* During the Sonic Juice fight in ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroesIII'', Travis is asked why he doesn't like [=RPGs=]. He elaborates by saying the entire genre was ruined by one game because the characters looked 'fucking'... Both the name of the game and the adjective used to describe them are bleeped out. The characters even repeat the word a few times to hammer in that we don't get to know what it is.

* James Joyce was in the same room as a drunk F. Scott Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald wanted to kiss Joyce's hand to show his admiration. Joyce said, "If you knew where that hand had been, young man, you wouldn't be kissing it."

* One episode of ''Series/{{Taskmaster}}'' has a task where a contestant must be blind-folded, but the one who won was able to see a bit because Alex didn't fit the blindfold properly. Greg ''assures'' us that Alex will be punished, but without giving any details about what will be done to him other than [[BeleagueredAssistant apparently it happens quite often]].
-->'''Greg:''' It's not your fault! You're not disqualified! It's not your fault! There's only one person to blame for you being able to see, and that's the person as you quite rightly pointed out fitting the equipment, and he'll be punished off-camera in the traditional way!\\

* ''Webcomic/NaruHinaChronicles Mini-sodes'': At some lake where all the characters are wearing swimsuits, Naruto, Sasuke, Kiba, Shikamaru, Choji, Neji, and Lee are all waiting for the girls to arrive. When the girls arrive with their revealing swimsuits, all the guys are blushing at their sight... with the exception of Lee, who continues to splash around in the water. Subverted in the next strip, when Lee is blushing heavily while seeing Arekusu wearing her swimsuit.

--> '''Alex:''' Not the ''traditional'' way!
--> '''Greg:''' YES THE TRADITIONAL WAY!!!

* This is what helps sell one the funniest scenes in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', specifically "[[Recap/TheNewBatmanAdventuresE7JokersMillions Joker's Millions]]". At one point, Joker appears to swear off crime after inheriting a fortune, yet inexplicably sends his accountant in his place to the Iceberg Club while Bruce Wayne also happens to be there. Sensing something amiss, Batman investigates when 'Joker' walks off to the bathroom. Discovering the switch, he interrogates the accountant, who claims ignorance. Batman proceeds to ''give the man a {{Swirlie}}'' in an upper-class club lavatory. We don't get to see this happen; all we get are the sounds of frantic pleading followed by extremely loud and repeated flushing, and the disquieted reaction of Penguin, who is right outside the bathroom door and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere decides against intervening to spare himself the trouble]]. This forces us to imagine Batman bullying this hapless pencil-neck accountant in a bad Joker outfit by shoving him headfirst into a toilet, and the mental image that conjures up is doubtless funnier than anything that could have been animated.

* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfBerseria'', Eizen's "Reaper's Curse" means that any coin he flips will land on "tails". Rokurou and Eleanor try to "Beat" it by having Eizen flip a two-headed coin. The first time, a crow snatches it mid-air. The second time, [[ItMakesSenseInContext a gryphon who resides at the location]] snatches it. The third time, all that's heard is a "boom" noise followed by Rokurou saying YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe

* ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' has [[NothingIsFunnier/CalvinAndHobbes its own page]] on the subject. It's also the trope namer for NoodleIncident. Whatever the aforesaid "noodle incident" was, Calvin would be in all kinds of troble if anyone ever found out it was him. And yet, any particulars of the incident were never addressed. Instead, just bringing up the noodle incident would cause Calvin to immediately go into a panicked defense, insisting that it wasn't him or that no one could prove it, all played for comedy. Comic author Bill Watterson said in the ''Tenth Anniversary Calvin and Hobbes Collection'' that he intended to visit what happened the Noodle Incident someday, but eventually talked himself out of it. The reason he never explained what happened during the Noodle Incident was that he decided nothing he could come up with would ever be as funny as anything the readers would be able to come up with in their own minds.
