** In a possible allusion to this, at one point in ''DragonQuestV'' you can choose to stay at an obviously sinister-looking inn in a cave with a creepy old lady while travelling with your new bride. She hears something in the night and asks you to investigate, but you've become paralyzed, and from upstairs you hear the sound of a knife grinding... [[spoiler:In the morning, it turns out that she was just making sure you slept soundly while she sharpened your sword, which gains a permanent attack bonus.]]

*** And, interestingly, in DrawnTogether but with a gun. [[ItGotWorse It turns out something more horrific actually happens.]]

* Early in the WallaceAndGromit film ''Curse of the Were-Rabbit'', Gromit is seen sharpening a large knife, then raising it above his head to chop... a carrot.

*** On his way to school Flanders tells Bart to say his prayers with [[ANightmareOnElmStreet "Freddy Claws"]] because the school isn't forcing him to, them goes back to use those claws to trim his bushes. When he's in class Miss Krabappel says he'll be her murder victim...in the school play on Lizzie Borden.

* In ''{{Wallace and Gromit}}: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit'', when Lady Tottington asks what Wallace and Gromit are going to do with the bunnies they have caught, the next shot has Gromit holding something on a cutting board and raising a big knife... and then he starts cutting up carrots for the bunnies.

* In ''{{Reaper}}'' Nina, who was previously trying to kill Sam, lunges across the table towards him. It turns out she's going for a steak, and just has (literally) [[RaisedByWolves demonic table manners]].

* Something similar happens in ''National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1'' where Spinach Destiny takes an icepick and stabs a block of ice repeatedly saying "[[ThisIsSparta I! HATE! VIOLENCE!!!]]"...as Jack Colt and Wes Luger look on. Moments later, she turns around and offers them "Snow cone?"
* And still something similar happens in ''[[HotShots Hot Shots: Part Deux]]'' as Topper Harley and Michelle Huddleston "reenact" a scene in ''Basic Istinct''. After tying Topper to the bed, Michelle slowly grabs a screwdriver under the mattress. She raises it over Topper's head and stabs...a loose screw on the bed's frame which was squeaking loudly. Michelle tightens the screw and oils it even. She then tests the bed and once assured the squeaking had stopped, Michelle proceeds to romance Topper.

* From LackadaisyCats: [[http://lackadaisy.foxprints.com/comic.php?comicid=77 Rocky finds the tire iron.]]

* In one episode of SpongebobSquarepants, Spongebob finds Mr. Krabs abusing captive jellyfish for their jelly. Spongebob grabs a wrench, and Mr. Krabs asks what he's going to do with it. Spongebob angrily says "Something that should have been done a long time ago!" before tightening a bolt and saying "This squeaky bolt has been driving me crazy."
* In one episode of JackieChanAdventures, Jade (outside her body) sees a demon (who had possessed her body) going somewhere with a knife. She panics, music builds, she unsuccessfully tries to warn Jackie, cut to Possesed!Jade holding up the knife and...she was cutting an orange with it.
* In Wallace and Gromit: ''TheCurseOfTheWere-Rabbit", when Lady Tottington asks what Wallace and Gromit are going to do with the bunnies they have caught, the next shot has Gromit holding something on a cutting board and raising a big knife... and then he starts cutting up carrots for the bunnies.
* In Rocko'sModernLife we see Rocko saying he had enough of Heffer, then brings out a hammer and lunges to beat him, then it turns out he was talking about his busted vacuum cleaner.

*** Parodied in FamilyGuy by the Russian prime minister who uses a crossbow bolt to hang his tie and lights a cigarette with a lighter that looks like an assault rifle.

** later subverted, kinda as the fiance turns out to be NotSoHarmless, at least to our heroes.

*** Then Homer later arrives with a butcher knife and blurts "BARTYOUWANTSOMEBROWNIESBEFOREYOUGOTOBED??" Finally revealing the case of brownies Marge had apparently cooked in between scenes.

* And still something similar happens in ''[[HotShots Hot Shots: Part Deux]]'' as Topper Harley and Michelle Huddleston "reenact" a scene in ''Basic Istinct''. After tying Topper to the bed, Michelle slowly grabs a screwdriver under the mattress. She raises it over Topper's head and stabs...a loose screw on the bed's frame which was squeaking loudly. Michelle tightens the screw and even adds oil to it. She then tests the bed and once assured the squeaking had stopped, Michelle proceeds to romance Topper.
