** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS25E1RemembranceOfTheDaleks "Remembrance of the Daleks"]]: The Doctor mocks the Dalek Emperor's rant about what the Daleks will achieve when they have the Hand of Omega: "Become all powerful! Crush the lesser races! Conquer the galaxy! Unimaginable power! Unlimited rice pudding! Et cetera! Et cetera!"
** Inverted in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E2GhostLight "Ghost Light"]] (the last story produced, but broadcast third-to-last): "I can't stand burnt toast. I loathe bus stations: terrible places, full of lost luggage and lost souls. And then there's unrequited love, and tyranny, and cruelty." From the same episode: "My theories appall you, my heresies outrage you, I never answer letters and you don't like my tie."
** The call to adventure (inserted as a voiceover at the end of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E4Survival "Survival"]], the last story of the original series broadcast): "There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea is asleep and the rivers dream. People made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea is getting cold."
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E2TheEndOfTheWorld "The End of the World"]] has this brief announcement at the beginning:
--->"Guests are reminded that Platform One forbids the use of weapons, teleportation and religion."
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E5RiseOfTheCybermen "Rise of the Cybermen"]]/[[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E6TheAgeOfSteel "The Age of Steel"]]: Ricky's resistance group, the Preachers. Despite claiming to be freedom fighters, stockpiling weapons and hacking into various organizations, Ricky is London's most wanted... for ''parking violations''. The Doctor backs him on the "park anywhere" for obvious reasons.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E10Blink "Blink"]]: Former police officer Billy says that he couldn't contact Sally earlier because the Doctor explained to him that it would've caused a rupture in time and space, it would destroy two thirds of the universe, and he would lose all his hair.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E6TheDoctorsDaughter "The Doctor's Daughter"]]: Donna describes the Doctor's life in this fashion to Jenny.
--->'''Jenny:''' So what do you do? \\
'''The Doctor:''' I travel. Through time and space. \\
'''Donna:''' He saves planets, rescues civilisations, defeats terrible creatures. ''[{{beat}}]'' And runs a lot. Seriously, there's an ''outrageous'' amount of running involved.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E7AmysChoice "Amy's Choice"]]: Amy (who is heavily pregnant) and Rory have just barricaded themselves from the EvilOldFolks in their cottage:
--->'''Amy:''' We just ran away. We abandoned the Doctor. And don't ever call me "Chubs" again.
** [[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]'' ... 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.

** During the opening sequence, a list of words describing Colbert fly past him ("Courageous", "Exceptional", "Relentless", etc.) but always ends with something like "Grippy", "Lincolnish", "Megamerican", "Purple-Mounted" or "Factose-Intolerant". They even threw in a whole sentence for a while: "President Bush Have A Hotdog With Me". Debuting with the new opening credits animation, his most recent is "Applepious".
** One episode, in the lead up to the March to Keep Fear Alive, featured a segment about the dangers of robots.

** A ''Colbert Report'' list of historical threats to the Jewish people started with Iran, Hitler and King Antiochus, and ended with "Mel Gibson's Dad".
** Both ''Series/TheColbertReport'' and ''Series/TheDailyShow'' use this trope in their introduction scenes to news segments, showing two or more examples of something serious, then something completely not serious. For example, on Colbert's theoretical doomsday scenario, the intro shows hurricanes, terrorists, atomic bombs and gay couples.

** From "[[Recap/CSINYS05E01 Veritas]]," the Season 5 opener:

Then Troy makes the unexpected confession that he did not understand the Cookie Crisp Wizard reference.

* ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'': The episode "Striptease for Two" ends with Will and Carlton explaining to Uncle Phil everything they did, which was insider trading (federal offense), pawned off Aunt Viv's diamond bracelet (grand larceny), stripped to get the money back (indecent exposure), and then, finally, they didn't even get the latch on the bracelet fixed.

* ''Life on a Stick'': Laz claims his girlfriend has a hatred for old people, a hatred "most people have only for terrorists, serial killers, and [[TheScrappy Jar-Jar Binks]]".

* ''Botched'': One of Terry's many jokes about Paul falls under this trope. It went something like "I wonder about several of life's great mysteries: what they keep in Area51, who the [[UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy man on the grassy knoll]] was, and what the hell is wrong with Paul's thumbs." Bonus points for the second thing concerning an actual murder.
