Fan Casting Big-Lipped Alligator Moment

Role added by jeremyelcuervo on June 27, 2024

Description of Big-Lipped Alligator Moment:

A Non Sequitur is a bit or line of dialogue that is intentionally out of place, usually designed to elicit a comedic reaction. They have no actual bearing on the plot, although they are staples of characters who are part of their own little world like the Cloudcuckoolander or The Ditz. Springboarding from there, we find the Big-Lipped Alligator Moment, or BLAM (an appropriate term in and of itself, as they tend to show up with all the subtlety of a shotgun blast). This is a very bizarre scene in an otherwise normal story that veers off into the surreal or strange. Upon exiting that scene, the plot continues on like it never happened.
