Line 267:
* Mercilessly parodied in ''Brass'' whenever one of the characters needs to remind viewers of the plot.
* Used in the season 2 finale of ''[[Veronica Mars]]'', in which the [[Big Bad]] and Veronica take a 5 minute timeout before he tries to kill her, for them to confirm yes, she knows everything. [[Shout-Out|Veronica Mars is smarter than me]], so I was [[Tropes Are Not Bad|thankful and disbelief-suspending]], for the explanation
* On ''[[The X-Files]]'', Mulder would often explain the definition of various medical conditions to Scully. Actually, he was explaining it to the audience, but that didn't make it any less silly when one considered that Scully was a ''medical doctor'' and Mulder wasn't.
* ''[[Dollhouse]]'' has a scene with Dewitt explaining how a rich psycho got out of a bunch of crimes, followed by Boyd saying "And by that, do you mean..." and she responds with what she was actually hinting at. After he does it twice she hangs a lampshade on it with "There is no need to continue to translate me."
* Done a fair amount by Winston in ''[[Human Target]]'', although tends to be of the form "Now, remember..." or "Here's the plan..." although it's something the putative listener wouldn't forget or already knows.
