** In ''Literature/InterestingTimes'' Rincewind gets to do this to a native of the land he's visiting (because of the all the various peoples that have emigrated to Ankh-Morpork, they have much better stuff than the isolated and somewhat xenophobic Agatean Empire).

** In ''Literature/InterestingTimes'' Rincewind gets meets an Agatean merchant ("Disembowel-Meself-Honourably" Dibhala) who, unlike most Agateans, is terribly interested in establishing relationships with foreigners because he wants to do this to sell them things. In a native reversal of the land he's visiting (because of the historical relations between China and Europe, all the various peoples that have emigrated to things Dibhala mentions - tea, silk, porcelain - are freely available in Ankh-Morpork, because they have much better stuff than the isolated and somewhat xenophobic Agatean Empire). were brought there by immigrants or invented by clever people. It's turned around on him Rincewind when he brings up The Luggage, only to be reminded that it came from the Empire and they have plenty more.

* ''Literature/TheFinalReflection'': During a Klingon diplomatic visit to Earth (set some decades before ''Star Trek: The Original Series'') the Federation tries to impress the Klingons by unveiling the transporter, which has only just been certified safe for intelligent life. The Federation admiral expects the Klingons to be impressed, but they just respond by having one of their officers beam up to their ship. (And their system runs much quieter.)

** {{Averted}} in another episode when Lt. Mills tries to explain sidearms to Crane, only to be exasperatedly told that, as a soldier, he already knows how firearms work. When he ends up using the gun she gives him, he fires one shot and drops it, not realising how much weapons technology has evolved since the War of Independence.
