lol, I had forgotten about that. Kinda reminds me of the exchange from Super Troopers
Will you just order a large, Farva?
-I don't want a large farva. I want a goddamn litre o' cola!
Less of a non-sequitur, but based on a similar misunderstanding (kinda).

In 'All That Jazz' when Ann Reinking and Erzsébet Földi are doing a routine for Roy Scheider, near the end there's a pause in the song and Reinking looks at Scheider and says 'pretty pictures' in the gap, it seems significant but I've no idea why.

this one is music but I'll still count it. the song "Alive" by Beastie Boys has this line:
"Now here's a little something that you might not like/my DJ's name is Mix Master Mike"
Why would anyone not like Mix Master Mike? did he have some kind of weird history I'm not aware of? or is it the name "Mix Master Mike" itself you may not like? for some reason I keep thinking about it

I would assume that he is saying it confrontationally to other rappers - "you can't rap over Mixmaster Mike beats because we have him."

my brother and I often quote the extra playing the dad who screams "ya gotta TAG him DUMMYYYYY" in Bad News Bears all the time.
and often go around singing the Tony Clifton rendition of "Volare" from Man on the Moon.

The original tv version of Up The Junction was on BBC last night and seemed to be full of them. Seemed like whoever wrote the dialogue lifted comments from overheard conversation and put them in actors mouths.

Xp I think Verhoeven satirised the gung ho aspects of 50s sci fi. Haven't read the original book so can't say how bad it is for that.But do think there is a lot of intentional humour in the film. Not sure to what extent the politics reflect Verhoeven's own, I don't think it's like a Red Dawn or something.
― Stevolende, Thursday, 19 January 2023 09:00 (one year ago) link
Super Troopers is Verhoeven’s best satire for sure

on It's Always Sunny there's a scene where they see a quack doctor named "Dr. Jinx" who is, for some reason, played by P. Diddy. when they walk into his house "The Right Stuff" by New Kids on the Block is playing loudly. One of them describes their symptoms and he goes "I got something that will make you feel better". and then he picks up a bass and starts playing "The Right Stuff"

That’s awesome, thanks! Had no recollection of it. Sorry if I’m literal-minded, but is it really a non sequitur?
― Looking For Mr. Goodreads (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 28 June 2023 14:17 (ten months ago) link
I thought that as soon as I posted it. It's "a conclusion or statement that does not logically follow from the previous statement," except that it does in Steve's mind, it's just a conflation of meanings. So I dunno...
― Three Rings for the Elven Bishop (Dan Peterson), Wednesday, 28 June 2023 14:27 (ten months ago) link
Non sequiturs can be responses that have nothing to do with the conversation or flawed conclusions “based” on what preceded them.
So yes, I think so.

There's an SCTV sketch about an expensive French restaurant where celebrity gourmands, such as Orson Welles, go to have their most elaborate culinary fantasies realized; wherein the maitre-d' makes the bilingual non-pun "Mr. Welles likes his coq-au-vin prepared with real cocoa".

That joke was also in a Three's Company episode, where Chrissy made dinner and Jack (who was a cook) says "That's the first time I've had coq-au-vin made with cocoa."
