More clips useful for teaching, suggested by Adam Brandt (Newcastle-upon-Tyne):
- Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm are absolute treasure troves of this kind of thing. The most famous example probably being the ‘close talker’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGVSIkEi3mM
- But there are fleeting moments any time Larry David and/or Jerry Seinfeld are on screen. I love this tiny example, from 5:30-5:35 (this is unscripted): http://comediansincarsgettingcoffee.com/larry-david-larry-eats-a-pancake
- And there is also this, from Family Guy, which I like, on delayed recipiency and pursuing responses…: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNkp4QF3we8
On the close talker see: Gitte Rasmussen, (2014), “Inclined to better understanding—The coordination of talk and ‘leaning forward’ in doing repair”, Journal of Pragmatics, vol. 65, pp. 30-45.
Interesting to read in relation to how the Seinfeld team milk this as a dramatic / comedic device.
