In the scene in Reality Trip where Danny's [[Secret Identity]] is revealed to the entire world, Sam looks at him and says, "Well, it could be worse." [[Tempting Fate|"Oh really, how?".]] The Guys in White then proceed to show up: "You're coming in for [[Enhanced Interrogation Techniques|questioning-"]] "-And [[Theyd Cut You Up|experiments]].

* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "The City of New York Vs. Homer Simpson", [[Unreliable Narrator|Homer's flashback]] to his last visit to NYC goes like this, all to the tune of ''The Entertainer'': he gets a stranger to take his photo, but after taking it, the guy steals his camera, so Homer goes to a cop to report it, and the cop steals his suitcase. Then someone steals his wallet and a bird steals his hot dog. He's covered in trash dumped from a nearby window by none other than [[Woody Allen]], and while cleaning himself off, inadvertently tosses a banana peel onto a pimp. The angry pimp chases him and the ladder he climbs to escape falls down a manhole... |

** It was also [[Lampshaded]] in the episode ''A Star Is Burns'' with the [[Show Within a Show|Film in an Episode]] ''Bright Lights Beef Jerkey'' where, from what was obviously security footage, Snake is holding up Apu with a sawed-off shotgun and Apu calling for help from the Police. Although Chief Wiggum was actually on the scene, he wasn't able to help because his tie was caught in the Hot Dog rotissery machine, and was pulled in, causing him to remark "Oh boy, looks like it's gonna get worse before it gets better." |
