Bob the rock star is ready to wow the crowd with his hip brand of radical rap-rock-metal fusion. He calmly walks onto the stage. The crowd remains in an eager silence. He takes slow, echoing steps towards his personal, Jimi Hendrix signed microphone. His hand reaches out to grasp it. A light but dramatic cough, and... "Hey, Is This Thing On?" *tap tap tap* "Testing, testing, 1-2-3...". Not to be confused with Is This Thing Still On?, though the two are vaguely similar. Examples of Is This Thing On? include:

"Hey, Is This Thing On?" *tap tap tap* "Testing, testing, 1-2-3...". Okay, so it's rarely that dramatic. But 9 times out of 10, you can bet any character, no matter how experienced with electrical sound equipment, WILL utter this phrase. You've probably Seen It a Million Times, probably even in real life. For some reason the microphone will always feedback for a moment. Unfortunately, because of a case of TV Never Lies, many people will often do this in Real Life, thinking this is the normal way to test a microphone. Doing so actually damages the microphone, and the AV technicians running the show will probably get really frustrated at you. If feedback DOES occur, the AV will become even more frustrated. Despite this fact, all forms of media still use this trope, misleading the common people to think that it is the proper way to check a mic.
