Noodle Incident: Difference between revisions

Compare [[Second Hand Storytelling]], [[Take Our Word for It]], [[Cryptic Background Reference]], [[Noodle Implements]], [[That Mysterious Thing]], [[What Did I Do Last Night?]]. Reminiscing about a '''Noodle Incident''' by the people involved can result in [[Lost in Transmission]] for an outsider. Compare and contrast [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]], where the off-screen incident would have been better on-screen. See also [[Cow Tools]]. Enough such incidents create a character who has [[Seen It All]]. If a '''Noodle Incident''' is essential to solving a mystery, it's a [[Riddle for the Ages]]. If it results in the person/people involved being banished from wherever it happened, they've become [[Persona Non Grata]]. See also [[Great Offscreen War]]. Contrast [[Oblivious Mockery]], where characters talk about an event they don't know happened but the ''viewer'' does (most of the time). Should not be confused with [[Cut Short]], which is where a new instalment was intended to be made after leaving things to leave room for it, but it gets cancelled.
