarsuvius spends every waking moment (and they have plenty, seeing as how they refuse to sleep) trying to devise a spell to look for Haley. Sure, they listen to the things the other members are saying, but actively dismisses them as unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

The leader of a female dancing mafia (...uh, It Makes Sense in Context) is informing Graeme of the vital importance that he listen to her right now because if they genuinely win the dancing competition it will be very bad for them, while he just keeps tinkering with the gadget vital to their success. After she's done snarling and yelling, he simply says "Sorry—wasn't listening" and, distracted and absent-minded, reveals exactly what he was doing and how that machine is vital to them winning. She, however, listened. Hilarity Ensues.

Not Listening to Me, Are You? / int_9b530c26	comment	In Archie Comics, Archie sees Veronica speaking to a handsome guy and begins ranting jealously. Betty tries to convince him to forget them and go off with her, but when it's clear he isn't listening, Betty begins uttering nonsense to get his attention. ("Do you like the shade of green I dyed my hair? I dyed my other head purple! How does that grab you?") Then it emerges that the handsome guy was talking to Veronica because he wanted to be introduced to Betty. The two go off together and now it's Veronica ranting jealously as Archie tries to get her attention, resorting to spouting nonsense himself. When it's clear Veronica didn't hear a word he said, Archie glumly states that's not a very nice way to treat people.

This echoes John's situation at home earlier that morning, when he absentmindedly agreed to have lunch with Ellen at noon (naturally, he forgot).

He started saying random silly comments for the fun of it but then the music dropped out just long enough for him to scream "I'm wetting my pants" in her face.

When Big Frank tries to get them to guess what they're having for dinner and they don't really respond, he comments that it's "stewed brontosaurus with Brussels sprouts on the side." This is met with a sort of general "that's nice" from both of them.

He realizes his dad's not listening, so he mentions he's going to do some increasingly extreme activities like having a wild orgy or stealing cars, even offering to get one for his dad. His dad merely gives an impatient "I'm on the phone. You go on and have some fun", to which Bret says to himself "thanks for caring, dad."

Not Listening to Me, Are You? / int_f74b5f80	comment	From Babylon 5: In "Infection", an old mentor of Stephen Franklin's comes back with some alien artifacts that look like they're organic technology. Stephen gets so absorbed in the research that his friend tries to draw him out with the statement, "There's a Martian war machine parked outside; they'd like a word with you about the common cold." In "Messages from Earth", Marcus Cole is giving a status report to Commander Ivanova, and slowly realizes she isn't listening to him at all. "There's always the threat of an attack by say, a giant space dragon, the kind that eats the sun once every thirty days. It's a nuisance, but what can you expect from reptiles? Did I mention that my nose is on fire? And that I have fifteen wild badgers living in my trousers? [She finally reacts.] I'm sorry, would you prefer ferrets?"

At the end, when it's been revealed that she was actually faking the non-comprehension and has been fluent in English all along, she translates it into Russian and asks the same three questions of Ben Chaplin's character, who actually doesn't understand her.
