* In ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'', Adam was known to end any order he gave to Samus with "Any objections, Lady?". Whatever the fans may have thought about him[[spoiler:, especially compared to his ''VideoGame/MetroidFusion'' persona]], at one point he goes missing with the Deleter presumably on his tail. At one point, Samus reaches a bridge, only for someone on the other side to raise it and render her unable to cross it... whereupon she decides to self-authorize the Space Jump and Screw Attack.

* ''Theatre/RosencrantzAndGuildensternAreDead'': Early in the second act, Rosencrantz, feeling the situation has got even further out of their control, replies to Guildenstern saying things will make sense when they reach England with "England? That's a dead end. I don't believe in it anyway," Guildenstern retorts "[[LiteralistSnarking Just a conspiracy of cartographers, you mean?]]" and Rosencrantz snaps "I mean I don't believe in it!" This then leads to a bit of roleplay in which Guildenstern is himself and Rosencrantz is the King of England. At the end of the play, Guildenstern is now the one facing existencial dread about what happens next and says ''he'' doesn't believe in England prompting Rosencrantz to make the same response, get the same reaction, and even redo the roleplay in reverse.

'''King Bob-omb''': Initating countdown... Self-destruct sequence... initiated. No one can know about this operation. Soon we will all explode together!\\

* Subverted in Season 6 of ''Machinima/ArbyNTheChief'', [[spoiler:when Chaos Theosis assults the TOSERS's main server]]. Arbiter and Adam confront one another and exchange threats and insults at one another.

--->'''Candace:''' Why would you save me? You're a rebel!
--->'''Phineas:''' You were in trouble. I couldn't just leave you hanging...literally.
