* Parodied on ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]].'' While Bart is overhearing a conversation between Principal Skinner and Groundskeeper Willie, Skinner reveals that he is trying his hand at stand-up comedy. He invites Willie, giving him directions to the comedy club starting from the Simpsons' house.
* In the [[Too Good to Last|last]] episode of ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man]],'' [[Jerkass Woobie|Harry]] lingers just long enough to accidentally hear [[Love Interest|Gwen]], his girlfriend, and [[The Hero|Peter]], their mutual best friend, confess their feelings for each other. He's able to use this information to his advantage, however, when {{spoiler|his father's [[Not Quite Dead|apparent]] death}} guilts Gwen into staying with him.
* A subversion kicks off the plot in the first postscript season episode of ''[[Kim Possible]]'' after ''So the Drama''. After Bonnie plants the notion in Ron's head that he isn't good enough for Kim and that it's only a matter of time until she "trades up", he spends a day moping but reassures himself that Kim wouldn't do that. Then he overhears Kim telling Monique that Bonnie is right and that it's time to "trade up". If he waited a little longer, he would have realized they were talking about cell phones and the rest of the episode would have been really boring.
