When Bob asks a question and the answer to the question is actually part of it. At first Bob doesn't realise this, but after a moment of reflection (expect a Beat or even a Beat Panel) he realises that he just answered his own question. Bob will then often remark something along the lines of "Right." or "Forget I asked". Sometimes Alice will point it out to him. If Bob doesn't realize what he just did, there's a good chance that Alice will point it out anyway. The Ditz will use a more basic version of the trope, asking how to spell "ABC" or how to call 911. A variation of this trope is when Alice is discussing something, making a presumption Bob doesn't agree with. Bob will ask an either/or question, restating Alice's presumption and an alternative that would normally be reasonable. Alice and Bob will pause a moment, often burst out laughing and continue with Alice's original discussion as if nothing had happened. Differs from a rhetorical question in that Bob actually expects an answer when posing the question. Compare Is the Answer to This Question "Yes"?, Ask a Stupid Question..., Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!. |

Anyone who's ever worked in a fast food restaurant is very familiar with this trope. "Does the double bacon cheeseburger have bacon?" "What's the difference between the 3-piece and 5-piece chicken nuggets?" Quite a few of these questions are catalogued on Not Always Right. In many cases, the customers in these stories are so oblivious they never realize they've fallen into this trope. | |

Kim Possible: Dr. Drakken is surprised to hear about a connection between one of the classmates who laughed at him in college and his arch-nemesis: "Wait, you mean Dr. Possible and Kim Possible are related?" He tries to cover for his oversight by insisting that "Possible" is a very common surname and trying to "prove" it with a phone book. In the Christmas Episode, Ron asks the operator "What's the number for 9-1-1?" |

When Grace is wondering whether Justin would have noticed his magic mark: "How could he miss a small flame shaped mark colored slightly different from the rest of his skin on a spot high up his back where he'd probably need a mirror and probably have to make a deliberate effort to dammit" When Diane gets to school the morning after she got a haircut and decides to dress less provocative than usual, she isn't immediately recognized and she hears her schoolmates talk about her. Most of them seem to consider her nothing but a promiscuous bimbo. As one of the girls remarks. |
