{{quote|"You know, William, that's what one Hubert Humphrey said back in 1968 at the start of the Democratic National Convention. But then hippies put acid in everyone's bourbon, and when an updraft revealed Lady Bird Johnson's tramp stamp, and tattoos above her ovaries, Mayor Richard J.

* ''[[Kitchen Nightmares]]'' has this in full spades. Gordon Ramsay visits a restaurant that is in need of serious help and in nearly every episode, the owner, the chef, or just ''anybody'' working in the place will lie to Gordon's face whenever he asks something that is related to their problems, such as if the food is made fresh or is frozen.
