* ''Series/{{Lost}}'' has had several of these, often involving Hurley. The episode "Catch 22" saw Charlie and Hurley pursuing a downed parachutist through the jungle while discussing who would win a race between Franchise/{{Superman}} and Franchise/TheFlash.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Fanfic/YukakoButCrime'': [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Mista and Fugo]] argued for over thirty minutes whether or not you can buy a company with it's own gift cards. Watching the argument leads Abbachio and [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Yukako]] [[INeedAFreakingDrink sharing a drink (or in Abbachio's case, taking more alchohol)]] from how stupid their teammates' argument is.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Fanfic/ResonanceDays'' has the main quartet of magical girls (and former magical girls) discuss who had the best frilly outfit, hampered slightly by Kyoko and Mami being the only ones who remember what theirs looked like. When Oktavia asks Kyoko what Sayaka's outfit was like, Kyoko responds "cleavage" because she was apparently too busy staring at Sayaka's chest to notice anythign else.

* ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' frequently features the gang engaged in a heated argument about a ludicrous topic in an inappropriate moment, such as discussing the difference between "[[TheBear bears]]" and "{{twink}}s" while in a business meeting. Makes sense, given that ''Always Sunny'' is often called "''Seinfeld'' [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs on crack]]" or (on this wiki) "[[IrishmanAndAJew the Irishman to]] ''[[IrishmanAndAJew Seinfeld's]]'' [[IrishmanAndAJew Jew]]."

* ''Fanfic/SpiderNinja'': While bored on a stakeout, Spider-Ninja and Raphael have a discussion on whether or not web-slinging is the best mode of travel. Petra loves it, Raph doesn't.

* Music/JackStauber uses this in a lot of his animated, non-music based works. One of the most noticeable examples being [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkMYdFsy5nc "Picnic"]].

* In ''Fanfic/TheMorrigan'', Elan and Norea interrupt a war meeting to discuss if the enemy flagship is more like a cow or a horse.

Added DiffLines:

* "Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean" features Foo Fighters, a sentient colony of plankton possessing a corpse, trying to do the opposite of everything their host body did, such as eating the opposite thing at lunch. This then becomes a conversation about what the opposite of pork is, with the lunch lady declaring that the opposite of pork is salmon. In the anime, this was enough to get her a spot in the show's opening.

* ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'': The show's comedy is largely based on the characters having in-depth conversations about trivial topics and daily minutiae. This is partly why it eventually dubbed itself "a show about nothing".

Rewording to get rid of the spoiler. The mere presence of a spoiler tag gives away most of the twist anyways


* The game ''VideoGame/DeadlyPremonition'' starts off with protagonist York driving to his latest case while talking with someone on the phone about his theory on how WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry are in a codependent, sadomasochistic relationship, though we only ever hear ''his'' side of the conversation. This also pops up during the main game, as when the player is driving somewhere without using fast-travel York will often strike up a conversation with his [[spoiler:not-so]] imaginary friend Zach about one obscure movie or another. In this case it's more a Seinfeldian Monologue.

Spelling/grammar fix(es) (characterization tags are not allowed on the wiki)


* On ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' a simple metaphor leads to Ted, Robin, Marshall, and Lily having an intense shouting match about which is better: ducks or rabbits. We only get to see bits and pieces of the actual argument, which went on for quite some time, but they seem to get very, ''very'' intense about everything, and discussion ranges from the animals merits as pets, food, good luck charms, and competitors in a steel cage death match. Old!Ted describes it as the worst argument the five of them ever had.

* Early Music/{{Tocotronic}} frequently have Seinfeldian lyrics, [[MundaneMadeAwesome mundane]] ''songs about nothing'', like [[SeriousBusiness crying about how they want to love tennis]] or dreaming about eating pizza with [[Music/TheFall Mark E. Smith]].
