In this promotional comic strip ◊ for Punch-Out!! Wii, Piston Hondo is practicing Zen meditation when he is hit with a realization of what the ultimate key to victory is.(Piffany points out that it's "something they're sensitive about".) We're never shown what it is, but it causes the sorceress to burst out laughing, and she can hardly look at a man again without cracking up, now that she knows. Piffany convinces her that women can know the secret just fine, so she reads it. One short story from Nodwick had the party try to reclaim the scroll of "That Which Man Was Not Meant To Know" (on pain of causing the reader's head to explode), which was taken by the sorceress She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed.He announces "I've got it! The meaning of life is." He's interrupted by a buzzer from the sky and a voice that says "I'm sorry, your answer must be phrased in the form of a question." The wise man from Hägar the Horrible is seen sitting on his mountaintop meditating when he suddenly has a revelation.When they do, it turns out he's wearing shades underneath. Beetle Bailey: Sarge and the Captain once conspire to see Beetle's eyes by scaring him so that his hat will jump off.Stephan Pastis: ( looking at the comic) Stupid liquid paper. What is that stupid accent you guys have?Ī Croc: Oh.
Zebra: You know, I've been wanting to ask you this for a while. If this becomes a Running Gag, it's the Noodle Incident.Ī Croc: Hullo, zeeba neighba. Usually done for comedic effect, since it's a good way to create outrageous Backstory without having to make it fit continuity. only we're frustrated again.Ī last type of Unreveal is the "you know the rest" gag: A character is giving historical information to another character, and ends by saying "you know the rest," even though the viewer does not. Another weapon in the Unreveal arsenal is the end-of-episode cutoff.Ī special case of Un-Reveal is when we think that the info withheld in an Unreveal earlier in the episode is finally going to be revealed now. If the character about to make the reveal is interrupted by some external incident before he could talk, it's a Moment Killer.Ī Sound-Effect Bleep can be used to create an Unreveal. If The Reveal is canceled because the revealer suddenly dies, it's His Name Is. but there's no reveal in the end.Ĭan be either frustrating or hilarious, depending on how badly the viewer wants the reveal, and how far the viewer was strung along expecting it. It appears that The Reveal is being set up.
