Line 123:
* Used in a frequently quoted bit from ''[[Seinfeld]]''. Jerry's dentist tells him a mildly offensive Jewish joke, then explains that it's OK, because the dentist just converted to Judaism. Jerry later complains that he thinks the dentist merely converted for the jokes. When someone says, "And that offends you, as a Jew?" Jerry says, "No, it offends me as a comedian!"
** And in the same episode, Jerry tells a joke about dentists and gets accused of being an "anti-dentite". When a Jewish dentist talks about how his people have been persecuted, Jerry asks "The Jews?", to which he responds, "No, dentists!".
** Reversed in another episode, where Elaine is convinced that the owner of a certain restaurant is hiring only women with large busts (noticeably larger than she has), and goes to accuse him of discrimination (among other things) -- only to find out that the waitresses are all his daughters.
* In ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody]]'', Moseby tells his midget older brother that he was given special treatment from his mother. Why? Because he was ''lactose intolerant''! This turns out to be the older brother's [[Berserk Button]].
