And a Diet Coke: Difference between revisions

 

 

* On an episode of ''[[The Odd Couple]]'', Oscar asks a visiting monk to make him a hamburger. On the burger, he asks for mustard, relish, pickles, hot sauce, peppers and chili. The monk says, "No onions?" Oscar replies, "No, I've got an ulcer."

* One episode of ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' has the team's metabolism massively accelerated dues to the week's phlebotninum. [[I'll Take Two Beers, Too!|Each one of them orders three steaks]]. And Sam orders a diet soda. When Jack and Daniel look at her all funny, she says, "What? I like the taste better!"

* In the ''[[Wings (TV series)|Wings]]'' episode "Wingless, Part 2", the Hacketts are flying a country music duo on a concert tour. When the overweight member of the pair asks for a Diet Coke, her oversexed partner sarcastically compares it to rearranging deck chairs on the ''Titanic''.

* Also occurs in the British TV series ''[[Porridge]]'', where Fletcher is offered cocoa, which he accepts, and then sugar. He refuses the biscuits, citing watching his weight, as he dumps at least four heaping spoonfuls of sugar in his already-sweet cocoa.

* A sketch on ''[[The Ossie Ostrich Video Show]]'' had Ossie asking for 25 sugars in his cup of tea before adding "...but don't stir it. I hate anything sweet."

* ''[[Frasier]]''. When taking part in a weight-loss challenge yet finding that he's still gaining weight, the titular doctor exclaims, "But I added a salad to every meal!"

* Nickelodeon's ''[[My Brother and Me]]'' had a variant. Roger once made a comically large submarine sandwich for lunch that he prepared to eat all by himself and wash down with root beer. Then, after judging the sandwich's weight, Roger decides to settle on ''diet'' root beer, instead.

{{quote|'''Mike:''' I don't get that. You get a skimmed milk latte, and then you put whipped cream and sugar in it.

'''Donna:''' ''Because'' I get skimmed milk, I ''can'' put milk and sugar in it. }}

'''Roscoe''': Yeah, and get something for yourself Enos.

'''Enos''': You want that pie a la mode?
