* In an episode of ''Series/DiagnosisMurder'' sees a guest star forced to gather a large sum of money for a mob boss in order to save his con artist ex wife, when he asks how he's supposed to come up with that kind of money the mob boss replies:

* ''Series/{{Degrassi}}'': Reversed:

** InvertedTrope, starting on a low note and building up while describing a man's hobbies as: "Golf, strangling small animals and masturbating." Sadly, the "masturbating" part was cut by the censors on ABC in the 1970s either by muting out "masturbating" or rearranging the audio so that way the line just names off "Golf and strangling small animals." (Apparently, animal abuse is okay, but masturbation isn't -- at the time, at least.)

-->'''Rik''': Point 1: Abolish poverty! Point 2: Abolish capitalism! Point 3: ''Dexy's Midnight Runners'' playing free, daily, in the University library!

* ''Series/AccordingToJim'': In the Halloween Episode, Jim's three children (Ruby, Gracie, and Kyle) pick up their own Halloween costumes. Ruby goes as a cowgirl, Gracie is Lady Liberty, and Kyle dresses as... Cinderella.

** "People of Seattle! Listen to me! We are not barbarians! We are not Neanderthals! [[AcceptableTargets AND WE ARE NOT FRENCH!]]"
** In one episode, two [=DJs=] try to make a career out of [[BreakTheHaughty publicly humiliating]] Frasier. He refuses to sink to their level and will only counter them by quoting famous authors. After all the ridicule, one of them manages to hit his BerserkButton by [[FelonyMisdemeanor correcting his pronunciation of]] "Creator/LaRochefoucauld."

* ''Series/{{Screenwipe}}'': This Creator/CharlieBrooker series did an AcceptableTargets version of this when reading off people who "will be punished" when Charlie takes over:

-->'''Beevil:''' I'm wanted on twelve planets for theft, forgery, conspiracy, destruction of property, and...

'''Lothor:''' Littering! The most underrated of intergalactic crimes!\\

* ''Plutón B.R.B. Nero'' is a Spanish comedy sci-fi series, with the opening narration explaining: "Year 2530. Situation on planet Earth is hopeless. (...) Unregulated construction of semi-detached houses in the North Pole causes the rise of waters, sinking cities like New York, London and '''[[SuddenlySignificantCity Benidorm.]]''' The human race survives in overpopulated swampy areas, harassed by epidemics, floods and '''real estate agencies.''''' (Admitedly, real estate agencies had became a real problem in Spain when the series debuted).
** That series enjoy this trope: In episode 1x10, several characters explain why Roswell is a dangerous alien, with several characters giving information: "He like to tears out people's intestines, and then he eats them." "And, he tears off their nails." "He also likes to drive infected syringes into their eyes." "And he speaks ill of others when they are not present." The latter was Sgt. Querejeta, who has SkewedPriorities .

* On ''Series/{{Cracked}}'' Aiden rattles off a series of charges like this at the end of "The Valley" when they arrest the boys who were running underground GladiatorGames:

* ''Series/FullHouse'' has this line:
-->'''Kimmy''': But, Deej, it wouldn't be the same without you. I mean, who am I going to hang out with? Talk to about boys? Copy my homework from?

-->'''Marah:''' Don't forget littering!
-->'''Lothor:''' Littering! The most underrated of intergalactic crimes!

** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E13TheBigBang "The Big Bang"]]: When the Doctor finds out that [[spoiler:he's survived the "Big Bang two",]] he quickly verifies if he is OK, going through his life priority list, of course. "[[CallBack Legs, yes]]. Bow tie, cool. ''[touches hair]'' … [[CoolHat I can buy a fez]]." Although two of the items are silly, we'd already expect the bow tie, so the fez makes pretty much the same effect.

* In the ''Series/SamAndCat'' episode #MotorcycleMystery, Sam and Dice find that the whole Pon-Thwang bottle was empty and that Cat drank it all as she though it would keep her focused and alert, but only if you take it with a teaspoon of the stuff in a glass of water. The side effects for not doing that include: extreme loss of memory, followed by unconsciousness and loose stools.

** An inversion occurs when Sheldon wonders whether, in the Star Wars game they're going to play, they should be Jedi or Sith. Leonard says, "What are you talking about? We're always the good guys. In Dungeons and Dragons, we're LawfulGood, in City of Heroes, we're the heroes, and in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'', we pay the prostitutes promptly and never hit them with a bat."

** E20/S14, ''"Consumed":

-->'''Graham:''' What, on New Year's Day; when everything's shut and everyone's hung over?
-->'''Ryan:''' [[YouMonster What a monster!]]
