** Possibly [[Truth in Television]] for anyone who has ever tried to remember the order of the alphabet, and sung the Alphabet Song. Or who find themselves [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNb9AoY5XXE singing the Preamble to the US Constitution.] (Note: the song ''does'' omit part of one line to scan better...)

* In ''[[Family Guy]]'', Peter could play the piano only when plastered. However, it wasn't a straight example of this trope. They didn't suggest this idiosyncrasy was because he learned to play the piano while drunk.

* Averted on ''[[South Park]]'': Towelie claims that, since he was high when he learned the passcode to enter the secret government base, he needs to get high in order to remember it. Once he ''does'' get high, all he manages to do is pound on the front door keypad to reproduce the [[Epic Riff]] from "Funkytown".
