** In season 8, Repli-Carter tries to use Daniel's mind as a conduit to obtain Ascended knowledge, so she appears in the mental link as Oma Desala. Daniel begins to suspect something is up and proves it by using an IceCreamKoan on "Oma". When she responds as though that makes sense he knows it can't actually be her. (Later, when the real Oma does connect with his mind, he tries this trick again, and he knows it is her when she responds to him with a {{Koan}} of her own .)

** In ''[[Recap/StarTrekS2E25BreadAndCircuses Bread and Circuses]]'' Kirk, under duress, is ordered by his captor to check in. He does so with "Condition Green, all's well, Kirk out." Alas, it is so obviously a trouble code that it is immediately recognized as such.

* ''Series/BreakingBad'':
** Discussed when Saul is discussing with Walt and Skyler on how to launder Walt's drug money. Saul suggests they buy a nearby laser tag arena (because the current manager is desperate enough for money to go along with it). Skyler strongly objects to it because of how out-of-character it would be for someone like Walt to suddenly buy a laser tag arena, it would definitely make people very suspicious. Her suggestion is that Walt instead purchase the car wash he once worked at, since it's a facility he has history and is familiar with.
--->'''Skyler:''' "Hey, everybody! Walt suddenly decided to invest in ''laser tag''. Just out of the blue!" Really? That's what we're supposed to tell people, our family, our friends, ''the government''?
** Hank is investigating [[spoiler:Gale's murder]], pouring over the evidence and Gale's notebook, when he notices one strange discrepancy. Gale is a hardcore vegan, but he has a phone number written down on a napkin from the fried chicken franchise Los Pollos Hermanos. This one minor clue leads Hank on a one-man quest for more evidence that threatens to unravel the biggest meth distributor in the American Southwest.
** Used in "Ozymandias", when Walt makes [[spoiler:an incriminating phone call to Skyler, knowing that the line is being wiretapped. He plays up his psychotic, ruthless Heisenberg persona for 110% of what it's worth to clue Skyler in that he's intentionally making himself into the scapegoat who cowed his wife into helping him and takes the fall for Hank's murder, so Skyler won't be jailed for being his accomplice and leave their children orphaned, and Marie can have some semblance of closure. Skyler gradually realizes what he's doing and plays along.]]

** During the ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'' episode ''Recap/PowerRangersInSpaceS1E19InvasionOfTheBodySwitcher'' the villain Astronema uses a monster's disguise ability to disguise herself as the Yellow Ranger.
