And then it turns into a Quadruple, as Tallahassee goes "You've gotta be [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] kidding me!"

* ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'': A more serious example occurs in "[[Recap/DarkwingDuckS3E4StarCrossedCircuits Star-Crossed Circuits]]"; when Launchpad tells Darkwing [[JobStealingRobot he doesn't think he's any use to him with the D-2000 around]], Darkwing takes exception. Launchpad asks for a example, and Darkwing brings up [[CoolPlane the Thunderquack]] and lifting heavy boxes (before remembering that [[DoAnythingRobot the D-2000]] can do that as well). His last suggestion is singing show tunes — but he immediately shuts Launchpad down when he actually tries to perform them.
