* ''[[Galaxy Quest]]'' does this frequently, mainly using the character of Guy, an actor who never quite got over how he played a [[Red Shirt]] in the series:
{{quote| "I'm not even supposed to be here; I'm just '[[Nominal Importance|Crewman Number Six]].' I'm expendable. I'm the guy in the episode who dies to prove how serious the situation is!"}}
* ''[[Beverly Hills Cop]]'' features a [[Played for Laughs]] discussion of [[Bolivian Army Ending]], during the final shootout with the [[Big Bad]]'s goons. Of course, the scene doesn't actually end this way, making it a parody as well.
{{quote| '''Rosewood:''' You know what I keep thinking about? You know the end of Butch Cassidy? Redford and Newman are almost out of ammunition, and the whole Bolivian army is out- out in front of this little hut?<br />
'''Taggart:''' Billy, I'm gonna make you pay for this. }}
* [[The Boondock Saints]] pull this measure during a shopping scene where one character impedes himself with a large length of rope, because people in the movies always have it and always need it. Lampshaded later on.
Line 75:
* In an episode of ''[[The Batman]]'', Alfred worries that "This time, the butler may indeed have done it" in relation to a series of robberies from the Wayne household. Funny thing is? He ''did'' do it, under hypnosis. That was discovered quite quickly.
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'':
{{quote| '''Homer:''' If this were a cartoon, the rock would break off now...}}
* In the ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' episode "Sabotage", damage to the Supercomputer causes lots of bugs on Lyoko, including one that makes Ulrich's Avatar lose all colors. Playing along, he starts fighting a Tarantula ''[[The Three Musketeers (novel)|Three Musketeers]]''-style with his katana. (The French version also adds in a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Cyrano De Bergerac]]''.)
{{quote| '''Ulrich:''' Since I am in [[Deliberately Monochrome|black and white]], let's [[Monochrome Past|do this old style]]. ''En garde!''}}
* In any episode of ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' with Henchmen 21 and 24, it's a certainty that the [[Genre Savvy]] henchmen will discuss at least one trope.
