* In ''[[Bakuman｡ (Manga)|Bakuman｡]]'', several older manga artists attempt to make a comeback in Jump. Mashiro sympathizes with their efforts, as his uncle had tried to get serialized from when his contract expired to his death, but while Takagi understands why Mashiro thinks this, he believes that people who fail in Jump should not be given a second chance. Neither convinces the other of his perspective, and they decide to drop the argument.

* Invoked in ''Chameleon Street'', not as a way to resolve a a conflict but simply as a way to appear less obtrusive.

* Mentioned amid the legalese spouted by the "court-appointed theatrical agent" in ''[[The Running Man (Filmfilm)|The Running Man]]'' (movie); Richards and the government "have agreed to disagree."

* Interesting variant in the ''[[Red Dwarf (TV)|Red Dwarf]]'' episode "Polymorph". Angerless Rimmer constantly says things like "Good point, let's take that on board" or "Well, let's put that on the back-burner for now", but really he's completely ignoring everyone else's opinions, until the discussion concludes with everyone else ignoring his. (To be fair, everyone's opinions at this point are ''completely insane'' because they're all missing an emotion.)

* Invoked by Paradox on ''[[Community (TV)|Community]]'' during the second season finale.
