* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Bart prank calls Moe's tavern and asks to speak to 'Hugh Jass'. One of the patrons has that name, answers the phone and spoils the prank.

* In ''MontyPythonsLifeOfBrian'', a centurian dismisses the idea that Brain's father is a Roman named Naughtius Maximus, thinking it's a joke name like Sillius Soddus or Biggus Dickus. Pilate interrupts, pointing out that one of his best friends from Rome is called Biggus Dickus, and he has a wife called Incontinentia Buttocks.

* In an episode of ''TheITCrowd'', Roy gets caught in a disabled bathroom at a theater and pretends to be disabled so he won't get in trouble. He tells the theater staff and police that his wheelchair was stolen by a bearded, red-haired man with glasses. Later, the police see a man matching that description leaving the theater and quietly take him away.

* In ''PlanescapeTorment'', the main character is an amnesiac who begins the game not knowing his own name, so he can choose to introduce himself using the alias 'Adahn' in conversation. Do this enough times and you will eventually meet a man named Adahn in a tavern; Planescape is set in a world where [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve belief and reality are intertwined]], and if enough people start believing in a man named Adahn, he is summoned into existence.
