Characters often recall things when it would be just too late to actually use that information. It could be an important code to use on a spy mission, or what not to say to a king when on a diplomatic mission, or what a guy is allergic to when making him dinner. And those things can all be either Played for Laughs or Played for Drama. Also, the audience might be let in on this bit of information, or we might not. The former helps create suspense, while the latter comes as a form of The Reveal. This can overlap with Now You Tell Me if someone forgot information they need to tell someone else.
