Batman in My Basement: Difference between revisions

* Inverted in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' when Xander had to hide the villain Spike in his basement, to avoid his recapture by the Initiative.

* Excellently done on ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]''. Michael guesses correctly that his son is hiding someone in the attic, but assumes it's his girlfriend rather than his grandfather. This leads to the following exchange when his son tries to confess:

'''Michael:''' What? The mere fact that you call making love 'pop-pop' tells me you're not ready! }}

* Subverted in the ''[[Farscape]]'' episode "I, E.T." Crichton lands on a planet that's never encountered aliens, and is caught by a young boy. He assumes this is going to be an E.T. story, and is aghast when the boy almost immediately calls for his mom. Then the two argue about what to do, with the ''adult'' wanting to hide him and the ''child'' wanting to turn him in to the military.
