** The episode "Dream Machine" shows Dexter having a nightmare where, while Dee Dee is positively ''acing'' a test where her question is "[[TheMeaningOfLife What is the purpose of meaning]]?" (which she solves using [[EEqualsMCHammer a mess of complicated-looking equations]] that have Albert Einstein looking on in awe), he's struggling with a test whose sole question is "2+2=___".

* The ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' episode "The Big Cheese" has Dexter preparing for a French test by wearing a device and placing a French-language record inside it while he sleeps, [[SleepLearning allowing him to memorize the French phrases]]. However, it gets stuck on the phrase "omelette du fromage" (which means "cheese omelette"), and the next day, it's the only thing he can say. When he goes to school, his French teacher tells the class the exam is one question, asking "How do you say 'cheese omelette' in French?"

* Played for laughs in ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'''s "Celebrity ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}''" sketches, where the celebrities' ineptitude cause the categories and clues to become increasingly childish and easy (, with such examples as "Animal Sounds" ("This is the sound a doggy makes."[[note]](which Sean Connery answers with "Moo", because "that's the sound [[YourMom your mother]] made last night.")[[/note]]), "How Many Fingers Am I Holding Up?", "Words That Rhyme with 'Dog'", and "Batman or Robin". Even when the category all but gives it away, the celebrities are never able to provide the correct responses; for instance, "Colors That End In 'urple'" contained the blatantly easy clue "This color ends in 'urple'." Cue Hillary Swank (Creator/JimmyFallon) guessing "light urple". "Final Jeopardy!" always consists of Alex Trebek (Creator/WillFerrell), sick of the celebrities, telling them to write down something simple, [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption only to see them bungle that, too]].

* ''{{Literature/Discworld}}'': In ''Literature/MovingPictures'', Victor Tugelbend, to remain a student in [[WizardingSchool Unseen University]] indefinitely ([[LoopholeAbuse which he wants to do to continue getting money from his dead uncle's estate]]), has been repeatedly almost but not quite passing his final exam. The faculty get tired of this and [[MurphysLaw try]] to give him a special final exam with one question: "What is your name?".
