* In Chapter 26 of ''I Don't Know Which is Love'', Mei meets Chiharu, a friend Mei had a crush on until Chiharu announced she had a boyfriend, for the first time in a while. When Mei asks how things are going with Chiharu's boyfriend, Chiharu says, "...The truth is..." with her bangs hiding her eyes as if to ominously suggest that things are not going well, before cheerfully continuing, "It's going super well!"

Comedic uses of this trope can often involve ComicallyMissingThePoint and/or SkewedPriorities, with the audience and the listener expecting the speaker to say the sensible thing, only for them to say something that dashes those hopes..

* The ''Bad Kitty'' book series includes a line of picture books that begin with the phrase ''Bad Kitty Does NOT Like...'' The first lines of ''Bad Kitty Does NOT Like Thanksgiving'' read "Kitty does not like Thanksgiving. Kitty LOVES Thanksgiving. Kitty loves Thanksgiving for one reason- TURKEY!"

** As the crew sails away from Little Garden, with Eternal Pose that will show them the way to Alabasta, Nami falls ill with a life-threatening illness. Vivi is faced with a SadisticChoice- go straight to Alabasta to end her homeland's civil war as quickly as possible or find a doctor to save her friend's life. Vivi apologizes to the crew for her selfishness, saying that she needs to get to Alabasta as quickly as possible... then says that they're going to find a doctor for Nami, since they need their navigator well in order to get to Alabasta quickly.

--->'''Orson:''' Ha! Ha! Booker, you are so naive. See? It says "No deposit, no refund".\\

-->''Olivia:''' Reminds me of the incident with the neighbor's cat and little Austin. He cried so hard, poor thing!\\

* Happens ''constantly'' on ''Series/BurkesLaw'' (especially in the 1994 revival). In the final act, Burke will get all the suspects together and go to each one, saying something that sounds like they're about to be arrested for the murder...then reveal it's just something minor or even better.
-->'''Burke''': You're about to get just what you deserve...the money the victim owed you just came in.
-->'''Burke''': You better call a lawyer...to handle those traffic violations you've racked up.
** Nicely played with in "Who Killed the Hollywood Headshrinker?" as Burke does the usual bit...then arrests ''all of them'' as EverybodyDidIt.

* Done negatively by Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, who says things like:
-->''... you've been a great audience; for me to poop on!''
-->''On a scale from one to ten; how old is [[Music/MichaelJackson Michael]]'s boyfriend.''

** and from the same episode:

* ''Series/ParksAndRecreation''
--> '''Leslie:''' Can I speak to you about a personal matter?\\
'''Ron:''' Normally no. But given there's only 20 minutes until the end of human existence... also no.
** Also:
--->'''Leslie:''' Look, I don't like to throw around the word "butthead" often. If you call everyone a butthead, it kind of loses its impact. But I can say, without hesitation... that Tom is being a real dick.
* Very common in competition cooking shows. For example, "I have one big complaint about your dish... I can't stop eating it!" shows up a few times on ''Series/MasterChef''.
** Master Chef does it ''all the time'' especially with regard to who's getting on the show during auditions, or who's being eliminated. One notable example was bringing a contestant's family in...so he could say goodbye because he was going to the show.
* ''Series/HellsKitchen'' another Gordon Ramsay cooking competition reality show, also invokes this constantly. You can now assume, with rather high certainty, that whoever Ramsay initially mentions during his "announce who's eliminated" speech, will end up being safe.
* In ''Series/TopGearUK'', the presenters often speak this way when introducing the ''Top Gear'' Stuntman.
-->'''Richard Hammond:''' However, there has to be a person ''inside'' the car while it's rolling. And that person is going to be me... introducing you to our stuntman, Steve.\\
'''James May:''' Over the years, he's taken quite a few knocks, and there isn't a movie director who hasn't asked for him... to be thrown off the set. ''Film/{{Ronin|1998}}'', ''Film/TheRock'', ''Film/TheBourneIdentity'': these are just a few of the films he hasn't worked on.
* In an episode of ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', Ted is on a date with a girl [[CueCardPause who keeps drinking wine midsentence]]. She keeps saying things that can be perceived as racist remarks, confessions of fratricide, etc., then finishes the sentence after the wine sip so that it takes on a completely different meaning. As Ted is imagining literal baggage appear around the room every time she says something and it disappears when she finishes her sentence, the scene culminates with her saying something particularly bad and a suitcase appears labeled "LET HER FINISH HER DRINK, TED."
** By the time she says "That reminds me, I killed my brother (''sip'') with this joke I told him", it's hard to believe she's not doing it on purpose.

* The live-action segment of ''Series/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'' had one episode where the President ate a pizza at Mario and Luigi's place (No, really). He said it wasn't good. It was GREAT!
* A RunningGag in the later seasons of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' was to boast of a given film's or actor's pedigree, only to hang on the seemingly last syllable and then finish the sentence with something mundane or unflattering:
-->''"He studied under Lee Strasberg...'s car."''
-->''"An Actor Prepares...to '''suck'''."''
-->''"He trained with Creator/BruceLee...bowitz."''
-->''"Cinematography by Haskell Wexler...'s cat."''
-->''"He's read Uta Hagen's 'Respect for Acting'... like an imbecile."''
-->''"Boy, I hope they end up together... at the bottom of a well, torn apart by '''animals!'''"''
-->''"That scene really makes me think... about how much better a '''root canal''' would be than this movie!"''

* In one of the last episodes of ''Series/{{Friends}}'', Joey asks how he managed to lose 50 coin tosses against Rachel in a row. "It was heads she wins, tails I lose!" The others stare at him as he [[LateToTheRealization slowly figures out]]... that he forgot to pick up his dry-cleaning.

* In ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'': "Sticks and stones will break my bones... but words will hurt forever."

* From the "Oscars 2013" episode of Creator/{{E}}'s ''Fashion Police.''
-->'''Creator/JoanRivers''': "Creator/ReneeZellweger won't be making her next movie until the fall. There's no joke. I just wanted to give you the good news."
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
** In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E9TheWish The Wish]]", The Master is giving a NewEraSpeech to his vampire underlings.
--->"[[IndustrializedEvil Behold the technical wonder]] which is about to alter the very fabric of our society. Some have argued that such an advancement goes against our nature. They claim that death is our art. I say to them... well, I don't say anything to them because I kill them."
** In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E16Doppelgangland Doppelgangland]]", Vampire Willow assures a victim she's about to bite on that, "You don't have to be afraid...[[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming just to please me]]."
** In "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E11Doomed}} Doomed]]", when Spike tries and fails to stake himself due to Xander and Willow's [[InterruptedSuicide timely interruption]], Xander angrily takes the stake away from him, saying that they've shared a lot, and that Spike should have trusted him... [[NoSympathy to do it for him]].
** In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E4Flooded Flooded]]", when Buffy realises she is broke, Anya suggests she charge for saving people.
--->'''Buffy:''' That seems like an idea...[[StealthInsult you would have]].
** Buffy does this in "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E14Crush}} Crush]]", when Spike makes his AnguishedDeclarationOfLove and begs her to give him even the slightest hint that there may be a chance of them being together. Buffy lowers her voice and beckons him closer.
--->'''Buffy''': Spike... [''Spike leans in hopefully''] the only chance you had with me was [[DudeShesLikeInAComa when I was unconscious.]]
** Xander in "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E18Intervention}} Intervention]]".
--->"Spike, Buffy has lots of friends, and we love her very much, and we’ll do whatever it takes to protect her. And if that happens to involve killing you; well...that's a bonus."
** Season 9:
---> '''Willow:''' "If you think that sweet talk will make me feel better, you're completely and unabashedly right."
* ''Series/{{Angel}}'':
** In "[[Recap/AngelS03E04CarpeNoctem Carpe Noctem]]", Angel is giving an apparent PatrickStewartSpeech to the villain, saying he might have all the power, but the one thing he'll never have is friends. "Four of them. Standing behind you holding big, heavy things." The villain whirls round, only to get clubbed unconscious by the rest of Team Angel.
** The gang walk into Angel's office, only to find he's been turned into a puppet by a curse. Fred exclaims, "Oh my god, Angel, you're...you're...[[BadassAdorable cute!]]"
** In Season 3, Wesley believes a prophecy that claims that Angel will kill his newborn son Connor and conspires with Angel's old enemy Holtz to spirit the baby away for his safety. The end result: Holtz double-crosses Wesley, and he ends up in the hospital with a SlashedThroat while Holtz escapes with Connor into the hell dimension Quor'toth, and Angel tries to kill Wesley in the hospital in a rage. Fred is the only one who visits Wesley in the hospital to offer sympathy, only to give him a WhatTheHellHero speech, stating that while she understands what Wesley was trying to do and believes Angel was in the wrong for trying to kill him, she nonetheless agrees with Angel that what happened to Connor is his fault, since they're supposed to be friends, and yet he decided to go to Holtz behind their backs rather than simply trusting them; she concludes by dropping the bombshell that the prophecy was a fake and [[ShootTheShaggyDog Wesley's actions were all for nothing]].
** After years of absence, Lorne returns home and has a touching reunion with his mom.
--->'''Mother:''' I've often prayed that I might look upon your face. (spits in Lorne's face) You have shamed our clan and betrayed our kind!
** PlayedForDrama when Cordelia has a vision of a domestic homicide in the middle of giving Wesley advice on his love life.
--->'''Cordelia:''' Wesley, if you like her, ''tell'' her. Just go right up to her and ''HACK HER INTO LITTLE PIECES!''\\
''[[[FaintingSeer Collapses from a vision]] of a man hacking his wife to death]''
* ''[[Series/ICPTheater Insane Clown Posse Theater]]'': While watching Music/MichaelJackson's "Black or White" video.
-->'''VIOLENT J''': "Would I let my kids hang out with Michael Jackson? No. ''[{{Beat}}]'' Because I'D want to hang out with Michael Jackson!"
* ''Series/{{Farscape}}''. Used for ShipTease between Crichton and Chiana thanks to her distinctive form of speaking. "I would love you...to come with me, but..."
* In ''Series/TheBasilBrushShow'', just after Mr. Steven gives away a large sum of money that wasn't his (thus forfilling the moral lesson for the episode) that could have allowed him to go to the Maldeeves, Basil comes out with this little gem...
--> '''Basil:''' You know, sometimes my admiration for Mr Steven (beat) goes ''right through the bleeding floor!''
* One 1997 sketch by Creator/RoryBremner imagined UsefulNotes/TonyBlair making a victory speech to his supporters, and paying tribute to the woman who inspired him. We're led to think it's his wife... until he names her as UsefulNotes/MargaretThatcher.
* ''Series/{{Community}}'':
-->'''Abed''': I hate twins. The way they always know what the other's\\
'''Troy''': Thinking.\\
'''Abed''': And always finish each other's\\
'''Troy''': Pie.\\
'''Abed''': Exactly.
* Done on ''Series/TheDrewCareyShow'' when Larry Almada takes over as manager of Winfred-Louder.
-->'''Mimi''': That's right, when you say "jump" I say "how high... would I have to be to take orders from you?"
* ''Series/GameOfThrones''.
** Jaime Lannister is hauled up before Lord Roose Bolton who [[EvilIsPetty decides to mess with his head]] after Jaime asks for news of his family.
--->"You haven't heard...? Stannis Baratheon laid siege to King's Landing. Sailed into Blackwater Bay. Stormed the gates with thousands of men. And your sister... How can I put this... your sister... ''[agonizingly long pause]'' ...is alive and well. Your father's forces prevailed." ''[Jaime faints]''
** PlayedForDrama when [[TheCaligula King Joffrey]] pretends he's going to show mercy to Lord Eddard Stark, by saying that his mother and Sansa have asked him to let Eddard join the Night's Watch in lieu of being executed. He sounds as though he agrees with them, but then...
-->'''Joffrey''': But they have the soft hearts of women. So long as I am your king, treason shall never go unpunished. Sir Ilyn, bring me his head!
** Discussed when Benjen Stark says that nothing in a sentence matters before the word "but".
** Sansa in Season 7 finale:
--->-- '''Sansa''' ''[to Arya]'':[[spoiler:You stand accused of murder and treason. How do you answer,]] [[spoiler:[[ManipulativeBastard Lord Baelish]]]]?
* ''Series/DoctorWho''. In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E12DeathInHeaven Death in Heaven]]" the Doctor is apparently giving his "I am the Doctor" speech, but concludes "I..am... ''an idiot!''", realising despite his AwesomeEgo that he's just a flawed man doing his best.
* ''Series/PersonOfInterest'':
** The show does this a few times, but two stand out. The first is when Root has kidnapped Finch and has just drugged a nearby woman's drink with painkillers:
--->'''Root:''' She'll be okay. In a few months.
** The second is when Root and Finch have [[ItMakesSenseInContext imprisoned a furious Shaw for her own safety]], and Finch tells her that if she leaves, she'll risk getting them all found by the BigBad:
--->'''Shaw:''' Guilt, Harold? Really? Y'know, [[SociopathicHero normally that wouldn't work on me]], but I wouldn't want anything to happen... to the ''[[TeamPet dog]]''.
* In one episode of ''Series/FaceOff'', Glenn (the judge known for [[DeadpanSnarker snarky comments]]) says "I don't like this. I love it." The best part is he said the "I don't like this" with a ''completely'' straight face, giving the impression he was about to tear into the makeup. A Next On clip, in a fine example of ManipulativeEditing, only showed the "I don't like this" and a cut to a ''different'' contestant's unhappy reaction.
* This is common from Simon Cowell on shows he judges on, such as ''Series/AmericasGotTalent''. A typical example:
-->'''Simon''': It wasn't great. ''[audience boos]'' It was incredible.
* In ''Series/OnceUponATime'', in "The Miller's Daughter", young Cora tells Rumple she "thought [she] wanted this", referring to her newfound position as a prince's bride-to-be, as if she were preparing to say power isn't all that great...but continues to add that she realised she found herself fifth in line to the throne, which greatly disappoints her.
* ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'': In "The Benefactor Factor", when Sheldon decides not to go to a fundraiser to get donations for the university, Amy explains to him the consequences of not going, including said donations going to the geology department or liberal arts.
--> '''Sheldon''': Are you trying to scare me? 'Cause you’re succeeding.
** The series is actually pretty fond of these:
--->'''Sheldon''': Did you just say my girlfriend is unattractive?\\
'''Howard''': Yes.\\
'''Sheldon''': Ah, because it wasn't clear.
** Or...
--->'''Amy''': Sheldon, you're a coward!\\
'''Sheldon''': Oh, yeah? Well... that seems to be the case.
* Series/{{Sherlock}} makes one on [[ButtMonkey Anderson]]'s expense in "[[Recap/SherlockS02E03TheReichenbachFall The Reichenbach Fall]]" when they uncover the InvisibleWriting at the boarding school.
-->'''Anderson''': Not much use, it doesn't lead us to the kidnapper.\\

* ''Series/BlakesSeven''. In "[[{{Recap/BlakesSevenS3E5TheHarvestOfKairos}} The Harvest of Kairos]]", Supreme Commander of the Terran Federation Servalan gets a ForcefulKiss from one of her minions. Servalan decides she appreciates his manly audacity and makes him TheDragon.
-->'''Servalan:''' But first, there is the question of that degrading and primitive act to which I was subjected in the control room. ''[{{beat}}]'' I should like you to do it again.

* In ''Series/KimsConvenience'', Mrs. Kim rushes to her son Jung to talk about an "emergency" regarding her daughter Janet's (lack of) love life. The misleading way she delivers this news nearly gives Jung the wrong idea.
-->'''Mrs. Kim:''' She is going to die--!\\
'''Jung:''' ''[looks very worried]''\\
'''Mrs. Kim:''' ... Alone!\\
'''Jung:''' ''[sighs]'' Umma, Janet being single is not a crisis.
* ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'':
** In "My Mother The Car", the family organizes a birthday party for Lucille. They discus if they should invite George-Michael and Maeby. Michael replies "This is a Bluth family gathering. This is no place for children."
** In "Shock And Awww", Michael and Lindsey mistake George-Michael's crush on his teacher as a desire for her to start dating Michael. Lindsey argues that George-Michael needs a mother figure in his life. Michael rebuffs her by saying "He's got you. He's got ''our'' mother. You'd think that would turn him off the whole concept."
* ''Series/RedDwarf''. In "Better Than Life", Rimmer is in a LotusEaterMachine living out his fantasies, like he's become an Admiral and his abusive dad is [[WellDoneSonGuy finally going to approve of him.]]
-->'''Dad:''' I'm sorry to barge in on you and your officer chummies, but...
-->'''Rimmer:''' Yes?
-->'''Dad:''' I just wanted to tell you...
-->'''Rimmer:''' Yes?
-->'''Dad:''' I just wanted to say...you're a total smeghead!
-->'''Rimmer:''' What?! This isn't my fantasy!
-->'''The Cat:''' ''(WalkInChimeIn)'' No, it's mine!
* On the second season of ''Series/TheJoeSchmoShow'', a parody of reality-TV shows in which everyone except the chosen schmoes is an actor, there's a challenge in which the cast members have to do embarrassing things at a dinner or have dark secrets revealed. The dark secret of "Cammy" invented for the series is that she starred a soft-core food-fetish porn video called ''Porked and Beans''. She does not complete her task and therefore her secret gets revealed by having a portion of the video played for the show's cast. Afterwards, host Derek Newcastle (Ralph Garman) comments "I'm sorry we had to see that... ({{Beat}}) on such a small monitor."
* ''Series/MimpiMetropolitan'':
** When Prima hears that Bambang paid fifty thousands rupiah for a ride on motorcycle taxi, Prima tells Bambang that he should have asked Prima to drive him... so Prima can get the fifty thousands rupiah.
** In the beginning of episode 47, Melani answers Juna's asking her to be his girlfriend with an "Of course...". Romantic music plays before stopping because Melani continues with "...not."
** In episode 50, Melani tells Alan she comes to the dorm looking for Bambang. Cue Bambang's happy face and romantic music. Then Melani continues with "and [Alan] too."
** In episode 53, Mami Bibir playfully uses this when talking to Melani (who is worried about Mami Bibir's back) before Melani goes to work.
--->'''Melani:''' Is it okay if I leave you alone?\\
'''Mami Bibir:''' Don't... hestitate.
** When Alexi is angry that Alan calls their work meetings useless in episode 62, Alan assures him that their meeting are useful. As useful as it's lack of result.
* In "Blue Sincerely Reunion" from ''Series/TheFlightAttendant'', when Esteban Diaz moves to hit Max in the face to try to get information out of him, Gabrielle Diaz tells him "Baby, stop," making it seem like she thinks he's going too far. Then...
-->'''Gabrielle''': You're gonna hurt your hand. We have tools for that.
* From ''Series/DragonsDen'', known as ''Shark Tank'' in the U.S., in which owners of companies seek investments in their businesses:
-->'''Peter Jones:''' I don't think it's a bad idea. I think it's a ridiculously ''stupid'', and ''crazy'' idea.
-->'''Deborah Meaden:''' I think you're great, I think it's great, and I think the valuation is ''crazy.''
-->'''Daymond John''': If I invested in this, I'd sleep like a baby. I'd wake up every two hours, crying, and asking my Mommy, "where's my money?"
* In the French-Canadian series ''Series/RadioEnfer'', during the first episode of Season 2, Carl tells Maria about the stuff Léo and Camille did during summer vacation as a couple. He says that Camille managed to "déniaiser"[[note]]a French word that can mean either "to smarten up" or "to lose one's virginity"[[/note]] Léo. Maria thinks Camille made Léo lose his virginity, only for Carl to clarify that Camille made Léo go shopping, much to Maria's disappointment.
* In the ''Series/MurdochMysteries'' episode "Bend it Like Brakenreid", Inspector Brakenreid is coaching his son John for the Olympic soccer team. John favours the new passing game, while his father believes in the tradition of one man kicking the ball up the pitch, and makes John feel that anything else isn't being a Brakenreid. Encouraged by Dr Odgen, John stands up to his father and says there can be more than one kind of Brakenreid. The inspector replies "No, you're wrong. There's only one kind of Brakenreid. The kind that speaks his mind. Now, get out there and pass your way to the Olympic bloody Games."

''(beat)''/\

* There are several [[MemeticMutation Advice-Animal-style memes]] based around this, where the top line follows a stereotype of some sort and the bottom line changes the meaning. For instance, Successful Black Man ("I got Arrested... [[Series/ArrestedDevelopment Development]] on DVD"), Ordinary Muslim Man ("We are going to blow up... a bouncy house for my daughter's birthday"), Almost-PC Redneck ("I fully support the right of my daughter to express her love for her girlfriend in public... [[GirlOnGirlIsHot It's pretty hot]]") or Dating Site Murderer ("I will slice you... a delicious piece of this Thanksgiving turkey").

'''Doc''': My God... Do you know what this means? [''{{Beat}}''] It means that ''this damn thing doesn't work at all!''

* After Batman finds out that Zatanna mindwiped him during the ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis'' story arc and finds it necessary to work with her again:

-->Something tells me Dr. Lancaster never really liked being down here.
-->[[{{Beat}} (beat)]]
-->It was him, he was what told me. All the time. 90% of what he'd talk about at staff drinks.

** Another ''Family Guy'' example.
--->'''Peter:''' Lois! Remember how you always said you wanted a diamond ring?\\
'''Lois:''' Gasp! Oh, Peter!\\
'''Peter:''' That's right I got a horse!

--> "From the bottom of me heart, I'd like to take this chance to apologize...TO ABSOLUTELY NOBODY! THE DOUBLE CHAMP DOES WHAT THE FUCK HE WANTS!!"

"I just got married to a guy who has a five-year-old… mentality."

* ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'': "[[https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2021/01/20/ Father Of The Year]]" has a father tell a reporter that [[SkewedPriorities in the midst of a deadly global pandemic and other chaos, he's most worried about his son playing too much Halo]]. The reporter says, "Sir, this is The New York Times," as if to chide him for wasting their time, but when asked for elaboration, says, "...[[WorstNewsJudgmentEver and we think this is front page material.]]"

* ''Film/BackToTheFuture'': Marty, finding himself stuck in 1955, goes to meet the 1955 version of Doc to get his help to fix the time machine so he can return to 1985. Upon arriving at his house, Marty ends up becoming the subject to Doc's test with a mind-reading device, leading to this exchange:

* In ''WebAnimation/SonicForHire'', during the Casino Zone robbery after [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]] made the mistake of getting caught before the heist, [[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Shredder]] shows up to cut him loose.

-->''... you've been a great audience; [[CatchPhrase for me to poop on!]]''

After all, in that world, the Hulk won't be feared, since he'll be no different than everyone else! The Hulk responds by saying that no, he isn't going to stop the Leader. [[ShutUpHannibal He's going to]] ''[[{{Catchphrase}} smash]]'' [[PreAssKickingOneLiner him]].

** Another example, reporting on [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Mr. Burns]]' death:

** In a moment of frustration at Homer

** Sideshow Bob (who had attempted to kill Bart on several occasions by this point) after catching Bart and Lisa snooping, shows up at their parents' front door.
--->'''Sideshow Bob:''' Madam, your children are no more... than a pair of ill-bred troublemakers.
** [[ZigZaggedTrope Zigzagged]] by Mr Burns' opinion on Marge's portrait of him:
--->'''Mr Burns:''' I don't know much about art...but I know what I hate. And I don't hate this."
** The episode "Lisa the Vegetarian" has Lisa wandering around Springfield seeing people eating meat everywhere she goes. She sees a billboard reading "DON'T EAT BEEF." with a picture of a stern-looking woman in a doctor's uniform. Her face lights up... until the billboard changes to read "EAT DEER." with the same doctor woman preparing to eat a venison steak.

-->'''Homer:''' Didn't you direct "Unnatural Discretion?"
-->'''Director:''' (Delighted) Why yes, I did?
-->'''Homer:''' Phew-wee, phew-wee!! ''[Director looks at homer annoyed]'' You know, I never walk out of a movie, but, [[DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible Euggh]]!'
** When Homer is coaching Bart's football team and cutting a bunch of kids, he turns to one boy and says: "Steven, I like your hustle. That's why it was so hard to cut you."

** When Bart tries out for the role of Fallout Boy in "Radioactive Man", he is thrilled to be told he's the new Fallout Boy... until the director adds "That's what I'd be saying if you weren't an inch too short. Next!" After desperately trying to grow an inch by the next day, he returns to the audition room, upon which the director exclaims "We've found our new Fallout Boy! *Bart gasps* ...And he's right over there. *The director points at Milhouse, standing right behind Bart*" Later on, when Bart and Creator/MickeyRooney try and fail to convince Milhouse to resume his role as Fallout Boy, Rooney says there's no problem because there's a new Fallout Boy right there. The next scene shows ''Rooney'' as Fallout Boy.
