A recurring gag in action or speculative fiction works where something absolutely incredible is happening outside, but then we cut to the inside of an office building and we see that the janitor is completely oblivious to what is going on around him, either because he has his headphones on, because his back is turned or because the cleaning equipment he is operating is too loud. Or possibly two or all three of the above scenarios combined. A Sister Trope to Funny Background Event, with the twist that the "background" is now the main plot, and the funny event is brought to the foreground. Not to be confused with The Almighty Janitor, who sees and knows all. |

Coupling: In the last episode, Jane is so wrapped up in cleaning her flat (and setting the mood) for sex that she doesn't realize Oliver is trying oh so desperately to get in. It's only revealed toward the end of this scene that she's wearing headphones, which is why she hadn't noticed his clawing at the door, hanging outside her window, or trying to grab her from the mail slot. | |

Implied one in the process of taking place during Act 5 of Quantum Break, as Jack is storming Monarch HQ. Due to the Fracture, a train is in the process of crashing into the building when a stutter hits. Jack can find a janitor behind the escalators, oblivious to both the train crash and the fighting Jack has been having with Monarch's stutterproof Mooks, and Jack will remark on the shock he'll have when time restarts. | |

A cut to the outside shows the man has ear buds in and is oblivious to the desperate screams and poundings, as the killer drags the girl away from the window and back into the darkness of the house. | |

While a police car is careening wildly to avoid machine gun fire, we cut to a scene of Argyle the chauffeur rocking out with his limousine's stereo cranked up high oblivious to what's happening behind him. He only realises that he's locked in the building with a gang of terrorists after he sees a news report on the limo's TV. | |

Gets egregious in X2: X-Men United, when a janitor walks past Mystique disguised as him. In fairness, though, he was likely too stunned by this bizarre event to do much about it (and had he caught on, Mystique could well have killed him, so it's probably fortunate that the real janitor limited his response to a double take). | |

The Day After Tomorrow: A tornado suddenly and severely damages a building. The janitor doesn't notice until the lights go out. Justified in that he is in a windowless hallway. The janitor then opens the nearest door and sees that half of the building has been sheared off by the wind, taken two lovers with them (in which the janitor saw the man running to that room). | |

The Terminator: Played with. The janitor at the run-down motel that the T-800s is hiding in is at least involved enough to ask about the foul smell coming from it's room (resulting from the T-800's bullet-riddled flesh slowly rotting), but is easily moved along by the T-800's rude response (specifically selected from several different dialogue options). | |

In "Yes Without My Zeke", the kids have to sneak into school on a Saturday while Mr. Branca, the custodian, is waxing the floors. Fortunately, he's got headphones on, and there's several shots of the kids sneaking past him in the background. |

Thom has to stay in an executive's office to do work for the heist, but a guard approaches before he can leave.
