* {{Subverted}} amusingly in ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade''. Dr. Jones is showing giving a lecture on archaeology, but he merely makes the point that archaeology is not about journeying to exotic lands and following ancient maps to lost cities, "and X never, ever marks the spot." Since this is Indy, however, he [[AdventurerArchaeologist definitely does not go on to practice what he teaches]] -- and he even references the lecture later with a wry grin when it turns out that X does mark the spot after all.

* ''Theatre/CesareIlCreatoreCheHaDistrutto'' -- the one time Cesare Borgia bothers to come to class is for the special lecture on Dante. He ends up speaking almost as much as the professor, a famous Dante expert. His words during the debates in class show how Dante influenced his philosophy, and the play continues with dream sequences where Cesare interacts with Dante, seeking -- and refusing -- his advice.

He ends his lecture by theorizing that while [[TruthInTelevision these fungi can only infect insects]], dramatic environmental changes could cause them to evolve the ability to infect humans.

* ''WesternAnimation/KampKoral'': In "The Jelly Life", [=SpongeBob=] dresses up like a jellyfish. He's unable to sting people, but when he walks on a carpet and builds up a bunch of static charge, he's able to give them electric shocks. This doesn't work when he tries it again a few hours later, after exhausting all the charge, so he and Patrick are confused. Sandy then runs in at that ''exact moment'' with a chalkboard on wheels, draws up a presentation explaining how the charge worked and why [=SpongeBob=] was able to sting earlier, then leaves before anyone can say anything to her.

* ''Series/{{Chernobyl}}'' does this with chemist Valery Legasov, who is asked by bureaucrat Boris Shcherbina how a nuclear reactor works while they're in a helicopter flying to Chernobyl. Boris is asking so that he knows enough to tell whether or not the power plant's managers are being honest with him, and Legasov's simplified explanation of how a fission reaction is harnessed for energy informs the audience at the same time. Later, Legasov gives a similar explanation in the courtroom that is more complex but uses visual aids to explain how reactivity is meant to be balanced, and exactly which components of the process went wrong.
