We can never truly eradicate the coronavirus, but we can suppress its threat like influenza

What about this one?
Usually seen in a comedic scene, a lovable but overly-confident character wants to display his skill to another character (can be something like his appeal to the opposite sex by asking out someone on a date), only to fail disastrously to comic effect.
One good example is Larry Appleton on Perfect Strangers who often said the phrase, "watch and learn" to his cousin Balki.
