** Unfortunately, what most people don't realize is that this is a case of BeamMeUpScotty; most of Caine's one liners aren't actually quips, simply straightforward, serious statements made in a ridiculously deadpan manner. Only rarely do they fit the spirit of this trope of being ironic or punny.

* Played with on ''TheWire'', in an effort to distinguish itself from traditional cop shows. The pilot opens with [=McNulty=] questioning a witness about a dead kid named "Snot Boogie," a knucklehead who always hung around the local craps games and tried to steal the winnings because he "couldn't help himself." So [=McNulty=] asks why they kept letting him hang around if they knew he was going to grab the cash, and the kid says "You got to. This is America, man." The somber theme song dampens the humor of the moment, but the ''characters'' find it hilarious: [=McNulty=] opens the next scene by re-telling the story to another cop.

Commonly found on detective / mystery series; a frequent (but ''not'' exclusive) use of this is when the detectives make a pithy 'gallows humour' comment about the [[MysteryOfTheWeek crime of the week]] in the ColdOpen, followed by a cut to the credits. The usual purpose is to convey a sense that the detective has seen this level of horror all before, and that he's so used to it he can make a joke about it.
