Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope?

Indeed, thanks.
The boss asks technicians how much time they need to complete a task. They honestly answer they need like two days. Their boss says they have only one day, and nobody complains. (Generally they manage to do said task in that arbitrary shorter time due to the power of doing their jobs).
(I think Mad Max the Road Warrior did that, and Speed Racer the film played with that).
