This trope occurs when a character says a cue line, but the expected response doesn't happen, so the character has to repeat their cue. Typically used for humor, subverting expectations.
Sometimes the expected response never comes: the character says the words, but nothing happens. Maybe they weren't heard, so they repeat it again, louder and with more emphasis, and still nothing happens. The character is now stuck in an awkward position. Examples would include an actor stuck on stage in front of an audience who must now wing it, or a character waiting for someone to spring a trap that never comes.
Rule of Funny requires that, if the event does eventually happen, it will always occur either after the character has given up, or between recitations. Example: "Behold this event...Now!" (Beat) "...Now!" (Beat) "...N-" (interrupted by event)
May require a Prompting Nudge for the unresponsive character to eventually comply. Compare Delayed Reaction.

When Prince Achmed invades the Magic Kingdom in Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier, the Princess claims that Aladdin will protect them, and calls for him to enter the scene. Achmed and his army brace themselves, but Aladdin doesn't show. This repeats another time; on the third try, the Princess has to check that she got Aladdin's name right, and frantically asks where he is.

In one episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Will and Carlton are telling Jazz about the time that the family got put into witness protection because Will got on the wrong side of an assassin. Will convinces some of his new neighbors (a bunch of stereotypical rednecks) to help him fight the assassin, but by the time the assassin shows up, the neighbors are in a drunken daze as Will helplessly repeats the code word that was supposed to signal The Cavalry.

In The Simpsons, season 23, "Exit Through the Kwik-E-Mart", Homer arranges for Paula Paul to call Marge live during her show to wish her a Happy Birthday. He makes everyone wait while he says "three...two...one!" Nothing happens. He continues to say "one" for hours. Then it turns out that Marge's new pet rabbit (given to her by Bart for her birthday) had chewed through the phone wire, preventing the call from coming through.

In MirrorMask, the protagonist's parents run a small family circus. In one scene, the mother must run offscreen, change into a gorilla costume, and come back on as a different character. Unfortunately, she has a sudden migraine and passes out, forcing another crew member to take her place. The delay results in the oblivious father repeating her cue (mention of bananas) with increasing pointlessness until the replacement appears.

During the Hang Time episode "Goodnight Vince", Mary Beth comes up with a scheme to acquire Coach Fuller's shirt in order for Mary Beth to find out Fuller's size for a jacket she'd get for him, which involves Kristy squirting a defective pen on his shirt under the pretense of asking for his autograph. Unfortunately for Kristy, it doesn't go as well as initially planned, forcing Mary Beth to improvise.

Captain Planet and the Planeteers: During "The Big Clam-Up", Ma-Ti is absorbed in a detective novel when a new case arrives. When the villain traps the Planeteers on a runaway streetcar, Kwame decides they need Captain Planet. All of them combine their powers... except for Ma-Ti, who's been taking advantage of the ride to read again. By the time he's brought back to reality, it's a little late and Gi and Wheeler decide to handle the problem themselves with some impromptu rail-bending. This leads to a wild ride when the streetcar gets routed down Lombard Street.

In Just Shoot Me!, Dennis forgot to buy Jack's lottery ticket on the one occasion when he actually wins. To cover it up, he doctors a ticket and leaves Jack's office window open, so that the ticket will fly away when Nina opens the door. The cue is Dennis saying "Lucky day", but Nina mistakenly thinks it's Marvin Gaye. Dennis continues on saying "Lucky day" in vain before Nina opens the door because she got tired of waiting.

The climax of Mallrats featured Brodie setting up to expose Hamilton's sleeping with a 15-year old girl (the girl did it for a book) to be as public as possible, but it backfires in this fashion when the tape gets dropped. Cue Brodie yelling, "NOW!" several times while on the verge of being assaulted by Hamilton before events turn and the tape plays, rerailing Brodie's plan.

In The Illustrated Guide to Law, the chapter on eyewitness identification begins with a lengthy introduction involving how memory works, different kinds of identification procedures, and how law enforcement can inadvertently cause a false identification... but no discussion of law. Finally, the police officer character gets frustrated, throws his coat on the ground, and asks what the law requires him to do. Then there is a long beat of several panels. Just as the officer begins asking the question again, the narrator jumps into view, saying "did someone say law?"

Aaahh!!! Real Monsters: In the episode "Into the Woods"note No relation to the play other than the episode name being a Shout-Out., Ickis recruits Bradley (a human boy he's on good terms with) to help him with his important group scare assignment during a scout camping trip. The plan is for Ickis to jump in and scare the other campers when Bradley prompts him during his scary story with, "The big hairy monster with the huge pointy fangs leaped onto his unsuspecting prey!", then get chased off by Bradley so the latter will look like a hero. The only problem is Ickis loses track of the campers on the way there, runs into trouble in the woods, and ends up missing his cue. Bradley repeats the cue, but since Ickis is still having problems and therefore a no-show, Bradley has no choice but to improvise and stretch the story out more. Ickis finally shows up while running from lumberjacks and scares the campers after they've started to get bored.

In Stargate SG-1 season 4 "Window of Opportunity", Jack and Teal'c get stuck in a "Groundhog Day" Loop. On an early cycle, he tries to prove to Sam and General Hammond that that is what's going on by predicting that another SG team will come back early because one of them fell and broke his ankle. Jack's guess was about a minute early and he used this trope when it didn't happen when he said it would.

In the trailer for the Hoxton Breakout in PAYDAY 2, Hoxton is being escorted to his retrial by a trio of guards, when a dollar bill is dropped through a drilled hole in the wall, as a signal to him. He dives to the ground, grabs it, grins at the guards and says:

Lampshaded in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, Ethan Hunt shouts, "Mission Accomplished" just before hitting a button which would ensure the villain's plans were defeated. His teammates had gotten tied up dealing with The Dragon, leaving Ethan to frantically push the button until they could do their part. In the end scene, he and his teammates have a good laugh about this.

Defunctland's video on the Disney Channel theme begins with an intro where Kevin talks about the story of jingles and TV channel themes and who created them, before talking about the one from the Disney Channel and saying "the one for Disney Channel was created by..." several times before he realize that no one knows who created it, which is the main subject of the video.

Ratchet & Clank:
In Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, after the Thief captures Clank and gives Ratchet a message:
In Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Emperor Tachyon has finally gotten ahold of the Dimensionator, a device that will allow him to free the cragmites, the imprisoned race of which he's a member. He says, "The time has come for the cragmites to rise again!" punctuating the last word by pulling the lawnmower-like ripcord on the device. Nothing happens.

Shrek: The Musical: "This is How a Dream Comes True" starts into the trope early when Fiona tries to get Shrek (who she believes is her long-awaited true love) to kneel down. She ultimately has to yank him into position. It leads into a dramatic moment when Fiona, lamenting how wrong everything is going, asks Shrek to confirm that he killed the dragon according to the stories. Shrek answers that it's on his to-do list, and the two almost immediately have to run from the dragon.

In The Fairly OddParents!, season 5 "Something's Fishy!", it's revealed that Cosmo sunk the mythical city of Atlantis nine times, earning him the title "The Accursed One" from the angry Atlanteans, who put him on trial and sentence him to death by summoning Krakens to eat him. In order to save themselves, Timmy (who has the powers of Aquaman Captain Ersatz Wet Willie for that episode) telepathically calls for a giant squid. It doesn't show up (despite Timmy repeating the above phrase), causing the people of Atlantis to mock him. That is, until the ending of the episode, right after Timmy convinces King Greg that Cosmo sinking the city nine times was a good thing, causing them to redub Cosmo "The Beloved One," the giant squid finally arrives and destroys Atlantis, earning Timmy the title of "New Accursed One."

When Percy Jackson realizes that the only way to defeat a group of attacking pirates is to convince them that the god Dionysus is on board his boat, he pretends that his friends are falling under the effects of Dionysus's favorite curses: turning people insane, turning people into dolphins, or turning people into insane dolphins. He cues Frank the shapeshifter by shouting:

At the start of the What If…? (2021) episode "What If... T'Challa became a Star Lord?", when T'Challa is confronted by Sakaarans, he declares "A Ravager never flies solo!" After a pause in which nothing happens, he says it again, slightly annoyed. One of the Sakaarans asks if he's trying to make it a catchphrase, before Yondu's arrow finally takes them all out.

In Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey, Shadow and Chance are being chased by a mountain lion, when they come across a dead end. However, Chance gives Shadow an idea to perform the see-saw trick. As Shadow goes to distract the mountain lion, Chance gets into position as Shadow leads the mountain lion towards the see-saw. As soon as the predator gets on the other end, Shadow shouts 'now'. But Chance gets distracted by a butterfly, missing his cue. It takes Shadow angrily shouting at Chance again for the mutt to snap out of it and perform the trick, sending the mountain lion into the river.

In The Golden Girls episode "Beauty and the Beast", Melissa is expected to sing "Put On A Happy Face" for her part of the Beauty Contest talent show, but she is so sick of the whole event (due to non-stop rehearsals that Blanche has subjected her into prior to the talent show) that she simply stands still silently on stage. Blanche tries to remind Melissa of her cue initially, before she gets on stage personally to "walk" Melissa through the process and ends up taking over the performance, with Melissa leaving the stage before the song was over.
