Line 57:
== Live
* An episode of ''[[Get Smart]]'' opens with Max receiving the name of a KAOS spy from a midget in an otherwise vacant warehouse. Max immediately tells the informant that he was surprised that he wasn't shot dead right before revealing the name. Because of the surprise, Max forgets the name and asks the informant to repeat it. The informant is then killed by a sniper before repeating the name.
* The titular character of ''[[Castle]]'' does this CONSTANTLY. He's a big fan of CIA/NSA conspiracies, alien abductions, time travel and in an episode where a murder victim has a butler, he would dearly love to say "[[The Butler Did It]]."
* Host segments on ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' were frequently dedicated to discussions that would deconstruct themes and tropes found in the movies the main characters were watching. The episode ''[[Eegah]]'', for example, has one relating to the [[Missing Mom]] of the film, and how it was a plot setup commonly used in television of the period. The Bots also [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshade]] the whole thing by pointing out they don't technically have a mom either.
