'''Vegeta:''' What, are you trying to imply that this wannabe-Super Saiyan from the future is my so... ''[tails off in realisation]''[[labelnote:*]]Note that Vegeta is one of the only two known Super Saiyans in the entire universe[[/labelnote]]

* ''VideoGame/IdolManager'': One of the questions in story mode's quizz show is the location of the Tokyo Tower. The question is asked while the player has an incentive for DeliberateUnderPerformance, so it's possible to answer it wrong.

-->''Why do boys '''flock''' to her? Besides sleeping with her?\\

--> "You what?" I lost my yo-yo. "Well where did you have it last?" Eh! If I knew that... I'd still have my yo-yo. "Well... it must be somewhere." Right! "Well it just didn't get up and walk away". That one always got to me. 'It just didn't get up and walk away'. One time I lost the cat. It just got up and walked away. Then she actually started to say it to me... "Well, it just didn't get up and ..." *cough* *cough*" Eh ma. I think you've figured this one out.

'''Chris''': You just answered your question. But let me make it even clearer. *Pushes the remote that sends an electric shock through all players' collars.*

-->Mom: "Why do you keep cracking your knuckles like that?! It's driving me CRAZY!!"
-->Jeremy: ''*thinking*'' "...I love it when she answers her own question like that."

* The [[http://www.xkcd.com/852/ page image]] from ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'': "Crap! How did the pole-vaulters get up to our balcony?"

* ''WebVideo/DragonballZAbridged'':

--->'''Tien:''' I don't understand! All he had to do was push the button and blow up the... [[FoeYay the girl]].\\

* Anyone who's ever worked in a fast food restaurant is very familiar with this trope. "Does the double bacon cheeseburger have bacon?" "What's the difference between the 3-piece and 5-piece chicken nuggets?" Quite a few of these questions are catalogued on Website/NotAlwaysRight. In many cases, the customers in ''these'' stories are ''so'' oblivious [[WhatAnIdiot they never realize they've fallen into this trope]].

* ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'': As Sydney is watching Math and Jabberwokky getting into a showy martial art fight with obvious glee.
-->'''Sydney:''' What is it with martial artists always wanting tougher oppon... No, wait, I answered my own question.

* ''Animation/HappyHeroes'' There's an episode where Little M. asks what the number for 911 is.

** Homer in the episode "Bart vs. Thanksgiving": "Hello, Operator! Give me the number for 911!"

** Which weighs the most, a pound of lead, a pound of aluminum, or a pound of cork?[[note]]Surprisingly, this actually becomes a valid question when one of the items in question is measured using ''troy'' weight (such as gold); a troy pound weighs less than a standard (avoirdupois) pound. And just to makes things even more fun, troy weight has more grains to the ounce but less ounces to the pound than avoirdupois -- so an ounce of gold weighs more than an ounce of feathers, but a pound of feathers weighs more than a pound of gold.[[/note]][[note]]It's also not as stupid as it sounds when you consider the question asks about ''weight'' and not ''mass'' and is thus affected by gravity. The tallest object (presumably the least dense, i.e. cork) will have a center of mass further away from the ground and thus weigh slightly less than aluminum, which will weigh slightly less than lead -- even though all three have the same mass. However, this caveat applies only when the question refers to mass, not weight: a kilogram of cork weighs less than a kilogram of aluminum, but a pound of cork weighs the same as a pound of aluminum.[[/note]]

* ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'': Davan made some jokes about Wicca on his web comic. [[https://somethingpositive.net/comic/problematic-pt-2-mommy-matters-pt-1/ When Branwen]], an African American friend of Davan, tries to explain to a self-identified "10th generation Wiccan" that Davan's jokes about weren't meant to single out one specific religion, this exchange occurs.

Bob will then often remark something along the lines of "Right." or "Forget I asked". Sometimes Alice will point it out to him. If Bob doesn't realise what he just did, there's a good chance that Alice will point it out anyway.

* ''Series/{{Alf}}'': At the end of the episode "Strangers in the Night", when NosyNeighbour Mrs. Armanick hears noise outside she grabs the phone and ask "Operator, this is an emergency. What's the number for 911?" In her defense, Alf had been messing about the house while she was waitching ''Film/{{Psycho}}'', so she was a little-high-strung.

** In "Police Story", Frasier is pulled over for speeding while trying to get Roz to her dinner date on time, and the arresting officer sees from his licence that it's his birthday:

*** The irony in that last one, however, is that it most likely wasn't white. White horses are, in terms of skin colour, grey, unless they're albino.
