Line 38:
*** [[Fridge Brilliance|Or you can take that to mean]] "I don't know all the places where he's not", giving it a double meaning (knowing as in having visited those places).
* This trope was played with in ''[[Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure|Bill And Ted's Bogus Journey]]''.
{{quote| '''Bill S. Preston, Esquire''': "That was non, non non, non heinous!"}}
* A botched translation of ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Fellowship of the Ring]]'' had Saruman claim "He can't not yet take physical form" when referring to [[Big Bad|Sauron]]. The creator of the website showing the botched translation baffled over what the double negative meant before promptly giving up.
* The ''[[Clue (film)|Clue]]'' movie has 2 instances-
** First, while discussing Col. Mustards 'midnight rendevouz'-
{{quote| '''Colonel Mustard''': Well, you tell him it's not true.<br />
'''Miss Scarlet''': It's not true.<br />
'''Professor Plum''': Is that true?<br />
'''Miss Scarlet''': No, it's not true.<br />
'''Mr. Green''': Ah ha! So it is true!<br />
'''Wadsworth''': A double negative! }}
** And then later when the Colonel asks Wadsworth if anyone else is in the house-
{{quote| '''Colonel Mustard:''' Wadsworth, am I right in thinking that there is nobody else in this house?<br />
'''Wadsworth:''' Um, no.<br />
'''Colonel Mustard:''' Then there is somebody else in the house?'''<br />
'''Wadsworth:''' No, sorry. I said no meaning yes.'''<br />
'''Colonel Mustard:''' No meaning yes? Look, I want a straight answer, is there someone else or isn't there, yes or no?<br />
'''Wadsworth:''' Um...no.<br />
'''Colonel Mustard:''' No, there is? Or no, there isn't?<br />
'''Wadsworth:''' Yes. }}
* Becomes a major plot point in ''[[The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra|The Lost Skeleton Returns Again]]'' after Chinfa, Queen of the Cantaloupe People, is introduced to the concept of the double negative.
Line 80:
* In the ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'' episode "Window Dressed to Kill", Olive tries to mess with Ned's head by using complex sentences after being on the receiving end of this trope. First, however, she consults a book titled "The Double Negative: What You Shouldn't Not Know".
* In ''[[The Vicar of Dibley]]'', Alice memorably breaks into a long discussion about butter, which ends in this convoluted line. It's more subtle by the fact that Alice is [[The Ditz]], yet her whole side of the exchange is perfectly consistent, and the smarter Vicar ends up baffled.
{{quote| '''Alice''': Well, I can't believe the stuff that is not ''I Can't Believe It's Not Butter'' is not ''I Can't Believe It's Not Butter''. And I can't believe that both ''I Can't Believe It's Not Butter'' and the stuff that I can't believe is not ''I Can't Believe It's Not Butter'' are both, in fact, not butter. And I believe... they both might be butter... in a cunning disguise. And, in fact, there's a lot more butter around than we all thought there was.}}
** In another episode, Jim's [[Verbal Tic]] leads him to announce over an intercom that "No no no no no parking is allowed in the upper field." Someone mistakes it for this trope, and asks him for some clarification as to whether or not he can actually park there or not.
* In Al TV, when [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] "interviews" [[Eminem]], he calls him out on a triple negative. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPwBdnknGIs "I don't owe nobody in my family nothin"]
* ''[[That Mitchell and Webb Look]]'' has a scene with a creepy director discussing a nude scene with an actor that gets around to this:
{{quote| '''Dan''': I mean, you won't actually be filming my penis.<br />
'''Director''': Well, there are no guarantees in this business, Dan, but if there's one thing I can say, it's that I'll try and avoid being very unsurprised if your penis doesn't not get filmed and put on general release up and down the land. }}
* [[The Daily Show]] [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-august-16-2010/mosque-erade parodied] [[Barack Obama]]'s use of convoluted speech thusly: "But let me be clear: There's no way I would not unsupport the kind of project that this isn't."
Line 93:
== Music ==
* "If I Never Stop Loving You" by obscure [[Country Music]] singer David Kersh:
{{quote| If I never stop loving you<br />
Will you never start wanting me to?<br />
Say you won't and that's what I'll do<br />
For forever with a heart so true<br />
If you'll start and end every day<br />
Forever never wanting me to go away<br />
All I'm ever gonna always do<br />
Is never stop loving you }}
** Later lampshaded subtly in verse 2, which has the line "I mean everything I think I just said."
Line 105:
* In "1921" from ''[[Tommy]]'': "You didn't hear it, you didn't see it, you won't say nothing to no one ever in your life."
* The chorus of Wes Carr's "You" does this:
{{quote| You can have what I got 'cuz I don't got nothin'<br />
Worth having if I ain't got you<br />
You can take what you want 'cuz I don't want nothin'<br />
I'm nothin' if I don't have you }}
* Pretty much the entirety of The Lemonheads' "Style", a sample lyric being "But I don't wanna not get stoned / So I'm not gonna not knock things down".
Line 114:
== Radio ==
* In one episode of [[I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again|I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again]], the show is introduced thus:
{{quote| '''Hatch:''' Yes, it's--or if I'm wrong again, it isn't--"I'm Not Sorry, I Won't Read That For the First Time." Which doesn't mean that Tim Brooke-Taylor, John Cleese, Graeme Garden, David Hatch, Jo Kendall and Bill Oddie aren't with you again. I'm almost negative about this.<br />
'''Brooke-Taylor:''' David ... David's flipped again, everybody. }}
 
Line 123:
* In the first ''[[Parappa the Rapper]]'', Cheap Cheap raps that she "ain't got no time for nobody".
* In ''[[Marvel Ultimate Alliance]]'', Thing confuses ''himself''. What he says and what he means are complete opposites.:
{{quote| '''Thing:''' "[The fact that beating up Rhino is fun ([[It Makes Sense in Context|don't ask)]]] don't mean I wouldn't rather have a face that don't look like a gravel road". }}
* ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People|Strong Bads Cool Game for Attractive People]]'': When you try to use the lighter on a person, Strong Bad says "I'd love to see him not not on fire, but not not not now.
* ''[[I Am an Insane Rogue AI]]'' does this in a very sneaky way; in one of the level-beginning speeches, the AI says "Your computer has not not yet been compromised. I promise!" The double-not is just a computing hiccup... right?
Line 135:
* In ''[[Suicide for Hire]]'', Hunter's father makes a (''very'' successful) attempt to ensure his son's future heterosexuality by giving him a porn magazine and telling him "By the way, I don't not want you not watching not Channel 169 after midnight when we're out of the house."
* A ''[[Dilbert]]'' [http://dilbert.com/fast/1993-03-26/ strip] features the PHB giving Dilbert a document to fill out that features close to a dozen negatives regarding the state of his employment.
{{quote| '''Dilbert:''' You're trying to trick us into quitting, aren't you?<br />
'''Boss:''' Use ink. }}
* In ''[[The Last Days of Foxhound]]'', Mantis uses a magnificent one to highlight Ocelot's [[Double Reverse Quadruple Agent]] status:
{{quote| '''Mantis:''' You must spend every day pretending to act like you're falsely letting on that you aren't not unbetraying someone you don't not purport to allegedly not work for but really do! How do you keep all this shit straight without having an ''aneurysm''?<br />
'''Ocelot ''[shrugging]'':''' Practice. }}
* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness|Kanaya]] of ''[[Homestuck]]''.
{{quote| {{color|#008141| GA: It Does Not Mean That Teamwork Is What Isnt Taking Place Here}}<br />
{{color|#a10000| AA: s0rry i didnt f0ll0w that}} }}
 
Line 149:
* In the [[Loading Ready Run]] sketch "Canadaman," the evil Jacques Francois passes out a petition regarding Quebec sovereignty. Everyone who tries to read it gives up and exclaims, "This petition uses ambiguous phraseology!"
* ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'': Sarge utilizes one of these, though more likely because he really thinks that way and is trying to emphasize his point and not because he's trying to confuse anyone.
{{quote| '''Sarge:''' Okay. And everyone in favor of not doing that thing and leaving her asleep and not getting killed by the person we're not going to wake up because nobody is that stupid, say Nay.<br />
'''Simmons:''' That was like a... quadruple negative. }}
* Dana in the ''[[Echo Chamber]]'' episode [[Dumbass Has a Point]] initially calls the final intro "not unimpressive", but then corrects herself to "really good".
Line 163:
* A horror-themed special episode of ''[[All Grown Up]]'' uses this as a [[Running Gag]] after Tommy [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] it: Somebody tells the gang a ghost story which ends with a few kids wandering out of the forest like they "don't never got no brain or nuthin'."
* That Cajun ferryman from the first ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' movie.
{{quote| "You ain't never caught Big Mona and you ain't never gonna did!"}}
