So, you're watching a Superman movie, and he is in the midst of a great action sequence. He flies past a plane and the point of view switches. Suddenly, you're watching the passengers on the inside of the plane. A voice chirps up on the intercom and says: This is the basic tour guide gag; all the action is happening outside the vehicle, and we hear it explained on the inside of the vehicle. This can also include tours that appear in unlikely places. In those situations, the dialogue is not really necessary. |

Inverted in Airplane!. Captain Oveur wants to distract the passengers from the unconscious co-pilot and navigator being dragged to the back of the plane, so he mentions landmarks that can be viewed while the stewardesses drag the unconscious crew. Unlike other examples, all the action is in the plane, and the stuff outside is a diversion and, giving that the movie is a comedy, it works. | |

The Nostalgia Critic pulls this gag in his Raiders of the Story Arc review of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when the Turtle Van can drive straight to the Technodrome without any problems. Earlier, in Double Dragon (1994) as the heroes in a speedboat sail by a tour boat ("Up to your right, you'll see a shitty movie being made"). For Alaska: "And to your right is a rotting corpse." "OOOOH!" |

Played with in Tachyon: The Fringe. In one mission, you have to babysit a cruiseliner carrying wealthy civilians to sight-see IN SPACE, and protect them from Space Pirate attacks. In the event that enemy fighters attack, you're offered a bonus if you can put on a show for the crowd. The tour guide commentates on your dog fight. | |

Shrek Forever After: One of the annoyances Shrek has to deal with in his now-domesticated life is that his home is now part of a tour route. The green ogre is not amused, especially after the bus accidentally knocks over his outhouse while he's using it. | |

In Toy Story 2, when Andy's toys reach the Barbie aisle of Al's Toy Barn in a toy convertible in search of Al's office, they ask the Barbies if they know where Al is. One of them, Tour Guide Barbie, tells them she can help, and takes over the driver's seat, giving the toys a tour of Al's Toy Barn rather than taking them directly to Al's office as they intended. During the tour, she goes over some rules, such as keeping all arms, legs, and accessories inside the vehicle, no flash photography, and holding all questions until the end of the tour. She shows up again during the very end of the film's blooper reel, saying goodbye to the viewers and reminding them to properly dispose of their trash. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In "Pranks a Lot", while SpongeBob and Patrick are naked, a tour bus passes them with the guide saying "And on your right if you look, you'll see two naked guys fighting over a can of paint!" In "No Pictures Please", Patrick takes a tour guide's hat. He is then mistaken for being an actual tour guide by a new visitor to Bikini Bottom. Patrick shows him various ridiculous sights, such as a hole he dug yesterday and a guy who once called him a bad word. At one point, Patrick says "And if you look to your left... you'll miss everything on your right." And later, when the original tour guide sees Patrick and the tourist again: |

In the Doctor Who story "The Chase", the titular pursuit of the First Doctor and company by a team of time-traveling Daleks includes an encounter with a guided tour of the Empire State Building's observation deck in 1966. The scene is also notable in that just as you're thinking the tour guide's fake Brooklyn accent is really bad, a comedy yokel claiming to be from Alabama is on the tour and starts interacting with the regulars, looking for all the world like he might board the TARDIS and join them in their adventures. (He does, in a way, in that his actor plays a second character later in the story and becomes the next new companion.) | |
