| 10 | * ''The 5 Mrs. Buchanans'': In "Heart of the Matter?", Roy agrees not to play in an alumni football game because his wife, Alex, believes he will get hurt. When Mother Buchanan (the family's domineering matriarch) finds out, she is furious. She insists that Roy play in the game to uphold the Buchanan family tradition. When Roy mentions that Alex doesn't want him to, Mother Buchanan tells him, ''"Roy Buchanan, I did not raise you to be dictated to by some overbearing woman."'' |
| 11 | * ''Series/ThirtyRock'': |
| 12 | ** There's one in its signature meta-joke style, where Liz and Jack are discussing ''America's Kidz Got Singing'', a singing competition show NBC is airing: |
| 13 | --->'''Jack:''' "Kidz" is a hit the whole family can watch together, not your usual sitcom crap full of gratuitous vulgarity and pratfalls.\ |
| 14 | ''[man in the background slips and falls]''\ |
| 15 | '''Man:''' Ohh, my penis! |
| 16 | ** Another episode has Liz writing a TV movie Jack is producing, which ends with this exchange: |
| 17 | --->'''Liz:''' Hey, when this movie airs, can my name be the first credit that comes up at the end?\ |
| 18 | '''Jack:''' This is a group process Lemon, don't be an egomaniac.\ |
| 19 | ''[camera pans to a TV that says "Executive Producer Lorne Michaels"]'' |
| 20 | * ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'': |
| 21 | ** There's a moment where Coulson criticizes an ancient organization for their SigilSpam, pointing out that the attention it draws is the reason he removed the eagle logos from the S.H.I.E.L.D. vans. Bobbi Morse responds thusly: |
| 22 | --->'''Bobbi:''' You know, we have a ginormous eagle on top of our jet.\ |
| 23 | '''Coulson:''' [[RuleOfCool Sometimes I can't help myself with the cool.]] |
| 24 | ** In [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS2E9YeWhoEnterHere "Ye Who Enter Here"]], one of the Koenig brothers, who are all InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals, learns about Agent 33, a Comicbook/{{HYDRA}} agent who, due to a damaged holographic mask, looks exactly like Agent May. He comments how weird it must be for two people to have the same face. |
| 25 | * Siegfried from ''Series/AllCreaturesGreatAndSmall'' has a bad habit of blaming his mistakes on other people, as well as criticizing them for faults he also possesses. And he does it so sanctimoniously. |
| 26 | -->'''James:''' You know the one thing I can't stand about your brother, Tris? It's when he gets patient with you. He gets this saintly look on his face and you know that any moment now he's going to forgive you. For something ''he's'' just done. |
| 27 | * Ms. Hushbaum the [[NoIndoorVoice Loud Librarian]] from ''Series/AllThat'' shushes people for making the tiniest amount of noise in the library, even if it's a whisper, but she herself yells at everyone to be quiet ("QUIET! THIS IS A LIBRARY!") and does things that will annoy those who are trying to study (bowling, making popcorn, using a jackhammer, etc.). Even when someone points out how she's the one making all the noise, she'll ''still'' yell at them to shut up. |
| 28 | * On ''Series/{{Amen}}'', after Reverend Gregory has fainted, effectively ending his and Thelma's wedding. Thelma is freaking out, shaking him and demanding that he wake up. |
| 29 | -->'''Deacon Frye:''' Thelma, calm down! I know you're disappointed, but we have to call off the wedding! So what if I'm out $10,000. ''$10,000!'' ''[grabs Reuben and starts shaking him the same way Thelma was]'' Wake up! Wake up! How could you do this to me!"\ |
| 30 | ''[minister grabs the Deacon]''\ |
| 31 | '''Minister:''' Ernest, pull yourself together man! Money isn't everything!\ |
| 32 | '''Deacon:''' I'm glad to hear you say that, because if there's no wedding, you don't get paid!\ |
| 33 | '''Minister:''' ''[grabs Reuben and starts shaking him]'' Wake up! Wake up! |
| 34 | * ''Series/{{Angel}}'': A RunningGag with Doyle's character. From "[[Recap/AngelS01E01CityOf City of...]]": |
| 35 | -->'''Doyle:''' It's not all about fighting and gadgets and such. It's about reaching out to people, showing them that there's love and hope still left in the world...\ |
| 36 | '''Homeless Woman:''' ''[interrupting]'' Hey, spare change?\ |
| 37 | '''Doyle:''' Get a job, you lazy sow! |
| 38 | * ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'': |
| 39 | -->'''Michael:''' Some people are just impossible to have a conversation with.\ |
| 40 | '''Lucille:''' If that's a veiled attempt to insult me, I didn't hear it, and I won't respond to it. |
| 41 | ** In "[[Recap/ArrestedDevelopmentS1E21NotWithoutMyDaughter Not Without My Daughter]]", Michael tries to convince his niece that [[TakeYourChildToWorkDayPlot Bring Your Daughter To Work Day]] is going to be fun because "What's better than hanging out with family?" His phone then rings, and he blurts out "[[EvilMatriarch Ah, f**k, it's my mother]]." |
| 42 | * At one point during the ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'' event ''Series/CrisisOnEarthX'', Series/{{The Flash|2014}} and Series/{{Supergirl|2015}} have to loll the time waiting for [[Series/{{Arrow}} Green Arrow]] at a rendezvous point. When Arrow finally does, he admonishes his teammates that he's only late because he doesn't have SuperSpeed like they do. The hypocrisy here is that Barry Allen/The Flash is well-known for being both "The Fastest Man Alive" as well as "The ''Tardiest'' Man Alive". |
| 43 | * In ''Series/AuctionKings'', Paul ends up owing his own auction house money after he buys some art and doesn't pay. Cindy spends the whole episode harassing him about it. |
| 44 | * ''Series/AustinAndAlly'': Trish has been fired from numerous jobs, and proceeds to call Austin and Ally lazy. |
| 45 | * The Creator/{{ITV}} documentary ''A-Z of Comedy'' had Ian Hislop doing S is for Satire, concluding that ultimately the message of satire is that nobody is above ridicule. His ''Series/SpittingImage'' puppet then pops up and goes into a routine making fun of him. The real Hislop's reaction is "That's pathetic! It doesn't even ''look'' like me!" |
| 46 | * In the ''Series/BabylonFive'' episode "The Geometry of Shadows", technomage Elric refutes Londo's false denial about pestering Elric for an a event by playing a recording of Vir delivering just such a request. Londo complains, "Recording a conversation -- a very low thing to do." as the screen cuts to a shot of the hidden camera Londo had just planted in Sheridan's office. |
| 47 | * 60's ''Series/Batman1966'', having just encountered the Green Hornet in a window: |
| 48 | -->'''Robin:''' ''[whispering]'' Gosh Batman, what do they dress like that for? |
| 49 | ** In the story where the Penguin and Batman are running for mayor of Gotham City, the Penguin makes a great show of declaring that he will not engage in mudslinging, and immediately [[InsaneTrollLogic insinuates]] that Batman is often seen with known criminals because Batman himself is a criminal. |
| 50 | * ''The Bazura Project''[='s=] episode on bad language in cinema has a segment where the white male hosts are dismissive of a woman's complaints about gendered insults (bitch, slut, etc) in films, but take offense at a woman calling a man a "jerk". Then they show a bunch of scenes with racist language, and object to [[Film/TheBluesBrothers "What are you gonna do about it, whitey?"]]. |
| 51 | * ''Series/BetterCallSaul'': When Jimmy sabotages Chuck by forging documents, and Chuck confronts him on it, Chuck says "I can't stand the fact that my own brother stabbed me in the back!" This coming from Chuck, who throughout the show has been stabbing Jimmy in the back by blocking his attempts to get a job at HHM and attempting to sabotage his chances with Davis & Main. |
| 52 | * ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'': |
| 53 | ** Done by ''Sheldon'', of all people, during "The Nerdvanna Annihilation". After Penny derides Leonard for his toy collection, driving him into such a depression that he gives them all away, Sheldon [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFaDGg1ySgE gives her]] a well-deserved TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: |
| 54 | --->'''Penny:''' What the hell's going on? \ |
| 55 | '''Sheldon:''' ''[with genuine anger]'' You ''hypocrite''!\ |
| 56 | '''Penny:''' What? \ |
| 57 | '''Sheldon:''' Little Miss "grown-ups don't play with toys"! If I went into that apartment right now, would I not find Toys/BeanieBabies? Are you not an accumulator of Franchise/{{Care Bears}} and Franchise/{{My Little Pon|y}}ies? And who is that Japanese feline frolicking on your shorts? Hello, Franchise/HelloKitty! |
| 58 | ** [[InsufferableGenius Sheldon]] is most often on the "hypocrite" side of these: |
| 59 | --->''[someone knocks on the door]''\ |
| 60 | '''Leonard:''' Want to get that?\ |
| 61 | '''Sheldon:''' Not particularly.\ |
| 62 | '''Leonard:''' Could you get that?\ |
| 63 | '''Sheldon:''' I suppose I could, if I were asked.\ |
| 64 | '''Leonard:''' Would you please get that?\ |
| 65 | '''Sheldon:''' Well, of course. *gets up to answer the door* Why do you have to make things so complicated? |
| 66 | ** Penny: Oh look, they're doing that fake 'linked-arms drinking thing'. I totally taught him that! |
| 67 | * An episode of ''Series/BlakesSeven'' where Vila, the character noted for his lockpicking abilities, is trying to get out of a hatch that is stuck. He opts instead for PercussiveMaintenance. |
| 68 | -->'''Avon:''' ''[on vox]'' Use your delicate, skillful touch.\ |
| 69 | ''[Vila kicks the hatch open instead]''\ |
| 70 | '''Vila:''' I used my delicate, skillful boot. |
| 71 | * ''Series/BreakoutKings'': In "Cruz Control", the team is chasing a terminally ill escaped convict who is killing other criminals, and the team of [[BoxedCrook Boxed Crooks]] discusses whether they really should bother to catch him. |
| 72 | -->'''Erica:''' Regardless of whom he's taking out, you can't appoint yourself judge, jury, and executioner.\ |
| 73 | '''Shea:''' Good point. What's your tattoo stand for again? Wait, is that the Chinese symbol for "hypocrite"?\ |
| 74 | '''Erica:''' Still got room for one more, Shea.\ |
| 75 | '''Shea:''' Allegedly though, right? |
| 76 | ** The humor is that the tattoo is in fact a series of hash-marks that Erica used to check off the men she allegedly murdered to avenge the murder of her father. |
| 77 | * A quote from an episode of ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'': |
| 78 | -->'''Santiago:''' You handled this really well, Peralta, I take back what I said about you being immature.\ |
| 79 | '''Peralta:''' Oh. Apology accepted, Fart-monster. |
| 80 | * ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': |
| 81 | ** "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E18Earshot Earshot]]": |
| 82 | *** Wesley points out that since Buffy can hear everyone's thoughts, it would take mental discipline to not broadcast their thoughts to Buffy. Within seconds, Wesley thinks about Cordelia in a highly inappropriate way. Buffy smirks at Wesley, and he excuses himself from the room in embarrassment. |
| 83 | *** This: |
| 84 | ---->'''Xander:''' Hogan Martin thinks he's sooooo hot. Like we should all be awed by him 'cause he can put a ball in the net.\ |
| 85 | '''Hogan:''' Hey, Xander.\ |
| 86 | '''Xander:''' He said my name. He knows my name. |
| 87 | ** In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E7OnceMoreWithFeeling Once More, With Feeling]]", Spike's song is all about how he wishes Buffy would get away from him as his unrequited feelings for her are tearing him up. When Buffy flees at the end of the song, Spike calls out pitiably, "So, you're not staying then?" |
| 88 | ** In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E12ANewMan A New Man]]", Giles is turned into a demon, but declares that he won't start acting like a monster just because he looks like one. Then he sees Professor Walsh, who pissed him off earlier in the episode, and chases her down the street roaring loudly. |
| 89 | ** Giles also comes out with the following in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E21Primeval Primeval]]": |
| 90 | --->"Xander, just because this is never going to work there's no need to be negative." |
| 91 | ** Cordelia does this a lot, especially in her early AlphaBitch phase. From "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E2TheHarvest The Harvest]]": |
| 92 | --->'''Cordelia:''' Senior boys are the only way to go. Guys from our grade, forget about it, they're children. Y'know? Like Jesse. Did you see him last night, following me around like a little puppy dog. You just wanna put him to sleep. But senior boys, hmm, they have mystery. They have... What's the word I'm searching for? Cars! I just am not the type to settle. Y'know? It's like when I go shopping. I have to have the most expensive thing. [[DistinctionWithoutADifference Not because it's expensive, but because it costs more.]]\ |
| 93 | '''Girl:''' You know, I--\ |
| 94 | '''Cordelia:''' Hello, Miss Motormouth, can I get a sentence finished? |
| 95 | * In Season 8 of ''Series/CanadasWorstDriver'', from host Andrew Younghusband: |
| 96 | -->'''Andrew:''' As the host of ''Canada's Worst Driver'', I'm not allowed to curse, but holy ''[bleep]'' ''[bleep]'' balls, Flora scared the living ''[bleep]'' ''[bleep]'' out of me. |
| 97 | * In ''Series/{{Castle|2009}}'', this trope is used often and well, typically with ''some'' other character around to lampshade it. |
| 98 | ** Martha can often be relied upon to provide humour of this nature; such as, the night before one of Rick's book launches: |
| 99 | --->'''Martha:''' ''[chuckling]'' You really are something, you know? You always think everything's about you. ''[hands him a stack of leaflets]'' Here.\ |
| 100 | '''Castle:''' What are these?\ |
| 101 | '''Martha:''' Oh, they're fliers for my play. I thought you could hand them out when you were signing books tomorrow. |
| 102 | ** In a later episode, both Castle and Beckett have gone out on separate dates and ended up at the same very exclusive restaurant. They spent the entire time preoccupied with the BodyOfTheWeek and had a tendency to slip away from their supposed dates to confer about the case with each other. Finally, they bailed entirely and the dates hooked up with one another. At the end of the episode, as Castle and Beckett go out to grab a bite to eat at a burger joint, they swap notes on their dates earlier that evening, remarking that they seemed "boring" and "a little self-absorbed": |
| 103 | --->'''Castle:''' Some people just don't know how to behave on a date.\ |
| 104 | '''Beckett:''' ''Especially'' on a first date. |
| 105 | ** Martha walks in on Castle and Alexis playing poker (also a ShoutOut to ''Film/{{Casablanca}}''). |
| 106 | --->'''Martha:''' I am shocked that there is gambling in this house! Deal me in. |
| 107 | ** In "Double Down", Beckett is upset to learn that Castle made a bet that he and Beckett could solve their case before Ryan and Esposito could solve theirs. After getting a lead on their case, Beckett tells Castle, "One hundred dollars on us." |
| 108 | ** In another episode, Castle tries to talk to Alexis, who just interrupted movie night with her dad because her boyfriend wants to talk to her: "I mean, think about what kind of signal you're sending if you're the one always rearranging your schedule at the other one's every beck and call. I mean, if you just drop everything the very moment that..." At which point Beckett calls him, and he drops everything. |
| 109 | ** In "The Squab and the Quail", a billionaire playboy is threatened with murder. He pulls strings with the commissioner to get Beckett assigned as his bodyguard rather than a uniformed police officer. Castle complains, "I just can't believe that the department is forcing her to hang around with some womanizing rich guy against her will!" Ryan and Esposito share a look; this is the entire premise of the series, and ''Castle'' is usually the womanizing rich guy in question. |
| 110 | ** In "3XK", when Montgomery's profiling the murderer Castle remarks that [[NotSoDifferentRemark he shares several similarities with Montgomery's profile]]. When Montgomery gets to "has a menial, unimportant job", Beckett (slightly snidely) points out that this means the killer is "''definitely'' you." Quick as a flash, Castle casually remarks that in that case, [[InsultBackfire he'll base his next bestselling mystery novel on Esposito instead]]. Beckett looks genuinely shocked and insulted. You were saying something about "menial and unimportant", Beckett? |
| 111 | * Creator/TheChaser have done this on a couple of their shows, often calling back to stunts from previous series. |
| 112 | ** In the 2007 series of ''[[Series/TheElectionChaser The Chaser Decides]]'', they show a few clips of John Howard being accosted by fringe groups, leading Andrew to ask "Where do these people get the idea that it's okay to hassle the Prime Minister on his morning walk?" Cue a montage of the Chaser, especially Craig, doing just that in the 2004 series and ''Series/TheChasersWarOnEverything''. Craig accepts responsibility for that, which is why he's decided to support Howard's security detail in keeping idiots away. |
| 113 | -->'''Craig''': True, I think we all feel some guilt for turning his morning walk into a sideshow, especially me, so I thought it was only fair that we made it up to the Prime Minister by working for him for once, rather than against him. |
| 114 | ** The same series has a similar joke about idiots gatecrashing the Liberals' post-election party. |
| 115 | ** In the 2010 election special ''Yes We Canberra'', Chas comments on someone else's stunt making fun of Tony Abbott's budgie smugglers. "What kind of dickhead thinks that dancing around in a red speedo is even remotely funny?". Cut to clip from a 2007 episode of ''The Chaser's War on Everything'' when Craig did the same thing to New South Wales state Liberal Leader Peter Debnam. |
| 116 | * One of the most popular types of joke on the sitcom ''Series/{{Cheers}}''. |
| 117 | ** Examples: |
| 118 | --->'''Norm:''' Woody you can't go sneaking out nights on someone you love! Woody you have to believe that truth–\ |
| 119 | '''Carla:''' Norm your wife Vera's on the phone!\ |
| 120 | '''Norm:''' I'm not here. ''[back to Woody]'' –and honesty are the cornerstones of a relationship! |
| 121 | ** In another episode, the guys see recurring FrenchJerk Henri walk into the bar: |
| 122 | --->'''Barfly 1:''' Hey isn't that that French guy who's trying to steal Woody's girlfriend?\ |
| 123 | '''Cliff:''' Yeah, what a slimebag.\ |
| 124 | '''Barfly 2:''' The man's got the morals of a snake.\ |
| 125 | '''Norm:''' Can't believe he'd show his face in here.\ |
| 126 | '''Henri:''' ''[smiles and waves]'' Hello fellows!\ |
| 127 | '''Norm and the others:''' ''[very cheerfully]'' Hey Henri! How you doin'? |
| 128 | * ''Series/TheColbertReport'': |
| 129 | ** Creator/StephenColbert briefly shared a story about how he once found one of his teenage staff members out back smoking with his friends while wearing an anti-smoking T-shirt. When questioned, he replied that he "thought it was funny." |
| 130 | ** Stephen, distraught over the loss of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, looks up the FiveStagesOfGrief. "Stage One... Denial. I've ''never'' had that." |
| 131 | ** Frankly, Stephen Colbert's whole point of existence is HypocriticalHumor, ever since he was an anchor on ''Series/TheDailyShow'', which also frequently points out TruthInTelevision examples. |
| 132 | * ''Series/{{Community}}'': |
| 133 | ** After Senor Chang has ordered the class to 'turn on' Britta, resulting in her being pelted with paper. |
| 134 | --->'''Britta:''' Ow! Real mature. ''[leaves]''\ |
| 135 | '''Señor Chang:''' ''[childishly]'' That's right, we ''are'' mature! ''Too'' mature to sit in a class with a cheating lying poop-face!\ |
| 136 | ''[Britta has long since left the room]'' |
| 137 | ** When they're all panicking about Britta's psych test showing one of them is a potential murderer (turns out it's all of them except Abed): |
| 138 | --->'''Annie:''' Stay back psychos! Or I'll slit your throats and bathe in your blood! |
| 139 | ** And probably the best example yet, the opening scene of Season 3: |
| 140 | --->''[[IWantSong We're gonna have more fun and be less weird / Than the first two years combiiiiiiined!]]'' |
| 141 | ** In general, Britta and Shirley tend to generate this kind of humor most frequently (although the others certainly aren't immune to it), Britta because she's a SoapboxSadie GranolaGirl who's not nearly as committed to her causes as she likes others to think she is, and Shirley because she's TheFundamentalist who thinks that she's the group's conscience without quite realising her own flaws. |
| 142 | ** Also, when Britta accuses Annie of hiding her own pen to save face in "Cooperative Calligraphy" |
| 143 | --->'''Annie:''' ''[to Britta]'' I'm not hiding my own pen, you paranoid weirdo! ''[to everyone else]'' Everyone stay within each other's sight lines, one of you is a monster. |
| 144 | * ''Series/CornerGas'': |
| 145 | ** The following exchange occurs: |
| 146 | --->'''Oscar:''' ''[to Emma]'' Your son is turning the gas station into a movie theatre!\ |
| 147 | '''Brent:''' Keep in mind that Dad does have a tendency to overstate these things.\ |
| 148 | '''Oscar:''' I've never overstated a single thing in the history of the planet! |
| 149 | ** And: |
| 150 | --->'''Karen:''' She seems quick to judge. I noticed that right away about her. |
| 151 | * ''Series/{{Coupling}}'': Sally does not react well when Howard agrees with something Jeff says: |
| 152 | -->'''Sally:''' It's homophobic, you stupid queen! |
| 153 | * On ''Series/CrazyExGirlfriend'', Rebecca sings about how [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4hh1YhDfbA she's a good person]]...while ''threatening people with a knife''. "Say it! Say it or I'll kill your husband! I'll gut him like a fish!" |
| 154 | * ''Series/{{CSI}}'': A crime scene clean-up guy who's working on Nick and Warrick's scene has just got through pontificating about respect for the dead when they find an unexpected second body shoved in a video game cabinet. The first words out of his mouth? "Holy mackerel, bitch in a box!" |
| 155 | * Private Frazer in ''Series/DadsArmy'' is quite fond of loudly expressing one bitterly-held and often contentious viewpoint, only to immediately switch to loudly expressing its exact opposite when it no longer becomes prudent to hold the first viewpoint. |
| 156 | * ''Series/TheDailyShow'': |
| 157 | ** Jon Stewart criticized the 2010 British election debates, saying: "Your moderator is named Alastair Stewart! What kind of last name is Stewart?" |
| 158 | ** Bonus joke if you know Stewart [[StageNames wasn't Jon's original last name]].[[note]]His birth name was Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz.[[/note]] |
| 159 | ** Also pointed out and derided via an "epithet ticker" when UsefulNotes/SarahPalin defended Dr. Laura Shlesinger's career (a hasty retirement after using the N-word) in a Website/{{Tw|itter}}eet -- mere months after calling for Rahm Emanuel's job for using the word "retard"... which, incidentally, was up five points. |
| 160 | ** Oh beautiful, oblivious hypocrisy! Jason Jones tries to convince a Democrat to stop pointing the finger, [[http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-september-19-2012/finger-pointing-blame-game but the message won't get through.]] |
| 161 | * ''Series/Daredevil2015'': In "World on Fire", Wilson Fisk tells the other crime lords that he killed Anatoly. He explains that they'll make Anatoly's brother Vladimir think the Devil of Hell's Kitchen was responsible, at least, until they are ready to make a move against him, saying "We all knew that we would need to eliminate the Russians one day. They were too unpredictable." This, as Leland Owlsley points out, coming from a man who just decapitated Anatoly with a car door [[DisproportionateRetribution because the guy interrupted his date with Vanessa]]. |
| 162 | * ''Series/DearWhitePeople'': When Al complains about how Apple uses child slave labor in China to manufacture its phones, his phone starts going off. Guess what brand of phone it is? |
| 163 | * ''Series/{{Detectorists}}'': Andy listens to Lance tell a story about a treasure hunter and muses derisively, "The things people will do for gold!" He then shoulders his expensive metal detector. |
| 164 | * ''Series/{{Dexter}}'': |
| 165 | ** In the second episode of the third season, Dexter is trying to track down the address of a recent murder victim; his searches take him to a sorority house during a party. When he asks two of the girl's sisters if they know her, they dismissively state that she's a "total ho bag". Then they ask Dexter if he's got any drugs. "We put out." |
| 166 | ** In another episode, while spying on a suspected killer and future mark, Dexter realizes he's schizophrenic and currently talking to a hallucination. To which Dexter's father Harry Morgan comments "He's speaking to someone that's not here!" Yes, Dexter's SpiritAdvisor, to whom he has frequent DeadPersonConversation, says that. Dexter gives him a knowing glance, aware of the irony. |
| 167 | * In one episode of ''Series/DiagnosisMurder'', Community General Hospital's IT system is brought to its knees by a virus; Hospital Administrator Norman Briggs hires an IT engineer to restore the system and asks him to give the staff a lecture on proper computer usage to remind them that their computer terminals are not toys. At the end of the lecture, the engineer tells the crowd that the virus causing the problem is often found in copies of a particular computer game... which Norman has installed on his terminal. |
| 168 | * ''Series/ADifferentWorld'': The students are volunteering at a community center in a poor neighborhood when Whitley' s wallet is stolen. When she makes a snarky comment about she should have expected it from "people like that", Dwayne blasts her for her elitist attitude -- then hurries off, having just realized that he forgot his computer at the center. |
| 169 | * ''Series/DoctorWho'': Happens with the Doctor all the time, as his AwesomeEgo is a RunningGag. |
| 170 | ** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS4E9TheEvilOfTheDaleks "The Evil of the Daleks"]]: When the Doctor and Jamie sneak into the antique store, there's a gap of a few seconds between the Doctor telling Jamie to be careful and not knock anything over, and [[TheKlutz Jamie having to catch something the Doctor knocked over]]. |
| 171 | ** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E12BadWolf "Bad Wolf"]]: The Doctor, on reality shows: |
| 172 | --->"The human race. Brainless sheep, being fed on a diet of-- Mind you, have they still got that program where three people have to live with a bear?" |
| 173 | ** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E3Gridlock "Gridlock"]]: Brannigan refers to the Cassinis, an elderly lesbian couple, as "sisters" because, as he says, he's "old-fashioned". He's a [[CatFolk catman]] married to a [[InterspeciesRomance human]]. |
| 174 | ** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E8SilenceInTheLibrary "Silence in the Library"]]: When {{jerkass}} Strackman Lux refuses to share information about the Library with the Doctor because he won't sign a nondisclosure contract, the Doctor berates him, pointing out that he doesn't want one man's pride to kill everyone in the room. River Song then asks him why he doesn't just sign Lux's contract... before admitting that, despite having been hired by Lux, she didn't sign it either. |
| 175 | ** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E1TheEleventhHour "The Eleventh Hour"]]: After the Doctor rejects all of the various foods Amelia offers him because his new taste buds find them disgusting, poisonous or "evil", Amelia looks in her fridge one more time: |
| 176 | --->'''Amelia:''' We've got some carrots.\ |
| 177 | '''The Doctor:''' ''Carrots?!'' Are you ''insane?'' |
| 178 | ** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS36E3ThinIce "Thin Ice"]]: The Doctor tells Bill to let him do the talking when they meet Lord Sutcliffe, saying that she has a temper and they need to get information through diplomacy and tact. "Always remember, Bill: passion fights, but reason wins." [[AristocratsAreEvil Sutcliffe]] then enters and starts hurling racial insults at Bill, and the Doctor ''immediately'' [[HeyYouHaymaker punches him out]]. |

| 180 | --->'''The Doctor:''' We're the most civilised civilisation in the universe. We're billions of years beyond your petty human obsession with gender and its associated stereotypes.\ |
| 181 | '''Bill:''' But you still call yourselves Time ''Lords?''\ |
| 182 | '''The Doctor:''' Yeah... Shut up. |
| 183 | ** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E1TheWomanWhoFellToEarth "The Woman Who Fell to Earth"]]: |
| 184 | *** When Yaz introduces herself as "PC Khan", the Doctor retorts that she asked for Yaz's name, not her title. This coming from someone who only ever introduces themselves with a title... |

| 186 | * ''Series/TheDonnaReedShow'': When father Alex is too busy and misses his son's performance in a school program, Jeff gives a private encore of "My Dad" for his parents and sister. At the end of it, the entire family is in tears. Mary whispers to Donna, "Mother, do you have a handkerchief?" Donna jestingly rebukes her daughter for the inappropriateness of her emotions, even though she herself is crying just as much. |
| 187 | -->'''Donna''': ''(fishing through her purse for handkerchiefs)'' Oh, for Heaven's sake, Mary! This is supposed to be ''(sniffle, sniffle)'' a happy moment! |
| 188 | * ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'': |
| 189 | ** In "Driver's License", Drake and Josh talk about they being now mature, just before fighting over the "purple controller" and tackle each other down. |
| 190 | ** In "Josh is Done", when Drake is forced by Mr. Roland to work with Clayton due to Josh working with a new lab partner, Craig and Eric make fun of Clayton for being a nerd, even though they are nerds themselves. |
| 191 | ** In "The Battle of Panthatar", when Josh makes a loud crying noise as Thornton un-invites him and Drake to his 16th birthday party (due to Drake unknowingly kissing his girlfriend, Maria), Crazy Steve steps in and tells the group "No yelling in the theater area", but when a woman interrupts him by asking him where the women's restroom is, he replies by shouting "I AM TALKING TO PEOPLE!!!" |
| 192 | * Mimi from ''Series/TheDrewCareyShow'' constantly makes fun of Drew's weight, calling him names like "pig", despite the fact that she's noticeably bigger than he is. |
| 193 | * ''Series/DropTheDeadDonkey'': |
| 194 | ** Sally is often guilty of this, to the point where her colleagues made a montage of her saying "I'm not one to complain, but..." And she responded to this by turning to George and saying... |
| 195 | ** In another episode, Helen finally tells her mother she's gay. Her mother responds that she knows, and it's probably hereditary because she had some same-sex relationships herself. Helen spends the rest of the episode outraged that her mother has been keeping this from her for years. |
| 196 | [[/folder]] |
| 197 | |
| 198 | [[folder:E-H]] |
| 199 | * ''Series/FawltyTowers'': Many times, Basil does exactly what he has told others not to do. |
| 200 | ** In "The Germans", Polly sticks her tongue out when Basil mutters that there always has to be a panic and argument about everything, he himself being the main culprit. And later in the episode, he famously mentions the war to some German guests. |
| 201 | --->'''Basil:''' (to Polly, in a stage whisper) Don't mention the war. I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it all right. |
| 202 | ** In "The Psychiatrist", Basil is nervous of the titular psychiatrist analysing everything he and his wife say, and he tries to tell her to take it easy, to the amusement of Terry the chef. |
| 203 | --->(Sybil takes his arm to calm him; he jumps)\ |
| 204 | '''Sybil:''' Oh Basil, why are you so nervous?\ |
| 205 | '''Basil:''' I'm not nervous, I'm just saying "take it easy".\ |
| 206 | '''Sybil:''' What's got into you?\ |
| 207 | '''Basil:''' (Frantically) Nothing's got into me, I'm just saying take it easy. All of us, just take it easy. (With increasing mania) Can't I say take it easy without starting a panic?\ |
| 208 | '''Terry:''' (Amusedly) Mr Fawlty, take it easy.\ |
| 209 | '''Basil:''' Look, let's get one thing straight. You don't tell me to take it easy. I don't pay you to tell me to take it easy. I pay you to take it easy. No, I pay you to tell you to take it easy, so take it easy, right? |
| 210 | * ''Series/FatherTed'': |
| 211 | ** Mrs. Doyle ''hates'' the language in modern novels; in fact she hates it so much that in "And God Created Woman", she spends five minutes using all of the language that she hates: |
| 212 | --->'''Mrs Doyle:''' "Ride me sideways" was another one![[note]] That line was actually ad-libbed by Creator/PaulineMcLynn and caused Creator/DermotMorgan to break up. If you watch closely, you can see that the scene is cut just as he is about to laugh out loud.[[/note]] |
| 213 | ** Another example from Mrs. Doyle is her talk of how much she hates sex. "..can you imagine Father, your husband, with his ''lad'' in his hand, ready to ''do the business'', wanting you to ''degrade yourself''...Get a good ''mental'' picture there!". Ted is eating a sausage at the time. |
| 214 | ** In "Speed 3", after Ted confronts Pat Mustard about using his job as a milkman to father illegitimate children across Craggy Island, suggesting that he should be more careful in the bedroom, Pat turns it around and asks if Ted suggests that he use ''artificial contraception?'':[[note]] Which the Catholic Church is officially emphatically opposed to.[[/note]] |
| 215 | ---> '''Ted''': ''Yes, I ...'' ''({{Beat}})'' No, I ... If you're going to be ... of course ... Oh just ''feck off!'' |
| 216 | * ''The Ferguson Theory'' (a BBC Scotland sketch show starring Creator/CraigFerguson before he moved to the US) had a sketch in which a character criticised evidence of racism in the British government, before concluding "But what do you expect from the bloody English?" |
| 217 | * ''Series/{{Firefly}}'': [[DeadpanSnarker Wash]] pulls one of these off early in "Bushwhacked''. |
| 218 | -->'''Zoe:''' Proximity alert. Must be coming up on something.\ |
| 219 | '''Wash:''' Oh my god. What can it be? We're doomed! WHO'S FLYING THIS THING?\ |
| 220 | ''[{{beat}}]''\ |
| 221 | '''Wash:''' Oh. Right. That'd be me. |
| 222 | * In his debut episode of the 90's version of ''Series/{{The Flash|1990}}'', the Trickster is about to chainsaw a woman in half in front of an "audience" of mannequins. |
| 223 | -->'''Megan Lockhart:''' Go to hell!\ |
| 224 | '''Trickster:''' Watch your language -- this is a family show!\ |
| 225 | ''[The Flash runs in and pushes her out of the way at superspeed]''\ |
| 226 | '''Trickster:''' ... the hell are ''you''? |
| 227 | ** And again in the [[Series/TheFlash2014 2014 version]], once again played by Creator/MarkHamill, after the Flash uses the same needle to administer an antidote to the Trickster's poison to a whole crowd of people: |
| 228 | --->'''Trickster:''' That wasn't very sanitary! |
| 229 | * In ''Series/TheFlash2014'' episode "Flash vs. Arrow", [[Series/{{Arrow}} Oliver Queen]] visits Central City to ask for the help of Star Labs with some analysis. While that's happening, he decides to train Barry to be a better superhero. Before said training, he tells Barry that they'll have to discuss his use of "silly code names" for his enemies. This is coming from the guy who regularly uses similar code names for his own enemies. Barry [[LampshadeHanging points this out]] by asking if the aforementioned discussion will be "over coffee with Deathstroke and The Huntress." |
| 230 | * ''Series/{{Frasier}}'': |
| 231 | ** This ''Cheers'' SpinOff also uses this a lot. |
| 232 | --->'''Roz:''' Frasier's a good guy, he's smart, he's sweet and way too good for you. Why don't you just leave, nobody here likes you anyway.\ |
| 233 | '''Julia:''' Frasier seems to.\ |
| 234 | '''Roz:''' Well he's an idiot. |
| 235 | ** In the episode where the ''Series/{{Cheers}}'' regulars show up, the lazy bar-fly Norm hits it off with Marty. When the time comes for them to part company, Marty invites Norm to catch up if ever Norm's in Seattle: |
| 236 | --->'''Marty:''' It's only six hours flying time from Boston to Seattle.\ |
| 237 | '''Norm:''' Six hours...you know sittin' there in one place, never movin'. That's, that's just not me, you know? |
| 238 | ** There's also a bit where it looks like Frasier is going to be compelled to tell the truth about Niles' feelings for Daphne at Niles' divorce deposition, thus ruining his chance of getting anything in the settlement ''and'' exposing his feelings for Daphne. Martin urges him to just lie, but Frasier feels his ethics forbid this. After the resulting argument, Frasier storms out, and Martin sneers about how Frasier buckles under pressure, and how "some of us [i.e. him] can deal with a tough situation head-on, and others just need an escape'...whilst he's pouring himself a stiff drink and Niles has retreated to his 'safe place' under the piano. |
| 239 | ** From "Shrink Rap": |
| 240 | --->'''Frasier:''' I am so tired of your exaggeration! You always make things sound 50,000 times worse than they really are! |
| 241 | ** ''Frasier'' runs on this trope, in both its one-liner and more subtle forms. The very premise of the show is a form of this trope -- a brilliant psychiatrist who is always giving people advice on how to fix their problems, but [[TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes can't figure out his own neuroses or relationships to save his life]]. |
| 242 | ** Frasier, after a falling out with Roz: "I have got to show her once and for all that I am not some meddler and she is only being paranoid! Now I'll be in my room, plotting some way to prove it!" |
| 243 | ** When Frasier is demoted to the night shift by the new station manager, he says this to Martin and Niles: |
| 244 | --> '''Frasier''': It won't be long before my loyal fans protest, and the afternoon slot is once again home to the compassionate and lovable Dr. Frasier Crane. [opens the front door] Now get the hell out, both of you! |
| 245 | * In ''Series/FreaksAndGeeks'', Daniel tells Kim he's "just trying to be rational" about why Lindsay's parents would disapprove of her. Kim does not appreciate it. |
| 246 | -->'''Kim:''' Are you calling me irrational? Because I'll tear your head off, Daniel. I'll tear it off and throw it over that fence. |
| 247 | * ''Series/{{Friends}}'': |
| 248 | ** [[Recap/FriendsS1E20TheOneWithTheEvilOrthodontist "The One With The Evil Orthodontist"]]: |
| 249 | *** Chandler spends the whole episode fretting about a woman he went on a date with not calling him back, and whether or not he should call her. When she comes round to the coffee shop to explain she had his number wrong, he thinks going to the trouble makes her look needy. |

| 253 | ** In [[Recap/FriendsS5E4TheOneWherePhoebeHatesPBS "The One Where Phoebe Hates PBS"]], When Chandler comes to Monica's apartment while Rachel's around he "causally" asks if her new secret boyfriend is better in bed then Richard. Rachel admonishes Chandler, then asks Monica if he is. |
| 254 | ** In [[Recap/FriendsS5E19TheOneWhereRossCantFlirt "The One Where Ross Can’t Flirt"]], Ross is annoyed by Chandler's frequent flirting with a delivery girl even though he is dating Monica. Chandler says it's no big deal -- until Monica says she does it all the time. |
| 255 | ** In the WhatIf episode, [[Recap/FriendsS6E15TheOneThatCouldHaveBeenPartOne "The One That Could Have Been"]], Rachel wishes her and her husband Barry were [[CallBack "on a break"]] so that she could sleep with Joey. |
| 256 | ** In [[Recap/FriendsS9E21TheOneWithTheFertilityTest "The One With The Fertility Test"]], Phoebe believes that Swedish massages are an evil corporation, even though she works at a Swedish spa herself. |
| 257 | ** In [[Recap/FriendsS9E5TheOneWithPhoebesBirthdayDinner "The One With Pheobe's Birthday Dinner"]], Chandler is angry when he finds out that Monica [[BedTrick tricked him into sleeping with her by pretending to forgive him for smoking again]] but Monica reminds him that he once told a girl he's a Kennedy. |
| 258 | * ''Series/GameOfThrones'': |
| 259 | ** In the pilot, King Robert arrives in Winterfell to offer the right-hand post in his royal council to his old ally Ned Stark. The moment they meet again, the AdiposeRex says that Ned Stark has gotten fat over the years. Ned motions to King Robert's noticeable gut, and they laugh it off, showing how close they are with each other. |
| 260 | ** In arguably one of the darkest uses of this trope imaginable, [[TortureTechnician Ramsay Snow]] has cut off [[spoiler:Theon's]] "[[GroinAttack favorite toy]]". Later, just to fuck with his mind, [[ImAHumanitarian he starts eating a conspicuous phallic shape in front of him.]] After a few seconds of silence, Ramsay reacts with mock horror that [[spoiler:Theon]] would really think this. He responds with this: |
| 261 | --->'''Ramsay:''' Nooooo. Pork sausage. Do you think I'm some sort of ''savage?'' |
| 262 | * ''Music/GarfunkelAndOates'': When the duo meet Music/WeirdAlYankovic once in the show, they gush over how they idolize him. He cheerfully asks them what their name is, and upon hearing it chews them out over mocking hard-working musicians that are just doing the best they can (which, of course, compromises at least half his songs). |
| 263 | * On ''Series/TheGeorgeLopezShow'', after Benny and George have argued with a racist: |
| 264 | -->'''Benny:''' That's just like white people, taking one group and saying they're all the same! |
| 265 | * Paris from ''Series/GilmoreGirls'' was annoyed with the fact that she couldn't find a soup kitchen to volunteer in on Thanksgiving because they were all overflowing with volunteers. "Who are all these jackasses who volunteered anyway? They can't all be students like me. They're not all putting it on a college application. I get something out of it and these other people don't get a thing. Talk about selfish!" |
| 266 | * ''Series/GimmeABreak'': When Nell's sister, Loretta, got married, it was announced that their mother would move to California to live with Nell, something that Nell desperately DID NOT WANT. In one scene, Nell tried to talk Chief Kanisky out of letting her mother live with them, by asking him, ''"Do you know what it would be like to have some pushy, loud-mouthed, know-it-all black lady move into your house and take over?!"'' After a pause, the Chief replied, ''"Yeah."'' |

| 269 | * The basic concept of Michelle in ''Series/{{Grownups}}''; a nutritionist who constantly eats junk food. |
| 270 | * On the 1970s-90s country music/comedy series ''Series/HeeHaw'', the recurring ''Gossip Girls'' sketch started with the actresses claiming that they never spread gossip in the following lyrics: "Now, we're not ones to go 'round spreadin' rumors, Why, really we're just not the gossipy kind, No, you'll never hear one of us repeating gossip, So you'd better be sure and listen close the first time!" |
| 271 | * On an episode of ''Radio/HelloCheeky'', Denis addresses the camera. |
| 272 | -->'''Denis:''' Hi, fans. It's me again -- Mr. Lovable. ''(turns to other band members)'' Will you shut up when I'm talking?! |
| 273 | * On ''Series/HomeImprovement'', Wilson's reaction to Jill telling him that Tim is getting an honorary Ph.D. (Wilson had worked his butt off to earn his Ph.D. the normal way, and Jill was in the process of doing the same.) |
| 274 | -->'''Wilson:''' I've never been a proponent of the symbolic gesture, but Tim is your husband, and he is my neighbor. We should be happy.\ |
| 275 | '''Jill:''' ''[sigh]'' You're right.\ |
| 276 | ''[{{beat}}]''\ |
| 277 | '''Wilson:''' ''A '''Ph.D.'''?! '''TIM'''?!'' |
| 278 | * ''Series/HotelHell'': Zack, the owners' son at the Angler's Lodge in Island Park, Idaho. At their morning meeting on Day 2, Zack criticizes Creator/GordonRamsay for swearing in front of his mother the night before, only to immediately use the word ''"shit"'' while she's sitting there right beside him. Gordon has great fun mocking the lad's DoubleStandard. |
| 279 | * ''Series/{{House}}'': |
| 280 | ** When Greg House puts speed in Wilson's coffee to test if Wilson is on anti-depressants, Wilson is rather livid. Later in that episode comes the revelation that Wilson has been [[NotSoAboveItAll dosing House with anti-depressants]]. Wilson may have actually been angry at House for deliberately putting him at risk of dangerous medication interactions -- but ''that'' becomes HypocriticalHumor when he follows up his rant with "give me a Vicodin before I have a stroke." |
| 281 | * In another episode he made a remark about feminists supposedly not shaving often enough. |
| 282 | ** On multiple occasions, House has criticized someone for doing drugs immediately before popping a Vicodin pill. |
| 283 | * ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'': |
| 284 | -->'''Narrator Ted:''' On the night of Stewart and Claudia's wedding, reality was the enemy. \ |
| 285 | '''Bridesmaid:''' The Peace Corps? \ |
| 286 | '''Barney:''' Yeah. I ship out tomorrow. Two Years. Some people say the Peace Corps is the most noble thing one can do. To those people I say, is it? And most of them say, yes it is. |
| 287 | ** The FramingDevice is an older Ted telling his children how he met his current wife, and so far he's been telling this story for six seasons to his eternally bored looking kids. One of his stories has Ted finding out that he can't stand his new girlfriend anymore because she just won't shut up. |
| 288 | --->'''Ted:''' So, kids, Kathy couldn't stop talking. Can you imagine how awful that is?\ |
| 289 | '''Kids:''' ... |
| 290 | ** In "Okay Awesome", after Lily tracks Marshall down to a club he ditched their boring wine-tasting party to go to, we get this conversation: |
| 291 | --->'''Lily:''' He just left! In the middle of our own party! You don't ''do'' that.\ |
| 292 | '''Robin:''' …\ |
| 293 | '''Lily:''' Unless, of course, you're chasing after somebody who's already done it, and then...and then I think it's okay. ''[trails off]'' |
| 294 | ** In "Zip Zip Zip", Lily claims that [[BouquetToss throwing the bouquet]] is an evil tradition, but when Ted asks her if she is planning on doing it in her wedding with Marshall Lily says she will. |
| 295 | ** In "Belly Full of Turkey", Robin mocks Ted by pointing out that America is the world's leader in handgun violence. However, Ted DoesntLikeGuns while Robin owns several of them, subscribes to ''Guns and Ammo'', and goes to the firing range when she needs to blow off steam. In addition, she's actually ''threatened people with guns'' at least twice that we've seen (Gael's friends and a pair of thieves who tried to steal her TV) and suggested that Marshall do the same when he's afraid his boss will fire him. |
| 296 | ** In "How Lily Stole Christmas", Lily is offended that Ted called her a grinch and then calls him "assface". |
| 297 | ** Robin's therapist tells her he's moving to Alaska. Turns out he had to stop seeing her because he was attracted to her. |
| 298 | --->'''Robin:''' ''[offended]'' So you dumped me as a patient so you could ''ask me out''?\ |
| 299 | '''Therapist:''' I'm not asking you out!\ |
| 300 | '''Robin:''' ''[disappointed]'' You're not asking me out? |
| 301 | [[/folder]] |
| 302 | |
| 303 | [[folder:I-N]] |
| 304 | * ''Series/ICarly'': Many of the episodes use this a lot. Each character even has at least one of these. |
| 305 | ** While Gibby walks out of the studio: |
| 306 | --->'''Carly:''' Poor kid. It must feel bad to love someone who doesn't love you back.\ |
| 307 | ''[Freddie turns to stare at Carly]''\ |
| 308 | '''Carly:''' Sorry. |
| 309 | ** When the gang is cleaning up the mess of the police stakeout: |
| 310 | --->'''Sam:''' Some people just have no manners. ''[throws an empty soda can on the floor for Freddie to pick up]'' |
| 311 | ** After Spencer's high-powered sculpture destroyed their longest webcast World Record attempt: |
| 312 | --->'''Spencer:''' Hey guys, don't make me look guilty like it was all my fault.\ |
| 313 | ''[Carly, Sam, and Freddie all stare at Spencer]''\ |
| 314 | '''Spencer:''' Oh yeah. |
| 315 | ** When discussing the Dingo Channel: |
| 316 | --->'''Spencer:''' Aw, I hate that channel! They always make adults look like buffoons!\ |
| 317 | '''Carly:''' You forgot to wear pants.\ |
| 318 | '''Spencer:''' Oh my God. |
| 319 | ** When [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Spencer refuses to let Carly go to an MMA fight]] because they are too violent. |
| 320 | --->'''Spencer:''' Look, I'm sorry you're upset, but I'm in charge here. You're the kid, and I'm the adult.\ |
| 321 | * Carly proceeds to take his smoothie off his hands*\ |
| 322 | '''Spencer''': YOU GIVE ME THAT BACK RIGHT NOW!\ |
| 323 | * [[ManChild Proceeds to chase Carly around and yelling at her to give him back his smoothie]]* |
| 324 | * ''Series/ICarly2021'': In "iHate Carly", Freddie starts to make fun of Nora Dershlit for still living with her parents even though he recently moved back in with his mom following a divorce (his second divorce actually) and a failed startup company. Freddie notices the hypocrisy before finishing the sentence. |
| 325 | -->'''Freddie''': You still live with your parents? That's so...''[notices hypocrisy]'' normal. |
| 326 | * In a recurring ''Series/InLivingColor'' skit, Kim Wayans played an inner-city woman named Miss Benita Buttrel, who would often decry the gossip surrounding several figures in her neighborhood...and then proceed to bury them under rumor and slander in the ugliest way possible. Nearly every time she was finished talking about someone, she would then add on, "But I ain't one to gossip, ''so you didn't hear that from me''." |
| 327 | * In "Keep Your Friends Close" from ''Series/TheInsideMan'', as Deathrage tells AJ that he can hack the Handler by using an app called [=SnapPenguins=] because people just agree to permissions, AJ agrees people are "so stupid" to do this even as he's slyly deleting [=SnapPenguins=] from his own phone. |
| 328 | * ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': In "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E4TheRuthlessPursuitOfBloodWithAllA ...The Ruthless Pursuit of Blood with All a Child's Demanding]]", Lestat de Lioncourt, a LargeHam himself, complains about Claudia's "histrionics." |
| 329 | * ''Series/{{Jessie}}'': |
| 330 | ** In "World Wide Web of Lies", Christina tells Jessie she has her under 24-hour surveillance and then complains about being under 24-hour surveillance herself by the paparazzi. |
| 331 | ** In "Driving Miss Crazy", the DMV man refuses to retake Jessie's unruly photo because they're too busy, but this doesn't stop him from taking multiple pictures of a modeling Emma. |
| 332 | * ''Series/JessicaJones2015'': Jeri Hogarth's intro scene in Season 2. She gives a rah-rah girl power speech to an audience of female lawyers, then after sitting down at a table to talk to her partners in private, claims that Pam lured her into a relationship by dressing provocatively. |
| 333 | * During the 2016 presidential race, Donald Trump's inflammatory rhetoric, and the release of an ''Access Hollywood'' tape of him making lewd remarks caused some Republicans up for re-election to unendorse him. However, pressure from the Trump Republican base caused some of those Republicans who denounced him to un-unendorse him so as not to anger those who might vote for him. Put it another way, they denounced Trump as a terrible candidate but said they'd vote for him. Best shown with Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey, whose indecisiveness prompted ''Jimmy Kimmel Live'' to create [[AttackOfThePoliticalAd a parody ad]]: |
| 334 | -->'''Toomey Impressionist:''' I'm Pat Toomey. Let me be perfectly clear where I stand on Donald Trump. I think he's a national embarrassment and a disgrace. [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs A disgraceful embarrassment]] who I am proud to support for President of the United States. Donald Trump is exactly what this country needs: [[BaitAndSwitch a man with no idea what he's talking about, a man with no respect for democracy or common decency. A man who is totally unfit for office.]] And I am proud to support him for office. ''[anti-Trump]'' You're not. ''[pro-Trump]'' Yes I am. ''[anti-Trump]'' Am not! ''[pro-Trump]'' Am so! ''[anti-Trump]'' Are not! ''[pro-Trump]'' Am too! ''[anti-Trump]'' Shut up! ''[pro-Trump]'' You shut up!\ |
| 335 | '''Narrator:''' When it comes to Donald Trump, Pat Toomey's position is clear.\ |
| 336 | '''Toomey Impressionist:''' Yes/no. ''[Both "yes" and "no" appear on the screen, overlaying each other]''\ |
| 337 | '''The real Pat Toomey:''' I'm Pat Toomey, and I approve this message.\ |
| 338 | '''Toomey Impressionist:''' You're not. |
| 339 | * A TV special highlighing the best acts from the 1990 ''Just For Laughs'' Montreal Comedy Festival had Creator/RowanAtkinson provide linking material in the form of Canadian Tourist Board representative Casey Rogers, [[DamningWithFaintPraise damning the country with faint praise]]. The finale of the special was Casey's big musical number, "Staple Me to a Maple Tree", in which he acknowledged that other countries were better in many, many ways, but that nonetheless, he personally would never leave Canada. He continued singing this as he entered the airport and showed his boarding pass, did the big finish ("Carry me back to my lumberjack shack, for Ca-na-da's my HOOOOME!") as he got on the plane, and the last thing we hear is him saying "Oh, thank God!" as it takes off. |
| 340 | * ''Series/JustShootMe'': |
| 341 | ** This was half of Maya's repertoire, aside from [[SoapboxSadie shrill activism]]. Oddly enough, there were other times where they didn't seem to be playing it as a gag, she just was... hypocritical. (For instance, deriding Elliot for his nerdy looks back in high school.) In fact, there were times where this seemed to be a SpoofAesop, implying that others were being ''unreasonable'' in asking her to stop berating someone over their looks or social status, or for her to apologize for doing so. |
| 342 | ** Jack was also prone to it, especially where Maya is concerned. He tries to make her break up with a much older boyfriend in one episode, despite being married to one of Maya's high school friends. |
| 343 | * ''Series/KeepingUpAppearances'': Hyacinth Bucket says quite frequently how much she hates snobbery, followed by her doing snobbish things. |
| 344 | * ''Series/KenanAndKel'': Chris constantly falls victim to this. One example: |
| 345 | -->'''Chris:''' Now remember, Kenan. You shouldn't jump to conclusions. ''(Looks at a customer for a brief second)'' Theif! |
| 346 | ** Also, there was the episode when Kenan gives a speech to Kel about being more mature... but when a clown comes out of nowhere, they begin to act like 6-year-olds. |
| 347 | --->'''Kenan:''' We're teenagers. It's time we grew up.\ |
| 348 | '''Kel:''' Yeah, I guess you're right.\ |
| 349 | ''[Kenan and Kel both gasp with excitement upon seeing the clown]''\ |
| 350 | '''Both:''' CLOWN!!! |
| 351 | * In ''Series/LarkRiseToCandleford'', Dorcas Lane has a tendency to describe whatever vice/indulgence she's about to enjoy -- fine food, fine baths, clothes, etc -- as "my one weakness". |
| 352 | * Robbie is one of the most active people in ''Series/LazyTown'' due to his schemes... despite said schemes revolving around making the tow's citizens lazy and unhealthy. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in one of the episodes where Sportacus points out how active the villain really is. |
| 353 | * ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'': Leonard Snart chides Damien Darhk for taking the time to do a "Bad Guy Monologue". Snart himself did that in his debut episode over on ''Series/TheFlash2014'', and it's the only reason why the title character survived the episode. |
| 354 | * ''Series/{{Letterkenny}}'': Gail tries to sell Wayne and Katy on creating a ''Series/TheBachelor'' rip-off starring Wayne in which women will compete for his affections. Wayne is extremely interested and asks a barrage of questions before finally deciding that it's just not for him. When Katy suggests that they do a gender-inverse version for her, Wayne responds, "What? Gross! No!" and immediately vetoes it. |
| 355 | * ''Series/{{Life on Mars|2006}}'': While on a drug-related case with Sam, Gene admits that his brother was an addict and that he could never understand why. Sam mentions that addiction is usually a sign of something missing at home. |
| 356 | -->'''Gene''': Yeah, but me and 'im were brought up exactly the same. I'm not addicted. ''(Takes a drink from his hip-flask)''. |
| 357 | * ''Series/MacGyver1985'': Penny Parker in a foreign country: "Oh, you don't know how good it is to see someone from back home. They're all foreigners here". |
| 358 | * ''Series/MadAboutYou'': Ira attempts to bribe a college professor into letting Jamie into his class. When Ira asks what he teaches, the professor coolly replies, ''"Ethics."'' In their very next scene, the professor is taking Ira's money and approving Jamie's entry into his class. |
| 359 | * In an episode of ''Series/MadeInCanada'', Richard Strong tells the star of their most popular show to get hair replacement surgery in Mexico, where it's much cheaper. Cut to a report of him dying of post-operative infection "I begged him not to get those hair implants.". |
| 360 | * ''Series/{{MADtv}}'': There's a sketch spoofing ''Series/LawAndOrder'' where the ColdOpen of random people finding a corpse is either nonsensical or [[{{Filler}} unnecessarily elaborate]]. It includes a mafia hitman interrupting one of his kills (strangling someone to death with a cord for being a rat) because he's shocked to find a nearby corpse he wasn't aware of. |
| 361 | * ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'', Al spends many episodes insulting females for being unattractive despite the fact that he's just as unattractive. |
| 362 | * ''Series/{{MASH}}'': |
| 363 | ** In its first couple of seasons, they would often show [[StrawHypocrite Majors Burns and Houlihan]] spying on and expressing disgust at the sexual dalliances of the other characters...which would get the Majors so horny they'd immediately start fooling around themselves. |
| 364 | ** In a later season, Hawkeye and B.J. start riffing on famous Shakespearean phrases ("Friends, Romans and Countrymen, lend me your ears, I promise to return them.") Winchester counters with a straight reading of the ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' line, "There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Hawkeye replies, "Man, if there's one thing I hate, it's someone who butchers Shakespeare." |
| 365 | ** Another instance: |
| 366 | --->'''Klinger:''' It was all just a misunderstanding; I would never try to bribe an officer! ''[{{beat}}]'' Ten bucks to forget the whole thing. |
| 367 | ** Another example: |
| 368 | --->'''Charles:''' I won it in a debate. "Should the U.S. permit more liberal immigration?" I, of course, took the negative. My family has had problems with immigrants ever since we came to America. |
| 369 | ** And another: |
| 370 | --->'''Frank:''' The way I see it, unless we each conform, unless we obey orders, unless we follow our leaders blindly, there is no possible way we can remain free. |
| 371 | ** Frank again, possibly paying homage to ''Film/DrStrangelove'': |
| 372 | --->'''Frank:''' ''[to an angry patient]'' There's a war on, and we've no time for violence! |
| 373 | ** In one episode, Frank is complaining to Henry about Hawkeye's various violations of military discipline. |
| 374 | --->'''Henry:''' (''reading Frank's complaint'') "Lack of military courtesy: Captain Pierce constantly calls me by my first name."\ |
| 375 | '''Frank:''' Not allowed, Henry. Page 85, Army Officer's Guide. [[note]]This one is pretty blatant LampshadeHanging, since Frank virtually never calls Henry by his name.[[/note]] |
| 376 | ** In one early episode, Radar asks Henry to sign a form: |
| 377 | --->'''Henry:''' I don't want to sign anything, Radar. ''You'' sign it.\ |
| 378 | '''Radar:''' ''[after signing]'' Sir, would you sign that I signed?\ |
| 379 | '''Henry:''' I'll sign that. ''[signs]'' |
| 380 | * On ''Series/McLeodsDaughters'', Claire chastises Jodie for believing that she's been cursed for tearing up a chain letter, saying that there is no justification for superstition. She immediately proceeds to knock a container of salt and throws it over her shoulder. |
| 381 | * ''Series/MimpiMetropolitan'': |
| 382 | ** In Bambang's second meeting with Melani, Bambang calls Alexi disrespectful for disturbing Melani with unnecessary phone calls. Bambang's next sentence is asking for her phone number. |
| 383 | ** In episode 18, Chef MSG is offended that Mami Bibir is disgusted with his cooking. One tasting later, he has the same reaction as Mami. |
| 384 | ** In episode 29, Alan tells Bambang and Prima that they should be manly and calm about the arrival of their new rivals, Alexi and Juna. Right after that, Alan's love interest Pipin smittenly goes after Alexi and Juna which makes Alan panics, giving Bambang and Prima a chance to throw his words back to him. |
| 385 | ** After Bambang calls Melani smarter than Pipin in episode 32, Pipin insists that she is smart to Bambang, then immediately asks Melani what is a "[[{{Malaproper}} popon]]" (popcorn). |
| 386 | ** In episode 38, the day after Bambang gets jealous seeing Melani and Juna together, Alan gives Bambang some calming advice when Juna taunts Bambang. Then Juna taunts ''Alan'', and he immediately breaks his own words and starts yelling at Juna until Bambang calms him down in turn. |
| 387 | ** In episode 44, Bambang has the gall to call Juna noisy after bothering a sleeping Alan by acting like a preparing wrestler. |
| 388 | * ''Series/{{Monk}}'': |
| 389 | ** "Mr. Monk and the Leper": When Monk overreacts to shaking hands with a leper (who turns out to have been a phony), Natalie has to talk him out of lighting his hand on fire, acting all calm and reasonable. Cut to later in the episode, when Natalie makes out with Dr. Aaron Polanski, an expert on leprosy, who knows the disease well because he reveals that he had the disease. She freaks out, drinking hot water directly out of her house faucet and telling Julie to fill a bathtub with Listerine. The next day, when Monk and Natalie go to Mandy Bronson's house to investigate, Monk is disturbed to see Natalie drinking a bottle of mouthwash: |
| 390 | --->'''Adrian Monk:''' Are you ''drinking'' that?\ |
| 391 | '''Natalie Teeger:''' ''[gulps]'' Mmm-hmm!\ |
| 392 | '''Adrian Monk:''' Where’s the woman who’s been lecturing me all week about compassion and tolerance?!\ |
| 393 | '''Natalie Teeger:''' Okay, you know what? It’s not funny! You didn’t have your tongue down his throat!\ |
| 394 | '''Adrian Monk:''' Well I shook hands with one! That’s bad enough!\ |
| 395 | '''Natalie Teeger:''' ''Your'' leper wasn’t even a real leper! ''My'' leper was the real deal!\ |
| 396 | '''Adrian Monk:''' I ''thought'' he was real! That’s what counts! You know the old saying, “There is no heart so black as the black, black heart of the Phony Leper”?\ |
| 397 | '''Natalie Teeger:''' No! I never heard that one! |
| 398 | ** In "Mr. Monk and the Voodoo Curse", Randy cites his astrological sign -- Pisces -- as the reason he isn't superstitious. |
| 399 | ** In "Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever", Monk has witnessed a gang shooting and is in WitnessProtection under Agent Grooms. On their way to the safehouse, they stop at the general store to stock up on supplies, and Agent Grooms tells Monk, Natalie, and Stottlemeyer to not do anything that could draw attention to themselves.....while he's wearing a very conspicuous three-piece suit. [[LampshadeHanging Natalie even lampshades it]]. |
| 400 | * The number of ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' sketches using HypocriticalHumour would probably fill a page all on its own. |
| 401 | ** For example: |
| 402 | --->Dear Sir, I object strongly to the letters on your programme. They are clearly not written by the general public and are merely included for a cheap laugh. Yours sincerely etc., William Knickers. |
| 403 | ** "I! WOULD PUT A TAX! ON ALL PEOPLE! WHO'D STAND! IN WATER! [[LampshadeHanging WHOA!]]" |
| 404 | ** This little gem from the Argument Clinic sketch. |
| 405 | --->'''Mr Barnard:''' Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.\ |
| 406 | '''Man:''' Yes, but that's not just saying "No it isn't."\ |
| 407 | '''Mr. Barnard:''' Yes it is!\ |
| 408 | '''Man:''' No it isn't! |
| 409 | ** The Argument Clinic sketch "ends" when a policeman named [[SmithOfTheYard Inspector Thompson's Gazelle of the Yard]] arrives to arrest the whole show on three counts: BreakingTheFourthWall, "Always saying it's so-and-so of the yard whenever the fuzz arrives" and getting out of using a {{Punchline}} by "[[ExplainExplainOhCrap simply ending every bleeding sketch by just having a policeman come in and... Wait a minute...]]" (this immediately causes him to be arrested as well). |
| 410 | * In the ''Series/MurdochMysteries'' ElectionDayEpisode, Mrs. Brackenreid tells her husband exactly why he shouldn't vote for several of the candidates, and then when he suggests that leaves the suffragists, says that she doesn't understand why some women want the vote, she's quite content leaving it to him. |
| 411 | * In an episode of ''Series/MyNameIsEarl'', Joy tells [[ManChild Randy]] he needs to get a job and start acting like an adult... right before turning around and yelling at her husband for stealing gummy worms from her trick-or-treat bucket. |
| 412 | * A quick little pre-fab joke on ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' would come in the form of a character in a given movie opening a sentence with a qualifying statement, only for the riffers to crowbar in an ImmediateSelfContradiction: |
| 413 | -->"I'm not trying to sound selfish..." "''But I want everything for ME!''" |
| 414 | -->"Look, I don't want to sound skeptical or anything..." "''But this is'' such ''crap!''" |
| 415 | * Kate in ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' complained about Tony's porn obsession but looked at porn sites herself off-work and moaned about the sexual objectification of women just before finding a bunch of shirtless men being photographed highly attractive. We'll put the Wet T-Shirt contest in her college days as something that occurred when drunk. |
| 416 | * ''Night Stand With Dick Dietrick'', in an episode about anger: |
| 417 | -->'''Dick:''' So I was driving down the freeway the other day, and I cut somebody off, no big deal. The next thing I knew, this woman is honking and [[FlippingTheBird flipping me the birdie finger.]] If I hadn't waved my gun, who knows what she would've done! I'm tellin' ya, folks, she was ''crazy''. |
| 418 | * From an episode of ''Series/NickyRickyDickyAndDawn'': |
| 419 | --> '''Tom:''' Kids are easily excited over the silliest things. ''[sees a gallon of ice cream]'' Ooh, neon pistachio glow ice cream! |
| 420 | ** In the episode, "I Want Candance", the first three titular characters are appalled at their sister for saying that they're always butting in her business...which they heard while eavesdropping on her private conversations through the landline phone. |
| 421 | * In the ''Series/{{NUMB3RS}}'' episode "Finders Keepers": |
| 422 | -->'''Millie:''' Now, I know it sounds like I'm in danger of not having a point here, but I do, and it's this: Out at sea, all bets are off. You encounter forces that you could never, ever anticipate. Granted, some of those forces have to do with, you know, being confined to a very small space with someone who you thought you knew but clearly didn't, someone who is so enamored with the sound of their own voice that they could just talk endlessly for hours and hours without ever needing to even have to take a breath...\ |
| 423 | '''Charlie:''' Millie --\ |
| 424 | '''Millie:''' (''not missing a beat'') I mean, you don't know what it's like.\ |
| 425 | '''Charlie:''' You said you had a point? |
| 426 | [[/folder]] |
| 427 | |
| 428 | [[folder:O-S]] |
| 429 | * ''Series/OddSquad'': |
| 430 | ** In "Reindeer Games", Santa Claus informs Oprah that she's been placed on his naughty list for the year. When she asks why, he tells her that she sometimes raises her voice. She then angrily asks him, in a loud booming voice, when she's ever raised her voice at someone. For the cherry on top, Oscar then comes over, stating that he couldn't help but overhear Oprah raising her voice. |
| 431 | ** At the end of "The Perfect Lunch", Olive, Oscar and Otto are tasked with hosting a dinner for the [[MoleMen mole people]] next week, and it just so happens that the precinct has an agent who knows all about them. Olive believes it's Obfusco and complains about having to endure more of his WordSaladPhilosophy, but Obfusco tells her that it's not him -- it's his sister, Obfuscolina, whom he complains about by saying that he can't understand a word she says. |
| 432 | ** In "Flawed Squad", after Father Time freezes Precinct 13579's agents, he explains that he can only use his powers once every hour and that they last for a minute, the Shapeshifter asks him, "So what, you're just a guy?" Later on, she reveals that she can only shapeshift into the same person or object once a week, causing Father Time to slyly remark, "[[LampshadeHanging Who's just a guy]] ''[[LampshadeHanging now?]]''" |
| 433 | ** In "New Jacket Required", when Otis is resisting getting a new jacket to replace his damaged one, Oprah responds that Odd Squad is a professional workplace. In the next shot, a couple agents are shown on tricycles in the background, riding past her office. |
| 434 | ** Throughout "Other Olympia", Otis finds it ridiculous that Olympia is getting worked up over someone having the same name as her. At the end of the episode, after the name-off between the two Olympias, Oprah introduces a recently-hired agent whose name just so happens to be Otis...and the original Otis becomes so upset that he declares a name-off clear off the bat. |
| 435 | ** In "It Takes Goo to Make a Feud Go Right", Queen Goo is asked by Olympia what she likes to eat, and she states that she's not picky just before saying that she only likes to eat orange things. Later on, a similar exchange occurs with Otis and King Berry, with the king saying that he's "easy-peasy" before remarking that he only likes eating spherical things. |
| 436 | ** In "It's Not Easy Being Chill", as Oswald, Opal and Orla are walking through a meadow, [[CowardlyLion Oswald]] vents to his two partners about Orpita not choosing him as the subject of her Agent Report, as he believes that he's chill. He then asks them if they think he's chill with all the excitement of a little kid on Christmas day. |
| 437 | * ''Series/TheOfficeUS'': |
| 438 | ** In "Business School", a bat is loose in the office, Creed suggests killing it, Kelly tells him not to kill it because it's a living thing with feelings and a family, seconds later when it flies toward her she yells "Kill it! Kill it!". |
| 439 | ** In "Lice", when Meridith shows up with her newly shaven head, a disturbed Creed says that "Bald people make me sick", despite the fact that he is practically bald himself. |
| 440 | * In ''Series/OnceUponATime'', when [[WesternAnimation/{{Brave}} Merida]] is introduced in Season 5, she has a very thick Scottish accent, which Rumplestiltskin makes fun of, asking Emma "What's she saying? I mean, the accent, it's a bit much, isn't it?" Rumplestiltskin's actor, Creator/RobertCarlyle, has a noticeable Scottish accent himself, though it's perhaps not quite as thick as Merida's (or rather, Enchanted Forest Rumple has such a weird-sounding voice that the accent isn't what you notice.) |
| 441 | * Played straight in the ''Series/OnlyFoolsAndHorses'' episode "Little Problems". Del is asked to make a contribution to his younger brother's wedding and doesn't want to pay out too much money. Once he realizes that the bride's father only means a contribution of ideas and opinions, he attempts to get out of his earlier suggestion of using the old pub for the reception and back to a country club. When Alan anxiously asks, "But surely you don't like all that type of thing, do you?", Del replies, "Oh, I hate it. I hate it, Alan. I mean, those sorts of people only do things for effect," as he is served a massive cocktail, complete with fruit and umbrellas. |
| 442 | * ''Series/OrangeIsTheNewBlack'' uses this a fair amount. |
| 443 | ** Two examples from the episode "The Chickening": |
| 444 | --->'''Red:''' Black girls hear about a chicken, of course this will happen.\ |
| 445 | '''Chapman:''' Why? Because all black people love chicken?\ |
| 446 | '''Red:''' Don't be racist! Because they're all on heroin. Somebody's been telling them there's heroin in the chicken. |
| 447 | ** Later, from that same exchange: |
| 448 | --->'''Red:''' Those Spanish probably won't even eat [the chicken], just cut her throat and drink her blood, or something else superstitious. All I wanted was to eat the chicken that is smarter than other chickens and to absorb its power. And make a nice Kiev. |
| 449 | * ''Series/PersonOfInterest'': Root seems fond of this. When [[EvilCounterpart Martine]] shows up having changed from blonde hair to brown, Root lampshades it by commenting "I liked you better as a blonde" while [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown trying to choke Martine to death]]. Three guesses who else is a natural blonde, and the first two don't count. Also, from the Season 2 finale, when a man mentions the death of a woman a year previously (who Root had actually murdered). |
| 450 | -->'''Root:''' Such a tragedy.\ |
| 451 | ''[Finch gives her an AsideGlance]'' |
| 452 | * ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'': |
| 453 | ** In "Idol", Jack is left in charge of SPD while Commander Cruger is away. An alien ship enters Earth's atmosphere, and Bridge repeatedly attempts to warn Jack, who refuses to be interrupted as he is talking. When the other rangers finally get his attention and tell him about the incoming threat, he admonishes Bridge for "waiting until the last minute" to tell him. |
| 454 | ** In "Perspective", Commander Cruger is asking the rangers to tell him about their most recent battle due to the satellite surveillance footage being disrupted. Red Ranger Jack goes first, corrupting the story with his own vanity. Blue Ranger Sky attempts to retell the story accurately but makes the same mistake. |
| 455 | --->'''Jack:''' Someone is a victim of their own imagination. |
| 456 | * ''Series/{{Psych}}'' gets about as hypocritical as is possible in the Season 4 pilot, when Shawn is discussing his powers with a [[ItMakesSenseInContext Canadian police officer]]: |
| 457 | -->'''Shawn:''' You've seen ''Series/TheMentalist'', right?\ |
| 458 | '''Rob:''' Yes.\ |
| 459 | '''Shawn:''' It's like that.\ |
| 460 | '''Gus:''' Except that guy's a fake.\ |
| 461 | '''Shawn:''' Right. If I was a fake psychic, it would be eerily similar.\ |
| 462 | '''Gus:''' Exactly the same.\ |
| 463 | '''Shawn:''' [[TakeThat A virtual carbon copy.]] |
| 464 | * ''Series/RadioEnfer'': |
| 465 | ** Jocelyne wishes good luck to Vincent for an interview he was having, with the latter saying that she should wish him 'crap' instead (wishing 'crap' to someone in French is the equivalent in English of wishing someone to "break a leg"). Jocelyne then prevents him from fully saying that word, stating a student can get a week of detention from school psychologists for saying it. This is immediately followed by her having trouble dipping a baby-cut carrot in a dipping sauce, exclaiming 'Crap!' in annoyance. |
| 466 | ** One episode revolves around the teens playing a game with a teacher named Hervé Duguay, in which case they use nerf guns to kill their opponents. Mr. Giroux catches Camille and Vincent playing that game and reprimands them in his office, telling them to grow up. They agree, only for Hervé to show up and shoot Giroux, revealing that the latter was playing that game as well. Naturally, the principal earns a glare from Vincent and a smug smile from Camille, much to his embarrassment. |
| 467 | ** Another episode has Camille, Maria, and Jocelyne complaining about men, due to Camille's then-boyfriend, Fred, going to a concert with his ex because Camille wasn't available. The three of them complain about how men are treating women as if like they were their slaves, all while giving orders to Jean-Lou like if he was their slave. |
| 468 | ** Carl once lies to Jean-Lou by saying he had an indigestion to explain why he didn't help the latter with his homework. This is immediately followed by Laplante (who is known for lying rather frequently) criticizing Carl for lying. |
| 469 | ** During an episode where he kept being bullied by Killer Barette, Germain thought the bully's name was weird, causing Carl to reply: |
| 470 | --->'''Carl:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh yeah, you're one to talk]], [[RepetitiveName Germain St-Germain]]. |
| 471 | ** When Carl tries to use Vincent's apartment for a date that he is planning to have with a girl named Catherine, Vincent is angry when he finds out about it, with Dominique agreeing by saying "Carl, it's really bad to invade someone's private life like that." The irony being that she herself invaded Vincent's private life during that episode. |
| 472 | ** Germain tries to tell Jocelyne and Dominique about him wanting to be the president for the International Frog Collectors Association, but they both ignore him while having their own conversation. Then, Dominique asks Germain what he thinks about people's reaction when someone becomes a millionaire, only for the nerd to reply that he wasn't listening. This is immediately followed by both her and Jocelyne criticizing him for that, with Jocelyne saying that it's very impolite to not listen when someone talks. |
| 473 | * ''Series/{{Reba}}'': |
| 474 | ** When Barbra Jean claims to be an excellent parent, count on her to have or make some parenting mistake for Reba to call her out on next (for example, if Henry isn't present when Barbra Jean makes such a remark, Reba would ask "Where's Henry?" and Barbra Jean would realize she left him alone at home and rush back to him). |
| 475 | ** Whenever Brock points out the tendency of Barbra Jean and/or Reba hitting him, expect the very one(s) he criticizes to hit him to make him shut up. |
| 476 | ** Barbra Jean suspects Brock of cheating on her several times, even as she flirts with other men. |
| 477 | ** Brock criticizes men that Reba (tries to) date without success, resulting in either Reba making a snarky comment back at him and/or Brock trying to justify himself. |
| 478 | ** In Season 2's episode "The Wall", Reba has this with Barbara Jean while returning Elizabeth's blanket: |
| 479 | --->'''Barbara Jean:''' They're Elizabeth's real grandparents, right next to you and Brock. I'm just a young attractive woman that married her grandfather.\ |
| 480 | '''Reba:''' How can you be so selfish?! This isn't about you! This is about ''me''! ''(hits Barbara Jean on the arm)'' |
| 481 | ** During the episode "Sweet Child O' Mine", Barbra Jean claims that she was an AttentionWhore but outgrew it over time... before doing a hand-less HairFlip and saying "stop looking at me" with a smiley face upon seeing Reba staring at her (more out of annoyance and/or exasperation than appreciation on Reba's part). |
| 482 | ** Early in the episode "Bullets Over Brock", after Van and Jake have a loud argument over Jake's performance in his soccer team and Van's treatment of said team, the following dialogue involving Cheyenne and Van comes across as such: |
| 483 | --->'''Cheyenne:''' ''[quietly]'' Van, Mom just came back from the doctor's office and her blood pressure is off the charts, so keep your voice down.\ |
| 484 | '''Van:''' ''[loudly]'' But that kid [Jake] is such an embarrass--\ |
| 485 | '''Cheyenne:''' ''[more loudly]'' '''''VAN, DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID?! STOP YELLING!'''''\ |
| 486 | '''Reba:''' ''[emerges from behind the shelf space]'' Cheyenne, didn't I tell you I need peace and quiet?!\ |
| 487 | '''Van:''' Yeah, Cheyenne, what's the matter with you? |
| 488 | * ''Series/RedDwarf'': |
| 489 | ** More like humor based off of hypocrisy, but Rimmer finds out Lister is using illegal learning drugs to study for his Chef's Exam. Rimmer demands names, places, and dates. "Arnold Rimmer, his locker, this morning." |
| 490 | ** Upon checking Captain Hollister's comments on [[LazyBum Lister]] and finding them to be less than positive, Rimmer is full of praise for Hollister's captaincy...until he checks his own file and learns that the captain considers him a useless, overzealous lunatic, at which point he starts [[IResembleThatRemark seething about how Hollister resented his entirely fictitious popularity and sabotaged his proposal to shorten the minimum haircut length by a miniscule amount]]. |
| 491 | ** In "Parallel Universe", the ''Red Dwarf'' crew wind up in a parallel universe where their counterparts are female. This episode contains a trifecta of hypocritical humour. |
| 492 | ### Lister is turned off by his female counterpart [[TheLadette drinking six pints of lager and belching the whole of "Yankee Doodle Dandy"]]. Rimmer points out the irony of this situation, as Lister is a complete slob himself. |
| 493 | ### Rimmer is disgusted by his female counterpart groping him and making sexual advances on him. Earlier in the episode, Lister was chiding Rimmer on his chauvinistic sexual advances on various women. |
| 494 | ### Rimmer's opposite makes the aforementioned sexual advances on Rimmer. When she finds out that the two Listers got drunk enough to [[ScrewYourself get in bed together]], she questions why one would make love to oneself. |
| 495 | ** In "Stasis Leak", Rimmer is outraged that Lister is reading his diary. Lister doesn't see what the fuss is about and says Rimmer's free to read ''his'' diary: |
| 496 | --->'''Rimmer:''' Who'd want to read ''your'' diary? It's full of puerile nonsense about Kristine Kochanski.\ |
| 497 | '''Lister:''' Ah, so you ''have'' read my diary.\ |
| 498 | '''Rimmer:''' Yes, but at least I had the common decency to do it sneakily behind your back. |
| 499 | * In "Secrets" from ''Series/ResidentAlien'', when the Harry alien refers to the lake the foot of the human Harry was found in as "my lake" to Judy, she tells him that the lake belongs to the state of Colorado. She asks if he's trying to impress her and suggests that he be a little less needy and a little more sensitive, because somebody's died, then shouts "Come on, can we see the foot?!" |
| 500 | * ''Series/RoyalCanadianAirFarce'': |
| 501 | ** In the November 18, 1999 episode, Dave the Cabbie complains to a passenger that "there are too many immigrants coming over here and living off us hard-working Canadians!" Then he mentions that he has to pick up his welfare cheque after work. |
| 502 | ** In the March 31, 2000 episode, John Morgan is on a commuter train and two of his fellow passengers start having loud conversations on their cell phones. He picks up an imaginary phone and starts having a pretend conversation about how he's "sitting in the middle of a couple of cell phone A-holes" and how obnoxious it is to talk on a cell phone in public. After the "cell phone A-holes" get up and leave, though, Morgan takes out an actual cell phone and makes a call of his own. |
| 503 | ** In the April 14, 2000 episode, Vera asks her friends at the donut shop if they got their Lotto 649 tickets for the week. Charlie gets upset and says that lotteries are a tax on the stupid, people have a better chance of getting hit by a bus than winning, and lotteries are for "lazy unmotivated people who don't want to do an honest day's work." Al asks how many tickets he bought, and Charlie replies, "The usual, six." |
| 504 | * In ''Series/SamanthaWho'', Samantha is relating an incident to her ex-boyfriend, breaking off to ask him to 'Please put down the baloney, I'm trying to tell you how I don't need attention from men anymore!' |
| 505 | * Music/TaylorSwift wrote a musical monologue when she hosted ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' (November 7, 2009). The song consists of her talking about stuff she likes, the [[{{Jerkass}} douchebags]] in her life, who she may or may not be dating now, but she ends each verse with "I'm not gonna talk about X in my monologue." |
| 506 | * The ''Series/SavedByTheBellTheNewClass'' episode "The Love Bugs" has some examples of this. |
| 507 | ** Lindsay's opinion of Tommy: |
| 508 | --->'''Lindsay''': Really? Well, with Tommy, what you see is what you get. He's always just himself. He'd never do anything sneaky. |
| 509 | --->*hard cut to Tommy listening in on the girls' conversation through the bug* |
| 510 | ** At the end of the episode, after Lindsay gives Tommy and Ryan a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech for placing bugs in her bedroom and announces her decision to [[TakeAThirdOption take Maria to the concert instead of either Tommy or Ryan]] at the moment that Screech is holding a sale at the gym in a desperate attempt to raise enough money to pay for the equipment Tommy used to eavesdrop on the girls before it got broken, all while trying to keep it hidden from Mr. Belding because Screech fails to tell him what happened to the equipment: |
| 511 | --->'''Screech:''' And if I might butt in, Tommy, you should have told Lindsay what you did a long time ago.\ |
| 512 | '''Mr. Belding:''' ''[through the bugging radio equipment]'' That's good advice, Screech. You should have taken it yourself.[[note]]Mr. Belding turns out to have found and fixed the broken equipment, as well as placing a bug under a football helmet that's among the things Screech attempts to sell to raise money.[[/note]] |
| 513 | * Extremely common in ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' episodes. E.g.: Elliot makes a crack about Dr. Cox's god complex. Dr. Cox claims he has no idea what she's talking about, only to demand a random extra kiss his ring. In another episode, JD complains about a former patient following him around like she has no other friends; immediately after Turk goes to see his wife and JD says "I'll go with you." "[[LampshadeHanging Of course]]." |
| 514 | * ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'': |
| 515 | ** In "The Jimmy", Jerry asked Kramer "Do you really feel the need to use a lot of obscenities at the dentist's office?" It's interesting because Jerry once used a [[Franchise/StarTrek colorful metaphor]] to describe how good his yogurt was. |
| 516 | ** While asking about a girl Jerry is trying to set him up with, George states that he demands a full, thick head of hair on a woman while scratching at his balding scalp. |
| 517 | ** In "The Checks", while trying to pitch a pilot to Japan, Kramer asks Jerry why anyone would want to watch a show about four single people and their failed dating lives -- that is a description of the show itself. |
| 518 | * ''Series/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents2017'': |
| 519 | ** In the first part of "The Bad Beginning", Olaf's troupe complains about the meal the children made for them while still eating it. |
| 520 | ** In "The Austere Academy Part 1", the Baudelaires encounter Carmelita Spats, an [[SpoiledBrat odious little girl]] whose go-to insult is the bizarre-sounding "cakesniffer". In "The Austere Academy Part 2", when they sneak into the cafeteria at Prufrock Prep after hours, she's also there... literally sniffing a cake. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything With white powdered sugar on it]]. |
| 521 | * ''Series/ShakeItUp'' is full of these: |
| 522 | ** In "Meatball It Up", Flynn complains about [=CeCe=] and Rocky swimming in the money they got from the bank; however, the girls catch him trying to steal half of the money. |
| 523 | ** Rocky is a LoonyFan of Justin Starr and throughout "Age It Up" keeps obsessing over him and trying to have him all for herself. When it is revealed in the end that [[ReallySeventeenYearsOld he is really 24 and married to his manager]], what is her reaction? "I knew there was something about you the moment I first saw you, which is the reason why I was never that big of a fan". |
| 524 | ** In "Party It Up", [=CeCe=] and Rocky blackmail Ty and Deuce into covering for them while they sneak out to Gary Wilde's party by threatening to expose them for hijacking a golf cart. Later, Flynn finds out and shakes each of them down for 20 bucks. |
| 525 | --->'''[=CeCe=]:''' I can't believe I'm being blackmailed by my own brother!\ |
| 526 | '''Deuce:''' [[LampshadeHanging Really? You didn't have a problem in the concept of what you were doing to us.]] |
| 527 | * ''Series/ShaunMicallefsMadAsHell'' has a few of these from [[TheAhnold Darius Horsham]], whose performance is an exaggeration of Senator Mathias Cormann's European accent turned into an Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger impression: |
| 528 | ** In response to Shaun's joke about Cormann that "[[LaymansTerms Plain English]] isn't his first language", Darius tells him, "You shouldn't make fun of the way people talk, Shaun." |
| 529 | ** In the middle of a discussion about getting tax cuts past the Senate crossbench: |
| 530 | --->'''Darius:''' Why do you think someone like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Martin_(Australian_politician) Steve Martin]] agreed to vote with us?\ |
| 531 | '''Shaun:''' ''[as Creator/SteveMartin]'' Oh, I don't know, because he's a wild and crazy guy?\ |
| 532 | '''Darius:''' Shaun, this is neither the time nor the place for terrible impressions. |
| 533 | * The first episode of Season 2 of ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' gives us this: |
| 534 | -->'''Mrs. Hudson:''' ...Family is all we have in the end, Mycroft Holmes.\ |
| 535 | '''Mycroft:''' Oh, shut up, Mrs. Hudson!\ |
| 536 | '''Sherlock and John:''' ''[in unison, outraged]'' MYCROFT!\ |
| 537 | '''Mycroft:''' Apologies.\ |
| 538 | '''Mrs. Hudson:''' Thank you.\ |
| 539 | '''Sherlock:''' ''[to Mrs. Hudson]'' Though do, in fact, shut up. |
| 540 | * ''Series/SixFeetUnder'': Bordering between this and NWordPrivileges: |
| 541 | -->'''Gabe:''' ''[to a hipster that bumped into him]'' Faggot!\ |
| 542 | '''Claire:''' Hey, shut up! My brother is a faggot. |
| 543 | * From ''Series/SlingsAndArrows'': |
| 544 | -->'''Anna:''' I was asking about pot. You know, marijuana.\ |
| 545 | '''Maria:''' I know what pot is. So, you assume I'm a pothead, as well as a lesbian? Because all stage managers are pot-smoking lesbians, right?\ |
| 546 | '''Anna:''' No! \ |
| 547 | '''Maria:''' Well, I'm sorry to disappoint 'cha, but... I'm all out. This process has been hard on my stash, and my guy's out of town 'till Tuesday. Sorry. |
| 548 | * In ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', when Chloe notices minor earthquakes around town... |
| 549 | -->'''Chloe:''' [[ManOfSteelWomanOfKleenex I thought you said you couldn't...]]\ |
| 550 | '''Lana:''' [[LightningCanDoAnything Normally, we couldn't, but...]]\ |
| 551 | '''Clark:''' You guys talk about this?!\ |
| 552 | '''Lana:''' What? It's just [[PlatonicLifePartners Chloe]]. |
| 553 | ** Chloe is nice enough not to mention that Clark spent a sizable amount of time complaining to Chloe about his sex life in an earlier season. |
| 554 | * The first episode of ''Series/SomeAssemblyRequired'' had a scene where Piper is trying to watch a movie in a theater, but a teen girl in the audience is talking on her cell phone, distracting Piper from the film. When Piper asks the teen girl to shut up, her response is "Do you mind? I'm on the phone!" |
| 555 | * Done subtly and hilariously in one episode of ''Series/SpinCity''. Having invited a gangsta rapper to the mayor's office over the matter of his lyrics, Carter says, "And remember, no gangsta stereotypes!" The rapper arrives and reaches into his coat for a business card... and Carter screams "GUN!" and dives behind a desk. Later on, when the rapper reaches into his pocket for something else, Carter does it ''again''. |
| 556 | * In the ''Staged'' episode "Who the F#!k is Michael Sheen?", [[Creator/MichaelSheen Michael]] lectures Simon on honesty while lying to his neigbour. And [[Creator/DavidTennant David]] calls Michael on this while lying to Creator/SamuelLJackson, then lying to Michael ''about'' lying to Samuel L. Jackson, then attempting to lie to them both simultaneously. |
| 557 | * ''Series/StargateSG1'' gives us a relatively subtle example with a Chinese ambassador attending a meeting at Stargate Command. During a recess, he disapproves of the US' secrecy concerning the Stargate, then says, with absolutely ''no irony'', "The Chinese government does not believe in keeping secrets from its people." Nobody comments on that, save for a disbelieving glance from the Russian general standing right behind him. |
| 558 | * ''Franchise/StarTrek'': |
| 559 | ** ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'': |
| 560 | *** In "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E15TheTroubleWithTribbles The Trouble with Tribbles]]", Spock remarks "[The tribble's] trilling seems to have a tranquilizing effect on the human nervous system. Fortunately, of course, I am immune to its effect," while petting a tribble and acting particularly calm. Everyone turns to look to him and he surreptitiously puts it down. |
| 561 | *** Also in "The Trouble with Tribbles", Scotty tells Chekov to calm down and not let the Klingons goad him into a fight. Very soon afterwards, he himself is goaded into starting [[BarBrawl the fight]]. |
| 562 | *** Possibly unintentional example: In "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E16TheGamestersOfTriskelion The Gamesters of Triskelion]]", Kirk is told: "Your old titles mean nothing here, Captain." |
| 563 | *** In "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E26ErrandOfMercy Errand of Mercy]]", Kor's very next line after indignantly rejecting Ayelborne's prediction that Humans and Klingons would eventually work together is to suggest to Kirk that they should do just that to stop the Organians' interference. |
| 564 | ** ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': |
| 565 | *** At the end of "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E11TheBigGoodbye The Big Goodbye]]", Picard shushes Data after he starts to narrate noir-style to Geordi that "It was raining in the city by the bay", but then tells Geordi to "Step on it" instead of his usual "Engage". |
| 566 | *** An unintentional one that combines with an accidental TakeThatScrappy: In the episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E12Datalore Datalore]]", Wesley Crusher is [[NotNowKiddo told by Captain Picard to shut up]] when Wes is [[CassandraTruth trying to warn the crew that something is off about Data]][[note]]He's been swapped with his identical EvilTwin, Lore[[/note]], which takes him and his mother, Beverly, off-guard. When Wes tries to protest ''again'', this time it's Beverly who's telling him to shut up, though this is more of a fearful thing, as everyone thinks Wesley was being paranoid over nothing. |
| 567 | *** In "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS3E21HollowPursuits Hollow Pursuits]]", Riker is irritated to encounter [[OtherMeAnnoysMe a rather unflattering duplicate of himself]] in one of Barclay's holodeck programs. Troi tells him that he's overreacting... until ''her'' duplicate appears as the [[{{Stripperiffic}} gauzy-robe-clad]] "Goddess of Empathy". |
| 568 | *** In "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E20CostOfLiving Cost of Living]]", Deanna suggests that Worf and Alexander draw up a contract that clearly defines their rights and responsibilities. |
| 569 | ---->'''Deanna:''' What would you like your father to promise, Alexander?\ |
| 570 | '''Alexander:''' No yelling.\ |
| 571 | '''Worf:''' I DO NOT ... I do not yell.\ |
| 572 | '''Deanna:''' [[SarcasmMode Well, then you should have no trouble with that part.]] |
| 573 | *** Also in "Cost of Living", Deanna then does it herself, explaining to Alexander that most children eventually learn to appreciate their parents, only for Riker to inform her that Lwaxana's on board. She collapses in her chair and mutters "On the other hand..." |
| 574 | ** In the ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS06E26TearsOfTheProphets Tears of the Prophets]]", [[TheDragon Weyoun]] finds the notion that the Prophets of Bajor are gods to be absurd. Damar immediately points out that Weyoun believes the Founders of the Dominion are gods. Weyoun retorts that that's different, because "the Founders '''are''' gods." Note that both the Prophets and the Founders are demonstrably real, and the Prophets (immortal, incorporeal beings that exist outside of time and thus are virtually omniscient) have a much stronger claim to godhood than the Founders (mortal beings who simply have the power of shapeshifting and have convinced the rest of the Dominion to worship them through a combination of genetic engineering, indoctrination, and brute force). |
| 575 | ** Malcolm Reed to Trip Tucker in the ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekEnterpriseS01E16ShuttlepodOne Shuttlepod One]]": |
| 576 | --->'''Malcolm:''' You know, I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure you use up a lot more oxygen WHEN YOU SHOUT LIKE THAT! |
| 577 | ** In the ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekPicardS1E04AbsoluteCandor Absolute Candor]]", Dr. Agnes Jurati thinks the Way of Absolute Candor sounds annoying, mere minutes after she bothers Cristóbal Rios with her incessant rambling about the vast emptiness of outer space, the activities she has done to kill time, and paper books. |
| 578 | * ''Series/StrangersWithCandy'': "There's only one thing I hate more than racists, and that's spics!" |
| 579 | * ''Series/{{Succession}}'': Connor is always telling his fractious family members that he "doesn't take sides." In one episode, his sister Shiv calls him during a crisis to get some information. He doesn't help her, but offers some useless moral support by saying, "You know I never take sides... but I'm on your side." She rolls her eyes and hangs up on him. |
| 580 | %%* Occurs many times on ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOnDeck''. |
| 581 | * This exchange from the ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' episode "[[Recap/SupernaturalS04E10HeavenAndHell Heaven and Hell]]": |
| 582 | -->'''Uriel (an angel):''' How dare you come in this room... [[FantasticRacism you pussing sore]].\ |
| 583 | '''Alastair (a demon):''' Namecalling. That hurt my feelings... [[TheFundamentalist you sanctimonious fanatical prick]]. |
| 584 | [[/folder]] |
| 585 | |
| 586 | [[folder:T-Z]] |
| 587 | * From ''Series/TheThickOfIt'': |
| 588 | -->'''Malcolm:''' Oh, and that's an incredibly homophobic headline you're running with, you massive poof. |
| 589 | ** Malcolm again, this time in a subversion, talking to Oliver: |
| 590 | --->'''Malcolm:''' Don't you '''EVER''' call me a bully!\ |
| 591 | ''[beat]''\ |
| 592 | '''Malcolm:''' I'm so much worse than that. |
| 593 | * ''Series/TheThinBlueLine'': |
| 594 | ** At one point, Grim is needling Raymond about his divorce and slightly distant relationship with his son, whom Raymond is worried is turning a bit wild. Grim makes a lot of hay about how he's a devoted family man who is always there for his sons. On an unrelated matter, guess who's loutish son just got arrested for disturbing the peace...? Raymond's son, incidentally, turns out to be studying to try and get into university; turns out Raymond's worries were a bit hyperactive anyway. |
| 595 | ** "Ism Ism Ism" has Grim arguing against "weird customs and funny clothes" in the police force, then turns around and tries to demonstrate his initiation ceremony for the Todgers. |
| 596 | * In ''Series/TopGear'', after their homebuilt electric car has received a scathing review from ''Autocar'' magazine, the three presenters complain that the critics were too hard on their vehicle and that it will hurt their sales... and what do people who review cars for a living know, anyway? |
| 597 | * ''Series/{{Victorious}}'': In "Wi-Fi in the Sky", when Trina asks the dad to don't let his son kick her seat, but he doesn't care. |
| 598 | -->'''Trina:''' Some people are so rude!\ |
| 599 | '''Tori:''' ''[picks up the trash Trina put on her table some moments ago]'' I know! |
| 600 | * ''Series/TheWalkingDead2010'': Once Negan returns to Alexandria after roaming alone, he encounters [[LittleMissBadass Judith]]. The two talk, and Negan casually curses in front of her, leading to this: |
| 601 | -->'''Judith:''' Language! I'm a kid, asshole! |
| 602 | * ''Series/TheWeirdAlShow'' episode 11, in reference to another in-universe show host parodying him: |
| 603 | -->'''[[Music/WeirdAlYankovic Al]]:''' How awful! How heartless! How could anyone sink so low as to do a PARODY of another human being?? |
| 604 | * ''Series/TheWestWing'': |
| 605 | ** They sometimes PlayedForLaughs the fact that much of the US population engages in this. At one point they quoted two opinion polls that demonstrated at least 14% of Americans think contributions to the UN are too high, and at the same time think it shouldn't be cut.[[note]]This is actually very easily duplicated, and is not as much a matter of hypocrisy as it is the result of asking leading questions. It's TruthInTelevision, as many polls are designed to get certain results to be used as propaganda.[[/note]] |
| 606 | ** Then there's the sixth season's Democratic convention negotiations. |
| 607 | --->'''Leo:''' This is the week when pull this party together and show the American people we can lead with integrity and maturity. Okay, the speaking order. Rock, Paper, Scissors on three. |
| 608 | * From ''Series/WhatILikeAboutYou'': |
| 609 | -->'''Val:''' I can be spontaneous. Right now I'm going to come up with a list of spontaneous things to do. I'm gonna need some graph paper. |
| 610 | * ''Series/WillAndGrace'': |
| 611 | ** One episode has Jack develop an addiction to coffee while dating someone from a coffeehouse, and then ends up trying to squeeze coffee out of the used filters from a coffee-maker after said boyfriend quits. Karen then proceeds to lecture him about dealing with the problem... [[ImmuneToDrugs while washing down a pill with a martini]]. |
| 612 | --->'''Karen:''' Ok, ok, it's over. Now, listen to me. ''[gets out a pill]'' The first thing you have to do is admit that you have a problem. ''[swirls the pill in her martini]'' Because if you can't even recognize the signs... ''[drops the wet pill into her mouth]'' Then you are really in sorry shape. ''[washes down the pill]'' Oh, mmm! ''[to the martini glass]'' Why are you so good to me? |
| 613 | ** Also, when discussing Karen dumping [[Series/ThirtyRock Jack Donaghy]]: |
| 614 | --->'''Karen:''' Well, you know me. If there's one thing I cannot do, it is hurt another person's feelings.\ |
| 615 | '''Jack:''' That is so true, Karen. You do have a kind heart.\ |
| 616 | '''Karen:''' ''[pause]'' I'm sorry, honey. I don't what it is, but your faggy little voice is just going right through me today. |
| 617 | ** And then when discussing the incompetent Middle Eastern woman Grace has hired: |
| 618 | --->'''Grace:''' You know what? You're never going to understand. I mean, the fact is, I'm tolerant. And you are... well, maybe a little bit racist.\ |
| 619 | '''Karen:''' How dare you call me a racist! A homophobe? Maybe. Distrustful of Spaniards? Who isn't? But nobody calls me a racist. And you can ask anyone I own. |
| 620 | * ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'': "First Kiss" gives one from Justin's goth girlfriend. |
| 621 | -->'''Miranda:''' Do you know who makes video games? Corporate America. I hate Corporate America. I'm starting a club about it. We're looking for sponsors. |
| 622 | * ''{{Series/Workaholics}}'' has given several examples, usually from the comically unaware Adam, who often subverts his own brief attempts at being decent and kind. |
| 623 | -->'''Adam:''' If you don’t want to date me that’s fine -– I get that. But you’re wrong and I hate you.\ |
| 624 | '''Adam:''' Just because you don't like something, doesn't mean that it's bad. Also, fuck you, everything you like sucks.\ |
| 625 | '''Adam:''' ''[when Ders is riding on a mini-carousel in a drunken funk over turning 25]'' This is the saddest thing I've ever seen dude, you're not a child! ''[to Blake]'' Yo, do you have some more tokens, I wanna play Pop-Shot. I've got like the fourth highest score, I'm not gonna give up I'm not a quitter. |
| 626 | * ''Series/YesMinister'': The Chief Whip gets a glorious example while dressing Hacker down for making some... inopportune statements... in public. |
| 627 | -->"In politics, you have to learn to say things with tact and finesse, you berk!" |
| 628 | ** Also there's the time he lamented that people aren't even taught Latin in university. When Sir Humphrey replies "Tempora mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis." (times change and we change with them) Hacker says "What?" |
| 629 | ** "Yes Prime Minister" has a more excusable example. His predecessor's memoirs call Hacker "two-faced" and Hacker responds by calling the former PM dishonest. Then the news comes of a tragic heart attack. Suddenly it's "He was a great man." "He will be sorely missed". |
| 630 | * Rick from ''Series/TheYoungOnes'', at the top of his lungs: '''''"I AM NOT GETTING AGGRESSIVE!!!!"''''' |
| 631 | * ''Series/YoungSheldon'': In "Dolomite, Apple Slices, and a Mystery Woman", Georgie calls out George Sr. for spying on Sheldon and calls that creepy, even though Georgie is spying on George Sr. |

| 633 | [[/folder]] |
| 634 | |
| 635 | [[folder:Other]] |
| 636 | * Kathy Griffin, describing how disappointed her Catholic mother was with her Emmy award speech: "Kathleen, why'd ya have ta tell Jesus to suck it, gawddamnit? I can't even show my face at church, fer Christ's sake! Damn, Kathleen, don't be so rude!" |
| 637 | * As the late, great, Creator/GeorgeCarlin put it, "So I say live and let live. That's my motto: Live and let live. Anyone who can't go along with that, take 'em outside and shoot the motherfucker. It's a simple philosophy, but it's always worked in our family." |
| 638 | * One of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Everett Kenny Everett's]] running characters was 'Mr. Angry of Mayfair', a city gent who would usefully appear to complain about the filth on TV, only to reveal at the end that he was dressed in women's underwear. |
| 639 | * Movie critic Richard Roeper, jokingly. Watch out for the end of his The Greatest Movie Ever Sold [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY7hhbl7v18 review]], right after saying "I mean, come on, some of us still have our integrity!" |
| 640 | * In the first time presenting a show on commercial television, Andrew Denton pretends to ring up the head of the network to complain about how often the ad breaks are. He was formerly on the Australian government-run ABC which has no ad breaks. We only hear his part of the conversion and it ends like this: |
| 641 | -->'''Andrew Denton:''' They make how much money?\ |
| 642 | ''[turns to camera]'' And we'll be back after these important messages. |
| 643 | * Used brilliantly by Creator/PamelaAnderson on her Roast. "It's great to see Wrestling/{{Hulk|Hogan}} here, because every roast needs a DumbBlonde with huge tits". |
