* In ''Series/TheNewEditionStory'', Music/NewEdition's repeated neglect of not looking over their contracts properly ends up getting them screwed out of money that they're rightfully owed. After finding out that their management deceptively signed them to a production deal with MCA instead of directly with the label, Mike Bivins fires the group's manager, and helps get them a new deal with MCA. MCA boss Jheryl Busby lampshaded the situation when confronted about it, and mocked Mike and the group for not looking over their contract.
--> '''Mike:''' Jheryl, why would he do that to us?\\
'''Jheryl:''' Mike, why do you ''think''? It keeps him in control. He touches your money before you ever see it, he negotiates your contracts, your publishing, merchandising... He basically owns the group. [...] Mike, You made the mistake all artists make when they first started out: You didn't read your contract.\\
'''Mike:''' It doesn't matter man, he told us what the deal was--\\
'''Jheryl:''' ''He'' told you what the deal was! Mike, people are gonna say a whole lot of things in this business, but the only thing that matters is what's on paper, right in front of you.\\
'''Mike:''' He lied to us right in my living room.\\
'''Jheryl:''' Mr. Michael Bivins... Welcome to the music business.
** Becomes an IronicEcho when Mike ends up saying almost the exact same words to a group that he's managing.

* ''Film/Flodder3'': Moving the Flodder Family into the vacant house in Zonnedael was not a rubberstamp decision by the city council. The political parties who opposed the plan were given a bone by laying down a number of ground rules for the Flodders, such as not engaging in any criminal activities or expanding the household beyond 7 people. If they break any of these rules, their residence will be considered forfeit. This document proves to be vital in the villains' plans, as it gives them a way to get rid of the Flodders legally.
