Alice has something to ask of Bob. Maybe it's to borrow a cup of sugar, maybe it's to ask him to baby-sit, maybe it's if he's interested in going out for drinks, maybe she needs his help to carry out a terrorist plot. Whatever the favor, Alice wholly anticipates that Bob will turn her down — she anticipates it so thoroughly that the moment Bob gives his answer, she launches into a spiel designed to hector or persuade him away from saying "no", completely missing the fact that Bob in fact said yes! It may take several moments, or several interruptions from Bob, before it catches up with her that he's actually agreed. A Comedy Trope that is sort of verbal Double Take. Characters with No Listening Skills are prone to exercise this trope. |

A Night at the Roxbury: The Butabi brothers (mostly Steve) have a moment like this. After finally making it into the eponymous club, the two are approached by a pair of gold diggers and immediately ask them to dance. They are so accustomed to rejection that when the girls say 'yes', Steve launches into a 'see you later' before being made to realize what just happened. | |

The Simpsons: A variation happens in "Homer At The Bat": Mr. Burns and another nuclear plant owner, Aristotle Armandopolis of Shelbyville, pit their plants' baseball teams against each other. Burns suggests a wager. Armandopolis offers to bet a million dollars. Burns mocks the wager, and then realizes what it is. He apologizes and accepts the bet, explaining he thought his opponent would start small and they'd haggle their way up. There was also "Simpson Safari"P where the family was lost walking through the jungle. Both Bart and Lisa repeat "Are we insane yet?" over and over, until Homer stops, flinches and screams "I already said YES!". In "Fear Of Flying", Homer, banned from Moe's, poses as a pilot to drink at a pilot's lounge. He's selected to fly an airline, and when asked, admits to just posing as a pilot to drink. Cut to Homer being forcibly shoved into the cockpit. In "The Sweetest Apu", Manjula is so used to turning her husband Apu down for sex, she does it even when he doesn't ask (which tips her off he's been cheating on her). |

Parks and Recreation: In the second season finale, Leslie goes to Chris to argue in favor of holding a childrens' concert in spite of budget cuts. Leslie has barely begun her points before he agrees with her. She then explains she wasn't expecting him to say yes so quickly, so he lets her go through her carefully-prepared argument anyway. | |

Star Trek: Picard: In "Broken Pieces", Picard contacts Fleet Admiral Clancy and informs her of what he has learned. He asks her to send a squadron to meet him at a space station and then keeps talking over her to try to convince her to listen to him, unlike the last time they met. Finally, Clancy has had enough and shuts him up before telling him that the squadron will meet him at the station. | |

Yes, Your Grace: Thirteen years before the beginning of the game, King Eryk and Queen Aurelea promised the hand of their oldest daughter to a Radovian bandit named Beyran. In the present day, Beyran has somehow gotten his hands on a large army and wants Eryk and Aurelea to keep their promise, which they really don't want to. Eryk fortunately finds another King who will let him have an army as large as Beyran's if his son marries the daughter who was promised to Beyran. When Eryk tells Aurelea that their oldest daughter is getting married to a proper Prince, it takes Aurelea a few moments to compute that she's being told that her daughter is not marrying Beyran. | |

Popular: In the final moments, we see Brooke storming out of a restaurant with Sam, saying "This isn't what I wanted", concerning an unseen-by-viewers decision by Harrison over who he's going to take to the prom. This prompted viewers to assume that he had picked Sam. Even the Television Without Pity recap said as much, although it also said that others argue that it could have been the other way. Ryan Murphy later revealed that this was (would have been?) the case. | |

A bug caused this in Borderlands 2 for a while. Early in the game, Claptrap attempts to open a door to somewhere at least somewhat warm and sheltered, and fails, leading to a brief monologue about how much it'll hurt when bullymongs take everyone apart. Occasionally, it was known to open just fine, at which point Claptrap would launch into his we're-all-going-to-die monologue anyway. | |

Dungeon Keeper Ami: Ambassador Camilla, as a representative of the Shining Concord Empire, brings a list of requirements before Mercury. These requirements (for the Shining Concord to consider establishing any kind of diplomatic relations with the newly-minted Empress) include a lavish embassy that turns out to be a scaled-down model of their own imperial palace, built at Mercury's expense. Mercury is floored when she realizes that the total cost is greater than eight dungeon hearts (who are implied to cost approximately one ton of gold- each). Camilla is so certain that she will refuse to build such a costly embassy that she is initially confused by Ami's simple agreement. | |

An early clip on Sesame Street had Ernie going over to his neighbor Herbert Birdsfoot to borrow his vacuum, and starting to muse on how Herbert usually takes a bath about this time. He worries about Herbert getting mad over having to get out of the bath and answer the door, and probably bad-mouthing him to his friends, etc. By the time Herbert does answer the door, completely dressed, dry, and in a good mood, Ernie's too worked up to notice. | |

In Gundam Build Fighters Try, Sekai and Fumina confront Miyagi, president of the Model Building Club, to convince him to let Yuuma join their Gunpla Battle Club. Miyagi's agreement flies right over their heads, and Sekai is just about to challenge him to a fight when the realization sinks in. In this case, they expected resistance because Miyagi had been a Sitcom Arch-Nemesis in the previous two episodes, but didn't realize that his getting a girlfriend (fellow Model Club member Eri Shinoda) would completely mellow him out. | |

When Radu the Handsome is revealed as The Man Behind the Man and announces "I am ...Dracula!", he immediately goes into a rant about how he's as much the "Son of the Dragon" as his brother and perfectly entitled to call himself that. Jeperson reflects that he's so used to making that speech, it hasn't occurred to him that the guy with the guns can call himself whatever he likes. | |

Relativity: In "Bajo el Muérdago," one of the subplots involves Ravenswood and Melody being given a chance to purchase some delicious South American coffee for their shop; the downside is that it will involve going into a partnership with the dictator who runs the country. Melody is so sure that establishing ties with a dictator would be a bad move, that when Ravenswood tells her they should she at first thinks he actually said no. | |

Homestuck: Caliborn is both obsessed with dominance games and not particularly perceptive. As such, when he wants Dirk to draw some smut for him, he's so invested in the idea of forcing someone else to do what he wants that he doesn't register that Dirk just agreed to do it to get it over with, and spends the rest of the conversation acting as though he's making Dirk do this against his wishes despite the other's unemotional agreement. | |

The Order of the Stick: Our heroes are arrested after accidentally destroying a Gate holding back the Sealed Evil in a Can. Fortunately, they manage to get a "not guilty" verdict, though it's clear they weren't expecting it. Amusingly, while the rest of the cast does manage to take "yes" for an answer once they get over the Double Take, Haley Starshine, temporarily cursed to be The Unintelligible, launches into a detailed rant about why they should have been found guilty under any sane legal code. She's right. The trial was rigged in their favor by a local lord with his own agenda. Also happens in the prequel book On the Origin of PCs, when Roy is trying to hire party members in a tavern. After receiving a "No" from at least thirty adventurers, in comes Haley Starshine. Roy begins thanking her for listening and saying he understands, before realizing she actually said "Yeah, OK". |

In one of the scambaiting videos done by Atomic Shrimp, rather than stringing along his current mark, he immediately replied to their first email with “sure, where can I send the payment?”, continuing to ask this as the scammer ran through their script. The result was a scammer that was completely thrown off their game - even when they finally provided a payment link (several emails in), they seemed to be extremely reluctant in doing so. | |

Having clearly lost several rounds of this argument already, he's so determined to make his case that it takes him a minute to realize that this time the General is saying yes. This happens to Daniel a few times when he underestimates the General's intelligence. In another episode, he's ready to go in with rhetorical guns ablazin' to convince Hammond to act on a tip he got from a Prophetic Dream, when the General agrees instantly on the basis that that's hardly the weirdest thing he's heard while in command of the SGC. |

In DM of the Rings, Éowyn asks to join the Fellowship; in the original novels and the movies, Aragorn says no (or rather, that it's not his place to say), but Aragorn's player instead says yes. However, one of the major Running Gags of this comic is that the Game Master is heavily Railroading the plot; instead of rolling with Aragorn's response, he has Éowyn play out the scene from the original novel by reciting both her dialog and what he wants Aragorn to say, completely ignoring what Aragorn's player is actually saying. This results in her arguing with herself about her desires versus her duties, all while the Fellowship writes her off as a madwoman and leaves her behind anyway. She later shows up in the Final Battle, to the confusion of many. | |

Carmen is completely opposed to letting her daughter leave the country, being still a child. She's sure that, without her authorization, Patito would seek Leandro's. So Carmen go to see him first, who does not know anything and does not understand what is she so angry about. And once she has explained, so angry because he would authorize Patito, he says "it's crazy!". Climatic music gets interrupted, and Carmen suddenly does not know what to say. Leandro agrees with her: it would be crazy to let a girl his age to leave the country just with a friend. | |

M*A*S*H: One episode has Radar reacting this way when he asks a new nurse to go out with him, and she agrees to. An earlier episode has half the camp coming down with the flu, including Colonel Blake and Major Burns. At one point Major Houlihan tells Hawkeye that, as ranking officer among the well, she should be in charge rather than him. Hawkeye, who couldn't care less about being in charge, immediately agrees, but she keeps stating her case (seeming to believe that Hawkeye is mocking her/being sarcastic), leading him to invoke the trope name. |

My Hero Academia has a thoroughly non-comedic version: Hero Killer Stain has such Black-and-White Insanity that Iida admitting Stain's criticisms of society, and Iida specifically, were correct completely throws him off his game because he can't accept that someone he hated might actually improve themselves. | |

As he begins to leave, he realizes his mistake and asks, "Were you just going to let me leave?" Dave nods mischievously, having fully expected him to not listen (he is the Spaz, after all). | |

The West Wing: Blonde Republican Sex Kitten Ainsley Hayes has been invited to the White House to meet with Chief of Staff Leo McGarry. Expecting she's going to be chewed out for having beaten Sam on a talking-heads TV show, she begins defending herself, not stopping to notice that Leo has just offered Ainsley a job. When she does figure that out (lampshaded with Leo's "here it comes..."), she starts objecting to the offer despite wanting it pretty much more than anything else in life: | |

In The Fairly OddParents! Wishology trilogy, Timmy is forced to go to Crocker for help with the Darkness. Crocker gives the condition that he must admit he has fairies. Timmy admits he does immediately, sending Crocker on a rant of "no use denying it" before he realizes what's been said. He's disappointed it was so anti-climatic, but keeps his word. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Used in the episode "Applebuck Season". Applejack tries to harvest all the apples in her orchard by herself, only to run herself ragged and cause chaos in town due to her sleep-deprived state. At several different junctures, Twilight Sparkle entreats Applejack to get some help, only to be rebuffed each time. Finally, after Applejack faints from realizing that she was barely half-done when she thought she was completely finished, Twilight begins another plea for Applejack to get some help, and Applejack agrees. Twilight, fully expecting Applejack to keep being stubborn, continues with "I won't take no for an answer," before she realizes what Applejack said. Used again in "Trade Ya!" Rainbow Dash attempts to trade her "lucky horseshoe" for a rare book that she wants. The book trader doesn't want it, but rather wants something from the mythical beasts stall. Thus begins a Chain of Deals, with Rainbow offering her horseshoe for the item the previous pony wanted, only to be turned down. When the pony trading for one item in the chain, a crystal chalice, says she just wants "an old, slightly rusted horseshoe", Rainbow walks off in despair, wondering where she'll get something like that, before realizing what just happened. In "Make New Friends but Keep Discord", Twilight has a delayed reaction after Celestia tells her she thinks this was the most fun Gala in years; she pursues her apologies before registering what the Princess said. |

Top Gear: In one episode, James May gives an ultimately negative review of the Aston Martin Virage, a car that was billed as a healthy middle-ground between "entry-level, dilettante sports car" and "dedicated track monster" but, due to being tested at the Nürburgring, skews too heavily towards the latter for his tastes, to the detriment of ride quality. May then turns to the normally power-obsessed Jeremy Clarkson, clearly expecting him to defend the car's track-oriented performance... and completely fails to acknowledge that Clarkson (who'd started to get on a bit and might appreciate a good city tourer) was agreeing with him at every turn: | |

When he, subsequently, talks to Dulcinea about it and tries to convince her that the smell is not coming from him, she responds by stating that she knows it's not him. Puss responds by strongly insisting that the smell isn't coming from him, before breaking down and claiming it is him. Dulcinea, then, carefully tries to get him to stop sulking and listen to her, before shaking some sense into him. | |

The Demolished Man: A non-comedic version of this is what basically sets the plot into motion. The protagonist is so convinced that a hated business rival will refuse his offer to merge their firms that he literally cannot see that the coded answer he gets is actually an agreement and thus starts to plot the man's murder. Different from most other cases here in that the misunderstanding is only cleared up weeks after he has already succeeded. It's more complicated than that: his mental disorder makes him think the answer is no in order to justify doing what he wanted to do, kill his father. | |

Dracula walks in, and Mavis starts her tirade for real, not noticing when her father calmly says "OK". However, it's all a trick. He wants Mavis to see the human world for real and decide to stay at the castle of her own will by creating a fake human village with his zombie lackeys dressed as humans with torches and pitchforks. | |

Frasier: Played a good deal more seriously in a later episode. Niles has a minor tooth ache which he mentions in jest has a very small chance of being caused by a severe heart condition. When a series of increasingly improbable occurrences keep happening around him, he becomes paranoid that he may in fact have a problem, though this fear is initially Played for Laughs. When he goes to get a checkup, he seems afraid right up until the doctor gives him his results, when he immediately seems to relax and mention how relieved he is... until he realizes that the doctor has just told him that he does have a heart condition, and will require serious surgery. | |
