* In one episode of ''Series/PeeWeesPlayhouse'', Pee-wee's genie friend Jambi can't grant Pee-wee any wishes because he's sick. So Pee-wee calls on a "wish doctor" to diagnose him. When the doctor tells Pee-wee what's wrong, the latter freaks out over it -- before admitting that he has no idea what the doctor is talking about.
-->'''Doctor:''' Jambi is suffering from Meka-Leka-Hi-Meka-Hiney-itis.\\
'''Pee-wee:''' [[FreakOut Oh, no! Not Meka-Leka-Hi-Meka-Hiney-itis!]] [[AnythingButThat Say it's anything but Meka-Leka-Hi-Meka-Hiney-itis!]] ''(beat)'' ...What ''is'' Meka-Leka-Hi-Meka-Hiney-itis?\\
'''Doctor:''' Well, in layman's terms, he's suffering from genie burnout. The strain and pressure of granting someone's every wish and desire can become a burden to anyone, even a genie.

* ''Film/IndependenceDay'': David finds the satellite system for the cable network he works for is facing a lot of static. He spends a few hours examining the problem and manages to isolate the cause and explains to his boss in technical terms that the signal is degrading and will eventually resolve itself in a few hours. He figured this out oblivious to aliens that had just deployed city-sized ships to take position around the planet. He connects the dots and then explains to his boss with a ChessMotif that they are putting their pieces in place, "Checkmate." He later rushes to meet the President and uses a notepad to visually explain how the ships still need to communicate, and the President is smart enough to comprehend the line-of-sight problem. David then explains how the aliens have hijacked their own satellites to relay communication and shows a countdown timer he created on his laptop.
