An Adjacency Pair gone wrong
This excerpt is taken from Family Guy. The two characters talking are the reporters on the local news show. Tom says the first part of a well-known adjacency pair and when Diane responds with the normal answer he takes the opportunity to make fun of her. I suspect her answer was the expected one even though he acted as if it weren't. He's such an ass...
Tom Tucker: A bit of breaking news. A local
family is forced out of their home by ghosts. Who are they gonna call?
Diane Simmons (sighs): Ghostbusters, Tom.
Tom Tucker: No, Diane. Their insurance company. That's just stupid what you
said.”
