* Sierra's ''VideoGame/PoliceQuest I'' has the player character (a traffic cop) pull over a drunk man who is a textbook example of this trope, "ociffer" and all.

Occifer, yer eyes look glazhed, [[DonutMessWithACop have you been eating donutsh?]]

--> '''Robin:''' "[The police] get out of the car and they walk toward you like this! ''[Walking and talking in slow motion]'' 'Wooouuulllld yyyyooouuu geeeettt ooouuuut oooofff thhheee ccaaauuurr?'" Then he does a bit about the "new test" they have for you, where it starts out as the usual "touching your nose", then rapidly becomes a complicated dance routine, finishing up with him saying "At this point you just look the officer right in the eye, and you say 'fuck it, I'm drunk!'"

--> '''Robin:''' You start practicing in your head, ''" What seems to be the problem officer? What seems to be the problem officer?"'' Then you roll down your window, ''"GAHBUH DOO BABLEM OBBISUH?!"''

(Walking and talking in slow motion) 'Wooouuulllld yyyyooouuu geeeettt ooouuuut oooofff thhheee ccaaauuurr?'" Then he does a bit about the new test they have for you, where it starts out normally touching your nose, then rapidly becomes a complicated dance routine, finishing up with him saying "At this point you just look the officer right in the eye, and you say 'fuck it, I'm drunk!'

-> ''You start practicing in your head, " What seems to be the problem officer? What seems to be the problem officer?" Then you roll down your window, "GAHBUH DOO BABLEM OBBISUH?!"''

->''"I swear to drunk I'm not God."''

* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'': From one of the ''StarWars'' specials:

WebVideo/LoadingReadyRun: in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPc7oXdZ8kU Crapshots 196: The DUI]], the driver (Beej), who hasn't even started the car yet, gives increasingly desperate excuses to the cop (James) until the sketch ends in [[spoiler:a Beejdrop (a running Crapshots gag, wherein another character suddenly becomes Beej).]]
-->'''Cop:''' Alright, buddy, get outta the car.
-->'''Driver:''' You can't arrest me. ''[[AlcoholHic *hic*]]'' I'm not drunk enough yet.
-->'''Cop:''' You don't have to be drunk, sir. Get out.
-->'''Driver:''' ...but I'm not even driving.
-->'''Cop:''' Sir, you could start driving. Now exit the vehicle, and ''please'' give me your keys.
-->'''Driver:''' Thhhhat's impossible. This isn't even my car!
-->'''Cop:''' Sir, I'm placing you under arrest for suspicion of auto theft.
-->'''Driver:''' I'd like to see you try. You're not even a cop!
-->''(The cop suddenly realizes he's now dressed in plainclothes)''
-->'''Driver:''' And [[spoiler:you're me.]]
-->''[[spoiler:(The cop has been replaced with the driver; cue Beejdrop music sting]]''

* The title character of ''Webcomic/SandraOnTheRocks'' demonstrates the trope to the full, in [[http://www.sandraontherocks.com/strips-sotr/we_should_celebrate a flashback to her prom night here.]] With side-orders of NoodleIncident and TemptingFate.

* England gets drunk in ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'': "You don't know me! I'm the United bloody Kingdom and I can hild my loquer better than you any day!"

* This trope is why you should ''never'' interact with police officers if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, if you can possibly help it. You will do ''nothing'' to help your defense or others' defense. If you have to interact with police in such a state, refuse to speak as much as is possible and do not agree to anything, but politely ask to be let go (if you were stopped on the street walking, or were in a car with an intoxicated driver, or otherwise in a situation where you aren't the primary reason for their presence). If they refuse to allow you to leave, or if you were being detained or arrested to begin with, '''demand a lawyer and SHUT UP!'''

** Contains the current page image, in fact.

Almost always leads to HypocriticalHumor, ImplausibleDeniability or BlatantLies. Needless to say, often times it is TruthInTelevision. (As such, it can evoke reactions of "DudeNotFunny", as [[DrunkDriver Drunk Driving]] is a pretty serious problem in real life.)

* In ''Creator/NorthByNorthwest'', Roger Thornhill is force-fed a quart of bourbon and put behind the wheel of a car on a cliffside road to kill himself. He manages to escape his foes, but gets caught by the police. At the station, Roger absolutely admits that he's drunk, but can't get them to believe the circumstances under which he got drunk.
