Line 142:
** Not to mention every feeding being a very obvious allusion to sex, cluminating in one very particular episode. Both Bill and Eric were burned and needed healing. Follow, a frame of Sookie sitting between them, with a very meaningful expression on her face, while each vampire is sucking at a different wrist of hers. Fans had a lot to think about that night.
* [http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=185177&title=daily/colbert-just-a-quickie This] clip from ''[[The Daily Show]]'', as if there wasn't enough Jon/Stephen [[Ho Yay]] already.
* Very much dramatic rather than comedic, but in season 3 of ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' {{spoiler|Sylar breaks into Claire's house and succeeds in stealing her [[Healing Factor|power]], but does it without killing her unlike his previous victims. The experience visibly shakes Claire and she describes Sylar as "taking something that was hers." She then wants to learn how to fight so she can "help people", but after her biological mother Meredith puts her through [[Training Fromfrom Hell]], Claire finally breaks and admits she doesn't want to fight so she can help people, but to find Sylar and "hurt him for hurting me!" The whole thing plays out as if Claire was a rape victim instead of somebody who had her superpower stolen (or copied, whatever).}}
** After a truly [[Nightmare Fuel|nightmarish]] chase through the house with doors slamming in her face by themselves, being {{spoiler|immobilized on a table while a creepy guy sticks his fingers into squishy places is about as thinly-veiled as the metaphor can get without him doing his thing while on top of her.}}
*** "Stealing a woman's power" took on a whole new meaning.
Line 194:
** [[Truth in Television]].
* ''[[Doctor Who]]'' has had this over the years, but the best—and most horrifying—example comes from "Turn Left", in which the UK government collapses and [[Putting on the Reich|puts on the Reich]]. Including the internment of foreign nationals. When one of Donna's housemates and friends is interned, Donna is oblivious to the parallel. Wilfred isn't, and he's absolutely horrified by it. And, coupled with Bernard Cribbins' emotive acting, it's enough to [[Tear Jerker|make the viewer cry]].
** Incidentally, [[The Master (trope)|The Master]] ''likes it'' when the Doctor [[Foe Yay|uses his name]].
*** And the Doctor's jaw drops when he sees the Master with a wife. And later refers to her as [[The Beard|his beard.]]
** Try taking "dances" out of "The Doctor Dances."
