Line 90:
* Similair to the religious example above, a [[Running Gag]] in [[Looney Tunes]] is that a character can run (pun not intended) across water or even air just fine [[Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress|as long as somebody else doesn't point them at this fact]].
** Lampshaded at least once in ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' - they can walk on air across a canyon as long as they don't look down.
* Happens to ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' when he tries to explain how shoelaces are tied, and gets so mixed up that he entirely ''forgets how to do it.'' Fortunately, Gary provides a "how to tie your laces" recording to teach him the process all over again.
** Actually, he realizes his shoes have always been tied.
** Another episode has Spongebob forgetting how to "assemble" a Krabby Patty after a rival {{spoiler|falsely}} tells him he forgot the pickles. It comes to a point where he tells Mr. Krabs that he cannot do it while saying the steps, then realizing he did just that.
* When Skull Boy loses his [[Magic Feather|lucky charm]] on the eve of a quiz game championship in ''[[Ruby Gloom]]'', he finds it impossible to answer even the simplest questions. What falls into this trope is that throughout the second half of the episode Ruby offhandedly asks him questions several times that he answers without thinking, only to fall apart when this is pointed out to him.
* Bob from ''[[Bob's Burgers]]'' couldn't flip burgers properly after Teddy asked how to do it.
