* "Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace", in the episode 'Justin's Little Sister', Mr. Laritate is shown asking his students such questions as, "The French & Indian War was fought by three groups of people. Name two of them." and "The War of 1812 started in what year?" However, he ends up asking Alex a much harder question, seemingly just to belittle her for not being as studious as her brother.

* ''Series/{{Alf}}'': At the end of the episode "Strangers in the Night", when NosyNeighbour Mrs. Armanick hears noise outside she grabs the phone and ask "Operator, this is an emergency. What's the number for 911?" In her defense, Alf had been messing about the house while she was watching ''Film/{{Psycho}}'', so she was a little-high-strung.

'''Alice:''' I'll be there at 18:00\\

* ''Webcomic/{{Avalon}}'':

* ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'': in "[[Recap/BrooklynNineNineS2E11Stakeout Stakeout]]" Rosa refuses to do a four-day stakeout and Amy asks why:
-->'''Rosa:''' I'm out. Four hours is the most time I've ever spent alone with any human. It was the worst experience of my life.\\

-->'''Boyle:''' Why don't you just ask him to stop shaving at his desk?\\

* ''Franchise/StarWars'' - ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'': As the Rebel fleet is approaching the second Death Star, Lando gets word that they can't tell if the deflector shield protecting it is up or down because of jamming, prompting him to ask, "How could they be jamming us if they don't know... [[ExplainExplainOhCrap that we're coming]]. Break off! The shield is still up!"

** Penny tells Leonard that everything goes wrong with their relationship when they talk. She then adds that she had an 8-month-long relation with a guy named T.J. and they never talked.

** Which weighs the most, a pound of lead, a pound of aluminum, or a pound of cork?[[note]]Surprisingly, this actually becomes a valid question when one of the items in question is measured using ''troy'' weight (such as gold); a troy pound weighs less than a standard (avoirdupois) pound. And just to makes things even more fun, troy weight has more grains to the ounce but less ounces to the pound than avoirdupois -- so an ounce of gold weighs more than an ounce of feathers, but a pound of feathers weighs more than a pound of gold.[[/note]][[note]]It's also not as stupid as it sounds when you consider the question asks about ''weight'' and not ''mass'' and is thus affected by gravity. The tallest object (presumably the least dense, i.e. cork) will have a center of mass further away from the ground and thus weigh slightly less than aluminum, which will weigh slightly less than lead -- even though all three have the same mass. However, this caveat applies only when the question refers to weight, not mass: a pound of cork weighs less than a pound of aluminum, but a pound of cork has the same mass as a pound of aluminum.[[/note]]
