* ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'': Ran has a bad cold, and Lum comes by to help out. Among other things, she tries to cook some food, only to have the first dish overspiced. Directed to follow a recipe from "365 Recipes for the Terminally Ill", Lum finds it way too bland and tries to "improve" it. Ran catches her, and sees that Lum is bad at vegetable chopping too. Soon, Ran's taken the whole cooking chore over, working herself back into exhaustion.
* DoubleSubverted in ''Manga/SpaceBrothers'': Nanba's team is assigned an engineer for a rover design competition that has to do with their astronaut training. The engineer, Pico Norton, thinks they don't have a chance to win and doesn't want to help. You expect he'll help after being impressed by Nanba's ideas for the rover, but then it turns out he helps because they were going to screw up setting up the parachute that delivers the rover.
* In an episode of ''Manga/OnePiece'', everyone except Luffy and Robin have had their memories stolen. Nami and Zorro left for a nearby island, and the remaining crew decide to go after them. Robin asks Usopp to build a raft to get them there, which he refuses, so Luffy, Chopper, and Sanji decide to make the rafts themselves. Their alleged rafts are so terribly designed that Usopp perfectly crafts one himself.

* In ''Film/USMarshals'', the local sheriff is attempting to set up a dragnet for the missing prisoner Mark Sheridan, but his plan is so inept (and for very justifiable reasons, namely, that he's never dealt with an escaped fugitive in his career) that Gerard repeatedly interjects to offer suggestions. Eventually, the sheriff asks him, "What do you think?" and Gerard immediately lays out his own plan.

* In the ''Series/{{Elementary}}'' episode "A Landmark Story", Literature/SherlockHolmes forces Joan Watson to break into a funeral home with him to perform an autopsy on the murder victim.

* In an episode of season 3 of ''Series/GameOfThrones'', during the funeral of Lord Hoster Tully, Edmure Tully was charged to end the ceremony by firing a flaming arrow at the floating pyre. After he missed three times in a row, his uncle Blackfish took over and hit on the first try.



* In an episode of ''Series/SisterSister'', one of the twins is trying to perform Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer" at a recital but is doing so badly that when she's nearly staggered to the end, her teacher intervenes and finishes it for her.

* An Army sergeant is training his soldiers on what to do in the event they get lost in the wilderness. One of the soldiers wonders why the standard wilderness survival kit includes a deck of playing cards. The sergeant explains, "That's how you can call for help if everything else fails. If you can't radio or signal for help, then take out the cards and start playing Solitaire. Within ten minutes, someone will tap you on the shoulder and say, 'Hey, you can put that red 7 on that black 8.'"
