'''Basic Trope''': A character reveals they know how to do something because they saw it on TV.
* '''Straight''': During an expedition, Bob warns his fellow crewmates about a poisonous plant. When asked how he knows about it, he says "Discovery Channel".
* '''Exaggerated''': Bob later cooks a meal for the crew, owing to his watching Food Network. He goes on to identify what they're looking for due to watching the History Channel.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Bob isn't sure the plant is poisonous, but thanks to TV he knows enough to ask the crew's botanist to investigate, which saves the crew.
** Bob is the crew's botanist, but he only got interested in studying plant life because he liked to watch nature documentaries.
* '''Justified''': Bob is a knowledge sponge and learns something from everything he watches. More broadly, it could be argued that the existence of educational television justifies this trope as a whole.
* '''Inverted''': Bob used to be a skilled botanist, but watched too much trash TV and now can barely identify plants.
* '''Subverted''': Bob cooks up a nutritious, delicious meal for his crewmates. Someone asks which Food Network show he got that from. Cue Bob revealing he's a trained chef.
* '''Double Subverted''': A trained ''pastry'' chef, that is - he got the idea from watching the Food Network.
* '''Parodied''':
** Bob is multilingual, skilled at identifying plants, and a [[SupremeChef chef par excellence]], despite zero formal training. Everyone assumes he watches a lot of educational TV, but nope - he watches ''Real Housewives'' and that's it.
** Bob is a small child who learns how to count by watching ''Series/SesameStreet'', and everyone reacts as they'd do to an adult revealing they learned a crucial factoid from a sitcom.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Bob identifies the plants because he's a skilled botanist. He enjoys TV, and the occasional movie, but the two don't intersect.
* '''Enforced''': ???
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': Bob watches nature documentaries before the excursion in the hopes of it being useful.
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': "Discovery Channel? No, that's a [=PhD=] in botany, thank you very much."
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
* '''Deconstructed''': The expedition fails because their expert is just a guy who watched a lot of TV.
* '''Reconstructed''': The expedition is taking place AfterTheEnd - a guy who watched a lot of TV is [[ClosestThingWeGot all they have]].
