* ''Film/{{Juno}}'':
** When Paulie first is told about Juno's pregnancy, he at one point awkwardly sputters out a description of having a baby as something that happens "to our moms and teachers when they get pregnant". Later on, when a fellow jogger comes up to Paulie to talk to him about Juno's pregnancy, the other jogger also refers to her pregnant status as "like our moms and teachers".
** There's the reiterated comment that having sex certainly wasn't Paulie's idea.
* ''Film/LongShot'': Both Fred and President Chambers, while discussing Chambers retirement from politics in order to make it in Hollywood, discuss how not many TV stars have made it big into films, are only able to name ''Creator/WoodyHarrelson'' and ''Creator/GeorgeClooney''.
* In ''Film/{{Mallrats}}'', Shannon remarks to Brodie while beating him up that he only acts like a nice guy to girls so that they'll let their guard down and allow him to "[[UnusualEuphemism screw [them] in a very uncomfortable place]]" (meaning he wants to have anal sex with them). Brodie, not getting the euphemism, remarks "What, like the back seat of a Volkswagen?" Apparently, no one else gets it either, with T.S. and Gill Hicks reaching the same conclusion as Brodie. (When Gill says that, Brodie does a little DoubleTake, as if wondering "How did you know..?")
** In ''Film/ClerksII'', Jason Lee has a cameo as a character Randal refers to as "Picklefucker" due to an unfortunate incident in high school. Lee's character claims Randal "must be the only one who still remembers that". Lee's character then gives his food to Jay, who responds with, "Thanks, Picklefucker!" The audience thinks this is a subversion, until Jay then runs outside screaming, "Yo! Some picklefucker just gave us free eats!" indicating that he had absolutely no idea who the character was. A trimmed portion has Randal asking "How did you know we called him Picklefucker?"; Jay responds, "[[HowDidYouKnowIDidnt You do?]]"
* Perhaps the best known film example is "You'll shoot your eye out" from ''Film/AChristmasStory''.

* In ''Film/TheIpcressFile'', secret agent Harry Palmer is being sent away on attachment to Major Dalby's unit by his dour boss Colonel Ross. Before he goes Ross warns "Be careful with Major Dalby. He doesn't have my sense of humour". When he arrives, Major Dalby warns "Be careful with me. I don't have Colonel Ross's sense of humour".
* In ''Film/{{Heathers}}'', the psychotic J.D. plants a bottle of mineral water next to the two {{Jerk Jock}}s he just murdered to suggest that they died in a gay suicide pact. Veronica thinks the idea is completely stupid. Three guesses what the cops say when they find the bottle. Made even funnier in that they also planted a bag full of gay porn and sex toys next to the corpses, but the mineral water is the first thing the cops pick up.
* In ''Film/BackToTheFuture'', during Marty's visit to 1955 his down-filled orange vest from the 1980s is mistaken for a life preserver (which means he must be a sailor) by Doc, one of Biff's lackeys, the soda parlour guy, and Lorraine's mom.
* Invoked rather violently in ''Film/TheDeparted'': [[TheMole Billy Costigan]] is in a bar trying to get in with the [[TheIrishMob mob]]. He orders a cranberry juice, whereupon the guy sitting next to him says its a diuretic and asks if [[AllPeriodsArePMS he's on his period.]] Costigan smashes his mug against the guy's head and is about to beat the crap out of him before mob lieutenant Mr. French separates them. He asks what's he's drinking: "What, is it your period?" Later on, the head of mob Costello is sitting with Costigan and orders a drink. His beverage of choice? Cranberry juice.
* ''Film/DieHardWithAVengeance'' has [=McClane=] and [[Creator/SamuelLJackson Zeus Carver]] successfully disarm a puzzle-bomb, after which they elect to hand it over to the authorities, to prevent some kid from picking it up. Unfortunately, Simon has fake cops stationed all over the place, and our heroes unknowingly hand the bomb over to them. Then the fake cops switch to their native German and agree to hold on to the bomb...[[EvenEvilHasStandards because some kid might pick it up.]]
* In ''Film/TheSantaClause'', Creator/TimAllen's character reads his son "A Visit from St. Nicholas" and the boy [[{{Mondegreen}} mishears]] "arose such a clatter" as "a Rose Suchak ladder". Shortly thereafter they hear a noise and run outside to find a ladder leaning against the house, a sign hanging off one rung that reads "Rose Suchak Ladder Co."

* During one of the linking segments of ''The Ten'', Gretchen is incredulous when Jeff refers to weightlifting as "juicing my pecs".
