21Alice and Bob are planning an Undercover Mission. They need someone who knows about fine art or looks good in a bikini. Or perhaps they need someone to be TheBait. They reach the conclusion, but don't say it out loud, that Cate is the person for this. The audience knows this.

Through a complicated series of events, they need to complete their disguise with a princess (or someone posing as one). Most of the main characters in the show ''think'' before talking on at least a semi-regular basis, so the "why are you looking at me" bit is implied.[[note]]To fully understand this, remember Cara is a Mord-Sith. The Mord-Sith are the warrior-protector-women that serve the Lord Rahl. They're his (magically imbued) bodyguards, expert (and magical) torturers, consorts if the Lord Rahl asks of them, and feared throughout D'Hara and the Midlands. They wear blood-red, skintight leather so that the blood won't stain their similar brown or white leather outfits.

128* In the ''Series/RedDwarf'' episode "White Hole", the ship has shut down and the crew need to get through all the sealed doors:
129-->'''Lister:''' Look, they're only interior doors. They're only a light alloy. Maybe we could get through them if we use a battering ram. All we need is something, say, I dunno, six foot long, fairly sturdy, with a flat top.\

Louie brings in more money, but Alex makes enough in tips to make slightly more than Louie. The question of the winner comes down to whether the tips Alex has collected count towards the total. They decide to let a person who didn't bet make the decision, but only one person in the entire garage didn't do so. Cue everyone staring at Latka as he eats a bucket of chicken. Oblivious, he looks up and says, "Would anyone like a bite?"

138'''Kelso:''' ''[waving his hand frantically]'' Hey, I know something stupid we can do!
139* ''Series/TheWire'' sees this happen when the police need a decoy to infiltrate a brothel. [[DumbMuscle Herc]] isn't subtle enough, Carver is out because he's too handsome to look like someone who'd pay for sex, Kima and Bunk both have domestic issues. Then [=McNulty=] walks in.

However, Yusuke also desires to use [[MsFanservice Ann]] as a [[ItsNotPornItsArt nude model]] for his next painting. The Phantom Thieves get the idea to use her to get inside the shack by agreeing to model for Yusuke. Before filling her in on this, they initially lay on some heavy suggestion. Ann's reaction to this is a FlatWhat until they spell it out for her.
152* In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'', at one point in Hotel Delfino you can talk to a Pianta who's complaining about all the ghosts in the hotel and hopes that someone could [[VideoGame/LuigisMansion come and suck them up with a vacuum or something]].
