Line 53:
* ''[[Earth Girls Are Easy]]'' - an alien asks Valerie if they're in Finland (just having seen a sexy travel commercial) - she cheerfully replies "No, you're in the Valley - Finland is the capital of Norway!"
* In ''[[The Wizard of Oz (Film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'', Glinda's song in the beginning says, "She fell from the sky/ She fell very far/ And Kansas she says/ Is the name of the star" implying that Oz is on another world that now thinks Earth is Only Kansas.
* [[Inverted Trope|Inverted]] on a local level in the classic ''[[Holiday Inn]]'', when Ted Hanover asks the maitre d' ''of a Manhattan club'' for directions:
{{quote|'''François:''' The second time he came from his dressing room he asked which way is Connecticut.<br />
'''Danny Reed:''' Connecticut?<br />
'''François:''' Connecticut. He said he had a friend there who knows about women too.<br />
'''Danny Reed:''' Why didn't you stop him?<br />
'''François:''' How can I stop him sir when I don't know which way is Connecticut! }}
