she always manages to hit someone else.

When a very young child says something loudly in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner…

The refrigerator always…

Late

withstands nuclear explosions.

When someone sees their SO talking with an attractive member of the opposite sex…

…conceals someone who appears behind the open door and scares the crap out of you when the door is closed.
Whenever someone is shown coughing, they will…

When someone sees their SO talking with an attractive member of the opposite sex… conceals someone who appears behind the open door and scares the crap out of you when the door is closed.

Heh. Nice.

Whenever someone is shown coughing, they will… be dead within half an hour.

In a contemporary war movie, what three things would happen to any one who dares to mention his family or shows a photograph of his young daughter “who is waiting back home” for him?

  1. The photo will blow out of his hands and down the line, signaling . . .

  2. that the little girl is home on her knees at her bedside saying a prayer for Daddy, who right at this minute . . .

  3. is being blown out of his boots.

Giant monsters are never hurt by bullets or conventional weapons fire, but they always…

Giant monsters are never hurt by bullets or conventional weapons fire, but they always…

…but they always have a fatal weakness which their Alien Overlords never thought of, like being allergic to water.

If someone dreamed that their friends and her are all going to die…

…they will, no matter how hard she tries to convince them that they’re in grave danger.

When a tough cop is reading someone his Miranda rights…

…then the same music that was in the background of the dream sequence will be playing when the group is actually in danger, letting the audience know This Is When Bad Things Are Going To Happen.

Our Hero is on his way to an important meeting in a large American city. He’s driving his car and he’s late. But just when he gets to the building where the meeting is to be held…

…the framed hero will be desperately trying to convey something to him, to no avail.
