** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnS9M03F-fA Here's Baez performing "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down"]] on ''Series/TheMidnightSpecial'' in the '70s. Note her rather miffed reaction to the audience's failure to sing along on the chorus.

** Invoked InUniverse in the Christopher Durang play 'Identity'. The main character recounts a story of seeing Peter Pan in her childhood, but after the audience claps to save Tinkerbell, Peter Pan shouts at them, "You didn't clap hard enough!

* Intentionally done with the "What do points mean?" gag on ''Radio/ImSorryIHaventAClue'', in which the chairman either has a ridiculously long definition, or replaces the question with a ''different'' call-and-response catchphrase.

At some point, however, the audiences decided they were just going to shout out "PRIZES!" regardless.
