* This pops up in ''Manga/Horimiya'' when Miyamura slaps Hori in front of a group of Miyamura's former bullies (They had no knowledge of Hori's masochistic tendencies) leading to the following inequality popping up: Us (Bullies who had previously picked on Miyamura and been subsequently beaten up by Hori) < Kyouko Hori < Miyamura.

* There's the old joke that goes like this:
** Getting a girlfriend is the product of time and money. Girlfriend = Time × Money
** Time = Money, therefore Girlfriend = Money × Money = Money^2
** Money is the root of all evil, Money = √Evil, meaning Money^2 = Evil
** Therefore Girlfriend = Evil
* Counter joke:
** Boyfriend = Girlfriend × Time × Money
** Boyfriend = Evil × Money^2
** Boyfriend = Evil^2
*** Which would be a recursive formula, meaning boyfriends and girlfriends are infinitely evil.
* And similarly again:
** Time is Money, Knowledge is Power: T = $, K=P
** Power is work per unit time: P=W/T so T =W/P
** Therefore $=W/K, and since lim (W/K) as K increases tends to zero, the More you know the less you make regardless of how hard you work.
* There is a joke about 9/11 that uses this, the humor is not at anyone involved in 9/11, but through a pun and math play.
-->Q: When does a pentagon only have four sides?
-->A: When it is bisected by a plane.

* As Vladimir Lenin put it, communism is the Soviet power plus electrification of the whole country. Therefore, 1) Soviet power is communism without electrification, and 2) electrification is communism minus Soviet power. Important note: this joke is political, and was subject to persecution.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', when Homer is an inventor. During a montage, he's shown writing equations on a blackboard. After he's done, the camera moves to shot of the house ? where there's a massive explosion. Cut back to Homer: who examines his equation and crosses out the offending section, a drawing of a stick of dynamite, which he then replaces with something else. This results in another, ''bigger'' explosion.
** Also Homer's brain leads to [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PresidentHomer_2398.jpg this conclusion.]]
